"You... you! You!"
Huángjì Tiān pointed at Lǐ Chén, his face contorted with rage and sorrow: "You are a disgrace to humanity!"
"Hey, are you (a derogatory term for Russians) still trying to be clever and insult people"
Li Chen laughed and said, "Anyway, that's the situation. What do you have to say about it"
Huangji Tian wore a grim expression and said, "What can I say The domestic factions won't agree. My father might want to fight, but the other clans might not. The relationships here are intricate, with everyone having their own calculations. Even a significant portion advocate for an alliance with the Liao kingdom, aiming to eliminate your Great Qin first before turning their attention elsewhere. How can I possibly return and speak on such matters"
"Don't you Jurchens understand the principle of 'lips and teeth are connected' Of the three kingdoms, Liao is the strongest. Our two countries are roughly equal in strength. If you want to cooperate, it should be with me first to deal with Liao. Cooperation with Liao resulted in previous defeats, hasn't that lesson been enough"
“You collaborate with the Liao Kingdom, even if you exhaust all your nation’s resources to destroy my Great Qin, but for millennia the Central Plains region has never been ruled by outsiders. Even when regimes collapse, there are always countless folk heroes who rise up. At that time, you will face the unified resistance of all descendants of Yanhuang. Do you think the Liao Kingdom would handle this themselves, or would they push your Jin Kingdom to the front lines as cannon fodder”
The Emperor of the Sky, Huangji, knew that Li Chen was telling the truth. But he didn't want to let Li Chen gloat, so he stubbornly said: "Our Jin Kingdom isn't a fool, we wouldn't let them manipulate us."
Li Chen exclaimed in surprise, "You guys don't even understand the principle of 'lips and teeth depend on each other,' are you fools Back then, your Jin Dynasty had already been depleted. It would have been easy for the Liao Kingdom to destroy you."
"You think that with Yelu Shenxuan and Yelu Manhuang's personalities, they would just push you to the front lines as cannon fodder"
"What if you guess again, and they turn their heads and chop off your heads"
Huangji Tian's mouth twitched, and his face grew even more unsightly.
Suddenly, Huangji Tian turned his head and looked at Li Chen expressionlessly: "Now that you've just quelled the rebellion in Beijing, logically speaking, it should be time to consolidate internal affairs and recuperate. Why are you so eager to ask me for troops... Damn it, didn't those 600,000 iron riders outside Yueya Pass start gathering at the gate!"
Li Chen gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "As expected of the prince sent by your Jin country, you really have some skills. You guessed right."
The Emperor of the Heavenly Polarity ignored Li Chen's praise and laughed angrily, saying: "You are quite clever. When Liao State attacked you, you spun a web of lies to try and get our Jin State involved in this mess"
"This muddy water, if you don't step into it now, when the time comes, the flood will reach your heads."
Li Chen said lazily, "Hurry up and give me an accurate answer. When can we deploy troops"
The Heavenly Emperor, Huangji, jumped to his feet and said, “I can’t even guarantee that I can persuade those clan members now. How can I tell you when to send troops”
Huangji Tian said with a pained expression, “Our Jin nation is different from your Qin nation. In our Jin nation, there are eight banners in total: two yellow flags, two white flags, two blue flags, and two red flags. Within these eight banners, there are upper three banners and lower five banners, and they often conflict and struggle with each other. It's almost impossible for them to reach a consensus.”
Let's not beat around the bush, a few years back my father wanted to reopen the Imperial Academy. Well, of the other seven banners, four of them immediately opposed it, excluding our two loyal ones. They made my father so angry he smashed his beloved ram-horn cup, but there was nothing he could do in the end and it just fell through.huan, as the second-in-command of the Zhao Xuanji Group within the Cabinet, is a key figure. The Crown Prince aiming to take him down signifies a power struggle at the very heart of the imperial cour...
