What was that?
A road of no return?
Xiao He spoke with certainty.
Liu Bang's expression changed drastically when he heard her firm tone!
In his panic, he hurriedly said,
"Lord Xiao, the matter is not as serious as you say, right?
In the end, Pill Water was just a small city.
Slaughtering it would at most incur some criticism.
It shouldn't be to the extent of walking on a path of no return, right?”
Xiao He sighed and shook his head.
Whoosh.
The curtain of the central army tent was opened again.
It was the Sage of Scheming, Zhang Liang, who walked in and said in a deep voice.
"Pei Gong, Brother Xiao is right.”
"The matter of Yingyang is still remembered by everyone in the world.
Not long after, the Pill Water once again massacred the city.
Once the news reached Guanzhong, it would definitely arouse the Qin people's courage to fight to the end.
At that time, our losses will be huge.”
Zhang Liang actually had the same thoughts as Xiao He, which made Liu Bang completely lost his wits.
He wasn't someone who wouldn't listen to good words.
He just didn't expect it to be just a small city.
It could actually cause such serious consequences.
How difficult was it to manage an army in a chaotic world?
Liu Bang also had a deep understanding.
Who would have thought that it was just a territory.
He actually needed so much time to consider.
It was simply impossible to guard against.
"I don't want the massacre to happen.
But you know that.
In the end, the Revolutionary Army was essentially a concentration camp for bandits and hooligans.
If they weren't allowed to kill and plunder, how could they be willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?”
If he didn't lack money or food, why would he risk his life to attack Wu Pass?
He didn't have any grand ambitions.
With his current strength, where would he not be a powerful duke?
But now.
The huge Pei Gong Army had hundreds of thousands of people to feed.
They had no money, no food, and they were not allowed to kill and rob.
He did not know what to do.
Xiao He couldn't help but reveal a disappointed expression.
He finally understood Liu Bang's attitude.
Without saying anything else, Xiao He cupped his hands at Liu Bang.
"We, the Revolutionary Army, have sworn an alliance in Pei County for only one purpose.
That was to overthrow the violent Qin and return peace to the people.
However, at this moment, he was actually doing something that angered the heavens and angered the people by the Pill Water River.
"I, Xiao He, cut myself off from the world and broke my promise to the tens of thousands of citizens of Pill Water City.
I am willing to withdraw from the rebel army and return to my hometown.
From now on, I won't take half a step out of the mountains."
Hearing this, Liu Bang's face turned pale.
Xiao He's words were like sharp blades stabbing into his heart.
"Bastard Xiao He!
Do you think I want to see a massacre happen?
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were eating and chewing every day.
Do you know how much food and resources are needed?
If he didn't kill or rob them, they would be killed.
How can you achieve the great cause of resisting Qin?
Did he really think that he would make a verbal promise?
They are willing to bet their lives on us for nothing?。”
"If it wasn't for those old brothers from Pei County who came with me.
How did I, Liu Bang, get to where I am today?”
Now, you insist on forcing me to fall out with my old brothers.
Then why would I play ball?
He would continue to return to Pei County and be a local ruffian!”
Looking at the furious Liu Bang indifferently, Xiao He's heart turned cold."
"An army that can even massacre a city, and a bird... What was the difference between beasts?
So what if they weren't here?
If they lost the hearts of the people, they would be destroyed one day.”
"You!"
Liu Bang didn't lose his mind in his rage.
"Then what do you think we should do?
The impact of not having money was not that great.
But without food, how could they let their brothers go to war on an empty stomach?”
Seeing this, Xiao He subconsciously exchanged glances with Zhang Liang.
You're worth teaching!
The reason why famous people like them were willing to follow Liu Bang and assist him was because they were very talented.
It was because of this.
He has the magnanimity to tolerate others, and can recognize mistakes and correct them.
He was definitely the best candidate to rule over the Qin country.
"Pei Gong doesn't need to worry so much, the rations are not difficult to deal with.
As long as the Revolutionary Army didn't massacre the city and didn't commit crimes.
They were using the banner of pleading for the people.
Wherever he passed, the people supported him.
There were plenty of people who took the initiative to contribute food. Why would they go to the point of massacring the city?”
Zhang Liang had a pearl of wisdom in his hand and said indifferently,
"If he was like Xiang Yu, everyone would see him as a bandit.
Everywhere he went, he massacred the city.
Once the rear lost their supplies, the army would collapse in a few days.”
Hearing this, Liu Bang was delighted.
If the problem of rations could be solved, everything could be discussed.
"The most important thing right now is how to settle the matter of Pill Water City.
Danshui was located in front of Wu Pass.
The gazes of the six million Qin people in Guanzhong were all gathered here.
One wrong step would lead to a bottomless abyss.
A good game of chess would also collapse completely.”
Zhang Liang said sincerely to Xiao He.
"I hope Brother Xiao can forget about the past and enter the pass for Liu Gong.
He wanted to minimize the impact of the massacre and win the hearts of the people.”
"Lord Xiao, I, Liu Bang, was reckless and ignorant.
Please give face to the people of the world.
Let go of past grudges and help the Revolutionary Army tide over this crisis!”
Liu Bang said respectfully.
"In that case, leave this matter to me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao He did not stop.
He left the main tent to deal with the matter of the pill water.
Liu Bang watched Xiao He leave without saying anything.
However, he did not hide the relaxed look on his face.
If Xiao He really wanted to leave, why would he talk so much to Liu Bang?
The reason why they were so intense was to persuade Liu Bang.
Now that they had reached an agreement, everything was naturally negotiable.
Even Zhang Liang, who hadn't left, saw the way Xiao He and Liu Bang interacted.
She couldn't help but feel touched.
Here, he saw the close trust between the king and his subjects.
No wonder Liu Bang was just a local ruffian in the past.
However, he was able to walk out of a small Pei County and walk step by step to where he was today.
They became the second most powerful faction after Xiang Yu.
The capable people under him were willing to work for him.
He had never thought of finding another path.
At this moment, Zhang Liang could not help but think.
Perhaps Liu Bang was the one he had been looking for all this time.
Even though Liu Bang was illiterate and did things crudely.
His entire body was filled with the aura of a ruffian.
However, he was a natural leader.
It was an invisible charisma.
It could unite the hearts of all.
The most valuable thing was that he could listen to suggestions.
Therefore, Liu Bang had no lack of brave generals and talents.
Their power naturally expanded to an extremely terrifying extent over time.
If one day, he became the king and emperor, he would have Zhang Liang to assist him.
It was not impossible.
...........
"Your Majesty!"
After a bloody battle.
Ying Feng led the light cavalry and successfully broke out of the rebel army's encirclement.
He returned to Wu Pass safely.
20,000 Qin soldiers welcomed them on the city wall.
Amongst them were the general Mai Tiezhang and some officers.
He could not help but come forward.
"Everyone, let's talk inside.”
Hearing this, Iron Staff and the others nodded.
Ying Feng had returned safely, and they all let out a sigh of relief.
"Yes, we will obey Your Majesty's orders!”
