The Great Qin: Stop Pretending, Your Father, I Am Qin Shihuang

Chapter 965: Brother Cao, Can I Trust You?

Liu Bang looked at his subordinates in front of him and felt extremely tired.

He received news from the merchants who were doing business with Da Qin.

Da Qin's army is gathering and may soon attack the Western Regions.

He knew that it must be his subordinates who got into something and provoked the Qin army.

Sure enough, Fan Kuai quickly said,

"Brother, those Qin people are too arrogant. They are even more arrogant than us on our territory!"

"Last time, a small city lord just hanged a few servants, and the Qin people's caravan rushed over and destroyed the entire city lord's mansion!"

"How can I bear this!"

"If you don't kill them, how can you convince the crowd, brother?!"

Hearing this, Liu Bang couldn't help but sigh. Of course he knew this situation,

Now those Qin people are indeed looking for trouble. Whenever they see something that doesn't suit their liking, they must follow the laws of Qin.

He really can't say anything in name. Who asked him to do it in the name of Qin Army?

Okay now, the other party is going to call directly.

At this point, there was no room for turning around, and Liu Bang could only ask,

"The matter has reached this point. It's useless to say anything. Do you have any countermeasures?"

Fan Kuai replied angrily,

"Why are you afraid of him? Let's fight the Qin army! We have 100,000 troops, and the Qin army only has 20,000."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bang suddenly said angrily,

"It's good that we have 100,000 horses, but you don't know the Qin army's 20,000 horses. They are all the most elite frontier cavalry. So how can we defeat them?"

Liu Bang still knows a lot about these troops under his command.

In this part of the Western Region, of course he is invincible.

But compared with the Qin army, it was completely inadequate.

Just when he was angry, Zhang Liang beside him said,

“Actually, it’s not necessarily impossible to beat.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Bang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said,

"Brother Aliang, what's your plan?"

Zhang Liang quickly said at this time,

"The Qin army has 20,000 elite troops. The cavalry is good and the combat power is extremely strong, but these people are not good at attacking cities."

"As long as we concentrate our superior manpower and defend the city, as long as we can hold on for two months, the Qin army will definitely not be able to afford it and will naturally retreat."

"Besides, Pei Gong still remembers that the Qin army bought a lot of oil, and we have a lot of it. This is a sharp weapon for defending the city."

Hearing this, Liu Bang showed a smile,

"A Liang, you still see far!"

"Okay, I'll leave the defense to you this time, and Fan Kuai will also help you."

"Cao Shen, you are responsible for the internal maintenance to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."

After what happened last time, he still believed in Zhang Liang. In the past two years, with the help of the other party, he had pacified the entire Western Region and achieved the current situation.

And just in case, he asked Fan Kuai to follow him.

There shouldn't be any problems.

Zhang Liang took orders extremely obediently at this time.

Cao Shen was the same at this time, but he glanced at Zhang Liang slightly doubtfully.

Because the other party acted too calmly, it seemed that he had expected such a day.

Soon after several people discussed it for a while, they each took orders and left to arrange the arrangements.

Cao Shen hesitated for a moment and then followed Zhang Liang.

"Brother, please stay."

Zhang Liang turned around and saw Cao Shen, and immediately smiled and said,

"Brother Cao, what's the matter?"

He has had a good relationship with the other party in the past two years, and the other party is extremely talented and a reliable person.

Cao Shen hesitated for a moment and then said,

"This warrior, I think it may not be that simple."

"The Qin army must have something to rely on, and Han Xin is not an ordinary person."

"I'm afraid this battle won't be easy. Good brother, don't underestimate the enemy."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

The other party actually had the same idea as him. He looked around and saw that no one was following them.

Zhang Liang took Cao Shen aside and said,

"Brother Cao, can I trust you?"

Cao Shen's heart moved, but his face was full of solemnity and he said,

"Brother Liang, why can't you trust me that I've been waiting for my colleague for a long time?"

Zhang Liang nodded and said,

"Actually, I'm looking down, this battle will be lost."

Cao Shen was shocked when he heard this.

"Brother Liang, if you feel this way, then why did you tell Pei Gong..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Liang stopped him and said,

"Because Pei Gong will definitely not give up here."

As early as the beginning, he knew that the Qin army had never thought of giving up the Western Regions. It was just that they did not have the national strength to support them in annexing the Western Regions.

Now that the Qin army dares to launch an attack, it means that the opponent is fully prepared.

Just relying on these rabble-rousers in the Western Regions to confront the Qin army is a complete fantasy.

While he had been helping Liu Bang stabilize the Western Regions in the past two years, he had already prepared supplies for evacuation in the cities farther west.

The reason why Liu Bang was not told was because he knew that the other party would not be willing to part with his current status until the critical moment.

This is the only way he can help the other party.

The other party will thank him then.

Listening to Zhang Liang's words, Cao Shen was naturally surprised at this time. He didn't expect that the other party was actually prepared.

Zhang Liang then continued,

"Now that we have reached a critical moment, I still want to ask Brother Cao for help with some things."

He has to take care of the battle ahead and cannot do two things at once, so he really needs manpower.

Cao Shen naturally said,

"I will do my best next time."

Zhang Liang immediately handed over some non-core matters to the other party.

He was indeed a little tired by himself.

Soon the two separated and went about their business.

At this time, Cao Shen returned to his residence and called the little prince.

"I have something to entrust to you. You let the Qin troops we rescued before do it."

Cao Shen quickly said something to the little prince. After hearing this, the little prince glanced at the other person in slight surprise, and then replied in Da Qin dialect, which he had become quite proficient in.

"Yes, General."

Now more and more people are learning and speaking Da Qin dialect throughout the Western Region, so he is making rapid progress.

After the little prince left, Cao Shen frowned and said to himself,

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want me to do this time?"

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, the entire Western Region became tense.

Because everyone got the news,

The Qin army began to attack the Western Regions!

At this time, Zhang Liang was standing on the city wall, looking in the direction of the Qin army.

Not long after, a spy brought back the news. Zhang Liang quickly asked,

"How many men does the Qin army have?"

Although he felt that the Qin army could definitely win the Western Region, he had to make the other party pay a corresponding price!

So you must try to understand each other as much as possible.

The spies soon returned.

"General, the Qin army does not have many troops. According to the number of flags and tents, it should be about 20,000."

Zhang Liang suddenly frowned slightly.

"Twenty thousand people? Are they all here?"

He thought that the Qin army would separately attack in a sneak attack, but since the other party dared to confront him head-on, he would inflict heavy casualties on these people!
