The Heavenly Strategy Emperor Versus the Court's Khan! (Please Subscribe and Vote with Monthly Tickets)

Early that morning, inside the central command tent, Li Chen listened in bewilderment as a general delivered his report.

Tuoba Zhen wanted to challenge him to single combat?

He had been worrying about how to lure Tuoba Zhen out, only for Tuoba Zhen to come out on his own?

"Your Majesty, Tuoba Zhen is brave, but he is no fool. I fear there may be a trap."

Guo Poyun immediately spoke up beside him.

From what he knew of Tuoba Zhen, the man sometimes seemed reckless, but he was probably meticulous at heart.

He merely acted crude; that did not mean he truly was.

Tuoba Zhen was arrogant, but he had the strength to back it up, and he knew when to rein himself in.

Before becoming Khan, he had always concealed his ambitions and bided his time.

Now that Tuoba Zhen had proposed a duel with Li Chen, he surely had a trump card-in other words, he had planned this.

Precisely because he did not know what schemes the enemy had up his sleeve, Guo Poyun thought it was risky and saw no reason for Li Chen to act recklessly.

The other generals, however, held different opinions.

"Your Majesty, why fear him before our two armies? If he dares resort to trickery, the might of our army will leave him without even bones to bury!"

"Tuoba Zhen is merely a jackal or a tiger. How could he compare to Your Majesty's heavenly might? I believe we should deal him a crushing blow and teach him just how high heaven is and how deep the earth runs!"

"Your suggestions are unwise. I believe we should err on the side of caution and send someone else to duel Tuoba Zhen first, to sound out his strength."

Discussion filled the command tent.
