He immediately said: "In terms of military affairs, I am not as good as you two, so I would like to ask you two, how confident is this guess?"
Wu Qingcang replied: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Before getting accurate information, no one can say for sure what the enemy is thinking. Judging from the sudden and abnormal retreat of the Liao army, we cannot rule out that they have to prepare
The possibility of a decisive battle."
This is an understatement.
But Li Chen understood the meaning and said: "No matter what, it is always right to consider the worst case scenario and make more preparations."
"The two generals must be on high alert in case the Liao army makes a desperate move and launches an all-out decisive battle."
Brothers Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan clasped their fists at the same time and said: "I will obey your orders."
Li Chen asked again: "If the Liao army really starts a decisive battle in these days, how sure is it that the Crescent Pass can be defended?"
Wu Qingcang gritted his teeth and replied: "If this is the current situation, without considering the participation of the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun, there is no certainty."
Li Chen frowned and looked at Wu Qingcang with an unkind expression.
This answer made him very dissatisfied.
Wu Qingcang didn't seem to see the unhappy expression on Li Chen's face, and continued: "Your Highness, the general also wants to assure your highness that the Crescent Pass is foolproof, but it is useless for the general to have confidence. The war is fought with the right time.
The location and the people are harmonious.”
"Now that all three are not with me, even if the God of War is still alive, it will be difficult to survive in the face of such a huge disadvantage."
"The final certainty that the general can give to His Highness is that when people are imprisoned, they will be destroyed."
Wu Qingcang's determination was very clear and he would defend the Crescent Pass with his life.
With such a fighting spirit, no matter how harsh Li Chen is, he can't ask for more.
"You don't have to worry about money and food. Although the imperial court is weak, it can still support you in fighting a war without worries. The latest batch of support will arrive soon."
Upon hearing this, Wu Banshan's eyes lit up and he asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, how many are there?"
"Eight million taels worth of grain, ordnance, horses and other strategic materials are already on the way."
Li Chen did not hesitate and told them the good news he had just received from the capital.
"This money was raised by the imperial court by issuing national debts to the people and merchants all over the world. At least 10 million taels of supplies will arrive in the future. Even if it is a pile, it can build a mountain.
"
Li Chen said solemnly: "In terms of military matters, I can't give you much help. You are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and you don't need me, a layman, to tell you what to do. But I can give you no worries and let go.
Go and fight, leave all other arrangements to me!"
Brothers Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan looked happy.
When leading troops to fight, the most fearful thing is the suspicion of the monarch, and then having an outsider guide an expert, that can really kill people.
But instead of worrying about them at all, Li Chen went to great lengths to provide them with everything they needed so that they would have no worries.
Wu Qingcang said in a deep voice: "It is my brother's great fortune to have the trust of His Highness. My two brothers will definitely go through fire and water for His Highness, no matter what."
With a chuckle, Li Chen said: "We will talk about these words slowly after we defeat the Liao army."
