I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.

Zhao Long had no intention of keeping the money and grain; in chaotic times, being a miser would not end well.

If you hoard money, others will hoard military force, and in the end you will lose both people and money.

Only a strong military can guarantee survival in chaotic times.

After Qin Mo returned to Qin, he had over a hundred people working in the Craftsmanship Department. They would forge sharper weapons and stronger armor for the Qin army.

Previously, Guanzhong was in ruins, and many Qin soldiers were still using the tattered weapons and armor from the warehouses of the Epang Palace. Only with money and food could they act freely.

With the Qin army now brandishing its sharp swords, one can foresee a series of major battles to come.

The civil and military officials present only felt more excited after hearing what Zhao Long said.

The Qin state is also striving to become stronger today.

Zhao Long narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Send people to investigate the situation in Wei carefully. A great war is about to break out."

Next, we'll see what Wei Bao's true intentions are.

Is he trying to contribute to the reconstruction of the Qin Dynasty, or is he planning to continue hiding and perhaps even become a traitor in the future?

Zhao Long already had a very clear vision of the future path of the Qin Dynasty.

Unify the Three Qin regions, and then conquer the world.

After dealing with the nobles of various states and blocking Wei Bao, the next step is the north. The Three Qin regions have been reunified, and Wei Bao will be facing the first wave of the Qin army. I wonder if he can withstand it!

The hatred between the states of Wei and Qin ran very deep.

This story begins with Shang Yang's first major battle in strengthening the Qin state, in which he first beheaded his former employer, the Wei state.

……

Chen Ping was in Pingyang, the capital of Wei, when he soon received confirmation from his trusted confidant. His expression turned extremely grim.

"How dare Zhang Han and his men?"

"He's gone mad, slaughtering all the nobles' influence in Guanzhong!"

Chen Ping jumped up excitedly, his killing intent gathering around him. At that moment, he suddenly wanted to dig open Zhang Han's head to see what was inside!

Those were nobles from various countries, incredibly powerful nobles from various countries.

Despite the current chaos in the world, various royal families are rising to power, such as King Cheng of Han and Wei Bao.

They all had one thing in common: they regained the throne with the support of the remnants of the six kingdoms!

It was Zhang Liang, who served as prime minister of Han for five generations, who supported King Cheng of Han. It was Zhou Shi and others who supported Wei Bao's elder brother, and Wei Bao succeeded him after his death.

Not to mention the three families of Chu, whose support for Xiang Yu enabled the Chu army to dominate the world.

These nobles, who roamed freely across various countries, wielded power and wealth that surpassed even that of many royal families of the six kingdoms.

They influence the world's affairs directly from behind the scenes.

Where did Zhang Han get the audacity to kill so many people? Heads rolled and blood flowed like rivers in Guanzhong.

Chen Ping paced back and forth, his expression turning extremely grim.

Zhang Han's strike was ruthless and decisive, not only severing the nobles of various states in Guanzhong, but also Chen Ping's future.

No matter how many schemes he had, they were all based on the constant attrition between Zhang Han and the various forces.

Zhang Han overturned the table and eliminated the power of the major nobles in Guanzhong. How could this not make the nobles of various countries resent Chen Ping?

It was his and other proposals that led to the chaos in Guanzhong and the skyrocketing of grain prices.

The servant was also seeing Chen Ping so out of control for the first time, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

But he hadn't finished speaking: "Sir, the Qin army didn't just kill people, they also held a military parade in Guanzhong, which was a military exercise for all the people to see."

"The Qin army's elite soldiers were incredibly fierce, and the people of Guanzhong were all in a frenzy."

"Moreover, Hongmen belongs to the present-day Sai Kingdom. We think we saw the Sai King go to Zhang Han's camp and then never came out again."

Chen Ping suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at the servant in disbelief. Zhang Han dared to attack Sima Xin directly now. Was he so eager to unify the Three Qin regions?

This shouldn't be the case. If Zhang Han wants to rebuild the Qin state, he needs to proceed step by step steadily. At the very least, he should win over the hearts of the people in Yong state and then gradually win over the Sai state.

Why would someone like him, who is resented by the people of Guanzhong, take such a risk? Isn't he afraid that his anger will flare up and cause him to backfire?

"Wait, is there any other news?"

The servant thought carefully for a moment, then frowned and said, "We think we heard someone calling for the young master..."

Chen Ping's breathing had become extremely heavy. Suddenly realizing his mistake, he slowly uttered two words: "Zhao Long..."

He wanted to calculate the power of all parties, and he did not overlook Zhang Han's ambition. He believed that he had created a perfect chessboard and that he could control everything and exhaust the power of the various lords.

However, it was only then that I realized what was happening.

Within the Qin state, there was one point he didn't pay too much attention to: Zhao Long.

"It's hard to say about this person's talent, but he has always been good at planning and knows how to manage troops and arrange formations."

"He can serve as a military advisor and general in the Han army, and he can also serve as a military advisor in the Qin army. You must be careful of this person when you go there."

This was something Fan Zeng had reminded him of before. Chen Ping also kept Zhao Long in mind. How could someone who could become an important strategist for two opposing countries not have real talent and learning?

He also knew Zhao Long; Zhao Long's methods within the Han army were mostly righteous and steady.

However, once they joined the Qin army, their methods were unpredictable and varied, and they relied heavily on cunning and strategy.

However, he always viewed Zhao Long and Zhang Han as a whole, representing the Qin state's revival army, and considered the power struggle between the two states.

In the great power game, the gains and losses are interconnected, and even if Zhang Han wants to rebuild Guanzhong, he needs to make more preparations. At the very least, he shouldn't have gone crazy at this time.

They did not consider Zhao Long and his identity separately.

Considering only that Zhang Han might want to lead Guanzhong to rise again, what methods would Zhao Long use to block the Chu army's advance?

Looking back now, Zhao Long was a wise man, and even more so, Zhang Han's strategist.

Looking back at the strategists of the Qin state throughout history, which one of them, after entering the Qin state, wasn't incredibly strong-willed, ruthless, and utterly shameless?

For the sake of Qin's rise, they could completely disregard the power struggles among major states; they were determined to destroy you, and even after that, they would still settle things with force.

In their eyes, the great power rivalry is not just about taking a step-by-step approach, but about their military advantage!

If you can't beat them, then try again next time, until you wipe them out!

Step by step, he swung his sword forward.

Zhao Long dared to help Zhang Han plot the establishment of the Guanzhong Kingdom, and as a wise man of Qin, how could he possibly tolerate any more injustices and allow the nobles of the six states to run rampant in Guanzhong?

After Chen Ping understood these things, he gradually calmed down and frowned in thought.

Even if they had figured it out, the strategists who entered the Qin state would be extremely wicked, becoming shameless and ruthless.

Chen Ping still couldn't understand where Zhao Long got the guts.

Like Shang Yang in the past, when he attacked the State of Wei, he dared to shamelessly deceive the Wei generals into gathering their forces, and then defeated the Wei army in one battle. That was because he had become powerful through reforms, and the balance of victory was already very good.

Shang Yang did this simply to hasten the Qin army's victory, reduce losses, and avoid the possibility of retaliation from the State of Wei.

Isn't Zhao Long afraid now?

Chen Ping muttered in confusion, "Even the most elite soldiers are not the same as the Qin army that swept across the six states."

We can't say that the Qin army has recovered to its peak fighting strength in just a few months, can we?

The Guanzhong Plain today is far from being able to support the hundreds of thousands of soldiers that Qin had at its peak.

Chen Ping slowly chuckled coldly: "This is truly unexpected."

He did not feel any fear because of the Qin state's executioner's blade; on the contrary, it fueled his fighting spirit.

Since Zhang Han was determined to draw his sword at all costs, Chen was no coward either.

"Let's go, send someone to contact Young Master Wei Wuzhi, and we'll pay another visit to King Wei!"
