"It's very windy and rainy outside, and His Highness is soaked to the skin. It can be seen that this journey has not been easy."
Zhao Xuanji looked at Li Chen calmly, his tone was gentle, and his face seemed kind-hearted.
"Who can walk easily in such a heavy storm?"
Li Chen closed the palace door with his backhand. The wind and rain were immediately blocked, and the silence and warmth returned to the hall.
"If you just live in a corner and seek your own safety, wouldn't it be peaceful if you close the door like this?"
Zhao Xuanji said: "Shan, what His Highness said is absolutely true."
He strode into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, stood under the imperial steps, and looked up at the dragon chair in front of him. Li Chen said to Zhao Xuanji beside him: "This chair is very tempting, isn't it?"
Zhao Xuanji also looked at the dragon chair together with Li Chen.
He did not answer Li Chen's words, but said: "Your Highness, retreat."
Li Chen chuckled lightly, without moving his eyes or saying anything.
"Old minister, please keep your highness safe for life. Your highness can trust my promise."
Li Chen nodded and said, "It sounds very sincere."
"But just a promise of immortality can make me retreat?"
Zhao Xuanji said expressionlessly: "I already know about the Crescent Pass."
"But that's not the problem."
"The grain, grass and military pay that His Highness sent to the Crescent Pass may never reach the Crescent Pass."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He asked the Wu brothers to pacify Yueyang Pass, and they must provide logistical support.
So he secretly sent people to send a large amount of food, grass and military pay in order to help the Wu brothers quickly stabilize the morale of the army. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that the Liao army could not open the door without the internal response, but still made a desperate effort to break through. Once that happened
situation, then Yueyangguan will inevitably fall into a hard battle.
As we all know, war is a waste of money.
It is absolutely impossible to have no money.
Therefore, Li Chen's support is huge.
But now, he has been cut off.
"The situation in the Liao Kingdom is changing, and the old emperor will most likely not be able to survive this winter. Therefore, the succession of the throne will be the most important thing for the upper echelons of the Liao Kingdom. Yelu Shenxuan will not leave without receiving a huge military merit, but
Time waits for no one. These 600,000 troops have been gathering for more than two months. If he withdraws his troops right now, it will cause a devastating blow to his prestige."
"so."
Zhao Xuanji ignored Li Chen's inner thoughts and turned to look at Li Chen and continued: "The Liao army will definitely attack Da Qin, for sure."
With a chuckle, Zhao Xuanji seemed like a teacher who was reviewing and explaining the test papers to the students. He followed the instructions carefully, peeled off the cocoon, and changed the subject, saying: "Your Highness can let Hu Shifan come over, and the Liaodong Army blocks Dongshan Province from entering.
The only access route in the Gyeonggi region is indeed a clever move."
"But Your Highness, your foundation is too weak."
"It's all planned. You have been in charge of the country for less than two years, and the second winter has not yet come. Even in the center, you have initially taken power, but there is more than one capital in the country of Qin."
"Two capitals, the Thirteenth Announcement of Political Envoys, the Seven Guards of Guanxi, the Military and Civilian Marshal's Mansion of Orisi, and the Onan River Guards."
"How many of these eighteen administrative divisions can your Highness master? They are no more than Gyeonggi, Xishan, Nanhe and half of Liaodong."
"In other areas, veterans can control one-third, the other one-third is in the hands of the major vassal kings, and the remaining one-third only obeys the imperial power."
"His Royal Highness is the crown prince, so he is naturally a very human minister, but in the final analysis, the prince is still a human minister, and only the emperor is the king."
