With laughter, Liu Bang quickly appeared in the tent.

Cao Can greeted him.

"Pei Gong, you came just in time, and I have something to look for you."

Liu Bang's expression changed slightly at this time, and he said,

"Brother Cao has something to do with me, but it doesn't matter if you say it."

He is here to persuade and test the other party, and of course he has to wait for an opportunity to act.

Cao Can didn't realize the other party's small movements, so naturally he took out the prepared document and said,

"Pei Gong has now started spring, and the grass road has been restored."

"In the past few days, I have seen that the number of slaves in the camp seems to be increasing again. Many military forces actually use the pretext of training to rob small western city-states."

"I heard that General Lu and General Zhou Bo led people to pursue the remnants of the Huns this time, but some sergeants refused the military order and wanted to loot."

"This matter damages the majesty of our army, and it also damages the discipline of the army."

When they took over the Daqin cavalry, the military discipline was strict, and the combat effectiveness of the sergeants was also extremely strong.

But now it is unheard of for Qin troops above the centurion level to lead their subordinates to loot.

Listening to Cao Can's words, Liu Bang's face became slightly embarrassed.

Of course he knew about these things, and it could even be said that he was the one who contributed to it.

He didn't let go, these people didn't have the guts, Daqin's military law is not a decoration.

But soon his heart moved, this matter is indeed a violation of military law, but it is a good way to test the opponent.

If the other party can't even do things that violate military discipline for his sake, let alone betray Da Qin with him.

So he deliberately made an embarrassed look, and then slowly sighed,

"Ugh…"

Cao Can quickly asked,

"Pei Gong has something unspeakable to hide, he can say it and he will do his best next time."

Liu Bang gave a wry smile at the right time, and then said,

"Brother Cao, you also know the situation of our army now."

"This place is very far from Daqin County. It is difficult to supply ten bags of rice. Only one bag is left. The soldiers have a hard life."

"The reason why I do business with those businessmen is to subsidize the soldiers."

Cao Can nodded at this time. He knew that what the other party said was the truth. It was not easy to supply supplies on the grassland.

But this can't be an excuse to rob people and sell slaves, so I went back,

"Pei Gong, the soldiers are on an expedition to this place, and the government has its own military awards and titles..."

Just before the other party finished speaking, Liu Bang shook his head and interrupted,

"Brother Cao, the soldiers are also human beings. There are wives and children in the family. It didn't count before. Since the war with the Huns, many soldiers have not returned for three or five years."

"How can the government's military merit rewards satisfy the soldiers?"

"Although they can be rotated back now, most of the soldiers still have to be stationed in the grasslands. You know the hardships involved. If you don't let them earn some money, it will be hard to use the military heart."

He was able to gather his own men so quickly because he understood the psychology of the soldiers.

Cao Can immediately fell silent. In terms of grasping people's hearts and leading the overall situation, he was indeed inferior to Liu Bang.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bang narrowed his eyes slightly at this time. He was about to test the other party. He quickly said,

"Brother Cao said that you are a talented person, but when you shared the military merits this time, you only got a small title, and I am not worth it for you."

"It's better to hoard more goods here, and life will be better in the future."

"Now the Huns and those city-states in the west are at war. It's my chance to wait. If you don't dislike it, why don't you go there with me."

After Liu Bang finished speaking, he stared at Cao Can closely, watching the other party's reaction.

Cao Can was stunned for a moment. In fact, when he heard about the beginning, he wanted to refute it. The Qin army's military law is based on merit and reward, and military merit has always been fair.

He doesn't feel that he has been wronged.

Just when he heard the words behind the other party, he already realized that something was wrong.

The other party is blatantly pushing him to violate the military law!

He was about to refuse but suddenly remembered the secret letter from His Royal Highness that he had just received.

It said that no matter what order Liu Bang gave him, he must obey first.

He is not a stupid person, and he understood something almost instantly in his heart.

His Royal Highness seemed to have taken precautions against Liu Bang, and even anticipated that the other party would violate military law.

Then myself...

Thinking of this, Cao Can glanced at the other party with a very complicated expression, and then said slowly,

"Pei Gong's reasoning is being abrupt, and he is willing to go with Pei Gong."

Hearing this, Liu Bang laughed almost immediately and said,

"Okay, okay, with Brother Cao's help, I will definitely get what I want."

Of course, he noticed Cao Can's hesitation, but this is normal. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will hesitate for a while. With the other party's temperament, it would be a ghost if he directly agreed.

Soon he took out a bag of gold from his arms and said,

"Brother Cao has worked hard these days. This is the harvest of this slave trade, and everyone has a share."

In fact, he still learned this trick from Zhao Lang. Xiang Bo had told him how good Zhao Lang was to him before.

Moreover, there is another meaning. After receiving the money, he is his own person, and the other party also has stains on him.

This time, I didn't hesitate too long for breakfast, I took the purse and went back.

"Then thank you, Pei Gong."

Liu Bang said with a smile,

"I'll be a good brother of Qingbi Jinjian from now on, so there's no need to be so polite."

"Brother Cao, I won't disturb you if you are busy first. We will set off for the west in the morning tomorrow."

After speaking, he got up and left.

After Liu Bang left, Cao Can took up the money bag left by the other party with a complicated look, and muttered to himself,

"Pei Gong, don't do anything stupid."

He can now be sure that Liu Bang's actions were already within His Royal Highness's expectations.

I am a hidden weapon, but who knows if there are other arrangements.

Early the next morning, Liu Bang took his people to the west.

A dozen days later, a small city-state outside the northwestern frontier of Daqin Xindi.

At this time, the low city wall was full of citizens of the city-state, and they watched in extreme horror at another city-state where smoke and dust were rising in the distance, and there was a faint sound of mourning.

"Father, why don't we save people? My fiancee is there!"

The little prince of the city-state at the top of the city wall said very anxiously to his father.

At this time, the city lord just shook his head with a pale expression and said,

"Those are extremely powerful beings of the Huns. They are just passing by and we don't want to provoke them, and they can't afford to provoke them."

After the previous war, the notoriety of destroying the Xiongnu has already started in this city-state.

Just when he said this~lightnovelpub.net~ as soon as he arrived at the smoke, he quickly came here, and when he got close, he saw a pair of Huns cavalry with at least a thousand people.

In an instant, everyone's faces turned pale.

Although there are tens of thousands of people in their city, there are not many soldiers.

Just when everyone was a little desperate, suddenly a team of cavalry with no more than 100 people came out from the side and directly blocked the way of the Xiongnu cavalry.

The two sides did not know what to say, and after a while, the Hun cavalry with thousands of people slowly retreated.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the little prince asked,

"Who are those people, King Father? How can a hundred people drive away so many people?"

The city lord replied with a complicated expression,

"Those are Qin people."

"Qin people?"

The little prince's eyes lit up instantly and said loudly,

"I want to be a Qin person too."

It's just that before his words were finished, that group of Qin's cavalry arrived in front of their city gate and shouted,

"The Daqin cavalry is here, surrender or destroy!"

In an instant, the entire city fell silent.
