Li Chen's words made Wu Qingcang and Wu Bishan look extremely heavy.
Although Li Chen didn't make it too obvious, both of them were extremely smart people. They knew the elegant meaning of the strings when they heard it, and they could sense some of Li Chen's true purpose from Li Chen's words.
And this purpose that gradually became clearer and clearer made the two of them terrified.
At the expense of Crescent Moon Pass!
This sentence really makes people think a lot.
The matter was too important. Although Wu Bishan had some guesses, he still asked: "Your Highness, please speak clearly."
Li Chen looked at Wu Banshan and said: "In General Wu's view, Crescent Pass is a great pass that blocks the Liao army from going south, right?"
Wu Bishan felt that this was just nonsense, but no matter how nonsense it was, he had to take it seriously when it came out of Li Chen's mouth.
Nodding, Wu Banshan replied: "Indeed, it is the existence of Crescent Pass that allows the empire's border to enjoy some peace."
Li Chen said calmly: "Yes, from the beginning of the project to the time when the Crescent Pass was erected to this day, people all over the world feel that it was a great pass that successfully blocked the Liao army from going south."
"But in my opinion, it also has another role."
"That's the closed cage."
Li Chen stood up, came to the map on the side of the meeting hall, pointed inward at Crescent Pass, leading to the large basin of Gansu and Shaanxi, and said: "This place is just a prison cage."
"A cage that can trap and kill all the 600,000 Liao army's cavalry!"
At this point, what Li Chen wanted to express was already clear.
He no longer kept secrets and said directly: "I want to use Crescent Pass as a bait to be eaten by the Liao army. When they break through Crescent Pass, they will inevitably send their troops south to invade our land of Great Qin, so I want to be there
After Crescent Pass and before Gansu and Shaanxi, in this basin with a radius of 260 miles, all the Liao troops were trapped and killed here."
After listening to Li Chen's narration, brothers Wu Qingcang and Wu Bishan's eyelids jumped.
Wu Banshan's first reaction was to shout: "No! No way!"
Li Chen did not get angry. He looked at Wu Banshan and said calmly: "General Wu, you can speak freely."
Wu Banshan's expression was extremely serious. He spoke very quickly and in a very firm tone: "Your Highness, in ancient times, there has never been an absolute certainty in war. War is a weapon of the country. It pays attention to the right time, place, and people. Even if it is
When the God of War was still alive, he suffered some defeats in his early years."
"Looking at the entire history, there are countless examples of people who had absolute advantages but were still defeated."
"All in all, there is no sure-win battle in this world. Everything is unexpected."
"His Highness is a man of great talent and strategy. He can swallow up thousands of miles like a tiger. In the end, he will not be as good as the worst. But he will fight for a lifetime and deal with the Liao army for a lifetime. Even the Liao people are cunning, suspicious and jealous. The whole plan is grand, but risky.
But it is too big. If something goes wrong, it will be giving up the strongest line of defense of our Qin Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom. Then the hinterland of the Qin Dynasty will directly face the Liao army cavalry. Such a threat is comparable to a tiger lying on the side, which is definitely not wise.
Lift it, Your Highness!"
Wu Banshan said a lot, but all his words summed up to the same meaning.
Prince, please don't be so greedy for success that you take such big risks for the sake of greed.
Wu Banshan's attitude can also represent the attitude of the entire Crescent Pass soldiers.
Li Chen, who had known that his plan was bound to encounter huge resistance if it was thrown out, did not find it strange and did not blame Wu Bishan.
