Su Zhenting's expression was equally solemn. He nodded and said, "Yes, so what we have to consider now is whether we should hide this news?"
"I can't hide it."
Li Chen shook his head, glanced in the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and sneered: "With such a large army, it is too easy for them to install a few informants. It is impossible to hide a defeat."
Su Zhenting said angrily: "Pingbei is still too young and fell into the enemy's trap."
"Your Highness, since the war cannot be concealed now, we should start making amends."
Su Zhenting cupped his hands to Li Chengong and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, please give an order to select another general to direct the war, and then escort Su Pingbei back to Beijing for questioning!"
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Changing commanders before battle is a taboo among military strategists. How could the general not know this? It's just because Su Pingbei is the general's son and the general has to avoid suspicion. The general does not need to think too much about this matter. I have my own plan.
.”
"I will issue an order to Su Pingbei, not only to reprimand him for his rash advance, but also to comfort him not to be discouraged. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. What's more, if you lose this one battle, you will not lose the entire battle."
Rubbing his temples, Li Chen continued: "It's just that Su Pingbei's burden is even heavier. He must win this battle completely as soon as possible, otherwise neither he nor the East Palace, you and me, will be passive.
"
Su Zhenting asked: "Your Highness is worried about an attack on the cabinet?"
"It's just natural."
Li Chen said calmly: "The sending of troops to North Korea was originally promoted by me. Now that the war has gone wrong, I naturally have to shoulder this responsibility."
"Don't think about these things for now."
Li Chen didn't say much, he said: "How much are the losses on the front line?"
"Nearly 10,000 people died in the war."
Su Zhenting's words made Li Chen's eyebrows twist together fiercely.
That's tens of thousands of lives.
Standing in line, you can't even see the side.
Just like that, they all died.
"Order Su Pingbei to act according to the situation."
At this moment, Li Chen showed courage and trust in Su Pingbei that even surprised Su Zhenting.
"The battle on the frontline is changing rapidly. You and I are thousands of miles away and can't give Su Pingbei any help at all. We can't just point fingers and give directions blindly. He can only rely on himself for everything."
"If he wins, it will still be his glory to Su Pingbei. If he loses..."
Li Chen did not continue, but Su Zhenting knew that if he failed, not only would Su Pingbei be doomed, but the Su family and even the East Palace would be implicated.
After getting up and coming to the entrance of Xi Zheng Palace, Li Chen looked into the distance.
What he didn't tell Su Zhenting was that this battle was not only an opportunity for him to show off to the world that the might of the Qin Empire was still there, but also the Huns nomads in the north and the domestic vassal kings. At the same time, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at this battle.
Zhan wanted to see the reality of the imperial court.
If they feel that the imperial court is completely weak and can be bullied, it will be really troublesome.
The current imperial court is like a tiger that has been gaining power for a long time but is terminally ill. Everyone can see that the tiger is sick, but whether its claws are still sharp or not, and whether its teeth can kill people, you can only know if you see it with your own eyes. After all, it
It has been fierce for three hundred years.
This battle is an opportunity to show off your fangs and claws.
Winning will scare the enemy and give the court a chance to breathe. Losing will expose one's own weaknesses and attract a group of people to attack...
"Your Highness, I have arranged a secret report to a confidant in the army. It is suspected that someone has leaked military information..."
Su Zhenting's words after several hesitations made Li Chen suddenly turn around.
