"Retreat and seek peace——"

In the camp of Bao's five doctors, some of the officials were almost confused. It didn't mean that they couldn't retreat, but if they retreated at this time, wouldn't Yangguan's early efforts be in vain?

The losses are so heavy that they may not be alleviated in more than ten or twenty years!

"Your Majesty will use people from Chu as envoys today!"

"How can we seek peace?"

boom!

After kicking the case over, someone jumped out angrily, "We have lost hundreds of Bao's children and are we going back to our hometown like this? How can we walk around like this when we see our elders?! When the Wu people attacked me last year, I

The heroes of the five capitals suffered thousands of casualties and never retreated. How can the people of Lu compare with the people of Wu today? At that time, King Wu Wei was still alive, but we, the people of Qi, were the only ones who dared to fight——"

That voice spread out, and everyone inside and outside could hear it clearly.

Outside the entire camp, many young soldiers, especially the children of the Bao family, already knew that your Majesty actually planned to sue for peace and withdraw.

And he has appointed someone from Chu as his envoy and is going to Lu today.

They don't know about this at all!

While the scholar-bureaucrats were very angry, the officers at the bottom were even more angry because they felt it more deeply.

The martial arts warriors who were born as down-and-out warriors had many relatives and friends who were killed and injured in the past few days. The empathy they felt was unimaginable to others.

When his comrades died one by one, and the enemy did not sweep away the entire army, but when he still had a breath of strength left, the superior person actually sold them?!

Many low-level officers were passing news between different camps. In Guoshi's camp, Lang Guan Guofu's face was quite ugly, and his eyes were coldly looking ahead. Not all of the people in the camp were from Guoshi.

The number of men and horses directly under his command was probably about five thousand.

Guofu had a good relationship with the Bao family, so during the critical battle, Bao's Langguan asked him to borrow troops, and he also borrowed three hundred of his own men, all of whom were armored soldiers and euphorbia soldiers.

Unfortunately, the losses were quite astonishing. Among the more than 2,000 horses lost by the Qi army, two were intact, and they were the sons of the Guo clan.

I don’t know if any of them are alive, but the Kuoji main formation plans to redeem these children through diplomatic channels in a few days.

And now, retreat?

That's nothing to redeem yourself from.

"General, what should we do now? If your Majesty insists on negotiating peace, should I let you pay for the ransom?"

"Based on your understanding of Your Majesty's temperament, is it possible for Your Majesty to provide this kind of redemption?"

There are some rules for being a gentleman on the battlefield, and sometimes it depends on whether you are a true gentleman.

Now it seems that this old guy, Marquis of Qi, has made it clear that he is going to be an old gangster and is proficient in everything. If he is held responsible, half of his life will be sacrificed.

It was precisely because of his understanding that Guofu understood that there was not much hope.

"Is there any movement at the Duke's side?"

"Qi's people went to see Guan."

"oh?"

Hearing this news, Guofu breathed a sigh of relief. He counted on his fingers and found that including the Gao family in Qiancheng Yi, there were very few wealthy families in the five capitals who liked Qi Hou.

Even if we discuss with them first about withdrawing troops and suing for peace, this will not happen.

Basic respect is completely gone.

Has the Marquis of Qi forgotten that if it were not for the Gao family and the Guo family's public spirit, in order to safeguard the country's country and the country, it would be his turn to take charge of the "military banner".

Are the "Eight Lords of the Sea of ​​Clouds" qualified to be sacrificed?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Even though in theory, Qihou could be considered his uncle, Guofu really had no intention of treating Qihou as a loyal elder, let alone a kind elder.

"Go to Qi's camp and inquire about it."

"Hi!"

You don’t need to say it in too much detail, you just need to give it a little thought, and you’ll know what you’re talking about.

At this moment, the Marquis of Qi was also staring at the camps of the Wudu wealthy families. Although the different camps were connected to each other, in general, there was no possibility of "camp roaring".

This made Qi Hou even more complacent. As long as he could hold on, nothing would be a problem!

"If I had Chu Qi as my vassal in the old days, how could I have made the Great Demon of Soochow famous?"

The grudge against the old monster Gou Chen finally gave Qi Hou a little possibility of transcending the past.

"Your Majesty, is it a little strange that such a great talent from the Chu State is not used by the people of Chu?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The Marquis of Qi whisked his beard and laughed, "You don't know, in the Chu Kingdom, there is a hen and a chicken in the morning. The Queen Mother of Zhao is just a bitch of the Jin Kingdom. She has the power of the Chu Kingdom. How can she tolerate the heroes of the Jiang and Han Dynasties? Chu Qi ran away to other places.

, exile in other countries is just a common thing."

After saying this, the Marquis of Qi said again: "Don't you hear that 'good birds choose trees to roost'? Although Qi is an old state, its kings are wise and its ministers are wise. Regardless of the talents of Chu, it is Qin, Jin, Wu, Yue, and even the talents of the world.

Used by Qi State."

"What your Majesty said is true..."

"Your Majesty's sincerity and truthful words..."

The free flatterer was immediately slapped on his face, and when all the ministers saw Qi Hou's appearance, they knew that whatever they said was in vain.

The old man is in a very good mood now, so good that he doesn't want to hear anything he doesn't want to hear.

Telling Marquis Qi to be careful about Chu Qi at this moment is all nonsense, and it is all in vain.

While many people were worried, they also wanted to contact the wealthy families of Wudu in private to comfort them first.

If the boss can't say anything, they, the old ministers, still have to help when it's time to help.

But in the afternoon, when I was about to go to the camp of the wealthy people in Wudu to say something nice, someone suddenly said: "If our actions at this time are known to you, wouldn't it be a great crime of arrogance?!"

"How can this be a grave crime? I'm just waiting for..."

Someone was about to retort, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly suppressed them.

Yes, things that were impossible before are really possible now.

The Marquis of Qi, who is addicted to taking power, will not really give you face just because you are an old minister.

The boss didn't say he wanted to appease the agitators, but you wage earners dare to help the boss handle this matter first?

In the past, when power was delegated, this was harmony between the monarch and his ministers; now it is time to withdraw power, it is continuous thunder and pools.

This is a big thunder, this is a deep pit.

At this moment, the faces of several old ministers who were still enthusiastic at first became quite ugly, and they all became gloomy and silent.

After a long while, someone finally said quietly: "In order to save your life, why not stay in the military camp?"

"good."

"good."

"Great kindness!"

Whoever wants to go, I won't take care of you anymore.

If this guy gets into trouble because he wipes the boss's butt, then the boss will take the credit if the matter is successful; but if the matter goes south, the blame will be on him.

Not cost-effective, really not cost-effective.

Or is it the dog's life that matters, isn't it good to live alone?

Isn't it good to mix two pieces of "Kaiyuan Tongbao" issued by Hanzi Kingdom?

In the past few days, many businessmen from the south have brought brand-new gold coins.

On the old version of the gold coins, there were originally the words "Kaiyuan", the symbol of the founding of the Han Dynasty.

The new version of the gold coin has the word "Tongbao" added to it.

There is a saying that the workmanship is exquisite and the quality is excellent. Not only the people of Hanzi country like it, but also the people of Qi country like it.

Not only can it be collected and used for trading, it also maintains its value better than knife coins.

When doing large-scale transactions, having a few "Kaiyuan Tongbao" coins is better than anything else.

Several old officials of the Qi State who were originally full of passion, put out their fire at this moment, returned to their camps honestly, and then thought about how to make a "Five Kaiyuan Tongbao".

Life is your own, only with life can you have money, and only with life can you have "Kaiyuan Tongbao".

On the night when the Marquis of Qi sent the peace envoy, the Qi envoy was still on the way from Wenshui to Qufu. However, there was no sense of urgency within the envoy.

"Chu Qi" was leisurely drinking old wine on the boat. The warm wine quickly diluted the cold and wet atmosphere on the river.

The water was sinking and cold, and the calamus trees along the coast were quite dense. Among the reeds, there were also birds and animals hissing at night.

This kind of scene is actually not seen much in the north, but in the south, it is really too common.

"That's how it was when I went boating on the five lakes in the old years."

When the words came to his lips, "Chu Qi" actually looked a little drunk, and the reminiscence in his eyes made him look old.
