Chapter 865: Under the Sky, for the World

A few days later, in a tent in the middle of a frontline camp of the Qin Army.

Liu Bangzheng asked a Qin soldier,

"Where are General Zhou Bo and General Lu?"

The Qin army returned,

"The two generals are currently encircling and suppressing the surrounding Xiongnu tribes in the front to attack the Xiongnu forces."

Liu Bang looked slightly moved and nodded, and quickly asked again,

"Then who is in charge in the camp now?"

"It's General Liang who's in charge, but he went to persuade the Huns to surrender today and hasn't come back yet."

Qin Jun explained the matter clearly, and Liu Bang listened in his heart, but his face twitched involuntarily.

Of course he knew that Zhang Liang was not there to persuade him to surrender. Of course, he would not say it explicitly here. He just waved his hand and said,

"I understand, go ahead and do the work."

Soon the Qin army saluted and left.

After the people left, Lu Wan on the side asked,

"Brother, the camp ahead is easy to control, but what should we do next?"

Although they have a plan, it is still difficult to implement it.

Liu Bang took a look at the tent at this time. There were only three brothers. Cao Shen had not yet fully joined the group and was arranging the supplies they brought.

Only then did he say,

"Don't worry, wait until Zhang Liang comes back. He is better at these things."

"Third brother, you should be more alert when I am talking to Zhang Liang later."

He would never betray Da Qin openly, as that would be courting death.

And it may be difficult for his family to survive.

Fan Kuai chuckled and said,

"Brother, don't worry. As long as I'm here, that kid will never be able to change the world."

Liu Bang nodded. He still believed in the opponent in terms of force. He quickly turned to Lu Wan and said,

"Second brother, if you go and have more contact with Cao Shen, you must keep me under control."

"Only in this way can we gain a foothold in the west."

With the help of these talents, it will not be too difficult to make a career in the west.

Lu Wan returned immediately,

"It's brother, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he walked outside.

At this time, outside the camp, Cao Shen was leading the Qin army and the soldiers and civilians recruited from the grassland to clean up supplies.

"Transport these things to the back of the camp. The army's food is here for the past few days. There must be no problems."

Food is extremely precious on the grassland, and the people of Daqin are not yet able to do the same as the grassland people, drinking horse and goat milk when they are thirsty and eating pure meat when they are hungry.

If your stomach can't bear it, you have to get some food shipped from Daqin to survive.

Fortunately, some places on the grassland are now planning to plant potatoes, and the situation will ease a lot in the future.

If something goes wrong with the food, then most of the more than 10,000 Qin cavalry will have to be withdrawn within a few days, and they will wait for supplies before setting off.

After all, what we are fighting now is not a surprise war but a war of attrition.

Before the troops and horses move, food and grass go first. This is the principle.

Fortunately, there won't be any problems if there are few people.

Just as he was arranging his men, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance.

The marching style doesn't look like the Qin army's cavalry.

Cao Shen couldn't help but frown and said,

"Come with a team of people and come with me to see who it is. Why don't the spies around me report back?"

He was not worried about being raided, as such a small number of people would not pose any threat, but he was worried that the military discipline of the Qin army had been reduced to this point?

After saying that, he got on his horse and led a small group of Qin troops to surround him.

When I got closer, I realized that these people were more like a caravan, and they were not Huns, let alone Qin people.

Seeing them gathering around, the leader quickly said,

"Honorable General of the Qin people, we are the people of the Qin Dynasty from the westernmost city of the Qin Dynasty. On the order of the city lord, we come to present gifts to the army as a token of our gratitude."

Hearing this, Cao Shen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. These people are actually the subjects of Great Qin?

But how is this possible?

Even if he didn't know Bowen Qiang, he still knew that these people could never be from Qin.

Fortunately, the leader soon explained the reason clearly.

"Although we have just joined Great Qin, our loyalty to Great Qin is definitely the most loyal."

After the leader finished speaking, he showed a bright smile to express his submission.

This is also what their new city lord told them, and they must not anger the Qin people under any circumstances.

The general in front of him was dressed luxuriously, and it was obvious that he must have a high status to command other people.

Listening to the other party's fluent Daqin words, Cao Shen couldn't help but show a strange expression.

This was the first time he heard surrender spoken so confidently and impassionedly.

Of course, this is not a bad thing, but something worth bragging about. This young city lord is quite a talent.

Thinking of this, Cao Shen's heart moved and he said,

"I understand, I will convey your thoughts to His Highness the Crown Prince of Da Qin, and ask your city lord to remember my name. From now on, he will be His Highness the Crown Prince's."

But confusion flashed across the leader's eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who is His Royal Highness?"

Cao Shen was a little dumbfounded at this time, and then said,

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the master of the entire world!"

The leader nodded confusedly, and then asked again,

"What is the world? How big is it?"

Cao Shen laughed this time, pointed to the sky and said,

"Under the sky is the world!"

Before Cao Shen finished speaking, the leader took a step back in shock. In such a world, they had chosen a good master for their achievements.

At this time, the leader knelt down and said sincerely,

"On behalf of my master, I offer our gifts and devotion to His Royal Highness."

Cao Shen was also rare. He nodded with a bit of arrogance and returned.

"I understand, but you must remember to tell your city lord that only he knows about this when you go back."

"Because he needs to undergo some tests."

The leader nodded without any hesitation. When a hunter chooses his dog, he must also look at the dog's ability.

Soon the leader left the gift and turned to leave.

When Cao Shen was about to ask his men to return to the camp with the supplies left by the other party, Lu Wan hurried over and asked curiously,

"Who were those just now?"

Cao Shen replied with a smile without any panic,

"A small tribe came over to show their goodwill."

Lu Wan nodded casually. He didn't care about those small tribes. He directly pulled up the set meal and said with a smile,

"Brother Cao, you've worked hard these days. Come on, come on, I'll have a drink later."

This time, Cao Shen agreed without any hesitation, and laughed while walking with the other party,

"These are all matters within our scope. "

"By the way, why didn't you see Brother Liang?"

Lu Wan replied,

"Brother Liang is trying to persuade the Huns to surrender. When he comes back, we will drink together."

"Okay, okay..."

Cao Shen smiled and replied that no matter what arrangements the other party had, he would agree to it. Anyway, everything was under the arrangement of His Highness the Crown Prince.

At this time, in the Xiongnu camp, Li looked at Zhang Liang in front of him and said coldly,

"The Qin army is hunting down the people of this Shanyu outside, but your master wants to cooperate with this Shanyu?"
