Yan Zhao was not one of Xiong Wu's men; everything he did was solely to resist the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, and he was even willing to disregard personal gain or loss for it.
Even if Qin hadn't attacked Yan, he would still have been willing to send troops to fight.
As Yan Zhao spoke, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu exchanged a glance, and Xiang Liang said in a deep voice: "There are no cowards among the men of Chu who fear death!"
The Xiang family's sons are ready to fight the tyrannical Qin to the death!
Although the Xiang family was at odds with Xiong Wu, the Chu region was also their base of operations.
In this matter, the Xiang family would naturally side with Xiong Wu.
"Only war can stop the fighting; if we keep retreating, the anti-Qin alliance will have no reason to exist."
A middle-aged man, barefoot and dressed in hemp clothing, with disheveled hair, spoke.
His face was expressionless, cold and rigid.
But everyone present turned their attention to him.
This person is Tian Chong, the master of the Mohist school, and a pivotal figure in the anti-Qin alliance.
The various means of communication, offensive and defensive mechanisms, and even armor and weapons used in the anti-Qin alliance were all created by the Mohists.
In the past, the Mohists built various war machines for the Qin state to defeat the six other states, pursue the unification of the world, and stop war through war.
However, along with the deterioration of the Qin state, the Mohist school also underwent a transformation and split. They chose to break away from the Qin state and join the anti-Qin alliance, gradually transferring what the Qin state once possessed to the anti-Qin alliance.
It can be said that everything needed by the anti-Qin forces is provided by the Mohists, so the Mohists hold a pivotal position in the anti-Qin alliance.
An elderly man with white hair and beard from the Hundred Schools of Thought nodded and said, "Master Tian Chong is right. To stop war with war, we must fight the first battle."
Today, the land of Chu is being swept away; everyone can take refuge.
Tomorrow, the Wei region will be swept away, so everyone can take cover.
After the Yan region is swept away, everyone still has the Qi and Han regions to choose from.
But the world is so vast, where can we hide? How can we hide forever?
This old man was Ji Shan, the patriarch of the Huang-Lao lineage. He held an extremely high position in the Huang-Lao lineage, and many talented people in the six kingdoms were his disciples or had heard him lecture.
The Huang-Lao school also held a significant position in the anti-Qin alliance.
Although they were not as numerous as the Confucianists, any one of them was a master.
The younger generation, like Zhang Liang, are all exceptionally talented individuals.
As the Mohists and Huang-Lao lineage spoke up, other schools of thought and major sects also voiced their support.
As long as the tyrannical Qin Dynasty existed, all the major schools and sects would live in constant fear.
Not to mention the sorcerer Xu Fu, whose oppression of various schools and sects was even more severe.
There is only one type of cultivator in Qin now: Xu Fu's lackeys.
No matter what school of thought you come from or what sect you belong to, if you want to develop within Qin, you can only become Xu Fu's lackey.
Seeing that most people in the room supported the rebellion against the tyrannical Qin, Tian Dan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I didn't expect everyone to have such a spirit. It seems that overthrowing the tyrannical Qin is just around the corner."
What I have in Qi is plenty of money.
I will cover all the military pay for this operation, and Qi will also contribute 20,000 troops to fight against the tyrannical Qin!
Although Tian Dan sent 20,000 men, which seems to be more than Yan Zhao's force.
But if Yan Zhao said it was 10,000 elite cavalry, then it must have been 10,000 elite cavalry.
The 20,000 men that Tian Dan mentioned were definitely not his trusted elite troops, but just ordinary soldiers.
Han Cheng quickly replied, "My Han region doesn't have many people, but we can still muster ten thousand."
Seeing these two change sides so quickly, Wei Bao cursed inwardly, then said, "Since everyone is ready to fight, let's fight the tyrannical Qin!"
I will bring 20,000 elite troops, half of whom are veterans who fought alongside King Chen Sheng in his uprising!
Wei Bao was also very decisive. Since he had to take action, he didn't need to be as hesitant as Tian Dan. He simply went all out to gain prestige for himself in the anti-Qin alliance.
In this way, the army that the entire anti-Qin alliance could muster was actually quite powerful.
In order to protect the Chu region, Xiong Wu and the Xiang family were able to muster 30,000 elite warriors and 60,000 ordinary soldiers.
Yan Zhao led 10,000 elite cavalry, Tian Dan led 20,000, Han Cheng led 10,000, and Wei Bao led 20,000 elite troops.
In this way, they could easily muster an army of 150,000 men.
Moreover, these 150,000 people were not ordinary civilians recruited by raising their arms during the uprising; they were soldiers secretly trained by the rebels.
Even if they lack experience and have never been on the battlefield, they are still better than those ordinary people who are as thin as bones.
Moreover, on the cultivators' side, people from the various schools of thought and major sects will also take action, so the force that the anti-Qin alliance can stop this time is actually far stronger than the force sent by the Qin state to sweep through the Chu region.
At this moment, Wei Bao suddenly said, "Right now, we are definitely enough to deal with the Qin state."
But what about dealing with the Lishan demon who has already infiltrated Yunmengze?
Didn't the alliance leader say before that Yang Cheng had the strength to kill Yang Xiong and single-handedly wipe out two hundred-man Black Dragon Rider teams?
These elite experts are perfect for dealing with the demons of Lishan. What does the Alliance Leader think?
Wei Bao may seem generous, but he is actually narrow-minded.
It wasn't Yang Cheng and Zhang Liang who embarrassed him just now; it was Xiong Wu who used Yang Cheng and Zhang Liang to embarrass him. However, Wei Bao clearly held a grudge against them as well.
Xiong Wu glanced at Yang Cheng and Zhang Liang, pondered for a moment, and asked them, "Brother Yang and Zifang, are you willing to take on this mission?"
