Prince Qin's Mansion.
Xiao Yuanzheng went out to welcome them in person and was very polite to the visitors.
The visitor was none other than Sun Qi’s wife, Xiuniang.
After writing the letter of divorce, Xiuniang suppressed her pain and left silently. However, not long after, she was found by Qin Guo Xizuo, and as a Qin Shang, she secretly brought her to Qin.
It is relatively easy for Qin merchants to pass customs in Huan.
After seeing her get off the carriage, Xiao Yuan slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Madam, the palace of Prince Qin will be full of glory."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Chu again: "Are you rude to Madam?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are unscathed." Lin Chu said quickly.
Xiao Yuan smiled again and looked at Xiu Niang: "Madam, don't mind me, my subordinates have no ill intentions."
When she saw that the visitor was wearing royal robes, young and handsome, he must be the King of Qin, Xiu Niang could not help but frown, and said on her face: "What does the King of Qin mean?"
"I don't have any other intention, I just want to invite my wife to Qin as a guest."
Xiao Yuan continued to smile and extended his hand at the same time: "Madam, you must be tired after traveling all the way. It would be disrespectful to prepare some food and drinks. Please."
At this point, what can Xiu Niang do, but she has no choice but to enter the palace.
She didn't look nervous.
This is a woman who understands the general situation and is relatively intelligent.
After welcoming her into the palace, Xiao Yuan also started to chat with her casually:
"I heard that my wife was originally a lady of the family. She married Sun Qi and stayed with him through the most difficult days. But in the end, Sun Qi decided to divorce his wife in order to become a general. I must have resented this matter. ? Sun Qi is so ungrateful!"
He said this on purpose, in order to further clarify the facts.
When Xiu Niang heard this, she immediately became anxious: "King Qin can humiliate me, but you can't humiliate Sun Qi. He is not such an ungrateful person!"
She was fiercely protective.
Xiao Yuan was very interested: "Oh?"
Xiu Niang said: "Things are not what King Qin thought."
After speaking, she said no more.
But Xiao Yuan already knew what he was doing and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Then he added: "Since you and Sun Qi are so in love, you must really want to see him, right? You left alone and silently, and you feel so painful in your heart. Who knows."
"What do you mean?" Xiu Niang felt a little uncomfortable and said vigilantly: "If the King of Qin wants to use the daughter of the people to blackmail Sun Qi, then the calculation is wrong, and the daughter of the people will not obey."
"Where, madam, I misunderstood. I just want to say that you and your wife will definitely meet again." Xiao Yuan smiled.
Xiu Niang looked suspicious.
Xiao Yuan laughed and said: "If you don't believe it, how about you and I make a bet? I bet that Sun Qi will not stay in Huan Kingdom long."
"Oh, Sun Qi's talent is beyond the knowledge of the King of Qin. How can he not be reused in the Huan Kingdom." Xiu Niang naturally didn't believe it.
"It is precisely because I know this that I say this."
"Why is Mr. Qin so sure?"
"Because Huan Guo can't tolerate Sun Qi at all."
Here, Xiao Yuan was very polite to Xiuniang, arranged her residence, and had her servants take care of her daily life.
On the other side, Liang Country.
The three defeat reports made King Liang unbelievable, and what followed was overwhelming anger.
Thinking that he had always looked down on King Huan, and even wanted to dominate the other party, but now he was severely frustrated, how could he endure it.
Qie Liang had already made strategic arrangements to destroy Huan, but now with the appearance of Sun Qi, all plans were disrupted.
Above the court, King Liang was furious.
Cai Yan hurriedly came out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Huan Army has changed its commander now. It is no longer the same as before. If we fight again, I am afraid that the national power will be severely depleted."
Judging from the loss of troops on both sides, the current Liang army did not suffer a major defeat. They were just forced to evacuate the previously occupied land.
But it was precisely this that King Liang couldn't accept: "Listen to Master Cai, are you asking me to stop the army and make peace?"
"Yes, that's best." Cai Yan said truthfully.
"No!" King Liang decisively refused: "The battle of Liang and Huan cannot be forgotten like this! If the other countries don't interfere, our army will fight alone against Huan's army! I don't believe it, because Huan's army is no longer a sheep! "
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Cai Yan hurriedly advised.
But how could King Liang listen?
"Send an order to send an additional 100,000 troops to the border between the two countries!"
"In addition, Mr. Cai and Tang Yue rushed to the front line in person to assist Xue Wu in the battle."
"This king" Cai Yan wants to say something else.
But Prince Liang looked at him displeased.
The latter couldn't help but swallowed secretly, and could only bow and said: "Yes, Wei Chen accepts the order."
King Liang was warlike and headstrong, so he once again sent more troops to the Huanliang battlefield, but this time the lineup was much stronger.
Important counselors and top-notch warriors are coming.
At this point, Xue Wu, who had suffered three setbacks, began to face up to both the enemy and ourselves. He and Cai Yan carefully studied Sun Qi's tactical strategy and prepared for the next counterattack.
On the Huan side, after the Liang army was driven out of the country, King Huan's order was not to allow Sun Qi to continue the attack, but to guard the country's gates.
Therefore, Huan Jun is now on the defensive.
But with the increase in troops of the Liang Army, it is obvious that this war will not end easily.
After hearing the news, King Huan was shocked and couldn't help but said: "This King Liang! Is he crazy?"
In his opinion, the Liang army was frustrated and failed to benefit, so it should have withdrawn.
Qiu Rong said: "Your Majesty, since King Liang has increased his troops, our country should do the same."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Anyway, General Sun Qi is here now. If we want to fight, why should our country be afraid?" Another minister said.
"Okay! Prince Liang really thinks that Huan is easy to bully. This time, he must teach him a lesson!"
King Huan finally lost his temper.
The two countries increased their troops one after another, and the war continued. When the news came back to Qin, Xiao Yuan was happy.
This was exactly the result he wanted to see most.
He also immediately summoned his ministers and held a series of discussions on the war situation in the north.
At the court meeting, Shangguan Ruo said: "Although it is not appropriate for our country to intervene now, it is time to prepare for a rainy day and secretly decide a strategy in advance."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said: "As for the battle of Huanliang, if Qin launches troops, he will definitely take over a country. What do you think we should do?"
After hearing this, some ministers immediately began to express their opinions. What they said was that Huan was easier to destroy than Liang. Overall, it was more appropriate to destroy Huan.
However, Shangguan Ruo said: "It is precisely because the Liang Kingdom is more difficult to destroy that it is a big problem. It is also next to our country. Once Huan is destroyed, the Liang Kingdom will definitely increase its national strength. By then, if you want to compete with the King of Liang for hegemony, you can't do it now." It’s that simple.”
"In addition, this is inconsistent with the king's strategy of making friends far away and attacking closely. Therefore, an alliance with Liang is not as good as an alliance with Huan."
"King Liang is fierce and King Huan is weak. In the future, it will be easier to find the weakness of King Huan."
In fact, Xiao Yuan also thinks so. If he helps Liang, there is no doubt that raising tigers will bring disaster!
