l also eventually be killed by the vassal kings.Now, Li Chen only needs to consider Duke Wen, the situation has improved greatly.It was precisely this aggressive move that caught Zhao Xuanji off guard...Chapter 1427: Aren't you afraid of death

Li Chen nodded and said, "You guessed right, that's exactly what he thinks. But since he's come, and brought the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry with him, it's better than not coming at all."

Wu Qingcang spoke, "While that may be true, I still have one worry."

Li Chen glanced at Wu Qingsang and said, "It's alright to speak."

Wu Qingcang lowered his voice and said, "The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun have a force of over 100,000. If they simply don't contribute their best efforts, that's fine. But what if they arrive at Yueya Pass not only unwilling to put in the effort but also demanding food and supplies By then, Yueya Pass would already be stretched thin, and having to feed 100,000 people on top of that… how could this possibly work"

"That's all right, after all, it's just a matter of food and fodder. With the support of Gansu and Shaanxi, although the grain and grass are tight, they shouldn't be unable to move around. But the key lies in these 100,000 Zhi Ning King, but unknown Your Highness's Yan Yun Sixteen Riders. If they have other thoughts, then it would be a real disaster."

Perhaps if the war goes well, there won't be any unnecessary thoughts. But if the war is unfavorable...

Wu Qingsang's words made Li Chen narrow his eyes slightly.

He just tried every means to bring the King Ning here, but he really didn't expect this.

Wu Qingcang did indeed remind him.

“I have this under control, you don't need to worry.” Li Chen comforted Wu Qingcang with a kind word, while thinking of a countermeasure in his mind. He kept moving forward, and the Moonlit Gate was now within easy reach.

"Let's head to the advanced city first, we can talk about the others later." Li Chen said to Wu Qingcang.

As they approached the city gate, Li Chen saw many wounded soldiers slumped by the roadside before they even had a chance to enter.

These wounded soldiers were covered in scars, blood, and wounds. Even though most of them were barely hanging on, no one came to their aid.

Li Chen frowned at the scene before him, stepped forward, and knelt down in front of a wounded soldier. "Brother," he asked, "who did this to you"

The wounded soldier's body was crisscrossed with seventeen or eighteen new and old wounds. His left hand was missing three fingers, but the most serious injury wasn't there. One of his ears was gone, and a small palm-sized gash on his scalp revealed the white skull beneath the dark, congealed blood due to lack of treatment.

This scene, just looking at it, is creepy.

...while Li Chen acted as if he hadn't seen it, even staring intently at the wounded soldier in front of him.

The wounded soldier lifted his eyelids weakly and glanced at Li Chen with barely a breath, whispering, "Local."

Li Chen nodded.

Most of the soldiers at Moonlit Pass are locals, and many of them have been serving for generations.

Their ancestors all had a blood feud with the Liao army.

This is nothing unusual at Yu'e Guan.

"You're hurt like this, and no one took care of you" Li Chen asked.

At this time, if even a single complaint was uttered by the wounded soldier, all the officers of Yueyaguan, including Wu Qingscang, would face Li Chen's wrath.

But the wounded man, with an air of matter-of-fact indifference, said: "I'm almost dead anyway. What good is a doctor and his herbs to me now"

"Why waste your time on those who are still fit for battle Go kill more of those Liao dogs for me instead!"

These words left Li Chen speechless.

He never would have imagined that the soldiers at Yueya Pass would look like this.

"But aren't you afraid of death" Li Chen couldn't help asking. small trinket would be a novel and precious treasure to their Liao people. Just gather some, give them silver along with it, and follow this process; I guarantee that even gold and iron could be soft...
