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

After Lu Jia finished speaking, he found that many of the Chu army's civil and military officials were still looking at him as if he were a joke, and remained unmoved!

Lu Jia also felt a surge of anger.

These Chu soldiers are all brainless.

He had already made his point so clear, yet no one reacted at all.

The Qin army had brilliant strategies and a brilliant strategist who used utterly shameless methods to make them incredibly ruthless!

Aren't you afraid that Qin will grow stronger again and attack the Chu army?

Fan Zeng frowned and said, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

He hadn't expected that Lu Jia's situation was essentially the same as Lü Matong's.

Lu Matong's eyes widened, and a storm raged within him.

It’s so thrilling!

If Zhao Long hadn't said that he should have proactively revealed some information about the Qin army, he wouldn't have needed to conceal his identity.

I'm afraid Xiang Yu has already gone mad.

He disliked disobedient underlings the most, and he disliked anyone who disobeyed his orders or broke free from his control.

Now that Zhao Long has taken the initiative to tell everything, it has deepened Lü Matong's trust in Xiang Yu.

Even Fan Zeng's gaze towards Lü Matong no longer held such suspicion.

Lu Jia, somewhat bewildered, spoke up: "That's the Qin army. They have brilliant strategies and can train powerful elite troops. The Qin army has risen again. I beg you, Overlord, to uphold justice for the Han army!"

What more do you want him to say?

If the Qin army were to rise again, could there be anything more serious than this?

This time, the Chu general could no longer contain himself and burst into laughter: "Hahaha—"

Is Liu Bang really in this situation now?

Where is the courage that once blocked them outside Hangu Pass?

"I already know about this matter. Where is the King of Han now?"

Lu Jia felt utterly disheartened by the attitude of the Chu army, and even wondered if Xiang Yu had secretly given full support to Zhang Han in destroying the Han army.

They were not fighting against Zhang Han, but against Xiang Yu's elite civil and military officers.

Lu Jia sighed inwardly and said, "His Majesty is on his way to Han..."

Xiang Yu waved his hand, dismissing Lu Jia. The truth had now come out, and it was pretty much as Lü Matong had said.

However, given Liu Bang's miserable state, it seemed the Qin army was stronger than he had imagined, and Xiang Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with his previous decision.

After thinking for a moment, Zhongli Mei said, "Your Majesty, Liu Bang suffered such a crushing defeat that he must harbor resentment towards the Qin people."

Xiang Yu glanced at the assembled officials and said disdainfully, "Well then, in the war to destroy Qin, King Han Cheng has not made any contribution and is not suitable to be King Han!"

"Zheng Chang, go to Korea and be king."

"You choose someone yourself to be the prime minister of Han, and stop Qin from expanding eastward."

Zheng Chang was formerly the magistrate of Wu County. He followed Xiang Yu in raising an army and was a high-ranking member among the eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers. He had made great contributions and was prudent in his methods, so it would be perfect for him to govern the state of Han.

Fan Zeng merely frowned at this. After all, the time for bestowing titles of kings had already passed, and now the feudal lords were each bestowing their own titles. Xiang Yu's flip-flopping, revoking your title of king so easily, would make people feel disheartened and wary.

However, sending General Zheng Chang to South Korea is indeed very appropriate.

With the State of Wei in the north and the State of Han in the south, they posed a threat to the State of Qin, one in the north and one in the south.

Fan Zeng thought for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, Commandant Chen Ping is known for his excellent strategies and talent in governing the country. He should be appointed as the Chancellor of Han!"

Xiang Yu agreed, and Zheng Chang had no objections, since he had already been made a king!

Finally, what should be done with Liu Bang?

At this moment, Fan Zeng clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, didn't Liu Bang ask you to make a decision for him? If that's the case, let him stay in Han. Grant him some troops, and Rang County in Nanyang would be a good choice."

In the past, Liu Bang marched north from Nanyang to Wuguan and defeated the Qin army.

Zhang Han definitely needs to be suppressed now, and Liu Bang can just block the Qin army's southward advance.

This time, Zheng Chang had something to say, but he dared not say it.

"Okay, that's it!"

A murderous glint flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes: "Gather the troops and march north!"

……

"asshole!"

"How arrogant is the Chu army? They completely disregard the Qin army's resurgence?"

Lu Jia left the Overlord's Mansion and that very night received news that Liu Bang was allowed to recruit another 3,000 soldiers to garrison Nanyang.

Then there was no further comment.

Lu Jia did not forget Liu Bang's orders, and that very night he secretly went to find Xiang Bo.

This was Zhang Liang's sworn brother; several times before, it was thanks to Xiang Bo that the Han army was able to be brought back from the brink of defeat.

Lu Jia couldn't understand it more and more; the attitude of the Chu army's civil and military officials was simply too strange.

After visiting Xiang Bo, he was completely distraught on his way out.

"My lord, what has happened? Has Lord Xiang said anything about helping us?"

The guards were all Liu Bang's confidants, and upon seeing Lu Jia, they anxiously inquired about his whereabouts.

Lu Jia remained unmoved until he reached his residence, his eyes bloodshot, his fists clenched, and his whole body trembling.

The guard couldn't hold back any longer: "Sir, please say something..."

Even Lu Jia was on the verge of tears, saying, "We're too late. The news of the Qin's great victory in Hanzhong has already been sent to Xiang Yu!"

The guard's face darkened: "Our Han army is in dire straits, and the Qin people are poised for a comeback. Did Xiang Yu know this beforehand and then do nothing about it?"

The guards all knew that the most important thing about going to Xiang Yu's side this time was to gain Xiang Yu's support, to let Xiang Yu see the true face of the Qin army, and ideally, for Xiang Yu to take the initiative to deal with Zhang Han.

In this way, the Han army will have a chance to rise again from the gaps.

Lu Jia was on the verge of tears when he slowly shook his head and sighed, "The most outstanding person in the Qin army is Zhao Long."

With just one sentence, the guards' pupils shrank sharply. As Liu Bang's confidants, they naturally followed his values.

He harbored deep resentment towards Zhao Long, but he also recognized Zhao Long's talent to some extent.

The guards were also cursing angrily: "That damned traitor!"

"So they really are Xiang Yu's men, staying in Guanzhong to fight against the Han army for Xiang Yu's sake?"

"Those who betray their master are hateful!"

This is what truly broke Lu Jia down. As Liu Bang's guest, he advised the Han army and assisted in managing the army. This was the easiest way for him to feel the huge changes in the Han camp after Zhao Long left the Han army!

"The strategist general did not act on Xiang Yu's orders; he remained in the Qin army solely to take revenge on the King of Han."

He didn't really believe that Zhao Long was one of Xiang Yu's men. Xiang Bo had no connection with him and didn't say much to him, only telling him that Lü Matong had come with gifts from Zhao Long, taking the initiative to make amends.

Now that things have come to this, Xiang Bo has no reason to deceive him.

Therefore, Zhao Long was not Xiang Yu's spy at all.

Zhao Long was personally driven away and hunted down by Liu Bang.

It was Liu Bang who personally pushed Zhao Long into the Qin army!

Lu Jia recalled the hardships the Han army endured after entering Guanzhong, culminating in the complete annihilation of their 100,000-strong army. What on earth had happened?

After a long sigh, Lu Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Xiang Yu is currently preoccupied with the chaos in the northern state of Qi and doesn't want to take action against Zhang Han for the time being. There's no point in us staying. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning!"

He had to bring news of Zhao Long's presence in the Qin army back to Liu Bang as soon as possible.

Zhao Long harbors resentment towards the King of Han and will surely strike again.

He now understood why the Han army had suffered such a crushing defeat—it was because they had lost to him.

Hopefully, Liu Bang can handle this news!

As he was thinking this, Lü Matong had already gathered several trusted confidants.

"Send men to keep a close eye on Lu Jia. If he leaves Pengcheng, capture him immediately and bring him back to Guanzhong."
