Yelü Shenxuan looked at Xiao Tiannan and said with emotion: "If the civil and military officials around me were as wise and loyal as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much about many things."

Xiao Tiannan, who was very likely the biggest traitor in Liao history, felt a complex and confusing mix of emotions upon hearing this.

Heaven knows, when he was devoted to the Liao Kingdom before, things didn't go well for him.

But now he has become a traitor, his status in Yelu Shenxuan's eyes has soared.

The world is impermanent, that's probably all there is to it.

Although you don't want a reward, I can't help but give you one.

Yelü Shenxuan said: "I want everyone to know that as long as they are loyal to me and useful to me, then riches and honors will be within easy reach."

"Having said that, Yelü Shenxuan, with a mighty wave of his hand, declared grandly: 'I reward you with one hundred taels of gold, ten beautiful women, and ten bolts of silk!'"

One hundred ounces of gold, ten beautiful women, and ten bolts of silk!

This would be a huge fortune, no matter who it belonged to in the Liao Kingdom.

After all... the Liao Kingdom was too poor.

These rewards would be enough to make any Liao citizen ecstatic.

But to Xiao Tiannan... that's it!

To know, the amount of money he could get from his good friend in the capital every month was more than this. If he completed a task, the reward would be so much that it was questionable whether it was real.

Now that all the gold and silver treasures he had hidden are brought out, even Yelu Shenxuan would envy him.

This is the difference in wealth between Qin and Liao.

The Liao Kingdom was powerful, but its endless wars drained its resources. It was too impoverished.

The Qin Dynasty might have been weak and not wealthy, but its treasury was substantial. Even a small leak would be more generous than the Liao Kingdom's entire fortune.

It was precisely for this reason that the Liao Kingdom dreamed of obtaining the fertile land and vast territories of the mighty Qin Dynasty.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Tiannan chose to pledge allegiance to the Qin Dynasty.

Having grown accustomed to wealth, Xiao Tiannan scoffed at this meager reward inwardly. He immediately cast aside any guilt he felt and instead, wore an expression of immense excitement and gratitude on his face as he bowed and said, “My humble servant thanks the Crown Prince for his generous gift!”

Ye Lu Shen Xuan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Come on, let's go prepare for battle together!"

When Yelu Shenxuan decided to send troops, a fierce debate was still raging within the Qin army's temporary camp.

"In a nutshell, I still believe the Liao army is unlikely to cross the border. After all, their strategic objective from the start was to capture Yinyang Pass, and now they've achieved that. They've also suffered heavy casualties. How could they possibly muster the troops to pursue us"

A leading general of the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry said resolutely, “In short, we must now consider what to do if the Liao army does not cross the border.”

Zhou Ping'an said calmly, "You are worrying too much. There's no need to consider that. If you have to consider everything like this, would everyone worry about choking to death before every meal"

The general angrily retorted, "What makes you so sure the Liao army will definitely come out of the pass"

"What makes you think they definitely won't leave the country" Zhou Pingan immediately retorted.

That general was hopping mad.

At this moment, Li Chen spoke up to interrupt the pointless argument between the two, and directly gave his conclusion, "The Liao army will definitely march out of the pass!"

Li Chen spoke, and though the general had his reservations, he didn't say anything more.

There is a huge power imbalance; he's not qualified to speak directly with Li Chen.

But the King of Ning had it.

King Ning smiled and said, "Your Highness, this king understands your feelings, but to be so decisive is a bit too self-assured."ry.This also gave Li Canglan a sense of "as expected," but at the same time, she felt helpless being swept up in the whirlpool of power struggles."Your Highness."Li Canglan said to Li Chen, “Taking aw...
