Snatching Wu Qingcang's wine bowl, Li Chen slammed it on the table and then poured a full cup of wine for Wu Qingcang clumsily.

Finished, Li Chen turned and faced Wu Ban Shan.

"Your Highness!"

Wu Banshan was even less capable than Wu Qingcang. He stood up directly, his face full of flattered astonishment: "This is truly beyond my capabilities."

Li Chen said in a deep voice: "General Wu has been the commander of Yueya Pass for nearly ten years. During these ten years, it was the peak period of Liao army activity. They took advantage of the fact that there were no strong troops within the territory of Great Qin and the court was weak, so the support for Yueya Pass gradually decreased. Yueya Pass almost entirely relied on its own strength to withstand one attack after another. The hardships involved are beyond the comprehension of outsiders, so how could it be otherwise"

Li Chen's words touched even Wu Ban Shan, whose normally ironclad personality was moved to tears.

He didn't insist any further, letting Li Chen pour him a full glass of wine.

After Wu Ban Shan, it was other generals.

Li Chen went straight to Wang Dazhao first.

...unexpectedly, Wang Dazhao didn't shield his wine bowl or say anything inappropriate. He simply stood up and said loudly, "I never thought that even old Wang would have a day when he was poured wine by the Prince! This cup of wine, even if old Wang went to hell, he could brag about it with the King Yama for two days." ...

Li Chen laughed and pointed at Wang Dazhao, saying to the crowd, “See This is what a bachelor is like, this is what a tough guy is like.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Chen poured wine for Wang Dazhao and said, "The war at Yuèyáguān has always been difficult. Without the efforts of all of you generals, even if the soldiers of Great Qin were exceptionally brave, they would be like loose sand. Even with Wu Shuai and General Wu possessing extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible to achieve victory without the necessary resources."

“Actually, the one who feels the most pressure is all of you generals.”

"I am responsible to the soldiers below, and to General Wu and Marshal Wu above."

Sometimes, work is difficult, battles are tough, there's no support, yet you still have to persevere.

The reputation of Yueya Pass wasn't built by any famous general, but by brave soldiers like yourselves, who accumulated it through generations of bloodshed and hard-fought victories.

By this point, Li Chen had poured drinks for the dozen or so high-ranking generals gathered at the large round table and returned to his own seat.

Pouring himself another cup, Li Chen raised his wine bowl and said, "This cup of wine, I toast to all of you."

When Li Chen finished speaking, the many generals were all inexplicably excited.

They are actually quite simple.

Need recognition, true recognition.

It's not just polite flattery.

At this moment, everyone can feel the sincerity of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Everyone stood up, holding their wine cups in both hands, and shouted, "We thank Your Highness!"

Li Chen laughed aloud upon hearing this, raising his head and drinking it all in one gulp.

After Li Chen, everyone drank up the wine in their bowls, not a drop left.

The liquor went down like a burning knife, slashing directly from the throat to the stomach. Immediately after, it felt as if a flame had ignited in the stomach, spreading throughout the limbs and bones. Exhaling a mouthful of alcohol vapor diluted the strong taste in his mouth, Li Chen exclaimed, "Good wine!"

"Your Highness," Wu Banshan laughed, "the wine at Yueya Pass is brewed with the worst grain. It's not for the taste, but to keep warm in the cold."

Li Chen said seriously: "There are many more expensive wines in the capital, and they are all fine wines. But those wines are too gentle, their character is far inferior to the wine here. This wine is what a man should drink, strong enough and spicy enough."replied, "I will go right away."Half an hour after his departure, a carriage stopped at the back gate of Zhao Mansion. Li Yinhu, shrouded in a black robe, entered through the back gate and headed stra...
