Chapter 144 Qi Army Headquarters
Prince Qi sat high in the majestic royal tent, the candlelight around him flickering, casting an uncertain shadow on his face.

He was the supreme commander of the Qi army and was always known for his wisdom, courage and strict military discipline.

However, at this moment his face was full of gloom, as if a storm was about to come.

Outside the tent were the densely packed tents of the Qi army, stretching for several miles.

The soldiers of the Qi army were busy moving around, but they were careful to avoid making any noise, because they all knew that King Qi was extremely angry at the moment.

Not long ago, the King of Qi learned a shocking piece of news: Xue Rengui and others escaped unscathed under the heavy siege of the Qi army. This was not only a provocation to the dignity of the Qi army, but also a great insult to the wisdom of the King of Qi.

Prince Qi could not accept such an outcome. He felt that his dignity had been trampled upon like never before.

"Bang!" With a loud noise, Prince Qi slammed the table and stood up.

Prince Qi slammed a piece of information on the table in front of him.

"All gluttons, all of them are gluttons."

"With so many people, how could those loaches escape?"

"You should all feed the pigs!"

His figure looked particularly tall in the candlelight, like a tiger about to become angry.

"how so?!"

King Qi roared, his voice echoing in the royal tent, "So many people, can't they stop just a few people?!"

The generals under his command lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

They knew that Prince Qi's anger at this moment was not directed at any particular person, but was a result of his disappointment and anger towards the entire Qi army.

They also knew what it meant to Prince Qi that Xue Rengui and his men had successfully raided the grain pit and escaped unscathed.

King Qi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that as the leader of an army, he could not let his emotions affect the morale of the entire army.

However, the anger in his heart was difficult to calm down.

"what is going on?"

King Qi asked in a cold voice, his eyes sweeping over the generals under his tent one by one, "I want to hear a detailed report."

A general mustered up his courage, stepped forward, and began to report in detail the course of the operation.

When Xue Rengui and others suddenly appeared in Qizhou, they first encountered a battle with a small group of Qi army.

But no one cares about them.

Then there was the direct raid on the grain, the encirclement by the Qi army, and the final breakout... every detail was not missed.

Listening to the general's report, Prince Qi's expression became increasingly ugly.

His fists were clenched so tightly that the joints made a crackling sound.

The anger in my heart was burning fiercely, as if it was going to devour everything.

"They are all a bunch of trash!"

King Qi shouted angrily, "With so many people, you actually let a few enemies slip away right under your noses! What use do I have for you!"

"Will they rush to my tent the next time I wake up?"

The generals lowered their heads and dared not say a word.

They knew that King Qi's anger at this moment came from the heart, and they could not refute it or shirk responsibility.

Prince Qi paced back and forth in the tent, his anger difficult to calm down.

He could not accept such a defeat, and he could not accept that his Qizhou territory could be freely accessed by an enemy force.

This made him feel that his authority was greatly challenged.

Prince Qi's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes swept over the generals under the tent one by one.

He paused and took a few deep breaths.

Forcibly suppress the anger in my heart.

Things have already happened. It's no use getting angry any more.
The most urgent task is to come up with a solution.

"You guys." Prince Qi spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful, "Xue Rengui and others managed to escape unscathed despite our encirclement."

"This is a shame for our Qi Army and a shame for every one of us."

The generals under his command lowered their heads and remained silent, for they all knew that what King Qi said was the truth.

This failure was a huge blow to them and they could not accept such an outcome.

"We can't just let it go,"

Prince Qi continued, "Xue Rengui and his men are currently rampant in Qizhou. They are a serious threat to us. If we don't get rid of them, our Qi army will never have peace."

"So, I hope you can put your heads together and come up with a good countermeasure to deal with them."

"otherwise."

As soon as King Qi finished his gloomy words, a general stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should strengthen our defense and prevent sneak attacks from Xue Rengui and others."

"At the same time, send out elite troops to pursue them and make sure they are captured in one fell swoop."

Prince Qi nodded slightly, his expression softened a little: "Your suggestion is good, it is necessary to strengthen defense."

"But it's not enough to just defend, we also need to be proactive."

"Xue Rengui and others were able to pose a huge threat to Qizhou in such a short period of time. I think they must be difficult to deal with."

"If we don't take some extraordinary measures, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them."

Another general thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, we can set a trap to lure Xue Rengui and the others into the trap."

"As long as they dare to come, they will never return."

"Set a trap?"

Prince Qi frowned slightly, "This idea is quite novel."

"But Xue Rengui and the others are not fools. Will they fall into the trap so easily?"

"Besides, even if they do take the bait, we must be strong enough to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"According to intelligence, even if there is no God of War in Xue Rengui and his men's army, there are still several Godly Generals."

In the previous two battles, Xue Rengui and his four companions had not encountered any particularly difficult opponents.

Therefore, Jiao Mo and Mo Peng, both gods of war, only used their internal energy to attack.

The God of War's iconic form was not used.

Although there are still some differences from the God General.

But they didn't encounter any very strong opponents.

Therefore, it is impossible to tell that Jiao Mo and Mo Peng are actually at the level of God of War.

So, this is how the information gap is created.

At this time, Prince Qi and his men had no idea of ​​the seriousness of the matter.

The generals under his command were still discussing and expressing their opinions.

King Qi listened to the generals' suggestions, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head.

These suggestions all make sense, but they also have some problems and risks.

He must think carefully before he can make the right decision.

As time passed, the generals' discussions gradually died down.

"I have listened to your suggestions, and they all make sense."

"But I think we should take a more prudent and effective approach."

Finally, King Qi took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

The generals all raised their heads and looked at King Qi, waiting for his next words.
