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

In the Chang'an grain and provisions camp, under the sunlight, Fan Kuai had completely lost his mind.

"He's quite the formidable general, but that's where it ends."

Zhao Long watched from a distance, his pupils contracting.

He had already seen the situation on Liu Bang's side. With Guan Ying coming to kill, Lü Matong would no longer have a chance to kill Liu Bang.

The chosen one is not so easy to die.

He could find a solution even for the Siege of Baideng, let alone this small regional clash.

However, once the Qin Dynasty rises again, all the feudal lords in the world are destined to be its enemies!

The whole world is our enemy!

This has nothing to do with any personal emotions.

The Qin dynasty's path to imperial power was built upon the corpses and bones of the feudal lords, and the feudal lords' hegemony was built upon the backs of the Qin people.

It's destined to be a life-or-death struggle between the two sides.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were both destined to be Qin's greatest enemies.

Being in a position of authority and fulfilling one's responsibilities is something Zhao Long has always strived to do well.

He was once Liu Bang's military advisor, serving in the effort to overthrow the Qin Dynasty.

Now, all he wants is to help the Qin Dynasty destroy all the feudal lords in the world.

The day the broken sword is reforged will be the day the knight returns!

He was Qin's sharpest sword, ready to unleash its full power. He would at least kill one of Liu Bang's generals first, and then collect some interest.

Fan Kuai was the butcher among Liu Bang's four sages, a true right-hand man.

Taking Han Xin away and killing Fan Kuai would greatly weaken Liu Bang's power.

Furthermore, Fan Kuai's head could be exchanged for even more benefits from Xiang Yu!

"Fan Kuai must die."

"Issue the order: whoever kills Fan Kuai will be granted a rank of nobility."

Qin awarded titles based on military merit. Soldiers fought on the battlefield to earn military merit and be granted titles. That was the spiritual belief of the Qin army!

Qin considered it an honor to bestow titles upon those who were granted them!

The second emperor had shattered the soldiers' faith, failing to reward them for great victories and instead engaging in constant petty actions.

Zhao Long, however, would not let such an excellent belief mechanism go to waste.

With Zhang Han already enfeoffed as a king, and with Zhang Han's endorsement of military merit as the basis for granting titles, the Qin army was at its most vulnerable and sharpest when it was at its most broken.

In an instant, the Qin soldiers became even more courageous, including the inner envoy Bao.

"go to hell……"

Fan Kuai's double halberds were already smoking from being swung, but he still couldn't fight off four hands with two fists.

"Shh-"

A young Qin general's spear pierced Fan Kuai's abdomen, stirring up blood. Even though Fan Kuai immediately swung his halberd to force the attacker back, he was already swaying precariously and could only kneel on the ground, supporting himself on the halberd handle.

He was exhausted; the continuous fighting had already pushed his body to its limits.

Now he even has a desire to get rid of it as soon as possible.

He just can't fall down yet!

"King of Han! I can hold off the Qin traitors for you a little longer!"

"Hahaha!"

Fan Kuai laughed loudly, his eyes revealing a fierce look. The aura of a butcher, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, did not frighten the Qin army.

"kill him!"

The young general shouted and charged out again, his eyes fixed on Fan Kuai.

The surrounding Qin army was in the same situation.

Fan Kuai was not only an enemy, but also a contributor to their military achievements!

The Qin soldiers' belief in defending their homeland was unwavering, and earning military merit and titles was also a matter of faith!

This is proof of their bloodshed and glory for the country!

"Fan Kuai."

Guan Ying had already arrived with several hundred cavalrymen as reinforcements, but he felt as if the world was collapsing.

Surrounded by the Qin army, he couldn't even see Fan Kuai's shadow. Anxious and burning with worry, he kept speeding up.

"Fan Kuai, wait for me."

Amidst Guan Ying's furious roar, he heard a voice filled with extreme joy.

"Fan Kuai is dead! Hahaha, Fan Kuai is dead!"

Guan Ying's eyes widened in fury, and his roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth: "You Qin traitors, how dare you kill my Han general!"

The Qin army didn't care about anything else now; the young Qin generals went straight to snatch Fan Kuai's head.

Fan Kuai fell, a dozen Qin army spears piercing his chest. He felt the world before his eyes blurring rapidly, and he was completely suffocating.

He looked around at the world with blurred vision, and his eyes remained wide open until his death.

"Why!"

"Why does the Qin army still have such methods and morale?"

"Military merits are rewarded with titles, and some in the Qin army continue to receive this honor."

"There must be someone deeply hidden within the Qin army. Who could it be?"

Fan Kuai couldn't understand how the Qin army, which was originally composed of the old, weak, sick, and dejected, had transformed into a group of fearless and elite soldiers.

Even though they were indeed thin and physically weak, their fighting spirit was no less than that of the elite Qin army that the Han army encountered when they marched north.

Who exactly brought these bewildered old wolves back together?

But before he could even process all of this, he collapsed to the ground, motionless.

The world before him began to spin, and the last thing he saw was his own body.

The young Qin general raised his spear, which held Fan Kuai's severed head.

"Fan Kuai is dead! You traitors of Han, why don't you surrender!"

Not far away, the kind-hearted Guan Ying also completely lost his usual gentle demeanor and let out a deafening roar!

"Do not……"

He arrived too late; Fan Kuai had already died amidst the Qin army's encirclement.

Guan Ying felt that even breathing had become extremely difficult.

"let's go."

Fan Kuai was already dead, so there was no point in him rushing over there.

The surrounding Han cavalry also breathed a sigh of relief.

They charged forward, and in the sunlight, the battlefield inside and outside the camp was even clearer to see, littered with corpses!

Amidst such terrifying horror, they no longer wanted to charge into the crazed Qin army, as that would clearly be suicide.

Fortunately, Guan Ying did not lose his mind, and everyone followed him away.

Guan Ying led his cavalry, with Han infantry reinforcements behind him. Lü Matong, seeing that he had missed his chance to kill Liu Bang, was still furious and immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow.

It would be better if Liu Bang became the dead Liu Bang.

Even with numerous cavalry protecting him, Liu Bang still needed time to break through their blockade.

At this moment, Liu Bang was still keeping a close eye on the situation in the camp and was not in a hurry to leave.

"Whoosh-"

An arrow suddenly shot through the air. Xiahou Ying, who was standing nearby, reacted instantly and pushed Liu Bang away, but it was too late. The arrow pierced Liu Bang's earlobe.

"Ah, it hurts so much!"

Liu Bang let out a scream that shook heaven and earth and made ghosts weep.

Liu Bang couldn't help but burst into tears. He was the first King of Han to enter Guanzhong and the first person to destroy Qin. How could he have fallen to such a state?

A heaven, a hell.

He felt a stinging sensation in his nose, and tears streamed down his face. His pierced ear was hanging with some flesh and blood, making his large ear look quite eerie.

At this moment, Guan Ying also returned: "Your Majesty, why are your ears... so big and red?"

Liu Bang was already broken down, in unbearable pain.

Lu Matong saw no further opportunity to shoot Liu Bang and secretly regretted it, so he could only pick up his spear and kill him.

"Kill the one with the big ears who is bleeding first; that is Liu Bang."

"Protect the King and get him out of here."

Guan Ying didn't say much, but Liu Bang, even though he was in excruciating pain, held Guan Ying's hand tightly and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.

Guan Ying couldn't hold back his tears and gritted his teeth as he spoke: "This humble general is guilty. I failed to save General Fan Kuai. He was beheaded by the Qin army."

Liu Bang's eyes widened, he pinched his ear with one hand and covered his chest with the other, then collapsed onto Guan Ying.

"General Fan Kuai did a great job, beheading at least a hundred people. However, there were simply too many Qin soldiers, and with such a fierce general by his side, General Fan Kuai was unable to hold out until I could provide reinforcements."

Guan Ying's attempt to comfort Liu Bang only made things worse, causing Liu Bang to faint.

Liu Bang coughed up blood, his heart filled with extreme grief: "Fan Kuai, how could you leave me like this?"
