While Xiong Wu and others were plotting against Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng was discussing with Zhang Han, Meng Tian, and others how to attack Xianyang City.
It wasn't that Yang Cheng was too unvigilant; rather, he had long anticipated that Xiong Wu and his group would eventually make a move against him.
Xiong Wu and his gang are experts at internal power struggles but incompetent at external ones.
They established the anti-Qin alliance, and they had long regarded the entire alliance as their private property. How could they tolerate outsiders interfering, especially someone like Yang Cheng who so domineeringly interfered with the rights of the anti-Qin alliance?
So they will definitely make a move, but Yang Cheng doesn't know when they will choose to do it.
But it seems it should be soon, since once we capture Xianyang, it will be a game of change, and we must act before that happens.
However, Yang Cheng didn't care about any of this. With absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery was futile.
The strongest power in this world resides in only two places: Xu Fu in the Qin King's palace and Xiang Yu himself.

Apart from these two, Yang Cheng didn't take the others seriously.
Xiang Yu can be said to have been blessed with the fortune of an entire realm, and his physical strength was unfathomable. It could be said that the more desperate the situation, the stronger the power he could unleash.
The power contained within his body was truly comparable to that of a demon god—not an adjective, but a quantifier.
But now that Yang Cheng is on good terms with Xiang Yu, he won't intervene even if his uncle Xiang Liang asks Xiang Yu to make a move, so Yang Cheng has nothing to worry about.
The key now is how to capture Xianyang and kill Xu Fu.
Meng Tian said, "Over the years, I have been commanding the Great Wall Army within the Great Wall defense line, so I am not very familiar with the layout of Xianyang City."
However, when I returned to Xianyang recently, I found that the city's defenses were lax, and it seemed there wasn't a large army that could be easily breached.
Zhang Han sighed and said, "Xianyang City does indeed have no large army right now, and the number of people defending the city does not exceed ten thousand. It would be easy to break through the city."
However, killing Xu Fu was not so simple. He had the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation under his control, and it was said that the formation could melt the entire city of Xianyang.
Furthermore, Xu Fu had arranged something inside the Epang Palace, which, although not yet officially completed, had already become Xu Fu's stronghold.
The army may be able to conquer Xianyang, but how to deal with Xu Fu then remains to be seen.
"Don't worry, Xu Fu has wreaked havoc on the world and acted against the natural order. No cultivator in the world would be willing to associate with Xu Fu."
"We will march on Xianyang tomorrow. General Zhang, you will be in charge of the siege."
Yang Cheng reassured Zhang Han and the others, and just as he stepped out of the tent, a guard from Xiong Wu's side came over and said, "General Yang, Alliance Leader Xiong Wu invites you to come over for a meeting to discuss tomorrow's attack on Xianyang."
A faint, ambiguous smile appeared on Yang Cheng's face. He didn't immediately agree, but waited until the guard's face showed a hint of panic before Yang Cheng calmly said, "Alright."
Meanwhile, Xiang Yu was summoned out of his tent by Xiang Bo to eat roasted whole lamb.
Xiang Yu was slightly impatient: "Uncle, we're starting our march on Xianyang tomorrow. What are you asking me to eat roasted whole lamb at a time like this?"
Like Xiang Liang, Xiang Bo was also Xiang Yu's uncle, but he was the kind of person who wasn't very capable.
In reality, although the Xiang family has many members, only a few are truly capable.
Therefore, Xiang Yu did not show much respect to Xiang Bo, but he did not leave directly because the other party was his uncle.
Uncle Xiang was not angry, but just smiled and said, "Nephew, don't be angry. I came here on the behalf of the rest of the Xiang family."
With the Qin dynasty about to be overthrown, we need to discuss how much benefit our Xiang family will receive and where we should be enfeoffed.
They didn't dare to ask you directly, so they begged me to sound you out.
Don't worry, this is definitely something you, my dear nephew, can decide. All everyone wants is a definite answer.
As he spoke, Xiang Bo led Xiang Yu to a place far away from the main camp. The whole roasted lamb was already on the rack, sizzling and oozing oil, emitting a hot aroma.
Xiang Liang also told Xiang Yu that even if they conquered the world, they could not rely entirely on outsiders; the people they could truly trust were their own Xiang clan.
Therefore, even though Xiang Yu looked down on his useless relatives, he still arranged some places for them.
So when Xiang Bo spoke up, Xiang Yu thought for a moment and then sat down, eating the whole roasted lamb while telling him about his plans.
At this moment, Yang Cheng also arrived at Xiong Wu's alliance leader's tent.
Upon entering, he found only Xiong Wu, Tian Dan, and Wei Bao.
Yang Cheng walked in casually and said, "Didn't the alliance leader want to discuss with me how to attack Xianyang? Where is Xiang Yu? Where is Yan Zhao?"
Xiong Wu said, "Xiang Yu and Yan Zhao have other matters to attend to, but I, the leader of this alliance, have only called you here to ask you one thing."
Now that the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty is a foregone conclusion, who should rule the world after its fall? Do you have any ideas?
Xiong Wu stared intently at Yang Cheng, displaying a very imposing demeanor.
Yang Cheng chuckled and said, "To be honest, I have no particular thoughts. I'm only interested in killing Xu Fu, not in the world. After killing Xu Fu, Zifang and my men will all disband."
Xiong Wu and the other two were stunned; none of them expected Yang Cheng to say such a thing.
