Chapter 1674 I Like People Who Are as Gentle as Water
The King of Qin needed to leave a team to serve as a garrison for the Great Zhou Dynasty and stay in Northern Qi to serve as both a guardian and a supervisory and intimidating force.
Although it was submitted, there were still many feudal officials and princes in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and they would definitely be unwilling to do so.
There must be a strong enough army to stay here to suppress those troublemakers with evil intentions.
At the same time, we have to guard against the Jiuli tribe.
Jiuli's ambition towards Northern Qi is now known to everyone.
In private, Zhao Shu even said something to Yun Dai: "When Northern Qi is completely calmed down and Jiuli is defeated, the world will be truly stable."
Yun Dai was noncommittal about this.
The Jiuli tribe has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are many mysterious and weird things. It is best not to mess with them.
The entire Northern Qi court also knew that from the moment King Qin stepped into Liangcheng and boarded the Northern Qi Palace, Northern Qi was no longer independent.
This means that Zhou Dynasty finally completely occupied Northern Qi.
Many people in Northern Qi didn't quite understand what was going on.
Things happened suddenly, but logically.
But no matter what these people thought, Yun Dai cooperated with others and joined forces with the King of Qin to successfully promote the major event of Northern Qi's submission to the Zhou Dynasty.
Three days later, after intense and detailed discussions and revisions, Northern Qi finally sorted out the peace negotiation regulations.
Xiao Ziliang had to prepare to leave Northern Qi and go south to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to meet the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Ziliang was very excited and kept chasing Yun Dai, asking about the scenery of Dazhou.
"Sister, I heard that there are small bridges and flowing water in Dazhou. The scenery is exquisite and the beauties are gentle and affectionate. Is it true?" he asked.
Yun Dai said: "Go and see for yourself, and you will know."
"Sister, can I marry a beauty from the Zhou Kingdom? I like people who are as gentle as water. Our Daqi women are too rough and tough," he said.
Yun Dai glanced at him.
"Of course, I'm not talking about you, sister. I grew up in the Kingdom of Zhou. Although she is from the Northern Qi Dynasty, she is as gentle and virtuous as the women of the Kingdom of Zhou."
"So much nonsense." Yun Dai was too lazy to pay attention to him, "You go back and get ready, and we'll leave when the snow stops."
It has been snowing for three days.
Although Northern Qi is covered with heavy snow all year round, such heavy snow is still rare.
The 200,000-strong army of Zhou Dynasty parked outside the city could not help but suffer.
They are not suitable for such extremely cold weather. Although they do not have to fight, they can only live in tents with drafts everywhere. It is often too cold to sleep at night.
The King of Qin felt sorry for the soldiers and spent military funds to buy cotton-padded jackets, furs and other items for the soldiers to keep out the cold. But there are too many soldiers, and Liangcheng's supply is limited, and there is simply not enough to provide clothing for every soldier.
Two hundred thousand soldiers stay here like this, eating and burning firewood, everything is a huge consumption.
The money was spent like water, but many soldiers who were weak after being injured still froze to death.
Right now, besides clothing and food to keep out the cold, charcoal fire has become the most urgent thing.
Yun Dai also took out all the two hundred thousand taels of silver that Zhao Yuanjing gave her.
I have money, but I can't buy anything.
The people of Northern Qi were also impoverished, and there was no spare food or charcoal to provide them.
A few days passed like this, the snow stopped for a long time, and then it started falling again. Seeing that the mountains and roads were blocked by heavy snow, and the soldiers were trapped here, the King of Qin was extremely anxious. He was in the military camp every day, ordering the quartermaster to contact the country and ask them to deliver supplies as soon as possible.
