"Or rather, is General Pei Renji willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers to stop the Wagang Army without any reinforcements?”
"You have to know that Tiger Cage Pass's Imperial Censor Xiao Huaijing has a huge grudge with Pei Renji. He would find trouble with Pei Renji every other day. Under such circumstances, would Pei Renji patiently maintain his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty?”
Qin Qiong frowned again when he heard this.
The Imperial Censors had great power. They were the emissaries sent by the Emperor to supervise the generals who led troops outside. They had the right to impeach the generals to the court.
Some of the more powerful censors even had the right to act first and report later!
Thus, if there was such a person in the army who kept badmouthing Pei Renji to the court, Pei Renji would probably feel very uneasy.
Especially since the current Emperor Yang Guang was still a suspicious person. He had already begun to be suspicious and was no longer as wise and mighty as before.
Therefore, if Yang Guang believed Xiao Huaijing's words, he might be able to kill Pei Renji.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it was hard to say whether Pei Renji would remain loyal to the Sui Dynasty!
Qin Qiong himself had very deep feelings about this. After all, they often had to deal with such military supervisors in the past.
Qin Qiong, who had been in the army for about 20 years, understood the power of this relationship.
"So, what do you mean?"
"If the situation is not good, Pei Renji will definitely join Li Mi. If the general defected to him, wouldn't he be in an unjust place?”Song Shidao asked.
"This…"
Qin Qiong frowned even more. Zhang Xutuo had done him a great favor, and Wa Gang was the murderer of Zhang Xutuo. Unless he had no other choice, he would never be willing to join Wa Gang.
"Does Young Master want us to go to Lingnan? I've long heard that the Song Clan of Lingnan has always had the ambition to seize the world. I believe that you won't let this opportunity slip away in this chaotic world, right?”
Qin Qiong understood what Song Shidao meant. He was tempted, but he hesitated. He didn't want to betray the Sui Dynasty yet.
"General, you're already in your forties this year, right? He had been in the army for 20 years, but he had always been an outstanding general. He had never received a big promotion. He had made so many military achievements, but he could only be reduced to this position. There must be some hidden reason behind this!”
Qin Qiong's expression changed as soon as he heard Song Shidao's words. His eyes were filled with hatred.
"I heard that General Zhang Xutuo has reported your military achievements many times and asked the Imperial Court to put you in an important position, but the Imperial Court has repeatedly rejected his request!”
"This is all because of the villains of the Imperial Court!”Luo Shixin said angrily. He also felt that Qin Qiong's fate was unfair.
To be fair, who wouldn't want to be promoted to a higher position? Who didn't want to bring more soldiers?
Especially since Qin Qiong was a famous general with powerful martial arts and a broad mind. He naturally wanted to obtain a position that matched his talent.
However, he had been in the army for twenty years, but he had been suppressed in such a low position. How could he be convinced?
The reason why the court stopped Qin Qiong from rising was simple. He was the son of a Northern Qi minister.
Sui Wendi had replaced Bei Zhou in the Sui Dynasty, and Bei Zhou's greatest enemy back then was Northern Qi.
Although Sui Wendi replaced Bei Zhou, the group of people he ruled over were still the old officials of Bei Zhou, and the nobles he ruled over were still the nobles of Bei Zhou.
The aristocrats of Bei Zhou naturally could not stand the old Northern Qi people. Thus, the Sui Dynasty's Ministry of War had an unwritten rule that no old Northern Qi people could be put in an important position!
It was precisely because of this that Qin Qiong's background had prevented him from being placed in an important position by the Imperial Court. He had always been a general who could not be considered very high-ranking.
Song Shidao's words had hit Qin Qiong's sore spot, making his last hope for the imperial court disappear.
"I'm not afraid to tell General Qin that the Song Clan will soon rise up. With the strength of the Song Clan, it won't be difficult for them to seize the world!”
"If General Qin were to stand on the Song Clan's side now, not only would he be put in an important position by the Song Clan in the future, but he would also have the opportunity to take revenge for General Zhang Xutuo.”
Song Shidao threw out a suggestion that Qin Qiong couldn't refuse!
After Qin Qiong thought for a moment, he laughed bitterly and said,""Since the young master of the Song clan has said so, what choice does Qin Qiong have?”
Qin Qiong had already made his choice!
"Haha, General Qin, don't worry. With your talents, you will definitely be put in an important position in the Song Clan!”Song Shidao laughed.
"Actually, Young Master doesn't need to say so much. With your life-saving grace, as long as you say it clearly, how can we refuse?”Qin Qiong laughed bitterly.
"I saved you all because of the morality of the martial world. I didn't want to force you to join the Song clan!”
Qin Qiong remained silent, but his admiration for Song Shidao rose to another level!
