Could it be that Gan’s army really wanted to divert the Chu River and flood it into Shangdu City?
Although it is still incredible, there is no other explanation besides this.
Just when Xie Daoxun was thinking about it, the Queen of Shu Kingdom came to him on her own initiative.
The two had been together in Xingcheng, and now they had come to Shangdu together.
Although the relationship has not made much progress, they have become quite familiar with each other.
Seeing the Empress of Shu, Xie Daoxun couldn't help but ask softly, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"
The Queen of Shu said, "I just got the news that the Gan army is repairing the canal. I'm afraid Zhao Hao is right."
"In order to protect Xanadu City, we must find a way to stop it as soon as possible."
Xie Daoxun shook his head solemnly: "Now the Gan army is besieging the city. Although we have some small groups outside the city, we are gathering information."
"But it is simply impossible to disrupt the actions of the Gan army or stop them from building the canal!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress of Shu frowned and asked, "What should we do? Are we just going to watch?"
"There are at least 700,000 or 800,000 people in Shangdu right now. If the Gan army were to flood the city, all of them would be finished."
In theory, this is Wu's business, but now Shu and Wu share weal and woe. There are still more than 100,000 Shu troops in Shangdu City.
Xie Daoxun sighed softly and said nothing.
She really doesn't have any particularly effective method now.
Apart from a stalemate, they could only take the initiative to attack the troops outside the city.
In this way, it might be possible to stop the Gan army from diverting water to flood the city.
The Queen of Shu said, "Don't hesitate, let's fight!"
"The Gan army is now besieging the city. With the current strength of the Gan army, it is still a bit difficult."
"The reason they wanted to divert the Chu River to flood the city was to capture Shangdu without bloodshed."
"If we hesitate any longer, not only will the Gan army flood the city, they will also send more troops."
"By that time, we will be completely passive!"
Xie Daoxun still didn't say anything. In fact, she didn't need the Queen of Shu to remind her. She knew very well that the longer she delayed, the more difficult it would become.
But……
If we risk our lives now, there will be countless casualties.
As if she had seen Xie Daoxun's hesitation, the Empress of Shu said directly: "If the Prime Minister is worried about too many casualties, then this time my Shu army will lead the charge."
Xie Daoxun raised her head slightly. She did not expect that the Queen of Shu would be so determined this time.
You know, the other party’s current situation is extremely bad.
The entire Shu Kingdom had been swallowed up by Da Gan, and the city had even been massacred several times.
Today, the Shu Kingdom only has the last few hundred thousand soldiers left.
The Queen of Shu actually said that if the Shu army were to lead the charge, how could she not be surprised?
After just a moment of hesitation, Xie Daoxun made a decision.
"Since Your Majesty is so determined, how can our Wu Kingdom be afraid of a war?"
"Just as your majesty said, we will make some preparations and then go out of the city to fight the Gan army!"
The Shu Queen's eyes flashed, she looked at Xie Daoxun deeply, slowly stood up, and walked out.
Watching the Empress of Shu leave, Xie Daoxun breathed a sigh of relief.
How could she not be satisfied when the other party even said such words?
Having the Shu army take the lead can greatly reduce the casualties of the Wu army.
Although we are now fighting together with the Shu army, we are not one after all.
Once defeated, or tied with Dagan, Wu would still be the same Wu, but Shu would no longer be the same Shu.
Without any strength, the Shu Kingdom would no longer pose a threat.
She is the Prime Minister of Wu State, and everything is considered from the perspective of Wu State.
Even at this moment, it is no exception.
…
After returning from Xie Daoxun's place, the Queen of Shu could not help but snorted coldly, pulled out a chair, sat down immediately, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Princess Li Ge, who was coaxing the child, came over and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The Empress of Shu snorted, "Xie Daoxun, this woman is too petty. She still thinks that she can stop the Gan army in this battle?"
"When I went to see her, she hadn't made up her mind yet. But when I told her that the Shu army would lead the battle, she immediately agreed!"
“That’s really interesting.”
Li Ge hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this is all the strength left in Shu!"
If even this little bit of power is gone, then the situation in Wu State will be completely different in the future.
Things in the world are like this at all times. If you have strength, you will be able to stand tall and have the right to speak.
Without strength, you are nothing.
This is true for both individuals and countries.
Putting down the teacup in her hand, the Queen of Shu sighed helplessly.
"There is no other way. If we don't make every effort now, the Wu Kingdom and the Nanchu families won't be able to hold out for too long."
"All we can do now is buy time and wait for that kid to get ready so that he can make a comeback."
Li Ge asked, "Your Majesty, do you really believe that Young Master Zhao can... turn the tables?"
The Queen of Shu looked at Li Ge and said, "Why, you don't believe it?"
Li Ge hesitated for a moment and said, "I just can't believe it!"
"Mr. Zhao is absolutely unique in this world."
"But I just can't figure out how he can do that."
"As far as I know, Mr. Zhao doesn't even have 50,000 troops at his disposal."
"His Democratic Alliance Army only has 40,000 men."
"Could it be that he can rely on these tens of thousands of people to fight back and defeat the hundreds of thousands of people?"
"Or should we also include the power of Wu, Southern Chu, and my Shu?"
"But if we continue to fight like this, how much strength will we have left?"
The Queen of Shu didn't know what to say, she could only shake her head helplessly.
"Now, what else can we do except trust him?"
"Even if we don't fight this first battle, can we keep it?"
“I still can’t keep it!”
"I'll make this bet with that kid!"
Li Ge didn't say anything, his expression remained solemn.
The other person the two were talking about at the moment, our Brother Ritian, was playing Landlord comfortably with a few women.
Don't get me wrong, it's a very serious game of Landlord.
Yu Ping was defeated in one fell swoop, causing the Ganjun navy to lose more than a hundred warships.
Such a great victory directly cut off the possibility of Gan’s army attacking again.
Naturally, there had to be a big celebration, and after the celebration, Zhao Hao started to play with the girls.
Now he really has nothing to do all day.
There is nothing to do on the island.
I can only entertain myself.
Just when the landlords were fighting most fiercely, Zhuoya walked in from outside.
"Husband, battle report!"
