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

Back in his camp, Han Xin officially assembled his troops.

"Marquis of Zhenbei!"

There were countless meritorious generals of the Qin Dynasty present, but all of them looked at Han Xin with nothing but fervor.

Even Lü Matong was mobilized from the eastern region of Qin for this battle.

After greeting everyone, Han Xin solemnly announced, "His Majesty's decree."

Everyone immediately stood up straight.

"This campaign consists of 70,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry."

"The war will start simultaneously in four major regions: Hexi, Shuofang, Hetao, and Liaodong. The Marquis of Zhenbei will lead the army to be responsible for the battles in the Hetao and Shuofang regions!"

"In the Liaodong region, the Marquis of Zhendong is the commander-in-chief."

"In the Hexi region, the Marquis of Pingliang will be the commander-in-chief!"

"promise!"

Lu Matong stepped forward to answer, his eyes gleaming with intense light.

His reckless fighting back then resulted in heavy losses for the Qin army, and a single misstep caused him to miss the opportunity to conquer the world.

Despite his accumulated merits, he was still named one of the Five Tiger Generals of Qin!

Marquis of Zhendong!

Over the years, they have guarded the eastern region of the Qin Dynasty, nipping countless rebellions in the bud.

He longed even more for a grand war on the battlefield.

For no other reason than to prove that he deserves to be one of the Five Tiger Generals of Qin!

Han Xin nodded coldly and ordered Lü Matong to immediately lead his troops to make arrangements.

He knew that Lü Matong had been holding back some resentment all these years.

The other four marquises—Marquis of Zhenxi Zhang Cang, Marquis of Zhenwu Wang Ben, Marquis of Zhennan Li Xin, and Marquis of Zhenbei Han Xin—were either generals who had already achieved great success during the Qin Dynasty and then made further contributions during the reconstruction of the Qin Dynasty.

They are either people who have devoted countless efforts to this newborn empire.

Zhang Cang and Han Xin.

One a scholar, the other a warrior; they were truly the twin pillars of the empire.

However, Lü Matong is criticized by many people. Even though the Qin Dynasty was able to rise again with his contributions, some people still felt that Lü Matong was not worthy of such a high position in the later war to pacify the world.

"Your Majesty is merciful."

Han Xin muttered to himself, not only to appease the Marquis of Zhenbei, but also to personally officiate the marriage between Princess Handan and him.

They are now also trying to appease Lü Matong.

The tribes that moved northeast from Liaodong were originally remote tribes of the Xiongnu. Although they nominally belonged to the Xiongnu, in reality, each tribe had long been fighting its own battles.

This is Lü Matong's chance to prove himself!

"For the Great Qin!"

Han Xin looked at the others and shouted loudly. The blood energy gathered by everyone seemed to break through the cold winter earth!

……

To Han Xin's surprise, just as he was assembling a large army and preparing to march north from the Hetao region, the Xiongnu envoy arrived first.

"The Xiongnu sent ten Xiongnu princesses, willing to make peace with Qin through marriage, to submit to Qin's surrender document for generations, and to become Qin's vassal in perpetuity. We hope to give them a chance to survive."

"We will arrive in Wuyuan in ten days."

After Cai Yin reported this, everyone couldn't help but laugh: "When did the Xiongnu ever become a vassal of the Qin Dynasty?"

"If they were truly sincere, why would they send people to Chang'an to sabotage the Qin Dynasty's tenth anniversary celebration?"

"Could it be that the marriage alliance is a pretense, and their true intention is to take the opportunity to attack Qin?"

"..."

In just a few words, the group thoroughly analyzed the Xiongnu's plan.

These top generals who followed the rise of the Qin Dynasty were themselves outstanding talents and were heroes of the era.

In addition, the emperor set a quota for officers to study Qin studies at the Qin Military Academy, where they could learn more advanced combat methods.

These famous generals all possessed vision far ahead of their time.

The Xiongnu's plans were generally easy to see at a glance.

"That's right. The Xiongnu are openly making peace with the Qin Dynasty through marriage, but they will likely be attacking other parts of the Qin Dynasty in secret, not us!"

Everyone had absolute confidence.

They were also known as the Zhenbei Army!

They were all fierce and ruthless troops.

The Xiongnu could not possibly attack them.

"Since the Xiongnu dare to forget the pain of past wounds, their initiative to attack Qin this time must be for something big!"

"They probably won't attack the Hetao region first, or send a small number of soldiers to attack it. The Xiongnu's real target should be to launch simultaneous attacks on the other two regions."

"After the first five-year plan of the Qin Dynasty, the Hexi region gradually became prosperous, and the Xiongnu people must have been envious."

"The attack on the Liaodong region is probably aimed at moving south to the Liaodong Governor's Office, where there are a large number of Xiongnu construction corps and a lot of mineral resources that the Xiongnu urgently need."

Han Xin smiled. After several years of training, the Qin Dynasty had gathered a wealth of heroes.

"Distribute the intelligence."

"Let's go and meet the Huns!"

……

In the eleventh year of the reign of Qin Si Shi, in the fifth month.

Han Xin assembled 140,000 troops to guard the north, marching north from areas such as Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Dai, crossing Yangshan Mountain to welcome the Xiongnu's southward-bound army for a marriage alliance.

When the 10,000 Xiongnu people escorting the bride saw the Qin army's battle formation, they were all dumbfounded.

"Wasn't it said that the Qin army wouldn't be on any guard when the marriage alliance came?"

"What's this!"

Between heaven and earth, the Qin army stretched as far as the eye could see, densely packed and seemingly endless!

"What to do now?"

"Since we're already here, let's attack!"

The Xiongnu had no other choice but to continue their offensive.

The two sides clashed in the desolate highlands.

These Huns became a complete lament.

"A field charge? You dare to fight against Qin?"

As the chariots roared and thunder roared, the Hunnic battle formation was thrown into chaos.

Immediately, Qin cavalry circled around from all sides, surrounding the 10,000 Xiongnu.

In less than five days, all the Xiongnu people were beheaded!

Subsequently, Han Xin led his army northward, and in early August, they crossed Yangshan and marched into the central Xiongnu territory.

They swept through the surrounding tribes of the Xiongnu.

Immediately afterwards, he led his army toward the Xiongnu royal court.

The Xiongnu royal court is now located in the Jiankun region in the far north.

When the Qin army reached the outskirts of the royal court, the Xiongnu Chanyu finally realized the terror of the Qin army.

broken!

Chen Mai's actions, once discovered by the Qin army, inevitably provoked them.

Therefore, the Xiongnu Chanyu betrayed Chenmai without hesitation.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he led a small group of soldiers and fled westward.

In October, as winter approached, Lü Matong led his army all the way to the Lena River, where he completely annihilated the main force of the Dingling barbarians, numbering over three thousand.

In November, in the Hexi Corridor, Marquis Wang Zhou of Pingliang defeated the western tribes of the Xiongnu, killing more than 20,000 Xiongnu in one battle.

The remnants of the Xiongnu were swept into the dustbin of history by the Qin army in less than half a year.

After the war against the Xiongnu ended.

The emperor announced that the Qin Dynasty would hold a victory parade, allowing all Qin soldiers who participated in the war to tour the country.

The nobles within the Qin Dynasty were utterly shocked as they looked at the Qin warriors adorned with honors and medals. They realized that this was an unprecedented super empire.

Under the torrent of the times, human beings are no longer able to put up any resistance.

Many of the empire's new policies began to be implemented at this time.

The empire is thriving.

At this time, the emperor received an elderly man from the West.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor."

When he met the Emperor of Qin, his heartfelt reverence was as if he had seen a god.

The emperor smiled and said, "Do you crave power?"

The old man joined the Qin Military Academy that very day, and six months later, with a wealth of knowledge and the support of the Qin Dynasty, he set off westward.

"A magical country in the East".

When the old man returned to the Great Xia Dynasty, he still found it unbelievable.

Unexpectedly, after being disheartened and in despair, he accidentally traveled to Seleucus and was sent to the Qin Dynasty, where he encountered the most magical country in the world.

His eyes flashed with overwhelming killing intent: "Rome, I'm back."

Tremble, Rome!

His name was Hannibal Barca.

He is one of the four most famous generals in Western world history.

The Qin emperor gave him all the support he wanted, hoping he would return to continue fighting against Rome.

"I hope you like the gift from Great Qin, Rome."

The emperor couldn't help but smile as he thought about what Hannibal would do when he returned.

From this point on, Rome will be engulfed in war.

And the rest of the world.

After the Qin army fought against the Xiongnu, there were no more external enemies around them.

According to the established plan, maintain a standing army of 300,000.

The remaining Qin soldiers were free to choose to follow various pioneering groups to explore different regions.

In the sixteenth year of Qin Si Shi's reign, the Qin army's southern expansionist group traveled thousands of miles along the land and entered the Rinan region.

In the nineteenth year of the reign of Qin Si Shi, the Qin emperor, at the height of his power, announced that the crown prince would oversee the state, thus beginning a new chapter for the world.

In the twenty-second year of Qin Si Shi's reign, after the crown prince had served as regent for three years, Qin Si Shi formally abdicated, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, becoming Qin Wu Shi.

Qin Wu Shi, with Chao Cuo and others at the core, built his own prime minister's office, and the empire began to enter a golden age of development.

The fourth emperor, along with his wives and many veteran officials of the Qin Dynasty, traveled to the Xia region to witness the wonders of the world.

In the eighth year of the reign of Qin Wu Shi, the Qin Anxi Expeditionary Group explored southeastward along the route of the Peacock Mountain and eventually successfully joined forces with the Southern Expeditionary Group.

The representatives of the two pioneering groups, Tang Li and Chai Wu, divided up the land that their respective central authorities had not yet planned.

At the same time, Shi Fen, the newly appointed Grand Commander of Anxi, invaded the eastern region of Seleucid territory, frightening Seleucids into sending twelve letters of surrender in succession.

The entire West has been embroiled in endless wars for years and has become utterly corrupt.

Rome was in complete chaos.

Seleucus knew he was isolated and helpless, and three years later he was completely devoured by Shi Fen.

Zhao Long, along with his wives, also established a small kingdom in the name of Zhang Cang's son.

In the tenth year of the reign of Qin Wu Shi, the imperial navy had developed to an extremely powerful level, and Wang Ling personally led the army to the new continent that the previous emperor had spoken of.

He then discovered that this place already possessed a form of civilization, somewhat resembling the Goubuli Kingdom that he had once destroyed.

"Good heavens, Wei Man and the others actually ran this far?"

"However, it belongs to the Great Qin now!"

In the seventeenth year of the reign of Qin Wu Shi, the Qin expeditionary force entered the Roman region and began to implement Qin language education.

Speak the Qin language, be a Qin person.

The world thus began a new chapter.

Meanwhile, the fourth emperor, Zhao Long, returned to the Qin Dynasty.

The emperor, who is over sixty years old, has maintained his health well over the years.

Returning to the Qin Dynasty, I discovered that many of my old ideas had already begun to come true.

"Let the whole world speak the Qin language..."

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Qin Wu Shi, on the fortieth anniversary of the restoration of the empire, the Great Qin once again held a grand celebration.

The wars and suffering of the past are now completely behind us.

People stared almost frantically at the statues of the 108 heroes of the Star Pavilion, who had been introduced earlier. Even though many of them were no longer alive, they would live forever in the hearts of the people of the empire.

This is an unprecedented super empire!

……

After the celebration, the emperor went alone to Liu Bang's tomb outside Pengcheng, without taking anyone with him.

Over the years, the former Han officials have long lost any sentimentality and have completely integrated into the Qin Dynasty.

At most, Xiao He would come and offer two sticks of incense.

Liu Bang's tomb is neglected and in a dilapidated state.

Today was a beautiful and sunny day. The emperor was in a good mood and helped with the preparations. In the end, he laid out fine wine, but did not pour a single drop for Liu Bang.

The emperor spoke for a long time, and as the sun set, he saw a familiar figure arrive.

The ladies were worried and came to check on the old man.

Zhao Long smiled and left Liu Bang with only one last sentence.

"If you could do it all over again, would you still choose to drive me away?"
