Li Chen said he agreed, but his face was clearly full of rejection.
"If the troops from other provinces can be mobilized, why didn't I do so before?"
"At this moment, there are millions of troops garrisoned in the capital, ready for use at any time. Do you think it is faster for King Ning to rebel, or for the army to rush for reinforcements?"
Li Chen's words made Wu Bishan smile bitterly.
How could he not know this truth?
It's just that the current situation doesn't allow for so much consideration.
Doing something is better than doing nothing.
"The local army must not move."
Li Chen said meaningfully: "The crisis at Yueyangguan and the crisis in this palace are apparent, but the hidden dangers across the country are no smaller than the apparent crisis you and I are facing right now. A game of chess across the country will affect everything."
If your whole body is affected by one move, there are some risks that must be taken."
"Then Your Highness, are we just going to sit back and wait for death? This is too passive. I'm afraid that Prince Ning will become greedy and swallow the elephant."
"People's hearts are apart from each other, and the situation is changing rapidly. At present, it seems that the majority is against His Highness. Prince Ning may have resorted to the rat weapon before, but facing the biggest variable of the 600,000 Liao army cavalry outside the pass, there is no guarantee that Prince Ning will not take risks."
Wu Banshan's words made Li Chen nod his head, and he said: "What you said makes sense, so I... have already arranged the back-up plan."
Li Chen is not a fool.
If he didn't have a trump card, a trump card that could hold the table and prevent King Ning from overturning the table, he would be crazy to bully Yanyun Liuqi like this.
And his trump card is the Golden Army!
The 300,000 Jin army has already entered the territory of Da Qin and is moving towards the Crescent Pass at high speed.
Therefore, in Li Chen's view, the biggest variable in the entire situation is not the 600,000 Liao cavalry outside the pass, but the 300,000 Jin army.
If this card is played well, Li Chen can harvest the chips of all players in this game. In other words, it is called a take-all.
Seeing that Li Chen didn't say what the backhand was, Wu Bishan wisely stopped asking.
He just needs to express all his worries. How to make decisions is Li Chen's business and he can't control it.
The group returned to Crescent Pass. At this time, Wu Qingcang had retreated from the front line and was recovering from his injuries.
"Wu Shuai is injured?"
Li Chen entered the palace and saw Wu Qingcang shirtless and a military doctor cleaning the wound on his shoulder, so he asked.
Wu Qingcang immediately stood up and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Li Chen and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's just a minor injury."
Looking at the old and new scars crisscrossing Wu Qingcang's upper body, with almost no intact skin left, Li Chen felt something in his heart and said: "The country and the country were all scarred by warriors like Wu Shuai."
Compared with Li Songru and others, Li Chen felt that brother Wu Qingcang was the real military model.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingcang immediately said: "Your Highness's award is not due to the merits of the last general, but to the merits of thousands of inconspicuous soldiers who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives. One general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither, and the last general will invite heaven."
I am lucky to be in the position I am today, but I dare not forget that behind me, there are the sacrifices of countless brothers."
Li Chen nodded silently and asked, "How is the battle going today?"
Wu Qingcang frowned and said, "It's very strange. The Liao army has retreated."
"According to usual habits, the Liao army would have to attack for at least two hours before retreating, but today's retreat was extremely early, and it was a complete retreat. It seems that they don't plan to take action again in a short time, but it also seems..."
Before Wu Qingcang finished speaking, Wu Bishan helped to add, and said in a deep voice: "It's like recuperating before the decisive battle."
