Chapter 151 Not Making Things Difficult for the King of Han 63
This time, Liu Bang did not climb over the wall, but watched the live broadcast from inside the Xianyang Palace.
The messenger only reported the situation of the attacking crowd, while Liu Bang himself clearly saw what was happening outside.
This is all thanks to the Han state itself, which has established new connections with the world, and she can see everything within the Han territory at any time.
However, judging from the results of Liu Bang's probing, she was more concerned about the movements of enemy states, and she was too lazy to pay special attention to her own people unless she was really bored.
As for the enemy state spirit, it naturally does not refer to the area near the Central Plains, but to the Xiongnu in the north. She has already dealt with the Central Plains, so there is nothing to fear. However, the newly emerged Chanyu of the Xiongnu has made the Han Dynasty quite wary.
Of course, Liu Bang himself was also very wary, perhaps because he learned from the Han that the current Chanyu had come to power.
The aerial images showed that the elderly and weak who had insisted on staying outside the city were being driven to the city walls. Liu Bang was a bit troubled and didn't want to give the order to take action directly, since most of the people temporarily housed inside the outer city had connections with people outside.
The garrison on the city wall did not make a move for the time being, not for any other reason than that those men looked old and crippled, and did not even have siege ladders, let alone the ability to break through the city gate with them.
Liu Bang understood perfectly well that this was a ploy to annoy him.
Even though the people gathered near the city gate were mostly from the former Qin dynasty and the present Han dynasty, he had no intention of opening the city gate and letting them in.
The city gates can't be opened or closed at will. Who knows if Chu soldiers will emerge from the shadows the moment he opens them?
People who value their lives would never joke about their own.
He is now the King of Han, but he hasn't declared himself emperor yet, and he doesn't want to die.
With an idea in mind, his gaze couldn't help but fall towards Han. He hadn't forgotten who it was that had told him not to retreat.
He was afraid that Han would be soft-hearted, and he was also afraid that he might suddenly have a brain fart.
Han looked up at the scene expressionlessly, showing no intention of speaking.
Liu Bang didn't believe that the Han people weren't angry. He understood just by looking at the fluctuations in the grudge-holding list. He clicked on it and saw that one person's ranking was rapidly rising.
It seems that the idea came from that man named Fan Zeng.
Liu Bang was deeply moved by this, so one should not be too extreme in one's conduct. One can be immoral, but one cannot be completely without morality. Even if one is immoral, one should still pretend to be.
Something fake is better than nothing...
He could now speak ill of Xiang Yu in front of the Han people without any qualms, and secretly said, "Ancestor, there's no need to be angry. He dared to treat the Han people like this, so you can vent your anger on Chu."
"As long as she doesn't die, there's no need to worry about a new Chu Ling being born."
His remarks sounded exactly like those of a villain, but his purpose was extremely simple.
'Han' glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Liu Bang wasn't suggesting she could vent her anger on 'Chu'; he was actually warning her not to kill the old 'Chu' that she had already dealt with to the point of near death in a fit of anger, otherwise she would have to go through the trouble of fighting the newly born 'Chu' again, which wouldn't be good for her heart.
As long as the old 'Chu' continues to occupy the name of 'Chu', whether it is free or imprisoned by 'Han', a new 'Chu' will not emerge.
The old Chu is not important, but the fact that the new Chu is not born is very important to him.
"It's not impossible for you to see her. In fact, she is your real 'biological mother'."
While using sarcastic language, 'Han' also took the opportunity to belittle 'Chu'. 'Han' is the ancestor of Liu Bang, while 'Chu' is merely of the parent generation. What 'Han' is to 'Chu' is self-evident, isn't it?
Liu Bang said with a serious face: "If the mother is not kind, the son can also be unfilial. Besides, I don't even know her."
Liu Bang: I've never met you before, and I'm not familiar with you.
Do we even need to think about choosing between our own country and its enemy? Of course, we'd choose 'Han'!
He is unworthy to be the King of Han if he hesitates even for a moment on this issue!
Han's lips curled slightly. Liu Bang's words sounded grand, but Chu would only be able to do so if it had the opportunity to show mercy.
It's a pity that those who have the last laugh are always the most ruthless.
'Han' chuckled.
Liu Bang couldn't figure out why the 'Han' was laughing, nor did he want to indulge his curiosity at this moment.
Although he was indeed quite curious, for example, he had wondered if no other spirit had thought of this method before. The Shang and Zhou dynasties were once just as powerful, so why did they allow the spirits of the vassal states to develop in this way?
Later, after filling in the blanks in his mind, he convinced himself that otherwise, how could 'Qin' be related to Qin Shi Huang... they were both definitely not benevolent.
Kind people are often bullied, good horses are often ridden, and clever minds are often mistreated.
As for the claim that the Qin dynasty, which existed before the Han dynasty, was a benevolent state, just listen to it; he wouldn't believe it.
Even minor issues like whether a seamless name change is really okay have been figured out by Liu Bang. He himself was using the Qin system and still wanted to inherit the title of emperor, so he shouldn't be worrying about whether the name of the imperial family had been changed or not.
After all, the fundamental system of this country was still based on Qin with minor modifications. The biggest difference was probably the name. So it makes perfect sense that 'Qin' survived by changing its name.
The entire nation and its leader remained silent, the only sound coming from the images displayed in mid-air.
According to the attendants waiting at the door, the King of Han muttered something under his breath after hearing the news and then remained silent.
The quiet atmosphere made them unconsciously control their breathing to be lighter, while what they couldn't see was the scene outside the city being broadcast live.

Zhu Qing'ai thought for a long time and searched through many items in the mall. The cheap ones couldn't solve the problem, and the expensive ones were unaffordable. Using energy alone wouldn't save anyone either.
At this moment, I miss the previous world so much, the power of truly having a concept.
Whether you can wipe out millions of aliens with a wave of your hand or save a single person in this world requires careful consideration of your capabilities.
Ah, then she certainly doesn't have that ability.
Based on the principle of "saving them if possible, and letting them go if they can't," Zhu Qing'ai held Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng responsible for the incident.
Even if it weren't for anything else, just because of her current identity as a 'Han', she would still show a vengeful side.
At this point, Liu Bang remained silent, but when he did speak, he wanted to test whether she could recreate the previous anomaly. Considering the need to maintain the established pattern, she naturally said no.
Although she knew it was normal for the emperor to be suspicious, she was still annoyed by Liu Bang's various doubts. So, to avoid making everyone unhappy, she bluntly said, "Why don't I kick you down? Maybe you can figure out what to do down there?"
Liu Bang chuckled twice and shut up. Luckily, he didn't climb the city wall of Xianyang himself. He was watching from here. His ancestors couldn't possibly kick him off, could they?
As soon as Liu Bang shut his mouth, his thoughts returned to the scene in mid-air. Looking at that scene, he felt uncomfortable.
He may not feel sorry for those poor people, but he must feel bad about it; that feeling of being disgusted by others is very frustrating.

Zhang Er was unaware that someone was watching them, nor did he know that a spirit had tried everything for them, and after realizing it was futile, had recorded their deeds for the sake of the generals and ministers.
A man like him couldn't conceive of any lofty questions. He didn't even have any doubts about Xiang Yu. If they claimed to be responding to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, why didn't they take the question "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" to heart? Why were it generals and ministers who were sent to their deaths at this crucial moment?
He couldn't think of any of these things; his only thought was that his relatives in the city must be alive and well.
"Stone!" Zhang Er shouted, which was extremely conspicuous in the timid crowd, but he didn't say anything more, so the people around him just subconsciously looked at him, wondering what he meant by suddenly shouting 'Stone'.
Only those called 'Stone' can understand their old friend calling them.
"Go!"
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, a group of elderly and weak rushed toward a short man. They were frail and powerless, unarmed, but outnumbered.
When the short man was grabbed by the leg, he didn't understand what was happening. He just subconsciously pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and swung it at the person.
Blood spurted out, splashing onto the bodies and faces of those nearby.
Some people retreated with fear in their eyes, while others stood frozen in place, but Zhang Er shouted, "There are soldiers among us!"
"They want to enter the city; they want our children dead!"
The people who had been standing there in a daze started to move. They didn't retreat. After the old woman who had been clinging to the short man's leg fell down, someone else rushed towards him.
Zhang Er watched as his old buddy 'Stone' circled around and, with his last bit of strength, strangled the dwarf to death.
He didn't rush up directly just now, but ran over and picked up the dagger. He then looked at the high city wall.
There seemed to be figures moving around on the city wall. They were in complete chaos. No arrows were shot down from the city wall. Instead, the people who had captured them were occasionally drawing their bows and shooting arrows, threatening them to continue forward.
Zhang Er seemed to see his children standing on the city wall, guarding the city.
The city before him was the city his children guarded...
Zhang Er gripped the dagger tightly, feeling his blood boiling all day.
He found another suspicious person in the crowd. This person's expression was completely different from theirs; they seemed to be grieving and angry at their companion's departure. He thought, "You're next..."
Zhang Er brandished his dagger and charged forward. Knowing he was doomed, he still thrust the dagger at the man, shouting as he reached him, "The King of Han has been kind to my son. I will not let the King of Han suffer today!"
