port, combined with your knowledge, scholars from all over the world would surely flock to it. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing"Mr. Mirror was taken aback. He knew Li Chen was tempting him, but face...Chapter 1781: Admit to Your Mistakes and Accept the Punishment

Wu Qingcang's mind raced, and he looked at Li Chen with inquiring eyes.

But Li Chen obviously didn't intend to explain further. He waved his hand and said, "If Wu Shuai thinks there's no problem with this arrangement, just call the two of them over."

Wu Qingcang nodded in understanding and took his leave.

After a brief moment, Wu Ban Shan and Su Ping Bei arrived before Li Chen together.

Su Pingbei's face was still covered in dust and grime, clearly he had just been through a fight.

"Just came back from the front line" Li Chen asked.

Su Ping grinned, stretching his lips. "I can't stand still, I don't know what to do if I'm not killing enemies. It's better to go to the front line and kill a few than to lie around in the rear. Today's battle went well; I personally killed a thousand-household officer from the Liao army. It felt really good."

Wu BanShan frowned and said, "You're quick to act, but you lingered in battle for too long trying to kill that Qian Hu, delaying the best time to retreat. Although you successfully killed Qian Hu, your team had to be rescued, forcing three nearby armies to change their planned operations."

Suping Bei said nonchalantly, "The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing. It's always about adapting to the circumstances. There's no point in rigidly sticking to a pre-set plan. If any plan once formulated would definitely be carried out, then every war would be easy to win."

Wu Ban Shan, hearing this, became enraged and retorted: “You are twisting words! While the battlefield does require adaptability, those changes were made out of necessity based on the situation. But today, you acted recklessly for personal glory, forcing your comrades to bear the consequences of your impulsiveness. You dare to act so self-righteous”

Su Ping looked at Wu Ban Shan and raised an eyebrow, saying: "General Wu, a thousand household of the Liao army is already a considerable commander on the battlefield. When the subordinate seized the opportunity, naturally he had to annihilate them all. If it was for the so-called plan, to watch the opportunity slip away and leave him to slaughter more of my comrades on the battlefield in the future!"

Wu Ban Shan was furious and about to speak when Li Chen calmly said, "Alright, everyone, let's just keep quiet."

Only then did they realize that arguing in front of Li Chen was a very irrational thing to do, so they hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed, saying: "We were disrespectful, Your Highness, please punish us."

Li Chen glanced at Su Pingbei without much emotion and said, “This palace already understands the general situation, you don't need to argue, you were wrong first.”

“You keep claiming that you killed a thousand-household leader of the Liao army and wiped out their entire force. That would certainly be a great military achievement. If it were confirmed, I wouldn't mind if your allied forces made some changes to the plan. However, from my observation of your words and actions, even before the battle began, you weren't confident that you could capture that Liao army force. In the end, because you were too eager for battle, you missed the opportunity to retreat.”

Su Pingbei's face flushed red, and he mumbled, "At that moment, I was carried away by my emotions and didn't think much. Besides, it was clear that with just a little more effort, I could have defeated the opponent..."

"That's really a forced argument."

Li Chen interrupted calmly, "That is to say, you win. If you lose, it's not just yourself who will be in deep trouble, but also the friendly forces around you who cooperated with you will also be trapped. Therefore, saying that you are greedy for success and reckless is not wrong."

Although Su Pingbei felt wronged, he didn't dare to retort in front of Li Chen even if he had a hundred guts. He immediately admitted his mistake and said, "This subordinate knows he was wrong."

"If you know you've done wrong, you should accept the punishment."

Li Chen pointed at Wu Ban Shan and said, "I'm giving you a new mission. You will be General Wu's deputy, assisting him in guarding Suiyang County."dents who hadn't finished their exams paled.
