Cao Sen came all the way to Liu Bang’s camp at this time, and saw that the camp was tightly guarded, and only when he entered the camp gate did Liu Bang welcome him out and said with great concern.
“Brother Cao, you are not seriously hurt, good, last night I heard the enemy attacked the camp, heart extremely worried, but the night but can not rush to the rescue, in case the enemy’s ploy.”
“Luckily, Cao brother, you are fine.”
After properly comforting Cao Shen for a while, Liu Bang then scolded and said.
“These Xiong Nu people are simply thieves! It’s a shame that we tried to persuade them to surrender!”
“Men, order the whole army to attack, this time we must kill all the Xiong Nu people on the spot, to avenge our soldiers!”
Said Liu Bang, he turned around and was about to lead his men towards the outside.
Looking at the general acting like this, the surrounding Qin troops couldn’t help but redden their eyes, this is the good general who is of one heart with his soldiers!
Not to mention that the other party also brought them together to get rich.m.
Seeing that everyone is about to follow all rushing out of the camp, Liu Bang’s footsteps slowed down a little, and in passing, he kicked Fan Kuai next to him.
Fan Kuai, who had just followed some of the head, suddenly came back to his senses and said.
“Big brother! Big brother! I can’t! Second brother! Leung, you guys come out and talk to Big Brother!”
It was at this time that Zhang Liang and Lu Ònght stood out and stopped Liu Bang to persuade him.
“Duke Pei! You mustn’t!”
“Now that the provisions have been burnt, the generals won’t be able to last more than a few days on their own, and then if the Xiong Nu counter-attacks, the army will be in danger.”
“Brother Cao Brother Cao, hurry up and persuade Duke Pei!”
Only then did Cao Shen say, with a complicated look on his face.
“Duke Pei, a few of you are right, now that the army has lost its provisions, it is no longer suitable to continue fighting.”
“We should return with the army to the main camp to raise the provisions before we strike again is the prudent plan.”
Hearing this, Liu Bang said with extreme sadness and indignation.
“But those soldiers died so unexplained?”
Cao Sen glanced at the other party then said.
“Pei Gong doesn’t have to be in a hurry, my Great Qin has never had a soldier die in vain, and will one day avenge the soldiers.”
Liu Bang couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard this, well he quickly reacted and said.
“That’s fine, just listen to you guys, let the soldiers pack up, we are ready to go back to the main camp.”
“Tell the generals that we will definitely avenge this, we do need to be a little patient for a while now.”
Hearing this, the surrounding generals slowly dispersed, and Liu Bang also welcomed Cao Sen into his tent, and only when he entered the tent, Zhang Liang, who was on the side, said.
Hearing this, the surrounding generals slowly dispersed, and Liu Bang also welcomed Cao Sen into his tent, only to enter the tent, Zhang Liang, who was on the side, said.
“Duke Pei, I’m afraid that Brother Cao will be punished this time if he loses the grain and grass.”
Liu Bang’s eyes glazed over as he listened and said.
“Brother Cao has been diligent all along, last night it was the Huns who cunningly attacked the camp, how can this be blamed on Brother Cao?”
Lu Ò on the other side duly revealed a bitter smile and said.
“Although big brother’s words are like that, military law is merciless.”
“Now it’s a critical time to fight with the Xiong Nu, if we really want to pursue this, I’m afraid that Brother Cao’s title…”
Before Lu finished his words, Liu Bang interrupted the other party and said in an extremely solemn manner.
“There is no need to talk about this matter any more, I will bear it all!”
“Even if the titles are to be cut, cut mine!”
Saying this, Liu Bang then looked at Cao Shen, only to see the other party first froze, and then glanced at him, a few tears actually coming out of his eyes, and said.
“Duke Pei’s kindness, I dare not forget it.”
The corners of Liu Bang’s mouth, which revealed a hidden smile, quickly said to.
“Brother Cao doesn’t need to be in a hurry, you’ve also worked hard, go and repair yourself first.”
Cao Sen nodded and was about to leave, when a Qin soldier hurriedly walked in and said.
“General, General Zhou Bo and General Lu have returned with their troops.”
Liu Bang’s complexion changed slightly, and he could not help but look at Cao Shen, and found that the other party also had a puzzled look on his face, before he said.
“It’s good that the two generals are back, hurry up and invite them in.”
Before his words fell, a rush of footsteps came from outside the tent, Zhou Bo and Lu walked in with a serious look on their faces, and when they saw a few people, they asked,
“What happened last night? How did the camp catch fire? It also burned all the grain and grass.”
Looking at the imposing two men, Lu Ò and Zhang Liang both changed their colours slightly, the other party’s murderous aura was too strong.
Liu Bang, however, did not look the slightest bit perverse, but said, with a bit of guilt.
“Last night the Huns attacked the camp, it was me who didn’t look after it and they got it.”
Hearing this, the two men immediately frowned, while Cao Shen on the side, even if he had doubts in his heart, at this time he could not help but feel a trace of gratitude for the other party’s initiative to take the responsibility for himself.
Suppressing his other thoughts, Cao Shen said at this time.
“The two generals are at fault this time.”
Soon Cao Shen made the situation generally clear, Zhou Bo and Lu both looked at each other, Lu was about to say something at this time, when Liu Bang jumped ahead and asked.
“Aren’t the two generals at war with the Xiong Nu? Why have they suddenly returned?”
Lu returned.
“In the early hours of this morning we received a messenger sent by a centurion saying that there was a loss of provisions, so we rushed back.”
“Early this morning we received a messenger sent by a centurion saying that there was a loss of grain and grass, so we rushed back.”
Liu Bang gave a bitter smile at this time and said.
“The two generals came back just in time Now that the army’s rations are gone, our army can only retreat back to the main camp first and wait for the rations to be ready, then we will come back to drive out the Xiong Nu.”
Lu quickly said to.
“How can this work, now is the critical time, once we go back, the Xiongnu are bound to enter the western city-states, and it will be difficult to pursue them again.”
The Qin army’s combat distance is still limited nowadays, the pressure on food and provisions is extremely high, and the soldiers are already tired, so I’m afraid it’s hard to go out of the country to pursue them.
Liu Bang sighed at this time and
“But I’m afraid that the army staying behind will only increase casualties in vain, I still ask the two generals to think more for the generals.”
Zhang Liang, who was at the side, also spoke out and said.
“Two generals, these days our army has also killed quite a few Xiong Nu people, the purpose of weakening the other side has been achieved, it’s time to let the generals rest and recuperate.”
The two of them spoke one word to another, making the pros and cons clear.
Zhou Bo and Lu also could not help but hesitate, Liu Bang saw that the time was ripe and said that
“I know that the two generals are worried about the frontier, in that case, the two of you first just go back to rest and recuperate, and I will take a portion of my soldiers and soldiers and station them here.”
“This time it is my fault, the responsibility will be mine.”
Hearing such earnest words, even if Zhou Bo and Lu had doubts in their hearts, at this point they could only say that the
“Then it will be a hard day’s work General.”
Liu Bang was secretly happy in his heart, but said with extreme sincerity that
“It is you all who have worked hard.”
After both parties confirmed some details, Zhou Bo and Lu left the tent.
When they were far away from Liu Bang’s camp, Lu spoke at this time, saying.
“Brother Zhou, I always feel that something is not right.”
“That centurion who sent the report also said that it shouldn’t be the Huns.”
Although all signs pointed to the Huns attacking the camp, it really wasn’t hard for the Huns either.
But he just didn’t feel right.
Mostly because the timing was too coincidental.
Zhou Bo, however, said blandly.
“Things have come to this point it’s useless to think about it more, Brother Lu you go ahead and prepare the military I’ll come later.”
After saying that, he headed towards the camp where Cao Sen was, just now he saw that the other party looked a bit unnatural.
