Chapter 871 Uncle’s Back-Up Plan

When Zhang Liang followed Li into the camp, he found that everyone in the camp was packing their things. Zhang Liang smiled and said,

"It seems that Shanyu has received a gift from my master."

"Everyone is ready to leave."

Li Li glanced at the other party with a meaningful look and said,

"Your master kept his promise, and his methods were sophisticated, and he actually made the Qin army retreat so quickly. How could I live up to his good intentions?"

He really didn't expect that the other party would move so fast, otherwise he would have been more prepared.

Hearing the praise, Zhang Liang couldn't help but show a hint of pride. In terms of means and resourcefulness, he considered himself to be extremely smart.

It is impossible for ordinary people to come up with a solution and execute it in such a short period of time.

At this time it was said,

"In this case, please Shanyu fulfill his promise."

"There are nearly a hundred city-states in the west, and my master wants half of them."

This was a condition that he and Liu Bang had negotiated long ago.

Hearing this, Lidu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. Zhang Liang said at this time,

"Why, Shanyu is so surprised, does he want to regret it?"

At this time, Li shook his head very simply and returned,

"These cities are of no use to my people. Staying here will only weaken our energy. This Shanyu's goal is further to the west."

"Businessmen from far away say that there is a suitable place for grazing."

He has now slowly understood what his father said. The Huns can only maintain their strength on horseback.

Anyway, the purpose of his leaving was to make the people he left behind live a better life.

So this time, he would only plunder these city-states and then head west to reach the rumored area suitable for grazing.

Find another opportunity and return to Da Qin as equals.

"This Chanyu is just curious, how do you control these places? Even if the 20,000 Qin troops on this grassland enter, I'm afraid they won't be able to control it."

There are over a hundred city-states in the Western Regions and they occupy a large area. How could people like the Qin Army occupy so much space?

Zhang Liang showed a smile at this time and said with great confidence,

"That's one less thing to worry about."

They have never thought of directly occupying these places. After all, the manpower they currently have here is just a way of forcing them by force first and then dividing the city-states.

This method has been used by the Zhou Dynasty for a long time.

When you become stronger, you can annex these places step by step.

When talking about this, Zhang Liang still has a sense of superiority.

The wisdom of China cannot be understood by these barbarians.

Seeing Zhang Liangliang's confident look, Li did not ask further questions, but said,

"This Shanyu will soon lead his people to the west. You must remember to follow."

Although Zhang Liang felt a little rushed, he knew that the other party could not stay for them at this time, so he nodded immediately and said,

"Okay, I will tell my master."

"Just please remember, Shanyu, that when you reach the city-states in the west, these city-states close to the Qin Dynasty cannot be plundered."

Each side divides these western city-states, and the other side's plundering is beneficial to them.

Only in this way can the strength of the Qin army be highlighted while suppressing and protecting at the same time.

Only a small number of people can control these city-states, because the signal to these city-states is,

If you don't surrender to the Qin army, you will be plundered by the Huns.

So as long as you use it well, your enemy can also become your helper.

This is the power of resourcefulness.

Li nodded,

"Just as the messenger said."

Soon the two parties made an agreement, and Li said at this time,

"Messenger, I won't keep you now because I have so many things to do."

Now that the main force of the Qin army has retreated, it is important to seize the opportunity to go westward. He has no time to quarrel with the opponent.

Zhang Liang frowned slightly when he heard this. Their journey was still extremely hard, but the other party issued an eviction order, so he could only reluctantly return.

"Then I'll take my leave."

After Zhang Liang left here, King Zuo Xian on the side said with a bit of greed,

"Chanyu, now that the Qin army has retreated, why do we still need to take care of these people."

"Wouldn't it be better to just rob all the city-states and retreat all the way?"

At this time Li shook his head and said,

"There will be use for getting these people in the future, it's not easy to fall out now."

"Let each tribe pack up quickly, we must set off as soon as possible."

King Zuo Xian could only reluctantly accept the order and prepare to leave. At this time, Li remembered something and asked,

"By the way, is there a reply from Wang Ting?"

King Zuo Xian shook his head and returned,

"No."

Li immediately waved his hand to let the other person leave, but he was still thinking about it in his heart.

He has sent several letters to his uncle, but has not received a reply, and there is no news from the Qin army about tracking down the traitors.

In addition, these people on the other side actually made the main force of the Qin army retreat so easily.

He couldn't stop thinking about these things.

"Has uncle already arranged the manpower?"

Li said to himself at this time.

It's not about how strong his reasoning ability is, but according to his uncle's temperament, if he leaves it alone, he must have a back-up plan.

No matter how scheming the other party is, he can't compare with his uncle.

Thinking of this, Li couldn't help laughing at himself and said,

"I don't know where uncle has put his backup plan to deal with me."

At this moment, a Hun spy came hurriedly from a distance and said,

"Chanyu! Oh no, traces of the Qin army were found in the direction of Wang Ting! They are coming towards us!"

Hearing this, Li's expression suddenly changed and he asked,

"How many people are there? How far away are they from us?"

The Hun spy quickly replied,

"The number should be around two thousand, and there are still two days to go! But there should be reinforcements in the rear."

Li was slightly relieved at this time. Two thousand people still posed no threat. After all, the Qin army had many infantrymen. He quickly said,

"Let all the tribesmen move quickly, we must set off early tomorrow morning!"

Only when they enter the west side are they truly safe.

Soon the whole camp became more and more noisy.

At this time, the sky was getting dark. Zhang Liang stood on the grassland and walked quickly with his own hands.

After taking a look at the sky, he slowed down and said,

"Camp where you are."

It's easy to get lost in the grassland at night, and it's a bit dangerous. No one would march at night unless it was absolutely necessary.

Soon, the Qin army in the team began to set up the camp, but the effect of the arrangement was average.

Although Zhang Liangzhong was dissatisfied, he didn't say much.

These Qin troops who followed him were all easily tempted.

Naturally, their capabilities are not as good as those of other Qin troops.

Zhang Liang entered his tent and ignored these people.

But no one noticed that under the gradually dimming night, in the lush grass, a pair of cold eyes were staring at them, like a ferocious beast sizing up its prey.
