Upon hearing Xiang Yu mention him, Yang Cheng stood up, smiled, and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Brother Xiang. However, I only have a few thousand men. Although we have killed Ying Tao, we still need you all to truly win this battle."

I believe Alliance Leader Xiong Wu will give us a proper explanation as to how the credit should be distributed.
Yang Cheng had little interest in the Qin prisoners, but he wouldn't pass on the credit that was rightfully his; he could just hand it all over to Zhang Liang in the end anyway.
His words were also a warning to Xiong Wu, telling him not to think of himself as an idiot.
Just because I don't compete doesn't mean they can easily fool me.
As soon as Yang Cheng spoke, everyone present turned their attention to him.
If Yang Cheng was previously an unknown figure, today he has become famous overnight.
With only a few thousand men, they launched a surprise attack on an army of two hundred thousand, advancing with unstoppable momentum and finally beheading Ying Tao, the commander of the Qin army, Xinyang Jun. This feat cannot be described as simply taking the head of a general amidst a vast army.
Yang Cheng himself was powerful, and he also had thousands of cultivators under his command, including cultivators from the Shui family who could form an army.
It should be understood that although cultivators are powerful in individual combat, apart from the Mohists and the Military School, other cultivators cannot achieve much in large-scale legion battles.
Just like Confucianism, no matter how strong your righteous spirit is, you can't withstand more than a few rounds in a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of people.
The Yin-Yang School's techniques are powerful, but they will sacrifice their lives to counter your techniques, and your power is not inexhaustible.
Moreover, the most important thing is that there are very few truly capable cultivators among the various schools of thought; they all follow the elite route.
The Shui family, however, is different. They were trained as an army from the beginning. Not only are they individually powerful, but they can also work together to obey commands and fight, making them even stronger than when they are fighting individually.
Several thousand members of the Shui family are comparable to tens of thousands of soldiers, and they are extremely elite.
Therefore, Yang Cheng's words now carry no less weight than those of the feudal lords.
Xiong Wumeng gritted his teeth and said directly, "Alright, since everyone says so, let's divide up these 180,000 Qin soldiers first before talking about anything else!"
Yang Cheng and his brother deserve the greatest credit for this battle, and I think none of you have any objections, right?
Even without Brother Yang Cheng, we would all have died in the Qin army's encirclement and slaughter.
Secondly, there were the Xiang brothers, who made a desperate gamble, leading their army to break through the encirclement and cooperate with the Yang brothers to hold off the Qin army, creating an opportunity for the Yang brothers to kill Ying Tao.
Therefore, these Qin army prisoners should be chosen by them first. Does anyone have any objections?
Putting aside everything else, Xiong Wu, as the leader of the alliance, is quite adept at the art of checks and balances.
He couldn't gain the upper hand with his 180,000 Qin troops, but he wouldn't let Wei Bao and his men do so either.
Yang Cheng had just joined the anti-Qin alliance. He had no foundation, and although he had achievements, he lacked seniority. No matter how much power he held, he could not threaten me.
The same applies to Xiang Yu. He lacked experience, and his uncle Xiang Liang was already old. Even if he gained power, he wouldn't pose much of a threat to Xiang Yu.
Therefore, if Qin's elite troops couldn't be obtained by themselves, neither could Wei Bao, Tian Dan, and others!
Xiong Wu's move was insidious, yet it left Wei Bao and Tian Dan speechless.
Tian Dan wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak under Xiang Yu's piercing gaze.
This guy is insane!
His younger brother, Tian Jing, was cleaved in two by this guy just because he said the wrong thing, and Tian Dan even has a phobia of it.
Even those useless Confucian scholars couldn't protect themselves, so Tian Dan had no choice but to endure it for the time being and wait for an opportunity to take revenge!
Although Wei Bao was dissatisfied, he had nothing to say, and everyone had no choice but to distribute the goods accordingly.
Therefore, the final distribution result was that Yang Chenggong, who had made the greatest contribution, received 30,000 elite troops, while Xiang Yu, who had made the second greatest contribution, received 20,000.
Yan Zhao lost 10,000 men because he had sent them to fight alongside Xiang Yu, and suffered heavy losses himself.
These 60,000 men were the most elite troops in the entire Qin army, while the remaining 120,000 were ordinary soldiers.
As the leader of the alliance, Xiong Wu also entrusted his men to Xiang Yu's breakout, thus taking 50,000 men.
Wei Bao took 30,000, while Tian Dan and Han Cheng each received 30,000.
Although Tian Dan and the others were dissatisfied with the allocation, Xiong Wu preferred to suppress them even if he himself did not get the elite troops. They had no choice but to accept it, as it was a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own.
The distribution of profits didn't end until dark, and Yang Cheng was already getting impatient.
