By the way, Xiong Wuliang had already figured it out a long time ago - after Sima Cuo occupied Yingdu, 280,000 troops would rush in and scramble to grab the spoils all over the city.
Looking at the entire Yingdu City, there are only two places that are safe -
First, it’s the palace!
As a minister, Sima Cuo would not dare to offend the palace - even if Qin and Chu were confused, and this was the palace of Chu, not Qin... As a palace, it has its own sanctity that cannot be violated.
Second, it is the national treasury.
You can even pick up your toes and imagine that there are so many treasures here that no one of the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei, and Han dares to embezzle them - they must wait for the three kingdoms to argue back and forth before they can finally decide on their respective shares and start dividing the spoils.
Before that, the treasury was a forbidden area - even if Sima Cuogui was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he would not open the treasury rashly to avoid incurring the dissatisfaction of Wei and South Korea.
Such an inexplicable matter, with Sima Cuo's temperament and the city government, would not be involved in such trouble.
This is Xiong Wuliang's chance to make a comeback!
The so-called 'treasury' is actually a large semi-underground house - to be more precise, it is more of a basement than a house.
The thick blue bricks and tiles are thicker than the city wall of Yingdu.
This treasury is generally used to store tax revenue collected from all over the country over the years - most of the tax revenue is food, but a considerable part of it 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 kings of Chu in the past!
The huge jade as white as jade, the ancient fish intestine sword that was once famous in history, the rusty ritual utensils from the Yin and Shang Dynasties...
One can imagine how tight the defenses here would be in normal times!
Generally speaking, there will be a team of thousands of forbidden troops stationed around the treasury for a long time, protecting the place like an iron barrel - no one is allowed to approach unless ordered by the King of Chu or Ling Yin.
At this moment, a torch lit up in the dark warehouse.
The mountains of coins surrounding him shone brightly in the firelight... The firelight illuminated a pale face.
It was the commander of the Black Feather Guards who had just captured the beacon tower and made great achievements in the battle of "Surprise Attack on Ganyukou"! Metaphor!
"So many treasures..." Yin Yu murmured: "What a pity..."
Even Yin Yu's ruthless and dull temperament was shocked by the treasures accumulated in the treasury at this moment.
However, this is not the time to think about this.
Yin Yu shook his head and looked around: "You all know the mission, right?"
More torches were quietly lit up, and a group of Black Feather Guard spies appeared one after another. They were all dressed as Qin soldiers, each holding a torch.
"Report to the Commander--" A certain Black Feather Guard spy came forward: "Brothers have already packed up--all the gates on three sides of Yingdu are closed, and only the south gate is open!"
Yin Yu nodded: "Then take action!"
When retreating last night, Xiong Wuliang had ordered Zhao Hua to make all arrangements——
Massive amounts of kerosene had already been spilled on the streets of Yingdu, hidden among the discarded fodder and even grains all over the streets.
Xiong Wuliang once created the illusion of "lack of kerosene" for Sima Cuo. Now, these kerosene will be the key to turning the tide of the war!
However, the kerosene was not made into kerosene cans and burned on the heads of the Qin, Wei and Han coalition forces.
Instead, they were piled up in the streets of Yingdu... and burned in the city of Yingdu!
Of course, the soldiers of Qin, Wei and Han didn't take it seriously - they thought that the wooden boxes, fodder, and grains discarded all over the street were all because the stupid Chu people retreated in a hurry and had no time to clean up, so they left things on the roadside in a panic. .
It's important to grab the loot, but who has the heart to rummage through the rubbish "randomly" discarded on the roadside?
In fact, every street and every pile of 'garbage' is carefully designed by Xiong Wuliang himself...
Most of the houses in the city are wooden...
Just a little spark... the most spectacular scene of burning the city in history will appear in Yingdu City!
Even though Yin Yu has always been ruthless, he couldn't help but feel frightened by Xiong Wuliang's methods at this moment.
Yingdu, this is the royal capital of the Chu people!
Its significance cannot be overstated.
Xiong Wuliang actually went out of his way to plan to burn down his own capital! Come and kill the 280,000 coalition troops under Sima Cuo!
Burning one's own capital with kerosene... Burning one's own capital... This method is not only unprecedented, but also probably unprecedented!
Oh my God!
So cruel...
Yin Yu shuddered, shuddered subconsciously, and made up his mind again - no matter how clever the Black Feather Guards are, they must not betray Xiong Wuliang, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous...
"Set fire!" Yin Yu gave the order: "Burn the city!"
Forget it, since this poisonous plan has been doomed...I just want to follow your orders.
Let the royal city of Yingdu become a corpse-burning furnace for the 280,000 Qin, Wei, and Han coalition forces who were heavily burdened with blood debts!
All the black-feathered guards accepted the order, flew up in unison, and took out the treasury from the tunnel that had been prepared...
…
Xiong Wuliang was sitting on the bow of the boat, patiently enduring Mi Heng's chatter.
Mi Heng’s meaning is very clear and can be summarized in one sentence——
Xiong Wuliang, are you bad at writing?
"There is clearly a wall to defend, but you abandoned the city and fled!"
"Now that I have stupidly lost my biggest support, I still want to stay... Damn Ping Nanjian, we are all going to be killed by you!"
"Our army is at most 50,000 to 60,000 Chu troops, most of whom are weak soldiers - relying on the city wall, we can still fight."
"Now we really want to confront the 280,000 Qin, Wei, and Han allied forces with the power of victory... How stupid is it?!"
The prince was so angry that he jumped on his feet: "Mi Liang! Mi Liang! You are harming the country of Chu!"
Zhaoju closed his eyes slightly and said nothing.
In his heart, he was mocking Xiong Wuliang crazily!
volcano? What volcano?
Bullshit volcano!
The surrounding areas of Yingdu are all plains and rivers, and are all high-quality farmland. There are not even any hills - let alone any volcanoes!
Is he crazy? If you don’t want to live anymore, you want to drag the entire Chu country with you?
"There are rumors that Marquis Qu Yang has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods... Could it be that the rumors are true?" Some ministers who had lost all their wealth mocked coldly -
"Please set up an altar immediately and summon a volcano from the clouds to open our eyes!"
"I don't know why the king was so confused at that time...I will hand over the Pingnan Sword to you!"
"It hurts me too..."
Xiong Wuliang turned a deaf ear to these questions and sat there, as if in a daze. Shaohu felt irritated when he heard this, and he wanted to go up with a few swords and chop all these evil pens that were forcing Lai Lai to death - but Xiong Wuliang didn't say anything for a long time, and Shaohu didn't dare to move rashly.
Suddenly, Xiong Wuliang stood up suddenly!
His hand pointed in the direction of Yingdu City in the distance——
The prince and the ministers looked in the direction of the finger...and were collectively shocked!
In the distance, on the horizon, black smoke rises!
Even though you are so far away, you can see clearly!
Hold the grass.
The ministers who were noisy like crows just now seemed to have been strangled by the neck! The scene is extremely ridiculous.
The volcano...is really coming!
