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

The last loyalists of the Han army stood guard beside Xiao He, awaiting his final orders.

Amidst the flames engulfing the grain and provisions camp, the screams of Han soldiers could still be heard intermittently.

However, Xiao He still firmly supported himself and slowly stood up, his eyes filled with regret.

"It is I who have failed the King of Han!"

"Perhaps I should have helped the King of Han that day and tried every means to kill you."

When it was unlikely that Zhao Long would return to the Han army, he shouldn't have cared about any sentimentality and thought about leaving Zhao Long a way out.

Instead, they should kill Zhao Long at all costs.

To leave no future trouble for the Han army.

Xiao He, a man of unparalleled talent who hated the Han army, was so ruthless that even he, now knowing the whole truth, was somewhat numb to it.

Zhao Long simply smiled faintly. The more Xiao He wanted to kill him, the more he approved of what Zhao Long had done during this period!

The humiliation inflicted on Liu Bang was nothing more than Liu Bang courting his own death.

Soon, Xiao He saw the half-dead Xiahou Ying and the head of Cao Can.

"asshole……"

Even Xiao He, whose manners and demeanor were unparalleled and who remained unfazed even when the Han army fell into a trap, paled completely at this moment.

Many of the Qin army's tactics were a mix of feints and real attacks, but their troop strength was genuinely small, making it impossible for them to fight on two fronts. So how did Chai Wu's force of over ten thousand men fail?

"Chai Wu, is Chai Wu one of yours too?"

Zhao Long nodded slightly, and Xiao He's already numb heart was now somewhat frightened.

Damn it, the Han army camp is full of traitors, how are we supposed to fight like this!

People say that kings and nobles are merely "the lonely and the widowed."

Liu Bang was enfeoffed as the King of Han, but he truly became a lonely figure!

Guan Ying, who had been captured, was brought to Xiahou Ying's side at this time.

"what--"

He stared at Cao Can's head and roared in fury!

This shocked Xiao He so much that he was in a state of utter confusion. He smiled tremblingly and said, "You've already won, so can't you... can't you look back on our past relationship and give them a way out?"

Xiao He himself blushed a little when he said this.

Back in the Han army camp, the ones who ostracized Zhao Long the most were Fan Kuai and Cao Can, who were his direct subordinates from Fengpei!

Zhao Long was too lazy to say more, and said coldly, "Lord Xiao, I know your intentions, that you do not wish to betray the King of Han."

"If you lay down your weapons and surrender now, their lives can stay with you."

"If you want to die, I will make you and them go down with you."

In an instant, the Qin archers had already aimed their arrows at the Han army on Xiao He's side.

Zhao Long has never been a soft-hearted person.

The Qin army has risen again; if he had been even slightly soft-hearted, the Qin army would not have developed to such strength today.

However, he still cherished the last bit of friendship with Xiao He and gave him one last chance.

If Xiao He still wants to die for Liu Bang, then the Qin army will grant him that honor!

At that moment, many of the Han soldiers subconsciously looked towards Xiao He.

No one wanted to die if they could simply surrender to the Qin army without betraying the King of Han.

Xiao He's pale face turned white and then blue as he stared at Zhao Long in disbelief.

Is there some kind of magic in the Qin army that makes even the most refined person become utterly shameless when they join the Qin army?

These horse-breeding scoundrels have absolutely no idea what morality or shame are.

They only trust their own swords!

Xiao He had no doubt that if he refused now, the Han army would be buried with him.

He saw the utterly cold look in Zhao Long's eyes; even a cowardly person could still feel despair.

Damn it, that bastard King Han, why did he just drive this person away!

Zhao Long spoke with utter indifference: "Lord Xiao, I will count to three. If you do not answer by then, it will be considered that you have refused to live."

Even though Xiao He was furious, he was helpless at this moment.

He looked at the Han army in the distance, still being slaughtered by the Qin army.

How many of them were brothers they had brought back from Fengpei?

If they all die here today, how can Xiao He face his fellow villagers?

Even after death, in the underworld, wouldn't you be cursed by countless ghosts?

Xiao He couldn't bear it any longer; he couldn't bear to see them die like this.

He looked in Liu Bang's direction. Liu Bang should be far away by now. His clenched fists bled from his palms. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Put down your weapons and surrender!"

In an instant, the Han soldiers around him also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Long also laughed as he watched Xiao He being brought over.

"Take the person back and keep a close watch on them."

He didn't expect Xiao He to be willing to surrender to the Qin army right now. Since he had already captured Zhang Liang, he might as well take him back to keep him company.

As for Guan Ying and the others, if they don't obey, the Qin army has plenty of ways to make them behave!

His gaze turned to the direction Liu Bang had left: "Let's go, let's chase after them."

Zhao Long didn't bother with pleasantries with Xiao He and decisively chased after him, which immediately made Xiao He anxious: "Don't you know the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?"

"If our lord is destroyed, the Qin army will not fare any better."

Zhao Long paused, turned around and glanced at Xiao He.

"Lord Xiao is indeed a wise man. He should have thought everything through. Lord Xiao is saying that although Qin and Han were enemies, they can actually depend on each other now, right?"

Zhao Long's words struck a chord with Xiao He, and it was not without reason that he was willing to surrender. After surrendering, Xiao He should persuade Zhao Long to let Liu Bang live.

The greatest enemy of our time is that damned Xiang Yu!

Xiao He spoke anxiously: "If Qin destroys Han and the King of Han dies, Xiang Yu will surely be wary."

"If King Han were still alive, Xiang Yu would certainly still be wary of King Han's resurgence."

"Only if Qin and Han could form an alliance could they resist Xiang Yu."

Zhao Long shook his head and laughed, even Xiao He was a little confused.

"But on that day, Liu Bang wanted to kill me. He sent a hundred elite cavalrymen and General Wang Xi, and then dispatched more than a thousand soldiers to pursue and kill me at Wuguan!"

Zhao Long grinned, revealing his teeth: "I'm not exactly a kind person either!"

Xiao He's face turned deathly pale as he watched Zhao Long's departing figure.

In short, Zhao Long wanted to retaliate in kind.

They didn't even care about the future of the Qin army; all they wanted was to take revenge on Liu Bang.

The more miserable Liu Bang was, the more comfortable Zhao Long felt.

A ruthless person who holds a grudge and seeks revenge!

Thinking about it carefully, isn't that the Qin army's character?

Those who had offended the Qin state over the centuries were ultimately wiped out by the First Emperor.

What the Qin state needs are ruthless people!

"Lord Xiao, please try to calm this brute down first, otherwise, Lord Xiao may only see his head in the future."

At this moment, Zhang Ping walked over and pointed at Guan Ying.

Xiao He remained silent for a moment, his face ashen, feeling an unspeakable pressure pressing on his chest, making him feel suffocated.

He cast a long, deep glance in the direction Zhao Long had left, praying that Heaven would grant Liu Bang another stroke of luck.

"By the way, may I ask who the Qin general guarding the shore is?" Xiao He asked the Qin soldier next to him.

Xiao He and his men had already joined the Qin army, and the Qin army didn't hide anything from them. They greeted him with smiles, "General Han Xin."

Xiao He was so angry he almost fainted. Why did it have to be Han Xin, whom he knew?

A group of civil and military officials forced away by the King of Han ultimately led to the collapse of the 100,000-strong Han army.

Han Xin had now recognized Liu Bang.

When he discovered that Liu Bang had led his men out to meet him, he turned and rushed into the deep mountains and forests. Han Xin immediately gave chase.

"The King of Han! It's actually the King of Han!"

The ancient Qinling Mountains stretch endlessly, and moonlight spills over the South River Beach, where a black torrent rushes into the forest, chasing after its prey that is fleeing in disarray.
