Chapter 235: Losing the Argument

feeling that his Highness was even crueler than himself. With this single strike, I fear that the Zhao Wangfu would be left with nothing but its walls."Enough."Li Chen said lightly, "Right now, there...Chapter 235: Arguing and Losing

When facing Li Chen, the perpetrator, Su Jinpa couldn't look at him favorably.

She sat down at the piano, her arms crossed on her lap. She turned away from Li Chen, her face sullen.

Such a childish act from the little girl made Li Chen burst into laughter.

But he didn't care about Su Jinpa who was unhappy, instead he beckoned to Su Pingbei who was dutifully guarding in the distance.

Su Ping ran over with a flattering smile on his face. The more Su Jinpa looked at it, the angrier he became, feeling that his brother was just like San Bao's eunuch.

"Your Highness, will you not sleep a while longer"

Su Pingbei came to Li Chen's face and asked with concern.

"I'm not going to sleep."

Li Chen stretched and lay down on the lounge chair, clearly not intending to get up. He said, "I've been thinking about this for several days and haven't slept well. Just a short nap will do. Otherwise, your sister's anger might reach the sky."

Su Jinpa snorted coldly, "You talk about things just talk about them, don't bring it on me. If you want to sleep, sleep. If you want to lie down, lie down. Who else dares to chase you away"

"Sir! How dare you speak to His Highness like that"

Su Pingbei frowned and let out a snort before bowing to Li Chen. "Your Highness, my younger sister is poorly disciplined and has been disrespectful to you. Please punish her as you see fit."

"It's fine."

Li Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let bygones be bygones."

Su Jinpa's beautiful eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this, and she was furious.

At this moment, Li Chen changed the subject to something she didn't dare to interrupt easily.

"Have you heard about your new assignment today"

Su Ping's eyes were full of joy and excitement. He clasped his fists together and said, "I have already received the formal appointments from the Ministry of War and the Five Armies Inspectorate. The last general thanks Your Highness for his trust. The last general will surely go through fire and water, vowing not to rest until the little Japanese pirates in Dongying are defeated..."

Raising his hand to interrupt Su Pingbei's unnutritious words, Li Chen said: “In terms of national strength alone, even though the Qin Dynasty is now in decline, it is far from comparable to those barbarian pirates of the Eastern Isles who barely understand iron weapons and live on raw meat.”

"So in this battle, as long as you’re not a coward, whether you make any elaborate plans or just let your soldiers charge into melee combat, you'll win."

Su Ping stood respectfully in place, listening to Li Chen's words. However, the more he heard, the worse he felt.

So you're saying that even tying a dog to this position could work

Although unconvinced, Su Pingbei still listened patiently.

When Li Chen finished speaking, he said: "Your Highness, we should not be too complacent..."

"Underestimating the enemy is wrong, but one should strategically despise them while tactically respecting them."

Li Chen interrupted Su Pingbei with a famous saying from a later-day great man. He continued, “However, this position is indeed the most suitable for you. Your father’s prestige and ability are enough. But he is now the last fig leaf of the current Qin Dynasty. For the Xian Chao to send troops, he exposed the country’s bottom cards. What does this mean”

Besides, your father's current position is not suitable for him to be a frontline commander. He can only serve as a pillar of the military by staying in the capital.

"Other people either don't have the guts or the ability."

"In this battle, this palace has only one requirement, and that is victory!"

"If we lose, my military power will be greatly threatened by the cabinet. They will have reason to seize power because this war was forcibly pushed by me. If something goes wrong, I can only take the responsibility."portant task now is to take good care of those two people. If anything goes wrong, none of your heads will be safe."The man, kneeling on one knee, immediately bowed his head and said, "Please rest ass...
