Chapter 99: The real purpose of the blockade plan is to attack Xianyang Palace
"Miyue?" Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Xiang Yu and Hua Mulan were subconsciously surprised.
"That's right, Miyue does master the demon path that can transform into shapes." Liu Bang said with his head bowed on the side.
"As far as I know, Mi Yue is a genius who has comprehended the demon path, and his transformation ability is almost superb...... If you can find her and let her make a move, you will definitely be able to solve the danger of Ling Chi! Zhang Liang said contemplatively.
"But you also said that Mi Yue is the queen mother of the dynasty and the queen mother of Ying Zheng herself, how can she stand on our side and help us stop Ying Zheng?" Mulan asked rhetorically.
When Mulan asked, Zhang Liang couldn't answer, which was actually something he had been worried about.
"It may not be that there is no chance to ......," Xiang Yu said, "You don't know much about some things about the Qin Chu royal family...... In fact, Mi Yue is not Ying Zheng's biological mother, she is just Ying Zheng's adoptive mother, and there is no real blood connection between them. Besides, Yingzheng is a ruthless and unrighteous person."
"But after all, they have lived together for twenty years, even if they don't have blood, they have deep blood-and hard-hearted is only Yingzheng, Miyue may not be ruthless......" Zhang Liang was still a little worried.
"There are still some situations that you may not understand...... At this time, Liu Bang suddenly said in a deep voice, "Mi Yue is actually ...... has been banned by Yingzheng. β
"Banned? She is Yingzheng's mother, even if she is not related, she has so many years of feelings! Hearing this, Mulan subconsciously asked.
"Humph! Ying Zheng did these things, is there still any emotion at all? It is not surprising that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends. Xiang Yu said angrily.
At this time, Liu Bang took out the small bat with the word "Mi" on its back from his arms and spread it in the palm of his hand. Under the gaze of everyone, the dark purple bats were fluttering gently in Liu Bang's palm.
"This is the Mi Wen Bat that Mi Yue did everything possible to release and call for help to me, and she herself has been banned by Ying Zheng for a long time......," Liu Bang sighed lightly and said, "Now that I think about it, the reason why Ying Zheng ruthlessly banned Mi Yue is probably that he knows that Mi Yue is the only person in Qin Chu who can crack Ling Chi and stop his plan." β
"Ying Zheng has already broken off what Miyue has done, and Miyue should probably be disheartened by him - therefore, as long as we can find Miyue, she has a good chance of helping us!"
After hearing Liu Bang's important message, everyone suddenly frowned and felt hopeful again.
"In that case, what we have to do is to infiltrate the Xianyang Palace and find and rescue Miyue!" Mulan said.
"Well, rescuing Miyue, this is our top priority," Zhang Liang bowed.
"Then I'll goβI'll sneak into Xianyang Palace to save Miyue." Hua Mulan looked at everyone with resolute eyes, and actually accepted this difficult task in person.
As soon as Hua Mulan's words came out, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise in their eyes.
Because it stands to reason that Hua Mulan is a native of Tang Cao in the end, and it was just the right time to get involved in this internal storm of Qin and Chu. Although she stood on the front of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, it was also for the reason of helping Zhang Liang.
So all along, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang have never and dare not give any orders or tasks to Mulan. just handed over the matter to Zhang Liang, and Mulan volunteered to accompany Zhang Liang. For example, Afang Palace, or Fengling City, Hua Mulan has always only accompanied Zhang Liang.
But now she has taken the initiative to take on such an important task.
So both Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were quite surprised by this.
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang met their eyes silently, both understanding what the other party was thinking, and both understanding each other's surprise. So Liu Bang said to Mulan: "Miss Mulan, sneaking into Xianyang Palace to save people is very important and difficult, just leave it to you alone, Xiang Yu and I are not very relieved......"
"King Han, King Chu, I dare to ask-" Hua Mulan looked at Liu Bang Xiang Yu and asked sharply, "Are you worried about Mulan's strength or Mulan's personality?" β
"Hehe~ Miss Mulan is too careful...... Liu Bang then explained with a smile, "Of course we won't doubt your character, since Xiang Yu and I can trust Zhang Liang, we must also trust you." As for strength, how dare we doubt the reputation of Tang Cao's first female swordsman and the holder of the giant sword sky? β
"It's just that there are many strong people in this Xianyang Palace, and it is unpredictable - let you take on this important task alone, we really don't worry about your safety......"
"That's right, I learned from Bai Qi's mouth just now that Han Xin broke into Xianyang Palace alone this time, was defeated on the spot, and now his life and death are uncertain." Xiang Yu also said.
"The two of you have bothered - since Mulan dares to take this important task, she must be sure in her heart." Hua Mulan said to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, "I don't dare to speculate on what situation Han Xin encountered. But the current Xianyang Palace is obviously different from before. β
"Bai Qi and Arthur are now trapped in the mausoleum city, and Bian Que must be on the way back to Afang Palace, and several masters under the Ying Zheng seat are separated from them, this is our best chance to sneak into Xianyang Palace!"
"As long as I am given a Qin Chu's return order, let me cross many obstacles and reach the core realm of Xianyang Palace, then my enemy is only Miyamoto Musashi who guards Yingzheng!"
"This Miyamoto's strength should not be underestimated!" Xiang Yu reminded him.
"I know I've heard of the Fuso Sword Saint's fame - I'm sure I'll defeat him before their reinforcements arrive. At least the odds of winning a gamble. Hua Mulan said with a firm gaze, "As long as I defeat Miyamoto, under the traction of the Mitsubia bat, I will definitely be able to find and rescue Miyue smoothly!" β
Listening to Mulan's words, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's eyes couldn't help but brighten. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed a good strategy for Mulan to sneak into Xianyang Palace and smash Huanglong directly with the Return to Source Order, although the core of Xianyang Palace has Fusang Sword Saint Miyamoto in charge, but they are also sent by the legendary blade Mulan! What are you afraid of? If you get the timing right, the odds are really good.
"So...... King Han, King Chu, what do you think? Mulan asked again.
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu raised their eyes and looked at each other in silence, obviously, they were both a little tempted.
It's a strategy worth taking a risk.
"No way!" It was not Liu Bang or Xiang Yu who spoke, it was Zhang Liang.
- Inside the city of Lingcheng.
After the people in the city were trapped, their emotions became very anxious, and their psychology became disordered, and the city was blocked by a hundred meters of light, which made them feel an instinctive fear of being bound to freedom, and under the effect of this fear, they began to instinctively look for a way to survive.
This is actually a good thing, and it was good at the beginning, and everyone is thinking rationally about how to solve the dilemma.
But over time, under the suppression of various negative emotions and fears, their behavior of seeking a way out began to become crazy.
They cut down the walls with their knives and hit the walls with their shields, but not only did they not work, but they were stunned by the fire-colored light on the walls. Then they realized the horror of the bare wall, and stood far away, smashing the wall with their weapons, but to no avail. Later, when they realized that the walls were impenetrable, they turned to other ways out of the city, some people went to dig the ground, tried to dig a tunnel in the marble floor to escape, and some people wanted to use siege engines to blast a hole in the side wall of the mausoleum to get out - these are irrational actions forced by pressure and emotion, and there is no point at all.
But they still did it stubbornly, desperately, and did not dare to stop for a moment.
When you find your world trapped within a city, the immense sense of captivity that is deprived of your freedom can terrify you and make you frantically search for a way out, whether it is useful or not, like an underwater suffocating man who craves air.
Because once you stop, you will be tormented and crazy by the sense of imprisonment in your heart!
But Bai Qi couldn't stand their crazy survival behavior, obviously they were just trapped in the city, and there was no danger to their lives, but these hundreds of thousands of people wanted to escape like they were enchanted, and they were endlessly crazy, as if they were trapped in this city not a group of people, but a group of demons and monsters.
Bai Qi couldn't stand their madness, so in a fit of rage, he slashed and killed the five soldiers in front of him, and it was not the previous rebels who killed them, but five loyal Praetorian Guards.
Hot blood splattered from the scythe blades and splashed on the faces of the other soldiers who were still frantic, killing chickens and monkeys, and the more than twenty people trapped in the city fell silent one after another.
Looking at the blood dripping all over the ground, the fear of death overshadowed all emotions in their hearts, forcing everyone to calm down.
As such, the atmosphere began to become calmer...... It is even said that there is some dead silence.
Bai Qi gasped for a cloudy breath, wiped the warm blood stains from the scythe with his hand, and then breathed in the quiet air stained with blood
The investigation of the granary and the canal in Lingcheng has been reported, and Arthur personally led the team, there is no problem, the granary and the canal are all right, and there have been heavy guards outside the granary, and there has never been an accident.
Food and water are also abundant, and according to the current situation, these 200,000 people will not starve to death even if they are trapped in the city for two months.
It seems that this is a very reassuring situation, but Bai Qi's heart is not at ease, he can't be trapped in the city for two months.
But what made him even more uneasy was that he couldn't figure out why Zhang Liang and the others didn't come to destroy the granary and the canal?
Can't do it?
No way! Although Roaming had already arranged heavy guards outside the granary of Lingcheng, they might be able to stop the others, but they definitely couldn't stop Liu Bang, who had the power of space.
Too late?
It can't be either! Since Liu Bang had time to blow up the arsenal where the Demon Dao Staff was stored, he naturally had time to destroy the granary and canal first. Destroying food and water is a much heavier blow to them than blowing up the Demon Staff, and it's devastating!
Ignored?
It's even more unlikely! Extremely wise as Zhang Liang, how could he ignore this crucial point that led to their death? Not to mention him, even Liu Bang and Xiang Yu could think of how terrifying the blow of the grain cut was to an army!
"Since they can't do it, it's not too late, and it's impossible to ignore itβwhy didn't they blow up the weapons depot and destroy the granaries and canals at the same time?" Bai Qi fell into a deep question of confusion in his heart.
"Why? Why? Why should we cut off all our ways out and leave us alive at the same time? In the rhetorical question, it was full of Bai Qi's struggle and puzzle.
"Don't they want to kill us?" Bai Qi suddenly had such an idea, but at the same time, he himself laughed at the ridiculousness of this idea in his heart.
But then in a trance, Bai Qi's sneer stopped silently, and his consciousness froze on the sudden thought just now-"Could it be...... They don't want to kill us at all......"
- "No! When Zhang Liang spit out these two words, the expressions of the people present were obviously stunned, obviously they didn't expect Zhang Liang to say a negative thing, especially Mulan.
In Xiang Yu Liu Bang's view, this strategy is fast, unexpected, and has a high chance of winning, which is a good strategy worth trying.
In Mulan's opinion, she really wants to share some of the weight on her shoulders for Zhang Liang at this critical moment, and she is very confident in her strength, all of this is not bad.
But Zhang Liang denied it.
"Nope." Zhang Liang stared at the doubts in everyone's eyes and said again.
"Why did the ovary say that...... In our opinion, the feasibility rate of this strategy to rescue Miyue is very high. Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang and asked. When he spoke, he actually had some guesses in his heart, I am afraid that Zhang Liang was worried about Mulan's personal safety before he said no.
However, Liu Bang only asked Zhang Liang euphemistically, but Mulan on the side opened up at this time.
"Liangliang, don't worry about me, I have a sense of proportion!" Hua Mulan stared into Zhang Liang's eyes and said firmly.
"I'm not just worried about you-" Zhang Liangning frowned, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "You have ignored one person-Ying Zheng!" β
When the words fell, a cold light flashed in everyone's eyes.
"All along, you have been blinded by Yingzheng's scheming and ruthlessness, leading you to subconsciously think that he is just a master of power and is good at taking advantage of other people's powers, and you have never faced his strength, right?"
was asked by Zhang Liang, whether it was Xiang Yu or Liu Bang, they were all stunned, and even Mulan's gaze was a little frozen.
"Have any of you ever thought that maybe Yingzheng is very strong, do any of you have an exact grasp of Yingzheng's strength?" Zhang Liang asked in a deep voice, "Have any of you ever thought about it-since Ying Zheng has the ability to ban Mi Yue, who is proficient in the demon path, how much strength do we have to use to rescue Mi Yue under his obstruction?" β
"What do you have for the ovary?" Liu Bang pondered and asked.
"That's right, Ovary, you say, since you have analyzed the problem so clearly, it's up to you to make a decision." Xiang Yu also said in a deep voice.
Hua Mulan also stared at Zhang Liang silently.
"Strong army raid!" Zhang Liang looked at the confused eyes of everyone and said these four words in a firm voice.
"It's definitely not enough to send only one person to sneak into Xianyang Palace to save people, we must choose a more stable path - send troops to attack Xianyang directly!"
When Zhang Liang's words fell, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, and Hua Mulan were all shocked in their eyes - directly attacking Xianyang Palace City, this is too crazy.
"My idea is like this-the strongest beast army led by the King of Chu bypassed the sealed mausoleum city from the tunnel, and then marched on the shortcut road, day and night, and will definitely be able to reach Xianyang Palace City within ten days! At the same time that the King of Chu's troops attacked the Xianyang Palace, Lan Lan then used the Return to the Source Order to travel to the Origin Spiritual Land and enter the core area of the Xianyang Palace, so that the siege war of the King of Chu could fully attract the attention of the entire imperial city, create more time and opportunities for Lan Lan, and even divert Yingzheng's attention. β
"In this way, our plan to rescue Miyue has enough chance of winning!"
"So, do you want me to lead the army to feint and attack Xianyang Palace City to help Mulan's rescue operation?" Xiang Yu said in a deep voice.
"Nope! Not a feint! Zhang Liang stared at Xiang Yu's gaze and said, "I want King Chu to really attack Xianyang Palace, break through the imperial city, and break the throne!" β
"This in itself was the core of my previous plan, but now it is combined with the plan to rescue Miyue."
"Now the army that Yingzheng has been preparing for three years has been cracked by us, and his Imperial City Guards, even Bai Qi and Arthur, are trapped in Lingcheng - now, it is the weakest time for Xianyang Palace, that is, the best time for us to attack the Imperial Palace!"
"I went out of the city to trap Bai Qi and them, not only to avoid the frontal battlefield and delay time, but also to bypass them and directly attack Xianyang Palace City!"
