matter how much the princes were neglected, they were still princes. In the future, they would be enfeoffed as kings, definitely not someone these palace maids could afford to offend.Li Yinhu said wi...Chapter 1477: Briefing

It was clear to everyone that Li Chen was being so serious because he had something important to say.

Wu Bān Shān and Wu Qīng Cāng exchanged glances, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.

They realized that this was the first time since His Royal Highness arrived at Yueya Pass that he had spoken to them simultaneously, and he must have something very important to say.

This matter is likely so significant that they are completely out of their depth to intervene.

Soon, the Zhou Changshou brothers entered the council chamber together.

They stepped in, and Xu Wei outside immediately shut the door behind them.

A creaking sound of the door closing was followed by Xu Wei's scolding and orders from outside.

Xu Wei used monks and Jinyiwei, he didn't even use soldiers from Yueya Pass.

This detail made Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan, the brothers, feel uneasy.

The hall doors were closed, and Li Chen also put down the teacup in his hand. But instead of getting straight to business, he said to Zhou Changshou: "Changshou, what I'm about to say is a matter of great importance to the country. If we are not careful, not only will you lose your lives, but I myself will be doomed. Tell me, can I trust you"

Zhou Changshou, still clad in mourning robes and wearing the white cap of filial piety, raised his head. There was no excessive expression on his face as he spoke calmly: "My heart is dead, like a walking corpse. The only thing that sustains me is the wish I made back then."

No direct answer, but it is already the best answer.

Li Chen nodded and said, "Good."

After that, Li Chen closed his eyes slightly and said, "You all already know about the 300,000 Jin army."

Wu Qingcang and the other three remained silent, waiting for Li Chen to continue.

As expected, Li Chen continued, "I invited them here precisely to deal with the Liao army. All those threats aimed at the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun were merely a show of force to save face. I will not allow the Jin army to fight against Da Qin's soldiers, regardless of whether they obey my orders. Furthermore, the Jin army will not interfere in Da Qin's internal affairs because their commander, before their deployment, received an order from the Jin Emperor to focus solely on combating the Liao army."

The statement was not unexpected.

So Wu Qingscang and the other three remained silent.

Li Chen said again, "Therefore, whether it's King Ning or the Sixteen Cavalry of Yan Yun, they are all just trivial matters. We cannot lose sight of the forest for the trees. We must realize that the real enemy has always been only the Liao army."

But even with the addition of 300,000 gold troops, we may not have a guarantee of complete success.

"Six hundred thousand Liao troops, a full six hundred thousand!"

"Still the most elite sixty million iron cavalry of the Liaoguo! That's a true flood!"

Li Chen opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I underestimated this power. That's not confidence, but arrogance, conceit, and ignorance. It's a path to self-destruction! Therefore, all of us should be like a thorn in our backs, with a sword hanging over our heads!"

"This palace doesn't have enough time to slowly wear down the Liao army. A prolonged war of attrition is something this palace, Da Qin, and even the Liao state can't afford. Therefore, from the very beginning, this war was destined to reach a decisive battle very early on."

"I wake up suddenly and say in an unquestionable tone, "Therefore, the palace and Jin have already agreed. This battle must be fought, and it must be won. If we want to win, we must use surprise tactics. Ordinary methods are impossible to achieve a decisive victory in a short time!""

Speaking of this, Li Chen looked at Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan, and said in a deep voice: "For this, this palace is willing to pay the price with Yueya Pass!"ion, two others were thrown directly out of the windows and landed in a pile of rubble, motionless.Yelü Shenxuan widened his eyes.His first reaction was that Li Chen wanted to kill him to silence him....
