When Wu Qingcang made this request, Wu Bishan's teeth were about to burst.
He never imagined that his brothers would turn against each other at this time.
He also couldn't figure out why his eldest brother would do such an incredible thing.
Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not agree to Wu Qingcang's request.
He said calmly: "Wu Shuai said something serious. General Wu just didn't think it through for a while. This has nothing to do with his ability. Besides, changing generals before the battle is a taboo for military strategists. It is precisely because the current situation is difficult that General Wu's responsibilities are important.
If he is not qualified, then this matter should not be mentioned again."
Hearing this, Wu Qingcang sighed softly and said no more.
At this point, Li Chen's attitude was already clear.
"Wu Shuai, General Wu, please go down and prepare immediately. Call the civilians and dress them up. How can we act more like them? I believe you will have a way."
Wu Banshan was extremely angry and aggrieved to the extreme.
But facing Li Chen's decision, he knew that if he resisted again, it would have no meaning other than making His Highness completely disgusted.
At this time, Wu Qingcang had already taken the lead to express his position on his behalf.
"The general will obey his orders."
After saying that, Wu Qingcang turned around and stared at Wu Bishan expressionlessly.
Wu Banshan's mouth trembled, but in the end he lowered his head and said with difficulty: "General... I obey."
When he said these four words, Wu Banshan closed his eyes in pain.
He knew that a huge blood debt was brewing at this moment.
"Go ahead."
Li Chen waved his hand and asked the two of them to leave.
After Wu Banshan and Wu Qingcang left, Li Chen seemed to be talking to himself and said: "Wu Shuai, after all, he is still eager to protect his brother."
"He's a smart guy."
Zhou Ping'an spoke and said: "He knows very well that after this incident, someone will have to take responsibility for it, so he wants to pick Wu Bishan out in advance and carry it himself."
For everything, someone must be responsible.
What's more, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people is such a big thing that not even Li Chen can handle it.
When the time comes, in the face of overwhelming public opinion and accusations from all over the world, someone must come forward to take the blame.
Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou were too low in status to bear the burden, and they could not come forward to bear it.
Li Chen is even more impossible.
There is no reason for a monarch to take the blame for his ministers.
Even if this decision is ultimately made by the monarch.
Just like the case in Qinghe City that year, everyone who knew the inside story understood that this matter was ordered by Taizu, but in the end, the person who died was Baili, the founding general who had followed Taizu in the north and south and made great contributions.
Xiuqi.
Therefore, the person taking the blame can only be one of the Wu brothers.
But Li Chen said at this time: "He underestimates me too much."
This sentence seems to reveal that Li Chen wants to protect the person who will ultimately take the blame.
But Li Chen didn't say much more specifically.
These are all things for later.
If this battle fails, the country will be overturned. This kind of blame will automatically fall on Li Chen without having to bear it.
Of course, whatever the prince does is wrong.
Li Chen's eyes fell on Zhou Changshou, who was quiet and low-key again, and said: "You surprised me and surprised me."
Zhou Changshou lowered his head slightly, seeming a little shy.
With such an appearance, no one could imagine that this shy young man had just hatched a plan to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians.
"Your Highness, please tell me that this second brother Xianguan has some skills." Zhou Ping'an felt proud.
