All of them are career soldiers, there's no reason they would make such a rookie mistake.

Amidst the flurry of activity, no one could tell if those brushing past them were comrades or not.

Xu Wei took advantage of this opportunity and quietly slipped into the Yueyaguan.

After much hardship, he finally found Xiao Tiannan.

Xiao Tiannan is also very busy at the moment.

As one of the few civilian officials accompanying Yelu Shenxuan on this trip, Xiao Tiannan was primarily responsible for tallying casualties and material losses. These figures needed to be immediately reported to Yelu Shenxuan.

So when he saw Xu Wei standing before him, he was taken aback at first, and then his face turned pale.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to remain calm, and said to his assistant beside him: "You count the casualties first. I'll go to the restroom and be right back."

Although the assistant was puzzled, he didn't dare ask too much. He respectfully agreed and took the work from Xiao Tiannan's hands.

Xiao Tiannan gave Xu Wei a look, then led him around to a deserted spot outside.

"Are you crazy! Coming back at this time, don't you know that once we're discovered, not only will you be dead, but I'll be dragged down with you!" Xiao Tiannan said angrily.

Xu Wei said expressionlessly, "The most dangerous place is the safest place. All along my journey, as long as I wear the clothes of Liao's army, who would question me"

Xiao Tiannan let out a cold snort and said, "Get to the point. I can't stay here for too long, or else I might be discovered."

Xiao Tiannan's eyes widened.

He was unaware of Li Chen's plan.

Therefore, in his view, Li Chen should immediately scurry away and hide.

But Li Chen not only didn't run, but from the looks of it, he seemed to want the Liao army to chase him out

When things are unusual, there must be a demon.

Xiao Tiannan was able to mix around with Yelu Shenxuan, he definitely wasn't a nobody.

He pondered for a moment, taking into account the casualty figures he had just compiled, and immediately understood.

The Liao army's capture of Yueya Pass this time was undoubtedly difficult, and they suffered considerable casualties.

But compared to pre-war estimates, it was far too easy.

Before the war, Yelü Shenxuan estimated that this battle would take at least two to three days, with casualties of at least 60% to 70%.

That means that nearly 490,000 Liao troops could be engaged in this battle, with almost 300,000 soldiers likely to perish.

According to Yelü Shenxuan, as long as casualties remain within four hundred thousand, it would be acceptable.

But even though the specific casualties haven't been fully tallied yet, based on current data, Xiao Tiannan estimates that the Liao army's losses amount to no more than 160,000 men.

And the entire battle lasted no more than eight hours.

Fast speed, small loss.

This looks like a happy occasion, but considering Li Chen's current request, Xiao Tiannan had a change of heart.

He turned pale, unable to contain the shock and even fear within him, as he stammered, "The...the Moonlit Gate, it was deliberately dropped by the Prince of Qin!"

Xu Wei's face was expressionless as he calmly said, "All you need to do is complete the tasks assigned by His Highness. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Xiao Tiannan gritted his teeth and said, “You speak so easily. Yelü Shenxuan has always been very determined. If he makes up his mind, even the emperor can't change it easily, let alone me You think too highly of me!” understand either. But since he has the favor of Your Lordship, he must have some ability."With a sneer, Li Chen said, "Then you know what this palace would have done if he had refused the position j...
