"Then, what does the king mean......" Qiu Rong asked tentatively.

King Huan glanced at him: "Say it, I'm afraid the prime minister will have objections, but things have developed to this point, and this king has to do the same." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said, "Negotiate peace with the ghost clan." ”

"What...... What the!? Qiu Rong's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't react.

King Huan sighed, as if he was serious: "Prime Minister, have you thought about it, our army's combat strength is inferior to the ghost army, if you continue to fight against it, even if the allies enter Huandi, then by then, our army will also be wiped out!" ”

Qiu Rong still looked shocked and hadn't come back to his senses yet.

King Huan continued: "And the ghost army is fierce, I don't know if the allies can break through the Wuxia Pass!" ”

At this moment, Qiu Rong finally reacted, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Big ...... The king wants to give up the battle against the ghost army, but in this way, where will I leave the people of Huan Land......"

Knowing that he would say this, King Huan avoided the important and said lightly: "This is just this king's plan to delay the army, first negotiate peace with the ghost clan, preserve the strength of our army, and wait for the allies to repel the ghost army, as for those ordinary people, this king can't manage so much." ”

The invasion of foreign races, this war, originally took place in the Huan Realm, and the alliances of the countries helped each other, out of national righteousness.

This should have been the first country of Huan to stand up and resist fiercely and fight to the end, but in such a national disaster, King Huan is still thinking about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, which shows his greed and selfishness!

When Qiu Rong heard this, he also cried out in a sad voice: "O king! The ghost clan is a foreign enemy, kill my people, slaughter my people! How many evil deeds have been committed! If peace is negotiated with it, how will the people of Huan State view the royal court! How will the people of the world view Huan Guo! ”

"It doesn't matter anymore! The important thing is that Huan Guo is still there! ”

"But the king!"

"Prime Minister!" King Huan interrupted him, already showing a displeased look: "This king knows that you will object, but this matter is related to the safety of Huan State, and you should not use your personal opinion to influence military affairs!" ”

The meaning of these words was already obvious, Qiu Rong couldn't help but shake his body, and staggered back two steps: "The king......"

"That's it! This matter, the king will be mentioned in the court tomorrow, as for how to decide, still need the opinions of the ministers, the prime minister has nothing to do and retreat. King Huan waved his hand impatiently.

He is the monarch, and he has ordered his courtiers to retreat, Qiu Rong has no choice but to make his last effort and say: "Yes, Weichen retires, and I implore the king to think twice......"

After saying that, he also bowed and retreated.

This is King Huan, greedy and selfish, he likes to take advantage of small advantages, when there is no help from the allies, he panics, and when there is help from the allies, he wants to sit and watch the allies defeat foreign enemies.

If the king is like this, the degree of decay of his court can also be imagined.

At the court meeting the next day, when King Huan raised the matter, not only did he not encounter too much opposition, but received a lot of support.

The minister of Huan State, most of the peace-seeking factions, even if they can win the war, they still hope for peace, not to mention being crushed all the way now, even if King Huan doesn't mention it, I'm afraid that someone else will bring it up today.

The on-site ministers were roughly divided into three batches.

Led by Qiu Rong, they were resolutely opposed, but the number was too small, only three or five people, and they were quickly refuted by Guo Kai and others.

can't stand the other party's many tongues, and under the debate, it is obviously inferior.

Others are vacillating from side to side, wanting to seek peace and peace, and feeling that once the peace is reached, it seems to have a great impact.

Guo Kai, in particular, listed the various benefits of peace to King Huan.

He said: "Now that the ghost king has personally entered the Central Plains, maybe the ghost army will have follow-up troops, their combat power is too strong, and if they continue to fight, there is only one way to die." ”

"Similarly, the allied forces have also arrived at Wuxia Pass, if our country chooses to negotiate peace with the ghost army, it will not only be able to keep peace and avoid sword soldiers, but also lead the ghost army to the side of the allies, so that they can fight to the death."

You know, the allies are here to help Huanguo! Now that foreign enemies are invading, everyone should have worked together to beat the ghost clan out first!

But Guo Kai's words were speaking to King Huan's heart.

The latter was just about to agree, but Qiu Rong stood up and said sharply: "How big is the territory of my Huan Kingdom!" Millions of people! If the imperial court clearly tells the world, fight to the death! Tens of millions of people will follow! But now, he has been bullied so far by the little ghost clan! It's because of you soft bones! Spineless! ”

"The royal court doesn't dare to fight! The people can only be enslaved by the ghost clan! Soldiers no longer have the will to fight! How can you not be defeated! ”

He was genuinely furious.

But Guo Kai immediately said: "Lord Xiangguo, are you too biased to blame us ministers for the loss of the battle on the front line?" ”

King Huan's face also sank: "Is the prime minister accusing me of being weak in Huan Kingdom?" This king has long said that this is a delaying tactic, and in terms of military affairs, it is not necessary to fight to the death to protect the country. ”

"But the king is a member of my Huaxia princes, and your request for peace represents the entire Huan Kingdom!!"

"The Ghost Clan is a foreign enemy! Not my kind! The king's sue for peace will only fuel their arrogance even more! Let them further invade the Central Plains! It will only make my people panic even more! Let my army and civilians, the only fighting spirit, become gone! ”

"O king! You are the monarch of Huan Kingdom! Anyone can go without a fight! The royal court must not fight!! ”

Qiu Rong said loudly.

His attitude is already inclined to questioning.

King Huan couldn't help but turn cold.

Seeing this, Guo Kai took the opportunity to stretch out his hand and point at Qiu Rong: "Xiangguo is rude!" This is the palace of the court, as the prime minister, and the king to discuss politics, dare to do so!? ”

Qiu Rong was too lazy to pay attention to him, the matter had come to this point, and he knew in his heart that with the character of King Huan, coupled with the support of Guo Kai and other ministers, he was afraid that he was powerless to change.

Therefore, in anger, he directly bowed his hand to King Huan: "The minister is unwell, retire first, the king forgive me!" ”

After speaking, he snorted coldly at Guo Kai and walked away.

Before the court discussion was over, he just left, which showed the anger in his chest.

Looking at his back, King Huan's face became more and more gloomy.

The ministers on the left and right glanced at each other.

Guo Kai said again and again: "This, this, king, look at Lord Qiu, his attitude is too arrogant!" If this continues, where will there be a king in his eyes......"

"That's it! Say no more! King Huan was also angry, for Qiu Rong's attitude today, he naturally had a fire in his heart, but he endured it and did not have a seizure, but brushed aside the matter and looked at Guo Kaidao:

"Lord Guo, the matter of discussing peace, it is up to you to work hard to meet the ghost king."

"Yes, Weichen is ...... ordered"
