Chapter 866: On Shamelessness
Facing Li's question, Zhang Liang didn't panic at all at this time, and even replied with a smile,
"Chanyu, the one who killed you was the Qin army, and the one who cooperated with you was my master, but the two are different."
"And the more this is the case, the more it means that it is necessary for you to cooperate with my master."
"With Shan Yu's strength, we worked together to carve up the cities in the west. Going west, I heard from many caravans that there is an extremely vast and fertile land there."
"After a few more years of rest and recuperation, I will definitely be able to regain my strength."
"Don't you want to take back the royal court?"
Hearing this, Li couldn't help but sneered and said,
"The current strength of the Qin army is better than yours."
"If your master is really sincere in cooperating, then let the Qin army withdraw and let our army leave safely. We will then discuss the issue of allocating the territory in the west."
He knew very well how many people had died in the entire Xiongnu tribe, and almost half of the young men were missing.
He had already sent a letter to his uncle, but for some reason it never came. He could only make more preparations for the news of the Qin army's retreat.
As long as the Qin army is allowed to retreat, he can leave here with his tribe.
Seeing that the other party did not let go at all, Zhang Liang frowned slightly, but quickly said with a smile,
"Okay, then as Shan Yu said, in order to show my master's sincerity, we will let the Qin army retreat."
Li nodded and said,
"Hurry, it's already early summer, and the road to the west is not peaceful. This Shanyu wants to take his people and settle down before winter."
The Huns were not good at fighting in winter.
Zhang Liang said with a smile at this time,
"Please Shanyu wait for my good news."
Then he turned around and left here.
After the other party left, Zuo Xian Wangcai, who had been beside him, frowned and asked,
"Chanyu, is this person reliable?"
Li returned calmly,
"This guy is too smart to be reliable."
"It's just that we each get what we need."
Of course he knew that the other party wanted to use the Xiongnu's military power, and he also needed the other party's influence in the Qin army to make the Qin army retreat.
King Zuo Xian nodded clearly at this time and said with some emotion,
"If only this man had come earlier, we wouldn't have had to die so many people before."
In the previous period, they suffered a lot of losses in the battle with the Qin army.
At this time, Li's expression flickered, he glanced at King Zuo Xian, and said calmly,
"It's not good to come too early. We need some enemies."
When he first came out with his people, although many tribes defected to him, they actually had their own agendas. If he hadn't killed a noble at that time, he might not have been able to suppress the others.
Later, his prestige and qualifications were insufficient, but with the Qin army outside, everyone could only unite as one.
Now that so much time has passed, he has established his prestige step by step.
As for why he told King Zuo Xian so obviously, he wanted to completely conquer the other party.
Upon hearing this, King Zuo Xian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up instantly and he said,
"Chanyu, I understand! Your wisdom is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea..."
Lidu couldn't help but show a helpless expression. The other person seemed to only have these two words to praise others. How did his father tolerate the other person in the first place.
Shaking his head slightly, he quickly asked,
"What happened to the thing you were asked to investigate before?"
Upon hearing the question, King Zuo Xian quickly returned with a solemn look on his face.
"Chanyu, we all left in a hurry that night, but no one brought out the Tianlei that Maodun Shanyu had obtained from the Qin army before. Only some craftsmen were with us when we retreated."
"But some of the materials, I heard from Modun Chanyu, included charcoal and sulfur, but I don't know about the others."
Li nodded regretfully. Of course he remembered his uncle's thunder. If he could get that thing, their subsequent battles would be much easier.
But now I can only wave my hands and say,
"Let the craftsmen make some on their own. Whether it works or not, just give it a try." Gu Guan
King Zuo Xian immediately took the order and left.
After everyone had gone out, Licai sighed, looked in the direction of Qin Jun and murmured,
"I have to leave early."
In the evening, in the Qin army camp, Lu Wan was taking Cao Shen to drink.
"Come on, Brother Cao, have another drink. You and the eldest brother are brothers, and naturally you and I are brothers."
"From now on, we share the same joys and sorrows."
Lu Wan smiled and said what Liu Bang taught him.
In terms of making friends, they are far inferior to their elder brother.
Cao Shen's face was red from drinking at this time, but his eyes were clear. When he heard the other party's words, he immediately returned,
"What Brother Lu said is that from now on, we will share hardships and wealth together."
Just as the two of them were having a gong, a Qin soldier came in from the outside and reported,
"General Lu, General Liu summons you."
Lu Wan's expression moved slightly, and she glanced at Cao Jian, who already looked drunk, but when she said,
"Brother Cao, please go to bed early. The eldest brother should be looking for me if he has something to do, so he should take the first step."
Cao Shen said at this time,
"Hey, I just had a good time. Brother Lu, come and have two more drinks."
However, when Lu Wan saw the other party shouting twice, she immediately lay down on the table.
He immediately said to Qin Jun on the side,
"Take care of General Cao."
After saying that, he left here.
After Lu Wan left and Qin Jun put Cao Shen on the bed and left, Cao Shen opened his eyes and thought for a while.
He actually felt that something was wrong more and more now, but with His Highness the Crown Prince's order, he could only obey it.
At this time, Lu Wan had already arrived at Liu Bang's camp. After passing through the tightly guarded perimeter and entering the tent, she heard Liu Bang say,
"Zhang Liang, how come you agreed to that kid and actually asked the Qin army to retreat directly?"
"Although I make the decision now, in terms of military affairs, even if Zhou Bo listens to my arrangements, Lu will not listen to my arrangements."
He did not expect that Zhang Liang would actually agree to such conditions after going out this time.
He felt that Lu was guarding against him.
Zhang Liang looked calm at this time and showed no sign of being anxious. He did not answer Liu Bang's question directly, but asked,
"Pei Gong, I heard that you are now recruiting Cao Shen. Is there any reason for this?"
Liu Bang looked at the other party angrily and said,
"Your information is quite good. Yes, Cao Shen has a great talent, which will be good for us in the future."
"Also, quickly remove your people from my side. If you are suddenly discovered by me, I will not show mercy."
He knew who the other party placed beside him last time, but he didn't expect that they hadn't withdrawn yet.
Zhang Liang smiled at this time and said,
"I have an idea that will allow the Qin army to withdraw while preventing Cao Shen from going back on his word."
Liu Bang asked quickly,
"What's the idea?"
Zhang Liang then continued,
"Burning the grain and grass you brought over, the Qin army will naturally retreat, and Cao Shen, who is responsible for guarding the grain and grass, will be stained."
Liu Bang's eyes lit up after hearing this and he said,
"A Liang, you are indeed a great talent! Just as you said!"
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. I think it's better to do it today!"
Soon the two were looking at each other and smiling.
But Fan Kuai, who was standing by, was filled with admiration in his heart. A few days ago, his eldest brother wanted to crush Zhang Liang to ashes, but now he was so sincere in his praise.
When it comes to being shameless, my eldest brother is stronger.
