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

Pingyang City is now the capital of the Western Wei Kingdom.

As Chen Ping and Wei Wuzhi walked down the street, Chen Ping was filled with emotion.

"Your Highness is wise and capable of gathering so many outstanding people to assist the State of Wei. Pingyang is prosperous, and Your Highness deserves the greatest credit."

The person he was praising was Wei Wuzhi, a prince of the State of Wei.

He was a descendant of Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji. After Wei Bao restored the State of Wei, Wei Wuji had also returned to the State of Wei to take up his post.

Wei Bao was always suspicious, fickle, and indecisive. Chen Ping knew that he would need the help of others to persuade Wei Bao to send troops.

Chen Ping had previously served under the Wei state and had a good relationship with Wei Wuzhi.

"As you know, my ambition is to be comparable to my ancestors."

"Lord Chen, why have you abandoned the State of Wei?"

Wei Wuzhi spoke with some dissatisfaction.

He shared his ancestors' ambition: to recruit many retainers, govern a country, and resist the powerful Qin state.

He had a very high opinion of Chen Ping, but unfortunately, when Xiang Yu attacked the vicinity of Wei, Chen Ping decisively abandoned Wei and switched allegiance to Xiang Yu.

This still bothers Wei Wuzhi to this day.

Chen Ping showed no embarrassment. Those who aspire to great things must have a thick skin. He chuckled and said, "The great cause of destroying Qin cannot be accomplished by the Wei Kingdom alone. The Hegemon-King is powerful, and I am only temporarily under his command. In the future, when the world is stable and Qin no longer exists, I will surely return to Wei."

Wei Wuzhi's expression finally softened.

He had countless advisors and many fierce generals under his command, but only Chen Ping was someone he could keep in mind for a long time.

Suddenly, Wei Wuzhi realized what was happening and asked in confusion, "The Qin state no longer exists?"

"Hasn't the Qin state already been destroyed?"

After Xiang Yu conquered Guanzhong, the people of Wei were the most excited.

After all, among the remnants of the old regimes of various countries, the only royal family that could directly seize power was Wei Bao's side. He followed Xiang Yu into Guanzhong and took a severe revenge on the Qin people.

Wei Wuzhi was naturally present at the time.

Chen Ping sighed and said, "The Qin state has been revived."

"what happened?"

Chen Ping recounted the changes in the Qin state during this period and also discussed the current situation in Guanzhong.

Wei Wuzhi immediately flew into a rage: "What? Zhang Han actually dared to slaughter the nobles of six states, including the Huai family?"

The Huai family was also a super powerful clan in the Chu state, but it had always been overshadowed by the other three families. They had long since begun investing in the north, and the family's foundation gradually shifted to Hedong.

The fact that the Wei Kingdom was able to rebuild and that Pingyang was able to quickly prosper amidst the chaos of war owes much to the support of the Huai family.

Wei Wuzhi gasped in shock: "Zhang Han has gone mad. He wants to restore Qin?"

"I never expected that Liu Bang, whom I had high hopes for, would be such a useless person. He was completely wiped out by Zhang Han's 10,000-strong army, which gave Zhang Han the opportunity to rebuild Guanzhong."

"Let's go find the King now. Wei must stop Zhang Han from rising again."

Hangu Pass is now under the control of the State of Wei. Not only does Wei border Qin directly, but it is also the first line of defense for the Qin army if it wants to expand eastward. Wei cannot afford to sit idly by and watch Zhang Han rise again.

Wei Wuzhi didn't see Chen Ping's cold smile. He had actually already approached Wei Bao once, but the guy had been playing games with him.

This time, Wei Bao had no choice but to agree!

……

The Palace of King Wei.

Wei Bao looked at the middle-aged woman with a displeased expression: "Madam, I have already destroyed Qin and am now the King of Wei. I have been on the battlefield for many years, so why can't I enjoy myself?"

“My cousin’s daughter, Lady Bo, has been extraordinary since childhood. Why can’t I bring her into the palace?”

The woman's cold gaze made Wei Bao shrink back, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over.

The woman before him was none other than Huaijia, who supported the growth of the Wei Kingdom. Wei Bao truly dared not offend this queen.

At this moment, a report came from outside: "Your Majesty, Young Master Wei Wuzhi has come again with Chen Ping, carrying a scroll of bamboo slips, and requests to hand it over to Your Majesty."

Wei Bao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly slipped away from the tigress, and picked up the bamboo slip to take a look.

"Lord Xinwu of Chu and Chancellor Chen Ping of Han".

This introduction of his identity only made Wei Bao's expression even uglier, and he was extremely displeased.

Upon hearing this, Queen Wei Bao immediately exclaimed, "Chen Ping is here again?"

"What he said before was also correct. Now that Zhang Han has regained power, if he wants to expand eastward, Wei will be the first to bear the brunt."

"With Xiang Yu's orders still in place, the Wei Kingdom is really going to attack Guanzhong and fight a few battles."

Wei Bao was still thinking when he heard this and immediately became so angry that he wanted to yell at someone. All his anger got stuck in his throat, and he could only take a deep breath.

"My lady, I will make the decisions on important matters of Wei. Now that you are the Queen, you are no longer in the days of wandering and hardship. You should enjoy yourself!"

After saying that, Wei Bao quickly slipped away. If it weren't for the fact that this lady had been supporting him since he was still a nobody, Queen Wei would have disappeared from this world long ago.

He entered the main hall and summoned the ministers of Wei.

What Chen Ping sent was an introduction of his identity, as well as a formal invitation, making it a very formal meeting.

Unlike before, they came secretly with Xiang Yu's orders.

Wei Bao was very unhappy with Chen Ping, who had betrayed Wei and surrendered to Xiang Yu, and even more unhappy with Xiang Yu.

The fertile and prosperous lands of Wei now belong to Western Chu, which Xiang Yu seized and drove them all to Hedong.

He had no intention of giving a formal reply to Chen Ping before; he simply sent people to make some small moves inside and outside Hangu Pass as a response to Xiang Yu's orders.

Wei Bao hadn't expected Chen Ping to come so formally; wasn't this forcing him to go to war with Zhang Han?

Wei Bao's eyes were full of coldness. Soon, the civil and military officials of Wei gathered together, and Chen Ping was also allowed to come over.

"Chancellor Chen Ping of the State greets Your Majesty."

Chen Ping bowed very respectfully, like a refined gentleman, and everyone looked at him with great curiosity.

Only a few people knew that Chen Ping was in Pingyang, and naturally, they were all looking at him with hostility.

Despite being scrutinized by so many eyes, Chen Ping still maintained his extraordinary demeanor.

This made everyone wonder what important business Xiang Yu had in coming to Pingyang with his newly appointed prime minister of Han.

Wei Bao waved his hand, looking listless, his dissatisfaction with Chen Ping written all over his face.

Before Chen Ping could speak, Wei Wuzhi had already stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Han is tyrannical, just like the butcher of Qin in the past, and has ordered the massacre of nobles in Guanzhong."

"This man previously inflicted a great defeat on the Han army, and now he is revealing his ambitious intentions. Wei cannot sit idly by."

"The South Korean minister's trip was also on the orders of the Hegemon, to assist the Wei Kingdom in sending troops to suppress Zhang Han's rebellion!"

"I urge Your Majesty to quickly dispatch troops to suppress the tyrannical Qin with the might of our Great Wei army."

"We must not allow Zhang Han to make a comeback."

Wei Bao stared wide-eyed at this descendant of Lord Xinling, somewhat incredulous.

Are you actually a person from the State of Wei, or are you just ignorant and utterly ignorant?

That was Zhang Han, the former war god of Qin. Now, the Wei state, which only has Hedong left, is going to fight Zhang Han to the death.
