Fan Kuai echoed: "Brother, you can't just do whatever you want when you enter Xianyang. Didn't you hear what I said in the letter? Ziying has to make some preparations. Do you think he is planning to give away those beautiful palace ladies?
Hide it."
"Where can he hide? Xianyang City is so big, even he can't fly into the sky."
Zhang Liang thought for a while and came out to remind: "Pei Gong, be careful of fraud. Maybe Ziying will run away and we have to guard against it."
"Wherever he can run, Qin's situation is over. He will die wherever he goes. If he falls into Xiang Yu's hands, his death will be even worse. Don't worry about it. For the sake of him calling me uncle, I will
It’s not a bad idea to give him a grace period of 10 days.”
"Of course, the premise is that the Qin army on top of the city will really retreat."
"That's right, brother is right, you cultural people just love to think nonsense!"
After Fan Kuai finished yelling, he reminded Liu Bang: "Brother, you are about to enter Xianyang City and become the King of Hanzhong. My sister-in-law is still staying in Peixian County. When will you pick her up?"
"Hey, I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? Just ask Wang Sui and Xue Ou to pick them up later. Let's enjoy ourselves here first. When E-shen comes, it's my turn to take care of them."
"Haha, I understand, I understand!" All the generals laughed, but Zhang Liang was the only one who failed to join the cheerful atmosphere.
He always felt that something was wrong. He picked up the letter and read it, but found nothing wrong.
Thinking that Ziying really had no other way out than surrender, he no longer had any objections. He just suggested: "Let Li Shiqi and Han Fu go to Ba Shang tomorrow to ask Su Du to withdraw his troops, and let's find out the truth by the way."
Liu Bang waved his hand: "I will listen to you, I will listen to you."
At Commander Bashang's Mansion, Han Fu and Li Shiqi had already arrived and showed them the imperial edict issued by Emperor Qin ordering the retreat. After they left, Bai Zhan showed Su Du the tips and tricks Li Feng had given him.
There is a map inside, with a red dot marked on the map. The red dot arrow extends and reads: "The whole army abandons the Bashang Camp and turns here to open up the road to the middle of Shu."
Su Du was very puzzled and looked at Bai Zhan: "How could your Majesty give such an order?"
"You must not disobey His Majesty's orders. Let's withdraw."
"Oh well."
........
Liu Bang was very happy when he saw that the Qin army in Bashang had really retreated.
In order to show his benevolence and righteousness, he actually ordered the army to rest on the spot and not march again. He rewarded Han Fu greatly and made a promise that when he entered Xianyang and became the Queen of Guanzhong, Han Fu would be promoted to the third level.
This guy was so happy that after he returned, he spread the word about Liu Bang's benevolence, which greatly impressed the officials in Xianyang.
What Li Feng morally kidnapped was Liu Bang's vanity in flaunting benevolence and righteousness. It is said that this kind of vanity is a limitation of the times. Except for Li Feng himself, almost everyone here has it to some extent.
They like to abide by loyalty, gentleman's trustworthiness, etc. Isn't this a weakness?
Those who really possess these are relatively few, but it is those high-level counselors. Their characteristic is that they are not afraid of deceit.
Li Feng bet that Liu Bang was very concerned about his reputation at this time, and if he won the bet, he would get a lot of time to retreat.
Lost the bet......
Well, you won't lose, definitely not.
Now, all his cronies have quietly evacuated to the gathering place, everything is going on at a fast pace, and there will be a glimmer of hope no matter what.
Naturally, such a big move cannot be completely concealed. Some thoughtful people discovered the strangeness in Xianyang City and wanted to sneak out of the city to report the news. As a result, they all died at the gate of the city and disappeared completely the next day.
Five days later, Xianyang City looked unchanged. In fact, many officials' mansions were empty. Even the Empress Dowager Li Ji had evacuated.
As for those clans that could not be counted on, Li Feng kept them.
No wonder Li Feng is cruel. In fact, bringing people like them has no effect and may cause chaos. To Li Feng, their value is far less than that of 100 kilograms of hybrid rice seeds.
Keeping these people in Xianyang can confuse Liu Bang and encourage the soldiers.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor can even give up his own relatives, so what else can they say about these little soldiers abandoning some of their relatives and friends.
Soon, it was Li Feng's turn to evacuate on his own, and Wang Chong led the imperial guards to follow him.
"Your Majesty, let's go."
"Have you made arrangements for the dead men who left behind the secret sentry?"
"The arrangements have been made. They are all my confidants and can be trusted."
"Okay, order them to hide on the spot as soon as Liu Bang enters the city. There is no need to carry out the killing mission. If there are unfortunately those who died in the battle, after they arrive in Bashu, they will build a tomb for them and support their families for the rest of their lives."
"Promise, I will eventually understand."
........
A new day of court meeting arrived. Overnight, the emperor disappeared and all the guards in the palace were transferred. The morning court hall was completely without force as a deterrent, but no one felt happy at all.
Thinking of all the weird things in the past few days, several officials headed by the Prime Minister immediately figured out the relationship and quickly sent people to investigate. Then they found that many ministers, their families, and all their children had disappeared.
The two main forces in Xianyang City, the Guard Army and the Lieutenant Army, also don’t know where they went.
Everyone suddenly felt bad, and they suddenly realized that they had been abandoned.
In anger, he quickly sent his servants out of the city to report the news to Pei Gong Liu Bang. However, how could the servants be the opponents of Wang Chong's secret sentry? They were often shot and killed as soon as they arrived at the city gate.
Liu Bang and others did not know the situation in Xianyang City. He had already stationed in Bashang Camp to keep the 10-day appointment.
Li Feng and others have integrated their troops, totaling 20,000 people. Together with the family members accompanying the army, a total of more than 80,000 people have rushed to Bashu.
Li Feng divided the 20,000 people into three teams, and Meng Rui and Bai Zhan met up to lead the 10,000 vanguard troops to clear roads through mountains, build bridges across rivers, and overcome obstacles to clear the way for the army.
Wang Chong and Su Du led five thousand troops to maintain order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to do illegal things.
Li Feng personally took the remaining 5,000 people and officials to break up the rear with the governors of Bashu and Shu to ensure the safety of the troops. The emperor personally broke up the rear, ate and lived with them, and treated them like brothers. He was easy-going and humble, and treated them well.
These people were moved beyond measure.
"Everyone outside said that the Emperor of Qin was cruel and violent, but now His Majesty is able to treat virtuous subordinates and enjoy happiness with the people. As a minister, what else can you say?"
The two county guards and several army leaders from Bashu were very moved, and their originally restless minds were gradually convinced.
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky, this is a poem by Li Bai, the poet of later generations.
In the Qin Dynasty, roads were even less developed. There was only one known entrance and exit to Shu Road, which was extremely difficult. Along the way, the army suffered various attrition, and at this time there were only more than 10,000 people left.
