As soon as the Queen of Shu left, everyone in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
Soon, everyone looked at Zhao Hao with unfriendly eyes.
Princess Li Ge said quickly, "Master Zhao, the banquet is almost over. I will take you back to the inn."
Zhao Hao waved his hand, signaling Princess Li Ge not to be in a hurry, then walked to the center of the hall and coughed lightly.
"Everyone, you may feel very angry at this moment, and feel offended by my poem."
"But, everything has its cause and effect!"
"You all know where salt makes it salty and vinegar makes it sour."
"I apologize for the offense today. Zhao Hao will come to your house to apologize someday. Please don't turn him away, sirs."
Then he turned his head and looked at Princess Li Ge: "Your Highness, let's go."
The blue bird followed behind.
The three of them walked out together.
Looking at Zhao Hao's departing back, all the ministers of Shu Kingdom became excited.
"This boy is too arrogant. This is totally unreasonable!"
"You clearly came to my Shu Kingdom to seek peace, and you didn't want my Shu Kingdom to participate in the war and completely crush Dagan. Yet you dared to write a poem to threaten me. How dare you!"
"His country is in danger, yet he still dares to be stubborn at this moment. Isn't he afraid that our Shu Kingdom will join the war in anger?"
“…”
Those who were filled with righteous indignation were mainly military generals.
As for the civil officials, although their expressions were equally grim, they did not say anything radical.
At this time, a palace servant came to several important officials and said, "Prime Minister, the left and right generals, and several others, His Majesty has summoned you."
The few of them looked at each other, and immediately followed the palace maids to the forbidden palace in the back garden.
As soon as she came in, the Queen of Shu drove out the two lovers who were massaging her legs.
"My dear ministers, news has been reported from the border areas of the three countries. A war is about to break out."
"Where will the Shu Kingdom go? Do we dare to make a final conclusion?"
Upon hearing this, the short, bearded General Liao Sheng stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, this is a godsend opportunity to destroy Dagan. Dagan was founded on military power, and its martial arts are flourishing. Now it has the advantage of thunder and lightning."
"We Shu must participate and get a share of the spoils. If we wait until Dagan is defeated by Southern Chu and Shu, we will get nothing."
The right general also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I agree."
The Queen of Shu Kingdom did not comment and her eyes fell on several civil officials.
Prime Minister Pei Zhu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the left and right generals want to participate in the war so that they can have a share of the spoils after the war. It is right."
"But there is a big premise for this matter, that is, whether Nanchu and Wu can defeat Dagan."
"The combined forces of the two countries, plus the Rong and Di, number nearly 500,000."
"And Dagan has an army of 200,000 at present, but it looks like it's less than half of that."
"But even so, no one can guarantee that a big move will inevitably lead to a loss."
"The army of Dagan is as fierce as wolves and tigers. They have never stopped fighting bloody battles with the barbarians in the north."
"Now, as General Zuo said, with the blessing of thunder bombs, will it really fail?"
"Even though there were 200,000 barbarian troops, there were corpses everywhere and blood flowed like a river under Mubei City."
"Why do we think that the armies of Southern Chu and Wu are more powerful than the barbarian army?"
"Southern Chu and Wu are mostly mountainous. Soldiers will have a huge advantage if they are in the mountains."
"But now, Da Gan must take an absolute defensive stance. Can the Nanchu and Wu coalition forces get away with it?"
"I don't know much about military affairs. I just made some inferences based on common sense. I hope Your Majesty will make your judgment."
After Pei Zhu finished speaking, Doctor Si Lu behind him nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is absolutely correct."
"Especially what Zhao Hao said just now, we have to be on guard."
"Once things develop to that point, the big move will be over. But if it's really as Zhao Hao said..."
"Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers from Dagan are entering our Shu Kingdom with bombs. How should our Shu Kingdom respond?"
"I'm going to say something that may not please the generals. Among the several countries, the soldiers of Shu are the weakest."
"If the defeated army of Dagan enters our Shu Kingdom with a rage that soars to the sky, no one can afford the consequences!"
This is the Kingdom of Shu, this is the court of Shu, or you can also say it is the character of the people of Shu.
There is a kind of cowardice in my bones.
Especially now.
This indecision becomes more obvious when there are more than one or two choices.
The left general Liao Sheng immediately shouted angrily: "This is simply nonsense. If Da Gan fails, they will be a group of lambs to be slaughtered."
"My three-nation coalition will wipe out all their troops like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves."
"That Zhao Hao was just bluffing and talking nonsense. It's ridiculous that Lord Si Lu actually believed it!"
When Doctor Si Lu was refuted by Liao Sheng, he immediately retorted.
"Then may I ask, General Zuo, after all these years of hard work and countless battles, when have you ever become a lamb to be slaughtered?"
"Take the most recent battle of Mubei City, for example. A barbarian army of 200,000 soldiers descended from the sky and directly besieged Mubei City."
"How many Dagan soldiers are there in Mubei City? How long have they been defending?"
"Faced with a barbaric army that is ten times larger than their own, it can even be said that they are in a situation where they are doomed to die, but the army defending the city is still fearless."
"Such a fierce army, in the mouth of General Zuo, has become a lamb to be slaughtered?"
"General Zuo's tone is a bit too arrogant!"
