Wuxia Pass, the throat of the right part of the Central Plains.

It has been some years since the sixth monarch of Huan Xianggong, it was originally to fight against the Jin Ling coalition army, but now, with the change of the territory of Huan State, it has become an internal pass, and it is not an important place, and it is in disrepair.

The meaning of the ghost king is already very clear, occupy this place, advance, you can attack the hinterland of the Central Plains, retreat, you can return to the current Huan realm.

What's more, this pass is like a gate to the northeast in the central belt, stuck here, and the Huan Kingdom is equivalent to being locked in the door, isolated from the other countries.

After hearing this, Urcha was slightly puzzled and said: "But Your Majesty, Wuxia Pass is too far away from us, do we want to give up these great cities nearby and occupy a desolate pass?" ”

The ghost king smiled, looked at him and said: "These enjoyments in front of you are only temporary, the Central Plains is very large, thousands of miles long, a Huan country, but it only occupies a corner of the northeast, we have to make long-term plans, so that we can advance and retreat." ”

"And Wuxia Pass, it seems to be inconspicuous, but in fact it is the key point, let's occupy this place first, jam the nearby Jiaodao fortress, divide the entire northeast border, from the Central Plains, and then slowly clean up this divided land, isn't it easy?"

It can be seen that the ghost king has some military ideas, not some wine bags and rice bags.

Listening to his explanation, Urcha couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Majesty is saying that we will occupy Wuxia Pass first, and prevent other countries from entering Huan State, and then we will plunder at will in the territory of Huan State." ”

"That's right, that's exactly what it means." The Ghost King said directly.

"Your Majesty is wise." Urcha said sincerely, not to mention how respectful he was to the Ghost King.

The latter glanced at him again, and suddenly asked, "By the way, how is the situation over there in Anyang?" ”

Urcha said: "Yu Anmin has already provided us with some grain and grass subsidies, but he has also begun to ask for land. ”

"En......" The ghost king pondered for a while, and said: "Give him the few empty cities that have been occupied, now Yu Anmin still has a lot of use value for us, not to a certain extent, don't offend him too much, coax some." ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Urcha hurriedly responded.

The battlefield of Huandi, with the arrival of the ghost king, has undergone great changes, first the successive losses of the counties, and then the loss of Xiang Ge's armor after being beaten, the entire 300,000 army was almost completely lost.

Huanjun camp, he is in the handsome position, and he can't stop sighing.

Now is not the time for the council, the generals are not here, and there are only staff members who follow him all year round.

After sighing again, Xiang Ge said with a sad face: "Sir, this battle has been defeated so badly, how can I explain it to the king......

When the staff heard this, they thought about it first, and then said: "The responsibility for the defeat of this battle is not entirely on Xiang Shuai, but after all, our army has suffered heavy losses, and the news is back, and the king is afraid that he will be angry. ”

"Mr. means ......"

The staff said: "Inform Lord Guo first, let them prepare in advance, and say good things for Xiang Shuai in front of the king, in addition, there is also that Sun Qi, this time he must not be allowed to stand up again, otherwise, Xiang Shuai will be killed." ”

"Hiss......" Hearing this, Xiang Ge's face suddenly became solemn.

The staff's analysis is actually correct, in terms of defeat, Xiang Ge is in the court this time, it is difficult to maneuver, if Sun Qi comes out of the mountain again, replaces his position, and wins the ghost army, then it is estimated that his head will definitely not be able to be saved.

Whether it was out of the consideration of his own life or selfish considerations, there is no doubt that Xiang Ge accepted the advice of his staff, and immediately sent a letter to the minister Guo Kai, and only after these were done did he dare to transmit the current battle report to the royal court.

A few days later, Huandu.

Late at night, on the streets.

Sun Qizheng was holding the wound on his shoulder with one hand, leaning against the wall of an alley, inhaling cold air in pain.

Take the palm of your hand and take a look, although it is night, you can still feel that there are blood stains all over your hands.

He gritted his teeth secretly.

Just now, he was almost killed by two assassins.

Since the extinction of Liang, King Huan listened to slanderous rumors, Sun Qi could not be reused, and was persecuted by traitors and was thrown into prison several times.

Before, he could still seek the refuge of the old gentleman, but just some time ago, the old gentleman had passed away, and the traitors had intensified the persecution of him, and now they were even more blatant and wanted to assassinate him.

He was able to escape at the hands of the Assassins, so to speak, by sheer fate.

But even if he escapes here, it's not a way, Huandu, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out.

Thinking of this, his heart was filled with remorse and guilt for his wife.

At this moment, a deep voice came from outside the alley:

"Quick! Don't let that kid run! ”

"You go over there!"

Sun Qi gritted his teeth, where could he still take care of the wound, and dragged himself up, trying to escape from here, but just a few steps away, the door of a house behind him quietly opened, and then, a palm covered his mouth violently.

Then, without any superfluous movements, he was dragged away.

Sun Qi naturally struggled, but the person who came seemed to be a practitioner, and he was not allowed to resist at all, so he dragged him into the house, and the door closed silently again.

He was forcibly dragged all the way through the courtyard and into the house, where he was completely dark.

Knowing that he had been controlled, although Sun Qi did not struggle meaninglessly, his heart was raised.

He was a little nervous, and in the darkness of the night, his eyes looked around.

"If you want to live, don't scream."

A cold male voice came, the lights in the room were lit, and the man behind him also let go of his palm.

Sun Qi is such a shrewd person, just one sentence, I have already heard that the people here are probably not the same as the assassins.

In front of him stood a young man dressed in brocade, white-faced and beardless, very young, and ordinary-looking, the type that could never be found again if he was thrown into the pile.

The big man behind him was waiting respectfully on the side, obviously a young man's subordinate.

Sun Qigang saw the situation at the scene clearly, and before he could ask questions, the young man was already smiling and groaning:

"General Sun, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

"You are ......" Sun Qi frowned suspiciously, as if he had forgotten the wounds on his body.

The young man glanced at him, still smiling, and said, "I think it's time to bandage the general's wound before I talk about anything else, but before that, I can introduce myself." ”

"My name is Hou Qing, a native of Qin, and I am here to answer General Sun on the orders of my king, in fact, we have blocked several crises for you in secret, but you don't know it."

"What!?" Hearing this, Sun Qi couldn't help but be shocked.
