When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 217 A Mountain Is Even Higher
In the harem of King Zhao's Palace.

"Since Your Majesty has agreed to form an alliance with the wolf tribe, why does he still look so worried? But is there anything bothering you?" King Zhao, dressed in plain clothes, came to Zhao Wangyan and asked with concern.

This Queen Zhao, when she was in the brothel, loved bright red and bright dresses to show off her beauty. At that time, after she entered Zhao Palace and became Queen Zhao, she fell in love with plain dresses instead. Dress, it seems that this can make her break with the past.

"Among the conditions for forming an alliance with the wolf clan, it is really hard to tell about the fact that five hundred court ladies should be sent to the wolf clan." Zhao Wangyan struggled.

Among the specific conditions for signing the covenant with the wolves, Zhao Guo needs to send [-] women to the wolves, and among them there must be [-] palace people from the Zhao Palace. For Zhao Wangyan, this matter is very important. It is too difficult to say, after all, the women in the palace, even the maids, belong to him, King Zhao, in name.

Giving the maid to the wolf clan, Zhao Wangyan always felt that someone would talk about him because of it.

However, Zhao Wangyan's sadness is just that, he can't see at all, there are another [-] women who will be given to the wolf clan by him, he can't see, so there will be more than [-] households Many families will be separated from their wives and children, and their father and daughter will be separated.

All he saw was the maids of the palace, and all he saw was his own sorrow, not the pain of those people.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is nothing we can do about it." Queen Zhao said.

"What can you do?" Zhao Wangyan asked.

"The people of the wolf clan don't know who is the maid of the palace, so we can use other women as maids to give them to them." Queen Zhao said.

"This matter is not as simple as you think. The maids in the palace are pampered and pampered. They are not much different from those women who need to work in the folk. Only women from rich families have similarities with palace ladies. If you ask the big family to hand over their daughters because of this, it will cause even more trouble." Zhao Wangyan raised the difficulty.

"Your Majesty, I understand the reason for this, but the substitutes I'm talking about are not the daughters of those rich families." Queen Zhao said.

"Uh, is there another kind of person?" Zhao Wangyan asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, my background is not good. I worked in the fields when I was a child, but I don't have the delicate skin and tender flesh of those court ladies. But when Your Majesty saw me for the first time, could you tell that I came from a peasant family?" Queen Zhao said.

"You mean the man from the brothel?" Zhao Wangyan suddenly said, and was immediately replaced by another kind of surprise.

"Really, although the people in the brothel are not as pampered and pampered as the palace people, they pay attention to their physical appearance. They are all well-raised. If they are used to replace the palace ladies, people from the wolf clan will not say anything." Queen Zhao said.

"It's feasible, Queen, you have solved another big problem for Gu, and you are worthy of being Gu's virtuous wife." Zhao Wangyan said excitedly.

"Queen, if you can do more work, I will leave this matter to you." Zhao Wangyan continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter beautifully." Queen Zhao said with three points of reserve.

······
When Zhao Du had already communicated with the Wolf Clan on the specific alliance matters, Guo Kai, who was hundreds of miles away in Xinzheng, was still racking his brains for Zhao Guo's cession of land for peace.

This time, he came to the palace again, hoping to persuade Ying Zheng.

"Before you speak, you might as well take a look at this volume of information from Zhao Du." Before Guo Kai could speak, Ying Zheng had already thrown a roll of bamboo slips to Guo Kai.

Guo Kai opened the bamboo slips, and what caught his eye was the very familiar Zhao Guo characters, but Guo Kai didn't feel the breath of his hometown from it, but felt a bone-chilling chill.

Zhao Guo is about to form an alliance with the wolf clan.

"You are really a loyal minister of Zhao State. Here, you seek peace with Gu and Qin State to delay time. On the other side, King Zhao formed an alliance with the wolf clan. You monarchs and ministers are really beautiful." Ying Zheng said in a cold voice, as if he had fallen into anger because of Guo Kai and King Zhao's deception.

"King Qin, Kai absolutely has no such intention." Guo Kai quickly explained.

At this time, he had already felt the cold murderous intent, and what made his heart feel even colder was that Zhao Wangyan's actions, he did not blame Zhao Wangyan for forming an alliance with the wolf clan, because that was also a choice of Zhao Guo.

However, even if you want to form an alliance with the wolf clan, you should inform him first. You know, he is still in the state of Qin. If the king of Qin angered him because of this incident, he would even know how he died.

"Can you still make Gu believe what you say now?" Ying Zheng said.

"King Qin..." Guo Kai was almost desperate at this time.

"Since you have the loyalty to disregard life and death, why not let Gu do it for you." Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Forgive me, King Qin. Kai has absolutely no intention of deceiving King Qin. His Majesty did all this without telling me. Before I came to Xinzheng, I didn't know anything about the wolf clan." Guo Kai said.

"Really?" Ying Zheng said.

"Yes, yes, yes." Guo Kai was about to cry at this moment.

He has always been the only one who sells people, but he thought that one day, he would also be the one who was sold out.

"Let's fulfill your reputation as a loyal minister." Ying Zheng said.

While speaking, two guards appeared outside the palace gate.

······
"Zhao Guo wants to form an alliance with the wolf clan?" Meng Ao, who was summoned, looked at the scroll of bamboo slips that Guo Kai had seen before, and said in disbelief.

"According to the time calculation, the covenant has almost been completed now." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, Huanju's army should be withdrawn to the west of Taihang Mountain as soon as possible." Meng Ao said.

Although the [-] Qin army was enough to conquer the Zhao country, they were powerless in the face of the alliance between the wolf tribe and the Zhao country. If they were not careful, it would be a disastrous defeat.

"It may be too late," Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty?" Meng Ao was stunned.

"When this information was sent to Gu, Zhao Guo and the wolf clan were already in action. Although the wolf clan army may not have gone south at this time, Zhao Jun will not let the [-] troops under Huanju's command If Zhao retreated to the west of Taihang Mountain calmly, although Zhao Guo did not have the ability to defeat Huan Jue, it hindered Huan Juan's ability to withdraw." Ying Zheng said.

"In this case, we can only increase troops." Meng Ao said helplessly.

"Don't worry, General, he has his own way of dealing with it," Ying Zheng said.

Although the current situation is bad, it has not escaped Yingzheng's control. Whether he wins or loses, everything is still unknown.

Meng Ao looked at Ying Zheng suspiciously, he didn't know what Ying Zheng was thinking and what kind of plan he had.

"During the Battle of Hangu Pass, Gu had already mobilized cavalry from Dishang County, Northwest Longbei. He could go north to Shang County at any time, and go straight to the northern border of Zhao State along the route that King Zhao Wuling failed to take." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, how many cavalry are there in the three counties?" Meng Ao asked.

"Not much, just fifty thousand." Ying Zheng said.
