Chapter 1481: Who's For, Who's Against?

ung girls were sent to wealthy families as maidservants, these children who were once treasured by their parents, but now faced this harsh reality with no other choice.”The old man spoke, tears stream...Chapter 1481: Who's In Favor Who Opposes

Zhou Changshou's solution was simple and straightforward, without any fancy frills.

But this simple and crude countermeasure directly hit King Ning's personality weakness, making it highly feasible.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Chen remained silent before Zhou Changshou spoke again: "There is only one concern. If it were to truly happen, giving away half of Gansu and Shaanxi would be easy, but taking it back would be difficult. There's also the risk of raising a tiger to feed it."

Li Chen chuckled upon hearing this.

He'd begun to see the difference between Zhou Changshou and Zhou Ping'an.

Zhou Changshou's plan was straightforward and aboveboard, leaning towards open tactics. His approach was steady and predictable, without resorting to unconventional methods.

While Zhou Ping'an is the complete opposite, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Thus, the two individuals, like a bright and a dark sword, when used in different places, would yield vastly different results.

As long as the right people are used in the right things according to their temperaments, they will be divine soldiers.

He felt a twinge of gratitude towards King Ning at that moment. Fortunately, King Ning was ruthless and vindictive, exacting revenge for even the smallest slight. Otherwise, Zhou Changshou truly might not have fully pledged his loyalty to him.

"My lord, why are you laughing" Zhou Changshou asked.

"This palace finds amusement in your lack of understanding regarding politics."

Li Chen said calmly, "As for longevity, there's a saying that goes: A politician's mouth is dirtier than a courtesan's undergarments."

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire room was stunned.

For someone like Li Chen to say such things is indeed surprising.

The only one who didn't find it strange was Zhou Pingan. He laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness speaks truly. A promise is a promise, but who says it has to be kept At that time, we can just pick any reason. For example, the Gansu and Shaanxi regions are vast, with officials and local forces intertwined. The court needs to sort things out properly before dividing them. With such a reason, we can drag it on for three or five years."

"Who knows what the world will be like three or five years from now"

Zhou Changshou frowned and said, “With King Ning's temperament, I'm afraid he won't give up easily.”

"Well, then"

Zhou Ping'an spread his hands and said, "He already took what he could for free. Can he erase what he has done Resurrect those 600,000 Liao soldiers It would be too late to regret it then."

This remark caused Zhou Changshou to frown and then move away from Zhou Ping'an with a look of disgust.

He seemed to find Zhou Ping'an vulgar.

Zhou Ping'an let out a sneer, too lazy to argue with him.

Turning to Li Chen, he bowed and said, “Your Highness, there’s still one issue... the Jin state might not be so obedient.”

Li Chen raised an eyebrow, looked deeply at Zhou Ping'an, and said, "Among those who know me, you are one."

Li Chen's biggest worry was seen through by Zhou Ping'an at once.

The Jin state would never be so obedient.

At this moment, within the Jin army's tent, Huangji Tianzu sat at the top. The large tent was packed with all the high-ranking generals of this 300,000-strong army. Even ordinary thousand commanders were not qualified to enter.

The atmosphere inside the tent was heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

It was all because a long sword, already drawn and still bearing bloodstains, stood on the imperial platform before the Heavenly Emperor.

...And beneath the towering trees, two bodies lay on the ground, still warm.

The two corpses stared blankly at the top of the tent, their eyes wide with disbelief as if they still couldn't believe they had lost their lives here.

His fingers gently stroked the hilt of his sword, Huang Jitian's movements as tender as caressing a lover's skin. He spoke softly, "I've said what I needed to say. Now, I shall command the army in its entirety. Those who agree, raise your voice. Those who disagree, remain silent."n there and kill him yourself with that grim look on your face. Anyone could see it."Su Jin'pa said angrily, "Hou Yushou deserves to die or not, it doesn't matter. The key is his current identity. Tom...
