Chapter 1591: Heart Knot

from the palace to Jingshan Temple in the most devout manner to pray for blessings. Someone will naturally spread the word about your filial piety at that time.”Li Yinhu's eyes lit up upon hearing th...Chapter 1591: Heart Knot

"Actually, the Crown Prince is overthinking things."

Xiao Tiannan bowed his hand, and the words that came out of his mouth indeed caught Yelu Shenxuan's attention.

"What does that mean" Yelu Shenxuan frowned and asked.

With a wry smile, Xiao Tiannan said, "I'm just a scholar, I don't understand war. But let me tell you, even an illiterate commoner would understand this simple truth."

“Whether it's a strategy or a conspiracy, no matter what you do, there must be one condition: the return must outweigh the cost. Only then is it worth doing.”

For example, when businessmen conduct transactions, the selling price must be higher than the purchase price to make a profit.

For example, when two countries clash, no matter what schemes they devise, they must ultimately aim for greater gains to justify the upfront costs.

"As for this matter, right now, I truly can't think of anything that would lead the Qin army to abandon the Moonlit Pass and deliberately appear weak."

“The strategic importance of Yueya Pass, even I understand it, Qin has almost completely relied on this pass to stop our Liao for so many years. If there was no Yueya Pass, the territory of Qin would have long become pastureland for my Liao. Therefore, Yueya Pass is the most important place. How could they use the safety of Yueya Pass as a price to plot any conspiracy”

"Even if there's a conspiracy, it's absolutely impossible to bet on the Moonlit Gate!"

Xiao Tiannan spoke with absolute certainty, saying: "To put it improperly, it's like our Liao Kingdom using the prince's life and the safety of Langting to set up a conspiracy. What kind of thing would be worth doing this for There is none."

Having heard Xiao Tiannan's words, Yelü Shenxuan slowly nodded and said, "Not bad, what you said makes some sense."

Xiao Tiannan clasped his hands and said, "Prince, no matter what schemes the Qin army has, they are meaningless in the face of an overwhelming power difference. Just as a strong warrior from the grasslands would not care about a three-year-old child waving their stick, our Liao army is powerful enough. As long as we push forward like a force of nature, those tricks the Qin army uses will be useless."

Yelü Shenxuan's brows relaxed, and he smiled lightly: "That's a good point. In the face of an absolute disparity in strength, any fancy so-called schemes are just jokes."

"Come, let's go to the front lines and have a look."

After unknotting his heart, Yelü Shenxuan felt refreshed and invigorated.

Right now, the battle is progressing smoothly and victory seems within reach. This moment instantly dispelled Yelü Shenxuan's original gloomy mood.

Most importantly, the anxious feelings caused by the sudden heavy snowfall have eased considerably.

No one knows the amount of pressure he endured to hold on, as the Wolf Den had already grown discontent with his persistent attacks on Crescent Gate. The vast majority of the Wolf Den's noble families believed that they should immediately withdraw their troops and return home to prepare for winter, rather than risking their soldiers' lives at Crescent Gate.

Even the Liao Dynasty emperor, Yelü Manhuang, did not fully support his one-sided decisions. Several secret letters revealed a desire for him to return.

But Yelü Shenxuan was unwilling to accept this.

He silenced all opposition, using his authority to suppress dissent, including that of Yelu Man'er.: "Your Highness, please spare my life! Your Highness, please spare me!"Li Chen said indifferently, "Bring the person in."The palace guard held a sword to the young noble's back, forcing him to kneel...
