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

Liu Bang was immediately enraged, his face turning ashen. He hadn't expected Lü Yi to directly use his words against him.

That damned Lü Yi, he was clearly exiled by the Qin Dynasty, so why is he so loyal, so determined to follow a country that has already been destroyed?

Liu Bang, his face ashen, continued, "The Qin state was tyrannical; it perished because it defied morality!"

"I, along with the heroes of the world, will punish the tyrannical Qin, first conquer Xianyang, suppress the Qin state, and save the people from their suffering!"

"Since I raised my army, I have enjoyed the support of the people, which is why I am able to command an army of 100,000. This is the way of Shunde and prosperity!"

“The current hardships are merely a test from Heaven. I will not concern myself with trivial matters, and my primary goal is to save the world.”

"Does Lord Lü really have to defy the will of Heaven and oppose me?"

Liu Bang's words already carried a hint of threat.

His words were full of deeper meaning, and Lü Yi laughed upon hearing them.

"Who said the Qin Dynasty is over?"

"Guanzhong is still here, Bashu is still here, and the Qin people haven't all died out yet."

Lu Yi couldn't help but chuckle. It turned out that Liu Bang, the famous King of Han, was also a shameless fellow who liked to embellish his own reputation.

Look at how destitute the Han army has become, and they're still talking about being tested by heaven.

Lu Yi sneered: "His Majesty the First Emperor unified the four seas and ended hundreds of years of chaos and strife. He is the one who truly possesses great virtue!"

"Only by following the virtuous path can prosperity be achieved, thus establishing the glorious Qin Dynasty!"

"You traitors, instead of serving your country and ensuring peace in your land, you betrayed Qin for your own selfish gain, marching all the way to Xianyang and plunging the world into chaos once again. The peaceful world has been disrupted by traitors like you!"

"The current setback of the Qin Dynasty is merely a test from Heaven. This temporary defeat will soon be dealt with, and we will soon be able to wipe out you traitors."

"Besides, His Majesty the First Emperor is called the Son of Heaven, so the Great Qin is Heaven itself!"

"Who do you think you are, Liu Bang? Does Heaven need to test you?"

"Hahaha--"

Lu Yi was extremely proud.

Although he was not from Qin, he knew that Qin's countless hardships over the past few centuries had only made them stronger, and this time was no exception!

Whenever the Qin Dynasty was in chaos, strange and monstrous things would inevitably emerge.

Even though the era of the First Emperor has passed, Zhao Long still exists today.

Zhao Long stabilized the region, led the Qin people to rise again, and saved the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Long is that extraordinary hero!

Zhao Long is the new destiny, saving six million Qin people. Is there anyone in the world with higher virtue than him?

Those who follow the right path will prosper; only a great Qin dynasty like this will do!

Lü Yi would certainly not condone a traitor like Liu Bang!

At this moment, Liu Bang was dumbfounded. He had only read a few books and was not yet fully literate. He had no idea how to refute Lü Yi's words!

Liu Bang's wrinkled old face trembled with rage, on the verge of exploding. Enraged, he forcefully declared, "Lü Yi, I know you are a clever man. I command 100,000 elite troops. If you do not submit to me today, I will exterminate the entire Lü family!"

Liu Bang was filled with boundless rage, feeling like a monkey in the mountains, being humiliated and mocked.

He could no longer tolerate it and couldn't hold back any longer.

The endless grievances suffered by the Han army after entering Xieyu Pass erupted in an instant!

If you don't submit, then die!

The atmosphere instantly became incredibly heavy.

After a long while, a few light words floated down from the city wall: "May your blade be sharper than your tongue!"

Liu Bang's rising anger finally erupted.

The grievances he had suffered over the past few days transformed into a boundless killing intent!

Xiang Yu humiliated him, the Qin army humiliated him, but he was the King of Han, how could he allow a mere Lü Yi to humiliate him again and again!

He wants to take Liuba, he wants to eliminate Lü Yi, and he needs the grain and fodder in Liuba City!

"Xiahou Ying, what are you waiting for? Attack Liuba and wipe out this villain!"

Before Xiao He could stop it, the Han army launched a large-scale attack on Liuba.

"Well done, well done..."

Zhang Ping already felt his whole body burning up!

When Liu Bang defeated Qin and Xiang Yu slaughtered Qin, the people of Qin faced an unprecedented ordeal.

But they haven't given up yet!

The flames of revenge allowed the Qin army to rise from the ashes!

Transformed into a blazing battle spirit, it will once again conquer the world!

Zhang Ping had been longing for this battle for a long time.

He had long wanted to wage war against Liu Bang, but he lacked a suitable opportunity.

With Zhao Long's permission, we can finally get down to business.

"My comrades, fight to the death!"

"We will fight until the blood is shed dry!"

Zhang Ping roared excitedly, "I'm talking about the blood of the Han army!"

Liuba was the most important pass and city on the Baoxie Road. In recent days, it had been continuously fortified by the Qin army. The outer perimeter could accommodate at most a thousand soldiers who could attack at the same time.

Zhang Ping, leading two thousand garrison troops, showed no fear whatsoever!

Liu Bang finally had the audacity to attack the Qin army; he was overjoyed.

"General, go and fight with confidence. The young master has secured Hanzhong and will arrive to provide support soon after receiving our message!"

Lu Yi spoke with a smile.

With the formidable pass in hand, it was nothing short of a pipe dream for Liu Bang's exhausted army to break through.

From the moment Liu Bang launched his attack, it meant that the Han army was rushing headlong into the abyss and courting death.

Moreover, he had already received news that the Yi people in these mountains and forests had launched an attack.

Where have the barbarians gone?

"The nearest one is less than fifty miles from Liuba."

Lu Yi received an affirmative answer and smiled!

The Han army was destined to be defeated and destroyed in the Bashu region.

……

The Han army launched its attack. In the narrow terrain, the battle lines were incredibly dense, and they quickly reached the city walls.

"Whizzing!"

Countless Qin soldiers' arrows began to fly out, and Liu Bang's pupils suddenly contracted as he saw a dense barrage of arrows shooting down from the sky.

Many Han soldiers showed fear in their eyes.

In such terrain, when faced with arrows, the soldiers' dense battle formations simply had no time to dodge.

Sure enough, a large number of Han soldiers were killed by arrows the next moment.

The surviving Han soldiers, trying to find shelter from the arrows, were thrown into chaos.

Screams echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"How could this be? How could there be such an arrangement in Liuba City?"

Liu Bang was filled with fear and anger, and he roared at Xiao He, demanding an explanation.

Even when the Han army's plans went awry several times, he never got angry with Xiao He.

This time, the situation was completely out of control!

Liuba City seemed to have prepared in advance for this battle.

The spies in the Han army were also under Xiao He's responsibility, so why did they keep failing?

Liu Bang couldn't afford to lose anymore, so why didn't he receive advance notice that there was such a defense in Liuba City?

Xiao He's face was pale as he looked at the densely packed Han soldiers crammed outside Liuba City. They couldn't find any place to hide and could only wildly wave their swords and spears.

Xiao He was shaken to his core, and suddenly understood.

His pupils were filled with a dark gray, and he spoke with extreme bitterness: "We've all been tricked by the Qin army. These Qin soldiers actually want to rebuild the Qin state!"

"What they did was not just to help Xiang Yu trap the Han army, but they may even have wanted to destroy the Han army and occupy Bashu."

The Qin army developed too quickly, and the sharpness it displayed was not as simple as the sword in Xiang Yu's hand.

He had always felt something was wrong: why would the arrogant Qin people willingly become Xiang Yu's pawns?

It wasn't until he heard Lü Yi's mockery and saw Liuba City before him that he realized the Qin people had been enduring humiliation all along!

Their temporary submission to Xiang Yu was merely an act of enduring humiliation in order to rebuild the Qin Dynasty.

After enduring hardship and biding their time, the three thousand Yue soldiers were able to conquer Wu. Even after the Qin state was destroyed, the remaining Qin soldiers still harbored terrifying ambitions.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Bang was furious!

Why, why is it that everything Liu Bang did after entering Guanzhong was so unsuccessful!

Originally, it was thought that Liuba was just a small place with no Qin troops stationed there, and that the Han army could take it down after paying some price.

He had no idea that Liuba City was not a place he could easily control, but a formidable pass that had been meticulously fortified.

With such a fortified pass, as long as there are two thousand elite troops stationed there, given the current state of the Han army, there is no way they can break through.

Xiao He gave a bitter smile: "Our plan this time has probably failed again."

"The Qin army surrendered to Xiang Yu to mislead him and secretly develop their strength again, just like King Goujian of Yue."

"The Qin people have been avoiding war with us like mice, probably to buy time and wait for their strength to be rebuilt."

"Now that Liuba Ling dares to provoke us like this, it must mean that the Qin army's forces are almost ready!"

"Perhaps the Qin army has already captured Hanzhong and left Liuba City to block the advance of our Han army. Soon the Qin army will come back to deal with us!"

"What did you say?"

So, by having the Qin army advance ahead of the Han army, wasn't the Han army essentially handing over Hanzhong to the Qin army?

At this moment, Liu Bang was filled with boundless rage!

Was the Qin army's true objective to seize Hanzhong and annihilate the Han army?

How dare you, traitor who destroyed a nation, insult King Liu Bang of Han like this!

His anger had consumed all his reason.

Their former, weary nature has also been completely exposed.

"Kill! Storm the city and let your troops roam freely for three days!"
