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

Xiang Yu was shocked by this sudden news and asked, "Isn't my father joking?"

"Of course it's true. Lü Matong has only sent over the general information so far. In this battle, Zhang Han's army caused Liu Bang to flee in a sorry state, and very few of the 15,000 Han soldiers were able to return."

"It is said that even Fan Kuai died in battle."

Xiang Yu, unusually serious, asked with a grave expression, "Is Liu Bang really that useless?"

He suddenly wondered whether Liu Bang was too incompetent or the Qin army was too strong.

The 30,000 Qin soldiers given to Zhang Han were handed over by his own orders. No one knew better than him that they were a bunch of remnants with virtually no fighting ability.

It was this group of people who wiped out Liu Bang's elite troops and forced him to flee in a sorry state.

That doesn't seem possible at all.

Xiang Yu became even more disdainful: "It seems we overestimated Liu Bang; his fighting prowess is nothing special."

Fan Zeng shook his head: "That's not the case. In this battle, we had the weapons and armor that we prepared for the Qin army, and Zhang Han had also arranged defenses in advance. Yet we still failed to kill Liu Bang. Apart from Fan Kuai, the Han army does have some tricks up their sleeve."

Seeing that Xiang Yu was somewhat unconvinced, Fan Zeng continued, "If it were any other warlord like Liu Bang, who fell into Zhang Han's trap, how many of them would have been able to break out?"

Xiang Yu nodded. Zhang Han was a general who could be considered worthy of his attention. This guy led the Qin convict army so bravely that the feudal lords of the world did not know how to fight back.

When I went north, I became famous throughout the world for the Battle of Julu, which was to rescue the State of Zhao.

It was quite an achievement for Liu Bang to escape from Zhang Han's side.

"Zhang Han was able to win this battle because of favorable timing, location, and people. He only killed Fan Kuai and did not seriously damage Liu Bang."

"However, Zhang Han also demonstrated some strength in this battle. We can give him some troops to completely keep Liu Bang trapped in that cage of Ba and Shu!"

Xiang Yu spoke casually, since they were all just his pawns anyway.

Liu Bang will be even more cautious going forward, and a deadly struggle with the Qin people is something he wants to see.

In the struggle between Qin and Han, the King of Chu benefited!

Fan Zeng pondered for a moment, then spoke with some concern: "Zhang Han is no benevolent man. Giving him more troops might be like raising a tiger that will eventually turn on us..."

Xiang Yu burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

“Father, I know more about military affairs than you do. Zhang Han is no tiger now; he's just leading a bunch of sick cats.”

"The Qin state has been destroyed, and the Qin army has no will to fight. They can only deal with people like Liu Bang."

"I slaughtered 200,000 Qin soldiers, and the Qin people resent Zhang Han, but no Qin person would be willing to serve this tiger!"

Fan Zeng nodded, agreeing with Xiang Yu's point.

"That's right. The Qin army is just a bunch of old and weak left, and the Qin people don't support Zhang Han. We just need to control the support given to Zhang Han and let him hold off Liu Bang."

Fan Zeng muttered to himself, but he also felt that Liu Bang alone was not a very safe bet.

The turbulent Qin and Han dynasties were in Xiang Yu's best interest.

In his daze, Fan Zeng had already come up with some ideas.

……

Liu Bang's camp.

"Xiang Yu, you brat, you've gone too far!"

Back at the camp, Liu Bang continued to curse, and all the civil and military officials present were filled with grief.

It was getting dark, and fewer than a thousand soldiers were still able to return to the camp.

15,000 elite troops—these were Liu Bang's direct subordinates, many of whom were brave warriors who had followed him in battles from Dang County onwards. And just like that, they were gone!

How could Liu Bang not be angry?

Not to mention Fan Kuai, his right-hand man who fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He died in battle protecting Liu Bang during his retreat!

"Your Majesty, the battle damage has been reported."

Xiao He sighed.

"This time, we lost 14,000 soldiers, more than 500 cavalrymen were killed in battle, and General Fan Kuai was also killed in action!"

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Liu Bang's mental defenses were still completely broken down at this moment!

"My heart aches so much..."

Everyone was immersed in a somber atmosphere. Since the Han army started its uprising in Dang County, it had almost never encountered such a critical situation.

Xiahou Ying roared, "Your Majesty, the world has destroyed Qin, and the Qin state has been destroyed. Yet Xiang Yu still wants to use the destruction of a state to deal with us. It is truly hateful!"

"Xiang Yu is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He provided the Qin army with plenty of soldiers and food, and even gave them his personal guards. There must be a cunning and resourceful person among the Qin army this time."

"Xiang Yu has made it clear that he intends to destroy our Han army!"

"Let's fight Xiang Yu to the death!"

After grief comes extreme anger!

Compared to the Qin army, this was their enemy.

What angered them even more was Xiang Yu, who had armed the Qin army.

"And that scoundrel Lü Matong, even if it costs the Han army, we must avenge General Fan Kuai."

Cao Shen also roared in anger.

Although some minor conflicts gradually arose among these loyal ministers of Fengpei, their interests were aligned, and their past friendship, forged through life-or-death experiences, remained.

More importantly, Fan Kuai was a fierce general in the Han army!

His death in battle undoubtedly crippled the Han army.

It was no secret that Lü Matong was their spy who had betrayed them.

They now harbor extreme resentment towards the traitor!

Xiao He, who was usually good at calming everyone down, was also somewhat silent at this moment.

"Report..."

Just then, a soldier rushed in from outside: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Many soldiers in the camp have started fighting!"

Liu Bang suddenly stood up, his bloodshot eyes seeming to want to kill: "What's going on?"

"The soldiers who returned today haven't eaten yet. General Guan Ying just ordered the diversion of another battalion's provisions, and somehow a fight broke out."

Liu Bang stopped abruptly as he was about to rush out.

Food supplies, food supplies, how could he not know why a fight broke out?

The Han camp has not much food, and the generals are holding onto it tightly. If Guan Ying orders the misappropriation of supplies, it may end up as robbery!

Liu Bang suddenly felt dizzy!

"Why do they all betray me!"

"Youyou Cang Tian, ​​how can you treat me less favorably?"

Liu Bang roared in frustration!

After the crushing defeat in the battle, he was now even more furious about Zhao Long's departure.

The grain and fodder that were originally supplied to the camp were gone, and the invincible strategy provided by that usually cautious person was also gone!

As he pondered this, Liu Bang slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Zhao Long, you deserve to die!"

If it weren't for Zhao Long's betrayal and the loss of supplies, he wouldn't have taken the risk of attacking the Qin army now.

If it weren't for Zhao Long's betrayal, the Han army wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat; they were already in dire straits!

Liu Bang's chest heaved as he thought about it and grew angrier. Zhao Long was also one of Xiang Yu's men!

Liu Bang finally roared, "Let's go! This matter is not over yet! I will personally go to Xiang Yu and demand an explanation!"

Without turning his head, Liu Bang led his enraged Han generals and charged towards the Chu camp.

Enough is enough, even the ninja turtle Liu Bang is about to lose his temper.
