I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.
Chapter 151: A large number of civil and military officials return to Qin. Who exactly is in Qin now
Dong Yi, as one of the vassal kings enfeoffed by Xiang Yu, did not really consider himself a king.
What unlucky prince was to be assigned to this harsh and cold place?
Although Shangjun had been managed by the Qin state for many years, it could not change the fact that it was relatively cold and harsh due to its terrain.
Dong Yi himself did not have much ambition. After his 200,000-strong army was wiped out, he thought about just sitting around doing nothing until he died.
Unexpectedly, he received news that made him very upset.
"The Xiongnu Baiyang tribe has breached Fushi!"
Fushi got its name from Fushi, the prince of Zhongshan, who was exiled after the State of Zhao destroyed the State of Zhongshan.
It is located in the northernmost part of Shangjun County and also the southernmost part of the Hetao Grassland.
Before the Qin Dynasty unified the country, the Great Wall army established by the Qin Dynasty began to launch a series of attacks on the Hetao grassland.
After the Qin Dynasty's power swept across the four seas, it concentrated all its strength and sent the Great Wall army north to attack the Xiongnu and conquer the entire Hetao region.
The First Emperor ordered the relocation of 30,000 households of people from various states to the area north of Fushi, intending to make these regions a permanent part of the Great Qin.
However, after Meng Tian's death, the Xiongnu began to make a comeback.
Even after the main force of the Great Wall army quelled the rebellions across the land, the Xiongnu continued their southward advance.
Dong Yi had not expected that the Xiongnu would be so frenzied, actually advancing all the way to Fushi!
Fushi was the gateway to Shangjun, which meant that the Xiongnu could march south at any time, break through Shangjun, and enter Guanzhong.
Dong Yi had no great ambitions, and naturally did not retrain his soldiers.
Now, the entire territory under their control consists of only a few thousand old, weak, sick, and disabled people, who are no match for the Xiongnu.
"Now, should we seek help from Xiang Yu, or... Zhang Han?"
Dong Yi's bewilderment lay precisely in this point.
He knew that Zhang Han had risen again, and had even heard about Zhang Han's forceful suppression of the nobles of various states in Guanzhong, and that he had once again fought against the allied forces of the three states at Hangu Pass.
However, with the Qin state destroyed, what could Zhang Han do? How could he possibly stop the allied forces of the three kingdoms?
Who else can he turn to for help now?
If we ask Xiang Yu for help, will he really take the situation in Guanzhong seriously and send reinforcements to protect this harsh land?
Just then, he received a report: "Your Majesty, the Supreme General has arrived."
"General? Where did this General come from?"
He doesn't even have a proper general under his rule.
Until Dong Yi saw Zhang Han, his pupils suddenly contracted and he stood up.
"I want to talk to you about the reconstruction of the Qin Dynasty."
The two talked all night. When Zhang Han left, Dong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, a smile already on his face.
"The Great Qin is rebuilt, and the prince returns to his rightful place."
Dong Yi rubbed his hands excitedly. He had entrusted the country to the enemy, which could be considered to offset his past mistakes.
In any case, even if he were to meet the First Emperor a hundred years later, he wouldn't have to feel so guilty anymore, because at least he had truly done a lot for the Qin Dynasty!
A fierce glint flashed in Dong Yi's eyes: "The Great Qin is restored! What Xiongnu? No matter how many come, they will all die..."
……
Changan.
The magnificent city is gradually taking shape. It can be said that the Qin state is now using all its resources to build this brand-new capital, and the city is being built at a rapid pace.
At that moment, a young man's eyes were filled with amazement.
"It is truly a country of tigers and wolves, having established its capital based on tens of thousands of barbarians and surrendered Korean soldiers."
"My lord, the Prime Minister only sent us to scout out the situation in Guanzhong, not to let us enter Guanzhong. These Qin soldiers..."
The servants beside the young man were all trembling with fear.
That's terrifying! The Qin army is absolutely terrifying!
They had only heard that the three-nation allied forces were attacking Qin, but who could have imagined that they would witness a tremendous storm near Hangu Pass!
The ferocity and terror of the Qin army were terrifying; just thinking about it made one tremble uncontrollably.
Not to mention that along the way, they finally saw the battlefield near Chang'an where the Han army was wiped out.
The stench of blood has not yet dissipated.
These are a bunch of devils!
They emerged from blood and fire, and after their rebirth, they carried endless resentment, becoming even more brutal than before.
"If we hadn't entered Guanzhong, how would we have known that this war between the Three Kingdoms and Qin would be so spectacular?"
The young man's eyes held a smile, showing not much fear of the Qin people, but only amazement.
As expected of a powerful nation that has stood for hundreds of years, even after the fall of its kingdom and the destruction of its people, the Qin people were able to regroup and establish a new capital.
"If only the State of Zhao had this kind of resilience..."
His eyes gradually filled with envy.
Entering from Hangu Pass, the closer one gets to the new capital Chang'an, the more frenzied the people of Guanzhong become.
They shouted the name of the Great Qin, pledged their loyalty with their blood, and spared no effort for the rise of the Great Qin.
There was firelight in their eyes.
Unlike the State of Zhao, whose people also yearn for their former powerful homeland, there is little sense of cohesion among them.
Even within the Zhao state's high-ranking officials, factions are vying for power, and a chaotic war has already begun!
"Sir, I've heard that King Sima Xin of the Sai Kingdom doesn't concern himself with any affairs of the Sai Kingdom. I'm afraid the Qin people are about to retake Guanzhong. We'd better leave quickly, or we'll be doomed if they find out..."
“You are a descendant of Li Mu, the great general of Zhao, and the current Grand Marshal of Zhao. The Qin people will not let us go.”
The servants were very nervous.
The young man shook his head, feeling even more sorrowful.
Even former traitors of Qin like Sima Xin knew that when the country was rising again, they should work together with one heart and one mind.
Why can't those idiots in the country understand this? In a war of unparalleled scale, the losses are all borne by the Zhao people themselves.
This is the reason why the Qin state was able to rise to power, and also the fundamental reason why the people of Zhao could never stop the Qin state.
The Qin people's spirit of unity and fighting will far surpass that of any other nation.
Even after a nation is destroyed and its resources are exhausted, it can still reunite and unleash such powerful strength once again.
The thought of the Wei army at Hangu Pass, the Han army working in the distant city of Chang'an, and the blood of the Han army underfoot...
In just two or three months, the Qin army put on a grand show, turning the world upside down with a flick of their wrist!
"The feudal lords of the world should soon know the outcome of the Battle of Hanzhong."
The world will surely be in uproar, and heroes will be enraged.
The Qin state won a brilliant victory in the war to establish itself, but if it wanted to truly solidify its rule, it would face an extremely fierce counterattack from the feudal lords led by Xiang Yu.
Perhaps, Zhao could use this as a condition to gain some benefits from Qin.
When a cold glint flashed in his eyes, he felt the earth tremble.
He looked curiously at the horizon, where a troop of Qin soldiers was galloping towards him.
"What fierce cavalry."
The State of Zhao also had cavalry, but they were far inferior to these cavalry.
The armored soldiers came running, shouting, "Great victory at Nanyang! Prefect Li Xin of Longxi has beheaded all the Han generals, and Liu Bang has escaped alone!"
At this moment, Chang'an was in an uproar, and the people who heard the news couldn't help but shed tears.
A century of national humiliation, a wound that the seas cannot heal!
The hatred between them and the State of Chu was already very deep.
Besides, Liu Bang was the vanguard who conquered Guanzhong!
The more miserable Liu Bang was, the more excited and frenzied the people of Guanzhong became.
Guanzhong refers to the Guanzhong region of the Qin Dynasty.
The world belongs to the Great Qin!
They were once arrogant and looked down on everyone, growing stronger by stepping on the corpses of other nations. Now that the Qin army is pursuing them and has once again defeated Liu Bang, the King of Han, it will only drive them mad!
Everyone is proud of the victory of the Great Qin!
The area around Chang'an immediately turned into a sea of joy.
The young man's expression was shaken and somewhat pale; the cohesion of the Qin people was truly terrifying.
Celebrating the nation's victory, these are all martyrs for the country!
Moreover, even Liu Bang was killed?
Even after achieving a great victory in Guanzhong, the Qin army still sent troops to attack Liu Bang, who was in power at the time.
Just how powerful is the Qin state now?
To defeat Wei in the northeast and Nanyang in the southeast—is this something a group of armies capable of destroying a state could accomplish?
Even if the feudal lords of the world were to make a comeback, these two territories, already devastated, would be unable to muster any strength to attack Qin.
Is it possible that we're going to launch another attack on Qin at Hangu Pass?
As he pondered, the young man's expression turned somewhat pale.
"Li Xin, could it be that Li Xin...?"
Even this guy has come out of retirement?
In an instant, a storm of emotions surged within him.
Sima Xin's voluntary return to the Qin state was actually quite strange.
Why did all these people, who were alienated from Qin or whose whereabouts were unknown, suddenly reappear during the reign of the Second Emperor? Did they unite together?
Now that all these people have returned to Qin, who exactly is in Qin now?
