Chapter 861: Zhang Liang's Plan

~8 min read 1,438 words

"Brother Su, what do you think if I go to Xianyang City?" After a long time, Zhang Liang suddenly said.

"What?"

Su Fan was shocked upon hearing this.

Su Fan looked at Zhang Liang seriously for a few times and said: "Are you serious? You want to go to Xianyang City; do you know how dangerous Xianyang City is?"

"Some time ago, you told me you didn't look favorably on Great Qin; why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

Su Fan was still a bit puzzled; in reality, the two had been communicating for a long time, and they constantly exchanged advantages and disadvantages of Great Qin and the Heavenly Court in all aspects.

Just looking at it now, Great Qin certainly had an advantage; that Red Emperor was discovered, and although he fled all the way, he was escaped by him.

But this Red Emperor, wanting to play the role the Heavenly Court expected before, was almost very difficult.

This Red Emperor was not to say completely useless, but right now with Great Qin watching, his role was much worse than those rebels from all sides.

Now the rebels of Great Qin were mostly concentrated in the original Chu land, and the Nanjun side, which was the original Korea.

In the land of Qilu, to tell the truth, there were not many people rebelling here.

There were many reasons; first of all, in the land of Qilu, the military power of Great Qin was very strong; after all, the trade development here was relatively high.

There was a lot of money and food, so after Great Qin unified the world, it had always attached great importance to this place, with three large armies, totaling about 300,000 troops.

These were Qin troops, not the local county soldiers.

Such a powerful army also made those local powerful families in the land of Qilu not dare to have too many actions.

After all, the Qin law was harsh, but these local powerful families actually lived relatively comfortably.

And because of the prosperity of commerce, the big clans had money, and because of the influence of merchants, in reality, these merchants hoped for peace even more.

After all, in peaceful times, it was easier for them to earn money and food.

In troubled times, it was not a good thing for merchants; after all, in troubled times, whether it was soldiers or bandits, they would loot these merchants.

After all, merchants had money.

So the large number of merchants and the strengthening of influence also made the local powerful families not hope for troubled times to rebel.

In this way, in this land of Qi, there were really not many rebel forces; even if there were, they were just a group of mountain bandits.

They didn't have much influence, and even the local county soldiers were enough to suppress them.

The truly dangerous ones were still the places like Nanjun and Chu land.

There were too many rebel forces there, and the local military power of Great Qin was fundamentally powerless, and even many counties were taken down.

Those rebels were quite powerful.

Great Qin had to dispatch armies from other places to suppress them.

However, these days, those rebel forces had people supporting them behind the scenes, making them not fall into a disadvantage when facing the elite of Great Qin.

If they were just pure rebels, in reality, Great Qin would not be afraid; after all, compared to the foundation of Great Qin, those rebels could not compare.

Just in terms of food, it would be enough to exhaust those people to death.

But Su Fan and Zhang Liang both knew that in terms of food, the Heavenly Court behind the scenes could provide it; in this way, the rebels who did not lack food could constantly recruit people.

This was also why the rebels died wave after wave, as if they were endless.

Great Qin now had no good way to deal with them; if they couldn't eliminate the high-level officials of those rebels, then this rebellion would never end.

However, in general, Great Qin still had the advantage; after all, the gap in the strength of the army between the two sides was still very large.

Regardless of the Heavenly Court, temporarily the Heavenly Court would not send Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to descend to the mortal world.

Without the help of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, just relying on those refugees, these people rebelling had little combat power.

Even if they possessed weapons provided by the Heavenly Court, people who had not undergone much training had no combat power at all.

You, an adult farmer, holding a long knife, fighting with a Great Qin soldier, often one Great Qin soldier could kill three or five such farmers.

Once they gathered into a large army, the Qin army would be even more formidable.

Not to mention, the weapons provided by the Heavenly Court were not many.

After all, the Heavenly Court did not have the weapons of the mortal world, and as for food, the weapons cast by the Heavenly Court were used by Heavenly Soldiers and Generals with immortal power.

Ordinary people could not use them at all.

There was no ordinary iron in the Heavenly Court.

So the power provided by the Heavenly Court to the rebels was not much, at most using some immortal objects to give some high-level fierce generals a boost in strength.

The effect was there, but wanting to defeat Great Qin with just this was fundamentally impossible.

After all, Great Qin also had experts.

Those immortal objects of the Heavenly Court could at most improve the strength of some rebel generals, and they would not improve them too much.

It was impossible for everyone to improve to Golden Immortal, at most improving from top-tier mortal to Earth Immortal, which was not bad.

And such things could not be too many.

After all, the Heavenly Court wanted to use these remnants of the Six States to consume the strength of Great Qin, and they had never thought that the remnants of the Six States could defeat Great Qin.

That was not realistic; the top-tier combat power of the remnants of the Six States was just those few, and they were not Great Qin's match at all.

As for the army, that went without saying; Great Qin had millions of combat soldiers, at least five million.

Two or three million of them were guarding the borders.

And these were true combat soldiers, not those rebels who had just taken off their farmer clothes and picked up weapons.

In the great war between the two sides, it was only because of the support of the Heavenly Court that quite a few Earth Immortal level martial generals among the rebels frequently blocked Great Qin's attack.

In reality, Great Qin was not attacking those rebels with all its strength now.

The one truly suppressing the rebels was Wang Ben, but he only had 500,000 troops to block the rebels' offensive route.

Zhang Liang was not very clear about what Great Qin was specifically doing.

But Zhang Liang and Su Fan both knew that relying on rebels alone, they were not Great Qin's match at all.

Su Fan also admitted this point; in history, if the First Emperor did not die, those rebels would fundamentally not be able to succeed.

In history, when Xiang Yu and the others rebelled, in reality, the 300,000-strong army of Great Qin's northern border, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the south.

The Great Wall Legion of the northern border was originally commanded by Meng Tian; after Meng Tian died, Wang Li commanded this army.

It was just that Wang Li was too useless and did not fully control this army; only a part went south, and as a result, it collapsed.

It could only be said that it was a tiger father and a dog son; Wang Ben and Wang Jian were top-tier generals of Great Qin, while Wang Li was a waste.

The hundreds of thousands of troops in the south did not return at all.

This was why Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were able to break through Xianyang.

And in the mythical world, the military power of Great Qin was even more terrifying; millions of troops were firmly controlled in the center of Great Qin, and the military of Great Qin had not declined at all.

Relying on those rebels alone, Su Fan could see that they had no chance of winning.

Great Qin's true opponent was still the Heavenly Court. ===== CHAPTER 862 =====
