"By the way, do you know Liu Bang?" Lu Li suddenly asked.
After thinking for a moment, Tian Zang replied, "Liu Bang... I have some impression of him. He wasn't a remnant of the Six Kingdoms; he seemed to be just a village head."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li was momentarily stunned. The pavilion chief... he was right about everything.
"The head of Sishui Pavilion?" Lu Li asked hurriedly.
Tian Zang nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, he is the head of Sishui Pavilion!"
"His rebel army wasn't large, but he had several fierce generals under his command, who were very capable."
Upon hearing this, Lu Li's face immediately darkened.
He once sent Wei Zhuang to kill all of Liu Ji's men in Pei County, but Liu Bang still appeared in the end.
He couldn't understand why this was happening! Could it be that there really was some divine will at play?
"Was Liu Bang from Pei County?" Lu Li continued to ask.
Tian Zang shook his head and replied, "This humble general does not know, but he has a subordinate named Fan Kuai, who is a peak ninth-level martial artist and is extremely powerful."
After listening to what Tian Zang said, Lu Li fell silent.
Seeing Lu Li fall silent, Tian Zang couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there anything special about Liu Bang?"
"Nothing much. Where is Liu Bang currently stationed?" Lu Li asked.
"He was in Chen Sheng's army!"
Unlike the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, Liu Bang did not have the backing of the former, so he could only rely on Chen Sheng and become Chen Sheng's henchman.
"I understand, you may leave now," Lu Li said.
"promise!"
After Tian Zang left, Lu Li stood up and paced back and forth.
Liu Bang did appear, and he was accompanied by Fan Kuai. So, this Liu Bang is the historical Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang!
But Lu Li really didn't understand why Wei Zhuang, who had killed so many people named Liu Ji, still showed up.
Could it be that they all killed the wrong people?
He didn't believe Wei Zhuang would betray him, so there was only one possibility left!
That is the great trend of Heaven!
Lu Li had long suspected this; when he tried to tell Ying Zheng that the Qin Dynasty would perish after only two generations, he triggered heavenly lightning.
Moreover, no matter how hard he tried afterward, although he changed history, the Qin Dynasty was still thrown into chaos.
How gentle and refined was Fusu before? But after he succeeded to the throne of Qin, his personality changed drastically, and he did exactly the same things as Huhai in history.
Shusun Tong, a Confucian, always upheld the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, yet he seemed to have become like Zhao Gao in history.
It seems as if someone is manipulating everything in the dark. Once there is a huge deviation from the course of history, things will be set right and then return to the general trend.
Therefore, Lu Li suspected that Liu Bang was probably also acting out of a sense of the prevailing trend!
Without Liu Bang, there would have been no Han Dynasty; he was a crucial figure.
Even though Wei Zhuang killed so many people named Liu Ji, Liu Bang would still appear in the end.
Just like when he went to kill Xiang Yu, who would have thought that there was an old monster in the Mohist school who was alive and saved Xiang Yu?
If it weren't for Mo Yun, Lu Li would have succeeded back then, and Xiang Yu would have been dead without a doubt!
Thinking of this, Lu Li took a deep breath and felt intense pressure.
In any case, he would not allow history to repeat itself, otherwise the Qin Dynasty would surely perish!
"Pass down the order: the entire army is to be reorganized and will attack Huaibei with me in three days!" After giving the order, Lu Li immediately walked outside.
Lu Li could not wait any longer. While the six kingdoms were still unstable, he had to immediately quell this rebellion!
He was running out of time; he had to take Huaibei as soon as possible.
...................
Three days later, Lu Li and Zhang Han led an army of 100,000 eastward to attack Huaibei.
When Chen Sheng learned of Wu Guang's defeat and death, he was extremely shocked.
He couldn't believe that Wu Guang had actually lost. He had an army of 200,000! How could he have lost so quickly?
More importantly, the Qin army is now attacking them.
"King Chen, the Qin army is currently at its peak. Should we temporarily avoid their advance?" Liu Bang immediately stepped forward to advise.
Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng frowned slightly.
He also knew that his current situation was very awkward. After all, Xingtai had already fallen, and if he continued to entangle with the Qin army, it would only drag down the fighting capacity of the entire army.
"We cannot retreat! As the King of Chen, I have never fought against the Qin army. If we retreat like this, what will the other lords think of me?" Chen Sheng gritted his teeth and said firmly.
Chen Sheng waved his hand, signaling Liu Bang to shut up. Then he looked at the soldiers below and said in a deep voice, "Fellow soldiers, this time we are facing the Qin army, whose methods are cruel and tyrannical."
"Are you willing to risk everything with me?"
"We swear to follow Prince Chen to the death!"
As soon as Chen Sheng finished speaking, several soldiers below shouted.
Seeing this, Liu Bang immediately curled his lip, secretly cursing in his heart.
These idiots! The Qin army has just won a great victory, and their morale is at its peak.
If we were to attack now, we would only be heading for our deaths.
After everyone had dispersed, Liu Bang immediately summoned Zhou Bo and the others, saying, "Pack your bags, let's get out of here quickly!"
Zhou Bo and the others looked puzzled. A great battle was about to begin, yet Liu Bang wanted to retreat?
"Brother, why are we retreating?" Fan Kuai asked, puzzled.
"snort!"
Liu Bang sneered, "To attack the tyrannical Qin now would be tantamount to suicide!"
Zhou Bo nodded thoughtfully, then said, "What you say makes sense, my lord. The Qin army is currently at its strongest. If we confront them head-on, we will only face certain death. It would be better to temporarily avoid their sharp edge and wait for the right opportunity to make a comeback."
"Yes, you're right, let's retreat first!" Liu Bang nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bo and the others immediately began to tidy up.
Before long, an army of five thousand men withdrew from the camp.
"Brother, is this really a good idea?" Cao Can asked with some concern.
"What's wrong with it?"
Liu Bang snorted coldly and said, "The Qin army is powerful now. If we continue to fight them head-on, we may even destroy our foundation."
Liu Bang was absolutely right. The Qin army was now strong and well-equipped, and its soldiers were all brave and skilled in battle.
They alone could not stop the Qin army.
Therefore, Liu Bang chose to retreat at this critical juncture, to hide for a period of time, and to make a comeback when the time was right.
However, it is somewhat unethical to betray an ally.
Upon seeing this, Cao Jian immediately replied, "Yes, my lord!"
Liu Bang laughed heartily, patted Cao Can on the shoulder, and said, "This matter is settled. The army shall withdraw immediately!"
Following Liu Bang's order, the army immediately set off, disappearing completely into the vast night in less than the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.
The next day, Chen Sheng learned that Liu Bang had fled and was furious.
"Liu Bang! You just wait, I will never let you get away with this!"
Chen Sheng cursed angrily.
He never expected Liu Bang to be such a despicable person, so treacherous and treacherous.
Chen Sheng was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
"Reporting to King Chen, the Qin army is only thirty li away from us!"
