Chapter 1805: The Prince, Truly Divine in Foresight

a low voice, "You're reluctant, but others are not I'm reluctant too, but what's the purpose of us guarding this city Isn't it to stop the Liao dogs and kill them"If there were another way to achieve...Chapter 1805: The Crown Prince, Truly A Sage Who Foresees All

Su Ping's words put immense pressure on Wu Yong.

He couldn't help but ask, "How can you be so sure that the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun will come here"

With a chuckle, Su Pingbei said, “Never definitive, just highly probable.”

"If they stay put, either they are prepared to surrender unconditionally or they intend to make a desperate last stand and charge directly at Your Highness's position. But they aren't idiots, Your Highness. They know exactly how many contingencies you have in place. Just the three hundred thousand Golden Army alone would be enough to crush any such attempt. Besides these two possibilities, is there a third reason they might choose to remain there"

“Since they don't want to surrender and dare not seek revenge from the prince, what else can they do but defect to the Liao army.”

Seeing Wu Yong's shocked expression, his eyes full of disbelief, Su Pingbei sighed and said: "General Wu, I see that you are indeed brave in battle, a valiant general. This confirms what His Highness said. Putting aside political stances, the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun truly deserve to be the empire's most elite cavalry unit. They dare to fight, can fight, and know how to fight. These three qualities are rare in any army across the nation. His Highness values talent, and I also cannot bear to see you go astray, so I say a few more words to you."

“Think carefully, from the moment you were tasked with defending Suiyang County to His Highness giving you command of the battle after presenting you with your Iron Pagoda, and then assigning you to escort me out of the pass. Now that the battle here is over, and His Highness's side has nearly finished their task, eliminating King Ning and dealing with the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun, the entire plan is a chain reaction. It shows that His Highness had already laid out his plans long ago. Everyone thought His Highness was defending Suiyang County to hold back the Liao army and prevent them from attacking Yulin Prefecture. But what he truly aimed for was to destroy King Ning's entire power base.”

"And this has now become the majority."

"Such a grand scheme, everyone has been implicated. The situation is irreversible now. What are you still clinging to Can one person really turn the tide Do you truly intend to lead your ten thousand brothers down this path to the bitter end"

Su Ping's words left Wu Yong's face contorted with deep conflict and struggle.

As far as that went, Su Pingbei didn't say anything more. He just stood quietly beside Wu Yong, giving him time and space to think things over.

At this moment, Wu Yong looked back at the iron-clad warriors who were watching him with concern, and then at the Qin army behind Su Pingbei. Suddenly, a deep sense of powerlessness washed over him.

Given their current power levels, he could easily crush Su Pingbei and the others. Then...then what

There is nothing left.

Dealing with Su Pingbei is easy, but the one who is truly difficult to deal with is never Su Pingbei himself, but rather the prince behind him, someone far away who controls everything.

Although the prince was absent, Wu Yong still felt his influence permeating everything around him.

If he turned against Su Pingbei, he would face endless fleeing, until all his brothers died in battle, and then it would be his turn.

Fleeing to the Liao Army

Wu Yong is not that foolish.

He knew this was a dead end, and there was no escape.

Just when Wu Yong was wrestling with his dilemma, a mighty rumble of marching troops approached from Wulong Mountain.

Wu Yong suddenly looked up and saw flags waving between the mountains and forests. Those flags were exactly the flags of the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders, which he knew all too well.

At this moment, Wu Xin could only feel one thing in his heart… the Crown Prince was truly as wise as they say!Chapter 1784: Evaluation
