Li Ji didn't want to wait another moment. If Li Liao hadn't stopped him, he would have launched the attack right then and there.
At Li Liao's urging, they finally set the attack for midnight tonight.
The dead of night, when people were most likely to let their guard down, was the perfect time for a surprise attack.
Next was to finalize the plan of attack.
Li Ji and Bian Ziming knew the city's defenses like the back of their hands. As the saying goes, "know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat." With this advantage, they quickly formulated the best possible plan.
Just then, Chen Wangbei rushed in.
"Reporting to the Prince, Elder Zhong'an requests an audience."
Everyone in the tent was stunned.
Li Ji stood up. "Who did you say is here?"
Chen Wangbei explained the situation.
It turned out the new emperor had specifically appointed Elder Zhong'an as an envoy to negotiate with the Regent King.
