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

Xiao He was furious.

“Since Zhao Ziyun entered the camp, all of you should ask yourselves if you have ever worried about the lack of food and supplies.”

"No matter how great the losses in the battles at the front, we always quickly provide you with ample troops and provisions!"

"If Zhao Ziyun is a spy, how many of these soldiers in the camp are truly loyal to Liu Bang?"

Xiao He was so angry that he had a headache. As the Grand Commander of the Han Army, he was the one who knew best how much effort Zhao Long had put into this force.

He knew that Zhao Long didn't get along with the others, and he had tried his best to mediate between them in the past.

If he were in Zhao Long's position and possessed such talent, would he be willing to stay and suffer?

Maybe they've already left!

Zhao Long stayed behind, showing utmost kindness and loyalty to the Han army. Surprisingly, these people joined forces and drove Zhao Long away!

Extremely stupid!

At this moment, he heard Liu Bang's indifferent voice: "If Zhao Ziyun were truly a loyal and righteous genius, he wouldn't have left because of this incident!"

"He was a native of Jiangdong and a former subordinate of Xiang Yu. He angered Xiang Yu and fled to my camp."

"It was I who gave him the opportunity in Dang, allowing him to command troops, which enabled him to achieve such great feats!"

"It is because I trust him that I have given him the power to manage the grain and supplies, allowing him to assist in the logistics and demonstrate his abilities."

"Even if he is a genius of unparalleled talent, he should still be grateful to me!"

"Just consider this a trip for him to clear his head; he'll be back."

Xiao He finally understood why Zhao Long, who had always been tolerant, could no longer bear it this time and left decisively.

As Liu Bang's power grew increasingly strong, this attitude made people unhappy.

You gave Zhao Long a chance, but Zhao Long is a genius of all time. He can find opportunities anywhere. He just needs you to give him one!

Shouldn't you be secretly thrilled to have such a prodigy?

Why are you pushing people away?

Xiao He truly didn't understand where Liu Bang's confidence came from.

"Lord Pei, Han Xin, who followed Zhao Ziyun out of the camp, is also a man of great talent. He was valued and taught by Ziyun, and his abilities may not be inferior to Ziyun's."

"Zhao Ziyun taking Han Xin away from the camp clearly indicates that he intends to leave the Han army!"

"The Han army has lost two great talents. Have you all considered the consequences?"

Xiao He was somewhat angry.

What he didn't say was that he had been in contact with Zhao Long for a long time, and thus had some understanding of Han Xin. In several conversations, he found that Han Xin was eloquent and had a background in Huaiyin.

Among the close relationships of this era, besides blood ties, geographical ties are the closest.

He had always planned to have Han Xin train alongside Zhao Long for a few years and build a good relationship with him.

Later, when Han Xin leads the army alone and becomes a pillar of the Han army, he will also have more people to ease the relationship between Zhao Long and the loyal ministers of Fengpei.

"Is Zhao Ziyun really not planning to come back?"

Liu Bang's previously indifferent eyes were now touched, and his heart began to beat faster.

As the ruler, Liu Bang was naturally eager to find talented people and was well aware of Zhao Long's abilities.

Zhao Long is capable and shrewd, but sometimes, in his opinion, he is also clueless.

With the war raging, everyone knew perfectly well where the supplies were coming from.

You insisted on bringing it up, and even forced the general who seized the grain to be punished.

In the battle, merits were recorded, but favoritism was still a factor. Zhao Long insisted on treating everyone equally.

The relationship between him and Fengpei's loyal ministers also drifted further and further apart.

To be honest, Liu Bang really liked loyal ministers like Zhao Long.

However, Fan Kuai and the others said that Zhao Long might be Xiang Yu's spy, deliberately leading them down a path of no return.

Liu Bang was naturally closer to Fan Kuai and his group.

After hearing it so many times, the seeds of doubt were sown. When Xiang Yu granted him permission to enter Shu, he indeed no longer trusted Zhao Long.

Everything is too coincidental!

Just now, Zhao Long had just left when Xiang Yu's envoy arrived again.

However, when Liu Bang actually heard that Zhao Long had left, he was still somewhat flustered.

Xiao He sighed: "Lord Pei, Zhao Ziyun is a national hero. Over the years, he has never wronged you. His departure this time was just because he was angry. I will go after Zhao Ziyun now."

"Why chase after him? He's just a spy. Let him go. Does the Han army cease to be the Han army just because he's gone?"

"Leaving the camp without permission, what's the use of bringing back such a traitor, even if he's not a spy?"

"..."

Many people spoke up, and Xiao He was very disappointed in these guys, feeling a chill in his heart.

Perhaps, Zhao Long leaving wasn't the wrong choice.

With his abilities, where couldn't he go?

However, Liu Bang could not do without Zhao Long, just as the First Emperor could not do without Li Si!

At this moment, Liu Bang's voice rang out: "Does Han Xin truly possess talent no less than Ziyun's?"

Xiao He was immediately overjoyed. Could there be a chance for things to turn around?

Despite the fierce protests from Fan Kuai and his group, the most important factor was Liu Bang's attitude.

Xiao He recalled his conversation with Han Xin, who had profound insights into leading troops into battle, and immediately spoke up.

"Duke of Pei, Han Xin's talent lies in commanding troops and overseeing all military affairs."

"Compared to Ziyun's talent, which is mostly long-term planning, this person's martial arts are extraordinary, and his ability in battle is even greater than Ziyun's."

"If Ziyun offers advice and this person assists from the side, the plan will surely be perfected. The two of them working together will definitely complement each other perfectly!"

After Xiao He finished speaking, everyone frowned and looked at him. He was implying that even if Han Xin was inferior to Zhao Long, he wasn't that much worse.

In fact, when it comes to the ability to lead troops into battle, Han Xin was even better.

Everyone was very unhappy. Were they really that bad?

However, Liu Bang also understood Xiao He's meaning: the two of them working together were even more terrifying than two Zhao Longs alone!

"Lord Xiao, I trouble you to go and bring Ziyun back. The Han army must not lose its strategist and general!"

Xiao He's face showed joy.

"promise."

As he turned to leave, he heard Liu Bang mutter to himself, "If we let these two go, I'm afraid we'll really be trapped in Shu and powerless to face the next great enemy that will emerge in the world."

Xiao He stumbled, took a deep breath, and then hurriedly left.

The group continued talking about Xiang Yu's orders.

Fighting Xiang Yu is out of the question; heading to Shu is a tacitly accepted fact. What's even more frustrating now is Xiang Yu's deadly attack.

Fan Kuai moved closer to Cao Can.

After Zhao Long lost control of military discipline, Cao Can is now in charge of discipline in the Han army.

Even though Liu Bang now wields immense power, his army is largely composed of displaced people who, seeing Xiang Yu's growing prestige, see no future in following Liu Bang.

Even as deserters continued to emerge, Cao Can kept sending men to keep an eye on the area around the camp.

Fan Kuai sneered: "Several people from my camp ran away before, and you almost killed them. Now that the strategist general has run away, you have to treat them the same way."

Fan Kuai had always felt that Cao Can had become somewhat more upright after taking control of military discipline, and suspected that he was siding with Zhao Long.

Unexpectedly, Cao Can said, "Don't worry, I felt something was wrong when he left. Have Wang Xi lead a hundred light cavalry to chase after him. If they find anything amiss, kill him immediately!"

Despite some minor conflicts between them, when it comes to important matters, they are all loyal followers of Liu Bang's Huaihai founding group!

Fan Kuai paused for a moment, then a cold smile crept onto his lips: "Trying to run? Heh..."
