Tian Dan was furious, and behind him, a middle-aged Confucian scholar dressed in a scholar's robe also had a dark expression.
There are many branches of Confucianism, and most Confucianists support Tian Dan of Qi and Han Cheng of Han.
The last time Xiang Yu split Tian Jing in two with a single spear thrust, it was already quite embarrassing for the Confucian scholars to fail to block it.
Today, Yang Cheng openly twisted off Han Cheng's head, and the Confucianists didn't even have time to react. This was even more humiliating.
Upon hearing Tian Dan's words, the middle-aged man in the scholar's robe immediately snorted coldly, and a surge of righteous power rose around him.
"Arrogance should not be indulged, desires should not be followed, ambition should not be excessive, and pleasure should not be taken to extremes!"
In an instant, a righteous aura, as powerful as a mountain, descended and suppressed Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng sneered, and the bloodthirsty aura gathered on the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, condensing the immense power of the Eight-Nine Mystic Arts.
With a single slash, the mountain was cleaved in two, and the battle ended with a deafening roar!
The righteous mountain was instantly torn apart, and the blade's edge headed straight for the middle-aged man in the scholar's robe.
"The wise are not perplexed, the benevolent are not worried, and the courageous are not afraid!"
Another elderly man in a scholar's robe strode forward, and golden characters condensed in front of him. When the blade light struck them, it was absorbed and dissolved.
Yang Cheng pointed his three-pointed double-edged sword at Tian Dan and the Confucian scholars, and sneered, "You're all very dissatisfied with me killing that idiot Han Cheng?"
If I hadn't intervened and killed Ying Tao last time, would you still be alive today?
I saved your lives, not so you could all come and kick me when I'm down!
Han Cheng's life is mine, and now I'm taking it back with my own hands. Do you have any objections?
On the other side, Xiang Yu burst into laughter: "Brother Yang, what did I tell you? You'd be better off saving a bunch of pigs than saving these stupid insects!"
At least pigs can be used as military rations, but these idiots only cause trouble!
When it comes to the ability to incite hatred, Xiang Yu is far superior to Yang Cheng.
His words even made Yan Zhao's face darken.
He was one of the people Yang Cheng saved, so is he inferior to a pig?
Xiong Wu quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright! With a formidable enemy at hand, let's not fight amongst ourselves."
Tian Dan said unwillingly, "Then Han Cheng died for nothing?"
Yang Cheng said calmly, "Otherwise, what else do you want? To avenge him?"
The resistance against Qin in Han was not strong to begin with; to put it bluntly, it made little difference whether Han Cheng was there or not.
"Anyone sent by the anti-Qin alliance could replace Han Cheng."
After speaking, Yang Cheng turned his gaze to Xiong Wu and said in a deep voice, "Alliance Leader, with the Qin army pressing in, what countermeasures do we have? There is only one choice: war!"
"Among you present, who is willing to fight alongside me?"
Xiang Yu immediately picked up his Overlord Spear and roared, "Fight!"
Mozi's Grand Master Tian Chong said calmly, "Of course we must fight!"
The Huang-Lao and the School of Diplomacy, among others, also harbored deep hatred for the Qin state and similarly declared, "War!"
Yan Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "In the past, Jing Ke attempted to assassinate the King of Qin and never returned."
We, the men of Yan, are mostly courageous and resolute; even knowing that we may never return, we will still fight!
The Shadow Clan's sect leader, Chu Yuan, said calmly, "We, the tyrannical Qin, will eventually have a battle. What is there to fear now?"
Wei Bao looked at Chu Yuan in disbelief, seemingly not expecting that the Yin Yang School, who supported him, would speak first.
Wei Bao thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's fight!"
Tian Dan hadn't expected so many people to agree to a fight, and he suddenly found himself in the minority again.
Tian Dan has no other merits, except that he is flexible and adaptable.
Seeing this, he could only force a smile: "Alright! Then let's fight that tyrannical Qin!"
Xiong Wu's expression was rather unpleasant.
Yang Cheng's actions were tantamount to forcing the emperor to abdicate.
What does it mean to fight alongside him? Why doesn't he ask himself, the leader of the alliance, what his opinion is?
However, since everyone agrees to fight, Xiong Wu is stuck in this situation and has no choice but to agree.
"War is inevitable, but the question is how to wage war?"
After all, the difference in strength is enormous.
Yang Cheng said calmly, "My subordinates Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang are outstanding in wisdom and strategy. Professional matters should be left to professionals."

Xiang Yu also realized what was happening and quickly added, "My advisor Fan Zeng is also exceptionally shrewd and capable of devising strategies for this battle."
Zhang Liang and Fan Zeng, two renowned strategists, stepped forward at the same time. They exchanged a glance and smiled, but there was a hint of confrontation between them.
After all, strategists are not military generals; they can simply confront the enemy with force.
Only one strategy can be used; whose strategy to use depends on whose ability.
Zhang Liang bowed to Fan Zeng and said, "Please speak first."
Fan Zeng said calmly, "I won't make a fool of myself by offering my own opinion. I've heard of Zifang's reputation. As a disciple of Huang Shigong, he must have extraordinary insights."
Zhang Liang didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "Although it seems that we are at a disadvantage right now."
But in reality, that's not the case. Qin's power is all in the open, while our power is all in the shadows, it just hasn't been activated yet.
Gentlemen, don't forget, the people have suffered under the Qin dynasty for far too long. Think of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Zhao Xie of the past.
As he spoke, Zhang Liang turned his gaze to Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng let him speak first, and Zhang Liang did not argue back, but instead gave the result to Fan Zeng.
Now that the two sides are joining forces, there's no need for them to actually confront each other over these empty titles.
Fan Zeng was slightly surprised, then smiled and continued Zhang Liang's words: "Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Zhao Xie were able to gather hundreds of thousands of people when they raised their banners of rebellion. What is our anti-Qin alliance lacking compared to them?"
