"You mean, the imperial court will take advantage of the situation and reduce the vassal status?"
When he said this, Liu Bi's face was full of solemnity.
"Although I missed the mark, I'm afraid it's not far off"
As soon as Le Chao said these words, the whole study suddenly became filled with sadness.
Why has Liu Bi spent a lot of money to bribe high-ranking officials every year over the years?
Isn¡¯t it just to prevent the national policy of reducing the vassal state from being passed in the court?
But now the behavior of Chu King Liu Wu directly gave the court the best excuse.
With this incident as an excuse, it will be a matter of course next time.
I am afraid that the matter of cutting down the vassal vassal can no longer be stopped from now on.
If you want to accuse someone, why bother without words?
As long as there is a precedent, the court can naturally find the faults of the major princes and kings.
"One county today, one county tomorrow, I am afraid that within a few decades, all the princes in the world will be out of control."
"It's gone, it's gone!"
Just when Liu Bi was filled with sorrow, a man's frightened voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Where did the water leak?"
Liu Biteng stood up suddenly, quickly opened the window and looked outside.
"It's gone, it's gone, please come quickly!"
After opening the window, the sounds outside suddenly became clearer.
"Go and find out for me, what's going on?"
Looking at the red sky not far away, Liu Bi was really worried now.
"not¡¡"
Glancing at the direction of the fire, Le Chao's heart skipped a beat. Halfway through his words, he didn't even dare to continue. If it was as he suspected, the world would be in chaos.
"Your Majesty, the Pacific Warehouse in West City is on fire!"
"What did you say!"
Liu Bi stood up abruptly. In a rage, he felt his eyes go dark and he fainted with a bang.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Le Chao, who was standing next to him, rushed forward and supported him. He pinched Renzhong and patted his chest, but it still had no effect.
"What are you doing standing still? Go find the imperial doctor quickly!"
Looking at Yang Sheng who was stunned at the side, Le Chao hurriedly scolded.
Only then did Yang Sheng realize what he was doing and hurriedly sent someone to find the imperial doctor.
After a lot of busy work, Liu Bi finally woke up.
"Leave me alone, go put out the fire, go put out the fire!"
As soon as Liu Bi, whose face was as golden as paper, came to his senses, he immediately gave instructions to Le Chao.
"No!"
Le Chao did not dare to neglect. Although he was worried that Liu Bi's body would not be able to hold on, it seemed that it was most appropriate for him to go forward at this time.
After all, Wu State¡¯s Taipingcang stored not only copper coins, but also millions of stones of rice and countless ordnance.
"If all these things were burned to the ground, Liu Bi would have a hard time holding on to his position as King of Wu, let alone rebelling.
This is the foundation for Liu Bi to settle down and live a life!
Copper coins can be recast after being burned into copper liquid, but if the grain is burned, there is really nothing left.
You must know that in this day and age, even in the land of Wu and Chu, where the land is fertile and the grain and grass are abundant, it is not easy to accumulate so much grain.
An ordinary farmer can only have a year's surplus after three years of accumulation. This bunch of millions of stones of grain is almost the hard work of Wu State in the past ten years.
Especially at this juncture, Wu¡¯s 300,000-strong army is on the alert. If the court takes further action, Wu King Liu Bi still has the qualifications to raise his arms.
But if all the supplies of food, grass and weapons suddenly go wrong, he might not even be qualified to raise his voice.
By the time Le Chao hurried to the scene of the fire, the scene in front of him had already made Le Chao feel cold all over and his eyes turned black
There was a strong wind tonight, but now the wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind. Under the raging force of Zhu Rong, more than 30 large granaries in a row have now turned into blazing torches.
"Run quickly, the fire is too strong and we can't stop it!"
The fire was so powerful that the soldiers who put out the fire were still watching the fire raging. Now they could only run back desperately.
"Clang¡ª¡ª"
?Le Chao fiercely pulled out the sword from his waist, dragging the sword to draw a line on the ground.
"Don't run away, everyone go back and put out the fire! Anyone who dares to retreat past this line will be killed without mercy!"
Le Chao's eyes suddenly turned red. If these thirty-odd large granaries were lost all at once, I am afraid that from now on, the Wu Kingdom would be in ruins.
"My lord, the fire cannot be saved!"
A soldier, whose eyebrows were singed, begged Le Chao for mercy with a sad face.
"Pfft¡ª¡ª"
Le Chao gritted his teeth and stabbed his chest directly with his backhand sword.
"Anyone who dares to disrupt the morale of our army will be killed without mercy! Now, everyone go back and put out the fire!"
Looking at the blood-stained sword in Le Chao's hand, all the soldiers felt a chill on their backs, even if they were in the fire.
Under Le Chao¡¯s death threat, these soldiers who had almost dispersed finally calmed down.
It¡¯s just that the fire is already irreversible. Even if these soldiers try their best, in the end it will just be an extra fuel in the fire.
By the time the sky was dim, the three thousand soldiers who were the first to put out the fire were all already involved in the fire.
However, the fire still did not abate. Thousands of soldiers arrived later and hurriedly moved the remaining grain stored in several peripheral warehouses out.
It¡¯s just that the food was only halfway transported. Maybe God finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. A heavy rain fell, and the food that was finally transported was completely finished
Fortunately, the sky is filled with fire. Finally under control, Le Chao was alone in the wind and rain. The cold rain poured on his body. Le Chao's heart was as cold as the rain
This sudden fire made things worse. Le Chao knew in his heart that the Wu Kingdom was about to end.
Even if they can survive this current level, it will be a matter of time before the Kingdom of Wu falls
The imperial court will never give them another ten years and a chance to start over again. In the next few years, the entire Wu State will be politically passive
"Your Majesty, the fire is finally under control"
Le Chao didn¡¯t even know how he returned to the palace. He was originally ambitious, but now he also feels fear
"How's the food going? How much was looted?"
Although Liu Bi was now so weak that it was difficult to even sit up, he still looked at Le Chao eagerly, hoping that he could bring him good news.
¡°The food snatched away was less than 50,000 dan¡¡±
Le Chao¡¯s voice was full of endless sadness.
"Wu Guo, it's over"
Liu Bi lay slumped on the bed, the look in his eyes seemed to be gone. He could not imagine that in the end, he, a hero and a righteous man, could only be a puppet at the mercy of others.
"Your Majesty, this is not certain, right? We still have one last chance to fight!"
Le Chao suddenly gritted his teeth, his eyes full of madness (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
