Chapter 1447 What to do?

"Do you think they will agree?" Qi Feng looked at the minister with a mocking face.

"Without giving any benefits, Shuiyue Kingdom's troops will naturally not withdraw easily. We can promise them some benefits. If we can satisfy them, they may withdraw on their own," the official said.

"Promise benefits? What benefits are you promising? What kind of benefits can be greater than a city?" Qi Feng said.

"This..." The official was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, what benefit can be greater than that of a city?

Do you want to give them another city?

"Sun Zhongcai! Tell me." Qi Feng saw that no one spoke, so he directly called Sun Zhongcai's name: "At first, it was you who persuaded me to write to Shuiyue Kingdom, asking them to send troops to help. Now tell me what to do. manage!"

Sun Zhongcai's heart suddenly sank.

In fact, when he just heard about the incident at Yangyuguan from Qi Feng, Sun Zhongcai was already a little panicked, because he was the one who suggested that Qi Feng ask for help from Shuiyue Kingdom, and he was also encouraged by Qi Feng at that time. However, it seems that Qi Feng has invited the God of Plague back. Naturally, it is impossible for Qi Feng to admit that it was a mistake in his decision-making, so the blame will naturally fall on himself, the one who came up with the idea.

Sure enough, Qi Feng's accusation came so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the general did not expect that Yelu Hongfei would actually do such a thing." Sun Zhongcai said quickly: "It was the general's negligence, please punish him."

"We'll talk about the punishment later. Now, tell me how to deal with this matter." Qi Feng waved his hand and said impatiently.

Before, when Sun Zhongcai proposed this suggestion, Qi Feng still admired him and thought it was a good idea. But now, Qi Feng's view of Sun Zhongcai has changed. He regrets that he followed Sun Zhongcai's suggestion. This is simply It was just a stupid move, which directly caused him to lose a city.

If the Shuiyue Kingdom's army is not invited to help, Yangyuguan may not be lost. Even if it is lost, it will only be lost in the hands of the Nanping Kingdom. If Yangyuguan is occupied by the people of the Nanping Kingdom, it is better than being occupied by the Shuiyue Kingdom. After all, Nanping Kingdom is only a small country. When Heishui Kingdom recovers its strength, it can still take Yangyu Pass back from Nanping Kingdom.

But now that Yangyuguan is occupied by people from the Shuiyue Kingdom, it is different. Even if their Blackwater Kingdom has recovered its vitality and has the strength of its heyday, they will not dare to launch troops against the Shuiyue Kingdom, because they It can't be beaten at all!

Therefore, if Yangyuguan is occupied by people from the Shuiyue Kingdom, it means that it will be lost forever. What is even more frightening is that after Yelu Hongfei occupied Yangyuguan, will there be more evil? Ideas:

For example, find another excuse to occupy the next city?

The more Qi Feng thought about this, the more he felt chilled all over and panicked in his heart.

What to do?

I don't know either.

Sun Zhongcai was cursing in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.

Sun Zhongcai said bravely: "Your Majesty, maybe Yelu Hongfei really had good intentions, so..."

"Good intentions? He killed so many of my generals. Is this a good intention?" Before Sun Zhongcai finished speaking, Qi Feng interrupted rudely: "He said that Zhao Guangzhi had evil intentions and colluded with the people of Nanping. Do you believe this? "

"The last general..."

"I tell you, this is absolutely impossible! Zhao Guangzhi is the guard general of Yangyu Pass arranged by me personally. I know him very well. His ability may not be very strong, but he is absolutely loyal to me and will never betray me!" Qi Feng did not let Sun Zhongcai finish his words and interrupted him rudely again.

There is naturally a reason why Zhao Guangzhi has been able to secure the position of guard of Yangyu Pass for so many years. Qi Feng also knows Zhao Guangzhi very well and knows that he will never betray him. The importance of Yangyu Pass is self-evident, so It is a portal of their Blackwater Kingdom, so Qi Feng will never hand over Yangyu Pass to someone he doesn't trust. He can tolerate Zhao Guangzhi's lack of ability, but as long as Zhao Guangzhi is loyal enough, that will be enough.

After all, over the years, their Blackwater Kingdom has always had an advantage over the Nanping Kingdom. The possibility that Yangyu Pass will be threatened is not very high. Moreover, if there is a fight, Yangyu Pass will not be without generals who can fight.

Therefore, Zhao Guangzhi's loyalty allowed him to secure his position as the guard of Yangyu Pass.

But now, Yelu Hongfei actually said that Zhao Guangzhi colluded with the Nanping people. Qi Feng would never believe this.

"I want you to think of a way to solve the problem, not to excuse those people from Shuiyue Kingdom!" Qi Feng said angrily.

"This... general is incompetent and can't think of a good solution." Sun Zhongcai said awkwardly.

"Trash!" Qi Feng looked at all the ministers in the palace and said angrily: "You are all trash! At the critical moment, no one can stand up to share my worries, so what do I need from you?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down, I am guilty!" All the ministers apologized in unison.

However, everyone would rather be scolded by Qi Feng than come up with any ideas, because they all know that since Yelu Hongfei has expressed his unwillingness to leave in the memorial, what else can they think of? It's all useless. The people from the Blackwater Kingdom are already inferior to the people from the Shuiyue Kingdom. What's more, Yelu Hongfei, the most favored prince by the Emperor of the Shuiyue Kingdom, occupies Yangyu Pass. They There was nothing he could do about Yelu Hongfei.

Everyone's apology did not make Qi Feng extinguish the anger in his heart. On the contrary, it made him even more angry because no one could stand up and come up with a solution.

At this moment, another eunuch trotted into the hall.

"What's the matter?!" Qi Feng, who was still angry, glared at the eunuch, making him tremble in his heart.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, City Lord Liu wants to see you." The eunuch said tremblingly.

"What's he doing here? Missing!" Qi Feng was furious, his mind was full of thinking about Yang Yu Pass, so he had no time to go see City Lord Liu.

"Your Majesty, City Lord Liu said that he has something important to see your Majesty. This matter is very important." The eunuch said.

Qi Feng frowned slightly and said, "Let him come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the eunuch went down, the ministers above the main hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief. City Lord Liu came at the right time. His Majesty's attention was finally diverted, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the chief official of the yamen, Lord Liu, hurried to the hall and was about to kneel down to salute Qi Feng.

"Okay, okay, don't kneel down and tell me, what's going on?" Qi Feng said impatiently.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." City Master Liu said.

"Then you say so." Qi Feng said dissatisfied.

"This... this matter needs to be kept secret. Your Majesty, are you..." City Lord Liu looked at the ministers in the hall and hesitated.
