Liu Bang looked at the subordinates in front of him and felt extremely tired.
He received a message from a merchant who traded with Great Qin.
Great Qin’s army is gathering, and I’m afraid it will come to attack the Western Region soon.
He knew it must be that these subordinates of his had broken into some goods and provoked the Qin army.
Sure enough, Fan Kuai quickly said.
“Big brother, those Qin people are too arrogant, they are even more arrogant than us in our territory!”
“Last time, a small city lord merely hanged a few servants, and that Qin merchant fleet rushed straight over to exterminate the entire city lord’s mansion! ”
“How can this be tolerated!”
“If we don’t slaughter them, how will you convince the public, big brother?!”
Hearing these words, Liu Bang also couldn’t help but sigh, of course he knew about this situation, the
Now those Qin people are indeed a little bit looking for trouble, but whenever they see something that doesn’t fit their hearts, they have to follow the laws of Great Qin.
He can’t really say anything nominally, who let him still bear the name of the Qin army in the first place.
Now, the other side is going to directly hit over.
At this point, there is no room for manoeuvre, Liu Bang can only ask.
“Things have come to this point, it’s useless to say anything, do you have any countermeasures? ”
Fan Kuai huffed and puffed back.
“What is big brother afraid of him for? Let’s fight with the Qin army! We have 100,000 men, but the Qin army is only 20,000 men. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bang immediately said in a bad mood, and
“It’s good that we have 100,000 men, but it’s not like you’re not aware of the 20,000 men of the Qin army,, all of them are the most elite border cavalry, so how can we beat them? ”
For these troops under his command, Liu Bang still has a number in his heart.
In this part of the western region, of course, they are invincible.
But compared to the Qin army, they are totally inadequate.
Just as he was getting angry, Zhang Liang spoke up and said.
“Actually, it’s not necessarily impossible to defeat. ”
Hearing this, Liu Bang’s eyes immediately lit up and said.
“Brother Ah Liang, what countermeasures do you have? ” “Brother Ah Liang, what countermeasures do you have? ”
Zhang Liang quickly said at this time.
“The Qin army has 20,000 elite soldiers, the cavalry is good and extremely strong in battle, but these people are not good at attacking cities. ”
“As long as we concentrate our superior manpower and defend the city, as long as we can hold out for two months, the Qin army will definitely not be able to afford it and will naturally retreat. ”
“And Pei Gong can still remember, the Qin army bought a lot of those called oil, we can be quite a lot in our hands, this is a good tool to defend the city ah.”
Hearing this, Liu Bang then revealed a smile that
“It’s still A Liang that you see far!”
“Good, I’ll leave the defence to you this time, Fan Kuai will also help you.”
“Senator Cao, you’ll be in charge of the internal maintenance, lest anyone take the opportunity to cause trouble. ”
After the last time, he still trusts Zhang Liang extremely, and in these two years, it was also with the help of the other party that he pacified the entire western region, which led to the current situation.
And just in case, he also let Fan Kuai follow the other party.
There shouldn’t be any problems.
Zhang Liang was extremely submissive at this time and led the order.
Cao Shen was the same at this time, only that he gave Zhang Liang a slightly puzzled look.
This was because the other party was acting too calmly, as if he had already expected that there would be such a day.
Soon after several people discussed for a while, they each received orders to leave to set up.
Cao Shen hesitated for a while, but still followed Zhang Liang, the
“Brother Liang please stay. ”
Zhang Liang turned around and saw Cao Sen, he immediately laughed and said.
“Is there something wrong with Brother Cao?”
He still had a good relationship with the other party over the past two years, and the other party was extremely talented, a dependable manpower.
Cao Sen hesitated for a moment, then said.
“The warrior this time, in my opinion, I’m afraid it’s not that simple. ”
“The Qin army must have something to rely on, and that Han Xin is no ordinary man. ”
“I’m afraid this battle won’t be too easy, so don’t take the enemy lightly, Brother Liang. ”
Hearing these words, Zhang Liang couldn’t help but have his eyes light up, hearing these words, Zhang Liang couldn’t help but have his eyes light up, hearing these words, Zhang Liang couldn’t help but have his eyes light up.
The other party’s thoughts were actually the same as his, looking around, seeing that no one was following them, the
Zhang Liang then pulled Cao Sen aside and said.
“Brother Cao, can I trust you? ”
Cao Sen’s heart was moved, but his face was full of solemnity and said.
“Brother Liang, we have worked together for a long time, what else can’t we trust? ”
Zhang Liang then nodded and said.
“In fact, according to my opinion, this battle is bound to be lost. ”
Cao Shen was shocked to hear that
“Brother Liang, you feel this way, then why did you tell Pei Gong that…”
Not waiting for him to finish his sentence, Zhang Liang stopped the other and said.
“Because Pei Gong is bound to not give up on this place. ”
Back in the beginning, he knew that the Qin army never wanted to give up the Western Regions, it was just that they didn’t have the national strength to support their annexation of the Western Regions in the beginning.
Now since the Qin army dared to launch an attack, then that meant that the other side had already prepared for everything.
It is a fool’s errand to think that the Qin army can fight with these people in the Western Region.
While he had helped Liu Bang stabilise the Western Region in the past two years, he had also prepared the cities further west for the withdrawal of supplies.
The reason why he didn’t tell Liu Bang is that he knows that the other party can’t afford to give up his position until the critical time.
He could only do so much to help the other party.
When the time comes, the other party will thank him.
Listening to Zhang Liang’s words, Cao Shen was naturally surprised in his heart at this time, he didn’t expect the other party to actually be prepared.
Zhang Liang continued at this time and said.
“Now to has reached a critical time, there are some things that I still want to ask Brother Cao for help. ”
He had to take care of the battle in front of him, he could not use his mind for two purposes, and he indeed needed manpower.
Cao Shen naturally said that
“I will definitely do my best. ”
Zhang Liang immediately went to hand over some non-core matters to the other party. Zhang Liang instantly went to hand over some non-core things to the other party.
It was true that he was also a bit tired on his own.
Soon the two of them separated, each going about their business.
Cao Shen went all the way back to his place at this time, and then called for the young prince, the
“I have some things to give you, you have those Qin troops we saved earlier do it. ”
Cao Shen quickly said something to the little prince, after the little prince heard it, he looked at the other party with slight surprise, and then returned in, in the Great Qin language, which he had already become quite proficient in, to.
“Yes, General. ”
There were now more and more people in the entire Western Region who had begun to learn and speak the Great Qin language, so he was making rapid progress.
Only after the young prince had left did Cao Shen frown and say to himself.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, what exactly do you want me to do this time? ”
Soon time passed by, and a few days later, the entire Western Region was tense and
Because everyone got the news that
Qin army had started to attack the Western Region!
At this moment, Zhang Liang stood on the city wall and looked out in the direction where the Qin army was.
Within a short time, a scout brought back news, and Zhang Liang hurriedly asked that
“How many men does the Qin army have? ”
Although he felt that the Qin army would definitely be able to take down the Western Region, he also had to make the other party pay a corresponding price!
So it was necessary to understand the other side as much as possible.
The scouts quickly returned.
“General, the Qin army doesn’t have many men, according to the number of flags and tents, it should be around 20,000 men. ”
Zhang Liang immediately frowned slightly and
“Twenty thousand people? All of them are here? ”
He had thought that the Qin army would split up for a sneak attack, but since the other side dared to fight him hard, he was going to let these people die and get hurt!
