Chapter 82

These were heroes!

Great heroes who dared to use the nobles to resist imperial power!

It's just... the soldiers guarding the city gates looked at these people with blank faces!

A new recruit said to another veteran soldier: "I feel... the New Emperor is actually quite good!"

"He first exempted us commoners from taxes for three years, and now he is going to implement a land tax, so that the commoners will never have to pay taxes again!"

"He is a good emperor; why rebel against him!"

The veteran soldier laughed and said: "For us ordinary commoners, he is of course a good emperor, but for the nobles, what kind of good emperor is he?"

"Digging grain out of the nobles' mouths is even harder than killing them; they will definitely overthrow the New Emperor!"

The new recruit was shocked: "Doesn't that mean that once the New Emperor is overthrown, we ordinary commoners will have to pay taxes again? Will we have to live that life worse than pigs and dogs again?"

The veteran soldier was stunned, then glared at the new recruit: "A new recruit, why do you care so much?"

The new recruit was young and vigorous: "What about us? Are we just going to watch them overthrow our New Emperor?"

"And then, we commoners will continue to be bullied by them?"

The veteran soldier was stunned and didn't speak!

And there were many commoners who were also stunned and didn't speak!

They looked at these private soldiers setting off, all of them blank!

What were they going to do?

Go to Xianyang City to overthrow the New Emperor!

But if the New Emperor is overthrown, won't we have to pay those vast amounts of taxes again in the future?

Everyone was very blank, but for a moment, they didn't know what to do!

Regardless of them!

Julu Commandery!

When Xiang Yu arrived here, he was shocked by the scene here at the first moment!

Four hundred thousand troops!

In just over a month, a full four hundred thousand troops had gathered here!

059. The burial ground of four hundred thousand troops!

Four hundred thousand troops!

Although Xiang Yu knew clearly in his heart that these four hundred thousand troops were all going to overthrow Ying Su and had nothing to do with killing Ying Zheng!

But... looking at the four hundred thousand troops in front of him, he was still moved!

If these four hundred thousand troops were given to him, why worry about the Great Qin not being destroyed? Why worry about not being able to restore the Chu state?

Why worry about all this!

Xiang Yu was very excited, and Xiang Liang grabbed his arm: "Yu'er, the first thing to do now is to obtain the command of these four hundred thousand troops!"

"And to obtain the command of these four hundred thousand troops, the words 'kill Ying Zheng' and 'destroy the Qin state' must absolutely not be said again!"

"This group of nobles, although many of them want to destroy the Qin state, but... if they are really asked to confront Ying Zheng, they don't have the courage!"

Xiang Liang advised again and again!

Xiang Yu gave a cold snort: "A group of sanctimonious rats; when I win this world, I will surely kill all these rats!"

"What?"

As the words left his mouth, Xiang Xiang Lianggong was very shocked.

At that moment, he couldn't help but advise Xiang Yu: "Yu'er, to take the world, you cannot do without the nobles. Even someone as cruel as the First Emperor Ying Zheng didn't dare to kill nobles indiscriminately!"

"The disaster of the nobles is far more terrifying than the disaster of the commoners!"

"For example, now, monarchs of all dynasties have oppressed the commoners until now, and the commoners haven't dared to make a sound!"

"When it came to Ying Zheng, he made all the commoners in the world build the Great Wall, the Epang Palace, the Qin Straight Road, the Imperial Road, and even built a mausoleum for himself!"

"But in the end, the commoners didn't dare to have any rebellious thoughts!"

"But look at Ying Su? He just wanted to collect half the taxes from the nobles, and it brought four hundred thousand troops to overthrow him!"

"Nobles cannot be moved lightly!"

"No matter when, nobles cannot be moved lightly!"

"Even if Ying Zheng destroyed six states, he didn't dare to move the nobles easily!"

"It's not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare! These nobles are far more terrifying than the commoners!"

Xiang Xiang Lianggong taught him again and again, but... Xiang Yu turned a deaf ear to these words and just dealt with it: "Uncle, Yu'er knows!"

"But the problem now is, how do we obtain the control of these four hundred thousand troops?"

Xiang Xiang Lianggong thought for a while and looked toward the camp: "Enter the tent first, meet the leader, and then we'll see!"

He finished speaking and went inside.

Xiang Yu followed behind, and behind them, sixty thousand people were waiting!

And in the tent, it was full of nobles!

They were all the most powerful nobles from various commanderies and counties of the Qin state.

At this moment, these people, without exception, were all cursing Ying Su.

Cursing Ying Su with foul language.

While cursing, they also complained that the nobles in Xianyang City were not tough enough, cursing them as soft-legged shrimps and trash!

If it were them, as long as Ying Su dared to say that nobles should pay taxes, they would have gone up and chopped Ying Su's head off!

Everyone was cursing happily.

But at the same time, some people were talking about the problem!

That was, who would lead these four hundred thousand troops!

"Lead four hundred thousand troops?"

"Does the army still need leading?"

"Isn't it just a shout, and they will follow?"

The nobles said.

And a young general, hearing this, was speechless to the extreme:

"Four hundred thousand troops, just lining up in formation would stretch for twenty miles. How loud is your voice that you can make people twenty miles away hear you?"

"Ah?"

As the words left his mouth, the nobles were stunned!

At this moment, they looked at each other, all at a loss!

And just at this moment, a voice shouted:

"Wanting four hundred thousand troops to hear orders is simple: set up squad leaders, platoon leaders, centurions, thousand-man commanders, hundred-man generals, military marquises, captains, and a series of official positions!"

"And set up messengers to pass orders to the military marquises and captains, letting them convey them layer by layer, passing them down layer by layer. With this method, let alone four hundred thousand troops, even eight hundred thousand troops can be mobilized!"

As the words left his mouth, everyone was shocked!

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but look at the person who spoke.

They saw that the person who came was sturdy, dignified, and his brows revealed an indescribable dominance!

"Who is this person?"

Everyone asked curiously, looking at each other.

Xiang Xiang Lianggong bowed to everyone: "I am Xiang Xiang Lianggong, a descendant of the Chu state's Grand General Xiang Yan, and this person is Xiang Yan's grandson, Xiang Yu!"

As the words left his mouth, everyone was shocked!

Many nobles stood up and bowed to Xiang Xiang Lianggong at the first moment!

Just kidding!

Although not many people knew Xiang Xiang Lianggong and Xiang Yu, the name of Xiang Yan was truly like thunder in their ears!

Since Li Mu and Lian Po were killed by Guo Kai, he was the only general who could contend with Wang Wang Jian!

Back then, he used one hundred thousand troops to defeat Li Xin's two hundred thousand troops, which made him famous in one battle!

Although he later lost one hundred thousand troops to Wang Wang Jian, leading to the destruction of the Chu state!

But... was it shameful?

It wasn't shameful!

Not shameful at all!
