oolish as before. Don't think you can always get your way!”And Jin Xueyuan's rejection, instead of disheartening Li Chen, only fanned the flames of his desire to conquer even higher.He leaned down to...Chapter 1705: This Is For Everyone's Good

Su Pingbei's words left Guzailov speechless for a long time.

In fact, her deceased father had already told her that.

It was precisely this arrangement that led to Zhao Tailai's decision to go far away to the Jin Kingdom.

Ghazala knew she couldn't change any of this.

For the tribe to survive, she and Zhao Tai had to part ways.

And Zhao Tailai could go anywhere, except Qin.

Once he is gone, not only will he himself perish, but the entire Gǔzā tribe will face annihilation.

This is politics.

Even if Zhao Tailai were to tear his heart and lungs out to show that he was completely separated from his former self, he would still be unable to escape this storm.

Everyone knows that in the Qin Dynasty, there will eventually be a winner and a loser between the Crown Prince and Zhao Xuanji, and ultimately one person will have their political life completely ended.

Therefore, Zhao Tai could not go to the State of Qin.

Let's get going too.

With Zhao Tai's departure, Gu Zaiyelo's heart felt like it had turned to ice. She said coldly: "Rest time is almost over. To be on the safe side, we need to find the main force immediately. Seeing His Royal Highness the Prince is the top priority."

Su Pingbei nodded and turned his head to greet, "Brothers, mount up, let's go home!"

Gansu Mianyang County.

This was once an ordinary and remote county town in Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, but at this time it had been requisitioned by the army and transformed into a temporary military camp.

Within the county town, all the commoners had been relocated to other places. The County Government Office had become Li Chen's residence for work.

It wasn't just Li Chen; the entire temporary combat command was here. Wu Qingcang commanded the overall operation, while Li Chen was mostly a spectator, listening silently and rarely speaking up.

And as the decisive battle approached, Huangji Tian also led his troops into Suiyang County to listen to the entire battle process of the Qin army and the Liao army.

"Report! Scouts from the Liao army have been spotted near Shili River. After a brief exchange with our own scouts, they engaged in conflict."

"Report! The Tongcheng defenders encountered the main Liao army and, after a fierce battle, our army retreated. This battle resulted in over three thousand two hundred casualties on our side, while we killed four thousand enemy soldiers."

"Report! The main force of the Liao army has passed through Tongcheng and is now charging full speed towards our Suiyang County troops, expected to arrive tomorrow."

"Report! The Liao army sent a large force of cavalry to raid the towns along the way, but after finding no one in each place, they burned down the towns out of anger."

Battle reports from all over came in like snowflakes. Inside the county government office, a steady stream of announcements kept coming, rarely pausing.

Wu Qingcang sat in the middle, calm and composed.

"Send someone to inform the garrison near Shili River and make sure they rescue our scouts. As for the enemy scouts, it's best to kill them if possible. If that isn't feasible, don't force it. Our priority is to save our own scouts."

"Relay this order to all garrison troops along the way: you may resist, but absolutely do not hold your positions to the death. If you cannot withstand the attack, retreat immediately. Take any provisions and supplies you can carry with you, and burn anything left behind. Do not leave a single grain of rice for the Liao army."

Wu Qingcang handled everything in an orderly manner. After some thought, he called Wu Banshan to discuss the matter. After a while, Wu Qingcang gave the order: “Send word to Camp Jiāzì. According to the predetermined plan, harass the rear of the Liao army’s main force. Aim only for harassment, not victory. If you are entangled by the Liao army, retreat immediately.”

"Relay the order to Camp Yi, immediately poison the well water in every town along the way. This general wants the Liao army not only to have no food, but also no water to drink, forced to melt snow for sustenance."ext, we can only take it one step at a time.“Your Majesty has promised you!”Li Yinhu gritted his teeth and said, "But you also know that the Crown Prince is not so easy to assassinate, not to mention...
