Chapter 1194 Bullying goes too far
Li Xing is determined to fight Zhou Jun to the death, and even wants to kill Chu Ning!
Under his arrangement, the Qin army camp was very lively that night.
Those who kill horses kill horses, those who cook soup cook soup, and those who cut meat cut meat.
As the horse meat was put into the pot, the aroma of the meat soon spread throughout the camp.
The Qin army, who had not had a full meal for a long time, immediately let go. Each of us held our growling stomachs and squatted in front of the big pot, waiting for the horse meat to come out of the pot.
The entire military camp was ablaze with bonfires, and the aroma of meat made the Qin soldiers swallow their saliva.
However, even though they were extremely hungry, they still followed the orders and did not dare to make any loud noise, for fear of the Zhou army outside the Kyoto camp.
But even so, the aroma of horse meat still drifted out of the camp and was noticed by the Zhou army patrolling outside the camp.
For this reason, the Zhou army spies immediately reported the matter.
The Zhou army’s main camp and the central army tent.
Chu Ning had taken off his armor, changed into casual clothes, and was resting in the camp.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu's low voice came from outside the camp: "Your Highness, the spies reported that there is something wrong with the Qin army!"
"Come in and talk."
Zhao Yu, who was allowed to do so, opened the curtain, walked slowly into the camp, and saluted: "Your Highness, there is a strong smell of meat coming from the Qin army camp."
Chu Ning stood up from the couch, yawned, and asked lazily, "Have you figured out the purpose of their doing this?"
Zhao Yu shook his head: "There is so much meat smell, I guess the Qin army must be slaughtering horses to satisfy their hunger."
"I think that maybe the Qin army didn't want to hand over the horses to our army, so they killed the horses before handing them over to avoid them becoming a burden to our army!"
Any normal person would think that the Qin army was killing horses at this moment because they did not want to hand over the war horses to the Zhou army.
Once so many war horses fell into the hands of the Zhou army, they would be able to form a cavalry in a short period of time.
This is not a good thing for the Qin State.
But Chu Ning shook his head slightly when he heard this and said with a smile: "No, the Qin army did this because they wanted to give it a try."
"After this battle, we will have a good meal so that we can have the strength to fight our army tomorrow."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yu's face changed drastically: "Could it be that the Qin army is unwilling to leave like this, and wants to fight to the death with our army?"
"But if our army doesn't set a trap here, their cavalry will be useless. What's the difference between them committing suicide by doing this?"
Li Xing is a general who has experienced many battles, so it is impossible for him not to know this.
But precisely because of this, Li Xing's current behavior made Zhao Yu feel confused.
It is obviously irrational to choose to fight to the death at this moment.
Chu Ning shrugged and said calmly, "It's unreasonable. Maybe he thinks we think they don't dare to do anything, so we won't take any precautions. He wants to catch us off guard."
"Pass the order down, order the entire army to prepare for battle tomorrow according to the formation drills of the past."
"Humph, if the Qin army dares to take action, let them stay here forever!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and turned to leave.
Although he was full of doubts, Zhao Yu did not dare to ask more questions. He chose to trust Chu Ning's judgment.
After all, having been with Chu Ning for so long, he was very clear about what to ask and what not to ask.
If Chu Ning wanted him to know, he would definitely tell him.
If you don't tell him, it means that now is not the time for him to know.
Chu Ning looked at Zhao Yu's departing back with an amused look on his face.
Li Xing's every move was within his expectations.
Li Xing thought about a comeback, or even taking his life, he knew it all.
Next, it depends on who has better skills.
Although the Qin army still has cavalry, the Zhou army also has cavalry!
Moreover, the Zhou army set up so many traps that the Qin army's cavalry could not play any role at all.
In this battle, he had the best of both worlds, and Li Xing had no chance of winning.
Once the Qin army takes action, he will have a reason to destroy the enemy.
What he fears most now is that the Qin army will not take action, and he will have no reason to take action.
After all, the peace talks were negotiated between Wu Zetian and the State of Qin. If he went back on his word, it would put Wu Zetian in an unjust position.
Only if the Qin army took the initiative would he have a reason to fight back.
"Li Xing, please don't let me down. I'm waiting for you to take action tomorrow!"
Chu Ning chuckled and turned back to his couch to rest.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for the East tomorrow.
Judging from the Qin army's posture of killing horses to satisfy their hunger tonight, they are probably going to take action!
By then, the Qin army would be destroyed.
Chu Ning is full of confidence in tomorrow's battle.
Nothing happened during the night, and time quickly came to the next day.
Wu Hao came to wait outside the central army tent early in the morning, and Chu Ning saw this man as soon as he lifted the curtain.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu!" Wu Hao bowed.
Chu Ning smiled slightly: "General Wu got up really early, maybe he didn't sleep well last night?"
Wu Hao said with a serious face: "This is such a big event that I dare not rest. Now it is the agreed time. Please ask the Crown Prince of Chu to order people to make way."
You are so impatient and really anxious.
Chu Ning smiled calmly: "No hurry, I want to meet with General Li Xing before leaving."
As he spoke, Zhao Yu brought over the war horse.
Chu Ning jumped on his horse and rode straight to the front of the battle.
Wu Hao had no choice but to get on his horse and catch up.
A group of people came to the front of the two armies.
At this moment, the Qin army had made all preparations, with the infantry in the front and behind them were densely packed troops that stretched as far as the eye could see.
At the front, a general led several other generals and were looking out.
Seeing Chu Ning and others riding towards him, Li Xing withdrew his gaze.
The two sides met and looked at each other. Li Xing then bowed and said calmly: "I guess this must be the famous Crown Prince of Chu!"
Chu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, nodded and said: "It is me, you are the defeated general Li Xing, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals behind Li Xing became furious and prepared to take action.
But Li Xing had a blank expression on his face. He stretched out his hand to stop them: "Stop, the Crown Prince of Chu is telling the truth. I was indeed defeated by him. There is nothing shameful about this!"
"General, he is going too far!" An indignant general said harshly.
But Li Xing glared at the man, scaring him so much that he dared not speak anymore.
Li Xing turned to look at Chu Ning and said calmly: "Defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is not daring to admit it."
"I lost this time, but that doesn't mean I will lose to you again in the future!"
"According to the agreement, you should let Zhou Jun make way now!"
This person has a good heart!
Chu Ning looked at Li Xing deeply and said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait until your compensation arrives!"
Wu Hao at the side said hurriedly: "The silver has been sent to the gate of the camp. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu can send someone to check it out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Huaide rode over to report: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Chu, the remaining two million taels of silver from the Qin army have arrived."
Chu Ning grinned, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Very good, come on, make way!"
