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

Zhao Long understood Zhao Ben's concerns, picked up the feather fan again, and smiled confidently.

"Don't worry, Han Xin is loyal and righteous, he will not betray you."

A peerless hero!

Even such a great man, a figure of unparalleled talent, ultimately died at the hands of his own people.

Han Xin was proud and longed to use his talents to lead an army of 100,000 to conquer the battlefield.

Since they are willing to follow me, they won't change their minds easily.

Zhao Long was able to see this clearly.

If Xiang Yu hadn't been so incompetent, Han Xin might never have left the Chu army.

Zhao Ben was still somewhat worried: "Should I send someone to keep an eye on things?"

Zhao Ben led the Qin army in fierce resistance, and Liu Bang, being hot-tempered, wanted nothing more than to tear Zhao Ben to pieces after finally defeating him.

Zhao Long saved him, and from then on he was loyal to Zhao Long and became his right-hand man and confidant.

During this period, Zhao Ben secretly tested Han Xin several times and always felt that this man was not simple.

"No need, are all our things ready?"

"Rest assured, my lord, everything is ready. In addition to the brothers in the camp, the rest of the men are waiting outside and can leave at any time."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Long sighed deeply and glanced reluctantly at the tent.

"Come for a walk with me."

This is the result of his two years of hard work and countless efforts!

Before transmigrating, as an ordinary person, even with the advantage of an open-book exam, he was still unable to reconcile all aspects.

Offering advice and strategies to Liu Bang, whether it was the art of strategy or strict military discipline, all threatened the interests of the Fengpei loyalists.

The human heart is the most complex thing; it has never been able to handle all relationships in a short period of time.

Zhao Long did not regret his past choice, but he was no longer needed by Liu Bang.

Leaving is for a better beginning.

In a desperate situation, he might even go all in again, betting that he could definitely get Han Xin away.

He succeeded.

Han Xin had a dream, and this was the time when he had the most contact with me, so this olive branch was extended to Han Xin.

He had no choice but to die.

Han Xin was a clever man whose talents were not recognized.

Zhao Long's complex gaze swept across the military camp, and by the time he reached the outside of the camp, his eyes had become very determined.

When we face each other again, they will be enemies.

"let's go."

Han Xin had already prepared a spot at the camp gate.

Zhao Ben, with his men, followed beside Zhao Long and offered words of comfort.

“My lord, you need not feel guilty. Before leaving, you only took Han Xin with you. You have already done more than enough for Liu Bang.”

Zhao Long smiled, looking like a villain who had abducted Han Xin, but cast a shadow over Liu Bang's future.

Han Xin then joined in with a smile, saying, "General Zhao Ben is right. Over the years, you have upheld military discipline and assisted in logistics. Many soldiers admire you the most. If you were to raise your voice now, I'm afraid there would be some unrest in the Han camp."

During the short time Han Xin was away, thanks to his extensive network of connections, he had heard some things.

He started from the bottom in the Han army and was well aware of Zhao Long's prestige in the army. He never withheld military pay and provided logistical supplies. There was no such thing as stealing credit among those who were not part of Fengpei's direct troops.

Although it is still unclear why Zhao Long was so determined to leave the Han army.

However, Han Xin believed that Zhao Long would surely succeed in the future and admired Zhao Long's decisiveness. Since he had promised Zhao Long to leave together, he would never break his promise.

Zhao Ben, standing to the side, smiled and said, "Your Majesty's abilities are undoubtedly unparalleled. It's a pity that the King of Han doesn't recognize your talent. However, there is a place that is most suitable for Your Majesty."

Zhao Ben trusted his lord, but not Han Xin, and thus did not explain it clearly.

But Zhao Long knew very well that he was referring to Qin.

The Qin laws were harsh, and the Qin army was equally disciplined. Zhao Ben had long lamented that Zhao Long was born in the wrong place.

If I had been born in the Qin Dynasty, I could have single-handedly saved the day!

Zhao Long shook his head: "There's no need to rush for now. Let's talk about it after we leave the camp."

The soldiers guarding the camp only conducted a routine check and did not notice anything amiss about Han Xin and Zhao Long's departure.

The army's provisions were something that Han Xin and others needed to handle, especially since the army was about to march south, and it was common for provisions officers to leave the camp.

"Let's go to Wuguan first."

After leaving the camp, Zhao Long revealed his destination.

He also left himself some options, having acquired numerous residences in places like Nanyang.

I'll rest for a while and think about what to do next.

The fall of Qin was not the end of this chaotic drama; the real show of war and chaos had only just begun.

……

In the Han army camp, Liu Bang slammed the bamboo slip in his hand down.

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

Just now, news came from Xiang Yu's side that not only was Liu Bang allowed to enter Shu, but Zhang Han was also ordered to lead 30,000 troops to "escort" him all the way!

"Xiang Yu, that scoundrel, sent a surrendered Qin general with a group of Qin soldiers to Shu with us, just to kill us."

"He failed at Hongmen last time, but he couldn't resist this time."

"Lord Pei, we absolutely cannot tolerate Xiang Yu's humiliation. We have at least 100,000 soldiers. Even if Xiang Yu has 400,000 troops, we might still be able to fight him!"

Amidst Fan Kuai's booming voice, Xiao He shook his head.

"Fighting a battle is fine, but what happens afterward? How many of the 100,000 troops will be left? Do you really want to leave the king all alone?"

Xiao He stared intently at Fan Kuai with piercing eyes. They had known each other for a long time and had raised an army together. Xiao He's prestige had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

As soon as Fan Kuai shut up, everyone fell silent.

"Lord Pei, Xiang Yu's order is indeed ruthless. We need to find another way this time."

Xiao He pondered to himself that he should go and have a chat with his old friend Xiang Bo, hoping that things might still turn around.

However, he felt something was missing, and subconsciously asked, "Where is the strategist general?"

Fan Kuai waved his hand dismissively and said, "That spy kept talking about how great Shu was, wanting us to go to that godforsaken place. We were unwilling, and he left in anger during the day."

Xiao He frowned and glared at Fan Kuai. This group's dissatisfaction with Zhao Long had been brewing for quite some time.

Strict military discipline and an emphasis on restraining one's brilliance—either of these things greatly displeased them, and Fan Kuai's words could not be entirely trusted.

He was busy with other things during the day and only came over now. He didn't say much, but clasped his hands and said, "Lord Pei, I'm going to see the military advisor general."

Cao Can stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Lord Xiao, there's no need to go looking anymore. Just before Xiang Yu's messenger sent the message, Zhao Longgang and the Chief of Grain Supply went out to find provisions."

"What? Zhao Long left, and took Han Xin with him?"

Xiao He's eyes widened, and he spoke anxiously.

"Why is Lord Xiao in such a hurry? Perhaps this spy knew that Xiang Yu was about to issue such an order, and knew that Liu Bang would not tolerate him, so he ran away in advance?"

Xiao He was immediately furious. Among Liu Bang's loyal ministers in this camp, he had the best relationship with Zhao Long. He knew that although Zhao Long seemed to have concealed his brilliance, he also had his own pride.

They also understood why Zhao Long had left the camp at this time; he had been forced out by these people.

"By taking Han Xin with him, Zhao Long is determined to leave this time."

"Foolish! You've personally pushed away a genius of unparalleled talent!"
