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

Everyone was slightly surprised as they listened to Zhang Ping report the news he had received.

“It’s normal for the barbarians to be restless. They are originally descendants of people from Ba and Shu. Now that Qin is in crisis, they naturally want to take the opportunity to restore their homeland.”

Seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Zhao Long shook his head and smiled: "There's no need to worry, everyone. The ones who are most anxious right now are not us, but the Han army."

Liu Bang endured humiliation and left Guanzhong, heading first to Hanzhong. He naturally knew the importance of the Bashu region, and it was also for the sake of a base of operations.

"Should we remind Liu Bang?" Zhang Ping asked with ill intent. Whether it was a reminder or a sarcastic remark, only he knew.

"Go if you want, but be careful."

Zhao Long wouldn't interfere with something so harmless.

Zhang Cang, who had been quietly standing by, sighed helplessly: "Young master, aren't you afraid that the King of Han might become enraged and suddenly attack the Qin army right here?"

After learning about the Qin army, I realized how terrifying it was.

However, he was still quite worried because the Han army still had an absolute numerical advantage.

"If Liu Bang wants war, then let's fight."

Zhao Long spoke with undeniable arrogance.

Once inside the mountains and forests, the Qin army's 10,000 elite troops, despite the terrain limitations, were not afraid of the 100,000 Han troops who were running out of food!

The Qin army was full of warmongers. When Zhang Cang saw Zhao Long speak, the green light in the eyes of these Qin generals made them tremble with fear.

A storm of emotions surged within Zhang Cang's heart. How exactly did Zhao Long manage to revive the Qin state, which had been utterly silent, and make it speak so powerfully once again?

Zhang Cang suddenly felt an urge to return to Yongdi and see how the Great Qin Dynasty had recovered.

Could this Zhao Long really be what he thinks, just like his conversation with that person back then?

His heart tightened, and he immediately became even more serious.

"Young master, this is the statistic of the supplies and surrendered soldiers we obtained this time."

Zhao Long took the bamboo slips and glanced at them, somewhat surprised: "So many?"

"Gather the two thousand Han soldiers."

"The grain obtained from the barbarian camp amounted to 20,000 bushels?"

The key point is that these were all readily available items that the Qin army picked up directly.

Liu Bang did all the dirty and hard work, while the Qin army got all the benefits.

"Young master, all the provisions have been sorted and cataloged. I have already completed the sorting and classification according to the type of supplies!"

"In addition, according to my calculations, the provisions that the army brought this time were insufficient because the rainy season was not taken into account. I have already collected some in advance, and you can take them with you, young master."

Zhang Cang brought out several more bamboo slips, which showed that all the supplies had been registered.

Looking at Zhang Cang's dark circles, Zhao Long opened his mouth in surprise, feeling deeply moved.

The future of the Great Han is truly useful.

It belongs to the Qin Dynasty now!

Finally, he just chuckled and said, "You've worked hard, Lord Zhang, but you should remember to rest sometimes."

"The Great Qin needs Lord Zhang to contribute his strength to grow stronger, but we never thought of asking Lord Zhang to sacrifice his life."

Zhang Cang was deeply moved and glared fiercely at Wang Ling.

See, this is what a lord is like.

This warmth and consideration for his subordinates was something he had never felt before, neither with Wang Ling nor with Liu Bang.

With such a ruler, how could great things not be accomplished?

Thinking this, Zhang Cang's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Although it's unclear why all the Qin generals addressed Zhao Long as "Prince," in terms of rank, Zhao Long was the Qin army's strategist.

Why did he feel that Zhao Long was the true leader of the Qin army after less than a day in the army?

……

Zhang Han and Zhao Ben stood at a distance, calmly acting as hands-off managers, watching with smiles as Zhao Long and Zhang Cang busied themselves calculating the spoils of the day.

Zhao Ben said with some dissatisfaction, "General, I am merely the commander of the young master's guards, responsible only for the young master's safety."

"You are the Supreme General of Qin, the current lord of this Qin army. Are you just going to leave everything to the young master to handle?"

Zhang Han shook his head and laughed: "Don't you feel that the young master is more like that person?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ben also looked at the scene carefully. The image in front of him gradually blurred, as if it overlapped with a scene from his memory.

It's as if I can see the figure of that emperor standing on the high mountain back then, talking with his ministers, giving orders and wielding power!

Zhang Han asked with great curiosity, "Zhao Ben, you still haven't told me how you found the prince, and why you still refuse to tell me his true identity?"

Seeing that Zhao Long hadn't noticed them, Zhao Ben let out a long sigh.

"After I was defeated by you, my lord, you couldn't bear to see such a fierce general like me killed by Liu Bang, so you tried to win me over."

"You know, when I first saw you, I felt something was wrong, so I didn't provoke Liu Bang and go looking for death."

“During those days, I was in a daze. At first, I didn’t think about surrendering, but when I learned that Yang Xiong had been killed by the tyrant, I knew that the Qin Dynasty was finished.”

"During those days, I witnessed your methods while I was in the Han camp; they were just like His Majesty's."

"When the young master invited me again, I decided to become the commander of his personal guard. I want to ensure that the Great Qin Dynasty has a foothold!"

"The young master's personal guards are all from Jiangdong, many of them being farmers from the young master's family. I found out about the young master's family situation from them, and I also sent people to inquire about it. Do you know what I found out?"

Zhang Han's curiosity was completely piqued: "What?"

Zhao Ben's expression turned extremely solemn: "Black Ice Platform!"

"The Black Ice Guard has always had a small team secretly protecting the young master."

"Therefore, I am certain that you, young master, are a descendant of that person!"

"Moreover, I have also been in contact with them, and those people are currently among the young master's hundred personal guards."

"Through them, I learned a secret..."

Zhang Han took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Just say what you have to say!"

"The prince is of royal blood from the Zhao state, and his mother is a princess of the Zhao state."

Feeling guilty, Zhang Han glanced towards Zhao Long.

It seems Your Majesty destroyed someone else's homeland. However, during the Warring States period, many rulers were the offspring of princesses from enemy states.

Once a woman marries, she basically has no connection with her own family, because she is marrying into a family of high social standing, and her children are to inherit the family's legacy.

"I don't know how the young master's mother and His Majesty met, or why she took the young master to the Zhao family in Jiangdong. Those were all identities arranged by His Majesty."

"When I met you, you were already in the Han army. You said that Liu Bang was a hero of his time and asked me to follow him. Maybe in the future I could even achieve the title of 'Feng Lang Ju Xu'!"

"I asked the young master what the Fenglangjuxu was, and he said it was even more impressive than the Meng family's achievements!"

Finally, Zhao Ben said helplessly, "The young master previously admired Liu Bang and disliked the Qin Dynasty. Also, there's his mother's background. I still don't know how to tell the young master about his identity!"

Zhang Han pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Isn't the young master doing very well now? His methods of handling numerous affairs are quite like His Majesty's!"
