"Master, something bad has happened. Those untouchables betrayed us when they heard there was food."
Chu Zhan had just returned to the base after parting with Eagle when one of his subordinates hurriedly ran up to him and said with a grim expression.
"How shameless to be in such a hurry!"
"Isn't this to be expected?"
"Calm down, everyone."
After glaring fiercely at the subordinate who was reporting, Chu Zhan said in a cold tone.
When Chu Zhan was forced by Zhao Xin to jump off the cliff, he guessed what would happen next.
The drought in the north seems very serious, but in fact it is not unsolvable.
In the past, Zhao Xin was able to transport food in, but he could not solve the problem of water resources.
Therefore, it is very difficult to resolve the rebellion in the north.
But after Zhao Xin obtained the underground river, he could easily solve the problem.
There is a lot of water in the underground river, enough for the people in the north to eat and drink.
Solving the problem of food and drink can make many people change their minds.
After all, who would choose to rebel if they could have food to eat?
In addition, Zhao Xin’s policies are very good.
Those common people would not be punished after surrendering to the Qin Empire, so who would stay and rebel?
After taking a cautious look at Chu Zhan, the reporting subordinate slowly calmed down.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
No matter how panicked he was, it would be of no use for what had already happened.
The most important thing now is to solve the problem of ordinary people defecting.
"Tell me how many people ran away."
Seeing that his men had regained their composure, Chu Zhan nodded in satisfaction, sat on the chair, took a sip of tea and asked.
"Master, we've roughly counted and found that at least 40% of the people have defected from us."
"If we don't respond, there's a high probability that more people will be betrayed by us."
After looking at Chu Zhan cautiously, the subordinate took a deep breath and said a series of shocking numbers.
"What? Say it again."
Chu Zhan, who was originally very calm, almost popped his eyes out when he heard the report from his subordinates.
Although he had already anticipated that someone would betray him.
But he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, nearly half of his people had betrayed him.
This is simply unacceptable.
Chu Zhan thought that at most only one or two percent of the people would betray him.
But now it was beyond his expectations.
This made Chu Zhan a little at a loss.
"Master, 40% of the people have betrayed us."
The subordinate swallowed and replied cautiously.
"These untouchables are willing to do anything just to get a little food."
"Wouldn't it be nice to follow me and overthrow the rule of the Qin Empire?"
"If I were to control the Great Qin Empire, I would have everything I want to eat and drink."
"What a bunch of short-sighted bastards."
After confirming that nearly half of the people had betrayed him, Chu Zhan couldn't help but curse.
Without so many people, the subsequent planning of the Chu War would not be so easy.
And all this was caused by Zhao Xin.
If Zhao Xin was in front of Chu Zhan, Chu Zhan would probably have rushed up and fought Zhao Xin to the death.
"Master, what should we do now?"
After waiting for a long time, until Chu Zhan was no longer so angry, the subordinate finally asked.
"What should we do? Do you still need me to teach you?"
"Keep the remaining people under control and don't let them betray us again."
"As long as we can keep a firm grip on these people, we still have a chance to turn things around."
After spitting, Chu Zhan couldn't help but raise his voice a few degrees.
Chu Zhan attaches great importance to those who are still willing to follow him.
Those who remain must be kept under firm control.
If the remaining people betray him, he will be left alone.
At that time, facing the extremely powerful Qin Empire, he had no chance of resistance at all.
At that time, if you wanted to overthrow the Qin Empire, you would have to slowly look for opportunities.
Having waited so long for this opportunity, how could Chu Zhan let it go so easily?
"I understand, Master."
After nodding heavily, the subordinate began to spread Chu Zhan's order.
"Those who surrendered have already died without a burial place."
"The Qin Empire's army has begun to encircle and suppress us!"
"This is not a place we can stay in. Let's run away."
Such a voice suddenly emerged among the rebels.
In order to prevent the remaining rebels from being betrayed, Chu Zhan was prepared to let them abandon the cities they had already captured.
Chu Zhan planned to take these rebels into the deep mountains and forests.
There are not many people in those deep mountains and forests.
It's long enough to stay hidden.
Chu Zhan was originally a bandit.
He has long been familiar with this line of work.
He didn't believe that Zhao Xin could deal with him if he hid himself.
"Really? I didn't expect the Qin Empire to be so cruel and ruthless."
"In that case, let's run."
"If we are caught, we will die."
"We have to run! The farther the better. Only in this way can we survive."
After hearing this false news, the rebels did not dare to delay and followed their leader out of the captured city and fled to the wilderness.
