"Great Chu Xing, Chen Sheng Wang!"
When the 900 soldiers saw Chen Sheng and Wu Guang killing the minor official, they suddenly recalled the strange things they had heard in the past two days.
Some people ate a silk handkerchief with the words " King Chen Sheng " written on it from the belly of the fish, and many people were awakened by Hu Immortal's shouts of " Great Chu Xing ".
Now that the heavy rain had blocked the road, Chen Sheng's fear was magnified infinitely.
He revealed a gratified smile. Zhang Liang's words had indeed succeeded.
He stood on the high platform and held the head of a minor official as he shouted to the crowd,
"We were hindered by the heavy rain and couldn't reach Yuyang on time.”
"And everyone who missed the deadline. Even if they were lucky enough not to be beheaded, at least half of the people guarding the frontier fortress would lose their lives.”
"Besides, it's fine if you guys don't die, but even if you want to die, you can't die in silence! Are you willing to fight with me?"
"Kings and generals have guts!"
When everyone heard this impassioned speech, they were finally bewitched and decided to join Chen Sheng's anti-Qin path!
They followed suit and shouted,"How dare the kings and generals have guts!”
Just like that, they bared their right arms as a symbol and built an altar to swear an oath.
According to their plan, they would announce an uprising in the name of Xiang Yan!
……
"Not good! Not good!" A minor official rushed into the Qi County government office.
"What are you panicking for? Tell me what happened slowly!"
A county magistrate was afraid of disturbing Meng Tian, so he glared at the minor official and cursed in a low voice.
In the past month, Meng Tian had been staying in the county office, but no one knew why she was here.
Other than the county magistrate and the county deputy, who were asked to keep it a secret, even the local county governor did not know that he was here.
"Not good, Milord. Great Marsh Village has reported that someone has made a blood oath and used the name of Xiang Yan to rebel against Qin.”
"Now, many of the local people have responded. Daze Village has already been occupied by them, and it is said that they did not resist much.”
"Even the commoners on the road have been bewitched. They have cut down trees and used them as weapons and flags. He said that the next one would be our Qi County.”
This minor official was already out of breath from running, but he still dutifully explained the matter clearly.
"What did you say? Someone rebelled against Qin?"
The county magistrate's eyes widened as if he did not believe this at all.
"It's true! My lord!" The small official said with a sobbing tone.
Before the others in the county office could speak, Meng Tian, who was sitting inside, said loudly,"
"I believe what he said is true!"
The county magistrate and deputy magistrate were shocked."General Meng, what should we do?”
After all, they were facing the first peasant uprising in China's history. They had never heard of it before, let alone dealing with it.
In history, this Qi County was also immediately taken down!
"Don't panic!" Meng Tian said with a faint smile.
Seeing the general's expression, the county magistrate and the others felt relieved.
With General Meng Tian here, even if these rebels had nine heads, it would not be enough to chop them off.
However, Meng Tian's next sentence made them stagger and almost drop their jaws.
"Pass down my order. Pack your bags and escape with me!”
Unbelievable? Everyone felt like they were hearing things.
How could this be the words of the Great General of the Qin Dynasty? Was he joking?
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Is this lowly official hearing things?"
The people in the county government found it unbelievable. They were so shocked that their mouths were wide open and they were stunned on the spot.
Meng Tian smiled and said," I didn't hear wrongly. Prepare to escape with me."”
"However, we can't just do nothing. Before we leave, we have to publicize three things.”
"First, continue to put up notices that Great Qin is reducing taxes and inform the people that they are about to give out high-yield crops.”
"Second, warn the people around the county that as long as no one joins the uprising, His Majesty will not hold them accountable.”
"Thirdly, our Great Qin has a long history and is definitely not something that a mere 18,000 people can shake. Be careful not to lose your head after this!”
As for why she was doing this, Meng Tian did not plan to tell them yet.
He only needed them to execute it. These county officials were all from Qin, so he was not worried that they would defect to the enemy.
As for the villages below, he had to warn them in advance.
This was also a last resort.
Meng Tian had more than 100,000 elite soldiers in her hands, and they were equipped with the best iron weapons. Dealing with the rebels with wooden sticks was like chopping vegetables.
However, he could not extinguish the uprising directly.
It was mainly to lure the snake out of its hole!
Qin Shi Huang's plan was based on Su Tian's words.
The best time to eliminate the roots of the problem would be when all the uprising armies in the various regions revealed themselves.
Otherwise, even if Chen Sheng's Zhangchu Regime was destroyed, the remnants of the Six Nations would still be hiding in various parts of the country.
Qin Shihuang didn't want to guard against thieves for a thousand days, so he wanted to take a gamble. After letting them have a taste of licking their heads in the early stages, he would reap all of them in one go.
Therefore, Meng Tian, who knew that the uprising had begun, retreated according to the plan and made space for Chen Sheng.
He planned to use space to exchange for time. When there was information, all the resistance forces listed by Su Tian would appear.
That would be the time for him, Wang Li, and Wang Ben to lead their troops to suppress the enemy.
Not only did Qi County have to be withdrawn, but Meng Tian had also made preparations to let Chen Sheng take over the other five counties.
He believed that when that time came, the various rebel armies would not be able to hold themselves back and start rebelling when they saw someone licking their boots.
"General Meng, then where should we escape to?”Qi County Magistrate asked after arranging the matter.
Meng Tian smiled and said,"Follow me to Chen County!"”
Chen County was the capital of the Chen Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. In the later period of the Warring States Period, it was once the capital of Chu.
After Qin destroyed the six countries, it made Chen County a county, which showed its importance.
According to what Su Tian told Meng Tian and Qin Shihuang, Chen Sheng had established the Zhangchu Regime after conquering Chen County.
Now that Meng Tian had retreated to Chen County, she planned to use that place as a barrier. She pretended to defend, but in reality, she was waiting for an opportunity to destroy Chen Sheng and the others.
……
Zhang Liang seemed to be very satisfied these few days because the plan was going smoothly.
4. The day before yesterday, he received news that Chen Sheng had rebelled and taken down Daze Village effortlessly.
He did not expect to receive the news that Chen Sheng had taken down Qi County today.
The Qin people of Qi County had fled with the county magistrate. Otherwise, they could have taken some heads as sacrifices to the flag.
However, Zhang Liang was not too satisfied with the speed of pulling the team.
According to his thoughts, Chen Sheng would start with 900 people, and after he conquered Qi County, he would be able to expand to 18,000 people.
After all, the Chu Land's labor force was still there. After Lu Zheng reduced the corvee, many people returned to their hometowns.
According to the news he received today, Chen Sheng, who occupied Qi County, only had about 2,000 people after absorbing the young adults who had surrendered.
It was much, much less than the number of people he had estimated.
This made Zhang Liang slightly uneasy, so he could only continue to let people observe.
In his opinion, it would not take too much effort to go to the surrounding counties.
After more than a month, Chen Sheng had conquered five counties and controlled an area the size of three counties.
The various dukes also revolted in response, and the news spread like snowflakes to Zhang Liang.
"Duke Zhang! Qi came to report that the three Tian brothers and Di County rebelled against Qin.”
"Report! Zang Tu, an old general of the Yan Country, rebelled against Qin!"
"Report! Xiang Liang of Chu supported Xiong Xin to ascend the throne, plus "Lord Wu Xin", and raised an army to attack Kuaiji!”
……
As the news of rebelling against Qin spread from all over the country!
Zhang Liang finally lost his nervousness. When he heard the news of Xiang Liang's uprising, he finally felt that the big thing had been accomplished.
"Haha," he laughed,"now it's not just the eighteen vassals who are rebelling against Qin!" The fate of the violent Qin Dynasty is approaching!"
However, before he could be happy for too long, a bad news about Chen Sheng came from ahead!
(Kowtow, thank you big shots!)）
