Meng Yi raised his eyelids, seeming a little confused.
Among the Chu forces, except for the Xiong family, the three major families are the strongest and deserve to be treated with caution by the secret guards.
After that comes the Xiang family, and the secret guards must always pay attention.
Finally, the other forces of the Chu family are added together, and it is enough to pay attention to the collective trends occasionally.
There is a reason why the three major families were the first to stand up for rebellion.
I don’t know how many black hands are behind the game, and they are secretly resisting the imperial system. Xianyang cannot tolerate it, and its destruction is doomed!
They themselves also understand that they will never be able to integrate into the Qin Dynasty unless they die from the Chu clan, so Xianyang will continue to weaken their status and rights until there is no threat.
They were forced to embark on this path. It can be said that it doesn't matter whether they go against it or not!
But the Xiang clan is different. Although they have some appeal, they are not able to influence most Chu people like the three clans.
No one is paying attention to them for the time being. This is a good time for them to develop silently.
Now you want to be the first person?
Meng Yi couldn't help but shook his head, and then he didn't care much.
After all, compared with the remnant forces of the six royal families, the Xiang family is really not even a trouble.
…
The northern part of Kuaiji County on the east side of Jiujiang County, the county seat of Kuaiji County, and the middle of Wu County.
The Xiang family gathered together, with more than a dozen people kneeling and sitting at the banquet.
Xiang Liang, who is at the top of the list, has a strong build and two thick eyebrows on his square face.
"Now, the Jiujiang rebellion has lasted for dozens of days! The Qin army has not yet wiped it out."
"What do you think?"
To his right below him, an older man spoke immediately.
"Sichuan County and Huaiyang County have been confronting them for so long, but they haven't even conquered the city yet!"
"It stands to reason that the rebels are not so strong, and the Qin army should not be so weak!"
This remark caused everyone to think.
Xiang Zhuang, who was sitting opposite, hesitated for two breaths before speaking.
"Uncle, do you think this is a trap?"
The older Xiang Bo nodded slightly.
But Xiang Liang, who was sitting in the first place, frowned slightly.
He did not agree with Xiang Bo's statement. If this was true, how could Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County, privately hint to himself that he had objections?
"Xiang Yu, what do you think?"
Xiang Liang's words drew everyone's attention to the end of the banquet.
Sitting there was an eight-foot tall man who was taller than Xiang Liang.
Originally, Xiang Liang was very disappointed when facing his nephew.
Teaching but not learning, teaching martial arts but not learning. Finally, he proposed to learn the art of war, but he put it aside again after only a few days of teaching.
I thought he was a piece of mud that couldn't hold up the wall and could only rely on brute force to serve as a guard. Unexpectedly, he had the guts to speak arrogantly when the First Emperor visited the East last time.
"The First Emperor can be replaced!"
Since then, Xiang Liang has looked at him with admiration.
After all, he has been aiming to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and restore the Chu Kingdom throughout his life! Even so, I never dared to say such words.
Qin Shihuang is a big mountain that weighs on everyone in this era.
Xiang Yu, who was called, stood up, as if a hill was blocking the door.
"Two uncles! Xiang Yu thinks we should take action regardless of whether it is true or false!"
Xiang Liang raised his eyebrows and said.
"Why?"
Xiang Yu replied respectfully.
"If we want to fight against Qin, we must have great righteousness! And restoring Chu is our great righteousness!"
“We need to win over people who are sympathetic to the cause, so that we can get help from more people.”
This statement made everyone nod, and it made sense.
Xiang Yu continued.
"And who in the world misses the Chu era the most?"
After a pause, Xiang Yu's bright eyes scanned the crowd.
"My nephew believes that apart from the three clans and the former dignitaries, the people who miss the old Chu the most are the people of Shouchun! The people of Jiujiang!"
Hearing this, Xiang Liang's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
What Xiang Yu said was in line with what he was thinking.
"In the past, Jiujiang had fertile land and abundant population, which was what Chu people yearned for. Shouchun, as the capital of the country, was even more crowded."
"At that time, all the people in Jiujiang were living a prosperous life, but since the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu, Shouchun has been in decline visible to the naked eye."
"Only by doing this, the people's hearts will surely be in good spirits!"
Xiang Bo, who was above him, nodded slightly at this moment.
What he said was right, which is why the three tribes have been holding on to Shouchun tightly and unwilling to leave!
Because the people there, as long as they mention Fu Chu even a little bit, most of them support it.
Xiang Yu continued.
"Although our Xiang clan's reputation is not weak, there is still a big gap between the three clans."
"Originally, there were three tribes that had no chance with us, but it's different now!"
"My nephew heard that some people who fled from Jiujiang said that the three tribes had lost control of Shouchun!"
"There are foreign people who are secretly manipulating it. The Chu people in Jiujiang are living a very difficult life, and many of them are forced to survive!"
"If we go to Jiujiang to help at this moment, no matter what method we use, we will surely win the hearts and minds of the people of Jiujiang."
"The trouble will never be the petty quarrel it is now."
These words made everyone present nod.
Xiang Liang even praised it.
"That's very well said!"
"I also want to inform everyone today! I have received accurate information!"
"The 500,000-strong Qin army that invaded Baiyue in the south has been defeated several times. As a result, Qin Shihuang had to secretly mobilize an army to support them. The remaining army was carefully guarding against the Huns in the north. Now the Qin Dynasty is completely empty."
"Even rebellions like this in Jiujiang can only be quelled by the military strength of the surrounding counties!"
"Now is a good time to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and restore the six kingdoms!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was excited.
"Every big family is ready to make a move now, and even the governor of Kuaiji is hesitant!"
"We have been secretly saving for several years. We have hundreds of strong men and thousands of followers!"
"If we want to move, we must seize the opportunity to capture Shouchun and occupy Jiujiang!"
"Using this as a starting point to call on us Chu people to resist will get twice the result with half the effort!"
Xiang Yu clenched his fists when he heard this.
"In the city of Shouchun alone, there are nearly 100,000 people! Their relatives and friends are almost all over Jiuchu!"
"It can be said that gaining the support of the people of Shouchun is equivalent to gaining the will of half of the Chu people!"
Xiang Yu already understood Xiang Liang's purpose.
But Xiang Bo beside him frowned.
"But at this moment, Jiujiang Shouchun is besieged by Sichuan Huaiyang County, what can we do if we go!"
"Is it possible to rescue the Shouchun foreign tribe?"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Liang laughed.
"That's why I was given the chance! I've got the news!"
"In order to prevent local unrest in each county, Da Qin has issued an order to recall the armies of Huaiyang and Sichuan counties."
"Almost gave up Jiujiang completely!"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it.
"It seems like Da Qin really has no power left!"
But before he finished speaking, Xiang Bo frowned and said.
"But they can't capture it! Can we capture it?"
Then he looked directly at Xiang Liang.
"You'd better stop going around the bush!"
Xiang Liang smiled helplessly and could only tell everything about his plan.
"Although we have this news, it is not enough for us to take risks. After all, Qin Shihuang is still alive and well!"
“It’s still unclear whether Shouchun is Da Qin’s trap or not!”
“But it’s important to start an uprising sooner rather than later! If we miss the opportunity, it will be too late for us to win over people’s hearts when others succeed!”
Xiang Liang frowned his thick eyebrows.
"So I have already discussed it with Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji County."
"Since Huaiyang and Sichuan counties can send troops to help, why can't our county?"
"The imperial court ordered the two armies to evacuate, but Kuaiji has not received it yet!"
"Take advantage of this opportunity! We can use Yin Tong's name to raise troops to aid Jiujiang!"
"When the time comes, distribute our people among the army and lead the uprising!"
"We don't need to capture the most difficult city of Shouchun! We just need to penetrate the three small cities of Zhongli, Yinling, and Quyang from behind and capture Dayi."
"If Jiujiang is a trap, we can say that we are suppressing the rebellion of Da Qin."
"If later, there are actions in various places and the Qin Dynasty is really in turmoil, then we can directly revolt to restore Chu."
"We gathered troops to capture Shouchun. Externally, we couldn't bear to see foreigners bullying the Chu people, but Da Qin didn't care!"
"In this way, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend! My righteousness is mine. Regardless of success or failure, it will be beneficial but not harmful!"
These words made everyone present feel energetic.
Uncle Xiang also widened his eyes.
"What a wonderful move!"
