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

"If there truly is such a lord, our Yang family will fight to the death for him!"

"But that's impossible!"

Yang Duanhe sighed deeply.

During the reign of the Second Emperor, innocent people were killed indiscriminately, and members of the royal family were massacred.

He once wanted to save a young nobleman, but the nobleman, fearing that he would suffer the Second Emperor's mad revenge and implicate his family after he left, voluntarily requested to be buried near the First Emperor's mausoleum.

In just a few years, the First Emperor's descendants were almost completely slaughtered by that person!

This is also a pain for the Qin Dynasty!

Yang Jiu thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you talking about Prince Ziying of Qin?"

"Although this man has some ability and wants to save Qin, he lacks the shrewdness and is not capable of great undertakings. Letting him raise an army will only harm Qin."

Zhang Han shook his head and chuckled: "Gentlemen, you'd better listen carefully!"

Zhang Han began by recounting Zhao Long's deeds within the Han army.

He became a general in the Han army, providing them with ample troops and provisions, before being forced to leave and go to the Qin camp.

Finally, in just a few days in Chang'an Village, he turned the tide, saving 30,000 Qin soldiers and laying the groundwork for Zhang Han's long-term plans.

Using someone else's strength against them, nurturing a thief to enhance one's own power, snatching chestnuts from a fire...

Both elders were astonished by this series of actions.

It turns out that Zhang Han's recent resurgence was all orchestrated by Zhao Long.

"If what you say is true, this person can indeed be called a wise ruler, and perhaps he also has a chance to save the Qin Dynasty."

"But how do I know that this isn't part of your scheme, that you just found someone to deceive me?"

Zhang Han's past defection to Xiang Yu still weighed heavily on their minds.

Zhang Han wasn't in a hurry to change anything, he just smiled faintly and said, "Go and invite the young master here."

As the two men were filled with suspicion, they saw Yang Xi walking towards them with a young figure. The two men suddenly stood up straight, their expressions frozen.

Zhang Han looked at the two with a mocking expression: "Are you still doubting me now? Are you trying to deceive me?"

Yang Duanhe's breathing had become extremely heavy: "How could there be such similar people in the world?"

"so similar!"

Zhang Han reminded them, "Gentlemen, for some reason, the young master is still unaware of his identity. If you have any questions, go ask Zhao Ben. That old scoundrel found the young master several years ago, but only recently told me!"

"Please keep this a secret for now as well."

"Young Master is temporarily the military advisor of my Yong Kingdom. You may both address him as Young Master."

Yang Duanhe didn't care about Zhang Han anymore and strode over, his eyes instantly welling up with tears.

He understood. He understood everything. He understood why Zhang Han was able to rise again and why he was confident in helping Qin rise again!

The young man before me was radiant and imposing, just like his father!

"This must be General Yang. Zhao Long greets the old general."

Zhao Long bowed slightly, feeling puzzled. Even if he was very handsome, how could he make someone cry with his good looks on their first meeting?

"Young Master Zhao Long, the military advisor of Yong?"

"Good, good, good..."

"Heaven has not forsaken my Great Qin!"

Yang Duanhe laughed excitedly, his manners and demeanor impeccable.

That's a hundred times worse than that idiot, the Second Prince!

He seemed to see that brilliant and ambitious emperor in his youth!

"Yes, the reason I came here with the General is to invite the old general to come out of retirement."

"With the old general's help, the Qin Dynasty will not perish, and the six million Qin people will not perish!"

Yang Duanhe laughed and cried at the same time, and clasped his hands tightly and said, "Young master, rest assured, from this moment on, my entire Yang family swears to live and die with the Great Qin!"

"Guards, prepare the banquet!"

Zhao Long didn't understand why this old general, whom he was meeting for the first time, was so kind to him, but it was excellent that Yang Duanhe could return to Qin.

The banquet began soon, and Zhao Long never expected that what happened when he first met Zhang Han would be repeated here.

Yang Duanhe didn't ask about the affairs of the Qin Dynasty; instead, he kept asking about his own life experiences.

"Is there something amazing about my family tree that I haven't discovered yet?"

Zhao Long muttered to himself.

Yang Jiu and Yang Duanhe also spoke with Zhao Long about some matters concerning the Qin Dynasty. Seeing that Zhao Long spoke with great eloquence, they confirmed that what Zhang Han had said earlier was indeed written by Zhao Long.

Just then, another set of footsteps came from outside.

"Master, another group of armored soldiers has arrived outside. The leader claims to be Zhang Liang, an old friend of yours, who has come to visit you with his friends."

Yang Duanhe stopped the wine cup that he was about to raise to Zhao Long.

He was so excited to see Zhao Long that he forgot about Zhang Liang.

I didn't expect Zhang Liang to arrive so quickly!

Yang Duanhe sighed, "It's all fate."

Zhao Long seems to be the chosen one of the new era in the Qin Dynasty.

Fate had decreed that he would return to the Qin Dynasty half a day ahead of schedule.

Otherwise, if he had really gone against Liu Bang and Zhao Long, how would Yang Duanhe have the face to meet the First Emperor after his death?

Yang Duanhe said in a deep voice, "Tell them that I have been unwell these days, and let them leave."

"and many more."

At this moment, Zhao Long spoke directly, asking the soldier who brought the message, "The person you said came is named Zhang Liang?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Long laughed: "Go and invite Zhang Liang in. Remember, just invite him alone."

The soldiers instinctively looked at Yang Duanhe, only to hear an angry shout: "Hurry up and go!"

……

Outside the Yang family mansion, Zhang Liang received the report and was about to go in.

"Lord Zhang Liang, the patriarch said he only invites you in."

Zhang Liang coughed twice, then turned to Liu Bang with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will go in first to pay my respects and then come to introduce you to me."

Liu Bang then released Zhang Liang's hand, which he had been gripping tightly, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"I entrust everything to Zifang."

They had been taking care of Zhang Liang's health along the way, and now that they had arrived here, it was already dark. They should have visited him another day.

However, the Han army can no longer afford to delay and must obtain Yang Duanhe's support as soon as possible.

He watched Zhang Liang enter the mansion with reluctance, a sense of loss welling up in his heart for no reason, as if this was the last time he would see Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang followed the guards all the way to the training ground. When he saw the armored soldiers at the entrance, his expression changed slightly.

These people are wearing standard Qin army armor.

Yang Duanhe has been away from the Qin army for a long time. Has he not forgotten the Qin Dynasty?

As Zhang Liang was deep in thought, he unknowingly walked to the banquet area. Just as he raised a smile and was about to clasp his hands in greeting, he saw a youthful and cheerful smiling face. He froze, his mouth slightly agape, staring in disbelief.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Zhao Long stood up first and greeted him, "Mr. Zhang Liang, how have you been?"

Zhang Liang was filled with endless doubts.

Upon seeing Zhang Han beside him, he immediately understood everything and spoke with absolute certainty.

"After leaving the Han camp, the strategist general did not seek out the feudal lords of Guandong, but instead joined the Qin army!"

"Chang'an Village was also the work of the general!"

Zhao Long smiled and said, "As expected of Master Zifang, your strategies are truly brilliant."

"Let me guess what Mr. Zifang's purpose is. It must be to invite General Yang to join the Han army and serve the King of Han."

"Unfortunately, Master Zifang did not know that General Yang is a veteran general of the Qin Dynasty. How could he possibly submit to the King of Han!"

Liu Bang was ambitious; even though he was forced to go to Hanzhong, he probably already planned to fight his way back.

It's certain that we need to win over the powerful clans of Guanzhong.

Although it is unknown why Liu Bang chose Lady Yang before leaving Guanzhong and even sent Zhang Liang to visit her personally, this did not prevent Zhao Long from doing what he was about to do.

"Cough-cough-"

Zhang Liang suddenly coughed violently, his face turning deathly pale.

Zhao Long was startled, fearing that the man might cough himself to death.

But I was mostly excited!

"Liu Bang is truly a great man! He gave away Fan Kuai, a mere warrior, for free, and now he's also giving away Zhang Liang, a brilliant strategist!"
