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

Without hesitation, Li Shang attacked the Qin soldiers beside him, attempting to seize their weapons and break through.

However, the Qin soldiers immediately dodged and even punched Li Shang.

"how is this possible?"

Li Shang felt a pain in his shoulder and spoke in disbelief.

The soldiers who took action were comparable in strength to a thousand-man commander in the Han army!

As the most important junior commander in war, a military officer not only needs to have merits for promotion, but also needs to be extremely brave!

He stubbornly attacked several other Qin soldiers, but failed to capture any of them.

Zhao Ben noticed something was wrong at this moment and came over immediately.

Li Shang shouted anxiously, "Chai Wu, hurry up and help me get out of here!"

"Do you really want to become a traitor to the Han army?"

Just as Chai Wu gritted his teeth and was about to make a move, Zhao Ben rushed over.

With just a few punches, Li Shang was knocked to the ground, his face a bloody mess, unable to utter a single complete word.

Zhao Ben grinned, showing his big teeth, and looked at Chai Wu with a smile: "General Chai, would you like to have a punch too?"

Chai Wu decisively fell silent, looking warily at the Qin army guards around him.

The soldiers staring at him and Li Shang looked incredibly burly. Chai Wu had initially thought they were just a bit fierce, but he hadn't expected them to be so brave and valiant!

If they were placed in the Han army, they might even serve as subordinate generals.

"These are the young master's personal guards. These men are all squad leaders and are quite capable."

These are the elite of the elite, selected and trained by Zhao Ben over many years. How could they not be strong!

Chai Wu exclaimed in surprise, "The King of Han..."

If Zhao Long's personal guards were so brave, and if Zhao Long had been kept in the Han camp that day, would the Han army have already conquered Bashu and now have their sights set on Qin?

After finishing his work, Zhao Long had already removed his mask when he met Chai Wu.

Many soldiers in the Qin army knew that there were strategists.

He doesn't need to stay hidden forever; he can just meet people as a strategist, as long as they don't know who he is for the time being.

Upon meeting Chai Wu, Zhao Long said with a smile, "General Chai is exceptional in both literary and military affairs, and possesses lofty ambitions like Yue Yi."

"The Qin army is now in dire need of talent like you, General."

"General Chai, are you willing to join the Great Qin and serve it from now on?"

Chai Wu was stunned; he truly hadn't expected Zhao Long to be so blunt!

Being straightforward means you value them more; not beating around the bush means you're telling me you want to win them over!

Chai Wu pondered for a long time. He knew, of course, that since he knew the secret of the Qin army, it was impossible for him to return to the Han army alive.

He finally let out a long sigh, his struggling expression gradually calming down.

Compared to the Han army, the Qin army appeared to be at a disadvantage due to the sheer number of troops.

However, the Han army had a fatal flaw.

Foundation!

As long as Guanzhong existed, no matter how many times the Qin people fell over the centuries, they always managed to get back up successfully.

This time, all the feudal lords in the land, including him, thought they could drive the Qin army into the abyss in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, the Qin army managed to fight their way out.

The blood shed by the Qin people over the past few centuries has not been forgotten by the Qin people of today!

They are still part of this country.

When someone raises their voice, they remain elite and fierce warriors, ready to fight to the death for their country!

Guanzhong has nurtured scholars for six hundred years!

They have nurtured Qin warriors who are single-minded and indomitable!

With the Lü clan also surrendering, it's likely that Liu Bang, who is currently running out of food, will have difficulty even taking Hanzhong.

The Qin army controlled Guanzhong and Bashu, which was the foundation of its hegemony!

With Zhao Long still around, even in the worst-case scenario, they should be able to rival Xiang Yu.

What Chai Wu seeks is the future.

Having foreseen the future, I sincerely bow in reverence!

"Chai Wu greets the strategist general. From now on, I am willing to follow your lead and serve the Great Qin."

"Haha, with a general like this, the Great Qin is like a fish in water! Today is truly a joyous occasion!"

"The future of Qin will surely be bright!"

"With the general's secret assistance, Liu Bang is nothing but a clay chicken and a tile dog. Once we destroy Liu Bang, take Guanzhong and Bashu, and regain the strength of the Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin can once again conquer the world!"

"The general will surely be remembered in history, just like the famous generals of the Qin Dynasty, whose fame has resonated throughout the ages!"

Zhao Long laughed heartily and began to praise him incessantly.

Chai Wu's greatest achievement was being one of the planners and executors of the Battle of Gaixia!

Another brilliant strategist has arrived in Qin.

Chai Wu was immediately filled with excitement. He believed that the Qin army's future, at the very least, was to become a hegemon and be able to fight against Xiang Yu.

Inspired by Zhao Long's strong confidence, he was now thinking that the Qin army might have another chance to unify the world!

He was among them, so he should do his best for the Qin army.

After talking with Zhao Long, Chai Wu gave a reminder.

"My lord, the King of Han devised a plan to send the Qin army ahead first, so that after the Qin barbarians have fought a bloody battle, he can reap the final benefits."

"Don't worry, the Qin army already knew about this. The Qin army agreed to Liu Bang's request to march quickly into Hanzhong in order to blockade the passes and cities in various places. What do you think will happen then?"

Upon hearing what Zhao Long said, Chai Wu was not surprised, but felt even more fortunate.

Fortunately, he had already decided to join the Qin army; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

With the pass sealed off, the barbarians would naturally attack the Han army in the mountains and forests, not the Qin army stationed at the pass.

"I have ordered the Qin generals to each lead a portion of their troops to various parts of Hanzhong."

The land of Bashu was almost unaffected by the chaos of the Qin wars. At that time, most of the Yi people in Bashu had not submitted to the Qin, and the strength of the Qin army in various places was also limited.

Even if some people had ulterior motives, given Lü's prestige and the soldiers directly dispatched by the Qin army, they would be taught a lesson.

Might makes right!

"Indeed, the land of Bashu has always been part of the Qin Dynasty; a mere proclamation is enough to subdue it!"

This is the Qin army's greatest advantage.

The Qin people ruled Shu for a century, and the Qin civilization system established by Qin's ancestors and several generations in Bashu could not be shaken in a short period of time.

When Liu Bang arrived in Hanzhong, he still needed to use some tactics to manage his relationships with local officials, stabilize the region, and proceed gradually.

The Qin army's situation is even simpler; now, it's just a matter of returning everything to the Qin Dynasty.

The Guanzhong and Bashu regions were originally part of the Qin people's system.

When the Qin army once again revealed its claws and aimed at Hanzhong, it would actually be very difficult for Liu Bang to seize it.

"With the young master here, the Great Qin will surely prosper!"

He greatly admired Zhang Han for daring to delegate such power to Zhao Long.

Zhao Long did not disappoint anyone.

"The Qin Dynasty is thriving, and it certainly wouldn't have been possible without the help of a great talent like the General!"

"General, you can go back after you kill Li Shang."

After Zhao Long finished speaking, Chai Wu smiled bitterly to himself, thinking, "This is a pledge of allegiance."

However, unlike Wang Ling, he did not have such strong resistance. As someone who had just surrendered, he naturally wanted to find a way to gain the trust of the Qin army.

A seemingly virtuous and refined general can be more terrifying than a reckless brute when he turns ruthless.

He also really wants to improve!

"If you encounter any problems while in the Han army camp, you can consult with Wang Ling."

Chai Wu paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "But Wang Ling is a trusted general of the King of Han. Discussing things with him..."

As they were talking, Chai Wu's eyes widened in horror as he finally realized what was happening.

"Wang Ling's last disappearance occurred after he had already joined the Qin army?"

Seeing Zhao Long nod slightly, Chai Wu felt a surge of turbulent emotions.

Wang Ling was different from him; he was from a powerful family in Huaiyin and one of Liu Bang's most important supporters in the early days.

“My lord, the King of Han has already given orders that Wang Ling commands two battalions of troops. If we add the battalion under my command, the three battalions will number nearly ten thousand.”

So there were so many spies in Liu Bang's camp?

With a force comprising one-tenth of the current Han army, they could turn the tide of the war at any moment!

"Yes, try to recruit a few more people later, we'll need you soon."
