"As for the candidates, this palace has already made up its mind."

Li Chen had already had the most suitable, and indeed the only candidate, in mind.

If nothing went wrong, this person should have already arrived in the capital by now.

However, Li Chen did not tell the two people who he had in mind.

Su Zhen and Hu Shifan were both a little curious, but they were both old foxes in the officialdom. Seeing Li Chen's unwillingness to speak, no matter how curious they were, they wouldn't ask.

This topic is concluded here.

Li Chen said again, “This palace received a letter from Yueya Pass. Take a look.”

Su Zhen and Hu Shifan took the letter from Li Chen. Su Zhen looked at it first, his brow furrowed after finishing, then handed it to Hu Shifan.

"Even Hu Shifan had finished reading. He looked up and said, “It seems the situation at Yueya Pass is more difficult than we imagined. And judging from the content of this letter, it was sent out after the official report from Yueya Pass, but not by more than two days. In just two days, the situation at Yueya Pass has become precarious... This... is certainly not good news for our Great Qin."

Li Chen said expressionlessly, "According to the letter, if Yueya Pass does not receive any reinforcements, it can hold out for another half a month even if they fight to the death."

This time, the Liao army's 600,000 troops are determined to forcibly open the gates of Yueya Pass.

"I think, instead of defending Moonlit Pass to the death, we should take advantage of their intentions and let them come in."

As soon as Li Chen spoke, Su Zhen and Hu Shifan were taken aback.

Just as they were about to speak up and try to dissuade him, Li Chen said, "Rest assured, I haven't gone mad. The condition for letting them in is that the 400,000 Jin army arrives."

Then Li Chen spoke of the agreement he had made with the Jin Dynasty.

Although this matter hasn't been finalized, in Li Chen's view, the ruler of Jin country would not refuse if he had even a little bit of sense.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Qin Dynasty is willing to take the risk of opening the Crescent Gate and letting the Liao army come in. If the Jin Dynasty does not seize this opportunity to cooperate with the Qin Dynasty to beat down the fallen, then for the next few decades, the Jin Dynasty will still have to face the strong pressure from the Liao Kingdom.

Once Qin is done, the next to die will definitely be them.

Su Zhen-ting and Hu Shi-fan were stunned after hearing Li Chen's plan.

Even they, at this moment, were shocked by Li Chen's courage.

To actively release the Moon's grip is an extremely risky move.

It could even be said that the Qin Empire's three hundred-plus years of foundation was put on the line.

Once something goes wrong, the trouble it creates will be ten times worse than anything Ning Wang could cause.

But it must be admitted that, once the plan succeeds, this will be an unprecedented victory for Qin in nearly a hundred years.

This matter still needs careful consideration.

Li Chen instructed, "You two now know. You also need to start making preparations, but absolutely do not spread this outside."

Su Zhenting and Hu Shifan nodded and said, "Your Highness rest assured, the old ministers know what to do."

"Back to that question, how do we support the Yemeni people"

Li Chen tapped the table with his finger and said, "Everything we just talked about has a prerequisite, which is time. But what Yueyaguan lacks most is time. Right now, we must come up with a plan to help Yueyaguan survive these next two weeks."

Su Zhen Ting spoke, "Your Highness, the reply from Gan and Shan states that 100,000 soldiers from the Wei So have set out and should arrive at Yueya Pass within three days. Adding to this the Liaodong army, we should be able to resolve this pressing issue. However, there is a problem: how do we determine command authority over these three armies"nd said, "Which man doesn't have a heroic dream of wielding a three-foot blade to vanquish all injustice in the world""The rivers and lakes are not your fictional tales, nor your court.
