The rest of the conference didn't last very long.

Since Li Chen and the Prince Ning left, the formulation of the battle plan surprisingly went smoothly.

Wu Yong no longer voiced his dissent and acknowledged most of the arrangements. Meanwhile, the Jin forces became more docile and mostly followed Wu Qingcang's directives.

This way, the whole process is very fast.

An hour later, Wu Qingcang clapped his hands and took a deep breath, saying: “Well then, the initial plan is set. Speed is of the essence; we should act swiftly and not delay. The entire military operation will commence tomorrow, and tonight, the entire army rests for one night. What follows will be a real war.”

"My friends, regardless of your origins, we stand here today united against a common enemy. The brutality of the Liao army needs no further explanation from me; you have all felt its sting firsthand. The rise of the Liao nation is something none of us desire to see."

This statement made the Golden Army generals nod in agreement.

They were mortal enemies of the Liao, a hatred even greater than that between the Liao and Qin.

To know, their ancestors, the Jurchen tribe, were enslaved alive by the Liao kingdom for hundreds of years. Their lives were worse than even the Guza tribe today. It was because of this that the Jurchens rose up in rebellion and crossed the Tianshan Mountains, which led to the establishment of the Jin Dynasty.

Even after its founding, the Jin dynasty had a hard time. The Liao army never stopped harassing it. The Jin court repeatedly made concessions and even lost a lot of territory several times because of peace talks. What's even more shameful is that the Liao army never gave up plundering the Jin.

The Jin Kingdom and the Khitan (Qidan) Kingdom have been warring for a long time.

Wu Qingcang saw that he had stirred up the emotions of the Jin army generals, and he immediately seized the opportunity to hammer home his point, saying in a deep voice: "This time, the Liao prince Yelü Shenxuan personally led the charge, with the elite troops of the Liao army mustered. Six hundred thousand soldiers are besieging our gates. At this stage of the battle, there is no retreat for anyone. All we can do is bury all these hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers in Wolong Mountain."

A slap echoed across the table as Wu Qingcang shouted angrily, "This concerns the fate of our nation. This battle isn't just about the court risking everything; every single person here is putting their lives on the line. If we win, each of us can become renowned throughout history, heroes of our great China! But if we lose... there's nothing left to say. I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood! The Liao people dare to encroach upon our land, and they must first step over my corpse!"

A soldier, whether from the Qin state or the Jin state, raised his hand and performed a salute with a fist held close to his chest. He shouted in unison, "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood, we shall surely prevail!"

The crowd roared in unison, the scene was electric.

Just in the courtyard not far away, Li Chen, King Ning, and Huang Ji Tian were drinking together, with Fucha Huanzhen accompanying them.

Hearing the commotion, Li Chen chuckled lightly and said, "It seems the generals have reached a conclusion. Everyone seems very confident."

"If even they have no confidence, this battle is not worth fighting."

Huangji Tianfu said with confidence: "I am very confident in this battle."

Li Chen let out a hearty laugh and raised his cup, saying, “Everyone, let us drink to this! To victory!”

"Best wishes for victory."

The Emperor and the Prince also raised their wine cups, and even Fucha Huanzhen, who had remained silent since sitting down, unexpectedly took the initiative to raise her cup.

Four glasses clinked in mid-air, their contents swirling as the four individuals drank deeply from them.

After taking a swig of strong liquor, Li Chen hiccuped and swayed as he stood up, saying: “This prince needs to use the restroom, I’ll be right back. Tonight, I won't return until I'm drunk, no one is allowed to leave.”t the darkness behind her, as if a terrifying behemoth lurked there, one that even he feared greatly.Just as the situation was about to explode, the killing intent on the saintess suddenly vanished.I...
