Chapter 1479: The war you see, I see politics
"Wu Shuai also thinks that this palace is a great success?" Li Chen asked.
Wu Qingcang smiled bitterly.
He thinks much more than Wu Banshan.
At least at this time, he already understood that Li Chen was notifying his two brothers about today's matter and asking them to cooperate in the execution of the entire plan.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers in Yueyangguan, and it is impossible for the prince to persuade them one by one, so the two brothers must come forward in this matter.
Even when necessary, he has to take on the role of taking the blame.
But no matter how he said it, Li Chen had already made a decision, and it was a notification rather than a discussion.
The only difference lies in how well the two brothers cooperate.
From Wu Qingcang's standpoint, he didn't want to disobey Li Chen, but there were some things he had to say.
"I will always admire His Highness's broad mind and grand scheme."
As usual, Wu Qingcang continued: "But this plan is too risky, and we would not regret waiting for death. But once the plan fails, the consequences waiting for us will be the overthrow of the country, and the great rivers and mountains will be destroyed by the Liao army."
Is it worth taking such a risk to be trampled by iron cavalry?"
"In fact, as long as we hold on to the Crescent Pass and use troops against the Liao Kingdom in the future, we can plan for it slowly."
"Your Highness is still so young and has plenty of time to wait, so why rush?"
Li Chen said calmly: "I can wait, but the imperial court cannot wait."
"You are on the front line and don't know many things clearly. To describe the current domestic situation as precarious would be an understatement. It can be said that all of us are sitting on a barrel of explosives. The next moment, this barrel of explosives may explode at any time."
"There are internal and external troubles, people's livelihood is in ruins, there are internal thieves in the court who are causing chaos, local governments and local powerful people are colluding with each other, and there are even vassal kings who are eyeing them, not to mention the Liao Kingdom, and even the Jin Kingdom. Which of these people is not determined to destroy the traitors of the Qin Dynasty?
"
"It's not that I am overjoyed, but that the country simply cannot afford to fight a protracted war."
Hearing this, Wu Banshan and Wu Qingcang stopped talking. Li Chen raised his hand and said: "I know what you two mean. You want to say that this time the Liao army's 600,000 cavalry will hold the pass. In fact, the Liao army will
The army itself is also under great pressure, and their country is about to usher in the replacement of the old and new kings, so these 600,000 cavalry cannot continue to attack Crescent Pass for a long time, right?"
The two brothers Wu Qingcang nodded silently.
Not only them, but in the eyes of everyone who knows the internal situation of Liao Dynasty, this matter itself is like this.
Li Chen sighed softly and said sincerely: "Yelu Shenxuan is so anxious to break through the Crescent Pass because he wants to take the power of this great victory back to Jin Kingdom Langting to inherit the throne. If he can't do it, he can only retreat.
go back."
"But even if the Liao army is forced to withdraw this time, what about next year? What about the year after next? As long as the Liao army is willing, it can bring a force of tens of thousands to come over at any time to hold the pass. Da Qin does not have the financial resources or energy to waste time with them.
Go down."
"For so many years, Daqin has always been passively defensive. When the enemy comes, they quickly set up battle formations to defend, just praying that they will retreat quickly. Everyone has been accustomed to this mode, but there is really no one.
Have you ever thought about why Great Qin couldn't take the initiative to attack? More than three hundred years ago, our Great Qin army was so powerful that 30,000 men could defeat the entire Western Region. Have you forgotten all this?"
Li Chen's words made the meeting hall so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
