Chapter 1304 Working Overtime and Thinking of Countermeasures
Chapter 1304 Working overtime to think of countermeasures
Li Chen's anger is not unreasonable.
This sudden accident was completely beyond his control, which caught him off guard.
But unfortunately, this matter must be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if Prince Ning really rebels, then Crescent Pass will be in danger.
What Li Chen wanted was to take the initiative to let the Liao army in, rather than being forced in by the Liao army when he was not prepared.
What's more, in that situation, there is a high probability that King Ning will be in cahoots with the Liao army. What the court needs to face is the 600,000 Liao army cavalry plus King Ning's sixteen Yanyun cavalry. With King Ning's strength, he can win
Sending out 400,000 troops won't be a big problem.
Then, what was pressing in front of the imperial court was to break through the Crescent Pass and face the millions of enemy troops in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Faced with such a situation, Li Chen didn't even have to think about the Jin Army's 300,000 troops. Huang Jitian would definitely give the order immediately and turn around and leave.
Precisely because of the joining of King Ning, as the vassal king of the Qin Empire, he had an orthodox status and could establish another political power, a political power supported by the Liao Kingdom.
Even if this regime is superficial, as long as it exists, the great righteousness of the Central Plains will be gone.
Li Chen's previous threat that the Central Plains country could be destroyed, but the nation would not be destroyed, and that all the people would become soldiers, became a dead letter.
As a result, the imperial court was inevitably forced to fight alone.
There is no faster way to commit suicide than this.
Looking at Zhao Xuanji, Li Chen said in a deep voice: "Provincial Order, this matter is a matter of great right and wrong at the moment. There is no reason why the eggs will not be intact after the nest is overturned. The provincial order does not need this palace's reminder, right?"
This was Li Chen's warning to Zhao Xuanji. In this situation where the whole boat was about to capsize, he asked him to put away those thoughts that he shouldn't have, otherwise the boat would capsize and everyone on board would drown.
The imperial court is over, which will do no good to Zhao Xuanji.
The most important thing is that Prince Ning exists here.
Even for the Liao Kingdom, is King Ning or Zhao Xuanji more useful?
This is not a question worth thinking about at all.
The Liao Kingdom would definitely choose King Ning and kill Zhao Xuanji without any hesitation.
The Liao army can invade, but it must come with his help. The Liao army must only have his own collaborator in Da Qin, otherwise, his end will be worse than Li Chen.
Zhao Xuanji understands this truth.
So for the first time, Zhao Xuanji completely put aside his past resentment and bowed to Li Chen in a polite manner: "Old minister, I understand."
Li Chen nodded and said, "Then I'll ask you two to brainstorm and come up with a proper solution."
Zhao Xuanji and Su Zhenting both felt Li Chen's determination, and they put aside their resentment and began to seriously discuss countermeasures.
And while the East Palace was brightly lit with candles, and the three people who stood at the pinnacle of power in the Great Qin Empire were working overtime to discuss countermeasures, far away in Prince Ning's fiefdom, there was a rumbling wind.
There are teams of soldiers patrolling and searching the streets, official roads, and even the barren mountains and ridges that are usually inaccessible. They will not let go of any buildings that may be hiding people, and they will dig deep into the ground.
This search has lasted for a day and a night.
Many people have already received news about the fire that broke out in King Ning's warehouse and the stuff that was thrown into the sky was exposed.
Everyone is extremely curious about this, and everyone is silent about it.
No one dares to joke about this matter at this juncture.
The soldiers under King Ning were searching for none other than the two brothers Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou.
