When Cao Can and the others heard the news of the Western Sichuan's move, they instantly flew into a rage, cursing at Chu Army's despicable methods, determined to fight to the death with him. Xiao He bellowed: "What are you guys doing, do you want to disobey the military order? With Pei Gong's letter and order, I, Xiao He, will take charge of the west side of the Pengcheng. General Cao Can will take charge of the military, and in ten days, he will have everything that is beneficial to him, arrange for everything there to be done, and then, he will leave the Pengcheng and hand it over to the Chu Army. "

"We cannot give up Pengcheng!" Some of the generals still couldn't figure it out. They would rather die in battle than hand over the position so innocently. Wasn't this just a compromise?

"If Pei Gong has an order, he shall be beheaded!" Xiao He became stern, and thought that if he did not stabilize the morale of the troops, it would be difficult for him to retreat, and he had to move quickly, if not how could the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians retreat?

One of the Academy Officer s could not understand, and shouted angrily: "If that's the case, then at worst we'll just go back. If we don't go to the Sichuan, who amongst us is willing to stay with me?"

"Clang …" A cold light drew out of the scabbard and turned into a long arc as it streaked through the air.

"Pfft!" The long sword cut into the vital points of the busy Academy Officer, immediately taking care of his life.

Everyone's eyes turned cold as they looked at General Cao Can in shock.

Cao Can wiped the blood on his sword on his armor and shouted: "What Pei Gong says is the order of the king, who dares to not listen?"

At this moment, over thirty generals gathered outside the city gate were silent. No one spoke a word as they looked at each other.

Lv Chen, Lv Ze, Yuan Ying and the others also held onto their swords, coldly looking at the newly recruited generals behind them, if anyone dared to shout, they would immediately counterattack with their sword, determined that they would not let this group of unscrupulous people affect their morale.

"We vow to follow Pei Gong and move to the Western Sichuan!" The majority of the s at the back were Long Tianyu's trusted aides and trusted aides, and were willing to follow their lord to fight in wars to the south. A few of the newly recruited Lieutenant s were initially unable to accept the results, but after thinking carefully, they realized that the city was not their own, and it would be the same no matter where they went, as long as they had control and power.

Xiao He nodded at Cao Can, when it was critical time, he would have to use an extreme method, there was no better way to save people than killing them.

No matter how much one complained, that was the spirit of a soldier who did not abandon and give up. No one was willing to surrender without fighting, and when they were angry, they would give up to the Chu Army!

However, in the face of a great injustice, Cao Can didn't hesitate to kill the bewitching general in front of him. He made an example of him by killing him and intimidated him on the spot.

Cao Can's gaze turned cold, and said: "Brother Xiao, you give the order to take away the things that should be taken away, and what should be left behind, you do as you're told, and leave the rest to me. If anything happens, it'll be punished by the military law!"

Xiao He sighed: Let's go into the city and talk to the citizens. We will quickly gather all the generals from the Pei County, Fengxian, Dang, Yucheng and Xuxian, but for now, we cannot spread the news of moving to Shu, so as to not disturb the citizens.

"This lowly general understands …"

Some of the generals did not enter the city, but instead brought their men to the city gates to inform the guards that they were coming to the Pengcheng to discuss something, feeling extremely anxious.

After four hours had passed, in the General's Residence in Pengcheng city, Xiao He, Cao Can, Lv Chen, Lv Ze, Lu Sheng, Yuan Ying and more than forty generals of different sizes gathered in the hall.

Lv Zhi also had a meeting with the empress, because she was in charge of the empress dowager's management. Although she was a woman, her skills were not ordinary, and she treated the maids, guards, and Shishi, the sisters, in an orderly manner. She, Xiao He, and the others were all Sishui Ren, thus her identity was special as the representative of the women and children.

The generals who had rushed over were all discussing with each other. They did not know why they were in such a hurry, could it be that the front lines were in a hurry?

Seeing that the various city lords were almost here, Xiao He coughed dryly and said loudly: "There is a secret letter sent by Pei Gong, our army has already broken into the Xianyang, and the reason for that is for the merits, but the Chu Army has sent a large force to press in, intercepted all the allied armies, and held a Great Gate Banquet at Hongmen Square. Since Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng used Pei Gong, the two wives of Pei Gong and Yu Ji to threaten them, and Chu Army has set up an ambush, forcing Pei Gong to give up his sovereignty over the entire world, so the old fox actually suggested that the Great Qin be given the title of 18 Kings, and we have to go back to the Pengcheng.

"Ah?" How dare you, Chu Army is too despicable. "

"The Pengcheng area has been under our control for a year, with strong troops and strong men. The foundation is solid, how can we let the Chu Army get away with this?!"

"That's right, while the Chu Army's main forces are outside of the Xianyang, we'll send our army to attack the longevity spring, and use the Phantom Emperor Xiong Xin and Chu Xiang Li Yuan to threaten Xiang Yu, looks like we need to do something, what do we do?"

"Right, a tooth for a tooth!"

Xiao He waved his hand to stop the crowd's discussion, and said: "The feudal lord has already become a foregone conclusion, if we were to easily send out the troops, if we were to travel a long distance to fight our way through the rivers, we will definitely be trapped, that is the West Chu army rushing over, we will only have to slaughter them, it is definitely not possible! Besides... Pei Gong had a deeper reason for doing so, it is to prepare for the capture of the mountains in the future. The Sichuan Basin is a place filled with plenty of land, and the way of Shu is also a safe haven, with this as a base, we will have the power to swallow the Central Plains. After we move to the Sichuan, we will encourage the seventeen kings of the Central Plains to fight amongst each other, causing our name to resound through the battlefield.

After the generals heard Xiao He's words, they slowly nodded their heads and felt that it made sense. However, giving these bustling cities to the Chu people, and leaving the village to the barren Sichuan, they found it difficult to adapt to the situation. They were somewhat indignant at the actions of the Chu Army.

A trace of unhappiness flashed across her jade face. Perhaps it was because her husband did not hesitate to use half a river or mountain to exchange for two women. If she and Shishi were to be captured, would her husband still exchange?

Although she was extremely intelligent, and had learned quite a lot, she still felt a bit of pressure when compared to the two girls. She did not have the talent that the talented had, nor did she have Yu Ji's beauty or outstanding talent, so she felt sorry for herself for the moment.

At this time, Xiao He said: "Since the rebellion at Pei County, there has only been today's achievements by building walls, accumulating rations, and slowly claiming the title of king. After going through a bloody battle with Pei Gong, the army at longevity spring, the sinking of ships, the war at giant deer, the war at Pengcheng, etc. However, the war is not over yet, we cannot just look ahead and enjoy ourselves, the training in the west, that is the only choice for us to make, and Pei Gong has already given the order to stabilize the hearts of the city. Before he leaves, he must not disturb the citizens of the city.

Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Pei Gong's actions were out of their expectations, making them unable to guess anything. Given his ambition, he would definitely not be willing to become the king of the Sichuan, and give up the Pengcheng under threat, the hatred in his heart must be even deeper than us. Since he can endure it all, he must be prepared to counterattack.

"Only the troops will obey. We will listen to your commands. We have no ulterior motives!" The generals shouted in unison as they used their high spirits to strengthen their resolve. Soldiers had the duty of obeying orders; they would never retreat even if they were to die on the battlefield, let alone enter the Shu Family's territory.

Lv Zhi turned a deaf ear as a layer of sadness surfaced in her eyes. She sighed to herself: "Long Lang, you are too biased, you forced Zhi Er to do this …"
