Chapter 1621 Do you still want to remonstrate with soldiers?
Those who have not experienced decades of being passively beaten will not be able to appreciate the excitement brought about by this change in strategic position.
Li Chen didn't consider Wu Banshan's mood now. What he was thinking about was how to safely and securely wipe out the entire Liao army.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chen looked towards... Yanyun Sixteenth Cavalry.
"I need the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun to send troops to delay the Liao Army for at least four hours."
As soon as these words came out, the three senior generals of Yanyun's Sixteenth Cavalry suddenly changed their expressions.
Among them is the current commander of Tiefu Tu, Wu Yong.
The three of them looked ugly, but they did not object immediately. Instead, they glanced at Prince Ning.
Sure enough, Prince Ning's face was darker than theirs.
Prince Ning winked.
Wu Yong received the hint and understood it. This was King Ning asking them to object first, but... Wu Yong pretended not to understand.
Subconsciously, his instinct told him that he couldn't get ahead at this time.
So he gave a slight wink to a general beside him.
The general's name was Chen Bai.
When he saw the look in Prince Ning's eyes, he couldn't help but want to speak, but Wu Yong's status was higher than his, and he couldn't steal the limelight in front of Wu Yong.
But now Wu Yong has allowed himself to speak first, and Chen Bai is of course happy.
Looking down on Wu Yong's cowardice in his heart, Chen Bai took a step forward and said loudly to Li Chen: "Forgive Yanyun Sixteen Cavalry... for being unable to accept His Highness's mission."
Chen Bai seemed not to notice Li Chen's emotionless expression at all. He said proudly: "The Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun and His Highness have long made an agreement. The Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun can send troops for Your Highness, but they will never appear on the frontal battlefield.
Not to mention being the main force, His Highness also agreed, but now His Highness has gone back on his word, which is disgraceful."
Li Chen's face was as cold as ice and snow, and he said indifferently: "When did I make an agreement with you Yanyun Sixteenth Cavalry?"
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Chen Bai to answer, Li Chen raised his voice and scolded: "The Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun is at best an army under the imperial court. According to their qualifications, your commander is only a third-grade military officer. Where does that come from?
Are you qualified to negotiate terms with me!?"
The Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun had a special status, and the position of commander had always been vacant, because all military affairs were handled by King Ning himself.
But from the perspective of the military establishment of the Great Qin Empire, the nominal highest commander of the Yanyun Sixteenth Cavalry, that is, the commander, was indeed only a third-rank official.
Therefore, what Li Chen said is both emotional and rational, and there is no problem.
Chen Bai was choked to the point of speechlessness. He completely lost the arrogance he had just now, and said with some lack of confidence: "But, but that's what the prince told us."
This can be said to mean that he has no political brain at all.
Even a fledgling kid knows that this is a big problem.
Not only did he show his incompetence, but he also allowed Prince Ning to be roasted on the fire.
Sure enough, Prince Ning's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Li Chen did not give Prince Ning a chance to get angry. He sneered and said to Chen Bai: "When will it be your turn, Yan Yun Sixteenth Cavalry, to come out and point your fingers at the matters between me and Prince Ning?"
Chen Bai himself realized at this time that he had said the wrong thing. Flustered and angry, he blurted out: "In short, the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun will never accept His Highness's mission. Your Highness can take back his life."
As soon as these words came out, Prince Ning's eyelids jumped and he felt bad.
Sure enough, Li Chen shouted angrily: "How brave!"
"The Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun ordered me to take back my order. Is this the attitude of the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun towards the Crown Prince of the Qin Empire? If I don't take back my order, will you Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun want to remonstrate with me!?"
