ls! Xu Jiuan, this palace will peel your entire family alive if I don't get my revenge!"Xu Jiu'an's face turned pale, and he exclaimed in panic: "Your Highness is indeed wise!"“My minister's weight is...Chapter 1479: The War You See, I See Politics

"Wu Shuai also thinks that this palace is very fond of taking credit, doesn't he" Li Chen asked.

Wu Qingcang smiled wryly.

He thought much more than Wu Bonian.

At the very least, he now understood that today's incident was Li Chen informing himself and his brother, and asking them to cooperate in carrying out the entire plan.

With over 100,000 soldiers at the gates of Yueya, it was impossible for the Prince to persuade them one by one. Therefore, this matter had to be handled by the two brothers themselves.

Even taking the fall when necessary.

No matter what, Li Chen had already made the decision. It was an announcement, not a discussion.

The only difference is how well the two brothers cooperate with each other.

From Wu Qingcang's perspective, he didn't want to disobey Li Chen, but there were some things he had to say.

"Your Majesty's magnanimity and vision are truly admirable."

As always, let me start with a compliment. Wu Qingcang continued, "But this plan is too risky. I am willing to die, but if the plan fails, we will face the consequences of the country's collapse and the destruction of our great rivers and mountains by the Liao army's iron cavalry. Is such a risk worth taking"

"Actually, as long as we hold onto the Moonlit Pass, our subsequent military campaigns against Liao can be gradual and carefully planned."

"Your Highness is still so young, with plenty of time to wait. Why rush things"

Li Chen said calmly: "This palace can wait, but the court cannot."

"Many things, you on the front lines, are unaware of. The current domestic situation is precarious at best. You could say we're all sitting on a keg of gunpowder, and it could explode at any moment."

"Internal and external troubles, people's livelihood is declining. There are traitors within the court who are causing chaos. Local officials and powerful figures collude with each other. Moreover, vassal kings are eyeing the throne covetously. Not to mention the Liao Kingdom, even the Jin Kingdom, all of them harboring sinister intentions towards the great Qin Dynasty!"

"It's not that I, the Empress, am fond of showing off my accomplishments. The country simply cannot afford a protracted war at this time."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ban Shan and Wu Qing Cang hesitated to speak. Li Chen raised his hand and said, "This palace understands what you two mean. You want to say that the 600,000 iron cavalry of the Liao army besieging Yueya Pass are actually under a lot of pressure themselves. They are facing the imminent change of dynasties within their country, so these 600,000 iron cavalry cannot attack Yueya Pass indefinitely, is that not so"

Wu Qingcang and his brother nodded silently.

...it goes without saying that to anyone who understands the situation in Liaoning, this is simply how things are. ...

Li Chen let out a soft sigh and said solemnly, "Yelü Shenxuan is so eager to break through the Yueya Pass, it's because he wants to take this great victory back to the Jin Kingdom's Langting court to inherit the throne. If it's impossible, he can only retreat."

"But even if we manage to hold them off this time, what about next year The year after As long as the Liao army is willing, they can bring over tens of thousands of troops at any time to blockade the pass. Da Qin simply doesn't have the resources or the energy to keep up with them."

“For so many years, the Qin Empire has always been on the defensive. When enemies arrived, they would quickly set up their defenses and pray for the enemy to retreat. Everyone had become accustomed to this pattern, but no one ever considered why the Qin Empire couldn't take the initiative and attack. Over three hundred years ago, our mighty Qin army was unstoppable. Thirty thousand soldiers could conquer the entire Western Regions. Have you all forgotten these glories”

Li Chen's words hung in the air, silencing the council chamber. It was so quiet that a pin could have been heard dropping.in too!""And me too!"The sound of voices one after another expressing their willingness to join filled the Wuwang Prince with delight.And Zhao Tailai was also stunned by this sudden position as chairm...
