As the mountain stronghold moved, Yang Cheng inquired in detail with Zhang Liang about the current situation of the Qin state, mainly regarding its military strength.
Unfortunately, Zhang Liang was unaware of this.
Because the Qin state of today is no longer the same as the Qin state of the past. With the Imperial Observatory in place, heaven knows what kind of monster Xu Fu has created.
Previously, the Qin state only had the Black Dragon Cavalry and some standing troops, but now there are many unexpected things in Xianyang.
For example, the strange events involving Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the first appearance of the demon from Mount Li, were absolutely terrifying.
Then there's Zhao Xieqi, whose demonic flesh and blood mechanisms are making their first appearance, making him even more terrifying.
The reason these resistance groups haven't dared to openly attack and seize territory lately is because they're certain that Qin still has something else up its sleeve.
In addition to these, the other generals of the Qin Dynasty were also quite powerful.
They led their large army on a tour of the world, partly to suppress local rebellions and partly to collect all sorts of strange things for Xu Fu's Imperial Observatory.
For example, their practice of collecting girls born on yin days and yin hours has led to the destruction of many families and even the alteration of their own family members' birth dates and times.
They needed a lot of human skin, so they started skinning the convicts and criminals. If they didn't have enough convicts and criminals, they would randomly kill and skin the people in an entire village as traitors.
Zhang Liang is currently leading his people in resistance against these very things.
Although he couldn't save everyone, he could at least save some people this way.
"Xu Fu".
Yang Cheng squinted and began to ponder.
It seems that the greatest distortion in history began with Xu Fu.
I wonder if the legacy of the True Lord of Qingyuan Daomiao is in Xu Fu's hands.
"Now, everything in the Qin Dynasty can be said to have been caused by Xu Fu. Haven't you ever thought about assassinating Xu Fu?"
I think assassinating Xu Fu would be even more useful than assassinating the First Emperor.
Zhang Liang smiled wryly and said, "Of course I've thought about it. In fact, quite a few people have gone to the Imperial Observatory to assassinate Xu Fu."
The result was that there was no news at all; they disappeared completely.
At least if you went to the palace to assassinate the First Emperor, you'd at least hear a sound and know who killed you.
Going to the Imperial Observatory to assassinate Xu Fu was a one-way trip with no chance of return; even their fate was uncertain.
Therefore, by now, no one dares to assassinate Xu Fu.
Just then, a bird's call suddenly came from mid-air.
A small bird suddenly landed on Zhang Liang's shoulder. Yang Cheng took a closer look and realized that it was actually a wooden bird, but it was lifelike. Its eyes seemed to be carved from some kind of gemstone and were covered with various strange runes.
Zhang Liang said, "This is a mechanical bird of the Mohist school. I have a mark given to me by the Mohists, so I can use it to transmit messages."
As he spoke, Zhang Liang tapped the mechanical bird's head twice rhythmically, and the mechanical bird immediately spat out a bamboo slip.
Upon seeing the text on the bamboo slips, Zhang Liang said, "Brother Yang, we don't need to look for other places for now. Xiong Wu, the leader of the anti-Qin alliance, has invited us to meet in Kuaiji County."
Yang Cheng asked, "Anti-Qin Alliance?"
Zhang Liang explained, "After Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Zhao Xie's uprising failed and they were killed, our organization, which was resisting the tyrannical Qin, went into hiding."
However, these organizations varied in size and sometimes needed to coordinate their actions, so they spontaneously formed an anti-Qin alliance.
The leader of the alliance, Xiong Wu, was a descendant of the royal family of Chu, said to be the grandson of King Huai of Chu. His status was the most noble, so he was elected as the leader of the alliance.
Furthermore, he also had the support of the Chu Wu Clan.
The Witch Clan is not one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, but the largest cultivation sect in the Chu region. They possess ancient witchcraft and ritual secrets and are very powerful.
When Qin destroyed the State of Chu, it was the Wumen who rescued a large number of the Chu royal family.
Today, the anti-Qin alliance has dozens of forces of varying sizes in various places. People like Liang would not normally be qualified to join the anti-Qin alliance, but because of his near-death experience in the assassination attempt on Qin, he was specially allowed to join.
The alliance rarely calls us up; if they do, it's definitely because something big is about to happen.
Therefore, we must immediately change our route to Kuaiji Commandery.
Yang Cheng nodded thoughtfully.
There was no such thing as an anti-Qin alliance in normal history.
When Xiang Liang launched his rebellion, he did support Xiong Xin as King Huai of Chu, but he was just a puppet and was later killed by Xiang Yu.
The current leader of the anti-Qin alliance, Xiong Wu, clearly wields immense power and is supported by cultivation forces.
I wonder if we'll see Xiang Yu in this anti-Qin alliance.
During a casual conversation with Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang mentioned that Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, the uncle and nephew, were indeed very famous among the anti-Qin forces in Chu, but he had not had much contact with them.
Now it seems that nobles are indeed nobles.
Ordinary people need to ride the wave of the times to rise up, while nobles will always have a place in any world.
The meeting was scheduled for a month later, and Yang Cheng and Zhang Liang were not in a hurry. They went directly to Wu County in Kuaiji Commandery a month later.
Wu County was the seat of Kuaiji Commandery and the core of the entire commandery. The governor's office was also located in Wu County.
As a result, the meeting of the anti-Qin alliance is now being held in Wu County, which shows how severely the Qin state's grassroots have been eroded.
Especially in the former Chu region, the people of Chu even proclaimed, "Even if Chu has only three households left, it will surely be Chu that destroys Qin."
However, this statement does not mean that even if only three households remained in the state of Chu, they would still destroy the state of Qin. These three households refer to the three clans of Qu, Jing, and Zhao.
