Chapter 898: This Cao Shen Is Really Ruthless
The Qin troops dispersed quickly, and Zhang Liang followed and called Fan Kuai. This matter was urgent and he had to handle it as soon as possible.
Otherwise, these people may be intimidated by Liu Bang now, but after returning, some who miss their hometown may still regret it.
It will be very troublesome to bring other people along by then.
Seeing this scene, Cao Shen's expression on the side moved slightly, and he deliberately lagged a few steps behind. After Liu Bang was angry and left in a hurry, he whispered something to the little prince next to him, and the little prince quickly left in a hurry. .
Only then did Cao Shen follow Zhang Liang.
At this time, Zhang Liang rushed all the way to the Qin army's camp. This place was originally the manor of wealthy merchants in the city, but was conquered by Liu Bang and used as a military camp.
As for compensation, I hope those businessmen can use it underground.
So there is one thing to say, Liu Bang is still very good to these subordinate Qin troops.
But after arriving at the military camp, Zhang Liang saw that the entire camp was in chaos.
It was not at all the elite Qin army he had seen.
Zhang Liang frowned slightly and quickly called several centurions from the army and said,
"Some of you are causing trouble today, but Pei Gong will not pursue it. If there are those who are not afraid of the punishment of the Qin military law and want to go back and suffer, let them gather together immediately, and I will send them away right now."
Rather than forcing these people to stay here and destroying the morale of the army, it is better for a strong man to cut off his wrists and get rid of these people.
Several centurions looked at it and nodded quickly. One of them said,
"I want to go back too, just let these brothers follow me."
He has received enough military honors and titles, and now he just wants to go back and be with his family.
He felt a little tired of the daily life of wine, women, and killing here.
Zhang Liang nodded expressionlessly and returned,
"Then leave it to you."
"I'll be waiting for you here. Go and come back quickly."
The centurion nodded and left quickly.
After all these people left, Zhang Liang said to Fan Kuai next to him,
"General Fan, go lay a trap and gather more crossbowmen."
Even if he ambushed the opponent and outnumbered the enemy, Zhang Liang did not dare to let these slave troops fight the Qin army head-on.
Otherwise, it would be a joke if they were directly killed by these Qin troops.
You can only use more crossbowmen to shoot from a distance.
Fan Kuai immediately accepted the order and left.
Just as Zhang Liang was planning his next plan in his mind, Cao Shen's voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"Brother Liang, it's finally too late."
Seeing Cao Shen, Zhang Liang instantly became alert and asked,
"Brother Cao, what are you doing here?"
They haven't had a real showdown with Cao Shen yet, so of course he has some concerns about these things.
Cao Shen smiled bitterly at this time and said,
"Brother Liang, I want you to leave this matter to me."
Hearing this, Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and said,
"Oh? Brother Cao knows what I'm going to do?"
Seeing a hint of murderous intent in Zhang Liang's eyes, Cao Shen said calmly at this time,
"Brother Liang, are you looking down on me too much? With our actions during this period, plus Pei Gong's words just now, how could I not know these things?"
"Pei Gong is right. Now that we have no way out, why not leave this matter to me to express your feelings."
After hearing this, the suspicion in Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly lightened a lot, and he even smiled and said,
"Brother Cao, you are right. Those who understand current affairs are heroes."
"And you originally started the uprising with Pei Gong."
"Please wait a moment, I still need to report this to Pei Gong."
After speaking, he left here, but still left two powerful followers to follow Cao Shen.
Soon Zhang Liang rushed all the way back to the palace where he was drinking, and found Liu Bang to explain the matter clearly.
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang suddenly smiled.
"Hahaha, Cao Shen is really aware of current affairs. I think this is indeed a good opportunity. Once his hands are stained with the blood of the Qin army, it will be impossible to go back."
"Leave this matter to him."
Zhang Liang also nodded in agreement, and just as he was about to leave Liu Bang, he continued,
"Remember to watch from the side."
He was frightened by these people. No matter what happens now, there are always two people watching.
Zhang Liang nodded quickly and returned to the military camp. At this time, the centurion had gathered those who wanted to leave.
At a quick glance, there were nearly two hundred people.
Zhang Liang gritted his teeth. This was already almost one-tenth of the number.
But there was no way. These people couldn't stay here peacefully unless they got rid of the other Qin troops, so they walked to Cao Shen and said,
"Then I'll leave these people to you. General Fan Kuai has prepared the manpower. Just take them there."
But Cao Shen shook his head and replied,
"Brother Liang, if you use a large army to kill him, you will definitely leave traces. If he is discovered by other soldiers, it will definitely shake the morale of the army."
"I have a good idea. These days I discovered that these city-states have a place specifically for executing criminals, called the Snake Pit."
"That pothole is full of venomous snakes. If you go down there, no one will survive."
Hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but feel a chill in his body. He glanced at Cao Shen with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that the other party was so vicious, so he returned.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Cao."
"It's just that Pei Bus has taken care of it, so I still have to accompany you on this matter."
Cao Shen replied with a smile,
"As it should be."
Cao Shen took the lead and walked outside. Zhang Liang waved his hand for the others to follow, and whispered something to Fan Kuai who was rushing back.
Fan Kuai left quickly.
Soon a few people led people out of the city. At this time, the little prince was already waiting at the door. Cao Shen glanced at him, and the little prince nodded slightly.
Then they all the way to a pothole outside the city, Cao Shen said,
"Brother Liang, this is the place."
Zhang Liang nodded, and then walked to the pothole. He only took a brief look and then stepped back with a slightly pale face. He said,
"Just ask Brother Cao to take action. You don't have to worry about these people escaping."
After speaking and pointing, Cao Shen looked over and saw that Fan Kuai was slowly pressing over from behind with a large force of men.
Cao Cao's expression changed slightly and he said to the little prince next to him,
"Drive these Qin troops into the pits!"
The little prince nodded, and then led the people towards the Qin army.
At this time, the centurion of the Qin army who was leading the army had already noticed that something was wrong, and shouted to several people in a stern voice:
"What do you want!"
The other Qin troops also reflected that even though they did not have any weapons in their hands, they were ready to fight to the death.
Soon, the little prince led people to Qin Jun, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
At this time, the centurion of the Qin army was about to fight for his life when he heard the little prince at the head showing a token on his waist and saying,
"Cooperate with me, resist a little, and then jump down. The snake inside has been dealt with, and there will be people inside to help you. This is the order of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Upon hearing this, the centurion of the Qin Army was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other party suspiciously, and finally nodded.
So Zhang Liang saw that under the push of the little prince and others, the two hundred Qin troops were outnumbered and pushed into the snake pit.
Soon, an extremely miserable cry came from the pit.
Seeing this scene, Fan Kuai, who was catching up with others, couldn't help but said,
"Damn, this Cao Shen is really ruthless."
