Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 463 Gathering

As for the next move, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had already planned it. The two of them cut off the heads of the three county lieutenants neatly, commanded the garrison soldiers to cut down trees, and simply built a high platform for the alliance oath.

The heads of the three county lieutenants naturally replaced livestock such as cattle and sheep, and became sacrifices for the oath.

Then Chen Sheng appointed himself as a general, and Wu Guangwei led the 900 garrison soldiers to wipe out Daze Township, which had only a dozen freelancers, and then turned to Qi County to attack.

The number of guards in a county is only a hundred and ten, and the magistrate of Qi county couldn't imagine that those guard soldiers who passed by the county would dare to rebel. When the guard soldiers arrived, they were put directly into the city.

Qixian City, which was unprepared that day, was captured by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

With the weapons, soldiers, food and grass stored in the warehouse in Qixian County, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the base in Qixian County, finally have a base.

In order to strengthen his strength, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang sent all the garrison soldiers to hold high the banners with the names of Xiang Yan and Ziying written on them to go to the township of Qi County and surrounding counties to recruit soldiers.

It is said that Qin Ziying and Chu general Xiang Yan are not dead, and their army is actually led by these two people.

Not to mention whether the two enemies, Ziying and Xiang Yan, might be together, but under the discussion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, there is no name that is more useful than the two of them.

The Xiang family, who have been Chu generals for generations, and fought for the Chu state to the last moment, have a high reputation among the Chu people. Many Chu people do not believe that he is dead. Using his name can maximize the Chu people's allegiance heart of.

As for using the name of Ziying, it seems to the two of them that it is a good move. Qin Ziying has always been known as a "virtuous king" among the people. Hi, King Qin's reputation is deeply rooted even in Chu.

Some time ago, the news of King Qin's death spread all over Daqin, many people thought that King Qin was killed unjustly, and complained about him.

If using the name of Xiang Yan can only arouse the sympathy of the people in Chu, using the name of Ziying can arouse the "resistance consciousness" of the poor people throughout Daqin.

In the minds of some people, they acted on the orders of Qin Prince Ying, so this is not considered rebellion, at most it is regarded as "the side of the Qing emperor".

Ever since, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang announced to the outside world that Qin Ziying also escaped from Xianyang and led the uprising with Chu general Xiang Yan.

In the original history, the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings were borrowed from the names of Qin Gongzi Fusu and Xiang Yan. Now Xiang Yan has not changed, but Fusu is not worth mentioning under the brilliance of Ziying. A good choice, the two naturally chose Ziying as the best choice under the comparison.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rhetoric is naturally extremely absurd in the eyes of people with certain common sense. How could the two of them who were forced to death by Xiang Yan be together so intimately.

However, this rhetoric really caters to the thoughts of the people at the bottom. One is wronged and the other is a pity. These two people are loved by them. The oppressed people who have long been unable to survive will naturally gather followers.

In a few days, a team of nearly [-] people was assembled.

After they had people, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang struck while the iron was hot, and sent Ge Ying, a man from Fuli, to lead troops to attack counties and counties east of Qixian County. He and Wu Guang led the peasant army to advance westward.

Since the death of the First Emperor, under the perverse actions of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, the entire Great Qin Dynasty has been on the verge of collapse, like a balloon that has inflated to its peak, and it only needs to be poked lightly to burst.

Wherever the rebel army went, there was not much decent resistance at all. Those people who heard about the arrival of Ziying and Xiang Yan's rebel army spontaneously took action to respond to the rebel army, and some even tied up the county magistrate when the rebel army arrived. The gate welcomes Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's troops to enter the city.

Zhi County, Feng County, Kuzhe County, Qiao County and other counties fell into the hands of Chen Sheng one after another. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army arrived in Chen County, they had [-] chariots, more than [-] horses, and [-] infantry.

Chen County is different from other counties. Chen County is the county seat of Chen County. It has high walls and a lot of soldiers.

Moreover, Chen County even used to be one of the capitals of the Chu State—Ying Chen. Seizing the original capital of the Chu State naturally had special significance for Chen Sheng, who was under the banner of Great Chu.

Moreover, Chen County, as the former capital city and the current county seat, naturally has a defensive power that cannot be compared with ordinary county towns, and it just serves as the current base camp.

It stands to reason that such a big city is naturally not so easy to capture. However, the sheriff of Chen County and the magistrate of Chen County are people who are utterly greedy for life and afraid of death. I ran away directly...

And the county lieutenant and county lieutenant in charge of military affairs in the city happened to escort a group of civilians to Xianyang to build the Afang Palace.

Today, the majestic county town of Chen County has only one Chen Juncheng as its governor.

You must know that the Jun Cheng is just a civil official who assists the county guard to manage the county's affairs.

Although Chen Jun's Chancellor had a heart of loyalty, a civil servant was not very proficient in military affairs. Instead of relying on the strong defense of the city wall, he led the elite soldiers in the county to face Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army outside the city.

Although the county soldiers are more elite than the refugees, the huge gap in military strength cannot be made up by simple personal qualities.

After paying some price, the army of Chen Jun was defeated miserably, and Jun Cheng himself died in battle among the rebellious army.

After capturing Chen County, Chen Sheng, who was highly confident, convened the three elders and local heroes in the occupied area to discuss matters. Under his secret arrangement, everyone said one after another: "The general is strong and stubborn. To set up the state of Chu, merit is the king."

After a few symbolic refusals, Chen Sheng accepted everyone's proposal, proclaiming himself king, with the title of Zhang Chu.

The news of Chen Sheng becoming king spread from Chen County to other places like a hurricane. After hearing this, the oppressed people in Daqin, especially in the Kanto region, violently responded to Chen Sheng by killing their county officials.

At the same time, the remnants of the Six Nations who were lurking in various places began to move around.

Originally they didn't dare to take any action, they were only concerned about Qin Ziying's deterrent, now Ziying is dead, and the victory of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang greatly stimulated them.

As for Chen Sheng's announcement that they are Ziying's team, it's just a matter of deceiving ordinary people, they absolutely don't believe it.

If it was really Qin Ziying, there would be no need to go to such a great deal of trouble, just revealing his identity and going to the Qin army's camp, I am afraid that he would be able to bring the army out without tiger charms.

In a short period of time, the flames of war broke out everywhere, and the number of rebel forces that rose up in the old land of the original six kingdoms of the Kanto was innumerable.

After capturing Chen County, Chen Sheng appointed Wu Guang as the false king to attack Xingyang to the west, intending to seize Ao Cang, which stored a large amount of grain; he sent Wu Chen, Zhang Er, and Chen Yu to attack the former Zhao State; Order Zhou Shi to attack the land of the original Wei State; order Zhou Wen, the sun-watching official under Xiang Yan, to lead his army to attack Guanzhong, the hinterland of Qin State, directly to the west.

Under the tyranny of the second emperor, there was already rebellion in various places. When the armies sent by Chen Sheng arrived, they all joined them one after another. All the armies sent by Chen Sheng achieved considerable success and captured a large area.

At the same time, Chen Sheng appointed his confidant Zhu Fang as the Zhongzheng official, and Hu Wu as the senior official, to supervise the mistakes of the ministers.

The generals captured the place and came back to Chen County. If they disobeyed the order, they would be arrested and punished, or even executed.

Those who are not liked by the two will be arrested and punished without trial. Even so, they are deeply trusted by Chen Sheng. Many generals have returned with victories. Be careful that Chen Sheng was imprisoned and even lost his life before he saw it.

Therefore, some generals sent by Chen Sheng did not return at first, but secretly stood on their own.

Among them, after Wuchen arrived in Handan, he established himself as the king of Zhao, appointed Chen Yu as the general, and Zhang Er and Zhao Sao as the left and right prime ministers.

After Wuchen sent Han Guang, the former official of Shanggu County, to lead the troops northward to capture the land of Yan, Han Guang proclaimed himself King of Yan.

After Zhou Shi captured the land of Wei, he made Ningling Jun Jiu, the descendant of King Wei, King of Wei.

At the same time, Tian Dan, a native of Di County, killed the county magistrate of Di County and proclaimed himself King of Qi.

However, Zhou Wen, who was ordered by Chen Sheng to attack Guanzhong, firmly carried out Chen Sheng's order. He attacked Hangu Pass all the way west without much resistance, and stopped when he reached Xiting not far to the east of Xianyang.

Zhou Wen summoned soldiers and horses along the way. At this time, Zhou Wen actually had a thousand taels of chariots and 10 infantry!

At this time, the government and the public in Xianyang were shaken, and even Qin II and Zhao Gao were a little frightened, and urgently called all the ministers in Xianyang to discuss how to deal with it.

Only then did they realize that because of the previous cleansing, the faces of those illustrious generals in the Great Qin Dynasty Hall had disappeared, and there were only some newly appointed civil servants and newly promoted generals in the Hall.

Facing Zhou Wen's hundreds of thousands of troops, these generals who had never been on the battlefield were all pale in horror. How can there be a scene where the first emperor fought bravely when he heard about the expedition.

At this moment, one of the civil servants stood up, and Zhao Gao saw that it was Zhang Han, the young mansion.

Zhang Hanjin said: "The robbers have arrived, and all the strong ones are too late to attack the county. There are many prisoners in Xianyang. Please pardon them and send troops to attack them."

At this time, Qin Ershi and Zhao Gao were also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and no one except Zhang Han could stand up and ask for a fight.

At present, the second emperor ordered the release of all the prisoners in Xianyang and the laborers who built the Afang Palace, opened the treasury and distributed them weapons and armor, and ordered Zhang Han to lead an army of prisoners to stop Zhou Wen.

What Zhao Gao didn't know was that there was a fierce tiger that he thought was already dead that had been pretending to be crazy in the prison in Xianyang, and was released from the cage because of this order.
