Chapter 1746: Can't figure it out

Qi Feng hated and even loathed Peng Chuan, that was for sure, otherwise, he would not have issued an order to kill Peng Chuan's family.

However, at this moment, Qi Feng's heart actually began to miss Peng Chuan for the first time, not because of anything else, but because the Sun Zhongcai in front of him was too incompetent.

Since Sun Zhongcai accepted the army of the whole country, Qi Feng did not doubt his ability too much, and could even be said to have great trust in him.

However, after what happened in front of him, Qi Feng began to question Sun Zhongcai's ability.

When Peng Chuan led the army before, Qi Feng had never been troubled by similar things. However, now that Peng Chuan was gone and Sun Zhongcai began to take power, things changed. It was at this time that Qi Feng realized the importance of Peng Chuan.

However, it was obviously too late to realize the importance of Peng Chuan at this time. As the emperor of Heishui State, Qi Feng had personally determined Peng Chuan's identity and executed all of Peng Chuan's relatives. Under such circumstances, it was absolutely impossible for Peng Chuan to serve their Heishui State again.

Therefore, Qi Feng's mood at this time was very complicated. On the one hand, he missed the feeling when Peng Chuan was there, and on the other hand, he was very angry at Sun Zhongcai's incompetence.

But things have already happened, and it is useless for him to regret it. At present, he can only bite the bullet and go to the end.

"Your Majesty." Sun Zhongcai reacted to Qi Feng's scolding and said quickly: "I think the current plan is to send envoys to negotiate with the generals of those armies and let them withdraw their troops. As long as Your Majesty promises that this matter will not be blamed, I believe that there will still be some generals who will return to the right path."

This is what Sun Zhongcai can think of at present, and answer Qi Feng's words.

In fact, Sun Zhongcai himself knows that this method is not feasible, because after discovering that these armies are moving, he sent envoys to negotiate with the leaders of these armies, but the result made him very dissatisfied.

No general followed his advice to withdraw. All the people were still approaching Linshui City. Some military commanders even killed the messengers he sent to show their attitude.

These things made Sun Zhongcai very angry, but he could do nothing about it. He knew that Peng Chuan's position in the army of Heishui Country was not something he could replace in the short term. Although Sun Zhongcai had done his best and done a lot of things during this period, some things could not be changed in a short time.

But in front of Qi Feng, Sun Zhongcai obviously couldn't say that. He knew very well that if he said that, Qi Feng would never let him go. For now, he could only say whatever he thought of, delay some time, and give him more reaction time.

"Sun Zhongcai, do you think this method can work?" Qi Feng said with a little doubt.

In Qi Feng's view, Sun Zhongcai's statement was a solution, but Qi Feng was not sure whether this method was effective.

However, in the current situation, Qi Feng instinctively felt that this method would not work.

As for the reason, it was because he had issued several imperial edicts before, trying to dissuade those troops from moving, but it had no effect at all, so at this time, he did not have much confidence.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, we can give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, we can still delay some time." Sun Zhongcai said: "In addition, we can ask for help from Yang Yuguan."

"Yang Yuguan?" Qi Feng was slightly stunned.

Yang Yuguan is now a special existence in Heishui State. Everyone in the court knows that although Yang Yuguan is still a city of their Heishui State on the surface, in fact, Yang Yuguan is no longer under their control.

First it was Yelu Hongfei, and then it was Yelu Honglin.

Originally, the people of Heishui thought that Yelu Hongfei was already very difficult to deal with, so they agreed to appoint Yelu Honglin as the special envoy of Yangyu Pass, not to hand Yang Yuguang over to Shuiyue, but to let the eldest and second princes of Shuiyue compete with each other, so that they could gain benefits from it.

But things did not develop as they imagined.

It is true that Yelu Hongfei occupied Yangyu Pass first, but soon after, the owner of Yangyu Pass changed. The eldest prince of Shuiyue, Yelu Honglin, occupied Yangyu Pass, and the commander of Yangyu Pass was Wu Yun appointed by Heishui.

In fact, when they appointed Wu Yun as the commander of Yangyu Pass, they did not intend to hand Yangyu Pass over to Shuiyue. They just wanted to let the two princes of Shuiyue compete with each other, so that they could gain benefits from it.

However, the development of the matter was not what they thought. The position of the guard of Yangyu Pass changed quickly. Yelu Hongfei died. Yelu Honglin's people, that is, the guard appointed by their Black Water Kingdom, actually laughed at the end. This was something that everyone in Black Water Kingdom did not expect.

Originally, in the eyes of everyone in Black Water Kingdom, this was a battle of equal strength, but this battle ended too quickly, so quickly that they did not have any reaction, and the final result was completely beyond their expectations.

The eldest prince of Shuiyue Kingdom actually won the victory easily. The people he sent actually took control of the situation in a short time and quickly occupied Yangyu Pass.

It can be said that the initial plan of the Black Water Nation was completely thwarted. Now, Yangyu Pass is still the territory of the Black Water Nation, but in fact, it has completely escaped the control of the Black Water Nation.

"Yes, it is Yangyu Pass!" Sun Zhongcai said: "Now Yangyu Pass is under the control of the Shuiyue Nation, that is to say, Yangyu Pass has not been eroded by Peng Chuan's power. With our friendship with the Shuiyue Nation, we can ask them for help. Peng Chuan's power and influence are not weak, but compared with the people of the Shuiyue Nation, it is far inferior. As long as the people of the Shuiyue Nation send troops to help us, we can annihilate them. At that time, the Black Water Nation is still under our control."

Qi Feng did not speak, but frowned and thought carefully. He felt that what Sun Zhongcai said made sense. If they asked for help from the Shuiyue Nation, and the Shuiyue Nation was willing to help, then the things they are facing now would not be a problem at all.

Thinking of this, Qi Feng said: "Sun Aiqing, you should contact Yangyuguan immediately and ask them to send troops to help us. As for the conditions, we can discuss them."
