At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"Don't praise me. I just racked my brains to come up with this."

"These local princes and noble families have all benefited from the blessings of their ancestors. They have been domineering in various places and have never contributed anything to the court. Now is the time for them to be loyal to Your Majesty." Censor Chen said proudly.

If you were to braid Censor Chen's hair into a pigtail now, it would definitely stick up to the sky.

He believed that the method he proposed now was far better than that of Ren Hao, Shen He and Zhao Pingan.

But the result was really bad. Wen Yan thought that his method was so stupid that it couldn't be stupider. It would be better not to mention it and just be a fence-sitter.

We have just implemented the public land system with iron-blooded means, and have made them give up large tracts of fertile land. Now we are asking them to donate their retainers and servants to join the war. They may very likely take advantage of the situation to rebel.

"Imperial Censor Chen, do you have no other solution? Your solution still needs to be discussed." Wen Yan still gave Imperial Censor Chen some face and did not refuse directly.

"This..." Censor Chen was speechless.

"My dear ministers, do you have any other ideas to break the siege of Ares Pass, or do you agree with any minister?" Wen Yan glanced at the ministers.

But everyone just looked at each other, and there was no better way.

As for those who support this point, everyone has his own opinion and there is no consensus.

Wen Yan was very dissatisfied and frowned as she asked, "Don't you have a better solution?"

"This..." All the ministers were silent. They were not satisfied with the solutions proposed by these four. So what better method could they come up with?

Seeing that all the ministers were at a loss, Ren Hao thought of another plan and said, "Your Majesty, I have another ingenious plan that can help us break the siege of Ares Pass."

"Go ahead." Wen Yan allowed.

"The Wei army has dispatched 500,000 troops to attack the Ares Pass. I estimate that the Northern Wei camp must be empty now, and there are not enough Wei soldiers guarding it. I suggest organizing a death squad to raid the Wei army camp, dig the waterway above, and flood the Wei army to lift the siege of the Ares Pass." Ren Hao proposed.

"I agree with this plan." Shen He immediately expressed his opinion, agreeing with Ren Hao's brilliant strategy.

"We also agree." Li Shiji and Chen Yushi also expressed their agreement.

"Hmph, what's the point of just saying you agree? Now that the War God Pass is under siege, where can we organize a death squad? And what about the waterway to the Wei army camp?"

"Is it possible to fly over here?"

"I still think it is better to ask for help from King Linnan, or if all else fails, adopt the method of Censor Chen." Zhao Ping'an immediately retorted, disagreeing with Ren Hao's strange plan.

"I don't agree either." The other ministers also echoed. After all, if this brilliant plan failed, it would be a useless suicide.

"A brilliant strategy will definitely be accompanied by risks. If you are not willing to take the risks, how can it be called a brilliant strategy?" Ren Hao immediately refuted the ministers, and at the same time pointed out that now all the Wei troops were marching to the War God Pass, and the Wei army camp was empty. They certainly could not expect that someone would raid the camp and catch them off guard.

"Your Majesty, there are many small paths leading to the Wei army camp. When the time comes, let the Han army soldiers disguise themselves as merchants and go their separate ways to attack the Wei army camp directly." Ren Hao then proposed. This was also the last plan he came up with after racking his brains.

If this strategy still doesn't work, then he really has no other options.

Wen Yan thought for a few seconds, nodded and said, "We can only take the risk and try this method."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to personally lead the death squad to launch a surprise attack on the Wei army camp to break the siege of the God of War Pass." Xu Qing asked for the order.

In his eyes, Ren Hao's surprise attack plan was much more reliable than asking for help, seeking peace, or forming an alliance.

"General Xu, this... this is absolutely not possible." Ren Hao was extremely surprised and wanted to stop Xu Qing from leading the death squad.

But Xu Qing smiled heartily and said nonchalantly: "Why is it absolutely impossible? Everyone will die one day anyway, and death is death no matter where it happens."

"Since General Xu is willing to go, I will now allocate to you 10,000 elite troops from the capital, and set off immediately to lift the siege of Zhanshen Pass." Wen Yan gave the order decisively.

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded in obedience.

Seeing that his nephew was going to die, Xu Tianyin panicked and said, "Your Majesty, can we change the head coach of the death squad? Xu Qing is my second brother..."

Xu Qing knew what his uncle was going to say, so he interrupted him immediately, "Uncle, please don't dissuade Your Majesty. If even I am unwilling to be the head coach of the death squad, then who will be willing to take on the responsibility? How can we convince the people?"

"Well, General Xu did not disappoint me. Regardless of whether you succeed or not on this trip, I and the people of the world will never forget you." Wen Yan praised his courage.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not let you down." Xu Qing thanked him again.

Ren Hao, who was sitting next to him, felt very uncomfortable and was really surprised.

His purpose in coming up with this cunning plan was to send others to die in order to break the siege of the God of War Pass, but what Ren Hao did not expect was that Xu Qing himself would propose to be the head coach of the death squad.

If Xu Qing really died on the way to the surprise attack on the Wei army camp, not to mention the situation of a fight to the death with the Xu family, it would be difficult to explain to Xu Yating.

Xu Tianyin who was standing next to him glared at Ren Hao, almost hating him to death. It was all his fault that he came up with such a crappy plan that caused his nephew to die.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to accompany General Xu on this trip, and I am willing to die with General Xu." Ren Hao asked the emperor.

Wen Yan frowned, wondering why Ren Hao was making trouble. Now was the time for reform and implementation of new policies in the court. If he died, who would do these things?

"My dear Minister Ren, why are you, a civil official, meddling in this? I still need you to do things in the court." Wen Yan refused immediately and did not allow Ren Hao to participate.

But Zhao Ping'an, who was standing by, saw that Ren Hao actually proposed to join the death squad and was willing to die with Xu Qing, thought this was a godsend opportunity to eliminate Ren Hao.

He immediately said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this plan was proposed by Sikong Ren. If Sikong Ren had assisted General Xu along the way, I believe this plan would have been twice as successful."

"Prime Minister Zhao is right. I am also quite familiar with the surrounding roads. If I can assist General Xu, then we will be twice as successful." Ren Hao nodded.

"Anyone can follow General Xu, but you can't. Just pray that General Xu can come back alive." Wen Yan still refused.

Ren Hao was helpless. It seemed that if he wanted to travel with Xu Qing, he could only do so insincerely.

"General Xu, you must come back alive." Ren Hao patted Xu Qing's shoulder, really not knowing what to say.

"I hope that I can bring everyone back alive on this trip." Xu Qing just smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, 10,000 elite troops from the capital have gathered outside the palace." The old eunuch bowed and walked into the cabinet to report.
