nd palate-cleansing dishes for lunch.""Well, getting more thoughtful."Li Chen gave her a compliment, which immediately made Wan Jiaojiao beam with delight.At this time, the Three Treasures came to see...Chapter 1536: Leaving Behind the Wounded

So the feast may be over, but the real work has just begun.

This night, Li Chen didn't sleep.

Wu Qingcang and Wu Ban shan also didn't sleep.

Even Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou were called over.

Five people crowded into the City Lord's Council Hall, beginning to discuss how to act and what kind of sacrifices they should make.

This led to a heated debate in the council chamber.

"I can't possibly see eye to eye with you intellectuals; all you say is nonsense!"

Wu Ban Shan's temper was more fiery. He glared at Zhou Ping An and cursed, "You two talk so easily, with your lips smacking together! Six army divisions, leaving six army divisions at Yueya Pass, you're letting this general's six army divisions stay here to die!"

When the Liao army breaks the city, what will become of these 60,000 brothers They can only expect death!

Zhou Ping'an let out a cold snort and said, "War, where are there people who don't die As long as the final victory can be achieved, then they died, it is also worthwhile."

"Fuck your stinking dog!"

Wu Ban Shan jumped up and cursed angrily.

Wu Qingcang frowned slightly and rebuked, "General Wu, be mindful of your identity and surroundings."

Wu Ban Shan glanced at Li Chen, who was sitting above, eyes closed as if meditating, not participating in the conversation but listening to every word intently. Wu Ban Shan suppressed his anger and said, "Please forgive my offense, Your Highness. It was this subordinate who spoke out of turn."

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "It's alright, everyone has different opinions. It's important to communicate well and not let this cause any discord."

Wu Ban Shan said: "Your Highness, his words are simply too outlandish. Giving 60,000 troops to the Liao army for nothing, not to mention how severe this loss would be, even if everything went according to plan, losing 60,000 elite soldiers, we would lack the manpower to encircle and suppress the Liao army. At that time, it would truly become a major disaster."

Zhou Ping'an immediately said, "General, you misunderstood me."

Wu Ban Shan's brow arched, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that I really misunderstood him"

Before Wu could even formulate the thought of moving the mountain, Zhou Ping'an spoke up: "If 60,000 elite troops were to be sent here in vain, not only would the general disagree, but I wouldn't either. My intention is to leave the wounded behind."

The moment this statement was uttered, Wu Ban Shan went completely ballistic.

Wu Ban Shan, enraged, could no longer contain himself. He grabbed Zhou Ping An's collar, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, and roared: "Zhou Ping An, do you think this general dares not kill you!"

Zhou Ping'an remained expressionless. Given his temperament, even if Wu Ban Shan had grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, or even held a knife to his throat, as long as he felt it was in his best interest, he wouldn't even flinch.

"The general is certainly brave, but what I said was all for the sake of the overall situation. General, you are indecisive and, for a sliver of so-called kindness, ruined the whole plan. When the time comes, can the general bear this responsibility, or will someone else have to"

"Wu Ban Shan!"

Li Chen's voice came faintly, "This palace is still here."

Wu Ban Shan turned his head to look at Li Chen, and finally let go of Zhou Ping'an, gritting his teeth and saying: "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Li Chen ignored Wu Ban Shan, opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ping'an, saying: "Wounded soldiers cannot be left behind."

These words almost made Wu Banshan choke up.

Zhou Ping'an, however, frowned deeply.

In his heart, Li Chen was definitely not a soft-hearted person.

At this time, Li Chen's explanation came, "Injured soldiers, you can't fool Yelü Shenxuan."

"The Liao army has been fighting my Great Qin for centuries, we know each other too well. If all that are left are wounded soldiers, they'll immediately notice. Yelü Shenxuan's methods, this palace knows a thing or two about them. He wouldn't fall for such a simple trick."A few days ago, I mentioned..."Long Huaiyu's expression remained calm as he took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and placed them on the table. "Your Highness, here are twenty thousand tael...
