Liu Bang did not expect that the Qin army would also have an ambush to intercept them here. It seemed that it would not be safe to follow Zhang Er and escape.

He rolled on the ground in embarrassment for a while. He endured the pain and got up. He looked over at the carriage. The horse had been killed by a crossbow and the carriage fell to the side. If he had reacted a little slower just now, he knew that he must be the one who died.

.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that the Qin army was not completely surrounded, Liu Bang didn't care about anything. It was important to escape for his life, so he ran out immediately.

The other people protecting Zhang Er were stunned for a while before they came to their senses.

They did not run away, and hurriedly lifted up the carriage to rescue Zhang Er, but Ying Shu had already led the troops to kill all the guards, and finally opened the compartment of the carriage and took down Zhang Er inside.

Zhang Er stumbled, his face was bruised and his nose was swollen, and his whole body was covered with injuries. At this time, he still resisted, but he was kicked to the ground by Ying Shu and said: "Are you the magistrate of Waihuang County? Take him away!"

Two soldiers stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Er and took him back.

Zhang Er has no ability to resist.

The other side.

Liu Bang ran away as fast as he could, and fled into the woods in a panic. When he saw that no one was catching up, he sat down and panted hard.

"Fortunately, I'm alive!"

But jumping off the fast-moving carriage, the injuries on his body were so painful that he gritted his teeth. It felt very uncomfortable.

According to Zhang Er's escape direction, the northeast can go to Shanfu County and enter the territory of Qi State. Now Qin State is attacking Wei State, but it still doesn't know how to deal with Qi State and can escape. This is what Liu Bang originally thought.

After what happened just now, he felt that it was no longer safe to go to Shanfu County.

"It's better to go back to Pei County."

Liu Bang was thinking in his heart.

Peixian County is a city of Chu State, and Qin State should not lead troops to attack Peixian County.

He could see that it was inevitable for Qin to destroy the six eastern kingdoms. The Three Jins were almost gone, and Chu would be destroyed sooner or later. After returning, he could no longer be a ranger. After all, Qin banned this group.

.

"What can we do when we go back? Let's talk about it later!"

Liu Bang murmured in his heart that maybe when Qin destroyed Chu and unified the world, he could still be a Qin official.

With this idea, he no longer went to the northeast, but to the southeast. He did not dare to take the main road, but took various small roads and returned to Peixian County to wait for the opportunity.

——

at this time.

Zhang Tang had already opened the Waihuang City Gate, killed all the Wei soldiers guarding the city, and then welcomed Bai Zhong and others into the city.

Not long after entering the city, Ying Shu also came back with Zhang Er.

They came to the government office together, and Ying Shu asked someone to throw Zhang Er to the ground.

"Those rangers are all your disciples, right?"

The reason why Baizhong wanted to bring Zhang Er back was because he wanted to know who the magistrate of Waihuang was.

In this era, those who could keep a group of rangers as their clients were definitely not ordinary people. In the small county of Waihuang, there were also people who had more than a hundred rangers as their clients. This county magistrate might be a historical celebrity.

Zhang Er had already recovered. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "That's right!"

"What do you call it?"

Bai Zhong asked again.

"Open your ears."

Open your ears.

Open your ears!

The name was quite familiar, and Bai Zhong soon remembered that Liu Bang had once been a retainer under Zhang Er, and that place was their current Waihuang County.

This is a bit of a coincidence.

Ying Zheng and Liu Bang were actually from the same era. Ying Zheng was three years older than Liu Bang.

Bai Zhong asked: "Do you know a man named Liu Bang? He is also called Liu Ji."

"Do you know Liu Ji?"

Zhang Er raised his head in surprise.

When he was escaping just now, Liu Bang was the most active and personally helped him drive the carriage. However, after the carriage turned over, he never saw Liu Bang again and did not know whether he was dead or not.

Bai Zhong continued to ask: "Liu Ji should flee with you, right? Lieutenant Ying, please bring back all the bodies of the people you just intercepted."

After finishing speaking, he was even thinking that the future Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty would not be killed by his subordinates like this, right?

Ying Shu didn't know who Liu Ji was, but she sent people to move the corpses, and soon they were all piled up in the front yard of the government office.

"Please help me see if there is Liu Ji's body in here."

Bai Zhong pointed outside.

Zhang Er couldn't figure out for a while what the relationship between this Qin general and Liu Bang was, but he had become a prisoner of war. He had to go up and look at all the corpses, and finally shook his head and said: "None of them are here."

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bang's body is not here, which means he is still alive and must have escaped.

Ying Shu said: "When we were ambushing and intercepting, we saw a person running away to the northeast. It should be Liu Ji you are looking for. He is only one person. I am too lazy to continue chasing him. But what is the use of looking for him?"

"This person will be very important in the future."

Bai Zhong pondered for a while, then suddenly didn't want to let Liu Bang go, and continued: "Assign a group of people to look for him in the northeast. If he escapes, just flee to the territory of Qi."

He looked at Zhang Er and said: "As for you..."

"Please General, let me commit suicide."

Zhang Er interrupted.

Bai Zhong agreed, waving his hand and saying, "That's fine, let's take him down."

Waihuang was easily captured by them. Baizhong's only regret was that he missed the future Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.

Outside Huang, another three days passed quickly.

After the statistics of the military exploits in the general were announced, the people who went to the northeast to pursue Liu Bang also came back, saying that they could not find anyone. Baizhong did not continue to struggle, and just forgot that he could not find anyone. He reorganized his troops and prepared to attack.

The next county town is Yangwu.

The merit points gained from capturing Waihuang's transformation were only 80, so Bai Zhong added them to his body casually.

Before departure, some scouts came back from Daliang and brought Baizhong the latest news about Wang Ben's army.

The ditch is still being dug. It is said that Wang Ben was worried that his incompetence in water conservancy would slow down the progress of the country's destruction, so he sent people back to Xianyang and invited Zheng Guo, a water conservancy expert at the end of the Warring States Period, to instruct the army on how to dig ditches and how to dig them.

The effect is better.

It's still early before the girders are flooded.

The fourth day after the capture of Waihuang.

"Let's go to Yangwu!"

Baizhong left two thousand men to guard Waihuang, waiting for other Qin officials to take over. All the remaining soldiers followed and left. At the same time, they also received news from Zhang Han and others, and they also captured a city respectively. The progress was not slow.

.

Two days later.

The Qin army arrived outside Yangwu City.

They were not ready to attack the city when the city gate suddenly opened and an old man walked out from the city gate and shouted: "Yangwu County Magistrate Zhang Fu, please surrender!"

"What is he talking about?"

Bai Zhong couldn't understand what the other party said, so he quickly asked someone to find a translator.

Now the Qin Dynasty has not unified the world, and the accents in different places are different. Zhang Er in the past knew the Guanzhong accent, and Ning Teng, Han Wang, Li Mu and Zhao Wang in the past also said that there was no problem in communicating.

But the man in front of him shouted surrender in the dialect of Wei.
Chapter completed!
