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

It has been a few years since the construction of Duke Huan Xiang, the sixth monarch of Huan Kingdom. It was originally intended to fight against the Jinling coalition. However, now, with the changes in the territory of Huan Kingdom, it has become Neiguan, not an important place, and it has been disrepair for a long time.

The Ghost King's meaning is already very clear. Occupying this place, advancing, you can attack the heartland of the Central Plains, retreat, and return to the current Huan Realm.

More importantly, this pass is like a gate leading to the northeast of the central zone. If it is stuck here, Huan Kingdom is locked in the gate and is isolated from the nations.

After hearing this, Urcha said in a little puzzled manner: "But Your Majesty, Wuxia Pass is too far away from us. Should we give up these great cities nearby and occupy a desolate pass?"

The Ghost King smiled and looked at him and said, "The enjoyment in front of you is only temporary. The Central Plains are very large, and it spans thousands of miles. A Huan Kingdom only occupies a corner of the northeast. We must make long-term plans and make more than advance or retreat."

"Wuxia Pass seems inconspicuous, but it is actually the key point. Isn't it easy for us to occupy this place first, block the nearby Jiaotong Fortress, divide the entire Northeast territory from the Central Plains, and then slowly clean up the divided land?"

From this we can see that the Ghost King has some military ideas, not a good deal.

After hearing his explanation, Urcha couldn't help but feel sorry for it: "Your Majesty said that you should first occupy Wuxia Pass and prevent other countries from entering Huan Kingdom. We will plunder it at will within Huan Kingdom."

"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 his attitude towards the Ghost King was.

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

Urcha said: "Yu Anmin has provided us with some food and grass funding, but he has also begun to ask for land."

"Well..." The Ghost King pondered for a moment and said, "Give him the few empty cities he occupied. Now Yu Anmin is of great use to us. If not a certain degree, don't offend him too much, just coax him a little."

"Yes, I will understand." Urcha quickly responded.

The battlefield in Huandi changed a lot with the arrival of the Ghost King. First, the counties were lost one after another, and then Xiang Ge was beaten and abandoned his armor. The entire 300,000 troops were almost completely damaged.

In the Huan Army camp, he was in the position of commander, and he kept sighing.

Now is not the time to discuss troops. All the generals are not here, and there are only staff members who follow him all year round in the tent.

After sighing again, Xiang Ge said with a sad face: "Sir, this battle has ended in such a crushing defeat, how can I explain to the king..."

Upon hearing this, the staff first thought about it, and then said: "The responsibility for the failure of this battle is not entirely due to General Xiang, but after all, our army suffered heavy losses. When the news came back, the king might be furious. At this time, General Xiang should make plans first and then report the war."

"Sir, I mean..."

The staff said: "I inform Lord Guo and the others first, let them prepare in advance and say good things to Xiang Shuai in front of the king. In addition, there is Sun Qi. This time, he must not let him stand up again, otherwise, Xiang Shuai will be killed."

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

The analysis of the staff is actually correct. Judging from the defeat, Xiang Ge will find it difficult to revive the court this time. If Sun Qi comes out again and replaces his position and defeats the Ghost Army, then his head will probably not be able to be saved.

Whether out of his own life or selfish considerations, Xiang Ge undoubtedly accepted the opinions of his aides and immediately sent a letter to his minister Guo Kai. Only after these were completed did he dare to pass the current war report to Wang Ting.

A few days later, Huandu.

Late at night, on the street.

Sun Qi was covering the wound on his shoulder with one hand, leaning against an alley wall, sucking in the air in pain.

I took my palm away and looked at it. Although it was dark, I could still feel the blood all over my hands.

He gritted his teeth secretly.

Just now, he was almost killed by two assassins.

After destroying Liang, King Huan believed in slander and Sun Qi was not allowed to use it. He was even persecuted by treacherous ministers and was sent to prison several times.

Before, he could still seek the protection of the old man, but just a while ago, the old man had passed away, and the treacherous ministers had become more and more persecuted, and now they are even more blatant to assassinate him.

It can be said that his ability to escape under the assassin is purely fate.

But even if he escaped here, it was not a solution. Huandu, he might not be able to get out.

Thinking of this, he felt full of regret and guilt towards his wife.

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

"Quick! Don't let that kid run away!"

"You go over there!"

Sun Qi gritted his teeth, and did not care about the wounds. He forced himself to hold him up and wanted to escape from here. But just a few steps away, the door of a house behind him quietly opened. Then, a palm suddenly covered his mouth.

Then, without any extra movement, he dragged him away.

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

I was forcibly dragged through the courtyard and into the house, and I saw darkness.

Knowing that he had been restrained, although Sun Qi did not make any unnecessary struggles, his heart naturally raised.

He was a little nervous and restless, his eyes looked around in the dark night.

"If you want to survive, don't call me."

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

Sun Qi is so smart, and he has heard in just one sentence that the people here are probably not the same as the assassins.

In front of him was a young man dressed in brocade clothes, with a white face, very young and ordinary appearance, and he was the type that he could never find after being thrown into the crowd.

The big man behind him was waiting respectfully, obviously a young man.

Sun Qigang saw the scene clearly, and before he could ask questions, the young man said with a smile:

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

"You are..." Sun Qi frowned in confusion, as if he had forgotten the wound on his body.

The young man looked at him and said with a smile: "I think it's time to bandage the general's wound first and talk about other things, but before that, I can introduce myself."

"My name is Hou Qing, a native of Qin. I am specially ordered by my king to meet General Sun here. In fact, we have blocked several crises for you in secret, but you don't know it yourself."
