There was a quick flicker of emotions on King Ping's face before he recomposed himself and gave a slight nod. "Hmm, makes sense."
As the Deputy General, Sun Zhanhe had an army of ten thousand under his command. If these troops were to be completely wiped out, it would deal a huge blow to the vitality of the Xi Jiang Military. The Ji Dynasty's most elite group of soldiers belonged to the Xi Jiang Military, so losing one-tenth of them would have a decisive effect on the situation between the Ji Dynasty and the Li Dynasty.
If he were to suffer such a great loss, the Chancellors and courtiers of the imperial court would surely rejoice, finally being able to find an excuse to transfer him away and revoke his military power. With that, they would then be able to help their beloved King Jing remove any obstacles to the Emperor's throne!
When Chu Li saw that King Ping had taken his opinion into consideration, he sighed to himself in relief.
