Coming out of the backyard, everything in the front was ready. When all the officials and generals saw Zhao Hao coming, they all stood up.
Zhao Hao smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Everyone, please sit down. Today, we won the battle and successfully captured the King Xiaoyao of Shu. This is an unparalleled victory for us!"
As he spoke, he bent down, picked up his wine glass, and motioned to everyone.
"Everyone, let's raise our glasses and drink together!"
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and drank them all in one gulp.
Zhao Hao asked everyone to sit down again. He really didn't expect that in today's battle, he could capture King Xiaoyao in one fell swoop.
This can be said to have solved the threat from Shu to a large extent.
The Kingdom of Shu should not disregard King Xiaoyao's life.
This meant that the reinforcements from Shu Kingdom that would arrive later would definitely not dare to act rashly.
Be careful when using the right weapon!
If King Xiaoyao was not captured, another bloody battle would be inevitable when the reinforcements from Shu arrived.
After drinking several cups in a row, Zhao Hao glanced around and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Why can't I see King Xiaoyao?"
"Someone, go and invite King Xiaoyao over. He is our amulet now!"
"How can we not treat you well?"
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and someone immediately went to invite King Xiaoyao over.
King Xiaoyao no longer had any armor on his body, only a very shabby thin set of clothes.
He was wearing a pair of heavy shackles on his feet.
Seeing him come in, everyone's eyes turned to him.
The shackles collided with each other, making a clanking sound.
Walking to the center of the hall, King Xiaoyao slowly raised his head and looked towards Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Didn't I tell you? King Xiaoyao is my VIP. How can you treat my VIP like this?"
"Why don't you remove the shackles quickly?"
Hearing what he said, someone came up immediately and removed the shackles on King Xiaoyao's feet.
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "King Xiaoyao, I'm sorry to have wronged you!"
King Xiaoyao said indifferently: "How dare a defeated general let Lord Zhao treat him like this!"
Zhao Hao said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common in the military."
"Come here, please take a seat, Your Majesty!"
Soon, someone brought over another table, which was immediately filled with food and drinks.
King Xiaoyao walked over and sat down behind the desk.
Xiaoyao raised his glass and said, "Your Majesty, we are old acquaintances. I toast you!"
King Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, but said nothing.
Zhao Hao ignored him and continued drinking with the officials and generals.
The banquet was almost over and everyone dispersed. Zhao Hao picked up the wine glass, walked to the side of King Xiaoyao and sat down.
"Your Majesty, I think you must know what I am going to do next, right?"
Xiaoyao Wangdao: "I'm afraid my portion is not enough!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "You are a prince and the god of war of Shu. If your weight is not enough, then I really don't know who else has enough weight!"
King Xiaoyao said: "Lord Zhao thinks too highly of me!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, come on, have a drink. Hey, actually I don't want to get to this point today."
"We worked hard, but we didn't want to end up like this."
"But, Shu, why do you insist on following Wu and Nanchu and going down the same path till the end?"
“This is very confusing to me!”
King Xiaoyao snorted and laughed, "My Lord, you are joking. Everyone knows that the Queen Dagan is ambitious and wants to annex all the countries as soon as possible."
"How can our Shu Kingdom be spared?"
Zhao Hao was silent. The other party was right. Jiang Wan'er was indeed very ambitious.
However, at this time, he couldn't just say nothing.
"Your Majesty, we use military force against the barbarians because we are old enemies with them."
"We used our military force against Yue because of its betrayal."
"In the future, we may also use military force against the State of Wu, because the State of Wu has been trying to destroy us for so many years and will do it as soon as possible."
"But, we don't seem to have these problems with Shu."
"What is Shu worried about for nothing?"
"Could it be that I, Da Gan, would use military force against Shu without any reason?"
"Since ancient times, every war must have a legitimate reason."
"If Shu does not invade our Dagan, how can we invade Shu?"
Upon hearing this, King Xiaoyao sneered, "Sir, these words can only deceive a three-year-old child."
"Tell me, sir, do you think I will believe it?"
Zhao Hao said: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Is what I said wrong?"
"Since ancient times, has anyone who bullied the weak ever had a good ending?"
"Even during the Warring States Period, when there was great contention, a powerful country like Qin that destroyed the six kingdoms would have used the army of justice, rather than forcibly conquering without any justification, right?"
"If this is true, how can we stop the people from speaking ill of us?"
King Xiaoyao didn't say anything and poured himself another glass of wine.
Then, he tilted his head back and drank it.
After drinking it all, he slowly stood up and said, "Lord Zhao, I'm tired, so I'll go back first!"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, please do as you please!"
After King Xiaoyao walked away, Wusong walked over slowly.
"Sir, the reinforcements from Shu are almost here, less than a hundred miles away."
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "Just keep a close eye on the situation!"
Having said that, he stood up and walked towards the study.
When he arrived at the study, he picked up his pen and began to write a war report.
After it was finished, he immediately handed it over to Wusong, asking him to send it back to the capital as soon as possible.
Then he got up, left the study and returned to the backyard.
When I pushed open the door and came in, I saw Jiang Yiren still lying on the bed.
But, I'm awake.
Seeing Zhao Hao coming in, Jiang Yiren quickly sat up from the bed.
I was about to go downstairs and make tea for Zhao Hao.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao hurriedly walked to the bed and sat down, saying, "Aunt, don't get up."
Jiang Yiren said softly, "You've drunk quite a bit of wine. Auntie will make you some tea!"
Zhao Hao shook his head, took her into his arms, and said, "I've already drunk in the study."
"Now, I just want to hug my aunt like this."
Seeing his slightly drunk and coquettish look, Jiang Yiren couldn't help but smile gently and stroked his cheek lightly.
Feeling her love, Zhao Hao started to feel uneasy again.
With a little force, he immediately pressed Jiang Yiren down.
Jiang Yiren was startled and said quickly: "Hao'er, don't come again..."
"Aunt, I can't..."
Only then did Zhao Hao remember that he had already had a very wild time before the banquet started.
