Of course, the emperor's demeanor was extraordinary. Li Chen didn't know.

He doesn't have the time to care about that now.

He only knew that the fire set by the Liao army was almost at his doorstep, a matter of urgency.

After Prince Ning's departure, Li Chen immediately began to deploy the subsequent strategic arrangements.

“In this battle, the sixteen riders of Yan Yun will hold off at least two hours for us. During those two hours, we must tighten our grip completely, making it impossible for the Liao army to take flight.”

Li Chen looked up at Zhou Changshou who had just arrived and said, "Changshou, you are the key to this."

Zhou Changshou clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, how can one achieve longevity"

Li Chen said: "The Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun will delay the Liao army for two hours on the main battlefield, and during this time, I will stay here and not leave. When the time comes... you tell Wu Yong to bring the Iron Floating Pagoda and kill me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a collective gasp of astonishment echoed through the tent.

"Your Highness, no!"

Wu Ban Shan urgently said: "It's hard to guarantee they won't make the play real."

They surely will.

"What I want is for them to make their pretense real."

Wu Qingcang frowned, he said: "Does Your Highness intend to let Yelu Shenxuan see an opportunity"

Li Chen smiled and said, "Wu Shuai understands me."

Wu Qingcang hesitated and said, "But the risk is enormous."

“By then, the battlefield will be in fierce fighting, and our army will be hidden in the rear. Once Tie Futu arrives, almost no one in this camp can withstand it. Coupled with the Liao army's attack, it will be a desperate situation where they will have nowhere to run.”

There is nothing absolute in all things under heaven.

Li Chen said lightly, "Staying at Yueya Pass, you also say it's a dead end, but didn't it still let this palace out"

“Now King Ning is still ambitious, and after this conflict escalated, both sides are on high alert. They’re not even bothering to put on a show anymore, and it's impossible to utilize them effectively. The Liao army also wants us dead. Our situation is extremely dire.”

But it is precisely because of this situation that this palace is willing to go all out and give it my best shot.

If successful, the weak will overcome the strong, and a reversal will lay the foundation for victory.

"If defeated..."

Li Chen swept his gaze over each person in the tent and said, "Even if it rains cats and dogs, this palace will die first."

With things having reached this point, even if Wu Banshan and the others had countless words of dissuasion, they could only swallow them back down.

Wu Qingcang pondered for a moment, then suddenly bowed to Li Chen and said, "Your Highness, I have something to ask of you."

"Wu Shuai, feel free to speak your mind." Li Chen waved his hand.

Wu Qingcang said in a deep voice, "Each profession has its own expertise. As for the subsequent battlefield layout and strategic arrangements, the last general requests that Your Highness give him the authority."

Wu Qingscang's words made Wu Banshan look at him as if he had seen a ghost.

Wu Ban Shan couldn't understand, how could his own brother act like a madman and dare to ask the prince for power

But what Wu Ban Shan didn't expect was that Li Chen readily agreed.

Not only did he agree, but Li Chen also made an apology.

"Wu Shuai, as for how to fight the war and how to arrange it, this palace is no match for the military generals. I am not even as capable as the two of you. Recently, there are just too many things happening. Many things, although they serve this war, have already gone beyond the scope of the war itself, so this palace has intervened a bit more. Now, Wu Shuai, rest assured, from now on, how to fight this battle will be up to you to decide."

"Having said that, Li Chen looked at Zhou Changshou and said, "Changshou, hand over Wu Yong's information to Wu Shuai. Afterward, on matters of strategic arrangement, his orders shall be regarded as my will."uanji looked at Li Chen with a hint of smugness in his eyes. He said, "Please, Your Highness, hand over the regency.""Your Highness, we request that you relinquish the regency!"The civil servants, in...
