In the room, the big man quickly brought a tray with healing medicine bottles, gauze and other things on it, and began to bandage Sun Qi.
The latter did not stop him, but sat there, still facing Hou Qing, asking about the confusion in his heart.
Hou Qing was one of Lin Chu's top leaders, and he was also a young man from the Snow tribe. After destroying Liang, he was sent to Huandu and was mainly responsible for Sun Qi.
It is not difficult to see from this that Xiao Yuan valued Sun Qi.
As for some of his questions, Hou Qing also knew everything and answered them one by one.
After a brief conversation, Sun Qi was even more shocked. He couldn't help but said: "You mean, King Qin already knew that I would end up like this?"
"How do you put this?" Hou Qing smiled and said: "My king once said that the general's military ability is first-rate, but in the Huan Kingdom, I am afraid that there will be no place for him."
"Haha." When Sun Qi heard this, he smiled desolately. How ironic it was that his own monarch didn't trust him so much, but the monarch of another country cared so much.
He had a lot of emotions in his heart, and for a while, he became somewhat silent.
Hou Qing added: "King Huan is greedy, selfish, and has no ambition. The general should be aware of this. However, Huan's court is full of intrigues, and all the ministers are doing it for their own private purposes. Most of them have no public heart. In such a country, , Such a king, such a Huan State, how can there be a place for a general to display his ambitions."
"Whatever you want to say, just say it." Sun Qi said.
"Go to the State of Qin." Hou Qing said directly: "My king values generals so much. As the saying goes, a scholar will die for a confidant. A monarch who can see the talent of his ministers is the greatest honor for his ministers. Otherwise, there will be no chance of success again. So what if we have great ambitions?”
Sun Qi was silent again.
Huan Guo treated him like this, and Qin King valued him so much. This is a very sharp contrast.
What a person with the ability to lead is most afraid of is an unwise king.
In Sun Qi's heart, King Huan and King Qin are incomparable.
Why did he choose Huan Guo in the first place? It was because in his opinion, Huan Guo had no talents like him. But what he didn't expect was that King Huan was too mediocre and secretive, liked to listen to slander, and had too many treacherous ministers.
The reason why I didn't go to Qin State was because there was Su Yi in Qin State. If I went there by myself, I might not be able to shine.
But now I see that Qin has the heart to annex the world, which is far beyond the level of Huan. That is its real stage!
Thinking of this, Sun Qi couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Hou Qing then said: "My king has told me not to force generals, but I still have something to say privately. If I have the ability of a general to lead troops, I will definitely join the Qin Dynasty. As for the reason, the general should know better than me." Yes, you think about it yourself.”
"However, there are still people waiting for you in Qinzhou..."
The next day, in the Huan Palace, the court meeting hall.
With a bang, King Huan slapped the case and stood up, his face instantly filled with anger.
Seeing this, all the ministers were startled, and some bravely asked: "Dare...dare you ask your Majesty, what happened..."
"Failed again! Xiang Ge was defeated again!!"
The jade beads on King Huan's forehead trembled, and as he shouted, he became even more angry and softened the king's battle report into a ball, and threw it down: "See for yourselves! My army of 300,000 people has been defeated in countless battles!" There is no way to stop the ghost army!"
ah! ? Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked and pale, and some people hurriedly came forward, picked up the silk book on the ground, unfolded it and looked at it, their eyes suddenly widened, and then their hands trembled slightly and said: "This, this, this, your Majesty, this... "
"Xiang Ge is a loser! Before the battle, he kept promising to the king that he would defeat the enemy in one battle! But now, not to mention losing the city one after another! He has also lost all 300,000 of my soldiers!"
King Huan stood above him, and he was very angry: "Immediately send an order! Take Xiang Ge back to the capital. If he is defeated, he will be punished by military law!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before others could react, Minister Guo Kai hurriedly stepped out of the queue, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. I think it is not appropriate to discuss crimes now that the enemy is facing us. If we withdraw Xiang Ge at this time, General, the situation on the front line will become increasingly critical."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Another minister stood up and said, "It is not a good act to punish the commander in front of the battle. The most important thing now is the issue of troop strength. On the frontline battlefield, we cannot be without a commander for a day."
"Although Xiang Ge was defeated in this battle, as the old saying goes, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. Instead of asking for guilt now and causing chaos in the army, it is better for the king to wait until after the war..."
"Now that the ghost army is unstoppable, the country still needs to increase its troops. As for Xiang Ge's defeat, the king can ask him to make meritorious service. After fighting against the ghost army several times, I believe he must have some military plans..."
"Please, Your Majesty, calm down..."
Many ministers stood up and began to plead for Xiang Ge.
King Huan, on the other hand, said he wanted to kill Xiang Ge, but in reality he would not do so, because Xiang Ge's ancestor had done so much and was one of the most powerful people in the Huan Kingdom. King Huan also trusted him very much.
Trust is trustworthy, but no one can bear this. After listening to what these ministers said, King Huan glared and shouted: "More troops, more troops! How many soldiers are there in the country!"
His angry shout made many people swallow their saliva. Guo Kai rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the King of Qin has announced to the world that he has invited all countries to form an alliance to drive out foreign enemies? With all the With the king’s support, I won’t worry about the ghost army being destroyed when the time comes.”
"What you say is nice!" King Huan was furious: "Who knows how long it will take for the allies to come back with support! The prime minister went to Qin and has not come back yet! Who knows whether King Qin is just talking! The domestic situation is so critical, Our army's strength has been reduced sharply. How can we stop the ghost army next! If the allied forces arrive and the ghost army has already reached the capital, what's the use!"
"This..." Guo Kai was choked and did not dare to speak easily.
All the ministers also fell silent. The civil and military officials of the Huan Kingdom were full of civil servants, but no one offered advice. This shows the decay of the court.
"The ghost army has occupied the land of three counties!"
"Speak! Are you mute!?"
All the ministers could not help but lower their heads and bend their waists even more, but no one came out.
At this time, after venting his anger, King Huan calmed down somewhat. Seeing this, he took a deep breath, sat back on the king's chair, looked around and said:
"Deploy another 100,000 soldiers and horses. Send an order to Xiang Ge to retreat to Zhenyang. No more head-on confrontations with the ghost army. Hold fast to the barrier, refuse to engage in battle, and wait for reinforcements from all countries..."
King Huan no longer wanted to regain the three counties. He put all his hopes on the allies. Although there was nothing wrong with his idea, he ignored Wuxia Pass.
Even more unknown, the ghost army has begun to mobilize frequently to the western front on a large scale.
