Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 139 Rebellion and falling out!

Angry!

Chang Hongbo was furious and filled with murderous intent. He wished he could lead his troops to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army immediately to avenge his son.

The only son was killed and beheaded. It was such a great humiliation. If they didn’t take revenge, how would the Chang family survive in the future!

However, the generals around him changed their expressions when they heard this, and they all advised: "General, calm down. Our army is short of food and grass, and the soldiers are hungry. We can't fight a decisive battle!"

"Yes, General, this matter still needs to be considered carefully."

"The enemy has a large number of troops. Even if their morale is low because they failed to capture your highness's camp, they are still no match for our army."

"Please think twice, General!"

The generals were not fools. They all understood that Chang Hongbo wanted to fight to the death at this moment just to avenge Chang Zhengyang.

But they don't want to die, and they don't want to die in such an unclear way.

This decisive battle cannot be fought!

But Chang Hongbo glanced at everyone coldly, his eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice, making people dare not look directly at him.

Then, with a clang, the sword was unsheathed!

With a cold light flashing, Chang Hongbo stared at everyone and said in a cold voice: "Do we have food if we delay it any longer? Do we think the court will send troops to support us if we delay it any longer?

The time has come for this battle to be fought. Further delay will only give the enemy a chance to find our weaknesses.

This battle must be fought. If there are any problems, I will take full responsibility!

All the generals, go down and reorganize the troops immediately, and gather outside the north of the city in an hour. Anyone who does not come will be killed without mercy!"

After he finished speaking, Chang Hongbo swung his sword and hit the column hard, leaving a deep gap to show his determination to fight to the end.

Upon seeing this, all the generals were terrified and no one dared to say a word, for fear that they would be the first to be criticized.

"Since the generals have no objection, let's go down and prepare!"

At the command, all the generals went down to make arrangements.

However, while they were gathering their troops, they were secretly discussing.

Inside the city, in a dark room, eight generals gathered together, each with an ugly look on their face.

"What should we do? General Chang is determined to fight to the death!"

"Alas, we can't persuade them. What else can we do except do as we are told?"

"Hmph, if it were me, I'd better send someone out of the city to find His Highness. Only His Highness can stop General Chang."

"Yes, Your Highness is a prince, and he comes in the name of the emperor. As long as Your Highness comes forward, this matter can be accomplished."

After discussion, everyone agreed and decided to find Chu Ning.

They were unable to persuade Chang Hongbo because of their low status and were suppressed by Chang Hongbo.

But Chu Ning is different. As a prince, he is also the front-line commander appointed by the emperor. If he has their support, he can definitely stop this.

What's more, Chu Ning still has food and military pay. Once Chu Ning becomes the commander-in-chief, they won't have to worry about this matter in the short term.

Let Chu Ning take over Dingxiang City!

Having made up their minds, everyone mobilized their troops and sent people to send the letter with their fingerprints out of the city.

At this moment in the camp, Chu Ning was listening to Zhao Yu's report.

"Your Highness, in this battle, our army completely wiped out the enemy cavalry. Our army suffered only a few hundred casualties, and most of them were those prisoners. The Modao Team, Liannu Team, and White Horse Cavalry suffered little loss, and most of them were just injured."

Chu Ning was very satisfied with the result. He nodded with a smile and said, "Very good. Pass the order down. All the soldiers will be rewarded!"

But Liu Shouren on the side smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, General Chang died in battle. The General of the Cavalry will definitely not let it go when he hears the news. I want to go into the city to take a look."

Chu Ning glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't worry, no matter what the Cavalry General does, the generals in the city will not let him do whatever he wants."

Just as he finished speaking, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, someone outside the camp brought letters from the generals in the city."

"Let him in!" Chu Ning looked calm and not surprised at this.

Soon, a soldier entered the tent holding a letter, knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Tell me, what do the generals want you to do here?"

"This is a letter from the generals. Your Highness, please take a look!"

Zhao Yu took the letter and handed it to Chu Ning respectfully.

Chu Ning opened the letter and took a look at it, his face still showing no joy or sadness.

"Go back and tell the generals to open the city gates in three quarters of an hour. I will lead the army in!"

"Yes!" the man responded and immediately retreated.

At this time, Feng Mulan asked curiously: "What did they say in the letter?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed across them: "Chang Hongbo actually wants to gather all the troops and horses to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Liu Shouren's face turned pale, "How... How is this possible? The enemy's army is three times larger than ours. If we go out of the city to fight, our army will surely be defeated."

Even Feng Mulan frowned: "This guy is really unreasonable. It's fine if his son is seeking death himself, but now he wants to sacrifice the lives of so many soldiers.

Humph, no, we must not let him do this, we must enter the city and stop him immediately!"

As the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Feng Mulan's education since childhood made her unable to tolerate Chang Hongbo's behavior.

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Pass the order down, everyone get ready, we will enter the city in three quarters of an hour, the soldiers will go in first, and the food and military pay will follow."

After a pause, Chu Ning looked at Liu Shouren and asked, "Is it okay to leave the food and military pay at Lord Liu's house?"

"I will do my best to protect these food and military pay!"

"Very good, let's go down and get ready!"

At the command, the camp became lively and people began to move out.

Although the incident was huge, no one told Chang Hongbo about it.

At this moment, Chang Hongbo had already arrived at the north city wall. He was like an unshakable pine or cypress, staring at the Zhao army camp outside the city.

His son's death made him completely crazy, and he was determined to fight a decisive battle with Zhao's army at all costs.

It was also because of this that he neglected to monitor the soldiers in the city, allowing the news of Chu Ning and his men entering the city to remain secret.

However, Chang Hongbo also had his confidants, and after Chu Ning entered the city and began to settle down, someone finally reported the news.

"General, it's bad. The Prince of Penglai has brought his troops into the city!"

Unexpectedly, Chang Hongbo didn't even blink, and said indifferently: "Even if he is like this, he can't stop me from fighting the enemy."

"is it?"

Chu Ning's voice suddenly appeared behind him, saying calmly: "It seems that the General of the Cavalry is determined to fight a decisive battle with the enemy. Do you know that this will kill 100,000 soldiers of my Great Chu!"

Chang Hongbo did not even turn his head or offer any courtesy, and asked in a cold voice, "Your Highness, are you here to stop me?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a cold look flashed across his face: "Yes, I am here to stop you. We cannot fight this battle!"

These words made Chang Hongbo slowly turn around and stare at Chu Ning: "What if I must fight?"

Chu Ning sneered: "You can't fight whenever you want. I have already taken control of your generals. No one agrees to go to war. How can you fight?"

"is it?"

Chang Hongbo suddenly smiled grimly: "As long as I kill you, I will be the commander-in-chief. Who dares not to obey?"

After he finished speaking, the sword was unsheathed and headed straight for Chu Ning's heart!
