Chu territory.
Liu Bang escaped from a path recommended by his "brotherhood" and found a place where he felt a strong sense of palpitations.
"Can this thing from my brother still be used this way?"
Liu Bang looked at the small wooden board before him and couldn't help but be surprised:
"Can this thing allow me to communicate with my brother from a distance?"
[Brother, I am here, and I have escaped.]
[By the way, brother, what's the situation over there? Have you managed to escape?]
[Oh, yeah, if you can safely come to me, it's definitely because you have escaped.]
[Where is the big brother now? Has Qin Wang escaped?]
...
Zhaoanquan looked at the phone screen and said, "Liu Bang has escaped, that's good enough."
Liu Bang's escape means that his layout in the Han Dynasty has been arranged in place:
Otherwise, if Liu Bang were killed, it would truly be a big scandal...
"What's really going on?"
Zhaoanquan felt a bit puzzled, what's going on?
He opened his computer to search and found no historical records related to the matter.
"Could it be that these historical records were destroyed during the quarrel between the Qin and Han factions of the Chu and Han kingdoms?"
Zhaoanquan thought it was highly likely.
On the table, the original version of "Records of the Grand Historian" shone.
"Get out of here, you filthy book, don't provoke your big dam."
"Shen Bian isn't a deity who can traverse past and present. How could he record parts that have been omitted from historical records?"
It seems to have noticed Zhaoanquan's confusion, and an introduction to "Records of the Grand Historian" automatically appeared in the small mirror:
["Unedited version of 'Records of the Grand Historian', automatically supplements the parts that Shen Bian did not record for its owner."]
[If the owner wishes to learn more history, they may try to verify the information.]
Zhaoanquan looked at the bamboo slips of "Records of the Grand Historian" in his hand and tried to flip through it, quickly finding:
[Chaos of Chu Dynasty]
"Chaos of the Zhao of Chu?"
"What is this?"
[The "Chaos of the Zhao of Chu" refers to a period of chaos that occurred when the Qin Dynasty granted the Zhao clan, originally from Chu, land in Chu's former territory, causing dissatisfaction and conflict within Chu.]
[The Chu King thus sent troops to attack Qin, and a Qin guest official opposed, stating that the Chu King should not act without honor.]
[The Chu King laughed and said, "I am a barbarian, what are these matters of martial virtue and ceremony?", taking advantage of a tribal meeting to try to kill the Qin King.]
[Unexpectedly, the Qin King was prepared and soundly defeated Chu.]
"Difficult to bear."
Seeing these words, Zhaoanquan also felt a bit amused:
There was indeed a precedent in the history of Chu where they violated etiquette by declaring war and then claimed, "I am a barbarian" before defeating the other side.
It is estimated that this Chu King wanted to follow the precedents of his ancestors, but he did not expect to be defeated so badly by Qin...
On the board, Liu Bang left a message for him:
[Brother, I'm leaving first, okay?]
[With this piece of wood, it should be possible to keep in contact with the big brother at any time.]
[There's not much I can give to the big brother, but here is the short knife I usually use for self-defense. Brother, you take it and use it.]
[Your name is well-known, and it's not safe for you to be seen in public now.]
On the table, a small, antique-colored knife appeared in front of Zhaoanquan.
"What is this?"
Zhaoanquan picked up the small knife and played with it for a moment.
He has many ancient treasures in his hands...
"Does this thing have any use?"
The game system quickly provided an explanation:
[Liu Bang's small knife]
[Explanation: Liu Bang's usual small knife, which looks useless.]
"Not useful? Then let's keep it as a souvenir."
Just as a souvenir of visiting the pre-Qin period, here we go.
Zhaoanquan transformed the short knife into a pendant using the previous method and placed it in the pendant bag.
"Never mind, let's continue with the game."
He picked up his phone, where the final settlement was being made:
[Chaos of the Zhao of Chu incident (also known as the Jianling event)]
[Rating: A+]
[Due to the unification process this time,]
[Award: +3 level-ups for Zhaomen Martial Arts]
"Zhaomen martial arts points?"
"As for Zhaomen martial arts, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet."
However, for the time being, there's no time for it.
Zhaoanquan looked at his phone and knew that the unification of the Great Qin was about to begin:
"The time is almost up..."
[In the 230th year before the Qin Dynasty, Chu was dissatisfied with Qin's only grant of land to Zhao zi in Chu's former territory, and during the tribal gathering of Zhao zi's lineage, Chu sent troops to attack Qin and attempted to kill the Qin King.]
[The Qin King was forewarned and defeated them, with Chu compensating with an additional three thousand miles of fertile land.]
[From then on, the Qin King fully realized that if they did not unite at this time, they would have to wait for others to unite themselves.]
[After consultation with Li Si, he decided to give full rein to Wang Jian and Meng Tan, adopting a strategy of distant alliance and near attack, starting to sweep through the six feudal states.]
[From then on, the Qin King launched a major military campaign, beginning the process of unification from the west to the east of the nine states.]
[The Qin King solidified the military merit-based system centered on the "Twenty Rank System," clearing up the rewards and benefits of fighting on the battlefield.]
[The Qin military morale soared, with every soldier fighting for their own future and prospects.]
[In the 230th year before the Common Era, the iron cavalry of the Qin state first broke through the borders of Han.]
[The Qin army stormed the new capital of Han, Xinzheng, at lightning speed.]
[Han did not resist and repeatedly conceded land, thinking that they could still solve their problems through land concessions.]
[Only when the Qin soldiers broke through their gates did they realize the consequences of their appeasement policy.]
[Han An never expected that the King Zheng of Qin would actually break through their country's doors like this.]
[One of the seven great states of the Warring States Period, Han, has been conquered.]
[The ancient text "On the Defeat of Qin" once said:]
[Qin obtains territory through conquest, both small and large.]
[...]
[Therefore, what Qin greatly desires, and what the feudal states greatly fear, does not lie in war.]
[Afterwards, the attention of the Qin army turned towards the state of Zhao.]
[In the 229th year before the Qin Dynasty, General Wang Jian led the Qin army northward, crossing the Taihang Mountains, directly threatening the capital of Zhao, Handan.]
[At this moment, General Wang Jian was a renowned general of the Warring States period, and his personal abilities were at their peak.]
[However, Zhao was also a strong state and was not inferior to other powers.]
[Zhao's general Li Mu led the troops to meet the Qin army, and a fierce battle broke out at Yian.]
[The Zhao army was defeated by the Qin army, but Zhao also suffered heavy losses.]
[In later history, it is said, "Zhao fought five battles with Qin, lost twice and won three. After that, Qin attacked Zhao twice, but Li Mu repelled them all."]
[But.]
[Qin Zhao adopted a counterintelligence plan from Zhao Gao to sow discord between Li Mu and the King of Zhao.]
[The King of Zhao was already worried that Li Mu held too much power and influence in the army, so he killed Li Mu after hearing the counterintelligence plan.]
[After Li Mu's death, the Zhao soldiers began to doubt themselves, and at the same time, news of the Qin Dynasty's "military merit rank system" reached their ears.]
[In Qin, if you fight in battle and lead an army in charge, you have the opportunity to become a marquis.]
[In Zhao, your efforts will only lead to suspicion.]
[More and more people began to desert the Zhao state and defect to Qin.]
[The King of Zhao had a lucky mentality and believed that as long as he conceded land and made compensation, perhaps King Zheng of Qin would give him peace.]
["Until Li Mu was executed for betrayal, Handan became a prefecture, but it's a pity that his martial prowess was not fully realized."]
[General Wang Jian led his troops again, with the soldiers who had won military honors and ranks leading the way. They broke through the palace of the King of Zhao.]
