eve in General Su's character and speak for him, but you don't know. You still think that you and General Su are accomplices. Is this not causing you trouble"(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). U...Chapter 1182 the beauty of his thoughts

when he returned to the East Palace, Li Chen immediately received two important news.

one of the messages brought a letter written by Wu Jingcang himself.

after opening the envelope and reading it, Li Chen closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. Su Zhenting and Hu Shifan, who had just taken up his new post as a logistics general, were summoned.

"Minister, Su Zhenting, see your Highness."

"Old minister, Hu Shifan, see your Highness."

the two arrived in a hurry and saluted as soon as they arrived at the side of the Xi Zheng Hall.

"No, there's no need to be polite."

Li Chen looked up to Su Zhenting and said, "is there any further news from Crescent pass"

Su Zhenting immediately said: "just received the latest war report half a day ago. At present, the 600000 troops of the Liao State are divided into three routes, surrounded by the Crescent pass. At present, the Crescent pass is still being guarded, but the casualties are very heavy. Daily letters for help are sent like snowflakes from the front, while the Liaodong Army has marched into Gansu and Shaanxi and can reach the Crescent pass within three days."

"very good."

Li Chen nodded, looked at Hu Shifan and asked, "General Hu, you have been with the Liaodong Army for more than ten years. Tell me the truth, how much can the Liaodong Army play"

Hu Shifan's snow-white beard shook and said heavily, "since your Highness asked, the old minister took the liberty to say bluntly that the Liaodong Army might not play a big role."

"because the Liaodong Army is stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula all the year round and is accustomed to coastal defense operations in the open plains, the whole army is mobile in light equipment and interspersed in a roundabout way. Although it is more flexible, it has no room to play in urban defense operations in the loess desert."

"if it is a large-scale group campaign with a collection of multi-forces, then the Liaodong Army can act as a mobile force and give full play to its flexible advantages to carry out short-range raids, but now the situation at Crescent pass has bound the hands and feet of the Liaodong Army."

Hu Shifan's words made Li Chen look heavy, but he could not lose his temper.

because Hu Shifan is telling the truth.

We cannot blame the Liaodong Army for its incompetence. It can only be said that the army, like human beings, always has its advantages and disadvantages.

if we give full play to our strengths, we can achieve a combat effectiveness of 120%, but if it is completely short, then the combat effectiveness must at least be greatly reduced.

Su Zhenting interrupted at this moment: "when I came, I had just received an official letter from King Ning."

Li Chen raised his hand and said, "bring it."

Wan Jiaojiao got up and took the official letter from Su Zhenting, then turned around and handed it to Li Chen.

when Li Chen opened the official letter, he saw only a few dozens of words and scribbled handwriting. It was obvious that the person who wrote the official letter was very arbitrary and did not take the official letter submitted to the court too seriously and wrote it casually.

it was just a glance, and Li Chen took a general look at the content.

he closed the official letter, patted it on the table, sneered and said, "King Ning, King Ning!"

"the words were full of evasion, saying that the soldiers lacked training, even less food and baggage, and could not help the crescent moon pass. The most outrageous thing was that a seasonal epidemic broke out in the barracks, and ten soldiers and six diseases not only refused my request to send troops, but also asked me for money and food. What a peaceful king!"

Su Zhenting had obviously read this official letter, and he said quietly: "King Ning tried every means to find a reason, that is, he expected that the imperial court would certainly do its utmost to keep the crescent moon pass, and if the crescent moon pass was not lost, his territory would be as stable as Mount Tai. This was to ask the court to use the strength of the whole country to keep him safe."

Li Chen suddenly stood up and said, "what he thinks is beautiful!" sneered, "of course Zhao Xuanji has his own mind, but so what he has a saying that he is right. He has fallen down. The next one in the Eastern Palace is Ben Wang. When there is no power of Zhao Xuan...
