Next, Zhao Hao, on behalf of Dagan, formally signed an alliance treaty between the two countries.
However, the signing of this covenant was carried out in secret.
Zhao Hao did not hesitate and directly handed over half of the method of making the thunder bomb - firing pottery jars.
Then King Xiaoyao was dumbfounded.
Are you serious?
Zhao Hao explained: "Your Majesty, the thunder bomb is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. This is the outer part, and the remaining inner half will be presented to you after the battle."
King Xiaoyao's face darkened: "Lord Zhao, if you say this, you are too insincere!"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Majesty, this is not without sincerity. The fact is that there is no technical difficulty in making a thunder bomb."
"There is no way to give half to Shu."
"If you have to split it in half, this is the half now."
"Besides, I'm in Shu and can't leave for a while. I shouldn't play with my life like this, right?"
King Xiaoyao thought about it and felt that what Zhao Hao said was right.
No matter what, Zhao Hao is now in Shu. No matter how the final battle turns out, as long as Shu does not agree, Zhao Hao will not be able to leave.
After careful consideration, King Xiaoyao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I hope Lord Zhao will not break his promise!"
Zhao Hao quickly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no way I would argue with my own life!"
Next, the Shu Kingdom still appeared to be reaping the benefits.
But there was movement in secret.
Various businesses also continued to cooperate with Zhao Hao.
However, Zhao Hao, Wu Song and Blue Bird never really showed up for all this.
In order to conceal their tracks, King Xiaoyao sent his men to do these things.
According to Zhao Hao's request, all large, medium and small businesses secretly transported grain to the border between Dagan and Shu.
Zhao Hao also conveyed the latest news to the country.
However, although the action was extremely secretive, it was discovered by Princess Yucheng within a few days.
This is Shu after all.
It would be very difficult to hide any disturbance from even her, the eldest princess.
After discovering this, Princess Yuchengchang immediately entered the palace in anger.
Seeing the Empress of Shu, Princess Yu Chengzhang immediately looked unhappy and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really want my Shu to stand on the side of Da Gan?"
The Empress of Shu sighed and said, "Aunt, this is the decision made by my uncle. I..."
"I really have no other choice!"
Princess Yu Chengzhang was furious when she heard this: "Li Yan, you are really going too far!"
"Why should he?"
"Your Majesty, it is obvious that if our Shu Kingdom stands on the side of Nanchu and Wu Kingdom, we will gain greater benefits. Why does Li Yan insist on doing the opposite?"
"How much benefit did he receive from Da Gan?"
“How could you disregard the interests of the country?”
The Empress of Shu Kingdom quickly advised: "Aunt, calm down. Anyway, things have come to this, so just do what the Emperor's uncle thinks."
"Aunt, there is a reason why the emperor's uncle did this."
"It's mainly to get the thunder bomb from Zhao Hao."
"The horror of that thunder bomb is really too scary."
"If our Shu Kingdom gets it, it will be a great thing."
Princess Yuchengchang said in a deep voice: "Zhao Hao is in my Shu Kingdom now. As long as we detain him, everything in his head will be ours!"
"Why do we have to stand on the side of Da Gan?"
"Your Majesty, if you still indulge him at this time, the loss to our Shu Kingdom will be immeasurable!"
Hearing this, the Empress of Shu said, "Aunt, please don't be angry. The conditions negotiated by the Emperor's uncle are actually much better than the conditions you negotiated with King Ying of Wu."
"My uncle has already told me about these things. I think it's okay."
"Aunt, this is a matter of national importance after all, and the Emperor's uncle has a lot of experience."
"Under conditions that are even better than those of my aunt, my Shu Kingdom can still obtain the Thunderbolt without breaking up with Da Gan."
"Aunt, don't you think this is enough?"
When Princess Yuchengchang heard this, her face turned blue and purple, and she became angry and stopped talking.
After standing there for a while, he turned around and walked out.
Just then, the Queen of Shu called him.
"Aunt, it's best not to tell King Ying of Wu about this. It's better to keep it secret for a while."
"The longer we hide, the more our Shu Kingdom can do in secret."
"This is a matter concerning the fundamental interests of our Shu Kingdom."
Princess Yuchengzhang paused, then continued walking.
Next, Shu took bigger actions and began to transfer a large number of troops to the border of Wu.
This kind of thing is destined not to be kept secret for long.
Ten days later, Wu's army of 100,000 soldiers were deployed along the border, and the Wu side was shaken again.
He quickly sent out two groups of waiters.
The Shu army headed directly to the border and reached the Shu imperial capital at the fastest speed.
At the same time, the State of Wu mobilized 50,000 troops and came to the border.
At this time, the Shu Kingdom added another 100,000 troops and made a real war with the Wu Kingdom.
But the State of Wu did not continue to send more troops.
Because they had left behind 100,000 elite troops in the capital, and in addition, tens of thousands had entered the territory of Dagan. If they continued to increase their forces on the border at this moment, there would not be many troops available for deployment.
Moreover, the Wu State has now assembled an army of more than 100,000 in Tongshan.
Even if we want to increase the number of troops, there are not many that can be added.
The situation on the border is tense, and the capital is also continuously transporting various supplies to Dagan.
At this moment, King Laoying already knew the whole situation.
Faced with this situation, King Laoying looked as pale as death and had no idea what to do.
He didn't even understand how the situation had suddenly deteriorated to this extent.
Originally, everything was under control.
Suddenly, it took a sharp turn for the worse...
At this time, the envoy of Wu arrived and asked King Ying why Shu was on the side of Da Gan.
Although Prince Ying was very reluctant to admit it, he finally nodded with difficulty.
After forcing himself to calm down, Prince Ying changed his clothes and went into the palace to meet the Empress of Shu.
The first thing he said was, "Your Majesty, may I ask if Shu is going to end up on the side of Dagan and cut off ties with Wu and Southern Chu?"
The Queen of Shu Kingdom did not hesitate and said immediately: "My Shu Kingdom and Da Gan have formed an alliance. As an ally, we naturally have to stand on the side of Da Gan."
Prince Ying looked unhappy, but he was not giving up. He asked in a deep voice, "So, Shu is going to fight with my Wu?"
The Empress of Shu said softly: "That depends on whether there is a need for war!"
"Your Highness Prince Ying, my words are very important. You'd better tell them to your Prime Minister exactly as they are."
