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

Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Many of the civil and military officials under Xiang Yu rose to power by supporting Emperor Yi.

It was only because Xiang Yu grew rapidly and became very famous that people gradually came together with him.

When Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, he had already effectively sidelined Emperor Yi.

Leaving Emperor Yi in Pengcheng was a way to win over the hearts of the people.

But why did Xiang Yu fly into a rage upon hearing the words "Emperor Yi" and want to expel him?

The so-called longing for the old capital of Chu was nothing more than feeling that Emperor Yi's presence in Pengcheng was too obstructive.

Only a few people in the know sighed inwardly.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, especially since the name of Emperor Yi is too unique.

When Xiang Yu went north to support Julu, he was a deputy general. He disobeyed Emperor Yi's order, killed a general of Chu, seized power, and forced Emperor Yi to acknowledge Xiang Yu's status.

Later, in order to suppress Xiang Yu, Emperor Yi established the agreement that "whoever enters Guanzhong first shall be king".

After Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong, Emperor Yi ordered that Xiang Yu fulfill his promise and enfeoff Liu Bang, who had entered Guanzhong first, as the King of Guanzhong.

At that time, Xiang Yu and Emperor Yi completely parted ways!

They felt that Xiang Yu had been merciful enough to have spared Emperor Yi until now.

It was the ever-changing political landscape that allowed Xiang Yu to leave behind the Righteous Emperor to this day.

The conflict between the two sides has now reached an irreconcilable point!

Xiang Yu's massacre of nobles and acquisition of grain and supplies has angered a group of Chu nobles, and he has recently been in closer contact with Emperor Yi!

Xiang Yu is now the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, holding immense power and being incredibly strong. He will not allow anyone to shake his position and authority.

Yu Ziqi clasped his hands and said, "The Overlord's concern for the Righteous Emperor is commendable!"

He was a staunch supporter of Xiang Yu, so naturally everything he did was based on Xiang Yu's will.

Moreover, Emperor Yi's current position is indeed quite awkward.

At this time, those nobles were still thinking about supporting Emperor Yi and didn't know how to curry favor with Xiang Yu!

Long Qie immediately stood up and expressed his support.

Although the others were somewhat reluctant, Xiang Yu had made it clear that he was determined, and no one dared to provoke him at this time.

Everyone expressed their support.

This pleased Xiang Yu greatly.

"Then pass on the order, this matter is entrusted to you."

Xiang Yu looked at Long Ju, his most loyal and valiant general, who would surely bring him good news.

A twisted smile played on his lips.

……

Fan Zeng hadn't actually gone far. After everyone dispersed, he found Yu Ziqi.

A voice filled with gritted teeth rang out: "Why did you support the Overlord's early deployment of troops just now!"

If it weren't for this bastard giving Xiang Yu hope, where would he have gotten such strength!

Yu Ziqi smiled helplessly: "Sir, you are unaware of..."

He gave a general account of the situation within the State of Chu.

"Now, Liu Bang is following Emperor Yi, along with various noble families of Chu, who also intend to support Liu Bang's resurgence and contend with the Hegemon."

Fan Zeng took a deep breath, and his already throbbing head became even more 'buzzing'!

Now that we realize Liu Bang's importance, if we had killed him back then, wouldn't we be free of all this trouble?

Even if we take a step back and assume that the Qin state rises again, the current undercurrents on Emperor Yi's side are all because Liu Bang did not die at the Feast at Hongmen!

With Liu Bang dead, there was no need to support Guanzhong, and therefore no chance for Zhao Long to risk everything to rebuild the Qin Dynasty!

Fan Zeng sighed inwardly. The Chu state was also rife with internal conflicts, and he could understand Yu Ziqi's decision to raise an army as soon as possible.

This forced the nobles of Chu to support Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was, after all, the true trump card of the Chu state, and no one wanted to see a Qin state rise again, especially these Chu nobles.

No wonder Xiang Yu was so dissatisfied with Emperor Yi; he had taken away his power and was even trying to make some underhanded moves.

"Summon the feudal lords, still in the name of Emperor Yi."

Fan Zeng said in a deep voice.

Yu Ziqi did not refuse, and watched Fan Zeng leave, but still did not reveal that Xiang Yu had decided to drive away Emperor Yi.

This guy was quite old, and his face was pale. He was afraid that Fan Zeng would be so angry that he would die.

A chill gradually rose in Yu Ziqi's eyes: "As long as we defeat Qin again, no one will be able to shake the position of the Hegemon!"

Even if we drive out Emperor Yi, as long as Emperor Yi disappears forever, who would dare to oppose us?

……

A huge storm has begun to brew in the State of Chu.

The sword is already pointed towards the Qin state, ready to strike at any moment and pierce through Qin's heart, Hangu Pass.

The feudal lords of the world will soon be drawn into the conflict because of the actions of the State of Chu.

At this time, a huge storm was brewing in the wilderness north of Fushi in the Qin state.

On the desolate plains, three thousand ferocious Loufan people were wantonly humiliating the people of Qin. They treated them like livestock, even occasionally letting a few escape and chasing them for pleasure.

They are ruthless; some are even strong men capable of tearing a person apart.

However, the closer Chen Ping got to Fushi, the more uneasy he felt.

He raised his eyes in confusion, looking towards the horizon where there seemed to be some dark clouds; the weather hadn't been very good for the past few days.

"The sky is very gloomy!"

Chen Ping felt a sense of oppression and suffocation in his chest, and there was no trace of the confident smile he had shown when he was inciting the Loufan people to march south and personally taking command of the troops as bait.

Previously, whenever I had this premonition, it meant that something bad was about to happen.

"Where exactly did things go wrong this time?"

Chen Ping looked around at the desolate wilderness with a headache. It was the end of the world, the domain of nomadic tribes.

Moreover, he was leading three thousand elite Loufan troops.

Even in his view, the best among these Loufan were comparable to the elite Chu army.

They were born to be warriors on horseback, and some even ate meat year-round and fought constantly. In terms of sheer bravery, they might be even stronger than Xiang Yu's Jiangdong men.

Chen Ping murmured softly, "The Qin cavalry has at most around ten thousand. Even if they all come, we should be able to hold them off and retreat while fighting."

Now, the Loufan King's elite Loufan troops are less than fifty miles behind. If he can hold out for an hour or two, the Loufan elite troops will be able to rush to his aid.

Chen Ping didn't think they would give up.

He had served in the Chu army and knew about the Chu elite cavalry, whose greatest advantage was their speed.

But in the wilderness, when cavalry clash, it's a battle of the brave that ends in victory.

He had never seen the Qin cavalry in person, but the Qin cavalry had only been formed recently, and even if they had absorbed some of the elite Wei cavalry, their combat strength should still be inferior to that of the Chu army.

Chen Ping pondered and made plans to reassure himself, but the feeling of unease grew stronger and stronger.

At that moment, he heard a commotion coming from afar.

"what happened?"

Highly vigilant, Chen Ping immediately asked in a deep voice and quickly approached.

Before the servant could answer, he looked up at the horizon. The scene that met his eyes filled Chen Ping with extreme fear, and he trembled all over.
