Chapter 179 Who Walks Faster

"Oh! This Zhu Yuanzhang is full of tricks, and now he is still thinking of plotting against me!" Thinking, as soon as Liu Ji left, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but scolded.

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Pei Gong, it's better to mobilize the army now, since Zhu Yuanzhang also has the same purpose as us, then our army will leave a thousand soldiers for show, and the rest of the soldiers can leave now. "

Hearing this, Liu Bang immediately said to Liu Bei, "Brother, you are leading an army of [-] to go first, and Zhang Liang, Han Xin and I are now walking slowly behind, dispatching so many troops at once will definitely arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's vigilance .”

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei stood up without refusing, and said, "Abang, take care!"

Immediately leading Sun Ce, he led an army of [-] people out of the city gate without making a sound, and headed straight to the north.

Let's say that Liu Ji returned to Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion, and immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "General, something is wrong. When I saw Liu Bang, after I told him about it, he agreed without even thinking about it!"

"This...is it possible that Liu Bang also wants to plot against us?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something, "Our army is going to set off now, and strive to be in front of Liu Bang. When Liu Bang is chased by the Qin army and killed, there will be losses to say the least. of!"

"Okay! I'm going to pass on the military order!" Liu Ji bowed his hands at Zhu Yuanzhang, turned around and walked out immediately, calling a hundred soldiers.

"Twenty of you, go to the east to see what's going on in Liu Bang's army, and remember to come back and report to me at any time!"

"You 20 people, immediately go and tell the two generals Gao Chong and Ma Yuan to lead the troops and wait outside the west gate immediately. Our army is going to leave immediately!"

"You 20 people went to Liu Bang's army and said that we don't have enough food and grass here. I hope Liu Bang will allocate some food and grass!"

"You 20 people, lead 100 people each, go to the big households in Yancheng, tell them to pay according to the head of the family, and each person will pay [-] gold, if not, then beheaded!"

"The last remaining 20 people, followed by a certain person and the general, took away all the military information on the place where the general lives, and destroyed those who could not be taken away!"

After saying so many words in one breath, Liu Jifang stopped, took a deep breath, and shouted: "

Do you understand everything? "

"Understood!" The 100 people suddenly shouted.

Only then did Liu Ji wave his hand in satisfaction, and the 100 people immediately dispersed, mounted their horses, and galloped around the city.

"General! Soldiers have come from Zhu Yuanzhang's army, saying that the army's food and grass are insufficient. I hope our army can allocate some food and grass!" The soldier stood in front of Liu Bang and was reporting back to Liu Bang.

When Liu Bang heard this, he said immediately, "Zhang Liang, this man came to ask for food, how should our army treat him?"

"Haha... This is really God helping me!" Zhang Liang said with a smile, "a certain person was still thinking about what our army should do to load the grain and grass here, but now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to cover up the truth, and he even sent someone to our army. If we want food and grass, our army can do this... and if we do this, we can easily transport the food and grass away!"

Hearing this, Liu Bang couldn't help but looked at Zhang Liang approvingly: "Zifang is really a talent. Back then we embezzled money from the treasury to buy wine and drink, and you can get along with all kinds of attention with wine. Let's go to war, you are also such a set of children!"

Zhang Liang's face straightened, and you said solemnly: "You and I embezzled public money to buy wine and drink, it was just a trivial matter, now the important military affairs are related to your life and my life, how dare you not think about it!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and said, "Now you lead the soldiers in Zhu Yuanzhang's army to help with food. Remember, you must pack it up and take care of these twenty people!"

The soldier stood beside the two of them and immediately said, "Here!"

On Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Liu Ji and others were the first to remove all the supplies in the mansion and transport them to the west gate. Outside the west gate, the [-] soldiers Zhu Yuanzhang gathered again were more or less colorful~!

Liu Ji followed Zhu Yuanzhang, holding a roll of Qin paper in his hand, which was filled with densely packed words.

Behind the two were dozens of large boxes. These boxes were all placed on the carriage, but from the ruts of the carriage, the contents of the boxes should be very heavy!

Zhu Yuanzhang came to the front, and the eyes of all the soldiers in the army fell on Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's face also became a little dignified!
"All the soldiers followed me to kill the enemy, and every credit is recorded in the register. Today we returned to Yancheng, and we should reward the meritorious deeds. Those whose names are called can come forward to receive the reward!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly!

As soon as these words fell, Liu Ji directed the soldiers to go forward and open all the dozens of large boxes!

"Ah--"

In an instant, everyone burst into shocking voices!

Pairs of eyes, full of greed, looked at the boxes in front of them—gold!All gold!

Pieces of gold were cut very neatly according to the standards stipulated by the Qin Dynasty, and the faint metallic luster exuded seductive power under the sun.

Liu Ji took out the Qin paper roster in his hand, and in front of each box stood a soldier who could read and write.

"Let's start!" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced back at Liu Ji, and Liu Ji immediately shouted: "All the names that have been tapped come up to receive rewards!"

"Zhang Deqi! Thirty beheads! Twelve taels of gold!"

"Niu Degui! Behead eighteen! Reward five taels of gold!"

"Wang Xiao! Behead twenty and reward eight taels of gold!"

……

What can a tael of gold do?You can sell hundreds of acres of land, you can buy a young and beautiful lady, and you can buy three or four wooden houses!
The names were read out one by one, and within half an hour, half of the gold contained in dozens of boxes had been sent out!
Standing on the high platform, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the soldiers who had received gold rewards, each of them smiled and said while the iron was hot: "This general here promises that as long as you fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, you will be rewarded generously!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, he could already feel the enthusiastic eyes of the whole army!
"The whole army listened to the order and set off to the north immediately. We are going back to Zhao State now!"

"Back! Back! Back!"

For a moment, the soldiers who got the reward took the lead and shouted loudly, and the soldiers who did not get the reward were not discouraged. They all thought in their hearts that as long as they fought forward in the next battle, they would definitely get the same reward!
That's gold!
The real gold, as long as you get ten taels of gold, you can go back to your hometown, find such a beautiful girl that you don't dare to look at on weekdays, and marry her back home!
The thinking of the soldiers is very simple. In many cases, they are not fighting for righteousness. As long as it is not the case of foreign invasion, such as the invasion of Xirong, Huns, and Hu people, when the scuffle in the Central Plains begins, the soldiers often follow along Who fights.

But the premise must be enough to eat and have military pay.If these two points cannot be satisfied, who will follow you to work hard?

Zhu Yuanzhang's army has already set off, and there is not a single soldier left in the entire Ximen. It can be said that if an enemy army comes to attack at this time, it will be a long drive.

In Liu Bang's army, Liu Bang rode a war horse to the military grain camp and took a look. The uniforms of the twenty Zhao troops were particularly conspicuous.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Liu Bang's mouth, and he immediately rushed forward.

Zhao Jun's soldiers saw Liu Bang coming, and immediately stood up, cupped their hands at Liu Bang and said, "I have seen the general!"

"How do you feel here?" Liu Bang smiled.

"Excellent!" exclaimed one of the soldiers.

"Well……"

As soon as the word "good" was uttered, the Chixiao sword in Liu Bang's hand had already slashed towards the soldier's head!

"Wow—"

The blood flew up like a fountain, and the soldiers around Liu Bang roared ferociously when they saw it, raised their spears, and stabbed the remaining nineteen Zhao soldiers to the ground!
Blood flowed in the camp, forming a stream.

Liu Bang stepped on the bloody water with his horse's hooves, and shouted loudly: "From now on, go through the east gate! The whole army set out quickly, and leave no grain for the Qin people!"

"go!"

Liu Bang yelled, and immediately led the soldiers up quickly towards the east gate.

Fan Kui glanced at the houses and shops on both sides of the street, and suddenly laughed: "Pei Gong! We don't even leave food for the people of Qin, why don't we burn down the houses here too?"

"En..." Liu Bang rolled his eyes when he heard the words.It seemed that he wanted to praise Fan Kuai, but he struggled a bit.

"Forget it, what we want is the world. If we haven't got the world yet, we will accumulate a bad reputation. If we want to get the world in the future, it will be even more difficult!" In the turbulent world situation at the end of the year, it was not accidental that he suddenly stood out and established the Han Dynasty.

Hearing this, Fan Kui put away the idea of ​​setting fire in his heart, rode his horse and galloped, and arrived at the east gate not long after.

When Zhang Liang saw Liu Bang coming, he stepped forward and said, "I found out that the soldiers in Zhu Yuanzhang's army who were spying secretly have been arrested and killed by me!"

"This Zhu Yuanzhang, you have to be careful! Let's set off now, we must not fall behind Zhu Yuanzhang!" Liu Bang sneered.

"The whole army is going!" Fan Kui rushed to the front of the army with a Pixiu blood-swallowing spear in his hand, shouting loudly!

The army of about 2 people moved quickly and silently towards the north.

For a moment, the entire Yancheng seemed to have turned into a dead city.

The reason why it is called a dead city does not mean that there is no one here, and there is no sound at 21 o'clock.

There are still tens of thousands of people in the city. Although it is not as large as the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, a city that is not a national capital can be considered a big city if it has a population of tens of thousands.

At noon, the sun in the sky cast a venomous light, as if it was about to burn the armor of the soldiers of the Qin army.

Fusu's golden battle armor looked heavier and hotter.

However, all this is worth it, Yancheng is already in sight!
"Order the whole army! Prepare to attack the city!"

Fusu pulled out the Yitian sword and shouted loudly!
