Chapter 588: Yangmou
Xiao Ye's plan is a conspiracy.
If Zhou Guo's spies sneaked in and set fire to the granary, they could spread a lot of news, and even print newspapers and secretly spread them to Zhou Guo's territory through Yiwei, so that the people of Zhou Guo and the court would be separated from each other.
If they don't come, then the news of the opening of granaries here will also spread to the country of Zhou. When the people of Zhou state learn that after the Chu army captured the city, they will not only open the granaries without committing crimes, but they will also release the granaries. The imperial court of the country is at odds with Germany.
No matter whether the enemy country comes or not, Chu State will make a lot of money.
The commander of the four guards said with admiration: "Your Highness is brilliant!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's get ready, order people to write more notices and post them at the gates of the city, and then send some people to go door-to-door to publicize the opening of warehouses to release grain."
The commander of the four guards cupped fist said: "The last general obeys!"
The Shadow Guards have always been vigorous and resolute in their work. Within half an hour, not only were notices posted on several city gates in the inner city and outer city, but they also sent two teams of people to beat gongs and drums in the city to promote it.
All of a sudden, the people in Xincheng rejoiced, but Xiao Ye just waited to see if anyone would come and set fire to the warehouse.
Garrison Fuchu
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye who came back, nodded and said: "Well, yes, your thoughts are getting more and more careful, didn't you really pretend to be a father before?"
Xiao Ye scratched his head: "What are you pretending to be?"
The virtuous king said: "In the past, you had a simple mind and well-developed limbs. You could beat up a dozen sons of rich and powerful families a day."
Xiao Ye spread his hands and said, "What can I do if they are disobedient?"
King Xian asked: "Why didn't you think about using your brain too much at that time? Do you have to do it?"
Xiao Ye spread his hands and said, "Because it's more convenient to do it. Is there something wrong with it? See how obedient they are now."
The virtuous king asked again: "Then let you write a poem and you can't write it, but you would rather steal Xuqing. What is the reason? Would you rather copy it eight hundred times than use your brain?"
Xiao Ye scratched his head again, and said, "Actually, if you really want to write, it's not impossible to write."
The virtuous king asked: "If you can write it, why don't you write it?"
Xiao Ye said very sincerely: "Because you have finished all the easy-to-write poems. What do you see one by one, two ducks playing in green water? Tell me, these poems that can be made up casually have all been written. You wrote it, and if I write it again, won’t it be the same as yours? Will it count as yours or mine?”
When King Xian heard this, his face immediately sank. He wrote everything that could be made up casually?
Are his poems really bad?
This brat!
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Xiao Ye thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is no more."
The Xian Wang said in a deep voice: "If there is no more, hurry up and inspect the defense!"
Xiao Ye: "..."
The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ye's leaving back and sighed, his son is really like himself back then, you can't praise him at all, and he will only take two breaths after boasting, it will definitely make you angry.
Alas, my own species, I have to raise it even with tears in my eyes...
In an ordinary house in the west of the city
Several men in civilian clothes gathered here.
A burly man in black heard the voice outside, and said with a grin: "These Chu people still want to open a warehouse to release grain? Dage waited until the grain was released, we took advantage of the chaos and set it on fire. Look at them." What is Chu going to do?!"
The man in blue shook his head: "No."
The burly man in black asked puzzledly: "Why? We can return to the camp as soon as possible by completing the task entrusted to us by the commander in chief."
The other men in black also looked at the man in blue with puzzled expressions on their faces.
The man in blue said: "Now the people in the whole city know that they are going to open a warehouse to release grain, but we set it on fire. Guess what news will come out here tomorrow? How will the people of the world think of the court?"
The burly man in black said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then we just don't burn it!"
The man in blue glanced at him and said, "Wait for them to take the initiative to open the warehouse to release grain, and then the people in the surrounding cities will understand the benevolence of the Chu army, which will also make them alienate the court."
The burly man in black gritted his teeth and said, "It's not right to burn it, and it's not right not to burn it. You have to be so angry for a mission?!"
The man in blue said: "This is a conspiracy. They told us openly that they, Chu State, knew what we would do, and they also told us what they would do, but no matter whether we did it or not, we, Zhou State, would suffer. "
Another lean man in black frowned and said, "But tomorrow they will open the warehouse to release grain. Even if we go back to ask the commander for instructions, it's too late. By the time we finish asking for instructions and come back, their grain will be out long ago!" Dage , what should we do?"
The man in blue finally gritted his teeth and said, "Do it, why not do it? The grain and grass should be burned and continue to be burned! Isn't it just that they will open a warehouse to release grain tomorrow? Take advantage of the chaos and burn it to see what is left."
The thin man asked suspiciously; "Dage, didn't you just say that burning the granary would make the people and the court alienate?"
The man in blue said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that if you don't burn it, you won't be renounced?"
The thin man pursed his lips and said, "But if we don't burn it, at least the impact will be less than burning it..."
The man in blue said: "If you don't burn it, the impact will be much better than if you burn it, but don't forget, we have a military order! The mission given to us by the commander is to burn down the granary. What will be the end of disobeying the military order? Don't I need to say more?"
The lean man instantly understood what the man in blue meant when he heard this.
Whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy by Chu State, does it matter to them who are like chess pieces?
They are the sharpest spears of the state of Zhou, and weapons should not have feelings!
All they have to do is to fulfill the orders of the court and commander.
As for the consequences of this order, there will be people above who will have a headache, and it has nothing to do with them.
If it is burned this time, they have successfully completed the task, and they will naturally record a sum in the credit book.
But if they turn back at this time and tell the commander what happened here, if the commander is reasonable, he will pardon them and perhaps reward them, but if the commander is cold-blooded and ruthless, they will end up with different heads.
Although being an obedient weapon may not have a chance to make a fortune in a lifetime, but it can survive in the world most securely.
As long as they set off the fire and return to the camp in time, the news of what happened here will not reach the ears of the commander-in-chief. After they have finished remembering what they should have done, even if the marshal gets the news here, it will be a headache for the marshal and the court .
Burning the granary may not be the best choice for Zhou Guo, but it is their best choice!
They have no reason not to!
The man in blue took one last look at them and said, "Tomorrow is the time for us to act when the state of Chu opens the granary!"
Many black-clothed men in the room immediately cupped fist and said, "Yes!"
