The current national strength of Da Qin is absolutely unable to support a high-intensity and protracted war.
As long as the war reaches a stalemate, the Qin Empire itself will collapse without the Liao army doing anything.
Therefore, Li Chen's idea was to accumulate all his strength and defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop. He would beat them until their muscles and bones were broken. He would definitely not have the strength to launch a second war within five or even ten years.
Only in this way can the Great Qin Empire get a chance to recuperate.
Huang Jitian is the prince of the Kingdom of Jin, and he is also an ambitious prince.
So to a large extent, his perspective on things is the same as Li Chen's.
Therefore, Huang Jitian felt that Li Chen's plan was very risky.
But I have to say, it was a worthwhile adventure.
Unless the Liao army is willing to retreat on its own.
In this way, the Qin Empire would not have to take such a big risk to make this huge gamble.
But obviously, this is impossible.
With a solemn expression, Huang Jitian said: "I will urge them to speed up their march. Leave this matter to me."
Li Chen was very satisfied with this answer.
He looked at Huang Jitian and asked: "Your father sent a Suo Antu over. This is a big stick, but according to common sense, there should be a red date along with the big stick?"
If it was just a matter of negotiation, Huang Jitian had a good negotiation with him before, and the two countries had indeed begun to cooperate now, so the Emperor of Jin had no reason to send another minister here.
What's more, this is a close minister who belongs to the eldest brother.
The Emperor of Jin had no reason not to consider that doing so would make Huang Jitian very dissatisfied.
So Li Chen was sure that Huang Jitian must have received some kind of benefit.
Combined with Huang Jitian's immediate promise to urge the 300,000 troops to advance as quickly as possible, and his guarantee, Li Chen felt that he already knew what that red date was.
Huang Jitian was also a very smart person and he reacted immediately.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You still tricked me."
"Yes, my father gave me the command of this 300,000-strong army."
Li Chen's eyes lit up and he said happily: "In exchange for the command of an army of 300,000 people, not to mention a Suo Antu, even if the eldest brother personally comes to guard your side, it is worth it."
Huang Jitian smiled. Although he tried hard to be more calm, the radiant look in his eyes still revealed his true inner thoughts.
Isn't the command of these 300,000 troops the reward he brought to Huang Jitian after he bet on Li Chen and Li Chen won the rebellion in the capital?
After Li Chen's entire handling of this rebellion was reported back to China, he won great praise from the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, which further laid the foundation for cooperation between Da Qin and the Jin Kingdom.
The most intuitive benefit these things brought to Huang Jitian was that it made the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom trust Huang Jitian's abilities more.
So, in exchange for the command of the 300,000 troops.
For Huangjitian, this is a great thing that falls from the sky.
Not only did he successfully win more attention from the emperor and the admiration of some ministers in the high-level circles of the Jin Kingdom, but more importantly, it gave Huang Jitian the opportunity to intervene in military affairs openly.
This is a dream for any ambitious prince.
Thinking of this, Huang Jitian suddenly said: "Your Highness, what Suo Antuti said before is not unreasonable. The two armies are cooperating and each belongs to a different country. So how to decide on the battlefield command?"
