Chapter 1265: Complete Termination!
There was a sudden change in the State of Jin. The second prince Ji Yingjie ascended the throne and immediately mobilized troops to support the State of Qin!
Chu Ning received news of such a big event four days later.
At this moment, Chu Ning was feeling unwell due to traveling for several days in a row, and was now resting in a city.
Pingyang City is more than a hundred miles away from Julu.
This place is neither an important town nor a big city, it is just an ordinary small town.
But because Chu Ning was resting here, the Chu army occupied this place.
In a large mansion in the city, there were heavy guards, and on the streets, cavalrymen were patrolling from time to time.
At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard.
Jia Yu rode his horse at full speed. The guards at the door recognized him and did not stop him.
Jia Yu walked unimpeded all the way to the backyard, bowed to the room in the east, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, something happened in Jin State!"
He did not go in.
Because Chu Ning rarely saw anyone after the last attack of the poison, and he hadn't even left his room. He said he was worried that catching a cold would accelerate the onset of the poison.
"What happened to make Lord Jia so nervous?"
Chu Ning's hoarse voice came from inside the room, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.
The days of traveling were already the limit for someone who was poisoned.
While thinking, Jia Yu said solemnly: "The Emperor of Jin died suddenly, and the second prince Ji Yingjie succeeded to the throne."
"In the end, Ji Yingjie obtained all military power in Jin State, sent the fourth prince to a fiefdom, and the sixth prince took the initiative to guard the imperial mausoleum."
"Not only that, he also asked General Xian Zhen to lead half of the Jin army to rush to Julu to cooperate with the Qin army to encircle and annihilate our army!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
Jia Yu couldn't see Chu Ning's expression, but he could guess that Chu Ning's face must be very ugly at the moment.
Jin State originally had a good relationship with Chu State, but unexpectedly, due to the death of the Jin Emperor, the new Jin Emperor turned to Qin State.
In this way, the number of the Qin-Jin coalition forces would exceed that of the Chu-Zhou coalition forces, which would be very disadvantageous to them.
While he was deep in thought, Chu Ning’s voice came from inside the room: “Although it is unexpected, I don’t see the hope of defeating the Qin army pinned on the Jin State.
Their turning to Qin would only increase the difficulty for us to defeat the Qin army, and would not be a big deal.
What's more, the total military strength of Jin State was less than 200,000. Even if half of the troops were mobilized, it would only be 70,000 to 80,000 at most.
"Furthermore, the Jin army's infantry is not strong in combat, their strength lies only in their navy. If we really meet on the battlefield, our 10,000 cavalry can defeat the Jin army!"
Chu Ning really didn't take the Jin army seriously.
It is common knowledge that the Jin army is weak.
If he were to fight a naval battle with the Jin army, he would certainly not be so careless.
But now, a large-scale infantry and cavalry battle was taking place on the Julu Plain, and the combat effectiveness of the Jin army was unable to influence the direction of the battle.
But even so, Jia Yu was still a little worried and said: "Your Highness, according to the news from the Jinyiwei, there should be about 80,000 people from Jin State coming here to join the Qin army!
Moreover, their great general Xian Zhen is a tough man who is strict in military discipline and has good command. Don't be careless with him."
To become a general, one must have some extraordinary qualities.
Chu Ning certainly understood this, and he could not help but put away his contempt, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I have a 70% chance of winning this battle!"
After a pause, he suddenly looked up and looked out the window, and whispered, "The Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also coming here in person with her troops. Judging from the time, she should be here in the next few days."
After hearing this, Jia Yu finally understood why Chu Ning wanted to rest here.
On the one hand, he was recovering his body, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the arrival of the Queen of the Great Zhou.
The Queen of Zhou coming here in person this time will surely boost the morale of the Zhou army and also encourage the morale of the Chu army.
This is enough to increase the chances of winning!
However, they cannot ignore the Jin army.
"Since Your Highness has a chance of winning, then regarding the business between our dynasty and the State of Jin..."
"Stop everything!"
Chu Ning sneered and said, "I want to see how the newly appointed Emperor of Jin will deal with the pressure within Jin."
The Jin nobles would never agree to lose the facial mask business.
Even if Ji Yingjie now controls the military power, how can he let so many powerful people lose their masks?
It’s okay for a short time, these people still have some stock.
But once time goes by and the facial masks are used up, these people will definitely oppose Ji Yingjie!
Jia Yu was not surprised by this. He had even thought of a way to cause civil unrest in Jin.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Jia Yu narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes: "Since Jin State is so ungrateful, let's teach them a lesson!"
"I will order the Royal Guards to spread the news that the former emperor of Jin was killed by Ji Yingjie, and let Ji Yingjie worry about it himself."
If the State of Jin does not let them live an easy life, they will not let the State of Jin live an easy life.
Especially since Ji Yingjie turned against them as soon as he ascended the throne, there was naturally no need for them to save face for him.
Chu Ning deeply agreed with this: "I will leave this matter to Lord Jia. In addition, the Queen of the Great Zhou will be here in a few days. You need to arrange people to welcome her outside the city. Don't neglect it."
"Yes!" Jia Yu responded, and immediately bowed and left.
inside the house.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating Chu Ning's face which was surrounded by gloom, and a cough sounded here.
He didn't dare to expose his physical condition in front of Jia Yu.
The last time he used force to kill Wang Jian, the toxins in his body erupted. Although he was holding on with his strong body, this was definitely not a long-term solution.
"Cough cough..."
Chu Ning wiped his mouth with his right hand, and a mouthful of black blood appeared in the palm of his hand.
"The Fiery Sun Grass must be obtained as soon as possible!"
If this goes on any longer, his health will collapse sooner or later.
Although the genius doctor Sun Simiao said that it could last for half a year, because he used force in the middle, causing the poison to erupt, he estimated that he could only hold out for three months at most!
He must obtain the main ingredient, Fiery Sun Grass, within three months.
Therefore, the Qin State must be destroyed within three months.
"Ying Zheng, just wait. I will avenge Princess Changping!"
Thinking of the late Princess Changping, Chu Ning's face showed a rare tenderness.
This time, the troops were sent to Qin State not only for the Lieyang Grass, but also to avenge Princess Changping.
He not only wanted to kill Ying Zheng, but also wanted to kill the person who made the poison for Ying Zheng.
After experiencing the control of Princess Changping and his own poisoning, he knew that there must be someone around Chu Ning who specialized in making poisons.
If he can destroy the Qin State this time, he must find this person and cut him into pieces!
Of course, before that, he still needed to welcome the arrival of the Queen of the Great Zhou and discuss the upcoming decisive battle of Julu.
This decisive battle will determine the success or failure of the three dynasties. If we lose, everything will be gone.
Only if he wins this battle can he conquer the State of Qin, kill Ying Zheng, and avenge Princess Changping!
