Chapter 1261 The Frustrated Han Emperor
Liu Che was angry!
He is really angry!
He didn't understand why he was always the one who suffered.
He knew clearly that this was Chu Ning's evil plot, and that he wanted to use him to restrain Sima Yi, but he couldn't refuse.
If he refused, Sima Yi would ally with the Qin State, which would not be a good thing for the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, if Sima Yi really cooperates with the Qin army to contain the 100,000 Chu troops in Maple Leaf City, Chu Ning will undoubtedly lose this battle!
Once Chu Ning is defeated, Sima Yi will definitely ask Ying Zheng to assist him in attacking the Han Dynasty.
By then, Ying Zheng would definitely send troops to attack the Han Dynasty because of Sima Yi's help.
Therefore, the most correct choice at this moment is to delay Sima Yi and let Chu Ning and Ying Zheng fight to the point of mutual destruction.
But when he thought about having to work for Chu Ning for free, he became furious.
He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he has to be controlled by the prince of Chu!
This feeling is so suffocating.
"Is there no other way?"
Liu Che had a gloomy face and stared at Chen Pin questioningly.
Chen Pin naturally understood what Liu Che was thinking and opened his mouth to explain.
But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that he couldn't say it.
Once it is said, it will anger Liu Che and will be detrimental to his judgment.
The best way is to let Liu Che think about it himself.
Thinking of this, Chen Pin lowered his head and fell silent.
Seeing that Chen Pin didn't say anything, Liu Che seemed to realize that he was asking unnecessary questions.
If Chen Pin had other ideas, he would not have taken the initiative to ask him to cooperate with the Chu army to contain Sima Yi.
Moreover, in this matter, it is indeed beneficial to the Han Dynasty and has no harm.
However, it would be too embarrassing to agree to this.
You have to give me a way out, right?
Liu Che raised his eyebrows and said sternly, "Forget it, let's wait for the news of Sima Yi's movements from the front line before deciding on this matter!"
He wanted to see what Sima Yi would do first.
What if Sima Yi didn’t agree to Ying Zheng’s request?
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from a guard outside the palace came: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Protectorate has sent urgent military information!"
"Show it up!" Liu Che was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would be movement on the front line so soon.
The fact that Huo Quji was able to use urgent military intelligence to convey the message shows that this matter is of vital importance.
Soon, the imperial guards presented the news sent by carrier pigeon.
When Liu Che opened it, his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
Chen Pin asked at the right time: "Your Majesty, has the Wei army moved?"
Liu Che nodded with a gloomy face: "That's right, Sima Yi dispatched Xu Fang to lead tens of thousands of troops to Maple Leaf City. It seems that he really wants to cooperate with the Qin army to contain the 100,000 Chu troops over there."
"In this battle, the Chu State is likely to be in trouble. Once the Chu State is taken down, Sima Yi will definitely join forces with the Great Qin Dynasty to attack our dynasty!"
Feeling that the matter was extremely serious, Liu Che paced back and forth on the spot. His hurried footsteps showed his inner anxiety at the moment.
He knew very well that Sima Yi would not help the Qin Dynasty for no reason and must have made other requests.
Perhaps joining forces to attack the Han Dynasty was Sima Yi's request to Ying Zheng.
"This matter can't be delayed any longer!"
Liu Che suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes, and a firm look flashed across his face: "Even if Chu Ning is going to die at the hands of Ying Zheng, I can't let them win too easily."
"Send a message to the Duke of Protectorate to attack Wei's Qingzhou immediately and take as many cities as possible. We must force Sima Yi to send troops back to support us!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Pin breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and responded, then went downstairs to make arrangements immediately.
The Wei army has already set out, and it is too late to stop them now.
The only way was to launch a fierce attack on Qingzhou, posing a threat to Sima Yi and forcing him to dispatch troops to support.
Liu Che looked at Chen Pin's departing back with an unpleasant expression on his face.
After the other person's figure completely disappeared from his sight, he suddenly sat down on the chair like a deflated ball.
"Chun Ning!"
Liu Che said with reluctance: "I am not helping you this time, but for the benefit of the Han Dynasty!"
This sentence eased his anger a lot.
Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable at the thought of helping someone who had cheated him several times.
What's more, Chu Ning didn't give him any benefits this time, which made him even more unhappy.
With a cold snort, Liu Che turned away, ready to go to the harem to find the concubine to vent his anger.
The news of the Han Dynasty's proactive attack reached Chu Ning's ears a few days later.
On this day, the Chu army had arrived in the Qin territory and the entire army was heading towards Julu.
The Qin county soldiers along the way had been wiped out by the vanguard army's Ran Ming, and the journey was peaceful.
The mighty army advanced rapidly under the mighty dragon banner.
Although the Qin people in various places were furious about the invasion of the Chu army, no one dared to attack an army of tens of thousands of people!
On this day, the team received good news as they advanced.
"Your Highness, good news, good news!"
Jia Yu, who never showed his happiness, came to the carriage with a piece of intelligence and reported: "The Han army has sent out troops and is currently attacking Qingzhou!"
Inside the carriage, Chu Ning, who had lost a lot of weight, smiled.
This was what he expected.
Any ambitious emperor would never allow his neighbors to become more powerful.
What's more, Sima Yi is cooperating with the State of Qin this time, which makes Liu Che even more worried.
Therefore, he had long concluded that Liu Che would not stand idly by, and he wrote the letter to the other party just to give Liu Che a way out.
"Liu Che is pretty good!"
Chu Ning gave a fair evaluation and chuckled, "If he doesn't send troops to attack Qingzhou, he won't be the Liu Che I know."
"However, since Sima Yi has agreed to send troops to Ying Zheng, he should be prepared, right?"
Although Chu Ning had never met Sima Yi, he had dealt with him before.
He was well aware of this man's cunningness. Since he dared to send troops to Maple Leaf City, he must have made some arrangements.
Sure enough, Jia Yu's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Sima Yi gathered all his troops and guarded the Guandu area, using the local terrain to block the Han army."
"Although the Wei army's troops are far less than the Han army's, they have relied on their geographical advantages to block the Han army's attack. The two sides are now fighting fiercely."
"Looking at Sima Yi's current movements, he is determined to work with the Qin army to hold back His Majesty the Thirteenth Prince's 100,000 troops!"
"Your Highness, it's time for us to take action!"
If Sima Yi did not send troops to support, the Chu Kuang in Maple Leaf City would not dare to fight the Qin army easily, let alone go to Julu City to participate in the final decisive battle.
Therefore, the Chu army must take action!
Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Send a message to Brother Thirteen, and ask him to take the initiative to attack. If we can cripple the Wei army, that would be the best. Even if we can't cripple them, we must force them to retreat!"
After a pause, he suddenly looked towards the direction of Jin State, with a solemn look in his eyes.
"Strange, it's been quite some time since I sent the letter, why hasn't the Emperor of Jin replied yet?"
This battle is crucial. If the Chu army can gain the support of Jin, its chances of winning will increase threefold.
To do this, he must take out what Jin State wants most!
But until now, Jin State has not replied!
Jia Yu made a prompt decision: "I will immediately notify the Jin Kingdom's Jinyiwei to investigate this matter!"
