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

Chapter 118 The plan has changed; preparations are underway for a robbery.

Han Xin flipped through the topographical maps in his hand. They were drawn individually by each of them and then integrated and confirmed by the Black Ice Platform. There were a total of nine real warehouse locations.

Han Xin saw only a cold smile, which did not reach his eyes.

Amidst such chaos in the world, noble families like the Huai clan have made a fortune.

It was only after he captured Xiangling that he learned from some Wei traitors that the Huai clan had stored a large amount of supplies nearby.

As a noble family that migrated north from the State of Chu, they now support the continuous rise of the State of Wei. The large amount of supplies they plundered through the Wei army are stockpiled near Xiangling.

This small town, built against the mountain, was previously unnoticed, but it is very close to Linfen and has well-developed transportation.

This is a base that the Huai family is secretly building.

"I am quite satisfied that you all took the initiative to explain these things."

Before the people kneeling on the ground could even catch their breath, Han Xin's icy voice continued to rang out.

"Kill them all."

Most of these people were Wei people who resisted fiercely. After being severely tortured by the Black Ice Guard, they temporarily yielded and revealed some information.

Han Xin had no intention of letting them go; he didn't want these people to remain, as they might become mortal enemies of the Qin army in the future.

He stood up and looked at the Qin generals present: "The young master has also sent word that Linfen has been captured, and he has ordered General Wang Ling to lead the army north to Pingyang."

"Based on the information we have gathered so far, Wei is weak internally, and its main force is basically not within Wei territory. We have enough time to plunder Huai's many warehouses and send these supplies back to Guanzhong first."

The plan has changed; they are now preparing to plunder, no longer just launching an attack on the capital of Wei.

Judging from what these traitors confessed, the largest of these warehouses, the Huai'an Warehouse, was large enough to hold a thousand cartloads of supplies.

Not only Huai's supplies, but also a lot of Wei's supplies are temporarily stored here.

Due to limitations in manpower and logistics, the Qin army's campaign to establish a foothold in Wei could only extend to attack the capital of Wei. Whether they could maintain a long-term hold on Wei territory depended on the situation.

The most important thing now is to take all the visible supplies back to Guanzhong.

The cavalry commanders immediately smiled regretfully: "It's a pity we couldn't participate in the attack on Wei."

Although they were smiling, they were all eager to get started.

As the vanguard of the empire, the cavalry's main generals are mostly old Qin people, Zhang Han's trusted confidants.

They hadn't expected that the attack on Wei would progress so smoothly, and they were all proud of it.

Although killing enemies on the main battlefield brings more credit, Zhao Long had already ordered that one-tenth of the spoils of war after a Qin army's victory would be divided equally among all the soldiers.

If they attack these nine warehouses, how much of it will they be able to take?

When a country is strong, they can also get more good things, and that's what makes people so motivated!

At this moment, a military officer suddenly spoke up: "General, the young master previously ordered us to keep an eye on you, and as the commander-in-chief, not to let you personally lead the troops into battle again."

"Attacks on the major warehouses are such important matters, General, why don't you stay in Xiangling and let us do it!"

The group had spent several months with Han Xin, and as heroes dedicated to the rise of Qin, they quickly became close friends, and now they couldn't help but smile.

Han Xin laughed and cursed, "Get lost! Order the army to assemble and attack the largest warehouse among them first!"

How could he possibly miss the opportunity to personally reclaim more of the foundations for survival for the Qin Dynasty?

……

On the desolate land north of Xiangling, a cavalry force was advancing at full speed.

How far is it from Huai'an Village?

"Twenty li!"

Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Hold on a little longer, and get to Huai'an Warehouse as quickly as possible."

After receiving Wei Bao's orders, they headed to the vicinity of Xiangling to support the largest warehouse in Huai'an, which was stockpiled with a large amount of Wei's supplies.

The thousand cavalrymen were moving extremely fast. In just over two hours, including crossing the river, they had already covered fifty or sixty li.

Even these warhorses were panting, but Zhang Shuo couldn't care less about their injuries at this moment.

He was to hold the Huai'an warehouse and defend against the Qin cavalry before the Wei army returned.

If this place is lost, it won't just be a matter of these thousand cavalrymen; it will directly lead to a food shortage for the entire Wei army.

Fortunately, Wei Bao was willing to invest in the cavalry. Many of the Wei cavalrymen were veterans who had fought in battles before. Although they were somewhat tired, they were still able to persevere.

"Hopefully, the Qin army is unaware of the warehouse situation for the time being!"

The Qin army arrived too quickly. After they captured Linfen and marched on Xiangling, they finally learned that the defenses in Xiangling were far from adequate.

Who could have imagined that Qin troops would suddenly appear out of nowhere in the heart of Wei?

Now we can only fight the Qin army for this crucial moment.

Zhang said he feels very uneasy right now.

As he approached Huai'an Village, he saw a great deal of chaotic traces on the ground.

Zhang's expression turned extremely ugly: "We're still a step too late."

"How can this be!"

Even if the Qin army reached Xiangling, how could they possibly know the location of Huai'an Warehouse in just one night and attack directly?

Zhang Shuo led his men forward and soon saw a large number of Qin cavalry gathered around the Huai'an warehouse!

Witnessing this scene firsthand, Zhang felt utterly despondent.

The Qin cavalry were quickly loading these supplies onto wagons, and at a glance, it was clear that the main force of the Qin cavalry, five thousand men, was gathered here.

"General, the Qin army is indeed after these supplies; they are moving them."

"However, since the Qin state has been destroyed, their cavalry must not have been established for long, and their combat strength must be low."

"We are all elite Wei cavalry, veterans of countless battles. Why not take advantage of their looting of supplies and charge in? We might even be able to seize all their warhorses and achieve great merit!"

Many of the Wei generals spoke up, their killing intent overwhelming.

Zhang Shuo also fell into deep thought. It was hard for anyone not to be tempted by such a huge amount of supplies. The Qin army was currently focused on supplies and was almost defenseless. He could indeed lead his men to charge into battle.

However, the Wei cavalry only numbered a thousand, putting them at a significant disadvantage.

Even if the Qin cavalry were terrible, they might not necessarily win.

Now, he faces an extremely difficult choice: to fight these Qin soldiers and desperately reclaim Huai'an Warehouse.

Or should we just retreat?

At this moment, Zhang Shuo's pupils suddenly trembled.

The Qin soldiers who were originally transporting supplies quickly assembled at a speed he could hardly comprehend.
