Wei Bao sneered, “Alliance Leader, I’m not trying to criticize you, but look at how long we’ve been fighting each other, only to have someone else gain the upper hand.”
In the battle of Chu, our lives were saved by others, and many people in the anti-Qin alliance are grateful to Yang Cheng and Xiang Yu.
In the two battles that followed, weren't Yang Cheng and Xiang Yu the ones who launched the first attack each time?
It was Yang Cheng who persuaded Zhang Han to surrender and even allowed Zhang Han to lead troops. Zhang Han had long been obedient to him and was extremely grateful.
Now, with Meng Tian and Fusu surrendering to Yang Cheng, the largest force in the entire anti-Qin alliance has become the Qin army. This is simply a joke!
"Leader, we've become too powerful to shake off; it seems we have no place in this world anymore."
Tian Dan sighed, "If that's the case, then I might as well go back to my Qi region and become a wealthy old man."
Xiong Wu glanced at Wei Bao and Tian Dan, and snorted coldly, "Alright, stop testing them."
I had anticipated this situation and was prepared for it.
The anti-Qin alliance was established by us together. The world will be divided in the future, and it will be divided between us. How can we let Yang Cheng take it?
Xianyang is now within our reach, and the Qin army has already been persuaded to surrender. We can now make our move.
"Stop holding back, all of you, and bring out your strength!"
Xiong Wu was narrow-minded and ambitious but lacked talent. He had never even thought about destroying the Qin state; he only wanted to keep all the power in his own hands.
Therefore, Xiong Wuke had kept in mind all the times Yang Cheng had overstepped his authority and provoked him, and he had been thinking of ways to deal with him. Now it was finally time!
With Zhang Han, Wang Li, and Meng Tian surrendering and one dying, the Qin army has all turned to their side. The defenses of Xianyang are now extremely weak. It's time to deal with Yang Cheng before entering Xianyang.
Wei Bao said in a deep voice: "Two questions. One is whether Zhang Han and Meng Tian will rebel after Yang Cheng is dealt with."
Furthermore, Xiang Yu and Yang Cheng have a close relationship. If we need to deal with Yang Cheng, should we also deal with Xiang Yu?
Xiong Wu laughed and said, "I have considered Brother Wei's concerns. Zhang Han and Meng Tian are both defeated generals. They will not rebel. As long as we can get rid of Xu Fu and offer them high-ranking positions and generous salaries, why would they rebel?"
Yang Cheng has only been in contact with them for a few days. How close do you think their relationship is?
As for Xiang Yu, he's just a reckless fool; there's no need to worry about him.
"On the day I make my move, I'll arrange for the Xiang clan to lure him away with drinks, keeping him there until I strike Yang Cheng."
Tian Dan said, "Alliance Leader, you have seen Yang Cheng's strength. He can kill generals and seize flags in the midst of a vast army. Even the leaders of the various schools of thought may not be his match. Perhaps only Xiang Yu could fight against him."
If we fail to defeat them in a single battle, we will all suffer.
Xiong Wu said in a deep voice, "That's why I told you to bring out all the power you have."
I have already discussed it with the Wumen sect in Chu. The Wumen sect will do everything in its power to help me. The price is that I will promote the Wumen sect's doctrines throughout the world in the future.
The five high-ranking members of the Wumen Sect—Dongjun, Dasiming, Shaosiming, Xiangjun, and Xiangfuren—will all take action.
Furthermore, the Witchcraft Clan would use their secret, intricately crafted "Square-Inch Diagram" to trap Yang Cheng. This artifact is a true treasure, said to be able to imprison ghosts and gods.
Wei Bao said in a deep voice, "Although the Yin Yang School supports me, those mystical fellows are not my true confidants. They only chose to support me because it happens to be in my Wei territory."
In particular, Chu Yuan, the leader of the Yin-Yang School, has a good impression of Yang Cheng, so it is absolutely crucial that Chu Yuan not know when the operation is launched!
But besides the Yin-Yang School, I have other trump cards up my sleeve.
Previously, when we were in Wei, a monk from the Western Regions named Mahakalan came. He was said to have come from a Buddhist country in the far west, possessed various supernatural powers, and wanted to come to the Central Plains to spread the Tao.
Seeing their abilities, I temporarily kept them on, intending to let them spread their teachings once I promised peace to the world. They were absolutely loyal to me, believing the entire lineage of their teachings rested with me.
Tian Dan squinted and said, "There are too many branches of the Confucian school, and they won't put all their eggs in one basket with me."
However, Huang Ju, the master of the Lu Ru lineage of Confucianism, will fully support me.
That old man's son is having affairs and has ruined his reputation. It's only because I've covered for him that he's been able to maintain his dignity as a Confucian master. He'll definitely do everything in his power to help me.”
Xiong Wu waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then that's about right."
With so many forces at our disposal, even if Yang Cheng were a true god, he couldn't stop us!
At this moment, Tian Dan suddenly asked, "By the way, what about Yan Zhao? Should we inform him?"
Xiong Wu said with disgust, "That guy has no brains and wasted the strength of Yan."
"It's better to avoid trouble. If that scoundrel Yan Zhao betrays us, we'll have to prevent him from leaking information. Let's not talk to him."
