Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 493 Cao Wushang's Doubt
Early the next morning, news of Liu Bang's escape had spread throughout the camp.

Although Ji Xin pretended to be pretty in Liu Bang's camp, Liu Bang was not the only one missing in the whole camp, even Liu Bang's main confidantes from Peixian County, Li Shiqi, Zhang Liang and other counselors disappeared together.

The soldiers didn't dare to say anything, and the generals of the non-Pei county department naturally wanted to ask Liu Bang for clarification, so they found out that Liu Bang had also run away, and now it was Ji Xin who was in Liu Bang's army account.

Seeing this scene, these people still don't understand that Liu Bang and his direct descendants have fled for their lives.

What he said about the rear rations was probably just a lie to appease people like himself, otherwise they wouldn't need to run away at all.

"Ji Xin, what else do you have to say!"

The one who spoke was Cao Wushang, Zuo Sima in the army. Although he and Liu Bang were fellow villagers, he was not very lovable. Liu Bang treated him indifferently, so he was one of the few who fled this time as Liu Bang's old subordinates. , but was dropped.

"I have nothing to say, but I hope you don't want to blame Liu Ji. This day's fault is not a crime of war. Liu Ji'er is the only one who can rule the world." After finishing speaking, he silently closed his eyes as if he was relieved from a heavy burden: "Do it!" Come on, Ji Xin will take a step first."

"As you wish!" Following Cao Wushang's words, a sword light flashed across the dim tent, and Ji Xin——dead.

"It's too cheap for him!" A general looked at Ji Xin's corpse and said indignantly.

"This righteous man, the only fault is that I mistrusted Liu Bang, a vain villain." Cao Wushang said, after all, he and Ji Xin are also from the same hometown. Ji Xin is probably in a situation where life would be worse than death.

Cao Wushang ordered two people to pull Ji Xin's body out, and the atmosphere in the entire military tent suddenly became suppressed.

The reason why they were full of hope before was because they believed that the military rations that Li Shiqi and Liu Bang said would arrive soon, but now that the two parties involved have run away, and the follow-up military rations have also come to naught, it can be said that they stay here. There is no way out.

"I have a plan to save my life." Cao Wushang suddenly stirred up the air that was about to freeze.

One sentence immediately made everyone turn their eyes to Cao Wushang's direction.

"Are you talking about surrendering to the Qin army?" a general asked aloud.

"That's right!" Cao Wushang replied, "Now that our army is running out of food and grass, and our soldiers have no intention of fighting, maybe Wancheng's chasing army will catch up and make dumplings for us.

And now we are afraid that if we want to follow the example of Liu Ji, we will not be able to escape. "

The news that Liu Bang and a group of generals have escaped has spread in the army, and the soldiers will definitely keep an eye on the rest of them to prevent them from copying and running away.

And what Liu Bang did was so extreme that when he left, he searched all the food that was left.

"So now we have no other way out but to surrender to the Qin army." Cao Wushang said.

Cao Wushang's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

"What if the Qin army follows Wu'an's old example?" One general expressed his worries. In fact, this is what all generals worry about.

"General Xu is worrying too much, everyone, don't forget who the Wuguan belongs to now!" Cao Wushang said.

"Prince Qin's baby." A general replied, everyone knows that Wuguan is now in the hands of King Qin.

"That's right, Prince Qin." Cao Wushang continued to ask: "Didn't you all hear that King Qin had the title of 'virtuous king' back then? King Qin fought all his life, but have you ever heard that King Qin had the act of killing prisoners? .”

Now the Kwantung has become a mess, whether it is the rebel army against the cities loyal to the Qin army, or the Qin army against the cities that rebelled against the Great Qin, both sides will directly slaughter the cities at every turn.

As for the killing of prisoners when the army rations are insufficient, it is even more common.

The generals have stayed in this bloody and chaotic world for several years, and they are used to everything the winners do to the losers, but they forgot that when the Qin army attacked the six countries, as long as the war led by the king of Qin, surrender There seems to be no precedent for the army being slaughtered.

"Furthermore, according to reports, King Qin and Zhao Gao are fighting fiercely in Xianyang, and I will join King Qin's command, maybe it's the right time!" Cao Wushang continued to analyze.

When Cao Wushang said this, the eyes of the generals in the military camp suddenly lit up. Now that King Qin and Zhao Gao are fighting, what they need most is external help. Now that he leads these 10,000+ people to vote, maybe he can not only save them Life, or even being appointed as an official or worshiping a noble is possible.

"Then what are you waiting for, don't hurry up and surrender to King Qin." Immediately, the impatient general said impatiently.

……

Hearing the surrender of the army under the Wuguan City, Ziying was mixed with joy and sorrow. He was happy that the war could end without bloodshed, but worried that Liu Bang ran away, ran away, ran away...

Ziying originally planned to wait for Liu Bang to be too hungry to crawl, to see if the style of the Han Taizu in his previous life was the same as the rascal in history.

Facts have proved that although he is not in the same time and space, Liu Bang still has the same temper. In Ziying's previous life, Liu Bang was able to throw his children off the carriage while fleeing. In this life, Liu Bang can leave 10,000+ troops and run away with a few cronies.

Cao Wushang's decision was very wise, because in the afternoon of the same day, the Qin army in Wancheng came to the Wuguan city to meet with the Wuguan defenders as planned. Then he returned to Wancheng.

The Qin army in Wancheng was not surprised at the result of the war. For the king of Qin, if he needed to rely on the personal qualities of the Qin army to defeat Liu Bang head-on, it would not be the king of Qin.

As for Cao Wushang, they have completely abandoned the original idea that the Qin army would value them, because after they entered Wuguan, they suddenly discovered that the Wuguan city was full of hidden Qin troops, and every Qin army was armed. to the teeth.

Obviously, Wuguan is not as vulnerable as it appears on the surface, but a prehistoric beast waiting to devour them.

After Cao Wushang and other generals entered Wuguan, the Qin army came to lead them and said: "The emperor has an edict, so hurry up and see him!"

Hearing Qin Jun's words, Cao Wushang and the others were immediately in awe. After all, the word emperor is a symbol of supremacy, and at the same time, they were a little puzzled.

Why did the second emperor come to the front line of Wuguan? Could it be that the king of Qin had broken through Xianyang city and killed Zhao Gao, but after thinking about it, what happened to Zhao Gao's letter of alliance?

Since he couldn't figure it out, he asked others. Cao Wushang carefully approached the Qin army and asked, "General, why did the second emperor come to the front line of Wuguan, and what is the current situation in Guanzhong?"

When Cao Wushang asked this, the ears of all the generals immediately pricked up, and Cao Wushang's question was also a puzzle for all of them.

"The Second Emperor is not in power now." The Qin Jun glanced at Cao Wushang like a bumpkin and said, "After the Qin Army broke through Wuguan, Zhao Gao killed the Second Emperor in disorder, and the left and right prime ministers killed Zhao Gao to welcome the King of Qin. , for the third emperor, this was already seven or eight days ago."

This is the news that everyone in Guanzhong knows, and Qin Jun didn't hide it at all.

Seven or eight days ago, plus the time on the road, Cao Wushang immediately realized something was wrong. According to this time calculation, when Liu Bang received Zhao Gao's letter of alliance that day, Zhao Gao had already died.

Moreover, according to Qin Jun, Zhao Gao had no chance to become king, so he was led by Li Si to kill him.

Thinking about it this way, Cao Wushang immediately cleared his mind. The letter of alliance that Liu Bang received that day must have been forged by King Qin... No, it was forged by the third emperor. Unable to tell the truth from the falsehood, he rushed forward lightly.

Little did he know that there was a hard rock hidden inside this delicious pie, and every move of his side was under the control of the third emperor.
