Chapter 62 Playing with the Barbecue Steps
Last time, he said that the vulture bone was the first to enter the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, and he noticed that a lot of fire oil was spilled in the lobby, he couldn't help but be surprised, cautiously exited the lobby, and went straight to Liu Hou to report.
In line with the principle of safety first and a gentleman not standing under a dangerous wall, Liu Hou has not yet entered the city at this time. He was now accustomed to waiting for his men to clear out all the enemies who resisted and fully control the city before entering the city.
Hearing the report of the vulture bone, Liu Hou frowned, what other tricks does this step want to play? Now that he is gone, does he still want to lure himself to see him one last time, so that he can take the opportunity to burn himself to death?
Although the method is a little clumsy and the strategy is a little simpler, Liu Hou also has to admire his perseverance.
"Let's go, let's see." Liu Hou waved his hand, and the Chinese army began to move, heading towards the city. For a while, the banner hunting, the large army marched like a cloud, Liu Hou experienced the feeling of the strong man's movement, and led the Chinese army into Panyu City.
Now that he already knew about Bu Qi's conspiracy, Liu Hou would certainly not directly enter the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion. He ordered his soldiers to surround the lobby and clear them of unrelated personnel.
Then he took out his signature loudspeaker and yelled into it: "Buqi, you old bastard, don't you still give up?" What other tricks do you want to play? ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't come unharmed, since you're here, why don't you come in and get together. He had already prepared his wine and had been waiting for a long time. ”
"Hehe, are you my three-year-old? I know that you have sprinkled fire oil in it, and I still go in to attend your Hongmen banquet? Everyone is a smart person, so why bother playing with those twists and turns. If you have something to say, just say it, and you'll be on your way.
You should cherish this opportunity to speak, if it weren't for the fact that you have done some good things for the people in Lingnan in the past few years, I would not even give you the opportunity to speak, and directly send you, a mad butcher, to see the king of Yama. ”
Buqi is indeed a talent, full of poetry and books, and has two brushes for governing places and leading troops in battle. Under his governance and suppression, Lingnan has slowly become naturalized.
From the previous combat arrangement with the Shu army, it can also be seen that he is also quite strategic for marching and fighting, although he is not as good as Kong Ming and Sima Yi, but he is also a rare talent.
Therefore, Liu Hou wanted to recruit him at first, originally planned to capture him, and then slowly persuaded him to submit to him. In this way, Liu Hou can have one more talent that is not inferior to Fei Yi and Guo Youzhi.
It is a pity that he had previously devised a poisonous plan to dig the river embankment, causing hundreds of casualties and tens of thousands of people being displaced. After that, he came up with a poisonous plan to burn the grain and grass in the whole city, trying to delay the pace of the Shu army's northern expedition.
If his poisonous plan can succeed, he can indeed drag the Shu army to Lingnan, but this is a vicious trick at the cost of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
Liu Hou didn't have a good impression of this kind of person who disregarded the lives of the people, so he put out his mind of recruiting Bu Qi, and just wanted to chop off this murderous maniac with a knife.
At this time, Bu Qi heard Liu Hou's words, and sighed secretly in his heart, his plan was really seen through.
Although he didn't have much hope for this plan at the beginning, however, the matter was already at the last moment, and he didn't have time to make more arrangements, and even if he had time, he had no other means to reverse the situation, let alone any way to hurt this evil prince.
In a hurry, he had no choice but to make this decision, hoping that the prince would be carried away by victory, and that he also had a habit of showing off his might in front of losers. In this case, maybe he can turn things around and exchange his life for the prince's life.
Who knows that his strategy was actually seen through by a barbarian, he is really unwilling, but what can he do if he is unwilling? The prince has already issued an ultimatum at the door, all his reliance, all the arrangements are useless, what else can be done?
No, it's not that all the arrangements have not played a role, at least the people who burn the grain and grass have already been sent out, even if this prince finds out about the situation now, it is too late to stop it, at least he can win back a game at this point, even if he dies this time, he has also completed the previously set goal, and this Shu army is firmly tied to Lingnan, so that the lord has enough time to act.
In this way, I will die without regrets. Thinking of this, the corners of Bu Qi's mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing a smile.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have something very important to tell you, don't you want to hear it?" Although Bu Qi knew that Liu Hou would definitely not enter the lobby in this situation, he still used words to provoke him, so as to buy more time for the food burning team.
"Okay, you say, I'll listen, there's no need to go in, I'll just listen at the door, please say louder, I'm not very good at hearing." Liu Hou said disdainfully.
"Hehe, I didn't expect that the legendary Prince of Xishu, who can fight well, turned out to be a timid person like a mouse, and he didn't even dare to enter my lobby."
"Why do you say that? As I said earlier, everyone is a smart person, what effect can you have with this inferior radical method? Let me tell you, I am the ancestor of the method of playing the law of agitation.
If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have a fart, don't let it go, although we are still some distance apart, who knows if your fart is particularly smelly, you can smoke it from the lobby to the outside.
To be honest with you, I'm not interested in knowing about your birds, if you want to say it, just say it directly, if you don't say it, I'll ask people to start throwing torches, I really don't understand you people, there are so many ways to die, you don't choose, but you like to be a roast pig. Is it that fun to be a roast pig? ”
Looking at the prince at the door who did not enter the oil and salt and was full of foul language, Bu Qi once again felt powerless. This is the hero, when he encounters such a thick-faced and black-hearted person, how can his lord be his opponent.
Anyway, I'm about to die, and I can't see anything in the future, and there is still so much management there. Lord, it depends on his creation.
"Well, since that's the case, I'll tell you one thing: I have collected the grain in this city from the whole of Lingnan.
Ordinary people do not have much surplus food at home, and if there is a problem with these stored grains, not only the people of Panyu City will be hungry, but many people in the entire Lingnan area will starve. "Buqi said slowly.
"Do you mean that if you send people to burn these grains and grasses, then you can successfully kill hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Lingnan people?" Liu Hou said hatefully.
"Uh...... That's what it means. Hearing Liu Hou's heart-wrenching statement, Bu Qi originally wanted to oppose it, but he didn't know how to refute him, because it seemed to be true.
Of course, the purpose of his doing these things was not to kill the people, he was harming the Shu army, but his actions were indeed objectively harming the people.
"It's a pity that your perverse actions have caused the people of the whole city to revolt. The food burning team you sent out has been blocked by the people who have organized themselves, and it is believed that they will not be able to burn much food. ”
"What? How so? How could those unarmed civilians stand in the way of my battle-hardened soldiers? When Bu Qi heard that there was a change in the matter of burning grain, he became nervous for a while, brushed it and stood up, and in a nervous way, he knocked over the wine glass on the table, and spilled the wine in the cup everywhere.
"This is the so-called more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, and at this time, don't you have enlightenment?"
"Alas, it's a chess game after all." Bu Qi sat down, this matter is his biggest reliance on recovering the disadvantage, he can't help but be nervous, why he can't be silent.
Liu Hou was actually also concerned about the granary, although he had received a report that there were large households in the city to organize manpower to confront the Eastern Wu army that burned grain, and most of the granaries were saved until the arrival of the Shu army, but the specific situation, he was not clear.
"Go and find out what is going on in the big granaries in the city. The key is to figure out how many granaries were burned and how much grain is still in stock. Liu Hou turned his head and issued an order to the soldiers behind him, and someone naturally followed up on these things, so there was no need for Liu Hou to worry too much.
"Well, since you don't have anything more to say, let's go and roast the pig. It's your honor to have me here to see you on your way. Liu Hou turned back to Bu Qi and said.
"Unwilling, unwilling!" Bu Qi sighed.
But Liu Hou ignored him anymore, and was about to let his subordinates throw torches into it and burn this sinner into a roast pig, when he heard a nice female voice scolding: "Wait! ”
Liu Hou looked back and saw that it was really Zhou Xue, the girl he had persuaded to come back to stop Buqiu from burning grain.
Since it's a girl she likes, of course she wants to save face. So Liu Hou stopped giving orders and waited for Zhou Xue to come over.
The girl trotted all the way to Liu Hou's side from a distance, and gasped slightly after stopping.
"Slow, slow, knife, keep people under the knife." Without waiting for Liu Hou to ask, Zhou Xue spoke while gasping.
"I didn't take out the knife, who is left under the knife?" Liu Hou spread his hands and said.
"Didn't go out of the knife? So what are you going to do with Uncle Bu? When Zhou Xue heard Liu Hou's words, she couldn't help but be stunned and asked.
She was originally in the official warehouse to block the grain burning team of the Eastern Wu soldiers, because it was an official warehouse, the amount of grain stored was very huge, so the largest number of families sent here by the big families, plus the help of Zhou Xue, who was strong in martial arts and strange and unpredictable, quickly defeated this Dongwu grain burning team.
After Zhou Xue successfully protected the official warehouse, he heard that the Shu army had entered the city and the Assassin's Mansion had also been captured. After all, Bu Qi and her family are world friends, after she came to Lingnan, and Bu Qi took care of her, at this time she thought of Bu Qi's possible fate, and couldn't help but feel a little sad and a little anxious.
So she hurriedly trotted all the way to the Thorn Mansion, hoping to save Bu Qi's life. But she didn't know what happened here just now, and thought that Liu Hou was going to cut off Bu Qi's head after catching him, so she yelled at the knife to keep people.
"I didn't think about how to deal with him, but he couldn't think about it, so he sprinkled the lobby with fire oil, planning to play a barbecue and roast himself into a roast pig. And I happened to pass by here, and after knowing his thoughts, in line with the principle of helping others and being happy, I planned to help him and help him light the fire in advance, so that he could barbecue calmly. Liu Hou said innocently.
"......" Zhou Xue was speechless for a while, what is this? How can an uncle play any barbecue?
"You really didn't want to kill him?"
"No, why should I kill him?"
"I beg you one thing, can you not kill Uncle Bu?"
"It's all said, I'm not trying to kill him, it's him who wants to kill himself."
