62 Remove the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron

[New books please collect and recommend!]

Soon, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and others on the south bank of the Wei River also received news from Cao Shen. They learned that the Qin army was retreating and that they had established a foothold on the north bank of the Wei River, so they immediately crossed the river.

"Pei Gong!"

Cao Shen took Fan Kuai, Lu Wan and other generals to greet Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others.

"Cao Shen, you fought well in this battle."

At this time, Liu Bang did not hesitate to praise him and said to Cao Shen and others.

"Thank you Pei Gong for your compliment."

"By the way, how are Guan Ying and Wang Ling's injuries? Take me to have a look immediately."

At this time, it was time for Liu Bang to express condolences to his injured subordinates.

When Liu Bang saw Guan Ying, who was seriously injured and was also wrapped into a rice dumpling, Liu Bang suddenly looked sad and rushed to Guan Ying with tears in his eyes.

"Guan Ying, I've suffered so much for you. Looking at these injuries on your body, it really hurts you and hurts my heart!"

At this time, Liu Bang held Guan Ying's hand with both hands and said with a sad expression.

It has to be said that the old Liu family's method of winning over people is really the same. The uncle Liu of later generations probably inherited the genes of this ancestor.

But I have to say that in this era, a lord can act and be considerate of his subordinates, and the effect is really good. At least Guan Ying was moved by Liu Bang at this time.

"Pei Gong, the baby is fine, he won't die.

When Ying recovers from his injuries, he will still be able to fight with Pei Gong in the world."

Guan Ying was moved by Liu Bang, struggled to get up, and said in an excited voice.

"Okay, don't move. Let's recover from the injury first."

Liu Bang comforted Guan Ying, and then visited Wang Ling, who was also injured, and gave him another "affectionate confession", which also moved Wang Ling so much that he became more and more devoted to Liu Bang.

While Liu Bang was busy 'consoling' the injured Guan Ying and Wang Ling, Zhang Liang did not join Liu Bang. Instead, he summoned Cao Shen, Fan Kuai, and Lu Wan.

"Cao Shen, now you must assemble your troops and horses immediately and march towards Xianyang.

Before crossing the river, I have asked you to carry three days of dry food, and let the soldiers eat a meal of dry food before setting off immediately."

Zhang Liang said to Cao Shen.

"Zifang, it's already dark. Marching at night would be too dangerous.

Furthermore, our soldiers are very tired from the day's hard battle and are not fit to continue their journey.

Even if we attack Xianyang, there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Anyway, we have already crossed the Wei River. Wouldn’t it be better to rest for two days to let the soldiers recuperate and then attack Xianyang City?"

Cao Shen looked at Zhang Liang puzzled and said.

"Cao Shen, do you know that soldiers are valuable and quick? Our army fought hard for a day and was very tired. The Qin army is not the same.

By the time we have rested here, the Qin army may have already made arrangements in Xianyang City.

At that time, the Qin army will rely on the tall walls of Xianyang City, and it will be very difficult for us to attack it.

Furthermore, I will ask you to drive to Xianyang overnight.

What's more important is that while you are fighting hard with the Qin army here, I have sent Xia Houying to lead 6,000 soldiers across the Wei River and go straight to Xianyang to kill.

If the city of Xianyang was empty and Xia Houying succeeded in his surprise attack, Xianyang might have been occupied by Xia Houying at this time.

The Qin army returning to Xianyang from the Wei River will definitely take back Xianyang at all costs when they find out that Xianyang has changed hands. I'm worried that Xia Houying won't be able to hold on."

Zhang Liang quickly explained to Cao Shen and others.

"What? Zifang, you sent Xia Houying to attack Xianyang?"

Sure enough, Cao Shen was also shocked after hearing Zhang Liang's words.

Cao Shen originally thought that Zhang Liang only prepared Lu Wan as a back-up move, but he didn't expect that Zhang Liang actually had a more ruthless move hidden!

But at the same time, Cao Shen and others also became overjoyed.

If it was true as Zhang Liang said, Xia Houying would have taken a detour to attack Xianyang by surprise, and maybe he would have succeeded.

"Haha, you Zhang Liang, what a tactic to draw out the firepower!

If Xia Houying really succeeds in his surprise attack and captures Xianyang, the Qin army who withdrew from here will definitely be dumbfounded when they return to Xianyang City.

I'll make arrangements right away, and the whole army will set off in half an hour at the earliest!"

Cao Shen was so excited that he was shaking all over. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He laughed and said it before returning to the army to make arrangements.

"I'll also make arrangements for his grandmother's work. Don't let Xia Houying take all the credit."

Fan Kuai was also very excited and eagerly returned to his team to regroup his troops.

"Zifang, I will also make arrangements." Lu Wan also left.

"Zifang, do you think Xia Houying can succeed in a surprise attack?"

After Cao Shen and others left, Xiao He looked at Zhang Liang and asked.

At this time, Zhang Liang's face was not as excited as Cao Shen and others. Instead, he looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, I hope he can succeed."

Zhang Liang himself could not guarantee that Zhuge Liang did not leave any backup in Xianyang City.

After these two confrontations, Zhang Liang deeply realized that he had encountered a terrifying opponent, a terrifying opponent who was meticulous and impeccable.

This time, it was Zhang Liang's turn to take the initiative and attack Xianyang with a sudden attack. It was up to Zhuge Liang to see if Zhuge Liang could break the plan.

After Cao Shen and others returned to their respective ministries, they immediately dealt with the soldiers under their command, let them eat some dry food, and then marched towards Xianyang overnight.

As a result, as soon as Cao Shen and others issued this order, they were resisted by Liu Jun's soldiers. They were really tired.

At this time, the clothes of many Liu Jun soldiers were still wet. After several hours of hard fighting, they were exhausted. They had not yet been able to catch their breath for a short while.

They were cold, tired and hungry. Under such circumstances, they were asked to rush towards Xianyang overnight. It would be strange if the soldiers did not resist.

But immediately, Cao Shen also spread the news of Xia Houying's surprise attack on Xianyang, which immediately boosted the morale of Liu Jun's soldiers.

At the same time, Zhang Liang also persuaded Liu Bang and issued an order to allow them to "carnival for three days" after conquering Xianyang.

Except for ordinary people who were not allowed to plunder, the dignitaries in Xianyang City and even the Xianyang Palace were allowed to plunder, and all the seizures belonged to them, in order to encourage these soldiers.

In this time and space, Liu Bang's army is no longer as lucky as it was in the original time and space, and can attack Xianyang all the way without losing any blood.

Only under such circumstances, Liu Bang could make a "three-part agreement" with the Guanzhong elders and establish Liu Bangguang's great image.

But in this time and space, with the arrival of Xu Feng, Liu Bang was firmly blocked outside Xianyang City. Now Liu Bang couldn't care about anything else in order to invade Xianyang.

Zhang Liang had no good solution at this time. Only by using this motivational method to stimulate his soldiers could they be willing to march overnight.

Sure enough, after Liu Bang issued this order, these soldiers were indeed stimulated.

The reason why these soldiers were willing to follow Liu Bang in rebellion was not just to survive and fill their stomachs. Nothing could make these soldiers more excited than this kind of motivation.

Think about it, as the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang City must have had many dignitaries and how much wealth it must have accumulated.

Just the Xianyang Palace is enough to drive these Liu Jun soldiers crazy. They believe that the Xianyang Palace is definitely a treasure trove of gold and silver.

As long as they break in and grab some, it will be enough for them to eat and drink for the rest of their lives.

"Set off!"

Half an hour later, 30,000 Liu Jun soldiers were assembled. This time Zhang Liang personally led the army and marched towards Xianyang overnight.
