Chapter 59: Zhou Xue's Mission
Chapter 59: Zhou Xue's Mission
P.S. I'm sorry, I'm too tired to hold on, I can't finish this chapter, and I can't revise it, so I'll make it up tomorrow.
As mentioned last time, Liu Hou wanted to persuade Zhou Xue to go back and assassinate Bu Qi, but Zhou Xue didn't agree after all, but she promised to go back and persuade Bu Qiu not to burn grain and grass.
At this moment, Bu Qi was pacing around in the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, and the Shu army threw those hateful little pieces of paper, which made him very annoyed. He was speechless about the Shu army's accusation that he had drowned hundreds of thousands of people by digging river embankments.
Although he scoffed at the Shu army's statement that the number of people drowned in the city, the problem was that he did send Lu Mao to lead 10,000 people out of the city to dig the river embankment, and the people in the whole city saw it, so there was no need to argue about this matter, and the people in the city, including himself, believed that this "good thing" that hurt the sky and reason was done by himself.
Bu Qiu was angry that the Shu army actually said that they wanted to burn the grain of the whole city, not only the official warehouse, but also the granary of the big households.
God can testify that although he also had this idea, he really did not make up his mind to do so.
Tens of thousands of people were drowned by digging river embankments, and they felt very uncomfortable. Although he also knew that burning the grain in the city would definitely slow down the footsteps of the Shu army and make them unable to go north for a long time, his conscience was also strongly condemned for doing so.
Although he is also a hero in troubled times, he is definitely not as cold-blooded as Liu Hou imagined. After he occupied Lingnan, he also made great efforts to develop civil affairs and improve people's livelihood, and these drowned people were his people.
Before the war, he was still doing everything possible to benefit these people, but after the war, he actually murdered them, which made him embarrassed, so although he had thought of the plan of burning food for a long time, he could not make up his mind.
Zhou Xue returned to Panyu City, just in time to see Bu Qi pacing irritably, Bu Qi couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her, her heart was first happy, and asked, "Why did you come back?" You have already killed Liu Chan? ”
However, then he saw Zhou Xue's gloomy face, and his heart couldn't help but sink again, and said, "Didn't you succeed in killing?" ”
Zhou Xue didn't answer his question, but asked, "Uncle Bu, do you want to burn all the grain and grass in Panyu City?" ”
Hearing Zhou Xue's question, Bu Qi was almost so angry that he vomited blood, now the whole city is misunderstanding himself and beware of himself, how can even this little niece who has always been close to him doubt himself?
"Who sued you? This is nonsense, isn't that kid Liu Chan suing you? You must not listen to his rhetoric, he is trying to make you misunderstand me and drive a wedge between us. ”
"You really didn't figure it out that Guò burned the grain and grass and dragged the Shu army in Lingnan?"
"No, you don't want to fall for his tricks. Am I that kind of person? Can I do such a thing regardless of the lives of hundreds of thousands of people? Bu Qi explained.
"How do you explain the fact that people were sent to dig the river embankment and drown hundreds of thousands of people in the flood? Don't say you didn't do it, the whole world saw that you sent 10,000 people to do it. Zhou Xue pressed forward step by step.
"This, this, this, this must be Liu Chan's kid who made it up to deceive you, think about it, the entire Lingnan has a population of only a few hundred thousand, and there are a few people living near the embankment of the Yuejiang River, this Liu Chan is so shameless, spreading rumors that I drowned hundreds of thousands of people. Do you think this is possible? Could it be that so many people drowned me? This kid really can't even tell lies, revealing such a big flaw. ”
Zhou Xue didn't know anything about the population and the economy, so he couldn't imagine how many people there were near Panyu City. She was a little relieved when she heard Bu Qi's righteous and stern explanation, but she didn't fully believe Bu Qi's words, she continued to ask, "You really don't know how to burn food?" ”
Bu Qi was almost so angry that she vomited blood: "No, absolutely not." ”
"Then you swear."
"Bastard, I'm a state assassin, and I've always been true to my word, do you swear by it? It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. ”
"Well, I'll trust you for now." After Zhou Xue finished speaking, she left without waiting for Bu Qi to ask her about her situation in Shu Ying. Jiang Buqi didn't swear, she didn't fully believe his words after all, and went directly to the official warehouse to stay there.
Bu Qiu originally wanted to ask her about her situation in Shu Ying, but who knew that this girl didn't even make a salute after she came back, so she directly began to question herself, and after questioning, she went straight to the official warehouse, so angry that Bu Qiu almost vomited blood.
It is said that Zhou Xue came to the official warehouse and saw a lot of people dressed like family members outside the official warehouse. Because there were officers and soldiers guarding the official warehouse, these people did not dare to approach, but they did not leave, and they just guarded not far from the official warehouse.
Zhou Xue was very curious, and didn't understand what these people wanted to do here, so she stepped forward to inquire. After this inquiry, I learned that these families were all from large families in the city, and each of them had some people from each family to form a security group with a large number of people.
This security regiment worked in three shifts, keeping an eye on the official warehouse and the major granaries in the city day and night to prevent Buqi from sending people to burn grain. Their actions like this show that Buqi has lost the hearts of the people in the city, which is why Buqi is so irritable.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, this is an eternal law, and Buqi has felt that he is struggling step by step in Panyu City. So, why do these big families send their families to keep an eye on the major granaries?
It turned out that a few days ago, in the name of longevity, the king gathered most of the heads of large families in the city, and after three rounds of drinking, everyone began to hold a secret meeting to discuss the current situation.
At the beginning, some people proposed that Buqi was brutal and unkind, and Liu Bei, Liu Chan and his son were all well-known Ming monarchs, and they should join the Shu army as soon as possible. This proposal was agreed by the majority of the people, but difficulties arose in the process of implementation.
Now all the families are being watched by Buqi, and what they want to do will be known by Buqi immediately, and the Shu army did not block the four city gates, but the Eastern Wu army itself blocked the city gates in the city, and it was not easy for them to go out and get in touch with the Shu army and discuss the details of the internal and external attacks.
What's more, the Eastern Wu army in the city has a good number of troops, with tens of thousands of well-trained troops, and it is simply wishful thinking for himself and others to rebel with such a small number of people on hand.
Deliberation and deliberation have been carried out, but no solution to these two problems has been come up. Later, some people proposed that it is good to collude with the Shu army and help them seize the city, but now if they make a contribution, when the time comes, when the Shu army subdues Lingnan, or even the same day, they and others will be the heroes of the founding of the country, and when the prince ascends the throne, there will be the merit of the dragon.
But it's so hard to do it now, so big that they can't even do it. If that's the case, why not settle for the next best? All they want is to save their lives.
They couldn't help the Shu army capture the city, but they could send people to keep an eye on the major granaries to stop Buqi from burning grain.
They could have sent people to keep an eye on the major granaries, and there was no excuse or reason to stop this kind of behavior. If the stalkers found out that Buqi was really trying to burn the grain and grass, the stalkers would definitely be able to find out early. When the time comes, the major households will be notified, and the major households will quickly organize the family to protect the granary.
Although this will not make any contribution to the Shu army camp in the future, and will not get great benefits, the benefits will be greatly reduced.
At least you don't have to worry about the fate of being liquidated by Buqi after the failure of the operation. Their behavior is not too excessive, and it is far from touching the bottom line of Buqi, so there is no need to worry about being embarrassed by Buqi. So, there was a scene that Zhou Xue saw.
The atmosphere in the city is eerie, but outside the city is a scene of disaster relief.
