It is said that the vast majority of the nobles and ministers present are suffering from the ruthless plundering of the Qin, Wei and Han soldiers at this moment...... Of course, the face is not good-looking.

In the face of everyone's incomprehension and even resentment, Xiong Wuliang still looked as usual.

Well...... It's not nice to say.

Anyway, my fiefdom is far away in Quyang County......

No matter how much the soldiers under Sima Cuo's command loot and loot in Yingdu at the moment, they will not be able to rob my house.

The left and right are not robbing me, what am I anxious about?

Of course we are unscrupulous, Qu Yanghou is not distressed!

Then again, after this battle, the sharp-edged Xiong Wuliang will undoubtedly be unable to continue to hide his clumsiness, so he will definitely work towards the peak of power in the Chu State. With Quyanghou's current prestige and real power, the success rate of finally coming to power is quite high.

In this case, it is necessary to think long-term.

Now it is different from the past - after the enemy army is defeated, Xiong Wuliang comes to power, and he will definitely reuse Qu Yuan, Le Yi and other henchmen to promote drastic reforms throughout the entire territory of Chu State.

The so-called butt decides the head - now that Xiong Wuliang is close to the peak of power in the Chu State, most of the power collected by the 'centralization of power and change of law' in the future will be 'collected' in the hands of the Marquis of Quyang.

The benefits of the change to Xiong Wuliang have far outweighed the disadvantages.

Back in the day, Qu Yuan used to be a dignified top minister, who had been operating in Quyang County for several years with hard work, working as a junior like Xiong Wuliang...... Finally, the hard work pays off!

This little lord's ass has now been completely moved to the side of 'supporting the change'!

As we all know, the so-called reform of the law is to harvest the rights and interests of vested interests and redistribute wealth, rights and even social status. These aristocratic ministers present are all very wealthy, and they are the vested interests under the former system of the Chu State.

Since the Marquis of Quyang will change the law sooner or later, these nobles and ministers will have to stand on the opposite side of Xiong Wuliang sooner or later......

If it is a little darker--at this moment, using Sima Cuo's hand to weaken these noble ministers can be regarded as beneficial to Xiong Wuliang's long-term law change plan.

Think about it carefully - now the nobles and ministers of Chu have already suffered a lot of damage in this protracted war.

Recall that our overlord drove the expedition in person - countless great nobles brought their own private troops to participate in the war in response to the call of the king of Chu. As a result, in the 'Battle of Luguan', the army was defeated, and even King Chu Huai himself became a prisoner.

The defeat was like a mountain. Even the King of Chu, who was under key protection, couldn't keep it, and the security of the other nobles ...... Not to mention.

Even if there is a lucky escape, it is only to save his own life - as for the loyal subordinates under his command, they are also dead and wounded, and it can be said that there is not one in ten.

Further on, the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces took advantage of the victory and marched south.

Sima Cuo's army plundered the Huainan Plain, the richest part of the Chu State, along the way - as we all know, those who can seal the fiefdom here must be the most powerful top clans in the Chu State.

Thinking back to the beginning, most of the resistance that Wu Qi encountered when he changed the law in the Chu State came from these wealthy families with a strong background, rich heritage, and a long history.

The Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces killed all the way - although the civilians suffered countless casualties, in fact, they also caused these originally powerful nobles to go bankrupt.

Invisibly, it can be regarded as clearing the biggest obstacle for Xiong Wuliang's follow-up change strategy.

Later, Bai Qi flooded 200,000 Chu troops, a considerable part of which were the subordinates, domestic servants, and even the concubines of the Yingdu ministers.

This is another wave of ruthless weakening.

Miserable! It's miserable!

Now, these noble-born ministers have not only lost their troops, but now they can't even keep the wealth they have accumulated for thousands of years...... Without force and financial resources, what waves can be turned over?

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhaoli's mouth curled slightly...... Secretly glanced at the little lord with a calm face, and said in his heart, Is all this also in your plan?

Well...... He shouldn't have so many eyes, right?

……

Just as Zhao Hua was thinking about it, Zhao Ju unconsciously raised his eyebrows at the crown prince.

The crown prince Mi Heng was already full of anger, but now that he got Zhao Ju's hint, he immediately jumped out and walked in front of Xiong Wuliang under the eyes of everyone-

"Qu Yanghou, dare to ask what to do now?"

"With an order, you discarded the great king city of Yingdu."

"The hundred officials of the court, along with the crown prince, are homeless...... Where do I flee now? ”

Mi Heng gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.

This stunned prince has never known how to suppress his emotions - the angry expression at this moment was seen by everyone, and the ministers all felt nervous, and then they were all thoughtful......

Then again-

If it weren't for Xiong Wuliang, there would be tens of thousands of elite troops under his command...... Even if this guy is holding the powerful Pingnan Sword in his hand, Mi Heng really wants to kill this bastard brother who abandoned the city and fled with one sword at this moment!

Xiong Wuliang got up with a smile and coughed lightly at the prince: "Run? Why run away? ”

Mi Heng was stunned!

Yes? Does this need to be asked?

Sima Co had already taken possession of Yingdu—and was now immersed in the pleasure of looting, which could be regarded as giving us people a little time to flee for their lives.

After three or five days, Sima Cuo's army of 280,000 was satisfied with the plunder, and he would definitely free up his hands and try to continue to expand.

If they resolutely rely on the city wall to defend it, the Chu people may still have a three-to-five-point chance of winning...... Now that there is no protection from the city wall of Yingdu, why should we fight a field war with the 280,000 allied troops of others?

If you don't run now, when?

Could it be that Xiong Wuliang is a bad pen?

Winter is just around the corner.

As long as you don't get caught by Sima Co before the cold winter comes...... At least they can survive until the beginning of spring next year. During this period, if we engage in diplomatic relations, bow our heads to the Qin State as a dog, and seize the time to reorganize the troops, maybe we can continue the incense of Sheji.

If you don't run, you won't even have this chance to survive!

Xiong Wuliang smiled and glanced around—the ministers had different expressions and thoughts, but one thing was the same - that is, collective confusion.

"May I ask the prince-" Xiong Wuliang paused, glanced at Yingdu City in the distance, the murderous aura in his eyes swept by, and then said with a smile: "Have you ever seen a volcano?" ”

The prince Mi Heng, who originally looked like a teacher asking for guilt, is now stunned.

Zhao Ju was also stunned.

The ministers were stunned.

Volcano?

Only the Zhao slip on the side sighed slightly, and looked in the direction of Yingdu from afar......

……

Yingdu City.

In the streets and alleys, the soldiers of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han were happily looting.

The rich capital of Yingdu is full of wealth and goods...... The soldiers were busy stuffing all kinds of valuable things into their arms, going from house to house and searching through cabinets, but there was no establishment to speak of.

Only the treasury and the royal palace, which were sealed by Sima Cuo's order, escaped for the time being.

At this moment, in the quiet treasury.

A torch lit up, dispelling the darkness in the sealed warehouse......
