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

This was, of course, the result of Zhang Han deliberately delegating power.

He is a sinner of Qin, and the prince is the future ruler of Qin. Even if he cannot tell Zhao Long the specifics now, Zhao Long has obviously done a very good job.

"Young Master is exceptionally intelligent and understands the greater good. I will tell him these things when the time is right. After we take over Ba and Shu, we will re-establish the Three Qin regions. At that time, we should also support you in becoming the King of Qin."

"Go and tell the world that the Great Qin has returned!"

As he spoke, Zhang Han was also eagerly anticipating that day.

Now that Zhao Long's identity has been confirmed, his appearance and demeanor cannot be faked.

At that time, it will be only natural for Zhao Long to pacify the Three Qin regions, conquer Ba and Shu, and rebuild the foundation of Qin!

He, Zhang Han, will assist the prince and atone for his heinous crimes of the past!

Even if he meets His Majesty a hundred years later, he can still say, "I have lived up to the expectations of Qin and His Majesty!"

“You’re right, that’s what I meant too. Let the young master get familiar with the Qin army and the feeling of being in control of everything.”

"With our support, it will be a natural progression for you to become king."

Zhao Ben smiled excitedly and spoke!

At that time, compared to Zhang Han, he will be the greatest contributor to the Qin Dynasty.

We can also proudly tell that towering figure, "I am a guardian of the Qin shore, and I have protected the last glimmer of light for the Qin Dynasty."

That ray of light belonged to Zhao Long.

"My lord is right in a way: Liu Bang deserves much credit for the Qin Dynasty's resurgence."

"It's not just about driving away the prince; it's about turning the future of the Han army into the future of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Now they not only give us plenty of soldiers and food, but they even help us fulfill Xiang Yu's demands, and in the end, they give the benefits to our Qin army."

“You are the true hero of our time. What is Liu Bang compared to you? It was because you supported him that he had the opportunity to rise to power and was unknowingly protecting the future of the Han army.”

"What you said about establishing a glorious Han Dynasty, sir, is now the future of our Great Qin!"

Zhao Ben became more and more excited as he spoke.

At this point, Zhao Long had already seen Zhang Cang off, instructing him to take the prisoners and provisions back first.

As I walked over, I overheard their conversation.

Zhao Long asked curiously, "General Zhao, what are you talking about regarding the future of Qin?"

Zhao Ben and Zhang Han exchanged a glance, both seeing the guilty conscience in each other's eyes.

Zhao Long didn't think much of it. He had been dealing with a series of matters and was so tired that all he wanted to do was get a good night's sleep.

Zhao Long knew he bore a heavy responsibility, and Zhang Han treated him very well, so he had no complaints.

All I could think about was getting a massage from the new maid when I got back.

I don't know where Zhang Han found her, but she was a beautiful maid who was both literate and skilled in martial arts.

Could she be Zhang Han's adopted daughter or something?

Seeing that the two hadn't spoken, Zhao Long smiled and said, "The future of Qin?"

"I didn't expect the plan I made before to have progressed to this point so quickly."

"With General Yang training new recruits in the rear and Xiang Yu ready to support us at any time, taking over Bashu this time will be no problem."

"In the plan to rebuild the Qin Dynasty, we also need to find a bloodline of the First Emperor, or at the very least, a direct descendant of the royal family. Does the General have any leads?"

As Zhao Long spoke, he saw the two important generals of Qin Dynasty exchanging glances.

“Young master, we have some leads. There was a princess who sought refuge in a farmer’s house during the Second Emperor’s reign. After the chaos in Xianyang, she disappeared without a trace.”

"They might be in the Chu army."

Zhang Han reported.

Zhao Long was not surprised. The First Emperor had quite a few children, and it was normal for a few to escape after the Second Emperor's tyrannical killings.

"Let's keep looking, it would be best to find a young master."

Zhang Han nodded: "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to find it when we rebuild the Three Qin regions."

Zhao Long didn't concern himself with the matter; he left it to Zhang Han to handle. He was exhausted and went back to have a heart-to-heart talk with his maid.

……

After Du He ran away, he arrived at a village located deep in the mountains and forests.

At this moment, he was in a terrible state, and there was no trace of the former mountain king he once was.

After being entertained, he met the young man in front of him.

"Du He, you piece of trash! A century-old army of three or four thousand men, and they've all died in battle?"

"How dare you come to see me!"

"You have utterly disgraced our ancient Shu Kingdom."

"I aspire to be the Emperor of Shu. How can I, with your achievements, offer sacrifices to the Sun God and claim the title of Emperor!"

The man before me is Du Yu, who now calls himself the King of Shu and wants to emulate the Emperor of Qin and establish an unparalleled empire.

No one remembers his original name anymore. He changed his name to Du Yu when he was young. This was the name of the first ruler of the Shu Kingdom, in order to revive the Shu Kingdom.

"You bastard, you should be used as a sacrifice to the sun god!"

Is there anything else you'd like to say?

Du He was filled with boundless anger: "Your Majesty, please give me another chance."

"These Han envoys are cunning and treacherous, with an army of 100,000, plotting to seize Bashu."

"I will kill them all!"

"Their fighting strength is not strong, they just have a lot of people. I only need 20,000 warriors to wipe them out!"

Many of the Yi generals present also spoke up: "Your Majesty, the Han army has already attacked, wanting to seize our Bashu. We absolutely cannot let them get away with it."

"Why not take the initiative, wipe them out first, and then seize the opportunity to invade Hanzhong and rebuild the Shu Kingdom!"

"Hmph—" Du Yu snorted coldly.

With the Qin army absent, he was able to focus on rebuilding the Shu Kingdom; how could he possibly watch the Han army enter Ba and Shu!

"Then I will spare your life. This time, I will personally lead 40,000 warriors of my entire clan to attack the Han army. I also want the head of that so-called King of Han!"

The King of Shu was furious and would not allow anyone else to encroach on his territory!

Bashu and Hanzhong will both belong to the Shu Kingdom!

Anyone who dares to covet the future of the Shu Kingdom must pay the price.

……

The Qin army had more food than they could eat, and it was inconvenient to carry it all, so they asked Zhang Cang to take some with him on his way back to Xianyang.

The Han army camp was not so fortunate.

The soldiers were stationed near Xieshui, and they were all starving. They searched everywhere for grass roots and tree bark to fill their stomachs.

After finishing his meal, he stared blankly at the dark mountains.

Inside Liu Bang's main tent, the civil and military officials present were also in very low spirits.

Why did the once invincible Han army, which had stormed into Hanzhong, end up in this state?

They were cut off from supplies, ambushed, attacked, and had their spoils stolen.

The Han army seemed to be struggling to rise out of the mud, but they only sank deeper and deeper!

Xiahou Ying kept his head down, refusing to look at the generals.

As expected, Xiahou Ying was not cut out to be a strategist.

When the tent was deathly silent, everyone could hear the rumbling in their stomachs. Xiao He sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten all day. Please have something to eat first."

Upon seeing the bowl of bright green soup brought by the guard, Liu Bang grabbed the bowl, slammed it upside down on the table, and roared.

Enraged, Liu Bang overturned the table.

"With Qin rats at my side, how can I eat!"
