Chapter 379

At this very moment, what all of them still cared about was the incident itself!

And according to Xiaoyaozi's account, as well as this secret letter!

In the end, they looked at one another and all felt everything was reasonable!

After all, having suffered such a great calamity, it was only normal not to dare dispatch trusted confidants!

If Xiaoyaozi couldn't come back, then so be it—he wasn't of much use anyway!

But if people like Zhang Liang and Wang Jian couldn't come back, then something major would happen!

"Good! You may leave first. Follow our orders, and when the time comes for enfeoffment, you will surely have your share!"

Wei Pao said this, and then, after another round of soothing words, Xiaoyaozi finally departed!

And at this very moment, everyone was excited; everyone could not help but shout: "Let's act, let's act!"

However, at this moment, Wei Pao was no longer in a hurry: "Xiaoyaozi's word alone is not enough to be trusted lightly. To ensure nothing goes wrong, let's find a few more people!"

"They have over three hundred men, and all three hundred are cowards who fear death. Even if Ying Su were an immortal who could make Xiaoyaozi loyal to him, he could never make so many people all loyal to him!"

"Find a few more people to ask!"

He spoke these words!

Everyone else nodded: "A matter of life and death—caution is indeed warranted!"

"Find twenty more people to question. If even one person's account doesn't match Xiaoyaozi's, then we wait!"

They all considered this reasonable!

Then, they began sending people to search!

And before long, twenty people were gathered. To prevent them from coordinating their stories, they were brought over one by one for questioning!

At first, everyone, like Xiaoyaozi, said that the victory report delivered by Ying Su was genuine!

But... after a round of enticements with promises of enfeoffment and the like, finally, all twenty told the truth!

Though everyone's accounts couldn't be perfectly identical, the general direction was correct!

Ying Su's hundred thousand troops might not even number ten thousand now!

Moreover, Li Yuanba, Li Cunxiao, Qiao Feng, Lu Zhishen, Lu Bu—they were all dead!

As for that secret letter and the like, they knew nothing of it!

The crowd looked at one another, and in the end all felt this was normal!

After all, with such a major matter, the fewer people who knew, the better. If everyone knew about that secret letter, that would be the strange thing!

And after these twenty people departed, in that instant, everyone was thrilled!

Everyone was excited!

"Ying Su is finished!"

"He's completely finished!"

"We should act immediately now!"

"Kill Ying Su, force Ying Zheng, and implement the enfeoffment system!"

At this moment, everyone shouted!

And Ying Xi spoke up: "Let me make one thing clear first—this action is not to overthrow our Great Qin, but to implement enfeoffment! And even with enfeoffment, all of you will still be vassal states of our Great Qin!"

Everyone nodded: "Of course. This Great Qin realm was conquered by our ancestors—on what grounds would we overthrow it?"

"Being a vassal state of Great Qin is certainly no problem!"

Everyone shouted!

Ying Xi nodded in even greater satisfaction!

In the end, the crowd began discussing the detailed plan:

"First, to accomplish all this, we must resolve several problems first!"

"First, we must certainly carry out a mutiny!"

"But right now, the problem we face is Fu Hao's two hundred thousand troops, and Li Xin's hundred thousand troops!"

"These three hundred thousand men are our enormous obstacle!"

"Second, there is Meng Wu's attitude!"

"Will he actually participate in this mutiny? And his mission—five hundred thousand men just to capture one Ying Su—isn't that making too much of a small matter?"

"Third, regarding Ying Su—should we escort him to Xianyang City and kill him there, or not let him return to Xianyang at all and kill him directly at Yan Sect Pass!"

"Fourth, there's the matter of Ying Zheng's side—do we still need to keep pushing Ying Zheng up?"

"What benefit does pushing Ying Zheng up bring us?"

"Fifth, once all actions are complete, whom do we enthrone as Emperor?"

At this moment, Wei Pao raised these questions!

And after the crowd deliberated for a long time, someone spoke up:

"Meng Wu's attitude should be clear. The Meng family long ago bound themselves to Prince Fusu. Even without this matter, the Meng family would still have to oppose Ying Su—otherwise, why would he be so eager?"

"But having him use five hundred and fifty thousand men to kill Ying Su is indeed a bit of an overreaction. Have Meng Tian bring three hundred thousand men to Xianyang City instead!"

"This way, we can perfectly form a counterbalance against Li Xin and Fu Hao's three hundred thousand men!"

"But during this period, we must begin gathering our own private armies. I've calculated that these people, when assembled, in a short time we can gather up to a hundred thousand men. Then, we begin networking the Great Qin borders with all the major nobles, under the pretext of resisting tax payment, to have them send men and converge on Xianyang. If all the nobles respond, gathering five hundred thousand men will be no problem!"

"Five hundred thousand men plus Meng Tian's three hundred thousand—eight hundred thousand men—is more than enough to sweep everything aside. Li Xin and Fu Hao's three hundred thousand men cannot stop us at all!"

"As for where to kill Ying Su—this man is cunning. Don't let him return to Xianyang City; killing him at Yan Sect Pass is better!"

"Killing him can avoid many hidden dangers!"

"Whom do we enthrone as Emperor?"

"Need I say more? Naturally, it is Young Master Prince Fusu. He is kind-hearted and advocates ruling through benevolence. More importantly, he supports the enfeoffment system; this person is the easiest to control!"

"And he can create more benefits for us!"

Once these words were spoken, no one objected!

Even Young Master Gao and Young Master Jianglu did not object!

Mainly because for so many years, Prince Fusu has always been their mouthpiece!

For this reason, he has clashed head-on with Seeing Ying Zheng countless times!

This person has won the heartfelt admiration of everyone!

"The matter of putting Seeing Ying Zheng on the throne..."

At this very moment, everyone was hesitating.

Some were even arguing fiercely!

On one hand, they believed that putting Seeing Ying Zheng on the throne would not bring them benefits; rather than that, it would be better to maintain the current situation, wait for Prince Fusu and General Meng Tian to return, and then directly force Seeing Ying Zheng to write an abdication edict.

But others believed that if they could push Seeing Ying Zheng up, they would gain the authority to command Li Xin's hundred thousand troops!

That would completely reduce many obstacles!

the most pressing issue now should be resolving Facing Ying Su, not forcing Facing Ying Su and Seeing Ying Zheng to join hands!

At this moment, many people were arguing!

For a long time, they could not reach a unified opinion!

Finally, Wang Wan spoke up: "He is the First Emperor; without his edict, how can Prince Fusu become Emperor? How can the enfeoffment system be implemented?"

"First, push him up. Once he is up, we may gain the authority to command Li Xin's hundred thousand troops!"

"Even if he refuses to cooperate with us, it matters little; in the face of eight hundred thousand troops, the Emperor must also compromise!"

At this very moment, Wang Wan spoke these words, and this speech made many people nod!

Ultimately, they finally reached an agreement!

First, push Seeing Ying Zheng up!

Otherwise, many things will be troublesome!

"Then let us first push Seeing Ying Zheng up, and then, shall we gather our troops?"

At this moment, the crowd began to discuss the order of operations!

After thinking for a long time, they said: "First, send a letter to Tell Meng Wu, ordering General Meng Tian and Prince Fusu to bring three hundred thousand people to Xianyang City!"

"Let Tell Meng Wu wait at Yan Sect Pass; as soon as Facing Ying Su enters Yan Sect Pass, kill him directly!"

"Then, we will gather our troops and contact the nobles!"

"Once our troops have gathered, then we will push Seeing Ying Zheng up to the throne!"

"Then, force him to implement the enfeoffment system!"
