"Just like what Elder Fan said, Qin Emperor Ying Che isn't simple.”
Uncle Xiang's expression turned ugly as he spoke in a low voice, probably because he had received the relevant news.
"It was really unexpected. Qin Emperor Ying Che didn't hesitate to declare war on the outside to divert the internal conflict.”
He heard that Xiang Liang Bu had a look of fear on his face. The opponent they were facing was actually so troublesome.
If he had only looked at the Qin Emperor Ying Che before, now he didn't dare to lower his guard and treated him as a powerful enemy that was difficult to deal with.
"It seems that there is a difficult obstacle on our path to restoring our country…"
Fan Zeng had been happy about the alliance earlier, but now he didn't even smile. He was only filled with seriousness.
Killing the envoy to sacrifice to the flag was obviously in line with the Qin Emperor's style. The civil and military officials of the court really did not have the courage. This was the biggest detail.
"The more troublesome the Qin Emperor is, the more I want to personally defeat him.”
Listening to the conversation between his uncle and Elder Fan, Xiangyu felt a sense of admiration and even greater determination.
"I didn't expect that young master would also be afraid of someone. He used this as his goal to defeat the Qin Emperor Ying Che.”
They didn't see anything like today. Uncle Xiang realized how much pressure Ying Che had given them.
"Especially the flag sacrifice and declaration of war. It's enough to show that Ying Che isn't simple. His methods aren't weaker than the First Emperor's.”
Compared to Uncle Xiang and the Young Lord, Xiang Liang was even more fearful, and his heart froze.
It was completely imaginable that the Qin Emperor, who did not have any civil and military background or any prestige, would find it as difficult as ascending to the heavens to offer the flag.
Moreover, it was impossible to bypass the founding civil and military officials who had outstanding military achievements without a transcendent mind.
"Presumably, General Xiang has the same thoughts as me. Not saying everything is far better than saying it.”
Glancing at Xiang Liang, whose emotions had fluctuated quite a bit, Fan Zeng mumbled. In the end, he decided to keep it a secret so as not to add too much pressure to everyone.
"Elder Fan, please enlighten me. What should I do next?”
Ever since he promised Fan Zeng some benefits last time, Xiang Liang, who had treated him as a trusted aide, immediately asked for advice.
"Elder Fan, please speak…"
Uncle Xiang and Xiang Liang had the same thoughts, while Xiang Yu wanted to arm wrestle with the Qin Emperor Ying Che, so he was a little polite.
They had thought that after the First Emperor's death, the time for them to raise their troops was ripe. They had never expected that the Qin Emperor Ying Che would be so difficult to deal with.
"According to the recruitment criteria, a military training career of more than three years means that the army formed is the main force for the expedition.”
"Thus, in my opinion, the number of soldiers mobilized from the front line of the Great Wall will not be too large.”
After thinking about it seriously and arranging the thoughts in his mind, Fan Zeng began to elaborate.
"In that case, should we push back the schedule of the army?”
Uncle Xiang let out a sigh of relief and said dejectedly.
" Of course, it's not like we don't have an advantage…"
"From the recruitment situation, the internal structure of the Qin Empire is already very empty, and there are not many troops that can be mobilized.”
Then, Fan Zeng changed the topic and said slowly.
"Right now, the interior of the Violent Qin Empire is indeed empty, but that might not be the case in the future.”
Hearing this, Xiang Liang nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice.
The more the Qin Emperor's prestige increased, the faster he would be in power. The possibility of them raising an army would become smaller and smaller.
"Then let's follow our plan. Let's first unite the remaining troops of the Yue and then discuss the specifics with Zhang Liang and the others.”
Uncle Xiang finally understood and concluded.
"Yes, I believe that Zhang Liang is also seizing the time to work with the Tian Heng brothers and send people to inform our Chu Country.”
Fan Zeng stroked his long beard and agreed.
"Then, who should we send to the remaining troops of the Bai Yue?”
The preparations before the army were already imminent. Xiang Liang suppressed his previous worries and turned to ask.
Even though they looked down on the remnants of the Yue, they were still a strong force. No matter how weak they were, they could be used as cannon fodder.
"I think we can send Cao Jiu over and Zhong Liwei to assist from the side. If anything goes wrong, we can retreat safely.”
" We can't let Fan Zeng go again. It would be too disloyal," Uncle Xiang said after some consideration.
Cao Jiu's talent wasn't bad. Other than Elder Fan, he was the most suitable candidate to take on the responsibility of the remaining troops of the Alliance.
"If it's possible, we'll send Cao Jiu and Zhongli Xi to form an alliance with the remaining troops of the Bai Yue.”
Compared to Uncle Xiang's idea, Xiang Liang thought that it would be better for Fan Zeng to take charge, so he took the opportunity to say so.
With the ever-changing situation at hand, it was really hard to be at ease without a top strategist by his side.
"In the Xiang Clan, I've finally been put in an important position…"
Fan Zeng could more or less see through the intentions of the two people. He was secretly happy about this. Now, he had finally made it through.
"Alright, I'll immediately inform Cao Jiu and Zhongli Meng to go to the remaining troops of the Bai Yue to discuss the alliance.”
Time was tight, so Uncle Xiang didn't stay any longer. He turned around and left.
"Uncle, Elder Fan, I'll go train the army and practice my martial arts.”
Xiang Yu, who was not used to the roundabout way of doing things and had long wanted to leave, followed another uncle out of the courtyard.
For him, it was better to go to the battlefield to kill or practice his own martial arts. It was better than being boring in the courtyard.
"Alright, go!"
Next, he had some words to say to Fan Zeng. Xiang Liang naturally did not object.
"Elder Fan, if the Qin Emperor Ying Che were to take full control, what kind of influence would it bring?”
After Uncle Xiang and the young master left, Xiang Liang turned around and asked about the uneasiness in his heart.
Once the Qin Emperor Ying Che took over, it meant that they would lose the opportunity to rebel against Qin. The Black Ice Platform would once again pursue them and they would have to flee like rats.
"In that case, be it the other countries or my Chu Country, there will never be a day where we can turn the tables.”
Xiang Liang was also a sensible person. Fan Zeng did not have many misgivings and said bluntly.
"It seems like we don't have much time left…"
After getting an extremely accurate answer, Xiang Liang finally made up his mind to take advantage of the change of regime to unite the other countries to raise an army.
Otherwise, just as Fan Zeng had said, they would never be able to make a comeback!
