P.S.: Sorry, 585 and 586 were reversed. I'll have the editor fix it tomorrow.
With the distribution of benefits completed on the anti-Qin alliance side, the next steps were to be arranged.
However, there was nothing much to arrange; the various feudal lords would certainly take the Qin prisoners to their own camps first.
Yang Cheng doesn't need to worry about these things; Zhang Liang will arrange them himself.
Just as Yang Cheng stepped out of the tent, an old man with an air of otherworldly elegance approached him, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Yang, please wait a moment. I am Chu Yuan of the Yin-Yang School."
Yang Cheng was slightly surprised. This was the patriarch of the Yin Yang School and Wei Bao's biggest supporter.
In fact, the Yin-Yang School has several branches. The branch that Chu Yuan belongs to is the largest branch of the Yin-Yang School on the surface, and it can be considered the orthodox branch.

However, Yang Cheng didn't have any opinion on the Yin-Yang School.
According to Zhang Liang, the various schools of thought and their branches chose to support these feudal lords simply because they were nearby and influential, not because they truly favored these feudal lords.
Their goal was never to support these feudal lords to rise to power, but to overthrow the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.
So it doesn't really matter who they support.
"What business does Sect Leader Chu have with me?"
Chu Yuan said, "It's like this. I heard that when you were in Yunmengze, you captured some living Lishan demons. My Yin Yang School wants one to study its power attributes so that we can prepare for dealing with Xu Fu in the future."
"I don't know if Lord Yang desires money or cultivation treasures; my Yin-Yang School is open to trading either."
Yang Cheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a Lishan demon. I've already given several to the Mo family. If Sect Master Chu wants it, just come and take it."
"It's all about dealing with the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, what kind of deal are we talking about?"
Yang Cheng's words immediately increased Chu Yuan's goodwill towards him; this man was indeed a straightforward person.
Of course, this alone wouldn't be enough to make Chu Yuan switch allegiance and have the Yin-Yang School support Yang Cheng.
These schools of thought from the Hundred Schools of Thought period cared about their reputation, and even if they were dissatisfied with the feudal lords they supported, they would not easily switch allegiances.
Chu Yuan left satisfied, but Xiang Yu called Yang Cheng back.
"Brother Yang, you are slow-paced. I would like to invite you to my tent for a drink. Would you do me the honor?"
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "I don't particularly enjoy drinking, but if Brother Xiang would like to chat, I'm happy to oblige."
Xiang Yu laughed loudly and pointed to his tent, saying, "Then please."
The tent was already filled with food and drink, but Xiang Yu's uncle, Xiang Liang, was not there; it was just the two of them.
Xiang Yu drank a large bowl of wine first and let out a long breath.
"Brother Yang, are you angry about what happened today?"
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not angry."
Xiang Yu asked in surprise, "Why? You should have seen the true colors of those guys. With a formidable enemy at hand, and having just escaped danger, they've already started scheming against each other. Working with these idiots, isn't that something to be angry about?"
And you have no idea what those idiots were doing when they were surrounded.
Instead of trying to break through, they were constantly scheming against each other. That fool Tian Dan even considered surrendering to the Qin army. He probably doesn't care about anything except his money.
Within the entire anti-Qin alliance, only Yan Zhao was truly dedicated to his work. Unfortunately, Yan Zhao lacked ambition; he could conquer the world, but not pacify it; he could be a general, but not a commander-in-chief.
Xiang Yu's pride was ingrained in his bones; in his eyes, anyone not as strong as him was worthless.
This pride has contributed to Xiang Yu's current strength, but it has also become his greatest weakness.
Yang Cheng didn't know if Xiang Yu in the original history was like this, but he probably was, otherwise there wouldn't have been the Feast at Hongmen.
Even without Liu Bang in this world of immortals, it would be difficult for him to reach the end if he didn't change his personality.
Yang Cheng smiled and said, "If I consider them true allies, comrades who are fighting against Qin together, then of course I would be angry."
But I didn't. We're just a community with shared interests, so why should I be angry?
Brother Xiang, relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself. From the beginning, I never considered them true allies, so no matter what trouble they cause, I won't be angry.
"And what about me? Does Brother Yang consider me a true ally?"
Xiang Yu stared intently at Yang Cheng.
In this world, there are not many people that Xiang Yu values, but Yang Cheng is one of them.
With thousands of men cutting through the entire Qin army formation, beheading generals and seizing flags, and even killing the Qin commander Ying Tao, the Lord of Xinyang, amidst a massive army, this achievement was enough to make Xiang Yu take the matter seriously.
In Xiang Yu's view, the person who could fight alongside him to overthrow the tyrannical Qin Dynasty was definitely not someone like Xiong Wu who was ambitious but incompetent, nor someone like Wei Bao who was narrow-minded. It should be a strong person like Yang Cheng!
Yang Cheng laughed loudly: "Of course!"
Xiang Yu's spirit in the face of adversity was truly admirable.
Everyone else is demoralized, but Brother Xiang, your fighting spirit is high.
If these outstanding figures of our time are not my allies, then who are?
Xiang Yu laughed heartily and said, "Well said!"
Brother Yang, aren't you also a remarkable person of our time?
When the tyrannical Qin dynasty is overthrown in the future, you and I will divide the world between us.
I believe that you and I will never again allow this world to fall into the hands of those incompetent tyrants!
Yang Cheng smiled and drank a cup of water with Xiang Yu instead of wine.
After discussing combat and cultivation for a while, Yang Cheng excused himself to rest and left.
