Chapter 148 Conferring the Title of King of Liao



As he spoke, Li Qin carefully examined the memorial in his hand.

The memorial in his hand was written in great detail.

The text not only describes the development of the situation but also evaluates the fighting capabilities of peasant armies led by Li Hongji.
