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

Zhao Long sneered. It was the first time he had ever seen Liu Bang so enraged, as if he had lost his mind.

After raising his army, Liu Bang's power grew increasingly strong, and the status of a superior indeed provided for his subordinates.

At this moment, Liu Bang was like a furious scoundrel shouting.

"So what if the Qin army is bullying you!"

"When you raised an army against Qin, massacring and looting cities, did you ever consider that you were even more hateful than the so-called tyrannical Qin Dynasty?"

"Xiang Yu slaughtered Guanzhong, and you claim to be benevolent, but have you ever stood up for the people of Guanzhong and said a single good word?"

"Even if it's your current peace negotiation strategy, I'm afraid it's just a pretense. Your real plan is probably to use the guise of peace negotiations to secretly gather strength and launch a surprise attack on the Qin army!"

In an instant, Liu Bang, who had been furious, fell silent, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

How could this be? This was a plan that many of their Han generals had painstakingly devised!

It was because Liu Bang was able to survive against all odds that the foundation of the Han army, no matter how strong, could be exposed.

"Your voice is a little too shrill."

"The Han army was originally appointed by Xiang Yu, and it remains an ally of the Qin army. This incident is just a misunderstanding; how could it be an attempt to betray the Qin army?"

"I have come here in good faith to negotiate peace, yet you dare to slander me!"

Seeing Liu Bang's pale face and exasperated expression, Zhao Long shook his head and smiled.

Liu Bang was already panicked by the obvious change in his attitude.

The plan to use the Honggou Canal as a pawn—this shameless, age-old scheme—was something he had once discussed with Liu Bang.

Now, Liu Bang is essentially using his own strategies to deal with him.

Is it that Liu Bang was foolish, or that he had run out of ideas?

Regardless of the reason, it means that after seeing the current state of the Han army, Liu Bang realized that the Han army had reached a dead end.

Planning to create a chasm is tantamount to preparing for a desperate gamble.

Zhao Long didn't care about Liu Bang's expression: "If you want the Qin army to spare the lives of the Han army, there is still a chance. You have one last choice: go and kill those barbarians!"

In the distance, the barbarians had begun their restless attacks on the Han army again.

In an instant, Liu Bang broke down once again, his eyes turning bloodshot.

Why does everyone have to bully him?

Oh, heavens, why have you betrayed me!

Now that he has allowed the Han army to rise all the way up and sweep across the Qin state.

Why let the Qin army rise from the ashes and plunge the Han army into the mire again?

Liu Bang stared intently at Liuba City, wishing he could destroy the city with his gaze!

"Your Majesty should think this through carefully. If you do not reply within three days, I will definitely send you Xiahou Ying's head!"

Zhang Ping laughed excitedly!

The Han generals were all filled with rage, wishing they could immediately storm Liuba.

Liu Bang's body trembled for a long time, as an endless sense of humiliation quickly enveloped him like a tidal wave.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Go, kill all those barbarians."

At this moment, Liu Bang fell into extreme madness, and his endless anger could only be vented on the barbarians!

Only Xiao He looked at the black wolf figure with a puzzled expression. The figure looked too much like it!

How can this be? !

……

"Hahaha--"

As Liu Bang walked away, the Qin generals couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Bang is now in the most miserable state, but the more miserable he is, the happier they are.

"We still have 40,000 to 50,000 Han soldiers left. After another major battle with the Yi people, we will basically have no fighting strength left!"

"When the time comes, the Qin army will come out in full force and annihilate the Han traitors in one battle!"

Peace talks were out of the question. Even if Zhao Long hadn't exposed Liu Bang's conspiracy, the Qin army would never have made peace with the Han army.

The people of Guanzhong, the heart of Qin, will never agree to this!

The elite Qin soldiers will never agree to this!

These Qin generals would not agree to it.

Both the Qin army and the Qin state needed the blood of the Han army to wash away the unprecedented humiliation of the Qin Dynasty!

They have endured for so long, just to take revenge on their enemies.

Everyone assumed that Zhao Long had Liu Bang attack the Yi people in order to create an opportunity for the Qin army.

The Yi people living deep in the mountains and forests are not so easy to deal with.

The exhausted Han army may suffer greater losses than the barbarians.

But Liu Bang had no other choice!

For Xiahou Ying's sake, and also to preserve more of the Han army's fighting spirit, he dared not fight the main Qin army at this time.

The situation has now shifted from offense to defense. While it appears that the Qin army is the one defending the city, Liu Bang is actually in a predicament he can hardly withstand.

The Qin army's defense of Liuba posed the most fatal threat to the Han army.

"It is still the young master who is truly wise and resourceful, seeing through Liu Bang's scheme at a glance."

"Even Liu Bang must be filled with regret now, having lost his son."

Seeing that everyone was mocking Liu Bang, Zhang Ping immediately praised Zhao Long first.

From initial suspicion upon first meeting Zhao Long to complete trust in him now, he wants to become Zhao Long's favorite general!

Many Qin generals glared at Zhang Ping. What a lad! He's actually learned all this flattery, hasn't he?

Even Zhang Han gave Zhang Ping a fierce look before smiling at Zhao Long: "Young master is indeed a man of extraordinary destiny. The shameless Liu Bang drove you away and is now courting death."

"On the other hand, with the help of the prince, the Qin army is now thriving. When we destroy Liu Bang and conquer the Three Qin regions, our Great Qin will surely be at its zenith!"

"Even Guan Zhong and Yue Yi might not be as good as you, my lord."

Everyone looked at Zhang Han with admiration. He truly was a wise and experienced strategist, and his ability to praise people far surpassed that of Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping only praised Zhao Long's wisdom by pointing out the gains and losses of his strategies and plans.

Zhang Han then went directly to the rise and fall of a nation, praising Zhao Long's unparalleled talent.

A helpless smile flashed in Zhao Long's eyes: "Alright, generals, now is not the time to talk about this."

What's wrong with these Qin generals?

They're quite good at flattering and bootlicking, aren't they?

If I had had that ability back then, wouldn't I have been able to join Zhao Gao's group that called a deer a horse?

When Zhao Long spoke, everyone stopped, still somewhat unsatisfied. Even Li Xin stared wide-eyed.

These Qin generals are not quite what he imagined.

Li Xin clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with some concern, "Young master, Liu Bang's army is short of food and supplies. With months of food shortages, he would never risk his life in the mountains against the Yi people."

As a former general, Li Xin still possessed strategic vision, even though he had not commanded troops for many years.

His thoughts differed from those of the others. At this time, Liu Bang's attack on the Yi people in the mountains and forests, fighting on the enemy's home turf, was undoubtedly courting death.

Since he was going to die anyway, Liu Bang would definitely choose to attack the Qin army, which he hated even more.

Zhao Long laughed. This was why he wanted Li Xin. He could see through reality to the essence of things; his strategic vision was no joke.

Han Xin, standing beside him, also spoke with a smile: "Indeed, the strategy of using the Han River as the boundary should be Liu Bang's last straw."

"With this plan thwarted, Liu Bang was left with only one last possibility."

"The net is broken and the fish is dead!"

The eyes of the many Qin generals became incredibly fervent, showing no fear whatsoever, only eagerness to try.

They wished Liu Bang would come right now.

Li Xin felt a pang of emotion. Back then, he too had been so fearless and undaunted, truly embodying the spirit of a man.

He felt delighted with these young people, but still offered a word of advice.

"Given the Han army's desperate struggle, our Qin army must also be cautious. We must minimize the losses of our 10,000 Qin soldiers."

Li Xin began to ponder again what kind of strategy could achieve victory with minimal losses.

However, he looked at the Qin generals around him, all of whom wore strange smiles.

Is there something he doesn't know?

Zhang Han rubbed his hands together, a mischievous grin spreading across his face: "Hehe, not bad. Actually, among the Han army's generals, two are from Qin..."
