Chapter 1537: Friend and Enemy
Chapter 1537: Enemy
Zhou Ping'an frowned.
Li Chen's rejection was not because of the kindness of a woman.
Instead, we really take a global perspective and take a comprehensive consideration.
If this plan fails, the Crescent Pass will be broken and the heartland of the Central Plains will directly face the threat of the Liao army. At that time, the Qin Dynasty will face the biggest threat since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
So Li Chen can't make a mistake in a single step, and he can't leave any mistakes behind.
This is inconsistent with Zhou Ping'an's bold and radical strategy.
Zhou Ping'an made a statement: "But Your Highness, the Liao army is now on the string, so they have to fire it. Even if they have doubts, they can't help it in the face of the temptation to break through the crescent moon gate."
"You can't help it. You're talking about human hearts, which is good."
Li Chen then said: "If the interests are big enough, they will take risks selectively, but the key lies in this selectivity."
"What I want is that they will win after doing their best, and will rush through the crescent moon without any worries or doubts, rather than tentatively entering the crescent moon with one step and three glances."
"If this palace is Yelu Shenxuan, it will definitely divide its troops into the Crescent Pass. Once there is a change, it will retreat immediately, and it will never easily pass the Crescent Pass and rush into the Ganzhou-Shaanxi Basin."
These words made Zhou Ping'an relax his eyebrows, and he said sincerely: "It's because the servant is not thinking well."
"It's okay."
Li Chen said calmly: "You have never had contact with Yelu Shenxuan, nor have you had contact with the Liao army, nor are you good at military affairs, so you can understand it."
At this moment, Wu Qingcang asked, "But, how difficult is it to achieve the effect your highness just now?"
"Yes, it's very difficult."
Li Chen nodded and said, "So how to truly deceive the Liao army and Yelu Shenxuan is the key to success or failure of the plan, and this..."
Turning his head and looking at Zhou Ping'an who has been silent, Li Chen smiled and said, "I guess Ping'an has a clever plan?"
When Zhou Ping'an saw everyone's eyes, he spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "I'm just a mortal. How can I have a magical plan? Your Highness is so proud of me."
Li Chen smiled without saying a word, just looking at Zhou Ping'an.
In the end, Zhou Ping'an couldn't hold back.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Please come to the sand table."
Li Chen stood up, Wu Qingcang and Wu Dianshan followed closely, and everyone came to the front of the sand table.
Zhou Ping'an disrupted the arrangement of troops on the sand table, simply divided it into both sides of the enemy and us, and then said: "Let's first look at the power comparison between us and the Liao army."
"After a series of battles, the Liao army will ask Wu Shuai and General Wu. With your experience, how many troops can the Liao army fight at this time?"
Wu Qingcang frowned and said in a deep voice: "Conservative estimate is at least 450,000."
"Okay, then it's worth 500,000."
Zhou Ping'an smiled and summed up the power representing the Liao army, which was counted as 500,000.
Then he pointed to the crescent gate and said, "The power on our side is mainly divided into four components."
"The first component, the Crescent Guard, the most loyal force, is the soldiers who can join the battle, including the Liaodong Army, and there are about 110,000 left. If the wounded soldiers are ignored, they can squeeze out 130,000 people. Is Wu Shuai accurate in his speculation?"
Wu Qingcang nodded and said, "It's very accurate."
Nodded, Zhou Ping'an divided a bunch of them and said, "This part is supported by Ganzhou and Shaanxi, 80,000, but less than half of them have real combat power, which is counted as 40,000."
