"Such a person, sometimes I really don't know if he is a madman or a genius, a hero or a tyrant."

"I don't even know if collaborating with such a person is a wise choice, or if it would be like raising a tiger to harm me in the future."

Huangji Tian gritted his teeth, tightened the reins, and said in a deep voice: "But I only know that being able to live in the same era as such a genius is both my great fortune and my great misfortune. No matter what, I must ride the waves and fight against the current... Jin, no weaker than Qin!"

But after about half an hour, the Jin army of 300,000 troops set off, taking advantage of the cover of night to march quickly.

Meanwhile, upon receiving Li Chen's order, Wu Qingcang immediately commanded his Qin army to halt their counter-attack, thus continuing to draw the Liao army's attention and preventing them from detecting the Jin army's movements.

Until this point, the Qin army's secret of having 300,000 elite golden soldiers had remained hidden from the Liao army.

At this moment, inside the tent, Li Chen and Wu Qingsang sat facing each other.

After completing the strategic deployment and arrangements, Wu Qingcang finally had time to report his entire battle plan to Li Chen.

"This is roughly the plan. We have the advantage of location and timing, but the problem is that the Liao army has been reinforced and is well-supplied with war materials. This puts immense pressure on the front lines, and often we are forced to make the difficult choice of sacrificing lives to buy time."

Wu Qingcang's voice was heavy as he said, "The Liao army's strength lies in their cavalry combat, and even more so in their ferocious and savage nature. They are far from the likes of common chickens and dogs, Your Highness. We must be prepared for enormous sacrifices and casualties."

Li Chen spoke, "At a necessary moment, I will lead the charge myself."

Wu Qingcang suddenly looked up and blurted out, "No!"

Li Chen waved his hand to stop Wu Qingcang from continuing. He said, "I know you're worried, and my personal involvement might even lead to changes in the already planned battle strategy because of the need to protect me. However, the benefits are obvious: it will boost morale."

Li Chen said in a soft voice, "We have been delaying and undermining the morale of the Liao army, but looking at ourselves, this war has been going on for half a year now, and the soldiers are tired. Morale cannot be maintained high all the time by just passion and a few words of encouragement. If I personally lead the charge, it will greatly boost the morale of the frontline soldiers. For this reason, the risk is worth taking."

"To put it another way, even if we were to lose the battle, whether I personally led the troops or not, I would still die."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingcang gritted his teeth and said, "It is my incompetence."

If all officials were virtuous, there would be no need for a monarch to rule personally.

Wu Qingcang's words made Li Chen laugh and say, "It has nothing to do with you. It's just that we are at a disadvantage. If we want to defeat a powerful enemy, we naturally have to pay a greater price and take on greater risks."

Getting up, Li Chen said, "Let's put this aside for now. The details of the next operation will be left to Wu Shuai to decide. I have other things to attend to. If anything changes, someone will report it."

Wu Qingcang immediately got up and cupped his hands, saying: "Farewell, Your Highness."

Emerging from his tent, Li Chen stood in the darkness. Distant explosions and cries of battle still faintly echoed through the valley, sounding like ghostly wails in this desolate place.

Li Chen looked up at the sky. The night was deep and gloomy, without a trace of light. Even the moon was hidden behind thick clouds. The entire world was filled with a cold and desolate atmosphere.

"Be at ease."

Li Chen whispered, summoning Jian Xin.owess, they would gain the attention and even favor of the Liao Dynasty.During that time, the warriors of the Guza tribe were all unmatched in combat. They fought bravely and valiantly in the most int...
