Chapter 357 Counterattack!



"I hope you won't misunderstand me, sir."

"My Lord, it's your turn. If you don't have any poems..."

Zhao Hao snorted and laughed, saying, "It's just a poem, what's the difficulty?"

As he spoke, Zhao Hao flicked his sleeves, picked up the pen, and began to write at an extremely fast speed. The whole process was done in one go without any delay.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen, swung away the paperweight, picked up the paper, and handed it to the bluebird behind him.

"Read it to your majesty and the gentlemen present."

"Yes, sir."

Bluebird reached out to take it, and also wanted to see what kind of poem Zhao Hao wrote in the blink of an eye.

Although she was standing behind Zhao Hao, there was still some distance between them.

So I didn’t see it.

At this moment, he reached out to take it and unfolded the paper in his hands.

All of a sudden, her eyes widened, and her entire icy face changed abruptly.

Seeing this, everyone became more curious about what kind of poem Zhao Hao had written.

All eyes fell on the blue bird.

I only heard the bluebird chanting in a deep voice:

"The clouds over Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains,"

"The lonely city looks out to Yumen Pass."

"A hundred battles in the yellow sand wear out the golden armor,"

"I will not return until I have conquered Loulan."

As the blue bird recited, the expressions of all the Shu court officials present changed.

The first sentence is calm.

The second sentence is doubtful.

The third sentence is amazing.

The fourth sentence...

anger!

Because this poem is a ruthless counterattack.

And without changing a single word, it is perfect.

Snow Mountains of Qinghai.

Yumen Pass.

There is also Loulan.

These three places are actually in the northwest region of Shu Kingdom.

A hundred years ago, the Shu Kingdom was also invaded by foreign enemies.

The enemy comes from the snow-capped mountains of Qinghai.

The Kingdom of Loulan.

The entire area outside Yumen Pass is a battlefield.

Back then, under the invasion of the Loulan cavalry, the Shu Kingdom was in an extremely miserable state.

In the end, God helped me a lot.

A heavy snowstorm froze to death a large number of cattle, sheep and horses of Loulan Kingdom, causing the national strength of Loulan Kingdom to decline sharply.

The Shu Kingdom then seized the opportunity, defeated it, and completely destroyed the Loulan Kingdom. It established Zhangquan County on the original site of the Loulan Kingdom.

He turned Loulan into his own territory.

The threat in the northwest was quelled.

The last two lines of Zhao Hao's poem: "A hundred battles in the yellow sand have worn away my golden armor, and I will not return until I have conquered Loulan" clearly indicate his intention to flatten the entire Shu Kingdom, from the eastern part of Shu, the border with Dagan, all the way to the northwesternmost part of Shu, straight to Loulan.

How could such a poem not make these Shu court officials angry?

Even the Empress of Shu and Princess Li Ge next to them had their expressions changing again and again.

The middle-aged man's face turned extremely ugly. He glared at Zhao Hao and gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Zhao... Lord Zhao Hao, are you provoking my Shu Kingdom?"

Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just worried about Shu."

"Just imagine, if Shu Kingdom participated in it and ultimately failed, the result would probably be..."

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged general among the generals stood up with a sneer.

"Lord Zhao, I think you should stop worrying about nothing!"

"The troops of Southern Chu and Wu alone exceed 400,000. Add in the troops of Rongdi. Even without Shu, you will face a strong army of more than 500,000. How dare Lord Zhao speak so arrogantly here?"

“It’s really hilarious to think about it!”

"If we add the Shu army to the mix, Lord Zhao, after this battle, Da Gan will probably disappear from this world!"

"Destroy Loulan?"

"It can only be broken in a dream, right?"

“Hahahahahahaha…”

“…”

Upon hearing this, all the Shu court officials couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Zhao Hao shrugged indifferently, smiled faintly and said: "In fact, I have already thought about it, if it really reaches a point where I can't resist it."

"Then I won't resist at all."

"I will choose to retain enough fresh troops, and bring a large number of bombs. I will no longer care about Wu or Shu. I will fight wherever I go and eat wherever I fight."

"With the combat power of our army and the support of thunder bombs, we don't need too many. Even 50,000 or 80,000 people will be enough."

"I believe there is no army in the world that can stop it."

"Everyone, I guess you haven't seen the thunder bomb invented by Zhao with your own eyes. What kind of power is it?"

"Oh, by the way, Her Highness Princess Li Ge seems to know."

"When the envoys from Wu and Shu came to the capital, I had some unpleasant experiences with the third prince of Wu."

"So, one night, I threw a thunder bomb into the courtyard of the inn where the third prince of Wu lived."

"Your Highness, do you remember?"

Princess Li Ge nodded upon hearing this.

Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Then Your Highness, could you please tell me about the power of my thunder bomb?"

A look of reminiscence and fear appeared in Princess Li Ge's beautiful eyes.

Then, he said solemnly, "With just one bullet, a huge pit of more than ten feet was blown out in the whole courtyard. The solid courtyard wall was knocked down. If the young master had not intentionally held back, the entire second-floor attic would have collapsed."

hiss……

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed drastically and they all gasped.

Of course, they had heard about the terrible power of the thunder bomb before.

During the battle of Mubei City, they had scouts reporting on the battle situation.
