Not to mention, with his previous impression, Zhao Hao was still a little uncomfortable seeing the Empress of Shu talking seriously.
Zhao Hao said softly: "No, Your Majesty is right, and very right, but Your Majesty only said one thing, there is still two things left unsaid."
The Empress of Shu Kingdom immediately became curious and asked, "Oh? Then Mr. Zhao, why don't you tell me about it?"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Majesty said that I have reached the most dangerous edge. This is true. The barbarians in the north will not miss this golden opportunity. This is also true."
"It's all set in stone."
"If Shu Kingdom also joins in, our Dagan will have no chance of surviving and will surely be reduced to ashes."
“All of these are correct.”
"But……"
Zhao Hao deliberately kept the question in suspense.
Princess Li Ge at the side couldn't help but say: "Sir, please speak quickly, I'm really anxious."
Zhao Hao said sternly: "What I want to say is that when my great army is besieged by the three or four countries, it will be reduced to ashes and no longer exist."
"Then what?"
"Your Majesty, you might as well think about this carefully from the perspective of Shu."
"Then what?"
Zhao Hao repeated it again.
Before the Shu Queen could say anything, Zhao Hao continued, "Whether it's Southern Chu, Wu, Shu, or even Yue, they probably all think that I'm too aggressive."
"If it weren't for the wildness holding it back, Dagan might have swallowed up all the surrounding countries long ago."
"So for so many years, countries have been supporting barbarism intentionally or unintentionally. We all know this."
"It is to contain and consume my great strength."
"But your majesty, don't you ever think about what life will be like without me?"
"All my hard work over the years has been like an insurmountable mountain and barrier standing in the way of the wilderness."
"It is precisely because of my existence that the barbaric cavalry has not been able to take a single step beyond the grassland."
"If one day, I am no longer around..."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being frank."
"Including your Shu Kingdom, all other countries are truly lambs to be slaughtered!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress of Shu and Princess Li Ge both changed their expressions.
They really had never thought about this issue before.
Princess Li Ge suddenly remembered that Zhao Hao had said before that those who wanted to stand on the side of Nan Chu and Wu were fools.
She also asked why.
But Zhao Hao didn't say it at the time, and it turned out to be this reason.
yes.
If Da Gan didn't exist, which country could stop the barbaric cavalry?
Can they, the Shu Kingdom, do it?
Stop kidding.
Back then, the Kingdom of Loulan had only a few tens of thousands of troops, and the Kingdom of Shu was unable to completely destroy it.
If it weren’t for God’s help, I don’t know what would have happened.
Rely on Southern Chu and Wu?
Both countries are quite far away from the grassland.
Even if the barbarians invade, it is unlikely that they can reach their country.
Therefore, at that time, it would be their Shu Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom in the east that would suffer.
Seeing the Shu Queen fall into deep thought, Zhao Hao spoke again: "Compared to the barbaric, my Dagan and other countries are at least of the same lineage."
"We have the same ancestors, the same culture, and the same political system."
"At least the fights among our countries are conducted within a framework of rules."
"Once it turns to the wilderness, there are no rules anymore."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The Queen of Shu took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Hao and said, "No wonder Da Gan asked Master Zhao to visit Shu."
"It's true that listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."
"Yes, compared to the big dry, the more terrifying thing is indeed the wilderness."
"However, Dagan and Huangman are actually two cups of poisonous wine for our countries."
"It's just a matter of choosing which cup to drink."
Seeing that Zhao Hao was about to speak, the Queen of Shu waved her hand and stopped him.
"Mr. Zhao, there is no need to deny it."
"Everyone knows it."
"Leave Dagan here. When Dagan has completely recovered, our countries will still be annexed."
"In my opinion, this is also the reason why both Nanchu and Wu are so determined to fight this war with Da Gan."
Zhao Hao did not deny it, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.
…
After returning to the inn from the palace, Zhao Hao took a hot bath.
The temperature in Shu is slightly lower than that in Dagan.
It's a bit unbearable to wash directly with cold water.
Sitting in the bathtub, Zhao Hao’s mind was filled with the two faces of the Empress of Shu.
One is nonsensical, weak, and outspoken.
The other type is mature and steady, with clear thinking and good judgment of current situations.
"Could it be that the Empress of Shu has a split personality?"
"Are both faces real?"
"Is this what dual personality is like?"
He didn't quite understand. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time he had met such a big shot.
As I was thinking about it, the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure walked in quickly.
"My Lord, the news has arrived. Five days ago, Nanchu took the initiative and sent 30,000 troops to attack Qingyun City!"
"The war has begun!"
Zhao Hao's whole body suddenly tensed up. Wu Song walked over, took a small piece of letter paper and handed it to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then came out of the bathtub, put on his robe and walked out from the curtain.
"Bring me the map."
Upon hearing this, Qingniao hurriedly took out a map from his arms and spread it on the desk in front of Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao quickly found the location of Qingyun City on the map.
