Chapter 860: Layout
Although the Shadow Guards of the Chu State carried a lot of firearms for emergencies, it was not easy to transport them to the city in a hidden way.
As King Xian thought, the firearms of Chu State are the most advanced firearms in the world. All countries must covet them, and Zhou State naturally wants to steal the firearms of Chu State and use them to strengthen itself .
Although Chu State was kind to Zhou State for saving Zhou State on the grassland, the relationship between the two countries has long been beyond the bounds of morality.
Overt and covert fights between countries are dirty and ugly. People may still be civilized, but countries must be full of barbarism and self-interest.
The Weak are Prey to the Strong has always been the norm between countries.
Counting on Chu State to save Zhou State once, Zhou State can follow the rules honestly?
That was a bit of a fantasy.
The court of the state of Zhou must have sent spies overtly and secretly to steal gunpowder from the state of Chu.
But Chu State's gunpowder defense is extremely tight, and Zhou State has not yet succeeded.
Of course, it is not so easy to succeed. The spies in the capital provide information, and the shadow guards outside the capital are strictly on guard, and none of the firearms are lost.
Zhou Guo still wants to save face, with the favor from last time, Zhou Guo is only doing petty theft and dare not use other means.
Otherwise, the public opinion of the world will definitely criticize Zhou Guo.
It can be said that apart from petty theft, if other tough methods are used even a little bit, Zhou Guo will immediately be accused by thousands of people.
However, among the shadow guards of Chu State, they may not have the gunpowder they want, so Emperor Zhou did not mobilize the crowd.
It took a lot of effort to transport the gunpowder in, and with the cooperation of Spy Shadow, he bypassed Zhou Guo's surveillance, pretended to be an ordinary carriage going to the city to buy food supplies, and unloaded the firearms at a grain station under Li Xun's name. down.
However, there is no way to transport too much into the city,
This is the most heavily guarded place in the state of Zhou. The eyeliner in the daytime is intricate, and everyone keeps an eye on the firearms. If there are too many earth fire weapons stationed by the shadow guards of the state of Chu, the eyeliner of the court of the state of Zhou will also notice that it is tricky.
Seizing an heir is different from selling vegetables, Li Xun only has one chance, and if he fails, he will be rewarded, so he must be cautious.
Since the firearms are limited this time, they must be used wisely.
After nightfall, although the imperial city still has many patrols, the strength of the troops is far from that of the daytime. As long as there is a breakthrough, they can enter the imperial city.
The most important thing is to open the city gate to reduce unnecessary time loss. So when the time comes, the limited thunderbolts must be concentrated in one place to blow open the gate of Miyagi.
The gates of the imperial city are not as thick as those of the capital city. The imperial city is different from other places, the residence of the emperor!
It is precisely because the imperial palace is the residence of the emperor, so the gates of the imperial city must take into account both aesthetics and practicality. Once the aesthetics and practicality are considered, it will inevitably decline. No matter how strong the door is, it is useless, and even if there are people in the city who rebel, as long as they persist until dawn, everything will stop.
The most important thing is that there is no such thing as a siege cone in the capital, and there is no raw material for making a siege cone. Even if it takes one night, it cannot be made.
So the gates of the imperial city can be completely beautiful, what are you afraid of?
My practicality has dropped again and again. If you have the ability, you can try to break one?
Soaring Dragon how to lose face riding?
But until now, no one seems to have thought that the invention of gunpowder would become the biggest variable.
If a sufficient amount of gunpowder is piled up in front of the gate of the imperial city, the explosive force generated should be enough to blow up the gate.
There are not enough soldiers and horses in the imperial city, as long as they can get in, then the imperial city will be ruled by Li Xun.
Once the imperial city is under Li Xun's control, the world is equivalent to being under Li Xun's control.
And Li Xun also has a small advantage tonight, that is, it is the turn of the three guards of Habayashi, Longwu, and Xiaoqi in the capital to patrol all parts of the capital, and both Habayashi and Xiaoqi In Li Xun's control.
Although it is not as straightforward as the imperial city's turn to patrol the imperial city, if it is used properly, it is enough to deal a fatal blow to the imperial city!
Mission residence
In order not to arouse suspicion, Xu Qing hid the veiled Li Mingyue in her own bedroom.
There were many people in the mission. If they were preparing a room for Li Mingyue alone, they would come and go, and the news might leak out.
And after Xu Qing hid in his room, these envoys, including the servants who came and went, would only show expressions that I understood and would not arouse too much suspicion.
Jinwu Zangjiao, many of them have done this before.
Going to a place on a mission, ordering a few beauties to enjoy a wave of exotic customs, it is simply not too comfortable.
Many of them have done so.
Anyway, His Royal Highness pushed back the negotiation time again and again, and in this era, there is a lack of addictive entertainment items, coupled with unfamiliar places, it is not too much to hide a few girls in the room to play secretly, right?
Xu Qing looked at Li Mingyue who had put down her small burden, walked over and took her slender hand, and said, "Mingyue, I'm sorry that you stayed here for one night."
Li Mingyue lowered her head and said with a blushing face, "Mingyue promised to be Xu Qing's wife for eighteen days. Husband and wife should be like this. Besides, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Tonight Li Xun is going to seek power and usurp the throne, let alone Li Mingyue can't sleep, even Xiao Ye, an outsider, can't sleep.
The drama of the century, such as seeking power and usurping the throne, is not performed every day. If you miss one, you will miss one.
Li Xun is busy making arrangements, while Xu Qing and Xiao Ye are quite free.
Anyway, they won't go tonight again.
They are the envoys of Chu State, and being able to provide them with firearms is already the limit of what they can do.
Although the two of them may have richer combat experience than the generals under Li Xun, if the two of them, the two generals of the Chu State, who were sealed off from the wolf and lived in Xu, appeared on the battlefield, then the taste of the power and usurpation would change.
At that time, there may be the shadow of Chu State, and Chu State innocently took the blame. Li Xun would really listen to Chu State, but it is obvious that even if Li Xun succeeds, he will not listen to Chu State.
So why does Chu State bother with this matter, and have to bear a bad name for being unkind?
thankless effort...
And Li Xun would not allow it. If the Chu people fought with them, would it be Li Xun seeking to usurp power or Li Xun had been bought by Chu?
So tonight will be Li Xun's solo show, and Xu Qing and Xiao Ye will be the audience, cheering him on and cheering for him at most.
But Xu Qing was too lazy to bother.
This night must be the most frightening and tormenting night for Li Mingyue in her life, because her respected elder brother tried to seek power and usurp the throne for her, and if he failed, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
Having Xu Qing by Li Mingyue's side can relieve Li Mingyue's inner fear to some extent.
Xiao Ye really wants to go, he likes to fight, and this is a battle to seek power and usurp the throne, he has never fought this kind of battle in his life!
However, Xiao Ye, who was eager to try, was stopped by Xu Qing and dragged him away mercilessly.
Xu Qing was also speechless, what kind of fun is this bastard Xiao Ye, if he really likes to fight for power and usurpation, he can wait until he returns to the state of Chu to ask the emperor of Chu to direct and act himself to have a good time.
It is estimated that Emperor Chu is 100% willing to cooperate, and may even be impatient.
