When the letter arrived, the Kingdom of Shu had already prepared a grand celebration.

Today, Zhao Hao had another discussion with King Xiaoyao.

The two chatted about Da Gan's purchase of a large amount of supplies, and then talked about the Shu army's deployment on the border of Wu.

Because of Shu's resolute attitude and the second reinforcement, Wu had mobilized 60,000 troops for defense.

Compared with before, the State of Wu added another 10,000 troops.

This is the maximum limit.

Zhao Hao also expressed his approval of this result.

The State of Wu has made its attitude clear. Unless the State of Shu declares war, it will not continue to send more troops.

It was impossible for Shu Kingdom to go to war. The two sides had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

This is an acceptable result for Da Gan.

At Tongshan, the Wu State's nearly 100,000 troops had been surrounding it for almost a month.

Surround but don't attack.

He wanted to completely trap and kill the 30,000 troops in the city.

However, this is by no means something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

Because Xiao Chuyun had 200,000 dan of grain in his hands, which would be enough to last for at least five months.

Da Gan was also sending reinforcements to Tongshan and Jianning.

Judging from the current situation, Dagan has basically defended against the attacks from Southern Chu and Wu.

Once all the supplies from Shu are transported back, Da Gan will have the capital to fight this battle.

However, even so, the pressure is still very great.

Because Da Gan didn't have much money, the supplies he could buy were not many.

Zhao Hao had to borrow money to barely buy enough supplies to last for half a year.

What will be exchanged in the future is not money, but a large number of finished bombs.

The Shu Kingdom has a big appetite. It wants the method of making the thunder bomb and the finished thunder bomb.

In response, Zhao Hao agreed without any hesitation.

After talking about the battlefield situation, the two talked about the alliance ceremony.

It was agreed that the ceremony would be held three days later.

Then, the news of the alliance between the two countries spread throughout the imperial capital.

For a small group of people with relatively high status, this news has actually been discovered from the recent frequent purchases of supplies.

The vast majority of ordinary people still don’t know.

At this moment, as soon as this news came out, it immediately caused widespread discussion.

Many people were puzzled as to why Shu chose to stand on the side of Dagan instead of Wu.

Even, anger arose.

Because the two countries have been friendly for too long.

For decades, the Wu and Shu countries have been interdependent.

Many people have this understanding since they were born.

Now, their cognition was suddenly shattered, and of course they were very angry.

However, there were also a small number of people who, after learning about the war situation of the Three Kingdoms, supported the war.

Because they saw the power of Da Gan.

Knowing this, he led 30,000 troops to defeat 100,000 and wiped out 40,000 troops of Wu in one night.

Of course, we cannot make enemies with such a fierce and powerful army.

Standing together and forming an alliance is the more correct choice.

Of course, what ordinary people think is not important at all.

Whether you oppose angrily or raise your hands in support, it's useless.

Because the alliance ceremony has been decided and no one can change it.

After returning from Xiaoyao Palace, Zhao Hao took out Jiang Wan'er's letter and read it carefully.

In the letter, Jiang Wan'er praised Zhao Hao highly.

Very satisfied with everything Zhao Hao has done in Shu.

Hope he returns home soon.

At the end of the letter, Jiang Wan'er also used the official style that Zhao Hao had used before to compose a poem "Waiting for Your Return".

At the same time, the letter also briefly informed Zhao Hao of the situation at home, saying that everything was fine and asking him not to worry.

It also talked about Princess Yongning's situation.

Zhao Hao put the letter away, feeling a sense of longing in his heart.

This is the first time I’ve traveled far away since I came to this world, and it’s been so long. It would be a lie to say I don’t miss you.

Moreover, he had made such a great contribution this time, and he was very much looking forward to seeing how Jiang Wan'er would express it after returning.

It’s not too much to relax, right?

…

Three days later, the alliance ceremony was officially held, with all the Shu court officials and all the royal family members participating.

After a series of tedious ceremonies, the party began with singing, dancing and feasting.

Zhao Hao saw his first partner after arriving in Shu Kingdom, Princess Yuchengchang.

He hasn't seen the eldest princess for some time.

Of course Zhao Hao couldn't pretend not to see it, so after the Queen of Shu finished her speech, he picked up the wine and walked towards Princess Yucheng.

"Your Highness, are you feeling well lately?"

"Today, I have formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Shu. Actually, I have to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for her efforts!"

"If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so smooth."

What Zhao Hao said was not a joke, but a true test of his strength.

Because, if she hadn't been too greedy, she would have turned around and cooperated with the State of Wu and wanted to do things that she shouldn't have done after the war.

The Empress of Shu and King Xiaoyao would not be so determined to choose to do something big.

So, Princess Yu Chengzhang did put in some effort.

However, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not understand the true feelings in Zhao Hao's words at all. Instead, she thought that Zhao Hao was humiliating her.

Therefore, when Princess Yu Chengzhang heard what Zhao Hao said, she became furious and was about to explode with anger.

"Lord Zhao, the most taboo thing for this person is to get carried away."

"Otherwise, something bad might happen to you."

Zhao Hao grinned and said, "Your Highness the Princess is right. I will remember it."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "I toast to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Princess Yucheng looked extremely unhappy. She snorted coldly, stood up, looked at the Empress of Shu and said, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, so I will go back first!"

After saying this, he left without even waiting for the Queen of Shu to speak.

The Shu Kingdom Empress's eyes fixed for a moment, then she returned to normal, and quickly smiled and said to Princess Yucheng: "Then aunt, go back and rest first."

The banquet started in the afternoon and lasted until dusk, when it gradually came to an end.

Then, the Queen of Shu summoned Zhao Hao into the inner palace.

The two walked in the imperial garden, one in front and one behind.

The Queen of Shu Kingdom did not say anything, and Zhao Hao did not know why the other party summoned him.

He simply didn't say anything and just followed slowly behind.

As they walked, the Queen of Shu stopped and sent away the several maids who were following them.

After the maids left, she looked at Zhao Hao and said softly, "Mr. Zhao, I love your talent. Can you consider becoming the son-in-law of my Shu Kingdom?"

"There are only you and me here. You should be able to understand my sincerity, right?"

Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Queen of Shu Kingdom would talk about this matter.
