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

For Liu Bang, Xiahou Ying was a general he absolutely could not afford to lose.

Since the Han army entered Guanzhong, it has suffered losses that Liu Bang could not afford.

He couldn't just stand by and watch Xiahou Ying die!

More importantly, Xiahou Ying was one of his most important colleagues in Huaiyin. If he didn't care about Xiahou Ying's life or death, it would directly hurt people's feelings.

With no other choice, he suddenly remembered the plan that Zhao Long had proposed in the past!

The generals fell silent instantly, staring at Liu Bang with disbelief in their eyes.

It's unbelievable that Liu Bang came up with such a plan!

They agreed to make peace on the condition that the Qin army would keep their secrets, and after a period of rest and recuperation, they would immediately launch a counterattack against the Qin army!

In the struggle for supremacy, it's a matter of life and death, and no means are spared.

The Han army has come this far not because of any woman's compassion. They don't care about the ruthlessness of this plan, only whether they can win.

They are the mighty Han army that has advanced triumphantly through bloodshed!

More importantly, this strategy was proposed by Liu Bang.

"Your Majesty actually has a strategy for governing the country."

Xiao He looked at Liu Bang with some surprise, not expecting that Liu Bang would suddenly have a breakthrough in his despair.

This is a wise and experienced strategy for governing the country.

After the Han River became the boundary, the Han army was at a disadvantage and could not find an opportunity to attack the Qin army for the time being, so they could rest and recuperate first.

Given the Han army's situation, this was a strategy that allowed them to advance or retreat at will.

Given the current morale of the Han army, this plan gave these frustrated Han generals a glimmer of hope, and they would no longer oppose peace talks!

Could Liu Bang really have come up with this?

Facing the intense gazes of the crowd, Liu Bang's originally pale face suddenly flushed red, and he asked anxiously, "Will this plan succeed?"

The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

The Han army is currently in a situation where it has no other options.

At this point, their king proposed such a plan, so how could anyone possibly have a different opinion?

Xiao He knew that Liu Bang needed confidence most at this time, and he had no objection to this plan, so he spoke first.

"The King of Han's strategy is prudent. The Qin army is currently devastated in Guanzhong, and the people are impoverished. What they need most is time."

"If we also offer to keep the Qin army's secrets, the Qin army will surely agree to peace talks!"

"If the Qin army agrees, they are courting death. Our Han army still has tens of thousands of soldiers. If we can find a foothold, the Han army will surely prosper and turn back to fight the Qin traitors again!"

Xiao He praised Liu Bang, saying that the strategy, which seemed ruthless but was actually a strategic retreat, was very familiar to Xiao He.

It sounds like a plan that an old friend might have suggested.

"Indeed, Liu Bang is a hero destined by Heaven. Even in such a critical moment, he can still think of such a mature and steady strategy. Heaven blesses the Han army!"

"With the King of Han here, our Han army will never be defeated. This time we will definitely wipe out the Qin army, occupy Bashu, and make all the Qin people kneel down and kowtow to apologize."

"..."

After Xiao He spoke, everyone, without thinking too much, chimed in, praising Liu Bang's strategy.

When the Han army was in such dire straits, Liu Bang's quick wit and brilliant strategy naturally excited everyone!

As expected, Heaven did not forsake the Han army.

Praising Liu Bang not only boosted his confidence but also helped them build confidence.

The series of crushing defeats not only caused Liu Bang to break down, but also made these Han generals feel a suffocating sense of oppression!

Now everyone is counting on Liu Bang's strategy to turn the tide and vent their anger.

Inside the main tent, the initial grief and indignation had transformed into everyone praising Liu Bang, all within just a few words from him.

This made Liu Bang's pupils shrink suddenly, and even with his thick skin, he felt his face burning.

This is hardly a plan he came up with.

Of course, Liu Bang wouldn't offer any further explanation at this point.

Zhao Long is no longer with the Han army; he is a traitor. There is no need for him to reveal the origin of the plan and undermine everyone's confidence.

Let everyone think that this is a scheme by the King of Han!

"If this plan succeeds, I will be the chosen one!"

A fierce glint gradually appeared in Liu Bang's eyes.

The humiliation Xiang Yu suffered, the bullying by the Qin army, and now even the Yi people want to cause him trouble.

Liu Bang was no pushover either.

If he just needs to be patient a little longer, once the peace talks are successful, he can take back everything he has lost!

In the future, we will conquer Hanzhong, take Guanzhong, and then compete with Xiang Yu for the world.

This plan will surely become a legendary tale for all time.

Liu Bang thought to himself, "Thank you, Zhao Long!"

It was only because of Zhao Long's plan that he was given a chance.

First, lower the Qin army's guard, then turn around and strike them dead in one blow.

However, Liu Bang then faced another problem: who should he send to the Qin army to discuss a peace deal?

In the past, when Liu Bang sent envoys from the Han army on missions, they were always successful.

The madman Li Shiqi's furious barking in Wuguan Pass years ago, even cursing, completely extinguished the Qin army's fighting spirit in Wuguan Pass.

Even then, the Han envoys were safe and sound.

How could they be like the Qin army of today, so ruthless?

In war, envoys are not to be killed. Liu Bang himself considered himself no saint, but he would not be as immoral as the Qin army.

For every envoy who went, they were killed.

Liu Bang remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Who is willing to go as an envoy to the Qin army to discuss a peace treaty?"

The crowd, who had been excitedly praising Liu Bang, all lowered their heads again.

Everyone knows now that the Han envoys who went to the Qin army camp were expendable, the kind who never returned.

The crucial point is that they're never coming back, and there's no benefit to it.

Liu Bang couldn't defeat the Qin army, so he had to sue for peace; dying would be pointless.

Suppressing his overwhelming rage, Liu Bang asked, "Does my Han army, filled with heroes, not have a single man of courage?"

After Liu Bang finished speaking, no one responded.

Chai Wu and Wang Ling exchanged glances, and eventually their eyes dimmed.

This peace negotiation was Liu Bang's last lifeline, and he could not allow any unexpected events to occur.

The two of them have already surrendered to the Qin army, so it's best not to alert them.

Liu Bang was furious, clutching his heart, purely out of anger!

Seeing the crowd's attitude, Liu Bang angrily cursed again: "Shameless, utterly shameless Qin army."

He's even more shameless than Liu Bang.

Look how terrified these Han military and civilian officials, who once looked down on the world, are!

It was at this moment that they heard a commotion coming from inside Liuba City.

When Liu Bang looked at Liuba this time, the despair in his eyes was gone, replaced by a scarlet killing intent that seemed to engulf the entire Liuba.

Cao Can asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, could it be that our soldiers successfully disrupted Liuba?"

Xiao He smiled bitterly: "Xiahou Ying has already been captured. How can the remaining hundred generals possibly turn the tide?"

It is a fact that the Qin army swiftly annihilated Xiahou Ying.

At this moment, Xiao He saw more black dragon battle flags planted on the city wall and more Qin soldiers standing on the wall, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"The main force of the Qin army has returned!"
