Chapter 473: Kill Hard
Li Yu sat on the high throne in all directions, so that Guo Shao could only see him when he stood at the foot of the steps.
If Li Yu was still an emperor with real power, then Guo Shao, as a military general, would not be able to look up at him like this, but unfortunately he had lost everything. Guo Shao looked at the palace lamp that Li Yu was holding in his hand, as long as he threw it on the firewood next to him, so much firewood and oil, the entire hall could be burned.
"What is the idea of the Southern Tang Kingdom?" Guo Shao took the initiative to ask.
He was indeed a little puzzled by what Li Yu was doing now: if he was determined to be martyred, then what were he waiting for, now that the Zhou army had entered the palace, wouldn't he still be humiliated when he was caught? If he didn't want to die, he should hurry up and present the jade seal; After all, he is the king of a country, so he doesn't need to beg for mercy, but if he shows a little deference, won't he have a better chance of survival?
But Li Yu didn't do anything, he still sat on the high throne, not knowing what to do. Guo Shao felt his strong unwillingness and disobedience, let alone the willingness to submit. He didn't answer Guo Shao's words, and sat there silently.
However, Guo Shao doesn't care about this, whether Li Yu is convinced or not, he no longer has any strength, and there is no longer any threat; The current Li Yu is not as strong as Dong Er next to Guo Shao. In fact, there is nothing to be dissatisfied, this is the way of the world, if Guo Shao's mutiny in Tokyo failed, it would also end like this, he would die without a place to be buried, and his wife Fu Ermei and even Fu Jinzhan would be humiliated...... may end up much more miserable than Zhou Xian and Zhou Jiamin.
Li Yu finally spoke: "I am ashamed of my ancestors, I have lost the foundation of the Li family, and I have lost all ......."
Guo Shao blurted out what he was thinking: "The way of the world is like this. You see, I'm not that savage with you. ”
He took his gaze back from the throne, after all, it was not so comfortable to look up at people. Li Yu was still sighing and sad, but Guo Shao didn't want to waste time with him. Guo Shao walked up and down the steps and thought about it.
He finally said: "The lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty still burns himself. I also think that's what you should do, it's the best choice. The country was ruined, committed suicide and martyred, and finally earned some face and integrity for himself, and his reputation in the history of the future will be much better. ”
Li Yu was silent.
Guo Shao waited for a while, and then remembered another thing, Zhou Xian said that he was shameless to face Li Yu...... If you die, you don't have to face it.
He no longer hesitated, turned and left, and without looking back, he ordered the remaining guards around him: "Help him set the fire out." Then he hurried to the door of the temple.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Yu suddenly stood up, and followed out of the door without saying a word, Guo Shao stood still, and turned around and was stunned. The guards immediately grabbed Li Yu, and without saying a word, he pulled out his waist knife and stabbed Li Yu in each of his thighs, "Ah! Li Yu screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
The guards went up and picked up the lanterns, and were about to set them on fire.
Guo Shao immediately turned back again, pulled out his sword from the scabbard, and said, "It's really cruel to burn you alive...... Although you sent someone to assassinate me first, I don't hate you too much. Anyway, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty may be a historical celebrity in the future, so I kindly give you a ride! ”
Li Yu widened his eyes and said hurriedly: "General Guo, don't kill me!" ”
Guo Shao shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't kill your concubines and family members, let alone abuse the people of the Southern Tang Kingdom." This land will soon be reunified by Kyushu. Let's go on the road with peace of mind......"
Guo Shao said as he grabbed Li Yu's robe and pressed it on the sword, then aimed at his left chest and slowly inserted the sword into it. The blood did not splash, but quickly soaked the cloud of cloth blocking the sword, and Li Yu's gaze quickly dizzled.
"Set fire!" Guo Shao threw his sword on the ground, wiped his hand on the corpse's clothes, turned around and left.
He walked out of the palace, and soon a fire was burning inside. Looking around, there are no buildings connected to this hall, and there are some large water tanks next to it, so it should be difficult for the fire to spread.
The soldiers outside the hall looked at the fire inside, and then looked at Guo Shao. Guo Shao said loudly: "The lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty is self-defeating!" ”
He said that he would leave and go, only to feel that the blood on his hands was slimy, and when he saw a stream not far away, he walked over and washed his hands. At this moment, I saw Wang Pu, Shi Yanchao and others coming over, looking at the hall one after another.
When Guo Shao turned his head to look, he saw that the fire had rushed to the roof, and the entire magnificent palace had gradually been swallowed up by flames and smoke. Shi Yanchao said: "Hey! Guo Dashuai, we finally destroyed the country, how about asking the brothers to kill here? ”
Wang Pu and Guo Shao immediately looked at each other. Guo Shao coughed and said, "Shi Yanchao obeys orders. ”
Shi Yanchao's expression froze, and he was busy clasping his fists and saluting.
Guo Shao said: "I ordered Shi Yanchao to immediately lead the troops and horses of the headquarters out of the city, stationed on the riverside, and waited for the order." ”
Shi Yanchao's face suddenly darkened, and he said with a displeased face: "Mother, it's not me every time I hit the front and rush to the front?" After the fight, you want to transfer me away, why did Lao Tzu fight! ”
Guo Shao said: "The unarmed people here have no enmity with us, why kill them?" People in the world are scared of our kind of martial arts, and if you don't control yourself, you will have to lose your job in the future, do you think you can be very powerful with only a knife and gun in your hand? ”
Wang Pu listened and praised: "Guo Dashuai is really a hero." ”
Shi Yanchao was sullen. Guo Shao asked, "Do you obey military orders?" ”
Shi Yanchao hugged his fists and said: "Get the order." ”
Guo Shao left this place and climbed the tower of the imperial city to watch the scenery of this imperial palace. He thought of Li Yu again, and felt that the only thing that this person lost when he died was those good words after the death of the country. didn't think much about it at the moment, asked someone to prepare paper and ink, and wrote down a well-known one, preparing for Li Yu to be named under Jiuquan.
"When is the spring flower and autumn moon? How much do you know about the past? Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. How sad can you be? It is like a river flowing eastward. ”
After Guo Shao finished writing and reading it, he always felt that there was something wrong with this word. A poem of lamentation for the death of the country...... Guo Shao doesn't like it now, anyway, it's his personal preference that he is dissatisfied with this style. is also a person who died in the country, Qu Yuan's "National Martyrdom" "Honesty is both brave and martial, and in the end it is strong and invincible." The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul is the ghost", the tragic and heroic spirit of the jade that died in battle made Guo Shao even more appreciated.
He picked up the poem and paced it up and down the female wall, tearing it into shreds and throwing it down the city. Suddenly, pieces of paper flew in the air like paper money at a funeral.
Go! Although it is a swan song for the ages, Guo Shao's private wish is that there will no longer be such pathos in this world and this land. The spirit of having the same hatred with the son is getting lost more and more, and it is better to pick up those things. Guo Shao raised his head, as if he heard the majestic call of the ancient ancestors in the air to open up the territory.
