Chapter 376

"Do it!"

"We must kill this bastard!"

At this moment, many nobles shouted in anger!

But at the same time, they were also working very hard to mobilize troops.

Even... to gather more people, they defied the imperial court's system and secretly conscripted soldiers!

Using Qian Liang, they recruited people from the common folk!

As for the pretext, no need to worry!

Just tell them: serve as my private army, and you will have food and drink!

With one sentence, many can be recruited!

Now, it has been only a day or two, and the mansions of the great nobles in Xianyang City are already filled with people!

Someone calculated that the private armies of all the great mansions combined now exceed eighty thousand!

And if we add their private armies stationed outside the city, it would easily break one hundred thousand!

"I think we can force the palace right now!"

At this moment, a noble said impatiently!

But... he was immediately stopped by other nobles!

"Wait a bit longer!"

"Wait for Meng Wu!"

"Wait for Meng Wu's army to arrive, then we will directly push Ying Zheng to the throne!"

"Only this way is it stable enough!"

Everyone was speaking!

At this moment, everyone was waiting,

Yan Sect Pass!

Outside the city!

Right now, Meng Wu looked toward the direction of Xianyang City, utterly anxious!

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month had passed since he sent the victory report into Xianyang City!

Half a month!

Such a long time is completely enough for that group of nobles to make a decision and send a reply.

But... so much time has passed, yet no reply has arrived!

"What are they thinking!"

"What are they thinking!"

"Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao are all dead, and Ying Su has only twenty thousand men left; what are they still afraid of!"

"At this time, why not quickly push Prince Prince Fusu up, and what are they still waiting for!"

Meng Wu was very anxious!

Meng Tian frowned and said, "Could it be that we were too honest? We said Ying Su had over ten thousand men, calling it twenty thousand, and scared them?"

"Uh..."

Once the words were spoken, Meng Wu paused for a moment, then shook his head: "Sigh! These people are all skilled in calculation; none of them are easy to deal with!"

"But... are you sure the news that Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao are dead is true?"

Meng Tian nodded: "Of course I am sure. These scouts were personally selected by me, and some were even spies I planted when Ying Su originally conscripted soldiers!"

"They saw it with their own eyes; how could it be false?"

"Now is absolutely the weakest period for Ying Su!"

"Only at this time can we overthrow him in one stroke!"

"Otherwise, relying on the support of the people in Great Qin he currently enjoys, and relying on the military talents of Han Xin and Wang Jian, with just one raised arm and a call, within a few months he could assemble an army!"

Meng Wu nodded: "Indeed so! I wrote all of this clearly in the letter, told that group of people, so why haven't they replied to me yet!"

Meng Wu was extremely anxious!

And just then, suddenly, horses were galloping from the distance!

The moment Meng Wu saw the horses, his eyes lit up brightly!

"They're here! They're here!"

He shouted; at this moment, in his anxiety, he even ran quickly toward that direction!

Then, he shouted out: "I am Meng Wu!"

"General Meng Wu!"

The person on the horse immediately dismounted, then bowed to him: "General, my lord Wang Wan sent me to deliver this letter!"

"Good!"

Meng Wu was overjoyed, then, without thinking, opened the letter immediately!

After finishing reading the letter, he handed it to Meng Tian!

In the blink of an eye, Meng Tian had also finished reading!

"What do you think?"

Meng Tian pondered for a long time and said: "They want me and Prince Prince Fusu to lead three hundred thousand men to provide support and help the Emperor ascend the throne!"

"Then, you lead two hundred thousand men here to prepare to ambush Ying Su!"

"This approach is not wrong!"

"But... there is one problem here, which is... after killing Ying Su, how do we face the Emperor?"

"You and I both know that although Facing Ying Su seized the throne, the First Emperor's fondness for him far surpassed even that for Prince Prince Fusu!"

"Because everything he did was aimed straight at the First Emperor's heart!"

"Take the matter of tax exemption — the First Emperor didn't not want to exempt taxes, he simply didn't dare to. Apart from lacking the strength to back it up, he was also bound by the Legalists!"

"The moment Facing Ying Su did such a thing, the First Emperor immediately followed suit!"

"What does this tell us?"

"It tells us the First Emperor endorsed every single thing Facing Ying Su did!"

"If we dare to kill Facing Ying Su, we must be prepared to face the First Emperor's wrath!"

Tell Meng Wu nodded and said: "Indeed, that's so. Then what do you say? What should we do?"

"Arrest, but do not kill!"

Tell Meng Wu thought for a moment: "Fine! Then immediately lead troops back to Xianyang under the banner of supporting the First Emperor. Under this banner, Prince Prince Fusu will also support you!"

"As for Wang Ben..."

Tell Meng Wu pondered, feeling somewhat troubled by this man!

After a moment, he said harshly: "If he complies, fine; if he doesn't, then kill him!"

"We don't dare to kill Facing Ying Su, but killing a Wang Ben is still within our reach!"

"This..."

General Meng Tian frowned sharply!

He felt that killing Wang Ben would have equally severe consequences!

But... at this moment, there didn't seem to be a much better option!

He could only bow to Tell Meng Wu and say: "Father should not act rashly. We should observe first. If Wang Ben is determined to oppose us, then kill him!"

"Good!"

"Go then. Take along those people who are loyal to Wang Ben!"

"Understood!"

General Meng Tian bowed, then immediately went off to muster the troops!

And Tell Meng Wu took a deep breath.

Two days later, the three hundred thousand troops led by General Meng Tian and Prince Prince Fusu marched out of Yan Sect Pass, heading toward Xianyang!

At the same time, nobles from various regions, upon receiving the letters, did not delay at all and immediately began to respond!

Because... they all understood that the nobles of Xianyang were right!

If they missed this chance, there might never be another in the future!

Zhang Liang and Huang Chao had won too much of the common people's hearts for Facing Ying Su along their journey!

Now, demanding the nobles pay a ninety percent tax made the common folk cheer all the more!
