Chapter 599: This War Should End

Liu Bang still regretted a little. In order to have a backup plan, he put Zhang Liang on the ground.

Fan Kuai has fallen into the trap of wine and meat.

Lu Wan is not good at planning, and now he is trapped by Zhao Lang with the position of county magistrate, but there is not even anyone around him who can come up with ideas.

He has led tens of thousands of people, but now the county magistrate is unable to satisfy his aspirations.

Liu Bang couldn't help but lamented in his heart,

"Hey, can it be that I, Liu Bang, can only be a county magistrate in this life?"

Thinking of this, Liu Bang couldn't help but said,

"Fan Kuai, send a message to Lu Wan and ask him to contact Zhang Liang and ask him to come to Xianyang!"

He must plan ahead!

Pengcheng.

It was already more than ten days after the war.

There were finally more people on the streets, but the Qin troops constantly patrolling the streets and the mottled traces of battles made it known that there had just been a war here.

A ragged beggar was standing blankly in front of the city gate, looking at the Qin army around him, and murmured to himself,

"How come there are all Qin troops here?"

"Where are the Chu troops?"

The beggar was Wei Yi. After escaping from the battlefield in Liaodong, he came all the way from Liaodong and should have arrived long ago.

But who knew that he would be robbed by robbers on the way.

Everything was gone, but he didn't give up!

Because he knew in his heart that as long as he got to Chu land, based on his previous relationship with the Xiang family.

There will definitely be a good position.

There was hope in his heart, so he did not collapse, but when he arrived in Pengcheng after going through all kinds of hardships.

But they found that this place was already full of Qin troops!

At this time, the Qin army at the city gate had noticed him, walked over and said,

"Where are you from?"

Being questioned suddenly, the beggar's heart tightened and he was speechless for a moment.

He didn't dare to reveal his identity, otherwise he would be dead!

Seeing the beggar's appearance, Qin Jun frowned, but did not pursue it too closely.

The refugees today have suffered a lot, so this reaction is normal. He just continued,

"If you are hungry, go to the west of the city. The city wall there needs to be repaired. There are wages and food."

"You just need to go there to wash yourself before entering the city."

"Disinfect...well, you can only enter the city after disinfection."

"When you have some money, you can choose to continue working or be resettled locally, or return to your hometown to farm. It's up to you."

The Qin army began to deal with the refugees in front of them in accordance with the regulations issued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not long ago.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand this disinfection thing.

There are inevitably some pauses.

But after he finished speaking, the beggar in front of him still showed no reaction at all.

Qin Jun didn't have much patience at this time. He was just a small soldier.

We have to deal with similar things every day, how can we spend time on one person?

He immediately said,

"Don't stay in the city gate land for long!"

"that whoever,"

Qin Jun waved to the workers responsible for cleaning and disinfecting the refugees on the edge of the city wall, and then said,

"Take the person over, clean him, and then put him in the west of the city and give him food for two people."

"Bring him to his senses!"

Soon, someone came over and took the beggar to the side.

Without any courtesy, a bucket of water was thrown over.

"ah!"

Only after being showered with a bucket of water did Wei Yi come back to his senses.

Thinking back to what Qin Jun had just said to him, he was a little confused for a moment.

He had just been prepared to be beaten.

Because the soldiers in the world, whether Qin or Chu, are like this.

It was only because he was standing in the wrong place.

But why did the other party say those words to him?

Only then did he realize that there seemed to be no refugees or beggars around the entire city.

Even if there are sporadic ones, the Qin army will soon step forward to make arrangements.

Soon, the dirt on his body was simply cleaned away. The person who rinsed him said at this time,

"Stop being stunned, come with me!"

After saying that, he took him all the way into Pengcheng and said as he walked,

"When we get to the west of the city, I'll let you drink two bowls of porridge first to give you a break."

"You refugees are lucky now. In these days, working is not only about food, but also about wages."

"To be honest, His Highness the Crown Prince of Great Qin, Ren De, is the leader of our farmers after all."

Wei Yi listened to what the other party said and walked all the way into the city.

It was discovered that there were still some traces of fighting in the city.

But generally everything has been sorted out.

The entire city was filled with an energy he had never seen before.

Soon, they arrived at the west of the city. At this time, the man said to a young man,

"A-Liang, this man is a refugee who just came in. Don't arrange work yet. Give him two bowls of porridge to slow down."

The young man nodded and replied,

"Don't worry, I won't treat them badly."

The man knew A Liang's temperament and said with a smile,

"A-Liang, everyone knows your talent for arranging things."

"It's time to join the army to gain a better career."

Hearing this, the young man just smiled.

The man didn't say much, he had to go back and prepare his own affairs.

After the other party left, the young man said to the refugee in front of him,

"You take a rest first. I'll ask you to bring some food and a piece of clean clothes."

"You'll be working here after that, and you'll do well..."

Before the young man finished speaking, he saw the refugee suddenly rushing toward him and shouting excitedly,

"Zhang Liang! You are Zhang...uh!"

When he heard the other party calling out his name, the young man's eyes shrank suddenly, and then he leaned forward and covered the other party's mouth, forcing him to ask,

"Who are you!? How do you know me!"

Zhang Liang is extremely shocked now!

He was left behind by Liu Bang and wanted to secretly prepare manpower while the Qin and Chu armies were confronting each other.

But who knew that the Qin army would capture the Chu army so quickly!

But as soon as he turned around, he became the leader of Pengcheng in repairing the city wall.

In this way, you can not only get information, but also recruit people.

But now, a refugee actually called out his name!

Just as he was thinking about whether to kill the other party directly, since he had plenty of ways to deal with it anyway, he heard the other party struggling and saying,

"Zhang Liang! It's me! Wei Yi!"

Wei Yi! ?

Of course Zhang Liang remembered it. He let go of his hand and took a closer look. Although the other person was quite haggard, he could still recognize that it was indeed him.

"Wei Yi, how did you become like this and why are you here?"

Zhang Liang remembered that the other party was not a minister of Goguryeo?

Although Goguryeo was a small country, it was not like this.

After hearing the question, Wei Yi couldn't help feeling sad and cried,

"Zhang Liang! The leader of Goguryeo is gone!"

At this time, Wei Yi told Zhang Liang one by one about the war in Liaodong.

"I heard someone from the Goguryeo caravan say not long ago that Goguryeo is now controlled by the Qin army!"

After listening, Zhang Liang fell silent for a moment.

Of course he knew about Zhao Lang's trip to Goguryeo.

But they only thought that the other party had defeated Goguryeo.

But I didn't expect that the other party actually did this!

When the other party set out, they didn't have many troops!

Wei Yi quickly said at this time,

"Zhang Liang, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. We'd better go and join the Xiang family as soon as possible!"

Now that he has met Zhang Liang, he can definitely go to Xiang.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang slowly shook his head and said,

"Xiang is finished."

With that said, Zhang Liang explained Pengcheng's situation clearly one by one.

After Wei Yi heard this, he was stunned, hesitated, and said,

"Don't the Xiang clan still have so much territory? They should still be able to fight against the Qin army."

"I haven't come yet, why can't Mrs. Xiang do it?"

Zhang Liang sighed at this time. He was here, so he naturally knew how sharp the Qin army's arrangement was!

Just look at Pengcheng, after the war, there are not many hungry people and refugees. This is an extremely remarkable thing.

When he recruited his own men, except for the Chu people who, like him, had a bloody feud with the Qin army, almost everyone else accepted the placement of the Qin army.

After all, not everyone is tempted by these things.

The Qin army left a lot of blood debt in Chu land!

But now, Confucianism controls Confucian scholars to spread the word. After the defeat, Xiang Yu has been charged with regicide.

Farmers control the lower-level farmers and powerful landlords, and they are also suppressed by several families.

He knew that even Xiang still had some reserve power.

We can only linger on, with no possibility of turning over.

Because at this time, he could barely see how advanced Zhao Lang's arrangement was!

Now, all the arrangements were connected into a net, tightly trapping the Xiang family.

Zhang Liang quickly collected his thoughts and said,

"However, you are right, this is no longer a place to stay for a long time."

"Brother Wei Yi, if you are willing, come with us."

Wei Yi asked,

"Where to go?"

Zhang Liang looked in the direction of Xianyang at this time and replied,

"Go to Xianyang!"

"I will meet up with Pei Gong and then decide on the way to go."

Wei Yi hesitated for a moment, but he had no other choice and could only say,

"That's fine."

Zhang Liang nodded immediately and was about to say something when suddenly a group of Qin troops came out of the street and formed a line of protection.

Qin Jun said to the workers around him,

"Escape quickly."

Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly, and he led Wei Yi directly into his simple tent.

Soon, an extremely handsome young man appeared in front of everyone,

"Brother Lang, why are you patrolling the city by yourself now that you have nothing to do? Just let your men do it."

Hu Hai looked at the messy surroundings and said with some disgust.

Zhao Lang didn't know what he was thinking at this time, he was a little careless. When he heard Hu Hai's words, he just said casually,

"You're right, you can patrol for me from now on."

Hu Hai was stunned for a moment and replied,

"Brother Lang! I..."

Ignoring Hu Hai, Zhao Lang asked the slave beside him,

"How is the situation ahead? Is there any news about Xiang Yu?"

After the great victory in Pengcheng, Meng Yi finally understood that no matter what, he could not defeat Zhao Lang.

So he went even further and simply stopped him from going to the front line and asked him to adjust the internal affairs of Chu Territory.

Naturally, he lost it to Chen Ping and Xiao He.

It's just that the Xiang family has been in Wuzhong in Chu for a long time, so I'm afraid it won't be so easy to win.

We must find a way.

The slave thought about the information coming from the spider web and the lowly people in the past few days, and replied,

"Master, Xiang's army is now retreating to Wuzhong. Meng Shangqing and General Han are pursuing them. Everything is going well."

"Xiang Yu also has news and is recruiting sergeants again."

"only..."

Zhao Lang glanced at Nu and asked,

"Just what?"

The slave replied,

"It's just that Xiang Yu's temperament seems to have changed a lot."

Zhao Lang frowned slightly and didn't pay too much attention. It was already very good that the other party survived the explosion.

After giving other instructions, Zhao Lang said,

"Okay, let's go back to the camp first."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After Zhao Lang's team left, Zhang Liang came out of the darkness, looked at the opponent's back, and said,

"Wei Yi, let's leave here early tomorrow morning and go find Pei Gong!"

Wei Yi nodded naturally.

Not long after, Zhao Lang had returned to his camp.

Just when I came back, a figure had already walked over very attentively.

"Brother Zhao, you've had a hard time patrolling the city today. Come on, come on, I've already asked people to prepare wine and food."

The visitor was naturally Xiang Bo.

Seeing the other party's fawning look, Zhao Lang suddenly felt something in his heart and said with a smile,

"Brother Xiang, there is no need to be so unconventional. Once the war here is over, we will return to Xianyang. Brother Xiang has made great contributions, so he must have a throne."

Hearing this, Xiang Bo burst into tears and said,

"Brother Zhao is so benevolent and virtuous, how can I, Uncle Xiang, be so virtuous!"

"I will serve Brother Zhao to the death in this life!"

Seeing Uncle Xiang taking the opportunity to show his loyalty, Zhao Langcai said,

"Brother Xiang deserves this. Come and I'll toast you, but... well, don't say it."

When Uncle Xiang heard this, how could he let it go? He kept asking,

"Brother Zhao, what are you worrying about?"

Zhao Lang forced out a smile and said,

"Nothing, nothing."

Xiang Bo put down the wine glass directly, looked solemn, and said,

"Brother Zhao doesn't treat me as a brother!"

"If you don't tell me, I won't drink this wine!"

Zhao Lang sighed again and said,

"That's all, since Brother Xiang asked, I can only speak bluntly."

"Now the two armies are fighting again. There are many heroes in Wuzhong. I'm afraid both sides will suffer heavy casualties."

"Whether it's for myself or for the sake of Brother Xiang's clan, I can't bear it."

"Well, it would be best if someone could persuade me to reduce the casualties."

Hearing this, Xiang Bo was slightly startled, then he patted his chest and said,

"Brother Zhao, why have you forgotten me! I can't persuade Yu'er, I already feel guilty."

"I won't let this opportunity pass me by!"

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, leave this matter to me! I will go and persuade that boy Xiangzhuang to surrender."

After saying that, he ran towards his tent.

Looking at Xiang Bo's leaving figure, Hu Hai clicked his tongue twice and said with great admiration,

"Brother Lang, you are so powerful. You pretended to give him a throne, and with just a few words, you tricked a core member of the Xiang family into speaking for us."

"With him, Xiang's command power will be reduced by at least half!"

Zhao Lang said calmly at this time,

"I didn't lie to him."

"As long as he keeps the covenant between me and his brother, then he is my brother."

"I will also give him the throne."

Hearing this, Hu Hai couldn't hold himself any longer. He hugged Zhao Lang's thigh and howled,

"Brother Lang, I am your biological brother!"

Zhao Lang finally pulled him away, then breathed out slowly and looked in the direction of Wuzhong.

Now, all the conditions are met.

This war must be over.
