Cao Shen and the other two rushed to the east gate of the inner city. As Cao Shen expected, the outer city had just been broken, and the war broke out.

Although not many Qin troops rushed into the inner city, it will be a matter of time before the inner city is captured by the Qin army.

The primary goal of the Qin army entering the city was naturally the Qin Emperor's Palace.

So, fortunately they left early, otherwise they would be doomed.

"Xiahou, Zhou Bo, our troops are divided into two groups. You will take Pei Gong north and I will go west to attract the Qin army and delay time for you!"

Cao Shen looked at the city gate behind him, and turned his head toward Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying and others in front of him.

"Cao Shen, the Qin army's target is Pei Gong. How do you attract the Qin army?" Zhou Bo asked afterwards.

When he thought that now was a time when he was working together, dividing troops was tantamount to seeking death.

But Cao Shen seemed to have his own plans, but saw him turn his head and look at Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, Cao Shen knows that you doubt Cao Shen's loyalty, but Cao Shen has a clear conscience. If Pei Gong believes in Cao Shen, then follow Cao Shen's plan!"

"What do you mean?" Liu Bang frowned.

As Cao Shen said, he did doubt Cao Shen's loyalty, and when Cao Shen proposed to divide the troops, his first reaction was that Cao Shen wanted to join the Qin army.

After all, it is easy to die in the debate if you follow me and others.

However, he was curious about Cao Shen’s plan, so he had this question.

Cao Shen said sincerely: "I plan to put on Pei Gong's robe and pretend that Pei Gong is fighting with the Qin army. If the Qin army pursues it relentlessly, Pei Gong can escape. If unfortunately being shot and killed by the Qin army, then Pei Gong can only wish Pei Gong the good luck!"

"What?! Do you want to wear Pei Gong's robe to lure the enemy?" Xiahou Ying said in surprise.

It is very dangerous to lure the enemy, especially if there are pursuers later. Once the enemy generals are determined to be unable to catch up in a short time, they will definitely order arrows to be fired at once. Even if they are shot, the pursued person will not be allowed to escape.

This happens from time to time on the battlefield.

After hearing Cao Shen’s plan, Liu Bang was slightly moved, but finally shook his head and refused, "No matter what your plan is, I will not let you get what you want. If you want to leave, leave!"

"Pei Gong——!"

Cao Shen shouted in annoyance, and Liu Bang turned a deaf ear.

Xiahou Ying and Zhou Bo, who were beside each other, looked at each other silently.

At this time, the general behind him suddenly shouted: "Qin army, Qin army is chasing us!"

"Hurry, cover Pei Gong's evacuation!"

When Cao Shen heard the shout, he immediately ordered, and then turned to look at Xiahou Ying and Zhou Bo: "Are you going to watch Pei Gong die by the two generals?"

"this......"

Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying showed hesitation, looked at Cao Shen, then looked at Liu Bang, exchanged their eyes with each other, and then without saying a word, he began to pull Liu Bang's robe.

"Hey, hey, what are you going to do? Be presumptuous! You are presumptuous-!"

When Liu Bang saw Zhou Bo and the other two take off their clothes, he shouted again.

But no one paid attention to him when he screamed.

In this way, Cao Shen got Liu Bang's robe and wore it on his body, which was quite a bit like Liu Bang's outfit. So he bowed respectfully to Liu Bang and rode his horse eastward.

Liu Bang and his group fled north.

Behind them, the strangely shaped new city of Pinyang was shouting and killing the sky. The war was flying, and countless Han soldiers were trapped in a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

But they couldn't care about so many people. A group of more than a thousand people ran along the river.

After walking for about twenty miles, they began to lose their energy.

After all, more than three hours have passed since last night, and they have not eaten any of the rice.

Seeing a relatively hidden forest ahead, Xiahou Ying said to Liu Bang: "Pei Gong, how about we rest here for a while? The soldiers have been struggling all night and are already exhausted!"

"Okay, let's take a break first and send someone to guard the surroundings to avoid being fooled by that boy Zhao Kun!" Liu Bang waved his hand and immediately stopped the war horse.

Since he had escaped, of course he could not die generously. After all, it would be better to live without a single life than to die.

If it were not forcibly, who would have thought of dying?

Hearing Xiahou Ying's order, the elite Han army soldiers who had been running all night breathed a sigh of relief, all of them fell off their horses, laying on the ground, gasping for breath.

About a moment later, a Han army sat up and started eating dry food, drinking water and eating.

At this time, Zhou Bo walked to Liu Bang, squatted down and said, "Pei Gong, there is no news from General Cao yet. Should we send someone to inquire about the situation?"

"Need not."

Liu Bang refused decisively: "Cao Shen is not a lamp that makes oil. If he escapes, he will definitely come to me. If he cannot escape, he will come to us, which is a problem!"

Hearing this, Zhou Bo frowned slightly and immediately asked, "What should we do next?"

"Cao Shen said to go to the Taiyue Mountains, I think it's too far. It's better to change to another enemy..."

Liu Bang said, thinking for a while, and said, "I think we should just go to Longxi!"

"Longxi?"

Zhou Bo's pupils shrank and he said in surprise: "Isn't Longxi Zhao Kun's military base?"

"Yes, Pei Gong, when we go to Longxi, wouldn't we seek death?" Xiahou Ying said in confusion.

But Liu Bang smiled and said, "As the saying goes, the most dangerous enemy is the safest enemy. Zhao Kun is very tricky and must have guessed our escape route long ago. If I guessed it well, there would definitely be a large army waiting for us in front!"

"But we go the other way and go to the place he is most unlikely to guess, and there may be a glimmer of hope!"

"But......"

Zhou Bo still hesitated: "We can't stay for a long time even if we go to Longxi!"

"Who said we were going to stay for a long time? We were raiding Longxi and then heading westward, heading towards the Western Regions!" Liu Bang said in a deep voice.

"Western Regions?"

Xiahou Ying and Zhou Bo looked at each other and their eyes lit up immediately.

The countries in the Western Regions are complicated and once they escape into the Western Regions, they will be muddy bulls entering the sea. Even if Zhao Kun wants to capture him and others, he will have no choice.

Unless he sends troops to sweep the entire Western Regions.

Moreover, these more than a thousand elite Han troops could protect themselves after entering the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Xiahou Ying grinned and exclaimed: "It's still Pei Gong's cleverness!"

"The mountains and forests are not as good as the city, and I have also heard that beautiful women from the Western Regions are from the West!"

Liu Bang said, smiling meaningfully... Anyone who understands it understands it.

"Okay, it's not too late, let's set off quickly to avoid long nights and dreams!"

"promise!"

As he was talking, fires suddenly shot into the sky around the woods, and various shouts of killing sounds resounded like thunder. I don’t know how many Qin troops were surrounding them from all directions.

"I've been ambushed among us!"

"Damn it, why are there Qin troops everywhere!"

Liu Bang was shocked and angry, and couldn't help but scream and scold.

Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying also looked at each other.

They never expected that Zhao Kun was so cunning. He was twenty miles away from Pinyang here, but he had a fu here.

And it happened to be settled by myself and others.

It's so terrifying that it makes people's scalp numb.

Soon, countless torches illuminated the hazy woods from far to near.

Especially the "Thunder Dragon Flag", which whirrs in the night wind and shows its mighty and domineering spirit!

"It's Zhao Kun's thunder cavalry, it should be less than five thousand cavalry."

Xiahou Ying recognized it at a glance.

Zhou Bo's heart sank and said to himself: "It's over, Lei Qi is here, which means Zhao Kun should have come too. It seems that there will be a lot of danger tonight!"

Just as everyone was worried, the Lei Cavalry had already surrounded the Han army.

But, strangely, the Lei Cavalry surrounded the Han army, but had no intention of attacking, as if they were waiting for someone.

Just as everyone was surprised, a noise suddenly sounded behind the Thunder Rider. A row of Thunder Riders separated a passage about three meters wide. A young man wearing silver-white armor and a red cloak came on a horse.

Liu Bang looked up and saw that if this was not Zhao Kun, who was it?

"Liu Bang, we meet again!"

Zhao Kun looked at Liu Bang and smiled slightly: "How are you?"

Liu Bang narrowed his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Are you here to humiliate the orphan?"

He called him orphan, meaning that he hoped that Zhao Kun would treat him equally, although the two were essentially far apart in their identities.

After all, one is from the head of the Little Sishui Pavilion, and the other is from the royal family and noble family.

If it weren't for Liu Bang's uprising and rebelling against Qin, the two might not have met in their lifetime.
