The best ring

"Your Majesty, what happened this time is indeed Wei Chen's dereliction of duty, and Wei Chen is willing to accept the punishment." Sun Zhongcai said to Qi Feng sincerely.

Hearing Qi Feng's words, the other ministers in the imperial study felt a little proud, especially the generals, who looked at Qi Feng expectantly, hoping that Qi Feng would remove Sun Zhongcai from his post in anger. It's not impossible. After all, this matter is not trivial. To be more serious, it may even threaten the life and death of their Blackwater Country.

Qi Feng was indeed a little dissatisfied with Sun Zhongcai at this time.

Although Qi Feng wanted to kill Peng Chuan with a thousand swords, he still recognized Peng Chuan's ability. He still felt that the defeat at Shanling Pass was caused by Peng Chuan's desire to defect to Nanping Kingdom and his failure to deal with it seriously.

Compared with Peng Chuan, Sun Zhongcai's ability seems a bit lacking.

In fact, Qi Feng is not completely brainless. These days, he is also secretly observing Sun Zhongcai's behavior to see if Sun Zhongcai is qualified for this position. If Sun Zhongcai is not good at it, he does not mind replacing him with someone else.

In the past few days, Sun Zhongcai's performance made Qi Feng a little dissatisfied. It was true that he was mobilizing the city defense, but the effect of the rearranged city defense was not as good as before, and even seemed a bit chaotic.

Moreover, Qi Feng also received news that Sun Zhongcai had frequently mobilized the troops in Linshui City in the past two days, as if to arrest someone. This made Qi Feng even more annoyed. He ignored important things and actually had other thoughts. He is arresting people everywhere. Does he need Sun Zhongcai to arrest them? Is there anyone left in the county government office in Linshui City? Moreover, he actually mobilized the entire city's army. In Qi Feng's view, this kind of behavior was not doing his job properly, not distinguishing between the important and the important, and abusing his private power!

Now that the Yangyuguan incident has occurred, Qi Feng has lost a lot of points against Sun Zhongcai. At this time, he also feels that the previous appointment of Sun Zhongcai to take over Peng Chuan's position was a bit too hasty. Perhaps it is time to change someone.

He called Sun Zhongcai here today. In fact, he was originally planning to accuse the other party and prepare to remove him. Now that Sun Zhongcai took the initiative to plead guilty, he was ready to remove Sun Zhongcai.

Just when Qi Feng was about to speak, Sun Zhongcai spoke again.

"However, the most important thing right now is to resolve the crisis in Yangyu Pass." Sun Zhongcai said.

"Crisis at Yangyu Pass? You can just send troops there. There is no need for General Sun to come up with suggestions. Everyone can think of it." Another general in the imperial study said, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"Are you sure that dispatching other armies can block Nanping's attack?" Sun Zhongcai asked: "Don't forget, we just suffered a disastrous defeat at Shanling Pass in Nanping. There are not many troops that can be mobilized in the country. Even if The soldiers united and finally defeated the Nanping Kingdom. We in the Blackwater Kingdom must also suffer a tragic victory. It will take many years to recover. Moreover, the Shuiyue Kingdom is still urging us to send troops to help, so there is no way. Mobilize all the troops to fight against Nanping."

The others were speechless for a moment. Although they wanted to refute Sun Zhongcai, they also knew that what Sun Zhongcai said was true. If there had not been a tragic defeat at Shanling Pass, they would not have to be afraid of Nanping's attack and could defeat Nanping's army relatively easily.

But it is obviously different now. Now they are not sure of victory. Even if the soldiers rely on city defense to defeat the Nanping Army with a decisive blow, their own losses will definitely not be small. They have already suffered a disastrous defeat at Shanling Pass. , if they experience another tragic victory at Yangyuguan, they are afraid that their Blackwater Kingdom's army will be depleted. By then, if there are several rebel forces in the country, they may not be able to suppress them.

What's more, Shuiyue Kingdom is still urging them to send troops. If they really send troops to help Shuiyue Kingdom, their remaining troops will face Nanping Kingdom, and their chances of winning will naturally be even smaller.

Qi Feng also had a headache about this.

"I see General Sun's confident look. Could it be that he has thought of some good solution to the current predicament? Why don't you tell us and let us all listen."

"Yes, I also want to hear General Sun's opinions."

"General Sun is now in control of the country's military, so he must have a way to solve the crisis at Yangyu Pass."

The ministers in the imperial study couldn't think of a good solution, so they targeted Sun Zhongcai again and used words to bully him. Who put Sun Zhongcai in that position now? They couldn't think of a way. It's understandable, after all, you can't do anything if you're not in his position, but Sun Zhongcai must find a way to do it, because he is in that position.

Originally, everyone was crowding around Sun Zhongcai because they wanted to see his joke. Everyone did not believe that Sun Zhongcai could really think of a solution. However, after hearing what they said, Sun Zhongcai smiled and said: "I did think of a solution. way."

Afterwards, Sun Zhongcai looked at Qi Feng, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, we can write a letter immediately and send it to Shuiyue Kingdom to ask for help from Shuiyue Kingdom. Originally, we attacked Nanping Kingdom because of Shuiyue Kingdom's instructions. Now Nanping The country is coming, and it is up to Shuiyue Kingdom to solve this problem."

"Sun Zhongcai, are you crazy! Shuiyue Kingdom is still asking us, Blackwater Kingdom, to send troops to help them. How can they send troops to help us?"

"Yes, I thought you had some great ideas, but it turned out to be such a bad idea."

Faced with the rebuttals of his colleagues, Sun Zhongcai kept smiling and continued to say to Qi Feng: "Your Majesty, we can explain in the letter that because of the previous disastrous defeat at Shanling Pass, our Black Water Kingdom is no longer able to resist the attack of Nanping Kingdom. If they do not send troops, we will definitely be defeated by Nanping Kingdom. At that time, this will be the territory of Nanping Kingdom, and behind Nanping Kingdom stands Yanfeng Kingdom. When Nanping Kingdom occupies the territory of our Black Water Kingdom, it will directly border their Shuiyue Kingdom. In order to prevent attacks from Nanping Kingdom or even Yanfeng Kingdom behind Nanping Kingdom, they will have to send heavy troops to guard the border, which will involve a large part of their energy, which is definitely not a good thing for them."

The imperial study has slowly quieted down, with only Sun Zhongcai's voice echoing. The ministers who mocked him before are no longer talking at this time.

Sun Zhongcai's speech is still going on.

"To take a step back, even if Shuiyue Kingdom really doesn't mind us being conquered by Nanping Kingdom, doesn't mind being directly adjacent to Nanping Kingdom, and is determined not to send troops to support us, then we can at least ignore Shuiyue Kingdom's previous order for us to send troops to help. They know that we are in trouble, so they will naturally not force us to send troops. At that time, we can concentrate all our energy on dealing with Nanping Kingdom. Although our Blackwater Kingdom has suffered a heavy blow before, it is not completely without the ability to resist. Nanping Kingdom wants to severely damage or even destroy us. If we fight back desperately, they will need to pay a very painful price. They will also worry about being attacked by Shuiyue Kingdom at that time. Therefore, we can negotiate with Nanping Kingdom. At that time, the crisis of Yangyu Pass may be resolved by itself. Of course, we will also have to pay some price for this. However, paying some price is better than losing all the troops, and it is better than losing the country!" Sun Zhongcai said to Qi Feng.
