Li Chen chewed these words over and over and sneered.
If anyone else said this, Li Chen wouldn't care.
But Xiao Tiannan, as a senior official of the Liao Kingdom, said such words directly, which is enough to prove that the problems in Yueyang Pass are very big.
Looking down at He Kun who was kneeling in Xi Zheng Hall, Li Chen said: "Yes, you have done a good job in this matter. Xiao Tiannan is still useful. Now is not the time to burn bridges."
A powerful internal response is enough to defeat thousands of troops.
Just look at Zhao Xuanji and you will know.
One Zhao Xuanji would at least set back the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty by more than fifty years.
Xiao Tiannan now has no way to compare with Zhao Xuanji in Da Qin in terms of means or status in the Liao Kingdom, but without this opportunity, it would be almost impossible to plant such a nail in the Liao Kingdom.
Therefore, this person should be kept to catch big fish.
Seeing that Li Chen praised him, He Kun looked happy and said quickly: "Everything depends on His Highness's wiseness and martial prowess..."
"I don't like hearing this kind of flattery."
Li Chen waved his hand and said calmly: "If I were really so wise and powerful, there wouldn't be so many silverfish in this court."
He Kun immediately said: "Severe illness does not happen in a day. Your Highness does not need to blame yourself too much. Now the whole court has been much better under His Highness's governance. We must take it step by step."
With that said, He Kun changed the subject and said: "Your Highness, regarding the matter of the Prince of Liao Kingdom, I have a suggestion."
He Kun is well versed in the ways of being an official and knows that too much talk can lead to more mistakes, so he rarely puts forward any ideas on his own initiative unless Li Chen asks.
In this way, although it is easy for Li Chen to feel mediocre, he will not make mistakes by thinking too much and talking too much.
Therefore, when Li Chen heard him offering suggestions, he immediately became interested and said, "Let's talk about it."
He Kun first bowed to Li Chen, and then said: "Actually, this also depends on His Highness's decision. Whether His Highness wants to see Yelu Shenxuan leave Daqin safely."
Li Chen did not express his inner thoughts, but said: "Tell us both ways."
He Kun smiled slightly and said: "In fact, no matter how His Highness thinks about it, the method is the same. The only difference is when to start taking action."
"I dare you, Your Highness, to take a look at the map of Yueya Pass."
Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Come here, get the map."
Soon, a high-precision map of Crescent Pass that would never be circulated to the outside world was displayed in front of He Kun.
When He Kun saw this map, it not only marked the terrain and landforms near Yueyang Pass, but also military defenses were on it. Especially the line of words "Royal Scroll Painting of the Sixteenth Year of Daxing" at the top of the map showed that this was the only
Only the emperor or the prince can see the pictures directly. Anyone else without permission will end up confiscating their property and exterminating their clan if they take a look at it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
After saluting and thanking him, He Kun pointed to the area south of the Crescent Pass, which belonged to the border of the Qin Kingdom, and said: "I dare to make an assumption. If the Crescent Pass is breached, then this area will bear the brunt of the Liao cavalry."
Trampling, and this entire area, in addition to being the land of Great Qin, also has another identity, that is, the fiefdom of King Ning."
Lowering his voice slightly, He Kun's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and he said: "If this is the case, Prince Ning will never sit idly by."
