"Pei Gong, there is another thing that villains don't know whether to talk about it or not..." Just as Liu Bang was imagining the future, the scout kneeling on the ground said this carefully.

"Isn't your tongue broken by a poisonous creature today? Why are you so hesitant? If you have any more words, you will go to the forest to feed the beasts tonight!"

Originally, after Xiao He left Pei County without saying goodbye, he suddenly became the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang felt a little uncomfortable. When he was a bandit, he wanted to fool Xiao He and Cao Shen to his side like Fan Kuai. Xiao He was gone, and Liu Bang knew that there were almost no ones who could catch up with Xiao He among the people under him.

At this moment, the scout who had told him something that made him feel frustrated and began to make trouble again, so Liu Bang naturally would not give him a good face.

"Pei Gong, on the way to investigate, the villain heard the words of the tribes along the way. Not long after we entered Nanhai County, Xiang Yu was defeated by the Emperor of Qin, and then led about 10,000 troops to escape. The route of his escape was from this way. I am afraid that most of them would go to Yelang, or leave the Central Plains to the Yuezhi or the Xiongnu land..."

As soon as these words were said, Liu Bang immediately fell into contemplation for a while.

Xiang Yu would sooner or later be defeated, he had expected it when he ran away.

However, Liu Bang did not expect Xiang Yu to be defeated so thoroughly. In his opinion, Xiang Yu had more or less some Jiangdong background. Even if he was defeated, he would be done with his men and horses back to Jiangdong to revive the situation. However, this revive will take several years to come.

But he was fucked so suddenly that he ended up with him. Liu Bang didn't turn this in his heart for a while. Xiang Yu's subordinates seemed to be both civil and military. Not to mention anything else, Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang were no less capable than Xiao He. In addition, Long Jian, Zhong Li and other generals who were far more powerful than Fan Kuai would not have been killed by Qin soldiers...

"I already know this. You go down and continue to investigate in Nanhai County. Once the soldiers sent by Fusu have any movement, they must inform me!"

After the scout left, Liu Bang looked at his right-hand men in the room and sighed a long time. It turned out that his face, which was still indifferent, immediately showed a sad look.

"Why is Pei Gong like this? Xiang Yu is a very happy person. He is only over twenty years old. He actually fantasized about destroying such a large Qin. If there is such a defeat, there will be such a defeat..."

Xiahou Ying has been living with Liu Bang since he was a child. He knew that Liu Bang was obviously a bit sad. Seeing that Xiang Yu, who had the biggest head in front of him, could not escape the fate of being ruined by Qin Bing, he was a little deflated for a moment.

So Xiahou Ying quickly patted Liu Bang's flattery, trying to make Liu Bang find his confidence. After all, Liu Bang was still following them with thousands of mouths. If he could get here this way, he would not even have any military rations in the later period. How difficult it was to Xiahou Ying.

"That is, all the rest of us are very loyal to Pei Gong. Once we can get rid of Fusu's pursuers this time, we will be able to go to Xiangjun. If we wait for a year or two, we will conquer some local tribes in Xiangjun and strengthen our army. Why do we fear Fusu? I have heard that Yelang, who is adjacent to Xiangjun, is also extremely weak. In less than two or three years, we can take Yelang, and then advance to attack and retreat to defend. What does Pei Gong think?"

Needless to say, Fan Kuai is the only one who can say such words loudly without blushing and heartbeat. Although Fan Kuai said this in fact just to make Liu Bang regain his confidence, he might have believed this first after saying it.

After Xiahou Ying and Fan Kuai finished talking, the remaining people expressed their thoughts to Liu Bang, and of course they were all words to comfort Liu Bang. Liu Bang was their banner. If Liu Bang lost his energy, what would happen to them? These people naturally knew them well.

In fact, Liu Bang was not very discouraged. He had experienced almost all kinds of things in his half life. He really didn't care much about life and death. Otherwise, how could he delay major events because of drunkenness when he was escorted to the prisoner?

The reason why he sighed was because he discovered that the new Emperor Ying Gao of the Qin Dynasty seemed to be more powerful than his father, Emperor Shi.

In Liu Bang's mind, his goal was quite grand. He not only wanted to live on this acre of three-point land in Nanyue and die of old age after spending more than ten years. He also had a dream in his heart, and this dream was not small. Otherwise, why would he have to mess with so many people following him?

But what happened, including Xiao He who went to Xianyang Palace for some reason, became the left prime minister, and Xiang Yu who was defeated by Ying Gao for some reason, could not be completely defeated.

There are also the three new policies implemented by Ying Gao. In the eyes of a person who has served as a pavilion leader at the grassroots level, they are almost all for consolidating Ying Gao's own rule. If these three new policies become a climate, whether they are scholars, masters of various schools, or the head of the Qin Dynasty, they will definitely be grateful to Emperor Ying Gao, who is not afraid of it.

At that time, if a noble from the six countries wants to yell at the anti-Qin period, then it will be reported by his neighbor before leaving his home, and then there will be no more.

In the mind of Liu Bang, an old hooligan who lived for fifty years, why do Ying Gao's tricks seem to be similar to those he often uses in Pei County? But he is just a pavilion chief who is not bad in Pei County, but it is different. The entire Qin Dynasty belongs to others, so compared with Ying Gao's troubles, he really can't get on the table.

"Cao Wushang, you will lead fifty elites and horses to return to Pei County tomorrow and bring your wife and all of us here. If I leave, I will send a scout to wait here. When you enter Xiang County, you need to return as soon as possible and not delay. Since we still attracted the attention of the Qin soldiers, I am afraid that the climate in Pei County has changed now. Once the hiding place of our family members is discovered by the Qin people, it will be a bad thing!"

What everyone did not expect was that Liu Bang, who had always been unwilling to care much about his family, actually gave such an order first after learning about his situation.

Before, they did think that they would not show off their mountains and water, and Qin Bing must have not noticed them, but now things obviously seem to be different from what they imagined. Fusu has already paid attention to this level. If Peixian does not take advantage of his own way of retreat, it will not be Ying Gao who can defeat Xiang Yu.

This matter is a big deal for everyone in Liu Bang's camp, so Cao Wushang, who was named, dared not be entrusted. He knew that among those under Liu Bang, it would be okay to be called both civil and military, then it would be him.

If it were Fan Kuai's words, maybe he had just arrived in Pei County and hadn't waited for anything, but someone would have reported it directly.

"Pei Gong is lenient. Even if someone cannot return, he will definitely send Pei Gong's wife and son to Xiangjun safely!"

Cao Wushang's statement made Liu Bang feel a little relieved. Although his wife, Lu Zhi, was a little strict with her, and with her around, any woman who had a little bit of a relationship with her might be unlucky, but Liu Bang knew that those women were just for warming the quilt, and Lu Zhi seemed to be more than just warming the quilt.

Moreover, there was not only one Lu Zhi who stayed on the mountain around Pei County, but also his son Liu Fei. Although Liu Fei was born to Widow Cao in the county before, he was also his own child. Besides, Widow Cao is dead now, so he can't treat his son badly, right?

Another one is that when the last time I sent someone back to ensure the safety of Lu Zhi and Liu Fei, Lu Zhi once asked someone to send him a letter, in which Lu Zhi said that he might have been pregnant for several months.

After Liu Bang received this news, he was also worried for a while, saying that he had been leaving Pei County for several months, so why did he suddenly get pregnant?

However, after Liu Bang found a local doctor for consultation, and combined with what Lu Zhi said in her heart that she had pregnancy time, Liu Bang silently calculated, as if he was really in line with the few moments he had done before leaving.

Now, Liu Bang knew that if this child was born, he would probably be one year old. He didn't even know whether he was a man or a woman, and he didn't even get a name. If he never saw this in his life, he would be a huge regret.

It was fake to say that Liu Bang didn't think about bringing Lu Zhi and the others to his side along the way, but he was in danger. He wouldn't know where he was today and tomorrow. He was getting a bottle of old and young. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if he was in a war?

But now, Pei County is no longer a safe place for them to live in, and he has already penetrated into this Nanyue land. It is not so easy for Fusu to catch him, so Liu Bang gritted his teeth and just took them all over now. If he is lucky, he would have found a place to stay in Xiangjun or Guilin when Cao Wushang came back.

The next day, Cao Wushang, with fifty elite soldiers and generals carefully selected by Liu Bang, and in the costumes of Qianshou of Nanhai County, disappeared into the dense surroundings. After such a long marching, the people under Liu Bang's command had nothing to do with other abilities, but they had developed the ability to march in the jungle. Of course, this was also exchanged for the lives of their companions.

While Ying Gao was busy implementing the new policy and staring at Liu Bang who ran to Nanhai County, while Liu Bang was busy running from Nanhai County to another place, Xiang Yu, who was once the limelight on the land of Daqin, was also facing a choice in his life.

It has been more than a year since Xiang Yu arrived on the territory of the Huns.

Over the past year, Xiang Yu has lived on Maodun's territory with mixed joys and sorrows. What he is happy is that Maodun really treats Xiang Yu as a guest, just as he promised to Xiang Yu, and has designated an area for him, so that Xiang Yu and other tribes of the Huns lived together. When the winter came, he also sent Xiang Yu food for all ages. At the beginning, he treated Xiang Yu as his ancestor.

When winter passed, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers who returned to Xiang Yu had recovered almost the same. During this period, Xiang Yu took advantage of the severe winter to recruit many hungry and cold Xiongnu teenagers in the territory where he temporarily lived, and organized them into his own team.

After all, in this cannibalistic place, only by constantly improving one's combat power can one always be valued by the Huns. Xiang Yu still knows this very well.

Even in winter, Maodun brought Xiang Yu hundreds of women he got from the war of the He Donghu tribe. At first, Xiang Yu didn't want these women very much, but after Zhang Liang's persuasion, he accepted them, for nothing else, just for Zhang Liang's words: These thousands of soldiers are all young men in their twenties. You can't let them eat or practice every day. Who can stand this?

Sure enough, after accepting those women and dividing these women according to the military merits of the soldiers under Xiang Yu, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers reached a higher level. Those who have women are grateful to Xiang Yu, and those who are not women are ready to try it out next time...

But when spring came, Xiang Yu found that the delicious food and drink were serving him, and his purpose seemed to be not as simple as he had imagined before.

Because on the grassland where the Huns are located, spring represents the season of mating, such as horses, cows, sheep, and their belly are gradually getting bigger. Of course, people are no exception. Human mating is not divided into seasons, and this has not changed in the Huns.

In addition to mating, Xiang Yu did not know until spring that this season was the season when tribes on the grassland fought against each other to grab territory. Because it was time to grazing soon. At this time, which tribe had a larger pasture, the tribe would eventually get more resources and a virtuous cycle. So, at this time, many tribes were frequently conquering each other.
