Hu Yan Zhuo's expression indeed became difficult.

All the information gathered so far confirms that Zhao Tailai's words are true.

Hu Yan Zhuo stared at Zhao Tailai and said in a deep voice, "Apart from the intelligence, what else have you brought"

Zhao Tai, from a smile with Xinxian, said: "I also brought a way to resolve the crisis for the general."

Without hesitation, Zhao Tai came forward and said, "Although the Qin army has a larger number of soldiers, their combat ability is inferior to that of the Liao army. Furthermore, they are unfamiliar with the terrain and the weather is also unfavorable to them. Thus, with all three factors of time, place, and people being disadvantages, they pose no threat at all."

"Right now, the general has two options. The first is to tighten ranks and hurry through this stretch of road. If the Qin army attacks, we fight them head-on. This option is safe but passive because it's at least a day and a half to the front lines, and that could be longer if the weather worsens."

Within this shortest time of a day and a half, we will have to pass through many dangerous sections, and we don't know where the Qin army might set up ambushes. And once we suffer losses, if the general goes to the front line, he will inevitably be blamed by the prince.

Casting a glance at Huyan Zhuo's displeased expression, Zhao Tai smiled faintly and said, "There's a second way, that is to take the initiative."

“As I just said, the Qin army is at a disadvantage in terms of time, place, and people. Generals and warriors need not fear them at all. Divide our troops into more than two thousand, taking advantage of the fact that the wind and snow haven't completely covered our tracks, to pursue them and utterly defeat them. They are currently suffering from the cold, imagining how to ambush us, but never expecting us to take the initiative and attack first.”

The downside of this is that it's risky; the general's warriors could fail. But the upside is that it takes the initiative and ensures the food and supplies are safe.

After Zhao Tailai's speech, Huyan Zhuo almost without hesitation leaned towards the latter.

In his eyes, the Qin army was now just a pack of bereaved dogs, absolutely no match for the wolf-like sons under his command.

Thus, Hu Yan Zhuolie did not hesitate and immediately ordered his troops to be divided into two thousand. He also dispatched two of his most valiant generals to lead the charge and personally pursue the Qin army.

After the order was given, Hu Yan Zuo looked at Zhao Tai with a smile and asked: "I'm very curious, you are also a Han Chinese, helping us non-Han people deal with your own countrymen. Don't you feel any guilt"

Huyanzhu's words were fierce, causing those around him to look at each other meaningfully.

Their eyes looked at him like he was a monkey.

Zhao Tailai remained composed and said calmly, "Although I was born a Han Chinese, that cannot be changed. But now, I more readily identify as the son-in-law of the Guza tribe, and the Guza tribe are true people of the grasslands."

"Haha!"

"Huyan Zuo clapped Zhao Tai on the shoulder and said, 'No matter what, we Khitan people are very impressed with your discerning nature as a Han. You're unlike those spineless sheep; you're much smarter. I hope you continue to work hard and help us deal with the Han people, because only they truly understand them.'"

Amidst the surrounding laughter, Zhao Tailei also had a faint smile on his lips.

As if he too found Huyan Zhuo's words amusing. your impulsive nature!"Fu Yuzhi said in a low voice, “Do you think the position of Minister of the Door is easy to sit on As you said, those below me pay lip service but disobey. The real power I can...
