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

Not long after, a young man in military uniform strode over and bowed respectfully to Zhao Long.

"Greetings, Military Advisor General."

The man who arrived was none other than Han Xin.

Throughout Liu Bang's army, the only person Zhao Long wanted to take with him when he left was this guy in front of him.

In this chaos, Zhao Long's perfect plan is to minimize casualties and ultimately crush the hidden dragon in the north and the rat in the east.

But for Zhao Long, it was an open-book exam!

Han Xin originally served in Xiang Yu's army. After Xiang Yu's army entered Xianyang and began a large-scale massacre, Han Xin became extremely disappointed in Xiang Yu.

The moment Zhao Long left the Chu army and joined Liu Bang, he learned of this man.

More importantly, Han Xin was not one to be subservient to others. As soon as he arrived, he went around the military camp to find out the movements of the Han army and the situation of the generals, making himself look like a spy.

Upon hearing the news of Han Xin, Zhao Long immediately brought him into his own camp and appointed him as the Commandant of Grain Supply. They have been working together for over a month now.

Knowing that this person is actually a rough gem that has been polished to a near-perfect state, there's no need to hide anything from him.

"I am preparing to leave the Han army."

Han Xin, who was bowing with his hands clasped, suddenly felt an incredibly sharp gaze.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could still see the cold arrows around him that weren't well hidden.

A chilling aura, like that of death, enveloped Han Xin, making his scalp tingle.

"General, why?"

Han Xin forced himself to speak.

Zhao Long sighed, "There is no place for me in the Han army camp. I must leave, otherwise I fear I will be killed if I go to Shu!"

Han Xin had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the intricacies of the Han army camp, but how could Zhao Long not understand?

As Liu Bang's power grew, his dissatisfaction and anger towards Xiang Yu had long since reached a breaking point.

If Liu Bang couldn't defeat Xiang Yu, couldn't he at least vent his anger on himself, a fellow Jiangdong native?

With the Fengpei Group completely opposed to him, Liu Bang would certainly not stand with him.

Liu Bang also needed to vent!

Zhao Long knew very well what kind of person he was after all these years of getting to know him.

Although Liu Bang and his associates held official positions, they actually exhausted the people.

Exhausted people are also called scoundrels.

Liu Bang still possessed a certain sense of chivalry, but I am not one of those who share that sense of chivalry!

Those who are not his brothers are the ones he wants to kill!

As Zhao Long pondered this, without waiting for Han Xin to ask further questions, a fire also surged within him.

Emperor Gaozu saw only two heroes: the scholar from Huaiyin and the one with double pupils.

Liu Bang truly regarded only his trusted ministers from Fengpei and Han Xin as important officials.

Liu Bang wasn't very righteous, so of course he wanted to collect some interest before he left!

Zhao Long immediately said, "I wish to leave, but I cannot bear to part with you."

"A general's strategy and destiny are intertwined with the fate of a great man."

"You will surely rise to the top and reign supreme one day!"

Zhao Long's burning gaze seemed to want to see a hole through Han Xin.

Zhao Long couldn't be sure what this great man of all time was really thinking, since he had only spent a short time with Han Xin.

All I know is that this person is extremely arrogant!

In this urgent situation, Zhao Long chose to pressure Han Xin into making a decision.

Han Xin was a smart man; he would surely understand what he meant.

At this moment, Han Xin finally understood what the current situation was.

Zhao Long wanted to leave, and he wanted to take me with him!

The self-admiration and confidence he exuded in his words were something even Han Xin himself had doubted—whether he could ever achieve that level of self-confidence.

This is the ultimate praise, surpassing all others; above that is the emperor.

With such praise and hidden troops lurking nearby, Zhao Long was forcing himself to make a choice.

It's either death or we go together!

If you don’t get it, destroy it!

In an instant, countless thoughts surged through Han Xin's mind, and he was even somewhat pleased.

His talent has finally been recognized!

"I was able to support Liu Ji in being enfeoffed as the King of Han, and in the future I can also support a King of Chu and a King of Qi. I have famous generals under my command who will dominate Helü!"

If Han Xin had hesitated even for a moment when addressing the 'famous general of all time,' it would have been disrespectful. He immediately bowed deeply with utmost respect.

"Since I entered the military camp, I have heard that the military advisor general is strict in enforcing military discipline, in charge of military affairs, and also assists in managing the grain and fodder. The military advisor general's abilities are comparable to those of Guan Zhong and Yue Yi."

"I believe that you value me highly, General. From now on, I will serve you with my life, even unto death."

A smile finally appeared on Zhao Long's face, and all the hidden guards around him disappeared.

He personally went forward and helped Han Xin up.

You will never regret the choices you make today.

"In today's situation, expediency dictated the course of events, and I, Long, offer my apologies!"

Zhao Long also clasped his hands and bowed slightly to Han Xin, which startled Han Xin so much that he jumped up. He wanted to help Zhao Long up, but then felt that his hands were too dirty and he couldn't tarnish the image of this elegant young man.

But deep down, he felt extremely proud.

He suffered the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs, so what!

There will always be a discerning eye in the world who can discover his brilliance.

When has he ever been so highly regarded, to the point that someone personally apologized to him?

At that moment, Han Xin felt his blood boiling.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

The ruler treats him as a national hero, and the national hero repays him.

Zhao Long was not currently the ruler, but from the moment Han Xin appeared before him, he treated Han Xin with great courtesy.

Now, it seems my plan to win them over has succeeded.

This is Han Xin, after all.

A peerless national hero, one of the four sages of military strategy, and a military genius of the Han Dynasty!

The Qin dynasty collapsed too quickly, eventually turning into the Chu-Han Contention. Han Xin was the one who left the most significant mark in this chaotic battle!

Regardless of future plans or which powerful figure he chooses to support, Han Xin will become a pillar of strength for the entire faction.

"It's fortunate that Xiao He hasn't discovered this kid yet and I haven't gotten rid of him."

After Zhao Long got up, he felt somewhat relieved.

As soon as Han Xin appeared in the military camp, he was won over and became the Chief of Grain Supply under his command.

Currently, even those loyal followers of Feng Pei, who have some necessary contact with Han Xin, will distance themselves from him because they dislike him, and have not yet discovered Han Xin's talent.

Otherwise, his current empty promises are no match for the bargaining chips that Xiao He and Liu Bang could offer directly.

Even more incomparable is the geographical affinity between Han Xin and their Huaihai Entrepreneurial Group.

"Go and make your preparations first; we'll leave tonight."

After Han Xin left, an armored soldier emerged from behind the screen and asked worriedly, "My lord, could this man betray us and report us to the King of Han?"

This man was Zhao Ben, a Qin general whom I had saved when I had given away all my wealth to raise an army of a hundred men and joined Liu Bang's army.

Over the years, Zhao Ben has led the original hundred men and become Zhao Long's trusted confidant.

Zhao Long knew from the beginning that one should never overestimate the affection of an emperor.

Liu Bang was first and foremost a ruler; only after the distinction between ruler and subject was established could the concept of affection be discussed.

Moreover, he and Liu Bang hadn't developed any deep friendship yet.

These hundred men, ostensibly Zhao Long's personal guards, were actually kept as death squads as a means of self-preservation.

"Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Liu Bang disliked me?"

But which general in the army doesn't train some trusted guards?

None of this matters to Zhao Long now. Since things have come to this, let's just take Han Xin away and leave the Han camp!

Without Han Xin, it was undoubtedly like cutting off one of Liu Bang's arms.
