Chapter 1779: Guard, defend to the death!

After Li Chen finished speaking, he saw Wu Qingcang wanting to say something but stopped, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Now you and I have nothing to worry about."

Wu Qingcang then said: "Your Highness, some people in the army now believe that Your Highness will give up Suiyang County, and even give up Yulin Prefecture."

Li Chen was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Wu Qingcang continued: "After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, even if one of the Yulin Prefectures is lost and the hundreds of thousands of people are lost, the Liao army can only have a little more chance of breathing at most. They still need to attack Wolong Mountain, and this chance of breathing is just enough for our army to arrange the entire Wolong Mountain into a hell that the Liao army has never returned."

"But then again, if we were to defend Suiyang County and protect the people of Yulin Prefecture, our army would have to pay at least more than 50,000 people, and we might not be able to defend it. If we insist on fighting in Suiyang County, it would inevitably affect the layout of Wolong Mountain and affect the whole body with one blow..."

"Now is the last step before success, and Your Highness should think twice before doing it."

After hearing Wu Qingcang's words, Li Chen laughed and said in a silence: "I have thought about it twice, so I made this decision."

As he said that, Li Chen asked in a playful tone: "After the incident of deliberately leaving behind hundreds of thousands of people in the Crescent Pass, are there many people who secretly despise our ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and think that our lord is too cold-blooded?"

Wu Qingcang didn't say anything.

But silence is also an answer.

Li Chen sighed: "Ship Wu, you are the commander of the entire army and you should be able to understand the mood of this palace."

Wu Qingcang said in a deep voice: "It can be understood that if His Highness had not taken the initiative to take responsibility for everything, then the current occupation would not be the case. Perhaps we are still guarding the Crescent Pass, but we must have been out of ammunition and food. If we did not release the Crescent Pass at that time, we would now be the Liao army tomorrow, and everyone would be trapped there and wait for death."

"So this tactical concession is actually a huge strategic victory. If you exchange a crescent moon gate for hundreds of thousands of Liao troops, this account will be worth it no matter how you calculate it."

"Our army broke free from the invisible cage of Crescent Pass, and its strategic depth has been expanded to the entire Gansu and Shaanxi. This is why our army can retreat or fight today. Your Highness has made an indelible contribution."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Whether it is for the lord or the commander, it is impossible for the winner to take all the best. Some choices must be made, and the premise of making choices is to stick to the bottom line and abandon the crescent moon gate. My goal is to win the entire Liao army's elite, but today in Suiyang County, it is not the same."

"The guards of Sui Yang to the death are for the people of the Qin Dynasty."

Li Chen stood up and solemnly said to Wu Qingcang: "The imperial court aims to stabilize the country, while the army aims to guard the country. What is the country and what is the country? The people are."

"If a court and an army can even ignore the life and death of its own people, then such a court and army will be unpopular and will sooner or later be destroyed, because everything about the court and army comes from these people we protect."

After hearing Li Chen's words, Wu Qingcang's eyes lit up, and he immediately said solemnly: "I, for the tens of thousands of people in Yulin Prefecture, I thank Your Highness for your favor."

"Everything is just what it means."
