Chapter 957: No Choice

Emperor Chu looked at Tang Ning, with a look of appreciation on his face, and said, "I didn't expect you to have such foresight......

Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "...... the prize"

……

Emperor Chu finally decided to send an army of 100,000 to support Wanyan.

Historical experience shows that Chen Chu's greatest enemy is not the Western Regions or Western Tibet, and their greatest enemy is in the grassland.

Their enemies are the once prudent people, and now the black barbarians.

Of course, the Prudence had now agreed with them, and the Black Barbarians had become their common enemy.

At the same time that the State of Chu announced the reinforcements, Tang Ning also ordered Xiao Wan to also send an army of 100,000 troops to support the Wanyan Department in the east and west of the State of Chu.

The Western Regions and the State of Chu are bordered by a large area of the grassland, but the State of Chen is safer, although the growth of the black barbarians is also not a good thing for the State of Chen, but the threat is smaller in the end, Tang Ning does not expect Emperor Chen to send troops at this time, he is afraid that he will stare at Xiao Wan to death.

And although Tang Ning also wanted to give Wan Yan Yan the biggest reinforcement, 100,000 people was already Xiao Wan's limit.

Once too many troops are withdrawn, causing their own emptiness, maybe Chen Guoguo will take advantage of the weakness to enter, although the Western Regions is not their home field, but it will still bring trouble to Xiao Wan now.

In addition, after Tang Ning thought about it, he felt that since the agreement with the little brute girl was only one year left, but who knew what would happen after a year, instead of waiting for her to send troops to Chen Guo, it was better to take this opportunity to go to the grassland first and stabilize her for a while.

Chu already had hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the frontier, and this time the 100,000 reinforcements were led by the eldest princess Li Tianlan.

Tang Ning set off with her, and half a month later, he separated from her in the border army, followed a team, and went to Wanyan to discuss the war first.

Thinking of the meaningful look on her face when she was leaving, Tang Ning felt a little weak in her heart, but it had reached this point, and she could only pretend not to see it.

Xiaoxiao felt bored to stay alone in Kyoto, so he came over with Tang Ning, and Lao Zheng and the old beggar naturally followed him.

Li Tianlan was there, maybe because she was in distress in the grassland last time, and the old woman who sold noodles also followed.

In this case, Tang Ning naturally had some other thoughts in his heart.

With the deterrence of these two nuclear weapons, and then let the two of them join forces and adopt decapitation tactics, they may be able to minimize the losses, even if the black barbarians are determined to destroy the Su Shen people, on the frontal battlefield, they still have Lao Zheng.

In the first battle in the Western Regions, Tang Ning really saw Lao Zheng's use of soldiers like a god, he was a natural general, and the battlefield was his destination.

At the same time that Chu State and Xiaowan were reinforcing the grassland, Wanyan's request for help also reached Chen State.

After some discussion by the monarch and ministers, Chen Guo rejected Wanyan's request for reinforcements.

Their reason is also very legitimate, most of the troops of the Chen State are deployed in the state capital close to the Western Regions, used to defend against Xiao Wan, who will invade the Chen State at any time, and it is really impossible to divide the troops.

This reason seems to be legitimate, but when you look closely, there are loopholes everywhere.

Chen Guo deployed more than 400,000 troops on the border to defend Xiaowan, even if there were 100,000 less, it would not have much impact on the overall situation.

Moreover, this time Xiao Wan also sent 100,000 troops to reinforce, as a friendly country, Chen Guo's performance was not as good as Xiao Wan, which seemed extremely unrighteous.

The people talked about it, but at this time, in the palace, Emperor Chen's face was ugly.

The reason for his gloomy face was not because of the unification of the black barbarians, nor because of Wanyan's request for help, but because Xiao Wan of the Western Regions asked for marriage from Chu State, and Chu State actually agreed.

Xiao Wan is Chen Guo's enemy, Chu Guo is Chen Guo's friend, the enemy actually hooked up with a friend, have they considered Chen Guo's feelings?

When Chen Guo asked for a kiss to Chu State, the reason given by Chu State was that the princess of Chu State did not associate with foreign countries, but what was this?

Emperor Chen slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "What do they mean!" ”

Wei Jian pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Chu Guo agreed to Xiao Wan's courtship, and on the surface, this matter seems to have nothing to do with Chen Guo, but the information revealed in it is too amazing.

It's not that the Chu State doesn't know the relationship between the Western Regions and the Chen State, but still agreed to Xiao Wan's courtship, does this mean that they have left the Chen State behind and formed some kind of alliance?

Although Xiao Wan has been very quiet in the past six months, if Xiao Wan attacks Chen Guo in the future, will Chu Guo be a cold bystander, or will he work with Xiao Wan to find trouble with Chen Guo?

It is not easy to deal with Xiao Wan, Chen Guo is already very difficult, if you add a Chu State that is comparable to them in terms of national strength, one east and one west, within a year, Chen State will be carved up by them.

At a certain moment, Emperor Chen took a deep breath and said, "Summoning Lu Ding into the palace." ”

The military department was not far from the palace, but in two quarters of an hour, Lu Ding appeared in front of Emperor Chen.

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked straight to the point: "Xiao Wan sent an army of 100,000 to reinforce the grassland, if we attack the Western Regions at this time, what are the chances of victory?" ”

Lu Ding's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, this must not be!" ”

Chen Huang glanced at him coldly and asked, "I think this is a rare opportunity for us, why can't you say it?" ”

Lu Ding said: "Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Wan was able to deal with our army for a long time before unifying the Western Regions, and now they have unified the Western Regions, even if they send 100,000 people, their strength is more than twice as strong as before, and rashly attacking will be very disadvantageous to our army......

He paused, and said again: "Besides, Xiao Wan sent troops this time to support the Wanyan Ministry, if we let the Wanyan Ministry know that we take advantage of Xiao Wan at this time, I am afraid that all the achievements made by Tang Xiang in the northwest a few years ago will be in vain, and at that time, we will have to face the great enemy in the Western Regions and the grassland at the same time again......

Chen Huang took a deep breath and slowly sat back in his place.

He was also carried away by anger just now, not realizing that once Chen Guo fell into the well at this time, he had become a cautious person from a friendly country, and he would immediately turn against them.

At that time, Chen Guo will once again have a strong foreign enemy.

Most likely there is more than one.

The state of Chu now has an ambiguous relationship with the Western Regions, and this time it also sent troops to reinforce the grassland, if the state of Chen made a move against their friendly forces at this time, wouldn't it be even the state of Chu to be offended?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chen's face became even more ugly, because he suddenly realized that he didn't know when Chen Guo's situation had become so bad.

Xiao Wan, the former great enemy, unified the Western Regions and became more powerful.

The former friendly state of Chu has an ambiguous relationship with their great enemy, and its attitude towards Chen is unknown......

Today's friendly Su Shen clan has also hooked up with Xiao Wan, if Chen Guo does not send troops to reinforce, I am afraid that after this incident, it will be isolated by the Three Kingdoms immediately.

In this case, apart from sending reinforcements, indicating that Chen Guo was on the same front as them, there was no second option at all.

At this time, Lu Ding looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should not refuse the envoy of the grassland......"

Emperor Chen's face showed a strong look of unwillingness, and finally he waved his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Xuancao's envoy came to see ......."
