What did you say! ? "
What arrogant words this is.
Sun Qi said: "I am saying that Xue Wu and others have a false reputation and are just people to be slaughtered."
Qiu Rong suddenly showed a strange expression.
He didn't know whether to say that this young man didn't know the heights of the world, or whether he should say that he was brave.
But this was recommended by his mentor, and with his temperament, it was impossible to make such a joke.
After frowning secretly, he said quietly: "It can be seen from the first step that Xue Wu has fought more than thirty battles, big and small, and rarely lost."
"I've heard a little bit about it." Sun Qi said calmly.
"In this case, how dare you speak arrogantly and despise today's famous generals." Qiu Rong said.
"I'm not belittling myself, it's just that there are flaws in Xue Wu's use of troops."
"Where is the flaw?"
"The Liang army likes to plunder cities when they fight, and they don't pay much attention to logistical supply lines. To them, the materials in the city are just food and grass."
Sun Qi said: "But if we adopt the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the city, the Liang army will not dare to march straight in."
"This is just a very simple little strategy, but our coach wants to fight a tough battle with Xue Wu. This is to use the short attack to win the long term, so that An You can be invincible."
"Soldiers are the place of life and death, the way of survival, and are related to the safety of the country. If a general acts with his will, not only hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be killed or injured."
"Therefore, the prime minister must pay attention to this."
Hearing this, Qiu Rong said solemnly: "Are you saying that there is something wrong with the tactics of General Xiang Ge, the commander-in-chief of the Huan Army?"
"Isn't it obvious enough?" Sun Qi said directly.
"Okay." Qiu Rong sighed, then looked at Sun Qi and said: "The truth of what I said is known, but military and national affairs are not decided by me alone, and now my king is instigated by a group of ministers to cede Fu'an, The intention of seeking peace is that at this time, if we talk about war, it will be ineffective."
"What did the Prime Minister say? Cede Fu'an?" Sun Qi's eyes widened.
Perhaps he didn't expect him to have such a reaction, Qiu Rong nodded helplessly: "Yes."
"No!" Sun Qi was so anxious that he even stood up: "If Fu'an is ceded, Huan will be in danger! The prime minister should dissuade the king!"
"I have persuaded you, but there are too many peace-seeking factions in the court, so it has no effect." Qiu Rong glanced at him, then pressed his hands and said, "Sit down first."
"This!" Sun Qi sat back blankly. After a pause, he rolled his eyes and said, "I can persuade the king to give up the cession of land regarding Fu'an, but the prerequisite is that the Prime Minister needs to take me into the court."
"Oh? Do you have any idea?" Qiu Rong was shocked.
"Yes." Sun Qi answered simply.
Qiu Rong pondered.
He strongly opposed the cession of territory. If he could successfully persuade King Huan, he might as well give it a try.
It is not difficult for the prime minister of a country to bring someone into the court, and the worst he can do is get a reprimand.
This is another talent recommended by his mentor. Maybe he really has some good strategies.
Thinking of this, Qiu Rong nodded secretly and said: "Okay, tomorrow morning, you and I will enter the palace together. When you meet the king, you should think of your words."
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will live up to your trust." Sun Qi responded quickly.
In fact, Qiu Rong didn't believe him, it was just because of the letter from his mentor.
The next day, Huan Guo went to the meeting hall.
After all the ministers knelt down, Qiu Rong was the first to stand up and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend a talented person today. His talents are enough to bring peace to the country."
"Oh? Who does the Prime Minister recommend?" King Huan asked subconsciously.
"My name is Sun Qi."
"Sun Qi?" King Huan had never heard of such a nobody, so he asked, "Where is he from aristocratic family?"
"This" Qiu Rong hesitated: "If he is not a child of an aristocratic family, he should be from a commoner background."
"What?" King Huan frowned, "A commoner is mostly illiterate, what kind of talent can he have?"
"If your Majesty sees him, you will know that this person is unparalleled in the country, but he does have a good idea." Qiu Rong said seriously.
At this time, a group of ministers began to speak:
"Isn't the Prime Minister serious?"
"A small commoner is delaying important political matters!"
"That is, when the Prime Minister recommends talents, he should be a worthy and famous person, and should not be such a lowly person."
King Huan was also ready to refuse.
When Qiu Rong saw this, he quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "If the king doesn't see you today, I will kneel down and die here!"
He also means it.
When King Huan saw this, he said helplessly: "Oh, why is the Prime Minister like this? Let's announce this person to the palace."
"I am Wang Yingming," Qiu Rong shouted quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ling passed it down one after another:
"Xuan, Sun Qi comes to see you"
At this time, Sun Qi was waiting at the foot of the steps outside the palace. After hearing the summons, he immediately became energetic, straightened his clothes, and walked up the steps.
When he arrived at the court meeting hall, all the officials couldn't help but look sideways.
Sun Qi quickly stepped forward, knelt on the ground in the hall, with his butt raised high, and said in a serious voice:
"The common people rise up and kowtow to the king. I will be king for ten thousand years."
"Get on your feet." King Huan said casually.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Qi stood up and stood below respectfully with his hands lowered.
King Huan looked at him and said directly: "Sun Qi, I heard from the Prime Minister that you are a talented person?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, whether you are a virtuous person or not is not decided by ordinary people, but by Your Majesty," Sun Qi said.
"Oh? How does the king know?"
"You'll know once you use it." Sun Qi spoke concisely and to the point.
Upon hearing this, King Huan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Interesting."
He said something and then said: "Then what strategies do you have to rejuvenate the country and secure it? Let me try to tell you a few words."
Sun Qi thought for a while and said: "Before this, the common people dared to ask the king if he was hesitating about Fu'an."
Since it was recommended by the Prime Minister, King Huan did not shy away from it: "Yes, I am in a dilemma."
"In the opinion of the common people, the king must not give up Fu'an to the Liang Kingdom, otherwise, the country may be in danger of being destroyed."
"What!?" King Huan frowned, with a look of displeasure on his face: "Sun Qi, are you alarmist!"
Sun Qi said sternly: "This is not the alarmist talk of ordinary people, but Fu'an is actually a strategically important place. King Liang has sinister intentions, and my king must not ignore it."
At this point, before King Huan could speak, a minister could no longer bear it and stepped out and said:
"You're a little rascal! What a shame! What a strategic location! Fu'an is just a small county and is of no importance to our country!"
After being scolded by him, Sun Qi's expression did not change much. Instead, he faced King Huan and continued, "Do you want to listen to King Liang's intentions?"
Although he didn't think Fu'an was that important, these words aroused King Huan's curiosity.
"Tell me about it."
Sun Qidao: "Fu'an, in the middle and lower part of our country, looks like a small county, but it is not. From a military perspective, its geographical location is very important."
"Because it's close to the Yellow River."
