"Talk about taking over Guanzhong, talk about saving the Dawn of the World, but you are just jackals of the same tribe as the Qin army, you will only harm the Dawn of the World.”
"Such an ending isn't what Xiao He wanted. I think it's time for me to leave the Revolutionary Army and retire.”
Xiao He's words were firm and firm, causing Liu Bang's expression to change drastically. In his panic, he quickly spoke.
"Lord Xiao, the matter is not as serious as you say. In the end, Pill Water is just a small city.”
"Slaughtering it will at most cause some criticism. It shouldn't be to the extent of walking on the path of no return.”
Xiao He sighed and shook his head.
Crash!
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.”
"Once the news reaches the pass, it will 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 didn't listen to good words, but he didn't expect that it was just a small city in Pill Water City.
To be able to cause such serious consequences, Liu Bang had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to manage an army in a chaotic world.
Who would have thought that they would have to consider so many things just to occupy a territory? It was simply impossible to guard against.
"I don't want to massacre the city either, but you all know that the Revolutionary Army is essentially a concentration camp for bandits and hooligans.”
"If we don't let them kill and rob, how can 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, he would be a powerful duke wherever he went.
But now, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the army that needed to be fed.
He had no money, no food, and he was 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 more, Xiao He cupped his hands at Liu Bang.
"We, the Revolutionary Army, have sworn an alliance in Pei County with only one goal, which is to overthrow the Violent Qin and return peace to the people of the world.”
"However, at this moment, you actually did something that angered the heavens and the people. I, Xiao He, cut myself off from the world and broke my promise to the tens of thousands of people of Pill Water City.”
"I'm willing to withdraw from the Revolutionary 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 in the city? Do you know how much food and resources are needed for an army of hundreds of thousands of people to eat and chew every day?”
"If you don't kill or rob, how can you realize the great cause of resisting the Qin Dynasty?”
"Do you really think that just because you made a few verbal promises, they would be willing to bet their lives on us for nothing?”
"If it wasn't for the old brothers who followed me from Pei County, how could I, Liu Bang, be able to get to where I am today!”
"Now, you insist on forcing me to fall out with my old brothers. Then, why should I play ball? I'll just go back 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 is no different from beasts. So what if they don't exist?”
"If you lose the hearts of the people, you will be destroyed one day!”
"You…"
Liu Bang didn't lose his mind in his rage.
"Then what do you think we should do? Without money, the impact won't be too big, but without food, do we have to let our brothers go to war hungry?”
Seeing this, Xiao He subconsciously exchanged glances with Zhang Liang.
This was the reason why famous people like them were willing to follow Liu Bang and assist him.
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.
"There is no need to be so worried, Liu Bang. The rations are actually not difficult to deal with. As long as the uprising army does not massacre the cities or commit crimes, and flaunts the banner of pleading for the people, the people will support them wherever they go.”
"There are plenty of people who voluntarily contribute food. Why would they go to the point of massacring the city?”
Zhang Liang said indifferently.
"If it was like Xiang Yu, everyone would see him as a bandit and would massacre cities wherever he went.”
"Once the rear loses their supplies, the army will collapse in no time!”
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 in Danshui City. Danshui City is located in front of Wu Pass, and the six million Qin people in the pass are all focused here.”
"One wrong step will lead to a bottomless abyss. Even a good game of chess will collapse completely.”
Zhang Liang said sincerely to Xiao He.
"I hope that Brother Xiao can forget about the past and reduce the impact of the massacre on Liu Gong's entrance to win the hearts of the people.”
"Lord Xiao, it was I, Liu Bang, who was reckless and ignorant. Please give face to the people of the world and let bygones be bygones and help the Revolutionary Army tide over this crisis!”
Liu Bang said respectfully.
