The best ring

"General Sun, do you have any ideas?" Qi Feng looked at Sun Zhongcai and asked.

Because of Sun Zhongcai's previous performance, Qi Feng had a slightly better impression of him.

"The general has some ideas." Sun Zhongcai ignored the other ministers around him, but looked at Qi Feng and said: "Your Majesty, the general, and all the ministers should all have the same idea about cooperation with the Prince of Shuiyue Kingdom. The cooperation of Prince Shuiyue has more advantages than disadvantages for us, so it is worth a try.”

Qi Feng nodded and said: "This is natural. If possible, I am very willing to cooperate with the prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, but now, Yangyuguan is in the hands of Yelu Hongfei, not in my hands."

"Your Majesty, we know about this situation, but neither the Prince of Shuiyue Kingdom nor his secret envoy know about it," Sun Zhongcai said.

"Huh?" Qi Feng frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, we can just pretend not to know about this matter. Then Yelu Hongfei was giving the memorial, and he didn't explicitly say that he would not return the possession of Yangyu Pass, right?" Sun Zhongcai asked.

"Indeed not." Qi Feng said.

Although this is the meaning in the memorial, Yelu Hongfei did not explicitly say in the memorial that the occupied Yangyuguan will not be returned. It is difficult for him to say so. After all, the capital of Blackwater Kingdom is still theirs. As for the satellite countries of the Moon Kingdom, if they occupy Yangyu Pass so blatantly, how will people from other countries think?

"That's it." Sun Zhongcai said: "In name, Yangyuguan still belongs to our Blackwater Kingdom. Your Majesty naturally has the right to appoint anyone as the guard of Yangyuguan."

"What do you mean, you want me to appoint the secret envoy just now as the guard of Yangyuguan?" Qi Feng said.

"Not bad." Sun Zhongcai said.

"General Sun, do you know that if that secret envoy is appointed as the guard general of Yangyu Pass, then all the defenders in Yangyu Pass will be under his command!" A civil servant said.

"Of course I know this. I am a military commander myself, so of course I know this." Sun Zhongcai said.

"Then why are you still doing this? This is sending our Blackwater Kingdom's army to the people of Water Moon Kingdom!"

"Didn't our Blackwater Kingdom often fight for the Shuiyue Kingdom in the past?" Sun Zhongcai asked, "What's the difference between this and handing over the army to the Shuiyue Kingdom?"

Sun Zhongcai's words made the civil servant speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to refute.

Sun Zhongcai ignored him and looked at Qi Feng and said: "Your Majesty, since we have decided to cooperate with the prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, why not cooperate more thoroughly and directly appoint his secret envoy as the guard of Yangyu Pass, and send Yangyu to the throne?" All the troops in the pass will be put under his command, so as to gain the favor of the prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, and at the same time, it will also make it easier for the other party to arrange in advance in Yangyu Pass. "

Qi Feng frowned slightly and did not agree immediately. He would be able to accept the loan of Yangyuguan to Yelu Honglin, but if the entire Yangyuguan army was handed over to Yelu Honglin, Qi Feng would be a little reluctant. Although they have fought for the Shuiyue Kingdom many times in the past, there is still a difference between this and directly handing over the army. In the past, at least Qi Feng could feel that the Blackwater Kingdom's army was still in his hands. Now if the handover is When you get out, it's the Shuiyue Kingdom's army.

Seemingly seeing Qi Feng's hesitation, Sun Zhongcai continued: "Your Majesty, even if we don't appoint the secret envoy as the guard of Yangyu Pass, the troops in Yangyu Pass will not be able to come back, and Yelu Hongfei will never do it easily. The one who let those troops go is Yelu Hongfei, who is cruel by nature and has killed many of our generals. The Yangyuguan army is in his hands. I am afraid there won’t be many left in the end, so it is better to hand it over to Yelu Honglin. After all, Yelu Honglin Honglin has always had a good reputation, and he should not do anything to wipe out the entire Yangyuguan army."

Qi Feng thought for a while and said, "You are right. If I don't appoint the guard general of Yangyuguan now, then Yelu Hongfei will become the actual guard general, and the entire army in the pass will be under his command. If one of our own generals from the Blackwater Kingdom is appointed as the guard of Yangyuguan, he will probably suffer the same fate as Zhao Guangzhi and others before him. From this point of view, only the person who appoints Yelu Honglin can be the guard. , is the most suitable choice. I am just afraid that if Yelu Honglin only sends such an envoy, even if he is appointed as the guard of Yangyuguan, he will not be able to defeat Yelu Hongfei. "

"Whether we can win or not is a matter for the two princes of Shuiyue Kingdom." Sun Zhongcai said: "Anyway, there is no loss for us. If the two princes fight, maybe Yangyuguan will still be defeated." It will be back in our hands sooner.”

Qi Feng thought for a while, then asked other ministers, and finally made a decision:

Appoint Wu Yun as the guard general of Yangyu Pass and control all the troops in Yangyu Pass!

Of course, Qi Feng claimed that this Wu Yun was the general of their Blackwater Kingdom. This was in compliance with Wu Fan's request to keep it secret to prevent others from the Water Moon Kingdom from knowing.

This imperial edict was quickly issued to Wu Fan, which surprised Wu Fan.

"What did the emperor of the Blackwater Kingdom think that he appointed an outsider like me to be the guard of Yangyuguan?" Faced with this imperial edict, Wu Fan was a little confused.

Wu Fan's original intention was just to find an excuse to help the second prince take Peng Chuan and others out of the city. In his opinion, even if Qi Feng believed his words, it would only make the guards of Yangyuguan fully Cooperate with him and let Yelu Honglin become the master behind Yangyuguan, and in terms of position, the guard of Yangyuguan will still be from the Blackwater Kingdom.

Wu Fan did not expect that Qi Feng would do it so thoroughly and directly appoint him as the commander of Yangyu Pass. Although he claimed that "Wu Yun" was a general of Heishui Kingdom, Qi Feng and others knew his identity as a secret envoy. In other words, Qi Feng handed over the entire Yangyu Pass to the prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, Yelu Honglin, which was beyond Wu Fan's expectations.

"But it's good this way. With this identity, it will be easier for me to assassinate Yelu Hongfei." Wu Fan said to himself.

Wu Fan did not value the identity of the commander of Yangyu Pass. You know, he is still secretly assisting Peng Chuan in the rebellion, and he is targeting the entire Heishui Kingdom. A mere Yangyu Pass is really nothing.

However, for now, this important identity is still helpful to him, so Wu Fan gladly accepted it.

Along with the imperial edict, there was also Qi Feng's message.

Qi Feng wanted to hold a banquet in the evening to welcome Wu Fan, but Wu Fan refused on the grounds of confidentiality. Afterwards, he bluntly said that he could not stay in the palace all the time, lest his identity be discovered. Then he said goodbye to Qi Feng and others and left the palace.
