Of course, Xiao Yuan knew that it was impossible for Liang Guo to agree to such conditions, and the purpose was precisely here, in order to not get along.

Therefore, he raised his hand slightly, stopped the Liang envoy, and asked rhetorically: "Does the Liang Kingdom recognize the Son of Heaven?" ”

"The Shang family, the co-lord of the world, of course the Liang Kingdom recognizes." Liang said without hesitation.

"Then why doesn't King Liang be a minister, why doesn't he worship?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

"This, this ......" Ryo didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him: "It seems that King Liang does not really follow the will of the royal family, since this is the case, there is no need to say more." ”

"But Your Highness!" Cool makes a big hurry.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan raised his hand again: "You have also seen that there are a lot of things in this king, you can turn back to King Liang and let him think about it." ”

"This!"

The Liang envoy wanted to say something, but Xiao Yuan had already picked up the bamboo slip again and stopped looking at him.

Seeing this, Liang was helpless, so he could only smile bitterly, shake his head and retreat.

After he left, Xiao Yuan also put down the bamboo slip and glanced at Jia You.

The latter said: "I am afraid that I will not come again." ”

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Concentrate on the war, the situation in Youzhou has not been completely opened up yet, and we can't pin our hopes on the Huan army." ”

At the same time, the Huan State court.

Sun Qi's battle report has been returned, and Dingzhou and Ruyang have all been recovered, but he still leads the Huan army and has plans to continue to march to the hinterland of Liangguo.

King Huan also discussed this matter with the courtiers.

"Dingzhou is good, Ruyang is good, ......"

In the court, he first sighed with the battle report, and then told Sun Qi about continuing to move west.

When the ministers heard this, they first whispered to the left and right, and then some of the ministers stood up and said:

"The king, I have already said before, it is okay to collect Dingzhou and Ruyang, but General Sun Qi wants to blindly use troops, which is really inconsistent with my country's current national policy."

"Yes, the king, in the battle of Qin Liang, Huan Guo should not have participated in the war, and it is just a matter of recovering the two counties, now is the right time to collect troops." Another minister said.

"That's right, if our army continues to advance westward, it will be in an alliance with Qin......"

"King Qin, the king of tigers and wolves, don't conspire with him, the king thinks twice......"

"My country is not suitable for starting a war now, and it is the best policy to sit back and watch success or failure......"

The ministers have admonished one after another, and there is no need to say much about the current situation of the Huan State court.

Seeing this, Qiu Rong came out and said: "King, the minister thinks that General Sun Qi took the opportunity to use troops and strengthen the country's suggestion is feasible, and it is not impossible to ally with Qin." ”

"The prime minister's words are wrong." Some ministers retorted: "King Qin is even more terrible than King Liang, when King Liang was on his side, he has always coveted the territory of my Huan Kingdom, if Liang is really destroyed and replaced by King Qin, it will be even more so!" ”

As soon as these words came out, some people immediately agreed: "Lord Wang's words are really critical, Qin Zhi is fierce, like a vicious tiger, my country must not let the evil tiger lie on the side, hope that the king will see clearly." ”

"Shhh...... There is some truth in what Zhongqing said......" King Huan nodded slowly.

In the end, he still adopted the advice of most of the peace-seekers, and immediately issued a royal edict praising Sun Qi and allowing him to withdraw his troops from the country and not have to go west.

The place where Sun Qi is now is far away from Huan, and the letters have been quickly whipped up before they arrive at the front line a few days later.

After reading this handwritten letter from King Huan, Sun Qi's brows furrowed deeply.

He knew in his heart that it must be those mediocre officials who did nothing to stop him.

Similarly, King Huan's decision, in his opinion, was a huge mistake, but as a courtier, he didn't dare to say anything about King Huan.

Seeing that he was holding the letter and sitting speechless for a long time behind the handsome case, a Huan general couldn't help but ask: "Sun Shuai, what is the explanation in the king's letter?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Sun Qi came back to his senses, first glanced at the generals left and right, and then his mind turned and said:

"It's just some words of praise, the king praised the soldiers of our army, and the contributions of the generals are not small."

Hearing about the battle exploits, the faces of the generals also showed excited looks.

Sun Qi said again: "You have been fighting for many days, but you still want to make meritorious contributions!?" ”

"Of course!" Everyone said in unison, as a general, who doesn't want this kind of thing.

"That's good!" Sun Qi's face was straight, and he immediately said: "Immediately march to the hinterland of Liangguo!" Capture the next city! Expand the territory of our Huan country! ”

"No!" The generals clasped their fists in unison.

Sun Qi received King Huan's letter and kept it a secret, because he didn't want to miss this opportunity!

Once such fighters are lost, they will never appear again!

He knew in his heart that King Huan was greedy, as long as he conquered more land and cities for him and strengthened the Huan Kingdom, when the time came, he would prove that he was right.

Look what those civil servants have to say!

But he was a brilliant military strategist, but he was not a qualified politician.

Another month passed.

In Huandu, Sun Qi withdrew his troops for a long time, and the court suddenly exploded.

Someone said angrily: "How can this be true! Sun Qi dared to disobey the king's order! ”

"This man used soldiers without permission! Ignoring the king's orders is really a great rebellion! ”

"King! Weichen suggested that General Xiang Ge should be immediately sent to the front line in person to confiscate Sun Qi's military power! ”

King Huan's face was also somewhat gloomy.

Just when the ministers were accusing one after another, a forbidden soldier hurriedly ran in:

"Report ~~~~~"

As soon as he entered, he knelt on one knee and hurriedly said, "Your lord! Frontline Emergency Battle Report! ”

"Quick! Present! King Huan immediately pointed out.

The war report was respectfully sent to the king's case.

Written by Sun Qi himself, in the battle report, he reported in detail the battle of this month, and explained the cities he had captured, and asked King Huan to send officials to take office.

And in the end, he elaborated on his military views, hoping to get the king's approval, and made a military order, and in the future, he would obtain more counties for the Huan State.

The words in the letter were more sincere, and after King Huan read it, he learned that his country had gained a lot of land, and the haze on his face was instantly swept away.

He is greedy.

Previously, Sun Qi insisted on using troops, and he almost ordered a change of commander just now, but after seeing these benefits, he immediately changed his attitude.

This is the character of King Huan.

He took the battle report and couldn't help but nod again and again: "Okay!" All right! Sun Qi has captured a lot of cities for my country......"

Hearing this, Qiu Rong hurriedly took advantage of the situation to stand up: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, the battle situation on the front line is complicated, and Sun Qi failed to withdraw his troops in time, so it must be related to the war." ”

"En......" King Huan thought thoughtfully.

But someone was in a hurry and immediately said: "Even so! That Sun Qi did not obey the king's order, which is also a fact! ”

"Let him fight first, let him fight first......"

King Huan saw the tangible benefits and was in a good mood.

At the same time, as a monarch, he is not a fool, he also has his own means.

In his opinion, Sun Qi's unauthorized use of troops is better than dealing with it now, and it is better to expand his interests first.

This also shows that King Huan has always acted for profit.
