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

Zhao Long raised an eyebrow at Zhang Liang with a hint of smugness: "What does Master Zifang think of this Qin army?"

What else could Zhang Liang think? Of course, he was stunned.

They even felt that the whole world might have been deceived by Xiang Yu.

What Xiang Yu gave to Zhang Han was not 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, but most likely 30,000 elite Qin troops.

He never imagined that this would be a newly formed Qin army.

Take South Korea's former elite forces, for example; they were built with massive amounts of money.

Extensive training, prolonged combat, sufficient food, and a good morale are all essential.

When he led the Han army to resist the Qin army, he tried his best, but he could only build up a thousand elite soldiers.

But now, looking at the Qin army, they were dressed in full black armor, clenching their fists and pounding their chests, standing motionless, their eyes so firm that they were ready to die for Zhang Han right now.

Its momentum is incredibly powerful!

It's like a pack of terrifying wolves who suddenly acquire weapons and armor, becoming even more ferocious!

Zhang Liang had no doubt that at Zhang Han's command, these warriors were the fiercest beasts!

Zhang Liang exclaimed in shock, "Truly a tiger and wolf of the world!"

"Are these all elite troops from the Qin army?"

Even the elite Han army of that time was no match for these Qin soldiers before them!

There's only one possibility: these people are the elite of Zhang Han's direct subordinates, the fiercest batch in the Qin army.

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Of course, it's the elite."

Thinking of Zhao Long's endless methods of training these 15,000 soldiers to be fiercely competitive, Zhang Han admired him even more.

No wonder he's a descendant of that person!

The concept of "external kingship" and "internal kingship" primarily relies on the methods of a benevolent ruler.

The Qin Dynasty has successors.

Zhang Liang silently followed Zhang Han deeper into the camp, increasingly feeling that something was amiss.

"These are also elite troops?"

Zhang Han asked in confusion, "Of course, my Qin army camp is full of elite troops!"

Zhang Liang's face immediately turned ashen.

I feel like I've been tricked.

The entire battalion was elite; doesn't that mean this was the state of ordinary Qin soldiers?

Yang Duanhe, a veteran of the Qin army, had already noticed some clues and asked with doubt, "They have the air of elite Qin soldiers, but their imposing presence is still lacking. They shouldn't be veteran Qin soldiers, right?"

"But if he's not a veteran, why does he possess such a sharp and valiant spirit?"

Zhang Han smiled mysteriously, and only spoke after entering the main tent.

"Currently, the Qin army camp has 15,000 soldiers, divided into three divisions, all of whom are elite troops."

"From the 30,000 surviving soldiers, select 5,000 men, then select 5,000 men from Liu Bang's surrendered troops, and finally select 5,000 men from the recruited civilians to form this group!"

"As for how the training was conducted, that's all thanks to you, young master."

Xiang Yu directly stated the "Ten Disciplines" proposed by Zhao Long.

Such principles include not taking a single needle or thread from the masses, obeying all commands, ensuring fair trade and refraining from abusing power to bully others.

Yang Duanhe was already considered a genius.

It's a perfect summary of the original laws and regulations of the Qin army!

Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes and sighed. This did indeed seem like something Zhao Long would do.

When Zhao Long was with the Han army, he emphasized military law and discipline.

The Qin army did indeed provide Zhao Long with a better stage.

Only such iron discipline can forge an elite force!

"Ziyun, there is one more thing I don't know. No matter how strict military law is, how do you get the soldiers to obey it willingly?"

Zhao Long smiled and said, "That's for Mr. Zhang Liang to discover for himself!"

"Can I walk around the camp?"

Zhao Long agreed immediately.

If a cooked duck can still fly away from the Qin army camp, then the Qin army has no need to fight for supremacy.

After Zhang Liang left, Yang Duanhe felt a mix of emotions, even a secret joy.

He had known Zhang Liang for many years. Back when Zhang Liang was still a nobleman in the state of Han, Yang Duanhe had actually met the young Zhang Liang.

This son inherited the style of his father and grandfather; had the state not been destroyed, he would have become a famous prime minister.

Even after the fall of Korea, they never gave up on restoring their nation, and in the past, they were able to hold their own against Yang Xiong's elite troops with their exhausted army.

He even swallowed his pride and personally visited Zhang Liang to invite him to join the Qin army.

Today, however, Zhang Liang looked shocked and puzzled, and it was hard to imagine that such emotions would appear on his face.

Even Zhang Liang was outmaneuvered, which made Yang Duanhe admire Zhao Long even more.

Yang Duanhe sighed inwardly, "Everyone is wrong. The true heir to the Mandate of Heaven for the Great Qin should be the one standing before me..."

This is truly the spirit of his father!

What was that previous thing anyway?

Yang Duanhe smiled and said, "Young master, this man is quite arrogant, but he is also truly talented. If you can persuade him to join the Qin Dynasty, he will be a great help to the Qin Dynasty, comparable to the abilities of Guan Zhong and Yue Yi!"

Zhao Long said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhang Liang won't get away."

Even if you dislike the Qin army, you have to face reality. This guy is a smart man. He was able to successfully retire from Liu Bang's Han Empire. He's no ordinary person.

Let him gradually question his existence amidst the overwhelming power of the Qin army, and whether he can still fight against them!

Let's first undermine his confidence; there will be other opportunities later.

It's easier to win him over when he's at his most vulnerable.

Zhang Liang's burning desire for revenge for his country made his weakness quite obvious: the state of Han.

Even if things go wrong, there's no loss in taking care of Zhang Liang for now.

He doesn't need Zhang Liang's brilliant strategies right now, but Liu Bang wouldn't be doing so well without Zhang Liang.

Yang Duanhe then shared his detailed understanding of the current Qin army with everyone, leaving even Yang Jiu in awe.

"If the Grand Commandant were still alive, he would surely consider you a close friend."

These military management philosophies and methods are almost identical to those of that person.

"The Grand Commandant?"

"Are you referring to Mr. Wei Liao?"

Zhao Long's eyes lit up immediately.

Yang Jiu immediately realized what was happening, and smiled as he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Don't worry, young master, I've maintained some contact with the Imperial Commandant over the years, and I'll go and invite him over immediately!"

"If he knew the current state of the Qin army, he would be very satisfied."

Zhao Long was overjoyed: "Then I'll leave it to you, sir."

Wei Liao was a pillar of the Qin Dynasty, but in terms of achievements, he was somewhat inferior to Zhang Liang. After all, Wei Liao was loyal to a powerful Qin Dynasty, and there wasn't much for him to do.

However, from a purely rational perspective, Wei Liaozi, one of the Four Sages of Military Strategy, holds an unshakeable position!

His collected ideas in "Wei Liao Zi" are more like a treatise on the economics of war.

From cultivating military bearing and morale to the relationship between the military and the people.

And pre-war preparations, and post-war cleanup after conquering cities and plundering strongholds.

When Zhao Long first saw this book, he became more and more impressed as he read on. These were ideas from more than two thousand years ago!

A genius of all time!

Sure enough, every time he encountered Liu Bang, good things would happen; he was practically a lucky star for the Qin army!

When Yang returned to Qin, she essentially gave away Zhang Liang for nothing.

There is still a chance to invite Wei Liaozi back.

Unfortunately, Liu Bang was about to be sent to Shu, so there was no way to personally invite this outstanding man.

If that doesn't work, we can have Zhang Han visit Zhuge Liang three times after we return from Hanzhong.

At this moment, Lü Matong also came over, holding a piece of cloth in his hand.

"Greetings, General; greetings, young master."

"Xiang Yu sent me a secret letter."

Yang Duan and the others looked at Lü Matong with surprise and suspicion. Wasn't this one of Xiang Yu's men? How come he just handed over Xiang Yu's secret letter to Zhang Han?

"I forgot to tell you both, General Lü Matong is also a staunch warrior of my Qin army, and a brother forever."

Zhang Han chuckled, picked up the secret letter, read it, and then gave it to Zhao Long.

"Xiang Yu gave us 100,000 bushels of grain. He asked Lü Matong to give half of it to Liu Bang. What do you think, my lord?"

Zhao Long laughed too: "Of course we'll give it to you!"

"However, instead of giving 50,000 bushels, send 500 bushels to Liu Bang!"

Giving them 50,000 bushels would be like feeding the enemy; giving them 500 bushels would be an insult.

Zhang Ping excitedly jumped out: "This humble general, let this humble general go..."

He was quite happy to humiliate Liu Bang!

Zhao Long said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll trouble General Zhang Ping to lead the troops on that trip."

“Go tell Liu Bang that the Prince of Yong’s fiefdom does not welcome the Prince of Han. Tell the Prince of Han to take five hundred bushels of supplies and get on his way back to where he belongs.”
