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

Half an hour later, Li Shiqi left satisfied.

After some discussion, it was decided that the Yi people would ambush the Han army at a mountain pass, and the Han army would pretend not to know that the Yi people were there and pass through directly.

When the Qin army arrived at the valley, the elite Yi troops came out in full force, and the Han army launched a counterattack!

With coordinated attacks from within and without, launch a surprise attack on the Qin army!

"Damn Qin army, you'll pay for this! You even wanted to escort our 100,000 Han troops? Well, at least you've done your duty!"

Li Shiqi muttered excitedly, glancing back at the direction of the Yi people's camp. He had been looking around the whole way to figure out the strength of the Yi people!

It was stronger than he had imagined, not weaker.

That's incredibly stupid.

People from the mountains and fields do not understand strategy.

"You really think what I said is true, and even support your entry into Guanzhong?"

“A bunch of fools, let them become knives in the hands of the King of Han.”

At that time, the Han army can sit back and watch the two sides fight, and then make its move when the Yi and Qin armies are both exhausted.

Perhaps we can wipe out both the Yi people and the Qin army.

Li Shiqi has been suppressing his feelings for a long time, and now he's getting more and more excited the more he thinks about it.

"Let's go, let's go back quickly!"

Li Shiqi couldn't wait to go back and report this good news to Liu Bang.

Li Shiqi was unaware that after he left, these barbarians changed their attitude completely.

"Your Majesty, these Han people are truly despicable; they've treated us like fools."

"Do you think we don't know the strength of the Qin people? Right now, the Qin people are nothing but weak sheep, no match for us at all!"

"On the contrary, we heard that it was these Han soldiers who were the first to break into Guanzhong when we went north to plunder. They were able to defeat the Qin people, so the Han army must be very strong!"

How could the Qin people possibly pursue and kill the Han army?

"Perhaps the Han army has already conquered more Qin territory."

"Now they say they want to go to Bashu and join forces with us to first destroy the Qin people."

"These damned Han Chinese are definitely deceiving us. They're using the Qin army to lure us in and then wipe us out!"

"The Han army's objective is definitely to target us; they want Bashu!"

The barbarian general, Du Lanshan, spoke with a cold laugh.

The barbarians are ignorant of education and strategy; they are barbarians living deep in the mountains and forests.

The Du family were descendants of a royal family of the Yi people. They had received education and possessed the ambition to establish an independent state.

Their tribe was located near the Baoxie Road, the most prosperous road between Qin and Shu. They would often look for opportunities to go out and plunder, which was actually a way of blending with the Qin culture in war and bloodshed.

In the past few years, they have been advancing northward, and the Qin army has had no decent defenses at all, making it clear that the Qin army is no longer viable.

The Yi people of today are not afraid of the Qin army at all.

On the contrary, it is the Han army that wants Bashu, and that is their enemy!

"Yes, back then, the Qin state claimed to be supporting the Ju state, but ended up conquering and destroying Ju!"

"Now the Han people are entering Bashu, claiming they're coming to join us in destroying Qin, but they definitely want to take this opportunity to eliminate us!"

The barbarians spoke out angrily.

When our ancestors were attacked by the Qin state and fled into the mountains to hide, they warned them not to trust anyone again.

Especially those despicable northerners!

They didn't know exactly where the Han army came from, but they were from the north. They were sure they were also very despicable for being able to conquer the Qin state!

They are not trustworthy.

"Then gather all the warriors of the tribe and have them ambush the Han army near the valley in advance. When the Han army arrives, we will wipe them out first!"

"After we annihilate the Han army, we can attack those Qin territories at will, so why would we need the Han army's help?"

King Du He of Yi stood up and roared!

Many of the barbarians were also filled with fighting spirit!

Several thousand Yi people came out in full force.

……

After Li Shiqi returned to Xieyuguan, he reported the news to Liu Bang, who immediately decided to proceed according to plan the next morning.

"The Qin people have already sent someone to tell us that they will escort us into Bashu."

"Li Shiqi, you also go to the Qin people and tell them that they can only follow behind us and escort us!"

Liu Bang sneered, his face filled with murderous intent.

"Lord Xiao, this time we must annihilate these Qin people and vent our anger!"

Liu Bang had been suppressing his feelings for too long, and he was finally given an opportunity, which made him extremely excited!

Even if the Qin army is destroyed, it was done by those barbarians. If Xiang Yu really wants to send the elite Chu army to retaliate, he should retaliate against the barbarians, not Liu Bang!

"A bunch of stupid idiots, do you really think I would join forces with a bunch of fools?"

Liu Bang said disdainfully.

When the Qin army and the Yi people are locked in a fierce battle, the Han army will then launch an attack!

These barbarians were all taken to Hanzhong to farm.

"Haha, let's wipe out this Qin army and let the Qin people fight to the death with the Yi people. We can then focus on developing our territory in Bashu for a while!"

"It won't be long before we can head north to Guanzhong again, reclaim everything we've lost, and avenge General Fan!"

"Make all the people of Qin kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Xiahou Ying clenched his fist triumphantly; this was his brilliant plan!

……

North of Xieyu Pass, across the Wei River.

It was getting late, and Zhao Long was just about to lie down and rest when Zhang Han arrived.

"A messenger from the Han army has arrived, saying that we should follow behind and escort them, and not get close!"

Zhao Long sprang up from the couch in a flash, and exclaimed in surprise, "Liu Bang didn't get angry at all, and even agreed to let us follow behind and escort him?"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!

The Han army should be filled with hatred for the Qin army right now. The fact that Liu Bang didn't go crazy and attack the Qin army directly is already a testament to his restraint.

Why would they directly allow escorts?

Anyone could see that the Qin army had ill intentions, and Liu Bang wasn't stupid either.

Zhao Long said with certainty, "The Han army must have some kind of conspiracy."

Zhang Han smiled and said, "Young master is indeed wise. Our spies at Xieyu Pass discovered that Liu Bang sent people to the Yi people's camp, and then the Yi people came out in full force."

Then, Zhang Han sighed: "Liu Bang may not know that although the Qin army has not been able to suppress the barbarians who come out to plunder over the years, they have always sent people to keep an eye on them, just to guard against the barbarians in advance!"

There was nothing that could be done about it. During the years that the Second Emperor was in power, the Qin state was in complete chaos. Even these rats, who used to only dare to hide in the mountains and forests, dared to come out and rob from time to time. The Qin army sent people to keep an eye on them and try to avoid them when the Yi people came out to plunder.

Zhao Long pondered for a moment, then smiled with narrowed eyes: "The Yi people are the mortal enemies of the Qin army. Could it be that Liu Bang thinks he can win over the Yi people to fight against the Qin army together?"

He understood Liu Bang; this guy's methods were ruthless and decisive!

Liu Bang, who came from humble origins, was unlike Xiang Yu or other nobles from the six states. He disdained to do certain things and was somewhat aloof.

Liu Bang rose through the ranks from the bottom, using every means possible!

"That's quite possible," Zhang Han realized as well.

"However, the barbarians cannot be trusted. These barbarians do not submit to the king's rule and have no moral bottom line. Liu Bang is trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, and he will definitely suffer a great loss!"

Zhang Han did not have much contact with these Yi people, but he had served as the Grand Steward of Qin and knew that during the reign of the First Emperor, the Yi people had repeatedly betrayed him.

When the Qin army launched their attack, they fled deep into the mountains and forests.

If they can't win, they'll temporarily surrender, but they'll soon come back with renewed force.

This left the Qin generals quite helpless.

At this moment, Zhao Long grinned mischievously: "Hehe, Liu Bang really is the Qin army's lucky star. He has done the Qin army a great favor once again."

Zhang Han suddenly realized that the Yi people hiding in the mountains and forests were not easy to deal with.

The Yi people have now come out in full force.

Liu Bang really helped a lot this time!
