Five hundred and eighty-eight words: Yang Conspiracy!
Xiao Ye's plan is a conspiracy.
If the spies of the Zhou Kingdom secretly lurked and burned the granaries, they could spread the news in large quantities, and even print newspapers and secretly spread them to the Zhou Kingdom through Yiwei, alienating the people of the Zhou Kingdom from the imperial court.
If they don't come, then the news of the opening of granaries to release grain will also spread to the country of Zhou. When the people of Zhou learn that after the Chu army captured the city, not only did Qiu commit no crime, but they also opened granaries to release grain, they will also know how to do it.
The country's imperial court was alienated from its moral principles.
Regardless of whether the enemy comes to prevent fire and burn the warehouse, Chu 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, go and get ready. Instruct people to write a few more notices and post them at the city gate, 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 clasped his fists and said: "I will obey your orders!"
The Shadow Guards always acted vigorously and resolutely. Within half an hour, not only were notices posted on several gates of the inner city and outer city, but they also sent two teams of people to beat gongs and drums in the city to promote the matter.
For a moment, the people of Xincheng were rejoicing, but Xiao Ye was just waiting to see if anyone would come and set fire to the warehouse.
Guard the mansion
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye who was coming back, nodded and said: "Well, that's right, your thoughts are getting more and more careful. Didn't you really pretend to be angry with your father before?"
Xiao Ye scratched his head: "What are you pretending to be?"
The wise king said: "In the past, you had a simple mind and well-developed limbs. You could beat more than a dozen sons of powerful families in a day."
Xiao Ye spread his hands and said, "What can I do if they don't obey?"
The wise king asked: "Why didn't you think too much about it at that time? Did you have to do it?"
Xiao Ye spread his hands and said, "Because it's more convenient to do it. Is it wrong to do it the most convenient way? You see how obedient they are now."
The wise king asked again: "Then what's the reason for asking you to write a poem but you couldn't write it and would rather steal Xu Qing's poem? Would you rather copy it eight hundred times than use your brain?"
Xiao Ye scratched his head again and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to write if you really want to write."
The wise king asked: "Why don't you write it if you can?"
Xiao Ye said sincerely: "Because you have finished everything that is easy to write. What do you think of one piece after another, or two ducks playing in the green water? Tell me, these poems that can be compiled casually have been written by you."
If you write it, and if I write it again, won’t it be the same as yours? Will it be yours or mine?"
When the wise king heard this, his face suddenly darkened. What do you mean that he could have just made it up before he wrote it first?
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 there is no more."
The wise king said in a deep voice: "If there is no more, why don't you hurry up and inspect the defense!"
Xiao Ye: "..."
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye's leaving back and sighed. His son is really like himself back then. He cannot be praised at all. After two breaths of praise, he will definitely make you angry.
Alas, my own seed has to be raised with tears in my eyes...
In an ordinary house in the west of the city
Several men in civilian clothes gathered here.
A strong man in black heard the noise outside and said with a smile: "These Chu people still want to open a warehouse to release grain? Brother, we will take advantage of the chaos and burn it down when the grain is being released. Look at them.
What does Chu State want to put in?!"
But the man in blue shook his head: "No."
The strong man in black asked in confusion: "Why? The sooner we complete the mission entrusted to us by the commander, the sooner we can return to the camp."
The other men in black also looked at the man in blue, with puzzled looks 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 store grain, but we burned it down. Guess what news will come out here tomorrow? How will the people in the world view the imperial court?"
The strong man in black said solemnly: "If that's the case, then we just don't burn it!"
The man in blue glanced at him and said, "Wait until they take the initiative to open warehouses to release grain. Then the people in the surrounding cities will understand the benevolence of the Chu army, which will also make them alienate from the imperial court."
The strong man in black gritted his teeth and said: "It's not right to burn it, it's not right not to burn it, and you have to be treated like this for doing a mission?!"
The man in blue said: "This is a conspiracy. They told us openly and honestly that they, the State of Chu, knew what we would do, and they also told us what they were going to do. But no matter whether we did it or not, we, the State of Zhou, would suffer the consequences.
"
Another lean man in black frowned and said, "But tomorrow they will open a warehouse to store grain. Even if we go back to ask for instructions from the commander now, it will be too late. By the time we come back after asking for instructions, their grain will have been put away long ago! Brother
, what should we do?”
The man in blue gritted his teeth for the last time and said, "Do it, why not do it? Keep burning the grain and grass! It just so happens that they will open the warehouse tomorrow to put grain in it? Let's burn it while the chaos is going on and see what's left by then."
The lean man asked doubtfully, "Brother, didn't you just say that burning the granary would alienate the people from the imperial court?"
The man in blue said solemnly: "Wouldn't it mean that if you don't burn it, you won't be alienated?"
The lean man pursed his lips and said, "But if we don't burn it, the impact will at least be smaller than if we burn it..."
The man in blue said: "If you don't burn it, the impact will be much better than burning it, but don't forget, we have military orders! The commander-in-chief gave us the task of burning down the granary. What will happen if we disobey the military order?
No need for me to say more, right?"
When the lean man heard this, he immediately understood what the man in blue meant.
Regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or a conspiracy on the part of the Chu State, is this important to them, who are just like chess pieces?
They are the sharpest spears in the Zhou Kingdom. Weapons should not have emotions!
All they have to do is fulfill the orders of the court and the commander-in-chief.
As for what the consequences of this order will be, the people above will have a headache, and it has nothing to do with them.
If it is burned this time, they will have successfully completed their mission, and a credit will naturally be recorded for them 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 or even reward them, but if the commander is cold-blooded and ruthless, they will end up with their heads missing.
Although being an obedient weapon may not make you a successful person in your lifetime, you can survive in the world in the safest way possible.
As long as they finish setting off the fire and return to the camp in time, the news of what happened here will not reach the commander-in-chief. When they have finished recording all the merits, even if the commander-in-chief gets the news here, it will be a headache for the commander-in-chief 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 do it!
The man in blue glanced at them one last time and said, "Tomorrow when Chu State opens its warehouses to release grain, it's time for us to take action!"
Many men in black in the room immediately clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"
