PFC Chapter 173 What do you think, sir? Is the latter part the main purpose?
Chapter 173 What do you think, sir? Is the latter part the main purpose?
"Naturally, we're going there for the rewards from the immortals."
Xiang Yu snorted coldly.
"Of course, if I could also cut off your head, you treacherous villain, while I'm at it, I would be even more delighted!"
Liu Bang: “…”
Judging from your excited expression, what do you think is the main purpose behind that?
"Emperor Qin Shi Huang, you'd better think this through. If you really choose him, and he changes his mind at the last minute, this brute can kill you with ease!"
Liu Bang subtly tried to sow discord between Ying Zheng and Qin Shi Huang.
Although I know that whatever happens during the challenge will not have any impact on my real life.
But that's the problem.
Who wants to watch themselves die a horrible death for no reason?
If Ying Zheng had actually chosen Xiang Yu, Liu Bang would have no doubt that he would have met a terrible end in this challenge!
“Liu Bang was a villain. He might have done the same thing, but I wouldn’t.”
"I fear this is the immortals' final assessment, and there will be no more challenges afterward. Therefore, I want to obtain my reward in this final challenge on the list of tyrants."
Xiang Yu quickly replied.
He has always been the type of person who doesn't like to explain himself to others.
But today, in order to seize this opportunity, he is willing to explain.
He even went so far as to explain to Qin King Ying Zheng, whom he once hated the most.
In any case, as long as he can get the immortal's reward, he will be able to return to the former Chu Kingdom.
At that time, it will be truly meaningful for him to make some changes!
"I am not afraid of you, but if I choose you, what can you do for me? You have no prestige and it will be difficult for you to rebuild the Qin army. Compared to Bai Qi and Meng Tian, what are your advantages?"
Ying Zheng did not care about the grudges between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
He could even disregard the hatred that Xiang Yu, a remnant of the Chu state, harbored towards him.
He can use anything that has value.
"With an equal number of troops, I can easily defeat Meng Tian, and I will most likely defeat Bai Qi."
"In battles where the few defeat the many, neither of these two can compare to me."
"And if it weren't for me, neither Meng Tian nor Bai Qi could have stopped me in that era!"
This is Xiang Yu's confidence.
On the battlefield, he will only be defeated by himself!
No one, except himself, could defeat him on the battlefield!
Liu Bang: “…”
He really wanted to say that, in fact, Xiang Yu also lost on the main battlefield in the final battle at Gaixia.
But after thinking about it, I still didn't have the nerve to ask.
After all, the Han army mobilized 600,000 troops in the Battle of Gaixia.
And this happened after he suddenly broke the peace agreement...
"But Meng Tian is able to gather a large enough army for me in a short time."
The border troops were Zhang Han's surrendered soldiers and Zhao Tuo's army from the Baiyue region.
And those defeated soldiers who were routed throughout the Qin Dynasty.
"If even the reputation of the First Emperor is not enough to gather them, then what use is adding Meng Tian?"
"I said, no one but myself could stand up to me during that period!"
This is a source of pride unique to Xiang Yu.
If Ying Zheng wanted to defend Xianyang, he could only rely on him!
No one but himself could stop him in his youth!
Ying Zheng: “…”
He had personally witnessed Xiang Yu's two participations in the challenge against the immortals, so he naturally had a clear understanding of his abilities.
With fewer than 100,000 troops, Xiang Yu was probably no match for anyone on the main battlefield!
As for large-scale battles involving more than 100,000 troops, Bai Qi might have a slight advantage.
But where did the Qin Dynasty get its 100,000-strong army at this point in time?
"Choose me! With five thousand Jiangdong soldiers, I can defeat Liu Bang and buy you time to consolidate your army!"
Xiang Yu urged him again.
The immortals give a limited amount of time to make a choice.
If you fail to make a choice within this limited time, it is equivalent to accepting your participation in the challenge.
"I have chosen... Xiang Ji."
Seeing that the light screen in front of him was about to disappear, Ying Zheng said in a low voice.
He did not choose Meng Tian, the military commander he trusted most, nor did he choose Wu An Jun, who was in charge of securing the Qin Dynasty.
Although these two were safer for him, as Xiang Yu said.
After choosing these two, they weren't very confident they could fight against Xiang Yu.
Rather than doing that, we might as well take a risk.
Ying Zheng didn't know how much longer he had to live.
However, judging from the immortals' inventory, the remaining lifespan should be less than the twenty years that need to be reduced.
In other words, once the challenge failed, regardless of whether Xiang Yu would renege on his promise and kill him during the challenge, he would not be able to return alive.
To be honest, signing up for this challenge was an unwise decision for Ying Zheng.
But he felt he needed to participate.
The calamities that led to the downfall of each dynasty were all resolved by the founding emperor himself.
As the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, facing a Qin Dynasty that had perished after only two generations, he naturally had to change everything!
[Challenge participant: Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng; Assistant challenger: Xiang Yu.]
Xiang Yu led 5,000 soldiers from Jiangdong, while Ying Zheng led 5,000 soldiers from the Meng family army.
【The challenge begins! 】
Meng Family Army?
Many people outside the canopy were somewhat stunned when they saw this choice.
The Meng family army was also quite capable in combat.
However, whether in terms of combat strength or actual battle achievements, the Qin army should be more suitable for this challenge.
After all, the Qin Dynasty was conquered by the Qin people themselves!
But as the images on the sky gradually appeared, Liu Bang suddenly realized what was happening, though he was still somewhat bewildered.
"You can actually play like this?!"
"First Emperor, are you exploiting a loophole in the immortals' abilities?!"
"I won't talk about others, but what's going on between Meng Tian and Meng Yi?"
"We agreed that you could only bring one person to assist you, but you chose Xiang Ji, so you're also bringing along the two Meng brothers, right?"
Before he started his rebellion, Liu Bang had taken people to Xianyang to transport corvée labor on several occasions, and had the good fortune to meet these two members of the Meng family.
So this is what you wanted to achieve by leading the Meng family army!
"I understand!"
"This must be an operation tacitly approved by the immortals!"
"We've been saying this all along: if you're allowed to bring a large army to participate in the challenge and can even choose which army to bring, why can't you specify a certain time period and certain people?"
Old Zhu suddenly realized.
Did Ying Zheng do anything wrong?
no problem!
The immortal said he could bring one assistant, so he brought Xiang Yu.
Then the immortal said that no one could bring an army of no more than five thousand people to participate.
Therefore, he chose the Meng family army.
Is it normal that Meng Tian and Meng Yi were in the Meng family army?
That's perfectly normal!
It's just that no one had thought of it this way before, but that doesn't mean it can't be done!
Upon seeing Meng Tian and Meng Yi in front of him, Ying Zheng's expression immediately relaxed.
He was a little nervous as he entered the challenge.
Fortunately, his guess was correct.
"Ying Zheng."
Just then, Xiang Yu, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up.
Upon seeing him approach, Meng Tian immediately became alert.
"Stop right there, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I just have a couple of things to say."
“You destroyed the State of Chu, and I should hate you. But after I succeed in this challenge, I will be able to return to the State of Chu, and then our grudges will naturally be wiped clean.”
"So I will do my best in this challenge, so don't hold me back!"
