Chapter 1147: Deploying Troops

en discussed many times before. This palace has made its position very clear. The battle with Xian Chao, we must fight, if we don't fight, we must still fight.Li Chen's eyes were incredibly serious as...Chapter 1147: Mobilizing Troops

Yuèyáguān is such a special and secluded place that even the imperial court finds it difficult to interfere. Throughout the empire, the only one who can reach in is Zhào Xuánjī.

Li Chen originally thought that with the Wu brothers' past, the hidden danger of Yueya Pass could be resolved at once.

But unexpectedly, this old fox Zhao Xuanji was so deeply hidden that he still had a hand up his sleeve.

This scene before them, not even Li Chen could have expected it, let alone the Great Emperor himself.

Zhao Xuanji lured the Liao army into the pass. Under the most severe circumstances, the Qin Empire could very well face a crisis of overthrow.

Even the smallest spark could ignite a major war between two nations. With six hundred thousand soldiers deployed by the Liao army, this conflict would easily escalate into a war involving over a million combatants!

It's not just that it would drain the people and treasury; the truth is, present-day Qin simply cannot afford such a war.

Su Zhen Ting saw Li Chen's anger hadn't subsided, and immediately said, "Your Highness, the most important thing now is to first find out the specific situation of Yueya Pass, and secondly, reinforcements need to be arranged immediately."

"The closest to Yueya Guan is King Ning."

"Send a letter to King Ning immediately, demanding that he send all available troops to support Yuemenguan. We must hold off the Liao cavalry at all costs and prevent them from entering our borders at this time."

Li Chen issued a decisive order and then continued, "But we can't pin all our hopes on the King of Ning. How many troops are available in Gansu and Shaanxi"

Su Zhen'ting displayed excellent military acumen. He almost instinctively said, "Gansu and Shaanxi are important garrison towns for my Great Qin. The guards can mobilize over 150,000 troops at any time, and there is also a light cavalry force of around 20,000 that can be deployed."

Li Chen closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, “Send a letter to the governors of Gansu and Shaanxi, demanding that they cooperate with King Ning's aid to Yueya Pass. In short, give money if needed, and people if needed, ensuring that Yueya Pass is not lost.”

"What if King Ning refuses to cooperate" Su Zhenting asked a crucial question.

Li Chen's two arrangements were all based on the cooperation of King Ning.

But the Prince Ning, who has always been powerful and disregards the Imperial Court, may not even bother to acknowledge the imperial court's orders.

Li Chen's eyes darkened as he said, "Order the Liaodong army to set off immediately and march quickly to Yueya Pass."

Su Zhen's heart trembled. "But the main general of Liaodong army is Hu Shifan..."

"Get your son to come!"

Li Chen's voice grew heavier as he said, "I understand your confusion. Why not use the troops surrounding Gansu and Shaanxi, but instead send the Liao Dong army from near Jinggi all the way here This palace has its own reasons. Suping has experience fighting the Xian Cha in the north, and most of the Liao Dong army soldiers have fought alongside him. Since Hu Shifan can't move, he is the most suitable candidate."

Regardless of whether the arrangement was suitable or not, Li Chen had reacted one after another in the shortest possible time. This alone gave people the most basic sense of security.

Su Zhenting clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "This subordinate will arrange it immediately."

"Go."

Li Chen waved his hand and said to Su Zhen Ting: "General Su, this battle concerns the fate of the nation."

Su Zheting nodded solemnly, then turned and immediately left.

As soon as Su Zhenti left, Li Chen turned to Chen Tong and said, "Is the Jin prince still in the capital"

"In."

Chen Tong nodded and said, "They have never left."

"Come on, let's go to the inn," Li Chen ordered decisively.

Chen Tong was startled and said, "Your Highness, with the storm raging at this time, wouldn't it be better for me to invite the prince of the Jin kingdom"

"When will it be your turn to be my master" Li Chen glared. "I'll go there myself!"t Li Chen's words were not just casual greetings. Asking about her well-being was more than just a simple formality. She forced herself to endure the touch of Li Chen's hand and replied, "Things are g...
