Chapter 522 It’s Not Like This King Won’t Come Back
Su Cheng hesitated for a long time and still couldn't make up his mind.
Although he knew that Chu Ning was doing this for his own good, he had finally managed to stabilize his position in Luo City. It would be very risky for him to lead his troops to the front line.
It would be fine if Yan Yucheng was the only one on the front line. He believed that with Chu Ning's intelligence, he would definitely be able to defeat the opponent.
After all, if Chu Ning can defeat the opponent once, he can defeat him twice!
But the problem now is that there is a Yan State war god named Le Yi on the front line. This man far surpasses Yan Yucheng in both his ability to command troops and his prestige in the Yan army.
He doesn't stand much chance of winning a battle with such a man.
For a moment, Su Cheng fell into deep thought.
Chu Ning looked at Su Cheng, who was full of hesitation, and a hint of amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.
If Su Cheng agreed immediately, he would really look down on this person.
But this person is hesitating and thinking, which shows that he has some understanding of the situation.
This is not a brainless person!
This is the kind of person he wants!
Chu Ning did not urge him, but held the teacup with a leisurely look on his face.
After half a cup of tea, Su Cheng raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "May I ask Your Highness, King Chu, what are the chances of winning this battle?"
Chu Ning put down the teacup, touched his chin and smiled: "General Su, do you want to hear the truth or just some polite words?"
"Of course it's the truth!"
"I am not absolutely sure of winning this battle, but my chances of winning are probably around 60 to 70 percent."
As soon as these words came out, Su Cheng's face changed slightly.
In a battle of this scale, a 60 to 70 percent chance of winning is already pretty good.
But he was puzzled, where did Chu Ning get so many chances of winning?
That Le Yi is not someone who can be easily defeated!
Su Cheng frowned: "Your Highness the King of Chu may not know that Le Yi alone turned the tide and defeated the 200,000-strong Wei army, which laid the foundation for the current status of Yan.
With this person here, it will not be easy to win this battle."
As a general, one should not talk about victory but consider defeat first. Although he is not as good as the opponent in morale, this also shows that Su Cheng is a cautious person.
Chu Ning was not surprised by this. The more cautious Su Cheng was, the more he appreciated him.
"General Su is right, but I deliberately let Yan Yucheng go in order to check and balance Le Yi!"
Chu Ning smiled and told his plan: "Although Le Yi is powerful, as long as he is not in power, the initiative of this battle will be in the hands of our army."
When Su Cheng suddenly heard that Yan Yucheng was let go by Chu Ning, his face changed slightly.
But after listening to it, I was filled with awe!
It turned out that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had been planning the next war half a month ago.
This alone is something he cannot compare to!
Moreover, the King of Chu will go to the front line in person for this battle. What is there for him to hesitate about?
A person like the King of Chu would never fall into a desperate situation!
Thinking of this, Su Cheng immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Highness the King of Chu is wise, and I admire you very much!
In this battle, I am willing to lead 20,000 brothers to follow His Royal Highness the King of Chu to encircle and suppress the Yan army! "
Chu Ning laughed: "That's great. In the next half month, General Su, you must quickly wipe out the remnants of the rebels and capture them all before you set off!"
Su Cheng was shocked when he heard this: "Your Highness wants me to cut the Gordian knot? But if I do that, I will have to kill many people."
During this period, he had killed thousands of people and aroused public anger.
If he continues to intensify the killing, there is no guarantee that he will not be impeached.
But Chu Ning said calmly: "General Su, with the support of the king and the Queen, you can do it boldly!
Time is running out, there is only half a month left, we can’t delay any longer, as long as the evidence is solid, after I review it, I will immediately confiscate the property and exterminate the clan!”
This is the determination to completely eliminate the remnants of the rebels!
Su Cheng reacted and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu thinks highly of me, I will do my best in this matter."
Chu Ning then showed a satisfied look: "I am very pleased that you have such determination, but you have to start training your troops in the next half month. You can't lose your most important thing just because of clearing out the rebels."
"I will finally understand!"
"Okay, go down and make the arrangements."
"I'll take my leave!" Su Cheng bowed and left.
Chu Ning looked at Su Cheng's departing back, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
It's time to eliminate the remnants of the rebels in Los Angeles.
As for those in the court who are related to the rebel party, they will surely jump out after Su Cheng increases his efforts, and then they can be caught in one fell swoop.
As long as Luocheng is settled, he won't have to worry about Wu Zhao spending time and effort doing these things after he leaves.
Before leaving, he wants to eliminate the rebels for the empress!
It is not easy for the empress to do such an offensive thing, so he will do it!
Who said the empress is his woman!
In the next half month, more intense operations to crack down on the rebels were launched in Los Angeles.
What's more, Su Cheng raided three mansions in one day!
This made many officials and wealthy families in Luocheng feel insecure.
Finally, ten days later, many officials could no longer bear it, and they jointly submitted a memorial to the empress, hoping that she would come forward to resolve the matter.
But their memorials fell into Chu Ning's hands, and Chu Ning told Su Cheng the names of these people and investigated them one by one!
On the third day after the memorial was submitted, most of the officials who submitted the memorial were found to be connected with the rebels. Su Cheng confiscated the properties of all these people and exterminated their families on the same day.
A total of twelve officials were not spared and were beheaded on the spot, and all their property was confiscated.
This frightened the other officials who had originally wanted to submit a memorial together, and no one dared to mention the matter anymore.
After this incident, the remnants of the rebels in Luo City were almost cleared out, and Su Cheng began to reorganize his troops and prepare to rush to the front line.
As for Chu Ning, after accompanying the empress for a full month, it was time for him to say goodbye.
That night, the Lizheng Hall was brightly lit.
After bathing, Wu Zhao wore a purple gauze gown, which glowed brightly under the candlelight.
Tonight, she specially prepared a banquet in the palace to see Chu Ning off.
Because Chu Ning is leaving tomorrow.
Chu Ning, who received the news, came to the hall and found that Wu Zhao had changed her style and was wearing a low-cut long gown. He couldn't help but be dazzled.
Because of her confinement period, Wu Zhao dressed very conservatively, almost completely airtight.
Today, she suddenly changed into this low-cut long gown, which made her look less majestic than an emperor and more like a mature woman.
Especially after giving birth to a child, Wu Zhao had a special fragrance on her body.
Chu Ning stepped forward, took her slender waist, and said with a smile: "It's not like I won't be back, why are you making it so grand?"
Wu Zhao stretched out her hand to push away the mischievous hands and rolled her eyes at him: "I am just practicing for you, it is not as grand as you say."
"is it?"
Chu Ning pointed at the food and wine on the table, his face full of amusement: "Then I wonder what Her Majesty the Empress wants to do by ordering people to make fried leeks and eggs, pigeon meat, yam soup, stewed cuttlefish, and roasted whole lamb?"
Wu Zhao was about to speak when Chu Ning picked her up.
"you……"
"Shh~"
Chu Ning blocked her mouth with a finger and said with a wicked smile: "I know what to do next, just cooperate with me."
He wanted to prove to Wu Zhao that he didn't need these tonic things at all!
