alking towards Li Chen, was about to bow. Li Chen waved his hand and said, "No need for ceremony outside."Liu Sichun responded with a sound and walked behind Li Chen."How's the market lately" Li Chen...Chapter 1720: The Four Seasons of Qin

The Suiyang County government office was bustling with people.

Li Chen stood to one side, alongside Huangji Tian, while across from them, King Ning sat motionless in his chair.

Besides the three of them, high-ranking generals from all walks of life crowded the hall.

At this moment, Wu Ban Shan was arguing with a high-ranking general from the Jin Army, their faces flushed. Adding fuel to the fire, Wu Yong, hailing from the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders, occasionally chimed in, and generals from both sides also joined the fray, supporting their respective commanders. The hall was abuzz with activity.

"That's utter nonsense!"

Wu Ban Shan's face flushed red, saliva flying from his mouth as he roared, "If you haven't studied military strategy, go back and study for another two years before arguing with this general! This general has deployed four thousand sharpshooters at Tiger Jump Cliff in the south, along with six Red-Cloaked cannons. This is enough to cover the entire hillside facing the sun on most of Mount Wolong. How dare you say that this deployment is not sound!"

The Jin army general, who had been spat on by Wu Ban Shan, did not back down. He retorted loudly, “I didn’t say your arrangement wasn't safe, but your entire plan is unsafe. Tiger Jumping Cliff is located south of Wolong Mountain and the terrain there is extremely dangerous. Not to mention how we would transport the heavy, over a thousand-jin red armored cannon up there, even with so many men, do you think the Liao army are blind”

According to the plan, Suiyang County was bound to be given to the Liao army. They would enter Wulong Mountain from Suiyang, and to their left was Tiger Jumping Cliff. Anyone with even a basic understanding of military strategy knows that they would send scouts to search for all the dangerous terrain prone to ambushes along the way. Placing your four thousand men and the Red-Cloaked Cannons here would be disastrous. Once discovered by the Liao army, at best, your plan would be exposed, forcing them to change their route; at worst, they would bring five thousand soldiers to crush your four thousand elite archers. Then, your four thousand archers would be facing the Liao army with Tiger Jumping Cliff behind them, leaving only one option: utter annihilation!

Seeing the two men arguing fiercely, Wu Yong put on an air of trying to mediate, saying, "Now now, gentlemen, please calm down. General Wu, actually what the Jin army general said isn't completely unreasonable. But General Jin, you should also consider if perhaps you are being a bit too self-assured"

Wu Yong's attempt to mediate the dispute, while not entirely useless, only served to exacerbate the situation.

This led to Wu Ban Shan and the Jin army commander each fueling their rage even further.

"Thirteenth Brother, how is the scenery in Gansu and Shaanxi regions"

While the generals argued, turning red with anger, under the same roof, Li Chen and Huang Ji Tian seemed to share a tender, ambiguous air.

Li Chen still had the leisure to ask Huangji Tian about his travel experiences.

Huangji Tian also showed no sign of anger, smiling and saying: "Coming here for the first time, I feel that the scenery is desolate with yellow sand blowing everywhere. With the falling snow, it does have a bit of the grandeur and boldness of a Northwest King, like the celestial wolf, but after looking at it for a long time, it becomes boring. Then there's the hardship. This place is too barren. No matter which direction you look in, no matter how long you stare, it's either snow or sand, incredibly dull."

Li Chen let out a light chuckle and said, “The territory of the Qin Dynasty is vast. One can ice skate and make snowmen on the frozen north, or cruise and compose poetry in the spring of Jiangnan. After gazing at the desolate yet magnificent northwest wind and sand, one can also go to the southeast to witness the summer sea stretching as far as the eye can see. If there's an opportunity, this palace will definitely act as a guide and take the Thirteenth Brother to appreciate every sight.”

Huangji Tian Haha laughed and said, “That will take quite a while.”

"Take it slow. For example, this year you experienced the sandstorms of the northwest, so next year, or the year after, a boat trip to the south of the Yangtze River wouldn't be bad either." Li Chen chuckled lightly. kept for research.”"Some time ago, Minister Xu of the Ministry of Household Affairs proposed that the ministry should purchase this portion of sweet potatoes.
