Everyone held their breath and looked at General Chen.

And General Chen, gritting his teeth, said: “We cannot surrender.”

"Once it's down, I have nowhere left to die."

Someone couldn't hold back and said, "We can't retreat, and we can't surrender. What should we do then Are we just going to wait here to die"

General Chen's eyelids twitched as he scanned the faces before him, saying, "My lords, I do have a plan, but it is too ruthless. If we execute it poorly, all of us will die without a whole corpse. Even if we succeed, you and I will carry the burden of infamy for millennia. If you don't want to die and still wish to make your mark, then listen to me."

"If anyone is afraid of taking responsibility, they can leave now. The situation has changed drastically. Those who have other options are welcome to seek them out; no one will stop you. But once you leave here, no one will be responsible for your life or death."

Upon hearing this, someone immediately said: "General Chen, just tell us what your plan is. Let the brothers hear it first before we make a decision. As for leaving, that's impossible. Outside, it's freezing cold with snow everywhere. We are facing an imminent battle; where could we possibly run to"

General Chen nodded. Seeing that no one had left, he said: “Right now, our biggest asset is 150,000 troops. Even if Wu Yong's 10,000 Iron Flotilla isn't here, we still have a full complement of 140,000. These 140,000 men are the capital for everyone's survival in the future. We can't surrender, and since we can't rebel either, then we might as well take our brothers to join the Liao army!”

“Although the Liao army appears to be high in spirits at present, everyone knows the true situation. With our joining them, they can at least control half of Gansu and Shaanxi. Before the king, their territory was all theirs, so they will definitely welcome us. As long as we maintain our independence and integrity, and demand that after the success, only garrison in the Gansu and Shaanxi region, the Liao army must accept this condition. Then, we will be a third party independent of both Liao and Qin. As for what happens next, we can only wait and see step by step.”

After a pause, General Chen said, "I've finished what I had to say. Now it's your turn to make a decision."

As soon as General Chen finished speaking, several generals deeply regretted staying. They should have gritted their teeth and left just now instead of listening to this.

These regretful generals, for the most part, still had some blood and conscience in their bones.

But now, they can't leave even if they wanted to.

Everyone looked at each other, their faces pale with shock.

Now they finally understood what General Chen meant when he said that even if they succeeded, they would have to bear the blame.

This is more than just a slur, it's treasonous. To betray one's own people and side with the Liao, as a Qin person, will forever shame them and their families.

But... this seems better than dying.

General Chen spoke in a low voice: "Everyone, time is running out. You need to make a decision as soon as possible, or it will be too late!"

"This method is ruthless, even cutting off our own escape route. But to be honest, if we can't even protect our own lives, what use are loyalty and righteousness Living is the most important thing!"

General Chen's words shook many people.

After all, the facts are clear: they appear to have a choice, but in reality, they have no room for maneuver.

Whether it was surrender or rebellion, under the premise of death, pledging allegiance to the Liao army seemed to be the only way out.e by piece.
