Given the current situation, what’s the point of who’s in charge?
If there weren't so many generals around.
Worried about affecting morale.
He really wanted to shout, "God destroy Dayan!"
At present, Li Shimin has only less than 200,000 elite troops.
The total number of troops from various vassal states was only 300,000.
An army of 500,000 is only 600,000 at most.
Although now, the State of Yan is recruiting soldiers from the south.
By the end of winter, we can only recruit 100,000 soldiers at most.
This is an army that would cost you everything you have.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from the State of Yan were destroyed.
Can a mere 700,000 troops defeat the combined forces of Qin and Qi?
If Fengguo doesn't withdraw its troops, there's a possibility...
The vassal troops that came to support from all over the country also had ulterior motives and were not putting their efforts into one place.
What's the point of talking about repelling the Qi-Qin coalition?
Li Shimin came to his senses and called all the generals to discuss the matter. He said to them:
"I intend to cede half of the northern territories to Qi, and then move south."
"If Qin knew that Qi would easily gain control of Yan's territory."
"Perhaps because of this, we will become enemies with Qi. Then, I may have a chance to recover my homeland."
This is a big gamble for him.
It is truly a gamble with the destiny of the country.
All the civil officials and military generals fell into silence.
The land is at stake...
If this is written into history books, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the people will criticize it.
Who is willing to be the scapegoat?
Li Shimin? Obviously impossible.
"His Majesty..."
"As the saying goes, water has no constant flow, and soldiers have no constant form. Perhaps after the spring, our army can defeat the Qin army?"
"I suggest that we wait and see. If that doesn't work, we can follow your majesty's plan and move south to force a break between the Qin and Qi armies."
Changsun Wuji spoke slowly.
No one wants to do that unless it's absolutely necessary.
At present, they can still gather an army of 700,000 and still have the strength to fight against the Qin State.
It wasn't a complete loss.
