481 Ruthless and calculating
It is said that Xiong Wuliang has long figured it out - after Sima Coo occupies Yingdu, in order to compete for the spoils of the city, the 280,000 army will definitely rush in and scramble.
And looking at the entire Yingdu City, there are only two places that are safe-
First, it's the royal palace!
As a courtier, Sima would not dare to offend the royal palace - even if Qin and Chu played a dog's brain, and this was the royal palace of Chu and not the royal palace of Qin...... As a royal palace, it also has its own sacredness that cannot be violated.
The second is the treasury.
You can think of it with your toes, there is a mountain of goods in it, and none of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han dare to swallow it privately - they must wait for the people of these three countries to go back and forth, and finally they can set their respective shares and start to divide the spoils.
Before that, this treasury was forbidden - even if Sima Cuogui was the commander of the three armies, he would not rush to open the treasury, so as not to provoke the displeasure of Wei and Korea.
This kind of inexplicable thing, with Sima Cuo's temperament and the city government, will not be contaminated with such trouble.
This is Xiong Wuliang's chance to turn around!
The so-called 'treasury' is actually a large semi-underground house – more accurately described as a basement than a house.
The thick blue bricks and stones are thicker than the walls of Yingdu.
This treasury is generally used to hoard tax revenues collected from all over the country over the years – most of them are grain, but a significant part of them is cash.
In addition to the mountains of copper and iron coins, there are also many valuable treasures stored here - it can be regarded as the private collection room of the Chu kings of the past dynasties!
The huge jade that is as white as condensed fat, the ancient sword of fish intestines that was once famous in history, and the rituals of the Yin Shang period that are rusty......
One can imagine how well guarded it would be in normal times!
Generally speaking, there would be a forbidden army of 1,000 men, stationed around the treasury for a long time, and the place would be protected like an iron bucket - no one was to approach it unless ordered by the king of Chu or Ling Yin.
At this moment, a torch was lit in the dark storeroom.
Mountains of coins around the area shone brightly in the light of the fire...... The firelight illuminated a white and miserable face.
It was the commander of the Black Feather Guard who had just captured the beacon tower in the battle of the 'Surprise Attack on Ganyukou' and made great achievements! Metaphor!
"So many treasures......" Yin Yu muttered, "It's a pity ......"
Even the gloomy and dull nature of the metaphor is shocked by the treasure piled up in the treasury at this moment.
However, this is not the time to think about that.
Yin Yu shook his head and looked around: "You all know the mission, right?" ”
More torches quietly lit up, and a group of Black Feather Guard spies appeared one after another, all dressed as Qin soldiers at this moment, each with a torch.
"Returning to the Commander-" A certain Black Feather Guard spy stepped forward: "The brothers have already packed up—the gates of Yingdu are closed on three sides, and only the south gate is still open!" ”
Yin Yu nodded: "Then let's go!" ”
When he retreated last night, Xiong Wuliang had already ordered Zhao to make all the arrangements-
A large amount of fire oil has long been spilled on the streets of Yingdu, hidden in the discarded grass and even grain and grass on the streets.
Xiong Wuliang once created the illusion of 'lack of oil for Sima Cuo'. Now, these oils will be the key to turning the tide of battle!
It's just that these fire oils were not made into fire oil cans and burned on the heads of the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces.
Instead, they are stacked in the streets of Yingdu...... Burn in the city of Yingdu!
Of course, the soldiers of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han didn't care—they thought that the wooden boxes, forage, and grain that were discarded all over the street were all because those stupid Chu people retreated in a hurry, so they didn't have time to clean up, so they hurriedly abandoned things on the side of the road.
Grabbing loot matters, who has the heart to rummage through the garbage that is 'haphazard' discarded on the side of the road?
In fact, every street and every pile of 'garbage' is a meticulous set designed by Xiong Wuliang himself......
Most of the houses in the city are made of wood......
Just a little Mars...... The most spectacular scene of burning the city in history will appear in the city of Yingdu!
Even if Yin Yu has always been ruthless, he can't help but be frightened by Xiong Wuliang's methods at this moment.
Yingdu, this is the royal capital of the Chu people!
It is too significant to overstate.
Xiong Wuliang was so open-minded...... Design to burn your own capital! Come and kill the 280,000 coalition troops under Sima Cuo's command!
Burning the capital with fire oil...... Burning the capital of the country...... This method is not only unprecedented, but I am afraid that most of it will be unprecedented!
Oh, my God!
So ruthless......
Yin Yu shuddered, subconsciously shivered, and once again made up his mind in his heart - no matter how good Hei Yuwei is, he must not betray Xiong Wuliang, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable......
"Set fire!" Yin Yu gave an order: "Burn the city!" ”
That's it, since this poisonous plan is doomed...... I am metaphorical, but I obey it.
Let Wangcheng Yingdu become the ...... of the 280,000 blood-debted Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces Incinerator!
All the black feather guards took the order, and they all flew up, feeling out of the treasury from the tunnel that had been prepared for a long time......
……
Xiong Wuliang sat at the bow of the boat, patiently enduring the chatter.
The meaning of Mi Heng is very clear, and it can be summed up in one sentence -
Xiong Wuliang, are you writing hard?
"There are clear walls to defend, but you abandon the city and flee!"
"Now I stupidly lost my biggest support, but I still have to stay...... Damn Pingnan Sword, we are all going to be killed by you! ”
"At best, our army has fifty or sixty thousand Chu troops, most of which are soldiers - relying on the city wall, it is still possible to fight."
"Now we really have to fight head-on with the 280,000 Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces with the might of a great victory...... How stupid?! ”
The prince jumped to his feet angrily: "Mi Liang! Mi Liang! Hurt Chu Guoye! ”
Zhao Ju closed his eyes slightly and did not speak.
In his heart, he was madly ridiculing Xiong Wuliang!
Volcano? What is a volcano?
A bullshit volcano!
The area around Yingdu is full of plains and rivers, all of which are of fine arable land, and there is not even a small hill - let alone a volcano!
Is he crazy? I don't want to live anymore, and I want to drag the entire Chu State to accompany the funeral?
"It is rumored that Quyang Hou has the art of being able to pass through ghosts and gods...... Could it be that the rumors are true? "There were also ministers who had lost their fortunes and sneered coldly—
"Please set up an altar immediately, summon a volcano from the clouds, and open our eyes!"
"I don't know why the king was so confused at that time...... Hand over the Pingnan Sword to you! ”
"I ...... to be miserable"
Xiong Wuliang turned a deaf ear to these questions and sat in place, as if in a daze. Shao Hu was irritated when he heard this, and he thought that he would go up with a few swords and hack to death all these evil pens that forced Lai Lai-but Xiong Wuliang did not speak, and Shao Hu did not dare to act rashly.
Suddenly, Xiong Wuliang suddenly got up!
His hand pointed in the direction of Yingdu City in the distance—
The crown prince and his ministers looked in the direction of their fingers...... And then the collective shock!
In the distance, on the horizon, black smoke rises up!
Even if you are so far away, you can see it clearly!
Hold the grass.
The ministers, who were still noisy like crows just now, seemed to be choked by the neck! The scene is ridiculous.
Volcano...... It's really coming!
