In the garden, more than a dozen of his concubines were having fun.
Seeing King Wu Cheng coming, these concubines flew over like butterflies.
"Your Majesty, come and play with us."
"Yes, come and play quickly."
…
A group of people danced gracefully, like flying birds.
"Get out!" King Wu Cheng roared angrily.
The women at the scene suddenly turned into birds and beasts, running around in fear.
At this time, the accompanying guard said: "Your Majesty, are you worried?"
"Alas!" King Wu Cheng sighed and said, "I suddenly remembered that divine fortune teller five years ago. He actually predicted that our country of Wu would be in great trouble in the future. It seems that this matter is getting closer and closer.
Already."
"Your Majesty, that fortune teller is just talking nonsense." The guard shook his head and said: "Based on emotions and reasons, Zhao State will not use troops against Wu State. Firstly, the two countries can be regarded as countries with good relations; secondly, Zhao State is not at all
There is no reason to use troops against Wu."
King Wu Cheng walked with his hands behind his back and said: "As the king of a country, I control the power of the world. If you want to use troops against other countries, do you need a reason? Just find any excuse."
The guard was stunned for a moment and did not dare to continue speaking.
"Alas, at this moment, no one can talk to me." King Wu Cheng said with a bitter smile.
"Your Majesty, why don't you order the whole country to search for that divine fortune teller?" the guard asked hurriedly.
"It's been five years." King Wu Cheng sighed and said: "In five years, who knows where that magic fortune teller has gone? Maybe he has traveled around the country. How can it be so easy to find him?
Woolen cloth?"
The guard thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, how will you know if you don't try?"
"Okay, you order people to search for it!" King Wu Cheng said.
"Yes!" The guard nodded.
Subsequently, a search for the divine fortune teller started in the city of Wu State.
Moreover, countless missing persons notices were posted in Wu State.
Guo Yi and Zixing were walking in the city.
In Wu State, there is not much theory about the threat from Zhao State.
Although Chen State was destroyed, the whole country in Wu State was indeed cheering, as if Wu State had destroyed Chen State and expanded its territory.
"When Chen State is destroyed, Zhao State should give Wu State a few cities, right?"
"Well, the relationship between Zhao and Wu is so good, they will definitely give away a few cities. We, Wu, have also contributed."
…
Taverns, teahouses... wherever people gathered, they were discussing the demise of the Chen Kingdom.
They were all talking loudly about how to divide the fat piece of Chen State between the two countries.
But no one has ever been able to see through the essence of the matter.
"Have you heard? The king is looking for a fortune teller recently."
"I heard that I met a magic fortune teller five years ago. He was seven feet tall, dressed in a white shirt, and had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes!"
…
The conversation changed and everyone once again brought the topic to the notices in the city in the past few days.
"Husband, what kind of fortune teller is this?" Zi Xing asked curiously.
"I don't know either." Guo Yi smiled softly and said, "Maybe he is a very great person."
"What kind of person do you think he is that can make the monarch miss him for five years?" Zi Xing blinked his eyes and said: "He has been thinking about him all the time and has been looking for him until today."
"Maybe he is resourceful and can give him some advice." Guo Yi said.
"Well, what you said does seem to make sense." Zi Xing nodded.
A strange smile appeared on Guo Yi's face.
Ten days later.
Zhao Kuo returned from Zhao Kingdom.
In King Wu Cheng's garden, Zhao Kuo stood respectfully in front of King Wu Cheng.
"Your Majesty, you must take more precautions." Zhao Kuo said to King Wu Cheng seriously.
"Is there any sign from King Zhao?" King Wu Cheng asked.
"The State of Zhao has placed 300,000 troops on the border." Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly and said: "The strength of 300,000 troops is already half of the troops of the State of Zhao. Moreover, these 300,000 troops have been on the battlefield.
, use Chen State as a training ground to retain the main force."
When King Wu Cheng heard this, he was shocked: "King Zhao actually hid troops on the border of Wu?"
"Yes!" Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "This time I went to Zhao State, King Zhao did not receive me. I spent thirty gold coins to bribe a border soldier of Zhao State, and he took me to see Zhao State's military camp.
All 300,000 soldiers are displayed on the border. And they are very hidden."
Hiss!
King Wu Cheng's face was ashen and he said: "Our country of Wu has always been loyal to our country of Zhao. I didn't expect that King Zhao would actually want to destroy our country of Wu?"
"Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." Zhao Kuo lowered his head.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly." King Wu Cheng said.
"I heard someone in Zhao state say that Queen Wu did not die of illness, but was poisoned." Zhao Kuo said in a low voice.
King Wu Cheng suddenly widened his eyes.
Queen Wu was his biological sister. When his father was in power, in order to win over the State of Zhao, he married the sister of King Wu Cheng to the Crown Prince of Zhao. Later, when the Crown Prince came to power and became the king, he was very ambitious. In order to win over Wu
The state was attacking from both sides, so he made King Wu Cheng's sister the queen, thus wooing the state of Wu to attack the state of Chen from both sides.
This battle lasted for more than ten years.
Now that the Chen Kingdom is destroyed, Queen Wu is dead?
all of these!
Is it really a coincidence? Or a conspiracy?
King Wu Cheng knew how to control people, and he could figure out the problems with his toes.
boom!
King Wu Cheng grabbed a jade cup in his hand and smashed it on the ground.
"King Zhao, you are going too far!" King Wu Cheng's face was ashen.
However, after venting his anger, King Wu Cheng was like a deflated balloon.
At this moment, although he hated King Zhao deeply.
But he was deeply aware of the gap between the two countries. Zhao State had more than a hundred cities. In terms of financial resources, Zhao State could defeat Wu State in an instant. In terms of military strength, Zhao State could easily crush Wu State. From this, he could only
Can knock out teeth and swallow it in the stomach.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Kuo looked at King Wu Cheng seriously and said, "This matter must be carefully planned. It can take as short as half a year or as long as three years. Zhao Guo will definitely use troops against Wu."
"So fast?" King Wu Cheng trembled.
"Yes!" Zhao Kuo nodded.
"The State of Zhao took nearly five years to prepare for the use of troops against the State of Chen. Why did it happen to us so quickly?" King Wu Cheng asked.
"Now that Zhao State has destroyed Chen State, the whole country is celebrating and morale is high." Zhao Kuo looked at King Wu Cheng seriously, and then said: "Moreover, the soldiers are still in that excited state. The longer it is delayed, the more it will affect morale.
Therefore, they will definitely take action within a year."
"Then...then our country of Wu is finished?!" King Wu Cheng's face turned pale.
"So, Your Majesty must make preparations in advance." Zhao Kuo said seriously.
