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

Lu Matong was quite certain that this was only the beginning of Zhao Long's control over the civil and military officials of the world. He feared that in the future, a large number of civil and military officials would be tricked by Zhao Long into serving in the Qin army!

Lu Matong became even more excited. With Zhao Long, Qin was thriving and improving, and his own future was also bright.

Zhao Long wasn't in a hurry to build a relationship with Wang Ling; he had more important things to do right now.

"Remember, do not reveal my involvement with the Qin army, or you will bear the consequences."

"Find a way to gather more remnants of the Han army."

These top-quality recruits were collected and sent directly to Zhang Cang to be taken back to Yang Duanhe for training.

"This time, Liu Bang suffered a huge loss, while the Qin army once again made a huge profit."

Zhao Long never expected that Liu Bang would help the Qin army so much every time.

If it weren't for Liu Bang, the Qin army wouldn't even have had the chance to develop.

"Liu Bang was such a good man."

Zhang Han also spoke with some emotion, full of gratitude.

The more the Han army tried to attack the Qin army, the stronger the Qin army became each time!

At this time, news also arrived from the Yi people's camp.

"Reporting to the general, General Zhang Ping has broken through the barbarian camp, beheaded eight hundred people, and captured two thousand barbarian elders and weak people alive."

"There are still many supplies in the camp, and the general is taking inventory."

Zhao Long chuckled, "Lord Zhang Cang, I'll trouble you to go over and take inventory."

The war is over, and it's time to reap the spoils, even though it wasn't the Qin army that fought this war.

Zhang Cang will definitely be sent back to Qin territory to settle down; just let him take the grain and the surrendered soldiers back with him.

The Qin army was plundering and taking everything they could, while the Han army was suffering heavy losses and bloodshed.

After the initial chaos, the Han army managed to break through the enemy lines with the help of a few generals, stabilize some of the soldiers, and begin a counterattack against the Yi people.

The number of Yi people was still too small, and under the cover of night, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

King Du He of Yi was ashen-faced: "I knew it! These Han dogs are no good. They really came for us. They're putting up such a fierce resistance!"

Just then, another message arrived: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Our camp has been breached."

"what?"

Du He was instantly enraged, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the Han army before him.

"Just as I thought, these traitors of the Han, despicable traitors of the Han."

After cursing for a long time, Du He gritted his teeth and said, "Order all warriors to retreat!"

After Du He finished speaking, he took the lead and ran into the depths of the mountains and forests.

The Yi people lost their initial fighting spirit, and after becoming embroiled in a protracted war of attrition with the Han army, their numerical disadvantage began to become apparent, and the Yi people were killed and forced to retreat in defeat.

The moonlight shone through the blood-red forest, reflecting off it.

Liu Bang roared repeatedly, "Good riddance! Good riddance!"

He was like a lion in a fit of rage, wishing he could open his blood-red maw and tear all these barbarians to pieces.

When the barbarians began to retreat, they discovered that their king had long since disappeared, and they knew that the war was beyond saving.

At this moment, the voices of the barbarians came from behind, and they realized that their stronghold had been attacked!

The Yi people fled into the surrounding mountains, forests, rivers, and streams.

"Chase them down, until they are dead!"

Liu Bang was still roaring like a madman.

His heart was bleeding.

The Han army had already suffered heavy losses in Guanzhong, and now losing so many more soldiers was simply beyond what he could bear.

"It seems the barbarians have collapsed on their own and are now hunting them down."

The Han generals were also seething with anger.

"Xiahou Ying, immediately lead all troops and charge towards the Yi people's stronghold, fight to the death!"

Liu Bang led his men and pursued a group of Yi people directly to their stronghold.

"I only hope that the resources the barbarians have plundered over the years are sufficient to meet the needs of the Han army."

Xiao He, his face ashen, looked at the moonlight and let out a long, helpless sigh.

But when they reached the outside of the barbarian camp, they were all dumbfounded.

The Qin army's black dragon battle flag had already been planted in the barbarian camp.

Liu Bang subconsciously turned to look at Xiao He, his finger still pointing in the direction of the Qin army, looking aggrieved like a child, his voice trembling with tears.

"Qin army? What are the Qin army doing here?"

Zhang Ping stood at the forefront of the Qin army and laughed loudly: "King of Han, the Qin army is ordered to escort the Han army into Shu."

"The Han army has encountered an attack, and it is only natural for me to help the Han army defeat the enemy."

Liu Bang was furious!

Is this how you escort them?

While the Han army was fighting to the death at the front, where was the Qin army? They went straight to the enemy's stronghold.

Liu Bang felt both incredibly angry and incredibly wronged.

How could we have encountered such a rogue Qin army?

Xiao He couldn't even get angry; he was just angry at himself.

To negotiate with a tiger for its skin is to court death. Why didn't he stop Liu Bang before?

There are clearly some highly skilled individuals among the Qin army!

They really believed Xiahou Ying's lies.

We've completely fallen for their trap!

Even though the specific details of the battle were still unclear, Xiao He was certain that this time the casualties might exceed ten thousand.

For the Han army, this was almost a devastating blow.

Xiao He sighed and stepped forward to look at Zhang Ping: "General, if the Qin army is escorting the Han army, why are they blocking our way here?"

Liu Bang angrily ordered the pursuit and killing of the Yi people, not only for revenge, but also for the spoils of war in the Yi people's stronghold.

Zhang Ping simply chuckled and said, "The Qin army is attacking the camp, and we stopped them to avoid accidentally injuring friendly forces."

"The great war is now over."

"let's go!"

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Qin army had really left. He really didn't want to have any conflict with the Qin army now.

Liu Bang stared at the Qin army with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could tear these Qin traitors to pieces.

After the Qin army left, Liu Bang rushed in, and when he saw the barbarian warehouse, which was so barbaric that even rats would weep, he was even more dumbfounded.

At this moment, Xiao He could no longer control himself and broke down in tears.

"Besides the two thousand old and weak Yi people in the camp, not even a single rat was left for us by the Qin people."

Liu Bang roared to the sky, "You Qin traitor, I will never let you get away with this!"

To make matters worse, Guan Ying also brought back a rough battle report from the front.

"In this battle, more than six thousand people were killed or went missing."

"More than 10,000 soldiers were wounded!"

"Wang Ling and Zhang Cang have also gone missing."

As Liu Bang listened to the battle report, he gripped Xiao He's hand tightly. This Han king, who had always been ambitious and hardworking, was already on the verge of collapse.

"Lord Xiao, tell me, where exactly did I go wrong to end up like this?"

Heaven has no eyes! This is truly outrageous!

……

On the Qin army's side, Zhao Long was seeing Zhang Cang off.

"I wonder if Liu Bang will die of anger."

From the moment Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, his growing ambition for power led him to become arrogant.

He gradually became dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's arrogance and disdain for others, but he had no way to kill Xiang Yu, so he could only suppress all his anger.

The Qin army gradually became a weapon in Xiang Yu's hands, and this time it struck again, killing Liu Bang's spirit and piercing his heart.

"He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. This was all Liu Bang's own doing. If he had just honestly attacked the Yi people directly, none of this would have happened."

Zhang Han spoke with a smile.

We have also learned from Zhang Cang what Liu Bang's original plan was.

Liu Bang was completely courting disaster, seeking his own demise.

"My lord, we also learned from the captured Yi people that they have several large strongholds and have been secretly plotting to seize Hanzhong while the Qin army is away."
