Chapter 972 Is Everything Normal?
After Cao Shen gave the order, he began to make preparations.
He was originally arranged by Zhang Liang to prevent a surprise attack, but he himself didn't think the Qin army could make a sudden surprise attack into the hinterland.
Because the requirements for the front are too high.
After all, the Qin army only had that many people, so he was ready to respond from within.
But I never expected that the Qin army actually made a surprise attack.
It also illustrates Zhang Liang’s power from the side, and he actually responded in advance.
It's a pity that he was the one who made the arrangements.
All I can say is that time is destiny.
He has stayed here for a long time, and the communication with His Royal Highness is not smooth.
There's no way, we're too far apart,
You can only make your own decisions based on the situation.
And now Liu Bang has led these people to unite the entire Western Region in name for more than two years, and has gained some prestige. If it is allowed to develop, the entire Western Region will become the opponent's stronghold.
This is not a good thing for Da Qin.
Now that the Western Region has been taken, with the previous preparations, it is natural that this area can be included in the territory of Great Qin.
That's why he chose to take the initiative to contact the Qin Jun coach.
"I don't know that my action talisman is not in line with His Highness the Crown Prince's wishes."
Cao Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself.
Soon he stopped thinking about it and started making final preparations.
At this time, a group of fast horses headed in the direction where the Qin army was found.
A few days later, in a wilderness inside the Western Region,
Different from the usual loneliness, there is a simple camp here.
Many Qin troops rested and replenished here,
In the middle tent, Han Xin was looking at the map in front of him with a slight frown, and asked the deputy general on the side,
"Where is General Lu now?"
The deputy general quickly replied,
"The latest news is that General Lu has captured two cities and is working non-stop to capture other cities."
"Based on time, I should have won the third one now."
Hearing this, Han Xin was slightly surprised.
"General Lu is actually so powerful?"
It had only been a few days since they came in, and they had just brought some people with them, found a few targets, and were ready to attack together.
He is good at large-scale command.
The opponent was indeed better than him in terms of bravery. He nodded and continued,
"Very well, what we need now is speed!"
Once there is a city and their whereabouts are discovered,
So no matter how they kill those spies, the other party will always find a way to get the news out after living here for so many years.
It's just that it's early or late.
What they want is this time difference.
As long as they destroy these people's hometowns before the other party reacts and comes back for reinforcements, they will succeed.
The current situation is much better than he thought, so he can naturally make arrangements in advance.
After all, Zhou Bo's side might not be able to hold on for long.
Just when he was about to continue giving orders, a Qin Army spy hurried over and said,
"General, our people have received news that someone from the Western Regions took the initiative to contact us and said they knew Liu Bang's whereabouts."
"I also sent some information about the internal layout of the Western Region."
Hearing this, Han Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then asked with some vigilance,
"Where are they from?"
What they are most worried about now is being prepared in advance to deal with it.
Although the beating is definitely possible,
But in this way, his casualties will increase a lot.
And now, not long after they came in, someone wants to take the initiative to give them information.
It's natural to be wary.
The Qin Army spy looked a little weird at this time and said,
"General, the people coming are our own."
"They also said that their general is called Cao Shen, and he has been ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince to be here to support them."
The person who contacted them was the Qin Army who was here before.
After listening to Qin Jun's words, Han Xin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said,
"Cao Shen!?"
Of course he has an impression of Cao Shen. He followed Liu Bang when he was still in Peixian County.
Later, when collecting information about Liu Bang, I also learned that the other party helped Liu Bang handle many affairs and was a core member of Liu Bang.
He originally thought that the other party was also Liu Bang's die-hard loyalist.
But I didn't expect,
The other party turned out to be from His Highness the Crown Prince.
After thinking for a moment, Han Xin quickly said,
"Give me the information, then tell her, and let him come to see me in person."
He still maintained some vigilance against this sudden information.
After all, there is no way to verify with His Highness the Crown Prince now.
Only after you have the other party in your hands can you trust it a little bit.
In a life and death situation, every step he takes will affect the nearly 20,000 Qin cavalry, and they cannot relax.
The Qin army quickly took the order and left. Han Xin no longer hesitated. Taking the information he got, he began to arrange the test letters.
As long as they are sure this information is true, they will launch an attack!
Then raid the place where Liu Bang is in one fell swoop!
Become a prince in one fell swoop!
At this time, in a large city in the Western Region, Liu Bang was walking around in his room a little anxiously.
Lu Wan on the side couldn't help but ask,
"Brother, why are you so anxious?"
"Aren't the battles on the front line going smoothly now? Then the Qin army is trapped there."
Liu Bang stopped, frowned and said,
"I still feel something is wrong. Qin Jun appeared there, but Han Xin never showed up."
Lu Wan replied,
"Brother, those are just the front troops of the Qin Army. The general is naturally in the rear."
Liu Bang shook his head and said,
"Han Xin is a man who thinks very highly of himself and is headstrong. In such a situation, how could he leave all the war to Zhou Bo?"
Compared with Han Xin's men, Liu Bang admitted that he was not a good soldier.
But he knew the character of these people,
Given the current opportunity, it would be impossible for Han Xin to be so patient and hide behind him for so many days.
So there must have been some changes that he didn't know about.
Soon, he frowned and asked,
"Is there any reply from Cao Shen?"
He left internal security to Cao Shen. If there were any problems, the other party should report them as soon as possible.
Lu Wan replied,
"Cao Shen reports back every day, everything is normal."
"everything is normal?"
After hearing this, Liu Bang became a little wary and continued to ask,
"Did he really say that?"
Lu Wan thought for a while, took out a few documents from the side and said,
"Brother, see for yourself, isn't everything normal?"
Liu Bang took the document at this time and quickly read it for a while.
Sure enough, all the paperwork said everything was fine.
But Liu Bang's expression became more and more serious, and finally he put down the document and said coldly,
"Notify everyone that we are leaving here and moving to another city."
Lu Wan was stunned for a moment and said,
"Brother, why is this?"
Liu Bang immediately took a deep breath and said,
"How can everything be normal in today's situation!?"
