Even though Pill Water City had been cleaned, the air was still filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Liu Bang couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Xiao He was right.
Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo weren't worried about the fierce resistance of the Danshui soldiers and civilians. They were venting their anger and slaughtering the entire city.
How many people must have been killed by Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, and the others with such a strong smell of blood?
"Strike the drums and gather the troops. Order Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, and the soldiers under them to gather at the drill ground immediately.”
Without any time to rest, Liu Bang ordered Xia Houying coldly.
"Yes!"
Xia Houying quickly went to deliver the order.
In the Drill Ground of Pill Water City, the sound of three drums reverberated in the sky above Pill Water City for a long time.
Even the soldiers who had fallen asleep quickly woke up. They put on their armor and weapons as soon as possible and gathered at the drill ground.
Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai, the vanguard generals, were the first to gather on the drill ground.
Fan Kuai's face was full of smiles.
"Heh, General Zhou, guess how Liu Bang will reward us. After all, we have obtained Pill Water. Although it is only a small city, the resources we have collected are still quite abundant.”
Other than rewarding meritorious officials, Fan Kuai could not think of a second possibility. Liu Bang had to gather so many soldiers of the Revolutionary Army on the drill ground.
However, Zhou Bo couldn't laugh at Fan Kuai's words. He had a vague guess and a bad feeling.
If he was not wrong, then…
After the three drums, hundreds of thousands of Guandong rebel soldiers gathered inside and outside the drill ground.
On the drill ground, bonfires were lit everywhere. Facing the dazzling flames, Liu Bang sat at the head of the table.
He leaned on the Red Cloud Sword and looked down at the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army.
"Today, the vanguard army bravely seized the Pill Water and obtained countless gold, silver, and rations. They solved the urgent problem of our Revolutionary Army.”
"I, Liu Bang, will not treat any of you unfairly. Pass on my orders, the vanguard soldiers will each be rewarded with ten gold!”
"As for the official titles, it's useless to talk about them now. In today's world, if the Qin Empire isn't destroyed, even if I grant each of you the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Families, it's just a verbal promise.”
Liu Bang was born in the wilderness, so he understood the mentality of the soldiers at the bottom better than anyone else.
The cruder the words, the more straightforward the words.
The easier it was for the army of local ruffians to develop a sense of identity.
"Long live Pei Gong!"
As expected.
As soon as Liu Bang finished speaking, the entire drill ground was filled with cheers.
In this day and age, joining the army and risking their lives was all for money.
Ten gold coins per person was enough for a family of five to live comfortably for a year. Who wouldn't be excited and happy to receive such a reward?
However, the more this was the case, the more ominous Zhou Bo's premonition became. He started his army from Pei County and Liu Bang, and fought all the way to the south and north.
He knew Liu Bang's thoughts very well. The higher he was praised, the worse he would fall.
The first thing he did was to reward them wantonly. What happened next would probably be difficult to deal with.
"Long live, long live my ass!"
As expected, Liu Bang's gentle smile suddenly changed. His eyes were cold and murderous.
Under the illumination of the red flames, his expression became even more ferocious. The soldiers were all stunned when they saw this.
All of them shivered and didn't dare to say anything.
The smile on Fan Kuai's face faded, and he lowered his head without a word. Zhou Bo's expression changed, and he looked as if he had expected it.
They knew Liu Bang all too well after all the battles he had gone through. Judging from the current situation, Liu Bang was not just angry, but furious!
The Battle of Danshui, obtaining a large amount of grain, gold, and silver was originally a joyous occasion.
However, Liu Bang's behavior was so furious. The only possibility was that he had massacred the entire city.
The vanguard was led by Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai, one as the main general and the other as the deputy general.
Once the responsibility was pursued, the two of them would definitely bear the brunt!
The result was just as Zhou Bo had expected.
Today, they had gathered their troops and spent so much effort to create such a huge formation. It was not to reward the three armies at all, but to gather their troops to establish their might!
"Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, you two have committed a heinous crime!”
Liu Bang shouted, a sharp light flashing in his eyes as he threatened Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai.
The Red Cloud Sword in front of his chest flashed with a cold light in the fire.
Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai were shocked. They bowed and said in unison,"Sir Pei, I don't know what heinous crime we have committed."”
"Hahaha, you don't know, you don't know!”
"A few days ago, the soldiers and civilians of Pill Water City submitted to our Revolutionary Army.”
Liu Bang laughed sinisterly. "Don't you know that as a general, you can attack cities and seize land without losing the hearts of the people?”
"But you've slaughtered the entire city, and you're the soldiers and civilians of Pill Water City who have already pledged allegiance to our Revolutionary Army. What's the difference between your actions and the Violent Qin?”
