Li Chen's words made Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan's faces extremely heavy.

Although Li Chen didn't state it too explicitly, both of them were incredibly intelligent. They understood each other implicitly. From Li Chen's words, they could sense a hint of his true intentions.

And this gradually clear and bright purpose made the two of them tremble with fear.

At the cost of Yueya Pass!

This sentence is truly evocative.

"The matter is of too great importance," Wu Ban Shan said, despite having some guesses. "Your Highness, please make it clear."

Li Chen looked at Wu Ban Shan and said, "In General Wu's view, Yueya Pass is a strategic pass that can block the Liao army's southward advance, right"

Wu BanShan thought this was utter nonsense, but even if it were the most useless statement, he had to take it seriously coming from Li Chen's mouth.

Nodding, Wu Ban Shan replied, "That's right. It is precisely because of the existence of Yueya Pass that the imperial borders can enjoy a measure of peace."

Li Chen said calmly, “That’s right. From the very beginning of its planning to its current standing, everyone in the world has felt that it successfully blocked the Liao army's southward advance.”

But in my opinion, it has another function.

That is the cage shut.

Li Chen got up and walked to the map on one side of the council hall. He pointed inward from Yueya Pass, towards the basin connecting Gansu and Shaanxi, and said, "This place, is a cage."

"A cage that could kill all 600,000 iron cavalry of the Liao army!"

By this point, Li Chen's meaning was clear.

He no longer beat around the bush, and said directly: "This palace will use Yueya Pass as bait to lure the Liao army. Once they break through Yueya Pass, they will inevitably march south and invade the territory of my Great Qin. Therefore, this palace will set an ambush after Yueya Pass, before Ganshan, in this basin with a radius of two hundred and sixty miles, to completely annihilate the Liao army here."

After listening to Li Chen's account, the Wu Qingcang and Wu Ban Shan brothers' eyelids twitched.

Wu Ban Shan's first reaction was to exclaim, "Absolutely not! Not at all!"

Li Chen didn't get angry. He looked at Wu Ban Shan calmly and said, "General Wu, feel free to speak your mind."

Wu Ban Shan's expression was extremely grave. He spoke at an incredibly fast pace, his tone unwavering as he said, "Your Highness, throughout history, wars have never been fought with absolute certainty. War is a national tool, relying on the right time, place, and people. Even the legendary military god, in his early years, suffered some defeats."

Throughout history, there are countless examples of those who had absolute advantages but still suffered defeat.

In essence, there are no guaranteed victories in this world; everything is subject to the unexpected.

"Your Highness, you possess exceptional talent and wisdom, like a tiger devouring miles. I am but a mere fraction of your brilliance. However, I have spent my life at war and dealing with the Liao army for as long as I can remember. Even though they are cunning and suspicious, this plan, while grand, carries too much risk. Should anything go wrong, we would hand over our Great Qin's strongest line of defense to the Liao nation. At that point, the heartland of Great Qin would be directly exposed to their iron cavalry, a threat far more dangerous than a tiger slumbering beside your bed. It is certainly not a wise move, Your Highness!"

Wu Ban Shan said a lot, but all he said boiled down to one point.

The Crown Prince, you shouldn't be so eager for glory. Don't take such a huge risk just for personal gain.

Wu Ban Shan's attitude also represents the attitude of all the soldiers at Yue Ya Guan.

Knowing that his plan would inevitably face huge resistance once it was revealed, Li Chen wasn't surprised, nor did he hold any resentment towards Wu Ban Shan.
