Chapter 612: You Are Here, of Course You Have to Play a Big One!

Looking at the options in front of him, Zhao Lang was slightly startled, then his thoughts changed rapidly.

The reward for killing Xiang Yu is actually insignificant.

I won’t talk about the Overlord Halberd and the Wuzui Horse.

Although it is a top-quality weapon and vehicle, he already has Sha Po Lang. In these few battles, he can face the Overlord Halberd head-on.

The horse doesn't matter either.

As for the power of the Overlord, isn't Xiang Yu, who has the power of the Overlord, trapped here?

After gunpowder came out, personal bravery was no longer the most important thing.

Is it possible that he can often charge personally in the future?

Therefore, what he should consider here is the consequences of killing or releasing Xiang Yu.

Letting Xiang Yu go will reward the expansion of Chinese civilization.

This reward is a bit general, but Zhao Lang can roughly guess it based on the system's urine properties.

Expelling Xiang Yu means letting him deal with foreigners.

Zhao Lang felt slightly moved in his heart.

After pacifying Chu, he would first focus on stabilizing and developing Qin.

Dad's plan to destroy the Six Kingdoms and then build Chidao, the Great Wall and other major projects indeed cost a lot of people, material and financial resources.

After that, he triggered the rebellion of the Six Kingdoms in advance and the battle between Qin and Chu, which also consumed a lot of money. Just look at how many people are old and young in the countryside now.

You know that the people of the world have reached the edge of exhaustion.

Of course, he has no regrets. He must do what needs to be done and fight what needs to be done.

Otherwise, after the end of Qin Dynasty, China's population dropped from 20 million to several million.

More than ten million people were killed or injured!

That is a human tragedy.

But now, he must give ordinary people at least ten years of cultivation time!

Otherwise, there will be a gap in the population.

During this period, it seems to be a good choice to have someone go out and lay a solid foundation for the future.

With Xiang Yu's temperament, expansion must involve killing all the way to make the opponent surrender, which will inevitably arouse resistance.

After all, expansion does not mean that you just occupy it.

Were there not many people who were trapped in the quagmire of conquest wars in the previous life?

Assimilation and affiliation are never something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

But if after these people have suffered for more than ten years, a kind king appears...

Thinking of this, Zhao Lang did not put down his bow, but loosened the string in his hand!

Then he said loudly,

"Ayu, suffer death!"

The bow and arrow galloped towards Xiang Yu!

Only a tiny glow of fire could be seen in the dark night.

No one can block this arrow!

There was also a trace of despair in Xiang Yu's expression. He could actually knock the arrow away and even catch it.

But what then?

The power of this arrow does not lie in the arrow itself, but in the small bamboo tube.

Even if he can carry one arrow, he has absolutely no ability to withstand the second one!

It is better to die calmly!

So Xiang Yu stared at the arrow, and he would not back down even if he died!

Then he watched the streak of fire fly diagonally above him.

It went straight up into the sky, and then burst out into a brilliant fire in the night sky.

Seeing this scene, everyone was slightly stunned.

Zhao Lang looked at the sky with great interest, thinking about making fireworks if he had time.

After a period of silence, Xiang Yu asked a little dryly,

"Why?"

Others also looked at Zhao Lang with some confusion.

Zhao Lang said calmly,

"I have already killed you, now I need you to do something for all the people in the world."

Xiang Yu was startled for a moment, then laughed and said,

"For all the people in the world?"

"Zhao Lang, Yafu is right, you are just a person who acts in the name of benevolence and righteousness!"

He had already seen Fan Zeng and Xiang Bo who were detained behind Zhao Lang, and he naturally knew in his heart that he had fallen into the trap of alienation.

Zhao Lang shook his head slightly and replied,

"Ayu, don't you understand where you lost?"

Xiang Yu snorted coldly at this time,

"Zhao Lang, I know that you are now the head of hundreds of schools such as Confucianism, Mohism, Fanong, etc., and each family has its own layout. I will not lose unjustly!"

"But if you say it's for all the people in the world, what else is that but hypocrisy?"

With some anger, Xiang Yu continued,

"I ask you, when the Qin State encircled and killed Zhao State's 400,000 surrendered troops, did you have all the people in the world in your heart?"

"When we are fighting against the six kingdoms, we will have all the people in the world!"

"After unifying the six kingdoms, conquering thousands of people to build Chidao, building the Great Wall, Epang Palace, and Lishan Tomb, all the people in the world can be conquered!"

"You said it was for the great cause of the world, then why not for the great cause of the world for me!"

"My king is just subjugating the people of the land now, but I am not as thorough as your Qin State!"

"If we, the great Chu, had won this battle, these conquests would have been said to be the deeds of a strong man!"

"It's just that you have a deep foundation, strong weapons, and can win people's hearts better than me. Now you are the king and the loser!"

"But just watch! One day, you will also be attacked by these people!"

Xiang Yu's words immediately made everyone quiet down, and they couldn't help but look at Zhao Lang secretly.

Most of the people here are children of nobles. Even the so-called poor families are at the level of small landowners and above.

To a certain extent, they agree with Xiang Yu's point of view.

The reason is very simple. Without any financial resources, it is impossible to study.

As for Zhao Lang's victory, they believed it was the victory of Machiavellian tactics because the people were ignorant.

Just like these nobles, who doesn't have the means to win people's hearts?

It's just that Zhao Lang did better.

Zhao Lang was slightly silent at this time. He knew that, to a certain extent, Xiang Yu was telling the truth.

The attitude of the nobles, big and small, towards ordinary people in this world is like that of farmers towards their livestock.

You can cherish it very much, but you won’t treat it like a human being.

Once they are unable to exert their strength, it is common to give them a few whips. After they can no longer do anything, they will be killed and eaten.

To put it bluntly, even the people themselves think so.

Their highest request is just to become nobles in exchange for themselves.

This is a limitation of the feudal era, and even Zhao Lang cannot change it!

However, Zhao Lang did not agree with some of his words. He quickly replied,

"Do you really think the people are just bewitched by me?"

"Do you think that if there hadn't been that scene of family recognition yesterday, you wouldn't have been defeated?"

Xiang Yu didn't speak at this time, just snorted unruly.

Zhao Lang replied at this time,

"Actually, you have a good idea. If you don't recognize your relatives, you can even win this battle."

"But you will eventually lose, regardless of weapons or strategies."

"But because I gave the people hope!"

This is something that no one has given to the people since Xia and Shang Dynasties!

Hope for a better life!

No one can stop a person who sees hope.

It's just that other people are a little confused and they can't quite understand.

Only Fan Zeng's eyes lit up.

And Xiang Yu, after being stunned for a moment, frowned and said,

"Isn't this still an inducement?"

Zhao Lang did not explain again this time. This level is indeed beyond the understanding of ordinary people today.

Xiang Yu continued at this time,

"Moreover, you will also feed the people's appetite. When you can't satisfy it, that's when you will perish!"

Zhao Lang showed a smile,

"Great Qin may be destroyed, but my royal family will survive forever."

"Because from now on, the world will be ruled by the royal family, the common people, and the nobles and ministers!"

China has never been short of good emperors. If he just became another Qin Shi Huang or Han Wu Emperor, it would be meaningless!

By chance, he finally got here.

Come here, of course you have to play a big one!

But when they heard this, everyone was shocked and looked at Zhao Lang with a bit of disbelief!
