Chapter 4

"Princess Ningyu, it seems that I, the Tang Dynasty, won today's competition!" Emperor Tang said slowly.

Chu Ningyu bit her teeth lightly, feeling unwilling to do so. She glanced at the Da Chu envoy, but saw that no one in the Da Chu envoy dared to look at her.

Seeing this, Chu Ningyu knew that it would be impossible for Chu to take Yangzhou City of the Tang Dynasty without spending a single soldier this time.

After a pause, Chu Ningyu said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect His Highness Tang Yu to be so talented and beautiful, but he kept it hidden! Emperor Tang, I admit that our great Chu lost today's competition!"

"Very good!"

Hearing that Chu Ningyu personally admitted that she had lost the fight, all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace were overjoyed.

After all, Yangzhou City was the border fortress of the Tang Dynasty. If Yangzhou City was lost and the Chu army invaded, they could march straight in and attack the capital.

Suddenly, Chu Ningyu sneered: "Emperor Tang, your Great Tang only won a small victory, which is not worth mentioning. May I ask if Emperor Tang dares to play a big game with me, Great Chu?"

"Oh? Play a big one?" Tang Huang looked surprised.

"Yes! Play a big one!"

Chu Ningyu solemnly said: "Three days later, our two countries will have another duel! If we, the Great Chu, lose, we will return the Jingzhou City that you lost three years ago. If we, the Great Chu, win, you, the Tang Dynasty, will not only have to

If you cede the city of Yangzhou to us, what do we, the Chu, want from you, the city of Yuzhou in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, you must never agree!"

When Chu Ningyu finished speaking, Prime Minister Meng Shize spoke in panic.

"Father, you must never agree to this!"

Immediately afterwards, the eldest prince Tang Long and the third prince Tang Shuheng all stood up.

Tang Yu learned through his memory that among the seven kingdoms in the world, only Da Chu had constant disputes with the Tang Dynasty. Da Chu had the ambition to unify the seven kingdoms, because the Tang Dynasty was the weakest, and Da Chu wanted to take the lead in conquering the Tang Dynasty.

Three years ago, the Chu army invaded, and the Tang Dynasty mobilized the whole country to fight against it. In the end, the first line of defense, Jingzhou City, was lost.

There were three lines of defense in the Tang Dynasty. The first line of defense was Jingzhou City, the second line of defense was Yangzhou City, and the third line of defense was Yuzhou City.

Now that the first line of defense of the Tang Dynasty has been lost, if the Tang Dynasty loses Yangzhou City and Yuzhou City again, it will only be a matter of time before the Chu Dynasty can capture the Tang Dynasty.

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy expression, showing no anger or authority. He did not know the ambitions of the Chu Empire.

"Yu'er, what do you think about this matter?" Tang Huang looked at Tang Yu.

Although he had never liked this son, Tang Yu's skills shocked everyone today and suppressed Da Chu's arrogance. Emperor Tang was very impressed with Tang Yu.

Tang Yu smiled jokingly: "Reporting to the Emperor Father, let the child play as he pleases. Why should I, the Tang Dynasty, be afraid of it?"

He understood that if the Chu Empire wanted to unify the world, the first step would be to pick on the weaklings. Even if the Tang Dynasty did not accept Chu Ningyu’s proposal, the Chu Empire would soon find an excuse to continue to invade the Tang Dynasty. The two countries

It's only a matter of time before war begins.

Moreover, three years ago, the Chu invaded the Tang Dynasty and lost the first line of defense, Jingzhou City, which became a joke to the whole world. The Emperor of Tang seemed to be calm, but in fact he was filled with anger.

The Tang Dynasty established the country with force, but was suppressed by the Chu Dynasty for many years. It must be a lie if the Tang Emperor did not want to fight back hard against the Chu Dynasty.

As far as Tang Yu knew, he was a cheap old man with a thunderous heart but a calm face. The reason why Emperor Tang asked him for his opinion was mainly because he was afraid of opposition from the ministers. Now he was just looking for an excuse to fight with Da Chu head-on.

, so Tang Yu took advantage of Emperor Tang's intention and continued.

"Third brother, you are confused!"

The eldest prince Tang Long shouted with a dark face: "Did you know that Da Chu has millions of elite soldiers and generals? When Da Chu invaded, it only mobilized an army of 300,000 and defeated the Tang Dynasty's 500,000 elites! Although you were lucky enough to win today.

Da Chu, but if we lose next, Datang will not only lose the last two lines of defense, but the entire foundation of Datang!"

"Third brother, we, the Tang Dynasty, are no match for the Chu Dynasty. Please retreat!" The third prince, Tang Shuheng, also shouted.

Tang Yu knew that the eldest prince Tang Long and the third prince Tang Shuheng, Wu and Wen, controlled the government and were his mortal enemies. If he wanted to ascend the throne and take power in the future, the first thing he would do was to eradicate them.

The next moment, Tang Yu sneered: "Two royal brothers, our Tang Dynasty has always been martial. We are not cowering. The opponent has drawn his sword. Why don't you dare to show your sword? Father, in my opinion, life and death are indifferent. If you don't accept it, just do it."

Dry!"

"It's nonsense, Father, Ninth Brother, it's nonsense!"

Tang Long and Tang Shuheng's expressions changed drastically, and they all looked at Tang Yu with anger in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is too reckless. If the battle fails, countless people of our Tang Dynasty will be plunged into dire straits again!"

Under the leadership of Tang Long and Tang Shuheng, all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace shouted out that Da Chu was too strong and they did not dare to have a head-on conflict with Da Chu.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Emperor Tang's face turned completely dark.

"Am I kidding? Humph! I think you are just a bunch of timid rats!"

Tang Yu sneered, and a violent aura erupted from his body. He stared at everyone and said with bright eyes: "Can't you see that Da Chu is bound to seize my territory from the Tang Dynasty? The so-called competition is just an excuse for invasion!

Even if Da Chu does not agree to the showdown in three days, is it possible that Da Chu will not lead troops to invade in the future?"

"Although we, the Tang Dynasty, are the weakest among the Seven Kingdoms, we, the Tang Dynasty, are not soft persimmons! Even if we, the Tang Dynasty, want to destroy the country, I believe that countless people of our Tang Dynasty will die on the way to charge. Not only do we know

Blindly trying to compromise!"

"Father, my son, please fight!!!"

When Tang Yu's words were spoken sonorously and forcefully, all the civil and military officials were shocked. They did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince, who had always only known how to live in debauchery, could be so strong-willed.

The expressions of the eldest prince Tang Long and the third prince Tang Shuheng changed. It was obvious that Tang Yu at this moment had subverted their understanding.

"Okay! Well said!"

After listening to Tang Yu's impassioned speech, Emperor Tang stood up and said: "Yu'er, you are right, even if you fail, you must let Da Chu see the character of our Tang Dynasty! Princess Ningyu, as long as you can represent Da Chu

Chu wills, I accept the challenge!"

"Okay, Emperor Tang, in three days we will see who is stronger and who is weaker!" Chu Ningyu's face was full of contempt.

"etc!"

Suddenly, Tang Yu walked out.

Chu Ningyu looked playful: "Your Highness Tang Yu, what else do you have to do?"

"Princess Ningyu, although your country of Chu is powerful, if you win, you will want two of our cities, but if we win, you will return one of our cities. Isn't this somewhat inappropriate?" Tang Yu said with a smile.

Chu Ningyu sneered: "Not appropriate? I wonder what His Highness Tang Yu has in mind?"

"What do you think? Hehe"

Tang Yu came to Chu Ningyu and slapped his right hand on Chu Ningyu's plump buttocks.

"you"

As the most beloved princess of Emperor Chu, she was taken advantage of by Tang Yu unexpectedly. Chu Ningyu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.
