Chapter 862 The Sky Is High and the Emperor Is Far Away
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Liu Bang frozen in place, Lu Wan on the side realized something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to ask.
Liu Bang handed the secret letter directly to the other party at this time, almost lamenting,
"Disaster is near!"
At this time, Fan Kuai quickly came over and read the letter with Lu Wan.
Liu Bang sat down with a bit of dejection and said,
"What should I do?"
Fan Kuai also finished reading the letter at this time, his eyes widened and he said,
"Then His Highness the Crown Prince was really deceived by Zhang Liang's son? Brother, why don't you kill Zhang Liang and apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Liu Bang said with a bit of irritation at this time,
"I am not guilty! This matter is no longer a matter of whether I have rebelled or not."
"Oh, Zhang Hao's vicious plan!"
Because of his previous greed for profit, he has been tied to Zhang Liang!
By this time it was too late to escape.
Fan Kuai frowned and said,
"It won't work this way, that won't work either, let's just stop doing the same thing and just rebel with the brothers who are willing to follow us!"
"Third brother, be careful what you say!"
Lu Wan said quickly at this time, then walked to the tent entrance and took a look outside.
After confirming that no one was around, he turned back to Fan Kuai and said,
"You are trying to kill us!"
Fan Kuai immediately hummed and stopped talking.
Lu Wan looked at Liu Bei and said,
"Brother, don't worry. I see that this letter only says that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been to the house and is close to Liu Ying's nephew. There is nothing else out of the ordinary. Could it be that you are overly worried?"
Liu Bang shook his head with great certainty and returned,
"Second brother, think about it, my family is not new to Xianyang. Has His Highness the Crown Prince ever been so interested in me before?"
"My child is not a peerless talent. How can he bear such high regard?"
"So there must be something wrong with it!"
"Look at the fate of the Huns now!"
Hearing this, Lu Wan was stunned.
The sudden split and surrender of the Xiongnu royal court took everyone by surprise, and there are countless versions of the stories that have been circulated.
Some said that Mao Dun’s wife killed him and that he himself died on the spot.
Some say that the three princes collectively murdered Maodun, and then they split due to uneven distribution of the spoils.
Others say that the second and third princes suddenly acted because they admired Da Qin.
But no matter what, the result was that Da Qin really surrendered to the Xiongnu without spending a single soldier.
Such achievements are unparalleled in the world!
His Highness the Crown Prince of Da Qin's reputation for being extremely resourceful also resounded throughout the entire group.
In addition, Liu Bang couldn't help but think about those strange feelings before.
After a while, Lu Wan came back to her senses and whispered,
"In that case, the only way we can go is to rebel and break away from the Qin Dynasty."
But Liu Bang showed a wry smile and said,
"Rebellion? What do we use to rebel? What do we have in the territory of Sergeant Qian Liang?"
"Even when it comes to strategy, who among us can compare to that one?"
Several people suddenly fell silent. Indeed, it is no longer the time for the Six Nations to rebel. The world is in chaos and the heroes can take advantage of the situation to rise up.
Today's Great Qin is stable, and they have long since run out of chances.
Fan Kuai became more and more irritable at this time.
"If you ask me, it's all Zhang Liang's fault. If he hadn't nudged us here, we would have gone back to Xianyang to receive rewards and enjoy the blessings like everyone else. The less we deserve, the less we deserve."
"Brother, just let me kill Zhang Liang."
Lu Wan frowned and stopped the other party.
"Third brother, please stop saying a few words."
Then he said to Liu Bang, Gu Tan
"Brother, you tell us what to do, and we all listen to you."
Liu Bang frowned and pondered for a while, then slowly said,
"Now that the matter has come to this, we can only go out."
Lu Wan replied,
"Brother, do you mean we still have to do the opposite?"
Liu Bang shook his head at this time and said,
"I won't fight back, but I won't reply either."
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment and asked,
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Liu Bang narrowed his eyes slightly and said,
"Now that the Huns are retreating westward, there will definitely be no peace along the way."
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has given orders, let us take control of these city-states in the west and weaken the Huns as much as possible."
"We are already doing things, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. These city-states are actually in our hands."
"As long as some city-states rise up to resist the Qin army, then this is our chance."
Xianyang's original intention was to control these city-states and move their people to enrich the grasslands.
When they carried out the execution, they did not invite the other party gently. They hit those who deserved and killed those who deserved.
After all, who would be willing to follow you and leave their hometown with just a few words from you?
Now it is not difficult at all to make the other party resist the Qin army.
Once there is a war in the west, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.
And he himself is best at fishing in troubled waters.
After hearing Liu Bang's plan, Fan Kuai on the side said loudly,
"It's not bad for my eldest brother to be like this. It's also good to be the king and hegemon among these city-states."
As long as he has wine, meat and women, it doesn't matter where he goes.
Lu Wan also said with some surprise,
"Brother, I didn't expect you to have such a plan."
As for the children of Liu Bang's family, since they were not mentioned, the other party's attitude was very clear last time.
But Liu Bang shook his head slightly at this time and said,
"These plans were not thought up by me, but by Cao Shen, who had different countermeasures before."
He just made a decision based on one of the countermeasures.
"Cao Shen? I didn't expect that he would be so talented despite not showing much talent on weekdays."
Lu Wan said with some seriousness,
"Brother, if you just listen to me and other brothers, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve great things. This Cao Shen is also a person who knows the basics, so why not bring him along?"
Cao Shen was also the one who started the rebellion with them in Pei County, but there were Han Xin, Xiao He and others at that time, so no one noticed him.
But now the situation is different, and they don't have many choices.
Liu Bang also nodded and said,
"Okay, I'm going to see what he means."
"Also, get ready, we have to go to the front too."
Anyway, the Qin army camp cannot be kept.
After saying that, he quickly left the tent and headed in the direction of Cao Shen.
At this time, in a tent, Cao Shen was looking at a letter in his hand with a puzzled face.
"Why did His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly send me a secret message?"
"You also told me to obey whatever orders Pei Gong gives, and not to let the other party know."
He didn't resist this order, but he felt that Liu Bang was the highest commander in the camp now. Unless his orders were treasonous, of course he had to obey them. Why bother to send this secret message?
Without thinking much, Cao Shen put away the letter and prepared a document.
He wanted to advise Liu Bang on his ongoing slave business. Although many of the benefits were given to ordinary sergeants, this was not good after all.
He and Zhou Bo also did not participate.
At this moment, Liu Bang's hearty laughter suddenly came from outside,
"Is Brother Cao here?"
