Wang Zhaoxuan arrived in a small city, which was very easy to cause a sensation.

The news spread quickly.

Unexpectedly, Sun Qi, who always took a roll of bamboo slips on weekdays, was summoned by the monarch in person.

For a while, outside the dilapidated hut, it was surrounded by neighbors, who came up to congratulate each other, smiling shyly, and pulling the relationship.

Before, I had never seen them so attentive, and the people in the world were warm and cold, but that's it.

"Let it go, let it be troublesome, I'm Sun Qi's sister-in-law"

In a short time, the crowd was pushed away.

Sun Qi's eldest brother and sister-in-law came to the door.

His sister-in-law was full of smiles, and couldn't help but say: "I told your eldest brother a long time ago that Sun Qi, this child, has great ambitions, and sooner or later he will have a great future!" Look, isn't that fulfillment! ”

When his brother heard this, his face was embarrassed.

However, Sun Qi didn't pay much attention to it, and politely invited his brother and sister-in-law into the house, and closed the door at the same time.

"It's really convincing to have such a brother"

"yes"

There was also a faint discussion of neighbors outside.

Inside the house, his brother seemed a little uncomfortable because of his sister-in-law's meanness in the past, and it was difficult to say what he wanted to say.

Seeing this, Sun Qi didn't say much, and directly asked Xiuniang to take out some gold, stuffed it into her sister-in-law's hand, and said:

"Over the years, thank you to my eldest brother and sister-in-law for taking care of me many times, these money is not a tribute, and I hope that my sister-in-law must accept it."

"Oh, that's embarrassing." Not to mention how excited her sister-in-law is, she says so, but her hands are faster than anyone else.

"Where, that's as it should be." Sun Qi smiled slightly.

Of course he knows his sister-in-law's philistine, but he is a person with big ambitions, how can he care about these small things in the market.

After greeting his brother and sister-in-law, he hurried out again and found the mansion that was separated by a few houses.

In the house, Sun Qi knelt on the ground and bowed, and gave a salute: "The old gentleman is very kind, Sun Qi will always remember it in his heart, but now, his fame has not been achieved, and he will come to report it one day!" ”

"Why is it grace, it's gold, it will always shine, the old man just wrote a letter, get up quickly." The old man pulled him up.

"If there is no old man, there will be no grandson." Sun Qi said seriously.

"Alright." The old man waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's just a pity, in the future, I'm afraid you won't have time to play with the old man."

This is the noble man of his life!

The next day, Huan Guo court.

At this time, King Huan had not yet announced that Sun Qi had entered the palace.

However, before that, the ministers had a heated discussion.

Huan Xiang Qiu Rong, the recommender of Sun Qi, naturally strongly agrees with the appointment of generals.

He said: "Sun Qi expected the enemy first, this matter, everyone can see, and the military point of view, incisive and unique, is really handsome, if he leads the troops, Weichen believes, will be able to defeat the Liang army again!" ”

Hearing this, some ministers objected: "Although the battle of Xishan does show Sun Qi's military strategy, all his remarks, as he himself said, are just sitting and arguing, and when he really gets to the battlefield, he doesn't know what it looks like!" ”

Weichen seconded. Another minister said: "If a cloth is easily entrusted with a heavy task, and it is related to the army, it is not appropriate to entrust it, and there is a world of difference between war planning and personally leading the troops." ”

"Seconded by the Minister"

"The minister also seconded the proposal to appoint civilians, there are few precedents in our country, and I hope the king will think twice"

What the ministers said is not completely unreasonable, and if Sun Qi is appointed as the commander because of this matter, this is obviously unrealistic.

Seeing this, Qiu Rong hurriedly said: "King, talents are rare!" As the old saying goes, if you have a general's talent, you can win a thousand armies, if you ignore Sun Qi's talent because of his background, then is this what Mingjun did? ”

He is the prime minister, and only he dares to say that.

King Huan was not angry, but thought about it carefully, and said after a while: "Okay, it is inevitable that the virtuous will miss out, and this king has an appointment with him first, so he will be appointed as a junior general first, and see how he is in the first battle." ”

After deciding, King Huan also immediately said: "Xuansun Qi enters the palace." ”

"Xuan, Sun Qi enters the palace"

With the transmission of the royal order, Sun Qi walked up.

At this time, because of the 100 gold, he had changed into decent clothes and tied his hair with a hairpin, and he looked a lot more energetic.

"Sun Qi knocked to see the king, my king Wannian" After entering the palace, he naturally knelt on the ground to give a salute.

"Let's be flat." King Huan raised his hand.

When he got up, before he could speak, one of the ministers immediately stood up and said in a questioning manner:

"Sun Qi, when this official sees you, he begs for help, but you know that not everyone can lead the troops."

"Of course." Sun Qi did not defend this.

"Since you know how to use troops, it is not trivial, so can you be sure to command an army of 100,000 at your feet?" The officer asked again.

Sun Qi smiled: "Hehe, don't say 100,000, even millions of people are waving their hands." ”

"You! You fanatic! "The official is very angry, where to believe what he says.

"If you don't believe it, you will know it when you try it on the battlefield." Sun Qi swore and had no stage fright.

Seeing this, the official had no choice but to face King Huan and arch his hand: "King! This person"

"Alright." King Huan waved his hand to stop him, and then looked at Sun Qi, with a hint of a smile on his face, and said directly:

"Sun Qi, you predicted that the Liang army would attack Xishan, and it really came true, this king, who is also a person who loves talents, personally appointed you as a general in this palace today, what do you think?"

General Lang, a low-level general of the Huan State, has the command of one or two hundred thousand people.

This is obviously a kind of initial test of his talent that is not very reassuring.

Sun Qi understood in his heart, and did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Xie Wang Longen, minister, will not live up to the trust!" ”

Seeing that he agreed so quickly, and did not dislike that his position was too low, King Huan was happy again, and said, "Then when are you going to rush to the front?" ”

"The ministers are brave, can they lead the troops and garrison Tangguan." Sun Qi arched his hand.

"You want to guard the pond pass?" King Huan was a little puzzled, because Tangguan was in the right rear of the front line.

It is not difficult to see from this that Sun Qi does not want to be under Xiang Ge's command and listen to his command.

In other words, he did not agree with and was not optimistic about Xiang Ge's military command.

There are still some things he didn't say, that is, the frontal battlefield will be defeated, and in the near future, Tangguan will become the top priority.

If you want to fight the first battle, then you will become famous in one battle!

After thinking about it, King Huan said again: "Then how many soldiers and horses do you need?" ”

"Five thousand is enough." Sun Qi was concise and to the point.

"Only 5,000? If Xue Wu sends generals and the army comes to attack, how can he hold it? King Huan asked in a condensed voice.

"As long as he doesn't transfer all the main forces to Tangguan and ministers, he can hold this place."

Hearing this, King Huan subconsciously looked left and right at the ministers, and then hesitated for a moment, then pointed his hand and said:

"Good! I'll let you guard the pond pass! What if the war is unfavorable? ”

"Minister, behead yourself!"

Sun Qi's words are categorical.
