y. Since the lash sentence has already been carried out, he is now subjected to a year's forfeiture of salary and ordered to return to the military camp for reflection and repentance."This statement,...Chapter 941: The Snake Swallows the Elephant
Every country has its own intelligence agency.
The Eastern Factory of the Qin Dynasty, Liaoning's Inner Guard, and the Jin Dynasty's Blood Dropper.
They have different names, but they are all fellow accomplices who serve as lackeys to the rulers.
However, the Dongchang system was more sophisticated and with clearer authority. This doesn't mean that Liao's inner guards or Jin's Blood Drops were any less powerful.
With the phrase "Huangji Tian willing to lend three thousand blood drops for free," Li Chen immediately understood his meaning.
He didn't want to take the risk and still wanted to cooperate with the Qin dynasty, but at present the political situation in the Qin dynasty was turbulent. He wasn't qualified and didn't dare to represent the Jin nation to completely stake all their chips. Therefore, he decided to pay some price first and put the chips on himself as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace.
"Are you going to help me usurp the throne" Li Chen asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Huangji Tian replied seriously: "No matter what country, the prince is the only heir apparent by law. As the prince of the Qin Empire, Your Highness is the designated heir apparent of the current Emperor of Qin and has the power to govern in his stead. Jin Guo only recognizes Your Highness and is willing to cooperate with you."
But the political situation is turbulent, which will inevitably affect cooperation between the two countries. Therefore, the Jin Kingdom is willing to do its best to help Your Highness consolidate your power.
"These three thousand drops of blood, they are entirely at your command, Your Highness. After you have achieved your goal, my Jin country will reclaim them without charging any fees or seeking revenge. Consider it a gift from me to you as a friend."
Li Chen chuckled and said, "Your kindness has been received, but Your Majesty is well aware of the current situation within the Great Qin. A simple understanding suffices."
Li Chen is not stupid. How could he possibly let three thousand elite assassins from the Jin Kingdom come in
Regardless of whether or not they cause any trouble, the fact that he, as the prince of Qin, used foreign spy agencies to target his own people is a huge issue. If this gets exposed, his position as prince will be very shaky indeed.
What's more, Li Chen wouldn't do such a foolish thing as handing over the reins to the Jin Kingdom.
However, Huangjitian's proposal did give Li Chen a bit of inspiration.
He said, "Your concerns, I am well aware of, and I do not force you. But there's an idea, you can consider it."
The Emperor, following the path of benevolence, said to him, "Your Highness, please speak."
"This palace intends to devour the 600,000 Liao troops outside Yueya Gate."
Li Chen rose, his eyes flashing like lightning, and amidst the shocked expressions of the Heavenly Emperor's Court, he declared: "And there is also Yelü Shenxuan, protected by six hundred thousand Liao soldiers!"
Huangji Tian widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at Li Chen and said, "Your Highness, was what Your Highness said last time true"
Regarding the matter of eliminating 600,000 Liao troops, Li Chen had mentioned it to the intelligence chief of Jin during their last meeting. The intelligence chief relayed this information verbatim back to Jin, and everyone in Jin believed that Li Chen was just talking casually.
Whether it's the evidence of current turmoil within the Qin Empire, which has already weakened the imperial court's control over the entire country, or the fact that the Qin Empire itself does not have enough strength to support Li Chen in realizing his words.
Adding the Jin Dynasty is also the same.
To completely annihilate the 600,000 troops of Liao, Qin and Jin must combine their forces to exceed double that number. This is a simple calculation even someone with a little military common sense can figure out.
That is a full one million and two hundred thousand troops.
Even if the Jin and Qin each contributed half, it would still be an army of 600,000.
Can you make it work
It'll do.
But the problem is that the Liao Kingdom wasn't a fool. How could they possibly remain oblivious to such a large-scale military mobilization
It is likely that before the armies of both countries have even assembled, the Liao army will have already attacked.he hadn't used it in a long time, the artisan was clearly a true master craftsman, his movements smooth and practiced.Just as Li Chen was waiting, Guan Zhiwei asked with a puzzled expression, "Your Hi...
