If it's a war, there must be a commander.

Otherwise, military orders would be in disarray, communication between the top and bottom would be disrupted, and information from below would not reach above. This battle simply couldn't be fought.

Even within the same country's military, different units with distinct numerical designations can be embroiled in power struggles due to competing claims over command authority.

Not to mention this time it's a joint operation between two countries, with hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides converging. This involves far more than just command authority over the military.

There are also issues between armies and different army formations.

Mutual animosity between commanders.

The issue of incompatibility between soldiers and soldiers.

Let's not talk about the long history of battles between the Jin Kingdom and the Great Qin Empire; they were enemies by nature. Even under pressure from Liao and the urging of both nations' leaders, they could put aside their grudges for now. However, language barriers and different training methods made cooperation difficult. It would be a miracle if they could avoid further conflict and chaos, let alone work together effectively.

The question about the Huangji Tian is very reasonable.

But his deeper meaning is still to vie for command.

Li Chen's mind was as clear as a mirror. He smiled ambiguously, without answering directly, but instead countered with, "What do you think, Thirteenth Brother"

Huangji Tian let out a hearty laugh and said, "I'm currently at a loss, unable to make a decision, which is why I sought your opinion."

Waving his hand, Li Chen said, "In my opinion, this command should not be given to anyone."

Huangji Tian frowned slightly, looking at Li Chen with a puzzled expression, and said: "What do you mean by that, Your Highness"

"You command your people, and I command mine."

Li Chen tapped himself and said, "If we designate a general as commander, no one below would be convinced. Even if they didn't say it on the surface, there would inevitably be friction when it came to actual execution. But war is no child's play, it's not a joke. So I intend for the two armies to cooperate, but with no allegiance. We will coordinate at the strategic level, but when it comes to tactics, each army just needs to cooperate in executing the guidelines we set."

"Thus, it can minimize friction and clashes between our generals. If there's anything that happens, you and I can resolve it properly ourselves. This seems to be the best solution for now."

Huangji Tian's mind was sharp, he immediately reacted and blurted out, "Your Highness, you want to personally lead the troops!"

As the commander of the 300,000 army of the Jin Kingdom, Huang Ji Tian would only be answerable to Li Chen himself, who was the only one in the entire Qin Empire qualified to speak with him and stand above him.

Li Chen also said, the emperor's extreme heaven commands the emperor's extreme heaven, and he himself commands his own.

Therefore, it is not difficult to conclude that Li Chen will personally lead the troops.

Even so, Huangji Tian still felt a little disbelief.

Although both were princes, their actual power differed greatly.

The entire Qin Empire now answers to Li Chen.

And this prince of his, to put it plainly, wouldn't even stand a chance against the Jin emperor, let alone the elder brother.

Huangji Tian thought Li Chen didn't need to take such risks personally.

"Here we go."

Li Chen nodded, giving Huangji Tian an affirmative reply.

He looked in the direction of Gansu Yueya Guan and said, "This trip, this palace must go."

Seeing this, Huangji Tianzong had thousands of words he wanted to say but couldn't utter a single one.

With the desire to seize command completely extinguished from his heart, Huangji Tian sincerely said, “Your Majesty’s courage is beyond my reach.”Chapter 839: Transmigrating into Beauty
