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

Chapter 187 Liu Bang's Last Hope Shattered Chen Ping looked angrily at Zhao Long. What a vicious person! Killing someone and destroying their spirit is not enough; he actually wants to make him infamous for eternity!

Zhao Long didn't actually have this idea; Chen Ping's merits and demerits will be judged by future generations.

Chen Ping, at present, seems to have harmed all countries in the world, and now he has harmed Lou Fan.

In fact, he played an extremely important role in the reconstruction of the Qin Dynasty. This can also be considered a tribute to Chen Ping, after all, he was a notorious strategist in history.

Let him leave a greater mark on history.

However, Qin's military law is military law, and anyone whose hands are stained with the blood of Qin's people shall die!

The distant battle gradually dissipated, turning into a hunting game for the Qin army.

"Your Majesty, I request permission to execute this traitor."

Covered in blood, Lü Sheng was utterly exhausted after the battle, but upon hearing that he had captured a fellow who was both a Chu soldier and a defector to the Loufan people, he rushed back as fast as he could.

His eyes lit up with excitement.

It can both avenge Wang Zhong and kill the guy who allowed the Loufan to rise again.

It would also be possible to fulfill Wang Zhong's dying wish and kill Xiang Yu.

Let's start by killing the general of Chu.

"give it to you."

Zhao Long looked out at the distant sky and earth. This bloody war, like Chen Ping's death, was about to end.

"No, you can't kill me..."

"Your Majesty, I know a great deal about the Chu army and am willing to assist the Qin state!"

"Your Majesty..."

Chen Ping shouted anxiously, but could only see an utterly indifferent back view.

He doesn't need Zhao Long's gratitude.

He can't bear it.

However, his voice received no response.

He was dragged away by Lü Sheng.

……

The cold wind that blew made Zhao Long shiver; the desolate wilderness at night was even colder.

But for the residents of Loufan Village, it was truly a plunge into a cold hell.

Blood was everywhere.

The Qin soldiers began cleaning up the battlefield. When they saw the Loufan man still panting, they rushed up and stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

Even if they suspect someone is still alive, they will mercilessly deliver the final blow.

Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Long with extreme excitement.

After killing Chen Ping, he personally erected a monument for Chen Ping, using the blood of the Loufan people.

"Your Majesty, Qin will surely win! Qin will surely kill Xiang Yu!"

Lü Sheng was extremely excited.

Unexpectedly, the Qin state that he and Wang Zhong had imagined, the one they had dreamed of so many times, had actually become a reality.

The Qin army has become so powerful.

Under the moonlight, a faint halo enveloped the blood-red world; how could this not be hell?

Wild beasts roamed the wilderness, but were frightened by the ferocity of the Qin soldiers and dared not approach.

Doesn't this mean that the Qin army was more ferocious than wild beasts?

Lu Sheng had witnessed far more bloody worlds, but this was the one fought by the Qin army, and he felt his blood boiling.

He no longer lived alone, but carried on Wang Zhong's last wishes.

The Qin state will definitely be able to defeat Xiang Yu!

"We will win."

Zhao Long's eyes showed no joy; he had witnessed such a fierce battle many times before.

Finally, with Chen Ping's help, the Qin army won this time.

The collapse of the 3,000-strong vanguard of the Loufan army directly affected the main force of the Loufan army in the rear, causing the overall morale of the Loufan army to be scattered.

When the Qin army was surrounded from three sides, victory in this war was destined to belong to Qin.

It's a pity about Chen Ping.

Disposable consumables!

Zhao Long stood before the Chenkeng Stele with a deep gaze; he was buried beneath this stele.

He had once considered subduing this treacherous schemer as well.

Chen Ping's schemes were often ruthless and harmful, but for a monarch, harming the enemy was not a major problem.

From the perspective of the King of Qin, Chen Ping made significant contributions to the Qin state.

The surrounding area was filled with Loufan warhorses that had lost their riders, and the value of these warhorses alone was immeasurable!

However, Chen Ping was also one of the most ruthless strategists of that era.

They'll stop at nothing, those apathetic people...

There was a portion of the harm caused by Chen Ping.

Moreover, Chen Ping's original intention was to flatten Guanzhong, completely stir up the winds and clouds in the west, make the situation even more chaotic, and once again cause bloodshed in Guanzhong.

Zhao Long wouldn't force such talent.

Even with Chen Ping's eventual surrender, it wasn't for Qin's sake; he was simply out of fear.

Zhao Long had also considered letting Chen Ping leave again.

First, the allied forces sent money, provisions, and able-bodied men, then the Loufan tribe sent horses; Chen Ping was always on the path of assisting the Qin Dynasty.

Perhaps, Chen Keng can once again demonstrate his formidable skills.

However, Zhao Long did not want to gamble that one of Chen Ping's future schemes could actually harm the Qin army.

"In one's position, one should do one's job." Even someone like Chen Ping, who may have selfish motives, would do his best in whatever position he was in.

He was Qin's enemy, never a friend.

"Your Majesty, more than 10,000 Loufan people were beheaded in the battle, many of whom died from fighting among themselves."

"The number of warhorses captured so far exceeds 30,000."

Wang Ben came over with delight to report that he no longer needed to personally participate in the remaining pursuit.

His achievements are already sufficient; the credit should be given to more young people.

However, he couldn't suppress the overwhelming joy in his heart.

The Great Wall Legion's first battle after its reconstruction, a major battle on the wasteland, allowed this legion to undergo a phoenix-like rebirth.

Lou Fan was destroyed, and Chen Ping died.

"Thank you for your hard work, Father."

Zhao Long said softly.

"After this battle, we must quickly replenish our troops from General Yang's new recruit camp and ensure that the Great Wall Legion can regain its fighting strength as soon as possible."

Even if this is a great victory, the Great Wall Legion will suffer significant losses.

This group of elite troops, having undergone rigorous training, will also become a sharp blade in the fight against the Chu army.

Wang Ben nodded solemnly. With the addition of Lü Matong and Han Xin's two cavalry guards, the Qin army would have 20,000 elite cavalry.

Apart from Xiang Yu, no one else in the world has so many elite cavalry!

Judging by the days, Xiang Yu should be arriving soon.

Wang Ben immediately rushed back to the battlefield and issued several orders: there was no need to pursue them too far. The scattered Loufan people had killed each other and could not regroup. In the short term, they posed no threat to Qin.

After this battle, the eyes of the entire world will be focused on Hangu Pass.

……

Outside Pengcheng, Liu Bang looked back reluctantly.

In his heart, he cursed, "Damn Xiang Yu."

Then, from the side, came a voice filled with extreme grievance: "King Han..."

"Emperor Yi need not worry. The Overlord simply knows that Emperor Yi misses his old capital and wants him to go back and visit."

"I will join many ministers of Chu to escort Emperor Yi on his journey."

Liu Bang quickly spoke up to reassure Emperor Yi.

This was his last hope for a comeback.

During this time, Liu Bang, having survived a calamity, was extremely excited to find Emperor Yi again after passing through Xiang Yu's territory.

Xiang Yu was extremely arrogant. Not only did he seize all power, but he also ignored the voices of the Chu nobles and even carried out massacres.

This led to these Chu nobles, who prioritized their own interests, gradually uniting around Emperor Yi.

They were dissatisfied with Xiang Yu.

As for Liu Bang, a loyal minister who had joined Emperor Yi and had previously gained the emperor's trust, and who was used to counterbalance Xiang Yu, he would naturally receive more support.

Not to mention rebuilding 100,000 Han soldiers.

He had already infiltrated Emperor Yi's inner circle and was secretly helping him raise troops. In a sense, these troops were also part of the Han army.

The more arrogant Xiang Yu was, the more money he made!

However, what Liu Bang did not expect was that Xiang Yu had become so arrogant that he had lost his mind.

He had only just begun to prepare his actions when Xiang Yu suddenly wanted to send Emperor Yi back to Ying, the former capital of Chu.

This essentially shattered Liu Bang's last hope.

If he goes to that godforsaken old capital, he'll have no chance at all.

However, when Emperor Yi left the city, a large number of Chu officials and generals from Pengcheng saw him off, including many who had already surrendered to Xiang Yu.

Liu Bang was still planning one last struggle, trying to win over some people and leave a good impression, just in case they might come in handy later.

At this moment, Xiang Yu stood on the city wall, and the scene before him filled his eyes with an extremely ruthless killing intent.
