Li Chen's words made Wu Bishan breathe a deep sigh of relief.
Fortunately, His Highness did not suspect his eldest brother because of this, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.
Zhou Changshou cupped his hands and said, "I obey."
"So be it."
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "You all listen to Wu Shuai for the arrangements for going down. I will not interfere any more. I will help you deal with people you can't deal with. I believe that Wu Shuai will arrange the rest."
.”
The person they couldn't deal with was, of course, not the Liao army or Yelu Shenxuan, but the Sixteenth Cavalry of Yanyun and King Ning.
Wu Qingcang and others accepted the order at the same time and said: "I, my ministers, obey my order."
Coming out of the prince's tent, Wu Banshan caught up with Wu Qingcang and complained: "Brother, you were too reckless just now."
"What are you being reckless about?" Wu Qingcang asked.
Wu Banshan said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful now, how can you openly ask for power, what if..."
"If His Highness is jealous and makes His Highness unhappy, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing, right?" Wu Qingcang asked.
Wu Banshan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother knows this, why do you still do it?"
Wu Qingcang chuckled and said: "Moving mountains, you still don't understand."
"In front of His Highness, if you have evil intentions, no matter how gentle and courteous you act, you will always show your flaws."
"But if you are open-minded and have a clear conscience, then you can mention what needs to be mentioned and you will never cause dissatisfaction to His Highness."
"As far as His Highness is concerned, there is no shortage of flatterers around him, nor is there any shortage of people with ulterior motives. What he really needs is people who can do practical things, meddle less, have more career aspirations, and less desire to fight for power and profit.
.”
"Just now I asked for military power and command power. His Highness knew that I was considering the situation of the war and that I was specialized in the art. I was the one who led the troops in war. Why couldn't I ask for this power? Your Highness understood, so he delegated the power without hesitation.
Give me."
"What's more... His Highness also put forward some ideas for leading troops during several previous discussions. Although they are indeed novel and bold, they are not practical and not suitable for current use and promotion. This shows that His Highness' military
The talent is indeed...unsatisfactory."
"This is not surprising. After all, no one is perfect, and His Highness is not an almighty god. What's more, this is not a flaw. It is just not that good compared to other aspects. The most valuable thing is that His Highness is self-aware and knows how to make good use of others.
.”
"Combining the two, why don't I dare to ask for power?"
"On the contrary, when faced with things that we can obviously do well, we still hesitate and only accept them, and we end up falling behind."
After Wu Qingcang finished speaking, Wu Bishan was thoughtful.
He thought about it carefully for a while, and suddenly became happy, and said: "His Highness has always been as perfect as a god, until I heard him talk about tactical drills several times...it's really hard to describe in words."
Wu Qingcang laughed and said: "If His Highness hears these words, I will definitely make you walk around without food."
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked away.
At this time, far outside Crescent Pass, on the grassland.
A small group of men and horses hid behind the hills and looked at the far end. The undulating hills were covered with a layer of white snow. It was freezing cold, but the heavy snow in the sky not only did not show any intention of stopping, but instead fell more and more heavily.
This group of people were lying on the ground and had been in this position for more than an hour.
