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

Southern part of Xianyang, the Qin army camp.

Lu Matong bowed respectfully to the young man in front of him, and in the moment he lowered his head, you could see the fear in his eyes.

"Greetings, sir. Your subordinate has followed your orders and told Liu Bang the truth. He has decided to attack Chang'an Village tomorrow night."

"Well done, General Lü! The Great Qin will not forget your merits in this battle. You will become a hero of the Great Qin!"

Zhao Long smiled with satisfaction.

"Thank you, sir."

Lu Matong finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his neck was no longer so cold, and that the lives of his entire clan had finally been saved.

He didn't recognize the young man in front of him, nor did he know how the young man knew about his relationship with Liu Bang.

However, once Xiang Yu learned those things, the lives of his entire clan wouldn't be enough for Xiang Yu to slaughter.

"By the way, Liu Bang is about to attack. Go ask Xiang Yu for some more armor, ten thousand sets of armor and weapons, just to feed a beggar. If all else fails, make him open the warehouses of the Epang Palace so we can take those weapons that the Qin army used to discard."

Lu Matong trembled, his fear growing even stronger.

With his abilities, he could naturally see that the person in front of him was playing a very big game!

Even powerful figures like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are merely pawns in his hands at this moment.

By using Liu Bang as a tool, they could demand supplies from Xiang Yu and sharpen their own sword!

This is like playing with fire; one wrong move and you'll lose everything.

Guanzhong will inevitably fall into utter ruin, even more tragic than it is now.

He felt as if he were in a deep abyss, with no hope for the future.

However, he had no choice but to hurry up and attend to Zhao Long's orders to ask Xiang Yu for supplies.

Helping the Qin army fight against Liu Bang and suppressing Liu Bang was an order given to him by Xiang Yu.

……

"Sir, your plan is truly brilliant."

Zhang Ping, the nominal general of Chang'an Village, now admired Zhao Long to the point of complete awe.

The first thing he did upon taking office was to solve the problem of feeding the Qin soldiers.

They were under the control of the coalition forces for a long time, and they might not even get a meal a day, and they were barely clothed.

Zhao Long obtained all kinds of supplies for 30,000 people in just a few words.

He still remembers the time he followed Zhao Long to find Lü Matong, the former Chu general whom even Zhang Han looked down upon, who knelt down and trembled before Zhao Long.

A strange feeling arose in his heart: perhaps the person who could earn the respect of his equally proud elder brother and a fierce general like Zhao Ben truly had the opportunity to mend the broken ship of Qin and set sail again.

Besides not being able to understand why Zhang Han always looked at Zhao Long with a mixture of guilt and respect, even though Zhao Long had come to seek refuge with him!

At this moment, he heard Zhao Long chuckle: "How is the defense setup in Chang'an Village?"

"Rest assured, my lord. General Lü obtained the armor from Xiang Yu. It was all used by the elite Chu army in the past. I have already selected 10,000 soldiers to fight and equipped them with the armor. I have already laid a trap in Chang'an Village and am just waiting for Liu Bang to come."

Zhao Long nodded.

The 30,000 Qin soldiers were old and weak, but compared to most of the soldiers in the allied forces of the various states, they were still considered to be decent warriors.

It is not difficult to select 10,000 people from among them.

How is morale among the troops?

"Don't worry, young master!"

"With weapons and armor, food and clothing, and knowing that their brother had rekindled his fighting spirit and was going to fight Qin's enemies, the soldiers were all full of energy and ready to fight at any time!"

Zhang Ping spoke with fervor!

Qin is a sick tiger, but it's still a tiger, not a cat!

Zhao Long naturally believed these things. After Zhang Han decisively killed the generals planted by the various warlords in the army, he took out various supplies and rekindled the fighting spirit.

Many soldiers wept with joy!

"You'll have to work hard next, and Han Xin will assist you."

Zhang Ping laughed excitedly. He had talked with Han Xin and found that the man was truly a great talent. Even though Zhao Long had made him his deputy, Han Xin worked diligently and set up traps.

"Rest assured, my lord, this time we will ensure that Liu Bang never returns."

Zhao Long gave a noncommittal smile.

His eyes flashed with endless coldness.

The most skilled hunters always appear as if they are prey.

If Liu Bang wanted to be the hunter, then he had to be prepared to become the prey!

"After this battle, Xiang Yu will likely trust Zhang Han even more..."

Xiang Yu was also Zhao Long's prey.

"We have to thank Lü Matong for this."

With this three-way spy around, he could speak to anyone, allowing his plans to proceed more smoothly.

The Qin army could attack Liu Bang, but it could not launch an offensive.

The power of Qin has been deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Qin's sharp edge makes people feel like they have thorns in their backs.

Actively displaying one's spear will instill fear in the feudal lords and trigger a stress response in them.

However, if they are forced to defend, even if they win, no one will be too worried.

Because Xiang Yu is there to back you up!

Everyone knew that Xiang Yu wanted to get rid of Liu Bang.

Zhang Han is now just Xiang Yu's dog.

With Lü Matong's help, Xiang Yu wouldn't suspect Zhang Han, and the 30,000 men on the surface could be fully armed!

The first step of pulling chestnuts out of the fire is complete!

"Liu Bang, please begin your performance."

……

In the dead of winter, tonight the stars shine brightly, a rare sight indeed.

The moonlight shines over this ancient land of Guanzhong, as if washing away all the turmoil.

It was just a small army, filled with murderous intent, speeding along the Qin official road.

"I really wish the whole world had this Qin official road, it's so damn smooth."

Xiahou Ying burst into laughter.

They were the Han army that were preparing to attack Zhang Han's grain and fodder camp at night.

Xiahou Ying, who was leading troops and protecting Liu Bang, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

Xiao He nodded and sighed, "Yes, after the tyranny unified the world, the cart tracks were standardized, the written language was standardized, and Qin official roads were built throughout the Qin Dynasty. But if we're talking about the best official roads, it's still the Guanzhong region."

"Especially the Qin Dynasty highways near Xianyang, which can even accommodate ten chariots running side by side!"

"Qin's achievements..."

As Xiao He was speaking, he realized something was amiss and stopped talking.

As Liu Bang's true chief of staff, after the Han army captured Xianyang, he rushed to the Qin government office immediately to obtain all the records and archives.

Xiao He couldn't help but marvel at the First Emperor's achievements in certain aspects; just the one point he mentioned was a monumental accomplishment.

The official roads of the Qin Dynasty radiated outwards from Xianyang to the entire Qin territory. When they took the southern route to attack Guanzhong, they basically followed the official roads of the Qin Dynasty.

With such roads, the time spent traveling between different regions was greatly reduced. If the First Emperor had not died, no one would have dared to rebel.

They might start an uprising today, and the Qin army might be at their doorstep tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the Qin army has now become lambs to the slaughter.

When Liu Bang arrived near Chang'an Village, his vanguard general Fan Kuai had already led 5,000 soldiers into the outer perimeter of the grain supply camp.

Fan Kuai's fierce aura was enough to terrify even the Han army!

Unparalleled in bravery, with a ferocity that surpasses all others.

With him personally leading the charge at the front, this Han army seemed invincible!

Liu Bang rushed to the outer perimeter of the grain and supplies camp, constantly peering inside.

"Enough provisions for 30,000 people for half a year!"

This should be enough to get him through this most difficult period.

Just then, Liu Bang spotted the woods surrounding the grain supply camp, and Xiao He and the others also saw it.

The unease that Xiao He had felt earlier erupted once again.

"Your Majesty, we must not approach the battlefield any further; swords have no eyes."

"Hahaha!" Liu Bang burst into laughter.

Why is Your Majesty laughing?

Liu Bang pointed to the grove of trees and said, "I laugh at the Qin army. They are just a bunch of defeated soldiers and remnants of the tyrannical Qin dynasty. Not a single one of them is capable of taking on a major responsibility."

"If I were a general of the Qin army, I would have laid an ambush in this forest."

"We don't need many. Just three thousand soldiers are enough to hold off anyone who attacks our camp, even a thirty thousand-strong army."
