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

Lu Matong's expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Chen Ping said that the Han and Wei armies would soon attack Guanzhong, and Guanzhong would definitely change drastically. He told me to find an opportunity myself at that time."

"If Yong Kingdom cannot hold on first, then let me help Yong Kingdom first."

"If the Wei army can't hold out, I will secretly sabotage the Yong army."

"He even said he wanted to throw Guanzhong into chaos for a while, and that I should find a way to persuade the Supreme General to teach the three families of Chu a lesson!"

Lu Matong then took out the letter directly.

He was already completely devoted to the Qin people, so he was naturally very shocked when he received this letter and immediately ran to report to Zhao Long.

After Zhao Long finished reading it, he handed it to Zhang Han, and soon after, a roar from Zhang Han was heard.

"That brat Chen Ping, how dare he secretly plot to obstruct Qin's grand plan for revival?"

"And what does he mean by this? Does he want to use the Qin state as a tool to help Xiang Yu eliminate his enemies?"

Zhang Han was furious. On the surface, Xiang Yu had already temporarily ignored the affairs of Guanzhong, but Chen Ping, the prime minister of Han, had actually begun to secretly orchestrate a massive network to deal with Guanzhong!

Yang Duan and the others sighed.

Just as Zhao Long had predicted, once the Qin army showed any signs of gaining momentum, many people became restless.

They would fear that Qin would once again become the powerful state it once was, and they would be furious that Qin, their defeated and destroyed adversary, would rise again right under their noses.

Yang Duanhe's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Before the Qin state is established, there is still a tough battle ahead."

If the enemy comes, let him come. This is no longer the era of the Second Emperor, but an era in which the emperor and his ministers are of one mind, working together for the resurgence of Qin.

It is a Qin Dynasty that has already undergone a phoenix-like rebirth, and is just one step away from being truly reborn from the ashes!

Zhao Long also narrowed his eyes. Ever since he heard that Chen Ping was the prime minister of Han, he had already prepared himself mentally for the fact that Qin would face some difficulties if it wanted to completely dominate Guanzhong.

Chen Ping, the foremost schemer at the end of the Qin Dynasty, was naturally not as arrogant as Xiang Yu, who sat idly by and watched Guanzhong grow stronger.

He must have been able to imagine what the victory at Hanzhong meant for the old Qin people in Guanzhong.

He never expected that Chen Ping would bring him such a huge surprise so quickly.

Zhao Long remained silent for a moment before sneering, "It seems that the sudden surge in grain prices among the various noble families is also related to Chen Ping!"

"These three families must be insatiable, and Xiang Yu's side is already starting to get dissatisfied."

"This person wants to use us to teach these three families a lesson."

Zhao Long sneered. With this letter, it wasn't hard to guess Chen Ping's plan.

The three households of Chu were people who used to disregard the King of Chu. Now they also ignored Zhang Han's rise and were naturally not satisfied with Xiang Yu's strength.

Even though Xiang Yu did not attack, a huge vortex has already emerged in Guanzhong.

Zhang Han frowned and said, "Then, what should we do now?"

Zhao Long sneered. Chen Ping's conspiracy was still something that Qin had to do.

However, even the wisest person can make a mistake!

Chen Ping was unaware that Lü Matong had already secretly submitted to the Qin Dynasty, thus exposing his conspiracy to the Qin army's civil and military officials.

Moreover, Chen Ping made some misjudgments about the strength of the Qin state.

They wanted to use the Qin state to smooth out the rough edges of the three families in the Chu state.

That's only because Zhang Han doesn't dare to fight Xiang Yu head-on yet, so he holds back his strength and doesn't risk his life against these nobles.

But the Qin Dynasty now has an army of 50,000 and is determined to unify the Three Qin regions, re-establish its dominance in Guanzhong, and build a brand new Qin Dynasty.

Anything that stands in this way will be reduced to ashes!

Let alone the three families of Chu, even if Wei Bao were to launch a full-scale attack now, the Qin army would still fight to the death!

"Chen Ping has already sent over these people's heads; how could the Qin state refuse to accept them?"

"Tell them that the Yong Kingdom wants to discuss grain prices with them, and let them find a place to talk!"

"If you refuse again this time, you will bear the consequences."

"Go tell Han Xin to stop with the dry training and start real combat training this time. After he gets the negotiation locations provided by each party, he should immediately lead his troops to attack!"

Many Qin generals were also filled with murderous intent, and instantly understood Zhao Long's meaning.

If previous meetings with them allowed for some discussion and dialogue, this time it's an ultimatum.

Those who obey will prosper, those who defy will perish; in Guanzhong, only one voice is needed.

Their insatiable greed and repeated destruction of Guanzhong and creation of chaos have completely exhausted the Qin army's last bit of patience!

If you don't want to have a proper talk, then let's lay our cards on the table!

……

This time, Zhang Han's order was extremely forceful, and even in territories not currently under the control of Yong State, the various nobles still gathered in anger.

Finally, it was decided that the meeting would be held at Hongmen.

The news quickly reached Zhao Long's side, and Zhang Han immediately sneered: "Good heavens, they're planning to replicate Xiang Yu's Feast at Hongmen."

"Xiang Yu didn't kill Liu Bang. Are these traitors insatiable? Not content with just making money, they dare to directly attack the Qin army?"

With a cold look in his eyes, Zhao Long took out a secret letter from the Black Ice Platform. After Zhang Han finished reading it, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was very shocked.

"These nobles, taking advantage of the low grain prices, have begun recruiting soldiers and buying horses in various places?"

Zhao Long said in a deep voice, "This should also be Chen Ping's plan, which is to make Guanzhong even more chaotic and keep us busy!"

"After these nobles rise up in rebellion and cause chaos, Liu Bang and Wei Bao should be coming to kill us soon."

"He probably wanted to keep Guanzhong in chaos for a long time, so that Xiang Yu could deal with Qi and then he could free up his hands."

"Before that, he wanted to use the Supreme General as a tool to weaken the power of all forces inside and outside Hangu Pass."

Chen Ping's scheme was not hard to guess. With Liu Bang's ambition and the turmoil in Qi, Xiang Yu's group had also begun to be wary of the feudal lords of the world.

With a cunning strategist like Chen Ping at the helm, and as the actual operator, Chen Ping set his sights on the knife in Guanzhong, intending to create a large-scale chaos.

The weakening of the feudal lords was, in effect, a strengthening of Xiang Yu.

To be honest, if it were a small country like Yongguo in the same international situation, Chen Ping's conspiracy would definitely have succeeded.

A small country that has just recovered from defeat is weak and powerless. If it does not want to completely offend the world, it must compromise and make concessions in order to buy time for development.

However, this is the Qin army, a nation that has been dormant for years, where countless people yearn for bloodshed and to gain more military merits!

If Zhao Long were to describe it, under the Qin Dynasty's system of awarding titles based on military merit, this was a country controlled by an army.

For centuries, the people of Qin have struggled to expand eastward!

With the newly established Qin dynasty, Zhao Long naturally began to separate military and political affairs, but the pride and passion of the Qin people remained.

The common goal of all civil and military officials remains the same: more military achievements, more land, and to make this world known as Great Qin!

When the enemy's sword is raised again, what the Qin army needs to do is to swing their swords forward without hesitation.

By the time they received the news from various sources, Han Xin's cavalry had already assembled.

Zhao Long squinted at Han Xin: "General Han, I want to eat fish!"
