I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 204
"According to what you mean, if the people who go in now can't find the mechanism, they can't get out of the military path?"

Liu Bang looked at the person in front of him. It was Jin Sai, the lieutenant general sent by Li Qiong, and Jin Sai himself... looked a little fearful and cowardly at the same time.

He was not afraid of death. Ever since he rebelled with Li Qiong, he had already put life and death aside. Instead, he faced the emperor, his emperor, who had suffered a great loss in his hands. When Qi talked about it, he was very disdainful, but when he really met, he immediately showed his timidity.

Maybe it's guilt, maybe it's something else, but no matter what it is, anyway, he dare not raise his head in front of Zhao Guan's family now.

By the way, this was also the first time he saw the emperor himself. Back then, his status was low, and Liu Guangshi was the biggest official he had come into contact with.

At this time Zhao Guanjia asked, Jin Sai just repeated everything Li Qiong said, and it was a bit funny. He never thought that he came to threaten the emperor.

Yes, it is a threat.

"Return, report back to the Holy Majesty, the marshal said that there are many roads under Bozhou, there are Han Dao and Jin Dao, there is Tang Dao, and our Song Dao, and apart from Han Dao and Tang Dao, other Dao are indeed They were all flooded by the vortex."

"Right now, Zhao... Generals Zhao and Yang entered the Tang Dao, next to our Song Dao. Marshal Li has already found out the truth and dug a few roads. As long as he When the mechanism is touched, the underground muddy river will flow out from the walls and roofs, and the two generals and their soldiers will no longer be able to escape."

Jin Sai didn't really stutter, but he spoke intermittently all the time, and it took him a lot of effort to finish, and as he spoke, big drops of sweat rolled out of his forehead.

He kept cursing himself as a coward in his heart, afraid of being a coward, but he just couldn't control himself.

Taking advantage of the emperor's silence, Jin Sai raised his head cautiously. This was the first time he had the opportunity to look at the emperor. When he saw the man who was about the same age as Li Qiong and had the same temperament, he frowned. , holding the grass that I don’t know where to pull it, and kept pinching it.

Pinch off a piece and throw it away. After a while, there is only a little tail left in the hand of a piece of grass, and there is no place to cut it off.

Footsteps sounded behind him, Jin Sai quickly lowered his head, Liu Bang looked at Zhong Lei, who stood forward, and listened to his ear:

"Walking a few miles there, it is indeed blocked. I have already asked the people from the Imperial City Department to dig. It's just that the boulder is tightly attached to the wall. I'm afraid it will take more time."

In fact, when Jin Sai came to pass on the message, Liu Bang had already believed it, and asking the people from the Imperial City Department to take a look was just to confirm his thoughts.

That being the case...he asked:
"Tell me about his conditions again, I didn't quite understand just now."

Li Qiong neither surrendered nor resisted. The request he made was to make his own choice, but he didn't say what the consequences would be if he made the choice.

The opportunity on this battlefield cannot be delayed. Li Qiong is unwilling to say it clearly, and Liu Bang is unwilling to bother to guess, but if he can't figure it out, he will regard Li Qiong as delaying time.

Who knows, did that kid go to Kaifeng for help?

When Jin Sai heard the emperor's question, his heart began to churn... To tell the truth, even he himself still doesn't know what idea his marshal came up with.

But he only knew that Li Qiong wouldn't harm him, and it would be fine if he negotiated with Zhao Guan's family this time, maybe it was some kind of art of war learned in the military book, but he was short-sighted and didn't understand what it meant.

"Reporting to the official, the marshal said, if you want to keep the people in the military path alive, then, then..."

'That' didn't come out after several times, but before Liu Bang lost his patience, he finally made up his mind.

"Then please kill the people of Bozhou City."

Not to mention Liu Bang, Guo Yaoshi and Zhong Lei who were on the side were all confused, and the emperor just wanted to ask, Jin Sai opened his mouth, and the words became smoother.

"Xiao Yacha said that you sent 3 soldiers, and there are more than 12 registered civilians in Bozhou City. One soldier returns four civilians. You have to choose."

"If the life of the people in the military path is fixed, then Marshal Li will release the people in the city, and you will kill them all in front of everyone. Then both Zhao and Yang will be able to Out."

"Hiss~~" Liu Bang smacked his lips lightly, "Your marshal, is he a lunatic?"

Jin Sai replied, "It was quite normal before today."

"He wants to kill the people in the city, so he can do it himself? Why, do you have to let me come?"

"Whether I want Lao Tzu to be accused of massacring the city, or that someone here has slept with his wife, he is embarrassed to say, so he thought of such a way, simply killed them all, and even used a borrowed knife to kill them."

Jin Sai was a little speechless: "Official, official, Marshal Li is not yet married."

Liu Bang nodded: "You have known him for a long time, you analyze it for me, what does he mean?"

Although the official Zhao's mouth was a little different from Jin Sai's image of "Lao Tzu", his unassuming appearance also made him relax a little.

After all, he didn't see the golden light and dragon spirit mentioned in the play, and the emperor at this time was almost like an ordinary person.

Jin Sai said sincerely, "I don't know either."

He forgot his identity for a while, and claimed to be a minister, but it attracted the attention of Guo Yaoshi and Zhong Lei.

First, Li Qiong was stalling for time. No matter how he chose, Zhao Mi and the others would all be drowned.

Second, he is serious, and he will do whatever he chooses, but he must have his own intentions in letting himself choose this way.

Thirdly, this man is crazy. The people of Bozhou city regard him as their biological parents and appreciate his kindness of regeneration. How could he want the people of Bozhou to die?
It's not that Liu Bang has never done such things as massacres, but the three times he massacred, either he did it when he was with the anti-Qin army in the early stage, or it was done by his subordinates... He controlled the people under his opponents very loosely, He was so loose that when he met with Han Xin to fight, he was released as a pigeon, which caused him to be almost killed by Xiang Yu later.

But after the founding of the country, this kind of thing has never happened again. After all, people who have their eyes on the world should think more about doing things.

Taking a ten thousand step back, counting Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Chai Wu, Liu Jia and others on his head, plus all the people who slaughtered the city he followed Xiang Liang to attack, there are not as many people in this city of Bozhou .

Speaking of Liu Jia, Liu Bang remembered that this kid seemed to be the father of the city.

10 people must be killed. If they are killed, it will not be good to arouse the resistance of the people everywhere. However, it is impossible to just lose the more than 3 elites trapped in the military path.

Liu Bang was indeed a little embarrassed.

But before he was in trouble for a long time, Jin Sai said in an even more difficult way:

"Officials, the villain can't stay out for too long. Marshal Li only gave him a total of half an hour before. If he can't go back for half an hour, he will treat the villain as being killed by you and put water in the tunnel." inside."

"If you've thought it over, give the villain a word."

Liu Bang bit his lips, and even the stench around Bozhou seemed to subside a lot. Li Qiong... What exactly do you want? !
He couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure out a person he had never even met face to face.

So he could only choose the safest and most confident one... Li Qiong was probably considering how he treated the people. These people were grateful to him and even risked their lives to guard the city for him when he was the father of the city. He will definitely not want the lives of the people.

And he asked himself to choose this way, just to see if he also loved the people like a son... Although there is no reliable clue to this guess, it is also in line with Li Qiong's status as a literati.

Literati, of course, just take it for granted, and regard war as a game-like thing.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the possibility was very high, mainly because Liu Bang couldn't think of any other possibility, so he turned to Jin Saidao:
"People, I love the people like a son, choose the people."

Jin Sai was quite moved, and bowed to the emperor and said:

"The villain replaced the people of Bozhou, and thanked the officials...Then, the villain will leave."

Looking at the back of this person leaving, Liu Bang felt very bad. He didn't know if it was because of what he had left behind, or because of the feeling of being manipulated by others, which made him uncomfortable.
