Now the best result of them abandoning the imperial edict is that when Shuzhou led the army to conquer Zhao State, they abandoned the imperial edict and secretly captured the weak Shuzhou.
Before this, I would never dare to negotiate an alliance with Zhao.
If they do not form an alliance, they will still have the opportunity to secretly develop Shezhao, but once they form an alliance, Shuzhou has already said before that no matter who comes to attack their Shuzhou, they, Shuzhou, will directly attack Shezhao.
Do you feel aggrieved?
If you feel wronged, hit him!
This is exactly the reason why Shizhao still retains Shuzhou even though he knows that Shuzhou is getting stronger and it will be of no benefit to them.
Although it is said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, it is still unclear who has the lips and who has the teeth!
Just when Zhao Guo looked nervous and She Zhao was waiting for a good show, there were signs that something was wrong with the next development.
Soon they Shezhao got the news that Shuzhou's army was approaching their border with Shezhao!
Emperor Shezhao was shocked when he heard the news, and then showed an expression of disbelief.
What does this mean?
Do you want to start a war with us in Shezhao?
What's wrong!
Isn’t your biggest opponent Zhao Guo?
In this case, why do you want to punish them?
No grievances and no grudges, right?
And didn’t you say that you would only attack She Zhao when I was looking after you?
Now that the State of Zhao has not attacked you, do you have to offend the people around you?
This made Emperor Zhao, who was sitting in the imperial study, very angry and confused at the same time.
Aren't you afraid that when you attack Shezhao, Shuzhou will be attacked by Zhao?
Shezhao had firearms until Shuzhou, but Shezhao was still confident because Shuzhou was already at war with Zhao and did not dare to act rashly against them.
But he never expected that looking at Shuzhou's posture now, he would take action against She Zhao!
What exactly does this do to them?
Emperor Shezhao couldn't figure it out even if he tried hard.
Now it is obvious that there is not much time left for him to think. Being able to detect the movement of Shuzhou's army has proved that Shuzhou's army is very close to Shezhao. If he, the emperor, does not issue an edict, what will happen to Shuzhou's army?
It was time for the army to invade their homeland of Shezhao.
No matter what Shuzhou is thinking, now that Shuzhou is unkind, they have to react immediately despite the edict!
If you don't respond, they will really call you!
So Emperor Shezhao protested to Shuzhou and prepared an army to go to war with Shuzhou at any time.
Shuzhou received Shezhao's protest very quickly.
Xu Qing and Long Bing'er looked at the protest from Shuzhou in the commander-in-chief's mansion. Although the content above was elaborate and lengthy, it could only be summed up in one sentence: "Why did you hit me?"
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing and asked, "How should we deal with this?"
Thinking about it yourself, what they did was indeed not very good.
While using conspiracy to let Shezhao contain Zhao, he also wanted to send troops to destroy Shezhao.
No matter how you look at it, it’s despicable, right?
Xu Qing took out a piece of paper and wrote seven words with a wave of his hand: Because I have no quality!
Long Bing'er was shocked when she saw the words written by Xu Qing; "Just... just reply like this?"
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said, "How else can we respond? Anyway, we are not being reasonable."
Long Bing'er: "..."
You also know that you are unreasonable.
So this thin piece of paper was put into an envelope and sent to the hands of Emperor Shezhao.
Emperor Shezhao almost vomited blood when he saw the contents on this piece of paper.
This sentence reminded him of Xu Qing, the king of Han who was sent by Chu State to attack them.
Originally, Emperor Shezhao thought that there were enough shameless people like Xu Qing in the world, but he didn't expect another one to appear now!
Chu State and Shu State, one is more annoying than the other!
As expected, the saying goes, where there are crouching dragons, there must be phoenix chicks!
Now the war between Shuzhou and Shezhao is inevitable. Since it is inevitable, let's fight!
Of course, Emperor Shezhao could not carry Shuzhou's army equipped with firearms by himself.
This is not a wise move.
Although Shezhao's army has been recuperating for several years and has regained some combat effectiveness, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to compete with firearms.
Now if Shezhao wants to compete with Shuzhou, he must unite with Zhao!
Otherwise, if they abandon the imperial edict, they may really risk the country's subjugation.
Soon Shezhao's credentials were submitted to the Zhao court.
In the morning.
Emperor Zhao's complexion is getting worse and worse now.
In the past few months, people from Zhao State have been constantly thrown into the arms of the enemy to be used by Shu State.
The current military strength of Shuzhou has more than doubled than before.
Unexpectedly, after wiping out a Ming King, a more troublesome one has grown up.
It can be said that Emperor Zhao has no choice now. He has an army of 200,000! If you include the auxiliary troops, it will be more than 200,000! But they lost miserably. How are they supposed to destroy such a rebel army?
The clueless Emperor Zhao had no choice but to drink and hang out in the harem all day long.
It is precisely because of this that the complexion becomes worse day by day.
Now Shuzhou, which was supposed to accumulate strength and then advance all the way, is actually going to attack Shezhao?
This surprised the imperial court.
At this time, She Zhao had already sent a letter of credence to the State of Zhao, requesting to form an alliance with the State of Zhao to jointly fight against Shuzhou.
Emperor Zhao looked at the ministers in the court and asked: "What do you think, dear sir?"
The Minister of War thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the rebels in Shuzhou are now a serious problem. It would be a good idea to join forces and destroy Shuzhou."
When the Minister of the Ministry of Rites heard what the Minister of the Ministry of War said, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have objections. Shezhao is a serious problem for our Zhao country. At the beginning, Shezhao went to war with our Zhao country several times and invaded our Zhao country's territory wantonly."
Burning, killing and looting, both the government and the public hated Shezhao to the core. Now the banner of Shuzhou's attack on Shezhao is Zhao State. If Zhao State attacks Shuzhou at this time, then the court will fall into injustice and lose its place in the world.
If you lose people's hearts, the imperial court will probably be in turmoil by then!"
The Minister of War said, "The Shuzhou rebels have now become a serious problem. Do you mean that we are just waiting for this great opportunity to stand still?!"
The Minister of Rites snorted coldly and said: "Does Lord Song want His Majesty to bear the reputation of injustice? Is it more important to be a mere Shuzhou, or to betray justice to the people of the world? At this time, taking advantage of the emptiness of Shuzhou to attack Shuzhou,
If the people of Zhao State become disillusioned with the imperial court and turn to Shuzhou, wouldn’t that increase Shuzhou’s prestige? Then where will the righteousness of Zhao State exist? Where will the world be?!"
