Seeing that there was still no result for a while at the city gate, Wu Ming turned around, found the leader of the disaster victims he had supported, and asked him to quickly gather his people and hide in the mountains as soon as it got dark, and then discuss countermeasures.

"Xiang Shi has always regarded the common people as dust. If you let them know that there is an epidemic outside the city, you will be killed." Wu Ming knew that this group of people would not understand, so he threw out the reason and let them do it themselves. choice.

Xiang Yu's "tyrannical" nature is not only unique to him, in fact, the folk customs in the whole Chu area are like this, domineering and unruly.At that time, the countries in the Central Plains called the Chu people Nanman, and after Xiang Yu occupied Xianyang City, he was also ridiculed as the Monkey Mu.According to the later "Chu History", "Chu people are regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains, and China by the barbarians." The so-called barbarians are rude, let alone unreasonable.

Although the Xiang family is not from the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, the arrogance of the Chu people has been thoroughly inherited by them. From the skin to the flesh and blood, there is no lack of arrogance and arrogance.Being used to the gentry, they are used to being above the top, and they don't care about the life and death of the people below, and they are even more dismissive of the common people.Liu Bang would at least use the three chapters of the contract to buy people's hearts, but his uncle and nephew Xiang Yu only wanted to achieve hegemony, and did not consider the origin and foundation of the hegemony at all.

Many people in later generations admired Xiang Yu's uncle, thinking that Xiang Yu had become the overlord of Western Chu because of his uncle's glory, but they didn't know that his uncle Xiang Liang also committed the same problem as Xiang Yu. After defeating the Qin army, he arrogantly underestimated the enemy, but the Qin army, which he thought would be defeated, counterattacked, so he was defeated and killed.

The process and results of the Chu-Han War are very similar to the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in later generations. Xiang Yu led 40 Chu troops plus 20 surrendered troops but lost to Liu Bei, who had less than [-] troops. The aircraft and artillery of later generations also lost to Xiaomi. .In the words of Mencius, it is called "the one who gets the right will get more help, but the one who loses the right will get little help", and in the lyrics of later generations, it is called "the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world". In Wu Ming's experience, it is to have meat with others, and to have food with you If you don’t have to eat, who will work hard for you?

The reason why some people lose is because they have too little cake and few beneficiaries.And the reason why some people win is because they can let the vast majority of people participate.Even if many people get only one bite of the cake, and more people can only smell it next to it, it can be rendered as a benefit.In the words of later generations, it is called equal sharing of interests, and the emphasis is on participation.

But Chu Bawang and the descendants of the Xiang family will not admit this.

At this moment, they will only eradicate the obstacles in front of the target, and will never bother to buy people's hearts among the victims. Instead, they will regard the epidemic among the victims as one of the obstacles and remove them.

Wu Ming hates fearless sacrifice the most, not to mention he has other expectations for these victims, and he cannot allow others to violate them.But today's Wu Ming has long since lost the spirit of "shouting when he sees injustice". He only does what he can, and if the other party wants to die, he will never stop him.

Fortunately, most of these victims were terrified. Even if Xiang's army did not show up, they would try to escape.

The gate of the city was still not opened after all, and Xiang's army did not forcefully attack the city. They turned around and set up camp in the open space that had just been cleared by the officers and soldiers in the city.

Affected by them, the officers and soldiers who were left outside the city to guard the victims were completely absent-minded, and they disappeared before the victims took any action.

With the demonstration of these officers and soldiers, the victims who were still three points hesitant could not help but feel that they would rather believe it.

That night, most of the victims took advantage of the darkness to escape.

But these people didn't go far, firstly because they didn't have the physical strength, secondly because there was no better place to go, and thirdly because their leaders had already been bewitched by Wu Ming to fish in troubled waters, and they couldn't bear it at all. leave.

Wu Ming doesn't have the talent of eloquence. Fortunately, ambition doesn't need to be cultivated with gorgeous rhetoric. It only needs to analyze the current situation rigorously, and add a few sentences such as "The prince and general Xiangning have kindness." ", the seeds of ambition will sprout automatically.

If it was the past, the seeds of ambition might not be so easy to take root and germinate, but now they are on the brink of desperation, and if they do nothing, they will only be slaughtered. Even if they escape, they will not be able to avoid the end of starvation.Anyway, failure is nothing but death, and if it succeeds, it will be a blessing and fortune.

Wu Ming also left with the victims, on the one hand to gain trust, and on the other hand because he had to know where their new stronghold was before he could hack them.

No matter how far these people's ambitions grow, if Wu Ming is not behind the push and they are only allowed to rebel in the normal way, then they may not even be able to cross the moat, let alone enter Xianyang City, another day The day has changed.

In the morning of the next day, the suspension bridge in Xianyang City was finally lowered, and an official led several entourages on horseback to Xiang's barracks.Not long after, the general who wanted to enter the city yesterday left the barracks with a dozen guards, the young general who was trying to break the iron lock of the suspension bridge, and the officials, and rushed into Xianyang City.

This time, there was no movement.

Wu Ming really wanted to know what was going on in the city, but he couldn't do anything during the day, so he could only wait until the night, and then he cast his spell and went to the Princess Mansion where Yan Heng was temporarily staying.

Yan Heng had no eyeliner in the palace, he only knew that members of the Xiang family entered the palace in the morning, and then did not come out again.But Yan Heng was not the only one paying attention to the palace, he was just watching, but some people had already taken action.

Before Wu Ming went out to investigate by himself, Wu Dong flew over.

Wu Dong has been acting as a carrier pigeon for a while, wandering back and forth among Shang Gui, Yan Heng, and Wu Ming, and even went back to Liaodong once during the period.

This time, it was also because the Shang Gui had received some news, so he hurriedly released Wu Dong and asked him to send a note to Wu Ming, with only one sentence on it——

It's time to zoom in.

Natives like Yan Heng certainly don't know what the big move refers to. Only people like Wu Ming who come from later generations and often play games will understand the hints in it.

A few days ago, some people in Xianyang City, especially some monks, were already impatient with the royal family's inaction.Some monks who are good at divination are even more urgent, and even want to abandon the emperor and cast Jiuding by themselves, so as to stabilize the world first.

Yesterday, as soon as Xiang's army showed up, everyone immediately understood the reason for the royal family's inaction - it was just to pass the time, waiting for Xiang's army to come.

Now, the Xiang family has finally come to support her family and army, but many forces in Xianyang City are also annoyed by her actions.

use force?

Don't we have no private soldiers in our hands, we can't deal with it, and we will be afraid of you?

On the night that Xiang's general entered the palace, the city of Xianyang became lively, some joined forces everywhere, and some dispatched troops.

Just after the fourth watch, before the sun rose in the east, a group of impatient guys rushed to the palace with swords and armor, and put on a posture of forcing the palace.

They were still halfway, and half of Xianyang City became restless.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, the gates of several mansions opened, and groups of private soldiers in different clothes poured out, also rushing towards the palace.

Wu Ming and Yan Heng stood on a high place and witnessed the whole process with binoculars.

The first group of people seemed impatient, but in fact they were just stones thrown by a certain force. Their main purpose was to explore the way and test the psychological reactions of various forces in Xianyang City.If this reaction is in line with their expectations, then this stone will be turned into a paving foundation while exploring the way, creating conditions and excuses for them to formally force the palace.

People in this day and age always think that the rebellion is successful only when they conquer the capital, occupy the palace, and sit on the throne.

Right now, all the forces in the city are also trying to launch a coup before the Queen Mother Xiang, take Xianyang, and seal the world in one fell swoop.

But the Xiang family in the palace will naturally not sit still.

As early as when monks like Shang Gui settled in Xianyang City, the Xiang family concentrated all the troops in the city that could be controlled in the palace, and left the defense of Xianyang City to the "loyal" generals.Now, such an arrangement came in handy. The people who forced the palace were stopped as soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, and the inside of the palace also quickly ignited the beacon of news, allowing the Xiang's army outside the city to come in for rescue.

However, with a few secrets, Xiang never expected that the military generals stationed in Xianyang City would choose to stand on the sidelines at this time. They neither participated in forcing the palace nor rescued them. Go out, let alone allow outsiders to come in.

Xiang's army was also stopped outside.

Perhaps, the garrison officer on the city purposely closed the gate to prevent them from entering the city.

"The first emperor—that so-and-so, has always been extremely wary of the Xiang family." Seeing this scene, Yan Heng couldn't help but say, "The garrison officer in Xianyang City is the most loyal, perhaps he is so resolute because of some orders from him."

"Could it be that Xiang's army will wait outside obediently because he closed the city gate?" Wu Ming curled his lips in disdain.

"Based on my understanding of the Xiang family..." Yan Heng sighed, "No."

As Wu Ming and Yan Heng predicted, Xiang's army only waited for ten minutes at the base of the city before moving out of the ladder and attacking the city by force.

Obviously, before they came, they were ready for a strong attack, and they brought all the equipment.

Wu Ming wished that they would lose both sides in the fight, so he naturally sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, watching the excitement.

But before the attackers and defenders could tell which one was strong or weak, another army appeared in the morning sun, and at first glance it looked like a heavenly army.

The cheers of the defenders in the city revealed the position of the army, and Yan Heng also recognized the identity of the leader after looking through the binoculars.

"It's the forbidden army stationed in Xianyang." Yan Heng said, "If I remember correctly, one of Ying Han's wives is the daughter of the general of the forbidden army."

"Daughter who gets married, water that gets thrown out." Wu Ming said pointedly.

Yan Heng was slightly taken aback, and then found that the new army had already confronted Xiang's army, but the city gate was still closed.

There is quite a distance between the city gate and Yan Heng's current location, and Yan Heng doesn't have the smooth spells of Wu Ming, so he can only hear a little messy noise, but just by looking at the performance of the opposing sides, one can guess that they are not A plan to join together.

Sure enough, the confrontation lasted less than a cup of tea, and the two armies were intertwined, and the melee was officially staged.

The Imperial Army's strength is nearly half that of Xiang's, and their equipment and weapons are no more advantageous than their opponents. If they fight head-on like this, it will only be a matter of time before they are defeated.

The commander of the imperial army is not stupid. The reason why he dared to hit duck eggs with eggs is naturally because he has a way to turn eggs into pebbles.

Before the armies of both sides were completely mixed, and the soldiers in the second half were still waiting for the space in front to die, a gust of wind suddenly rose up, wrapped in sand and stones, and blew towards Xiang's army.
