Chapter 459: First, welcome that shepherd boy back to be the King of Chu!
Zhang Han gathered his strength and was about to intercept Zhao Gongming who was riding on the black tiger.
However, he was stopped by the First Emperor who seemed to know what he was going to do and was standing in front of him.
"With that black tiger here, you are no match for him."
Zhang Han remained silent. This was the fact.
Not to mention on this steep cliff, even on flat ground, he would most likely not be able to defeat the black tiger in a head-on battle.
He knelt on his knees and lowered his head.
"If Zhao Gongming spreads news about your majesty and ruins your majesty's plans, Zhang Han will be blamed for his death!"
"It's not that serious."
The First Emperor still had a smile on his face and pulled Zhang Han up.
"From the moment I was led off the cliff by the prince in front of all the ministers, this plan was accomplished. Asking you to stop the others is just perfection.
"I can choose to wait five years or not, but the six nations have no choice."
Guiguzi, who had been silent all this time, had sweat on his forehead. He wiped the sweat off and looked surprised.
"There is someone in Qi who can observe the stars in broad daylight. I cannot stop him from observing them. Your Majesty's life and death cannot be hidden from him."
The First Emperor waved his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.
"If we can't stop them, then we won't stop them. The situation is set. If I tell them to rebel, then they must rebel."
After yawning, the First Emperor smiled even more.
"That brat has been at large for ten years. It's time for him to pay back."
Three hours later, at the foot of Mount Tai.
All the Qin officials who were qualified to accompany the First Emperor to the Fengshan ceremony got into the carriage and were surrounded by a group of armored and armed officials.
It’s called protection, but it’s actually house arrest!
They are not allowed to communicate with anyone outside without going through Langguan, not even their closest relatives or brothers!
All the ceremonial instruments such as gongs, drums, bells, and chimes in the hands of the guard of honor were put away and replaced with Qin swords, creating an immediately solemn and murderous atmosphere.
Five thousand men and horses, with a light carriage and a few followers, were filled with murderous intent. They chose a route that was closest to Xianyang and hurried away at the fastest speed. The official road was filled with thundering horse hooves and billowing smoke and dust.
Li Si was in charge of the caravan on behalf of the First Emperor. He ordered the caravan not to enter any city they encountered, and only officials in charge of food and fodder were allowed to enter for supplies, and the caravans were all stationed in the wild.
Zhang Han, who was in charge of the armed forces of the convoy, secretly led the secret guards to kill wave after wave of spies from the six countries, and openly killed dozens of Qin officials who either relied on their seniority to force themselves to see the emperor or tried to escape in the middle of the night.
Under the oppression of the iron-blooded policy, the atmosphere in the convoy became increasingly depressing, people were in panic, the voices became fewer and fewer, and there was dead silence.
Most people in the team went from cursing at first to being angry but not saying anything, and then looking forward to reaching Xianyang as soon as possible...
In Chu, deep in the mountains and old forests.
There was not a single leaf on the bare tree trunks, but the ground was covered with withered yellow leaves.
In the forest, one can scurrying about among the trees and on the ground.
Xiang Liang and Huan Chu held wooden swords and fought side by side with all their strength, fighting against the enemy.
These two people learned military tactics, but there was no overly mysterious method. They chopped horizontally and chopped vertically with great force, which looked very imposing, but lacked flexibility.
Being alone, he was full of flaws in the eyes of the top martial arts masters who were proficient in private fighting.
But now the two of them have joined forces. They have known each other since childhood, played together since childhood, and are already very familiar with each other.
At that moment, we were in a position to support each other, you attacking and I defending, and we were much stronger. The dead leaves in the forest were spinning like flying, and the dead branches were intertwined.
The enemy is pressed so that he can only defend himself but has no power to fight back.
But the two of them did not show any joy at all. Instead, as time passed, their faces became more and more surprised.
"No more fighting!"
Xiang Liangsheng led his men to flee and was the first to retreat.
Huan Chu was a little slower, and also retreated quickly, his feet making a rustling sound as they stepped on the pile of dead leaves.
Amid the falling leaves, a sturdy young man walked out with a bored look on his face, his expression full of dissatisfaction.
"Did you take some magic medicine? Why do you change every day?"
Huan Chu laughed and scolded, even suspecting that his nephew was not a human being.
Half a month ago, he and Xiang Liang joined forces to make the young man panic.
Now, it’s impossible for the boy to fight back!
It's not that the suppressed boy couldn't fight back, but that the boy was afraid of hurting the two of them. The boy was just like an old man playing with a naughty boy, feeding them moves.
"Hmph! What's the use of brute force? Without learning military tactics, can you win a battle just by relying on your bravery?"
The boy, who had just shown signs of joy after being praised, suddenly felt like a cold shoulder and he immediately became unhappy.
If the person speaking was not his closest uncle, he would have already turned hostile.
"Yu Wanfu is invincible. One man can defeat ten thousand men. Of course, it's possible!"
"From ancient times to now, I have never heard of a method of fighting that wins by being brave!"
"That's because I, Xiang Yu, wasn't born yet. If I were born earlier, I would have known this kind of fighting method long ago!"
"How arrogant you are! Have you forgotten what you said before, that swordsmanship cannot defeat ten thousand people?"
Xiang Yu was a little embarrassed and didn't smile.
He did say that, but he didn't know at the time that the others were so weak...
When he entered this forest five days ago, he encountered a dozen bandits. Xiang Yu slapped the bandit leader to death with one slap.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, and suddenly there were hurried footsteps approaching from afar.
"Master! Something has happened at Mount Tai!"
The person who came had not arrived in person, but the voice came first. After the six words were shouted, the person also came closer.
Five steps away from Xiang Liang, he bowed his head respectfully and reported quickly.
“I only saw the King of Qin ascending Mount Tai, but I never saw him descending Mount Tai.
"The 5,000-strong convoy is much tighter than before. Now even a mosquito can't fly in. We can't find a chance to contact Xiang Liu, and we don't know whether Xiang Liu is dead or alive.
"The caravan travels 300 miles a day. We took the main road. Judging from the direction, we should be heading to Xianyang..."
As the visitor spoke, Xiang Liang's expression became more and more serious, and in the end he even showed a hint of joy!
After everyone had finished speaking, he waved them away and walked slowly with his big belly protruding.
"uncle"
The impatient Xiang Yu just opened his mouth.
"Shut up!"
Huan Chu, who used to dote on him more than his uncle, immediately stopped him in a low voice with a stern look.
In such a major event, Xiang Liang's judgment was not only about the Xiang family and his Huan family, but also about all the old nobles of the Chu State who intended to restore their country.
Although he would definitely summon his followers to conduct detailed investigations and discussions before making a final decision, Xiang Liang's first reaction at the time was also very important.
Whichever direction Xiang Liang leans towards, most of his followers will think in that direction, and the guests will follow the host's wishes.
No matter how he spoiled this kid in the past, he must not let him influence Xiang Liang this time!
Xiang Liang walked back and forth in circles, his brows furrowed the whole time and never straightened up.
Xiang Yu was so depressed that he sat on the ground and crushed some leaves for fun. The boy didn't understand what was so fussy about.
It was obvious that something bad had happened to the King of Qin. Why not rebel? Replace him!
It was not until Xiang Yu had rubbed 183 leaves and the golden rain had fallen in his hands 182 times that Xiang Liang finally stopped.
"Whether it's true or not, we must be prepared. According to what Fan Zeng said, we should first welcome that shepherd boy back to be the King of Chu!"
