"Wei Rui!" Zhao Rui shouted: "Why are you still carrying that big guy? Throw it back there and eat."
Zhao Weirui nodded excitedly, jumped to Zhao Rui's side, grabbed the leg of lamb on the table and started to chew on it.
Ashoka's body trembled violently. He originally thought that the three hundred warriors brought by Zhao Rui were already extremely powerful, but he did not expect that the weak-looking little girl was the strongest one.
He was completely panicked!
This place was originally the junction of various countries and tribes, and it was a free zone. The Mauryan Dynasty did not have much influence here.
Although he brought thousands of people here, compared with the people around Zhao Rui, they were just a bunch of losers.
If the two sides really wanted to have a full-scale conflict, let alone killing him, these people might not even have the courage to fight.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a person in Dashang! I'm here to toast you."
Ashoka's palms trembled slightly. At this time, he did not dare to show the slightest emotion. Even if his own general died tragically, he did not dare to say a word.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome!" Zhao Rui responded casually, then raised his glass, touched it with King Ashoka, and drank it down in one gulp.
When he first held this meeting, Ashoka wanted to use it to scare the big businessmen, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to be shocked in the end.
The two sides had another jungle hunt, but this time they set rules in advance and never killed or injured the other side's soldiers.
It was not until evening that both parties returned to agree.
As soon as King Ayu returned to his palace, the whole camp exploded.
In addition to some military generals, there were also a few civil servants who accompanied him on the hunt. After these people saw the power of Zhao Rui's men, they were frightened.
"Your Majesty, after all, Dashang is an ancient empire that has existed for hundreds of years. Let's not confront them head-on. We might as well just write a letter and form an alliance with them."
"In the past, our neighbors to the east were empires such as the Khmer and Izumo. But now these two countries have disappeared. Even the Jiaocheng Kingdom further east was destroyed by the Great Shang. If we insist on going against the Great Shang, I am afraid we will fight against them.
Same fate."
...
The chattering discussion made Ashoka extremely upset. He did not expect that his civil servants and generals would turn into a group of timid juniors.
Although he ascended the throne for only three short years, he used thunderous means to wipe out more than 30 neighboring countries, large and small, and nearly doubled the territory of the Maurya Dynasty.
People in the entire dynasty believed that he was the most talented and strategic monarch in history, and they even expected him to defeat the great empires in the east and bring the strength of the Maurya Dynasty to its peak.
Unexpectedly, these empires were destroyed by the Great Shang, and the strength they showed was so strong.
Come on now, the Mauryan Dynasty’s hegemony may end here!
"Enough!"
Ashoka slapped the table hard and looked coldly at all the civil and military ministers present.
"Don't any of you have the courage to go to war with Dashang?"
The scene fell silent, and everyone knelt on the ground, not even daring to breathe a sigh of relief.
King Ayu exhaled slightly and leaned back on his chair with some slump. He really didn't expect that a simple hunting would have such a blow to the self-confidence of the entire Mauryan Dynasty.
