do you think what I said is right”Li Chen smiled faintly: "Yes, from your perspective, it's indeed right.""People need to eat and earn a living. Who is stopping you from eating and earning a living An...Chapter 1423: Not for Power, Not for Office

Li Chen is not a soldier. Military sentiment was not a factor in his decision-making.

He is a politician, and the only thing that drives a politician's choices is self-interest.

In Li Chen's view, Su Pingbei's choice was definitely not what a qualified politician would make.

There is no other way, the risk is too great.

and it's ridiculously large.

Even if Li Chen wasn't a soldier, he could see how risky this plan was and how high the failure rate was.

What's most absurd is that even if this task is successfully completed, the risks involved will not decrease with its completion, but rather increase exponentially.

In the grasslands, with a thousand men, they set out to sever the supply lines of six hundred thousand Liao troops.

If this were to succeed, it would certainly be the best choice for the Qin army, achieving the greatest benefit with the smallest sacrifice.

For this thousand people tasked with execution, this was a one-way journey.

On a larger scale, Wu Qingcang's crazy plan is not only feasible, but also a genius one.

But the worst thing of all was that it was Su Pingbei who carried out this.

Everyone can die, except Su Pingbei.

At such times, Li Chen's silence spoke volumes.

It is precisely silence, any lack of reaction, that gives others unlimited room for imagination.

Does the Crown Prince support or oppose it

As long as the prince remains silent, this attitude is ambiguous and open to speculation.

For Wu Qingcang, this question doesn't need to be guessed. Many times, not speaking is actually a kind of attitude.

There are defaults, and there are denials.

At this moment, the prince's silence clearly indicates that the latter is dominant.

That's why he told Su Pingbei before that the prince didn't want to see the trouble that would come from Su Pingbei's death.

But in fact, Wu Qingscang was extremely supportive of Su Ping's coming to carry out this plan.

It wasn't that he intentionally dug a pit to bury Su Pingbei. He and Su Pingbei had no personal grudges; on the contrary, he admired this junior. To say that he hadn't disgraced the name of the God of War was also his heartfelt opinion.

But precisely because Su Pingbei is excellent, in Wu Qingcang's eyes, Su Pingbei is the best candidate to execute this task.

Others might not be incapable, but they would lower the probability of successfully completing the task. Su Pingbei's excellent military command ability and talent can significantly increase the originally slim chances of success.

As the commander of Yueya Pass, Wu Qingcang's only wish was to defend it.

The difference in position brings about different perspectives on things, so he agrees while Li Chen disagrees.

Given this, Wu Qingscang's previous attempts to ingratiate himself with Su Pingbei and his talk about making achievements were clearly not without ulterior motives.

He knew he was about to meet the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince would most likely not approve of Su Pingbei going north on this mission. At this moment, he couldn't speak up. At this point, the only one who could object was Su Pingbei himself. capital city, the Dongchang could potentially raid anywhere, but no one dared to go near Zhao's residence."Xu Wei sighed in his heart, he knew that Li Yinhu's choice was absolutely right.And Li Yinhu...
