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

The ascension of the King of Qin to the throne officially signified the reconstruction of the Qin Empire and the arrival of the era of the Second Qin Empire.

Amid the cheers of the people, the people from all walks of life and various powerful forces had extremely complex expressions in their eyes.

The Qin state, surprisingly, received the favor of Heaven alone.

Not content with bestowing upon the First Emperor, they then sent an even more outrageous Fourth Emperor.

After the two wars of unification waged by the Qin state, the powerful and influential feudal lords of the Warring States period were almost entirely wiped out.

The Qin dynasty, having made a comeback, now holds an unshakeable position.

On this day, the people of Chang'an were completely engrossed in celebration, and more nobles began to consider the possibility of a Western Regions expansion mission.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to remain in the Qin state.

……

Throughout the Qin Dynasty, the thunderous ascension of the King of Qin to the throne shook the land, causing ripples of change.

However, most ordinary people simply wanted to survive in the chaos of the world.

After receiving the news that the King of Qin had successfully ascended the throne, the people from all the major powers finally felt relieved.

Legally speaking, the Qin state once again became the Great Qin Empire, and was the legitimate successor to the throne.

At this time, rebellion would set a bad example for the people of Chang'an.

This is undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock, a path to certain death.

The message was quickly sent to the northern border of the Qin Dynasty.

"The ceremony was a great success. From then on, the world had an emperor and its first empress..."

Wang Ben's eyes were bloodshot, as if from excitement or fanaticism.

"Let me present Your Majesty with the first congratulatory gift since the reconstruction of the empire!"

"Today, we will march out of the pass and attack the Xiongnu!"

With the assistance of a group of spies, the Qin army had long ago begun its plan to lure the main force of the White Sheep Xiongnu into the ambush and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

……

Outside the Great Wall north of Yanmen Commandery, the Xiongnu people of the Baiyang tribe had long since invaded this area and received some supplies at close range.

"How can 20,000 shi of grain be enough to feed 10,000 soldiers? We need another 20,000, and two hundred beautiful women to accompany them!"

The Aries King looked at Xia Shuo, who had brought the grain, with utter arrogance.

Xia took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he spoke: "Your Majesty has been fighting your way to the north of Yanmen for over a month, why haven't you officially launched an attack on the Great Wall yet!"

King Baiyang was ordered to lead 10,000 soldiers as the vanguard of the 100,000-strong Qin army that marched south to attack Yanmen and Yunzhong.

They dawdled the whole way, which is one thing.

After reaching the northern part of Yanmen and obtaining its supplies, they kept their troops stationed there. No matter what he said, they refused to send troops to launch a large-scale attack on the Great Wall that the Qin army had reclaimed.

Xia said that at first he planned to send more supplies, hoping that the Aries King would start the attack sooner.

However, this is already the third batch of supplies, which was only managed by exhausting all local resources and plundering a lot of people.

That damned Aries King, he's remained inactive the whole time.

Xia said he now has very good reason to suspect that the White Sheep King is deliberately swindling him out of his grain under the guise of attacking the Qin army!

Xia said he wished he could take all the grain he had brought with him!

"Acting Prime Minister, look, he's in a hurry again!"

"I've said it so many times, you Southerners are too ruthless. If I'm going to attack, I'll definitely send people to gather all the information before I officially send out my troops!"

"If the acting prime minister can provide us with another 20,000 shi of grain, enough for the eagles of the grasslands to have a good meal, we will have the strength to march south immediately!"

Xia looked up and saw Aries King's sincere face. She took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm.

He is now a traitor to Qin, on a path of no return. He cannot deal with the Qin people on his own; he must rely on the Xiongnu.

He is under too much pressure.

When the two Qin armies officially came into contact with him from the left and right, it seemed that he had no other choice but to gain the support of the Xiongnu.

“Your Majesty, the Dai region is only a single prefecture. The supplies we stockpiled in the past have already been given to the Great Chanyu.”

"There are no supplies in Daidi."

"I only ask, when will Your Majesty send out troops?"

A fierce glint flashed in Xia's eyes, and he directly questioned her.

This murderous intent made the Aries King smile in surprise. He never expected that this seemingly calm two-legged sheep could suddenly erupt like this.

The other Aries warriors present were immediately enraged and confronted Xia's momentum head-on.

"Acting Prime Minister, when the eagle hunts is its own plan, and it's not your place to ask!"

"Twenty thousand shi of grain, otherwise the Baiyang tribe would never have sent troops!"

"..."

After they finished speaking, they remained deadlocked, and the atmosphere in the tent became very subtle.

Until a soldier rushed in; he was a Xiongnu scout.

"Your Majesty, the Qin soldiers on the city wall are all cheering, saying things like congratulating Your Majesty and wishing the Great Qin Dynasty eternal prosperity..."

After he finished speaking, even the Xiongnu people's expressions changed slightly.

They were making such a racket that they almost forgot the time; the first day of the fourth month was the day the King of Qin ascended the throne and began to rule the world.

Xia Shuo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The entire Qin state was busy with the enthronement ceremony and did not have time to deal with the war in the north."

"Given the Qin king's warlike nature, he will inevitably launch a formal military campaign into the north!"

"If you keep dawdling, just waiting for my food, the Qin people who come to collect you might be the first to arrive!"

After saying that, Xia left without looking back.

These Xiongnu people are truly uncooperative.

He is currently experiencing an extremely uncomfortable feeling of suffocation.

When the Qin army launches its next major campaign against the north, it will certainly first deal with the Dai region.

We must hurry back and take charge of the overall situation.

"These two sheep are truly useless. The mere ascension of the King of Qin has scared them away!"

After Xia left, the Xiongnu people all spoke with great disdain.

Xia said that when she left, she looked extremely frightened and disheveled!

"That's right, the Baiyang tribe has been fighting the Qin people for many years. No matter which time the Qin people attacked Baiyang, they were unable to launch a proper attack due to a lack of supplies!"

"Without enough food, how can the eagles of the grasslands march north?"

"The Qin people are currently engaged in continuous warfare, and their food supplies must be insufficient. As long as we do not launch an offensive, we will not suffer too many losses, and we can also obtain the grain from the Great Chanyu and Xia Shuo for free!"

"..."

The Baiyang tribe members said they had absolutely no intention of fighting the Qin army.

The mission to seize the vanguard was simply to obtain more food support from the Great Chanyu. In addition, with the three batches of supplies provided by Xia, they were extremely satisfied.

As for fighting the Qin army, let the other units handle that!

It was precisely because the Baiyang tribe had fought against the Qin army for many years that they were very familiar with the Qin army's combat capabilities.

They're a pack of wolves!

When an eagle faces a pack of wolves, its greatest advantage is its mobility.

They were all cavalry; if they couldn't win, they would just run away.

"It seems Xia Shuo really doesn't have any more food on hand, so there's no need for us to continue stationing so close to the city wall!"

"Next, we'll pretend to launch a full-scale attack to give the Great Chanyu an explanation."

The Aries tribe did not feel that retreating was a disgrace at all.

The Great Chanyu unified the grasslands and gave them so many benefits, why should they risk their lives for him?

"Someone, go and invite our old friend Manchuchen over, and see if he can offer any suggestions to help us."
