Chapter 67, divergent routes

Xu Fan looked at Zhang Er in surprise at this time. His strategy was extremely feasible. Did Chen Sheng in history not listen to Zhang Er's words, or did Zhang Er never seek refuge with Chen Sheng in history?

To truly implement Zhang Er's strategy, with the idiotic virtue of Qin II, Chen Sheng would not be able to defeat Qin, but at least he would be able to persist for a few more years.

Later, Xu Fan suddenly thought that Chen Sheng quickly became the king, which meant that he didn't listen to Zhang Er at all.

This is the limitation of the leaders of the peasant uprising. They may not lack the determination to rebel, but it is difficult for them to see the road ahead clearly and make the right choice.

Zhou Zhang thought for a while and said: "It is too early to be king at this time, but with the current scale of our rebel army, it is indeed unreasonable to not have a title. My lord can first be appointed as the general of Guozhu. This title will not arouse the resentment of the nobles of Chu." , and can unite the people of Chu."

Chu State is a powerful country that has existed for more than 800 years. It stopped fighting against the Emperor of Zhou hundreds of years ago and was also the first prince to claim the throne. The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods are the history of war between the Central Plains princes and the Chu State. The kings of Chu in the past dynasties were very ambitious and wanted to establish a system different from that in the Central Plains. The vassal states in the Central Plains generally had prime ministers and prime ministers. In the State of Chu, they were Ling Yin. In the Central Plains, those who commanded the army were generals and generals. In the State of Chu, they Get a General Shang Guozhu. General Shang Guozhu's status is not low. He is the number one person in the military and is also Ling Yin's assistant, equivalent to the status of deputy prime minister.

Zhou Zhang's opinion is equivalent to each side taking a step back. It is neither too radical nor too conservative.

Xu Fan didn't know this. He thought that General Shang Guozhu was the title of an ordinary general, so he smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, this is a good suggestion. The intention of making the king is temporarily on hold. Thirty thousand people in one county can be called the king. We The rebels will be ridiculed by the people of the world for being crowned by the monkeys."

"The title of a king will not only increase the hostility of the Qin army towards us, but also reduce our allies in Chu. This is a harmful thing but no benefit. It just adds a little false reputation. This kind of thing is completely unacceptable. Pick.

Since the strength of our rebel army is far different from that of the Qin army, we need to win more friends and less enemies. In our current situation, the most suitable thing to do is to accumulate food, build more walls, and train soldiers. The common people publicize the policies of our rebel army, let them know that we are fighting for them, and strive for their approval. "

Zhang Er looked at Xu Fan a little surprised, surprised that Xu Fan could resist the temptation to become king, but surprised that Xu Fan was not wooing nobles and nobles, but ordinary people, which made him a little confused.

It’s not his fault. In the past three generations to the end of Qin Dynasty, the world has not experienced a peasant uprising. Naturally, it does not understand the energy contained in the peasants. Historically, the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising was the first time that peasant forces appeared on the stage of history. After thousands of The feudal history of the past dynasties is a history of whether the heroes of the past dynasties can win over the power of farmers. If they can win over farmers, powerful world hegemons like the Han and Tang Dynasties will appear. If they cannot win over the power of farmers or even despise the power of farmers, there will be two Jin and two Song Dynasties. This kind of rubbish dynasty was beaten by barbarians.

Zhang Er is already considered a person with strategic vision in this world, but it is impossible for them to understand the forces they have not seen before, so the strategies they formulated are also to win over the power of nobles and powerful people, but in this era, it cannot be said to be wrong of.

But Xu Fan is a person from later generations. He understands that the power of the people is the most powerful force in the world. To a certain extent, the various rebel armies in the late Qin Dynasty stole the power of the people who were dissatisfied with the Qin State to complete the project. own dominance.

Xu Fan continued: "So the next strategy for our rebel army is to train soldiers and officers, enhance the combat effectiveness of our rebel army, recruit talents, take control of the entire Chen County political power, publicize the policies of our rebel army to the people of Chen County, and mobilize the entire Chen County The people are used by our rebel army."

Xu Fan didn't have to choose whether to fight as a rogue or to build a base. The history of later generations told Xu Fan which was the correct strategy. Chen Yu originally admired Xu Fan for resisting his greed and not becoming the king of Chu, but when he heard that Xu Fan had no ambition to stay in Chen County, he felt disappointed. He handed over Xu Fan politely and said: "General, if you only want to be the master of Chen County, Please let me leave."

"Bold!" Chen Yu's words made the upper management of the rebel army change their expressions. Yingbu even pulled out his long sword.

Zhang Er immediately stood in front of Chen Yu and protected his younger brother.

And Xu Fan also scolded Ying Sermon: "Now that we are discussing matters, of course we must speak freely. What are you doing with your sword drawn? Stand down."

Yingbu could only withdraw his sword.

Then Xu Fan looked at Chen Yu and smiled bitterly: "You two have been hiding their names for more than ten years to resist Qin. I can understand your desire to destroy Qin. However, although our rebel army has 3 people, we only have a few soldiers with military experience." There are thousands of people, but there are less than a hundred officers who know the art of war and can command operations. To put it bluntly, the rebels are a rabble.

The reason why we were able to occupy Chen County was, firstly, because of the strength of our numbers, and secondly, because we cut off the Qin army’s food routes. In frontal combat, the rebels could not even defeat the 1 Qin army. Although the Qin army in Chen County was wiped out, the Qin army The country still has an army of one million. If the rebel army does not take advantage of this short period of time to train soldiers and officers and improve the combat effectiveness of the rebel army, otherwise, the next time the Qin army comes, our rebel army will be defeated. I also want to fight out, but I am not strong enough. "

Just kidding, these 30,000 people are not yet fully under control. If we really fight, the number of rebels may expand very quickly, even to millions, but there will definitely be many mountains inside, and they will become the key target of Qin State. Xu Fan can Knowing that the first person to revolt in all dynasties never became the final winner, he did not want to be cannon fodder for people like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

Zhang Er immediately said: "It is precisely because the enemy is strong and we are weak that the rebel army has to fight out and add more enemies to the Qin State. Only then can the rebel army have the possibility of survival. I also think what you said, general, is reasonable. The rebel army does need to be trained, but Chen Jun There are only more than 3 households and 3 soldiers. General, even if you train these 3 soldiers to be as powerful as the Qin Guards, these 5 soldiers alone cannot be the opponent of Qin's million-strong army. Rebel Army Only by fighting out and uniting with the martyrs of the other five Kanto countries to fight against Qin can we have a chance of survival."

At this time, Wu Cheng said: "What Zhang Daxia said is right. The rebels in Chen County can recruit 3 people. There will also be people who are dissatisfied with Qin in other counties. If each county can have tens of thousands of rebels, Qin's hundreds of Wan Xiong’s army is not invincible.”

Xu Fan asked: "Does everyone agree with the strategy of fighting out?"

Generals such as Qin Jia, Wu Chen, Ying Bu, Chen Lin, and Wu Sheng all believed that the rebels should fight out and continue to expand their power. However, Zhou Zhang, Chen Xiao and others recognized Xu Fan's strategy of laying a solid foundation.
