In 209 BC, the first year of Qin II, on the afternoon of the third day of the seventh month, Surabaya County, Qi County, Daze Township!

Like the lower phase, only more than 200 kilometers away from the lower phase of Qi County, this time it is also raining every day, the heavy rain is not stopping, the rain is much heavier than the lower phase, the flooding of rivers and lakes not only flooded many roads in the county, but also directly washed away the official road to the north, the bridge was cut off, resulting in a team of soldiers drawn from all over Chen County was forced to be trapped in the pavilion of Daze Township, unable to think of any way to continue to hurry.

"Brother Wu, Chief Wu Tun is back."

Hearing this shout, some of the guards who were dozing and chatting in the pavilion hurriedly got up and prepared to greet the commander who was in charge of him. Immediately afterwards, a sturdy man of medium stature strode into the pavilion wearing a hat and a hat, and the soldiers who got up to greet him hurriedly stepped forward to greet the marquis, helping the sturdy man take off his already soaked robes, the sturdy man nodded to the soldiers to express his gratitude, and then while shaking the rain on the hat, he walked to a middle-aged man sitting on a broken straw mat, and said in a rough voice: "Brother Chen Sheng, I went to see the road, the road in front was flooded for at least five or six miles, and several bridges were all broken, even if it doesn't rain anymore, There are no five or six days, the water can't go down, and I don't know what year and month it will take to repair the bridge. ”

"What to do? Wash your neck and get ready to die. Chen Sheng said lazily: "We are serving in military service this time, and we are abiding by military law, no matter what the reason is, we have to cut off our heads if we are late." According to the distance calculation, even if the road can be opened soon, it is impossible for us to reach Yuyang on time, except for a dead end, what else can we do? ”

"Brother Chen, is what you said true?" The soldier next to him who heard Chen Sheng's words was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "If we can't get to Yuyang on time, we really all have to die?" ”

"If you don't believe it, ask those two captains, let them tell you yourself, is it a missed time?" Chen Sheng still had a lazy expression.

The soldier panicked, and hurriedly asked the other guards if it was really a missed time, and the rain leaking grass house everywhere gradually became noisy, but Chen Sheng didn't bother to pay attention to those soldiers who were all from Qiantou, and just asked the only sturdy man he could afford in this soldier: "Wu Guang, how is it?" What are your plans? ”

"I don't know what to do." Wu Guang shook his head honestly and said: "If you can't reach Yuyang on time, it's death, and when you get caught, I don't know what to do." ”

After that, Wu Guang asked Chen Sheng again: "Brother Chen Sheng, your ancestor is Dr. Chen Guo, you have read more books than us, and you have more knowledge than us, can you think of any way to help us save our lives?" ”

Chen Sheng smiled and said, "If only I could have this way, when I kill me now, the executioner's axe can be sharpened faster, give me a good time, don't cut me with a blunt axe, let me have to suffer a great sin when I die." ”

Knowing that Chen Sheng was joking, Wu Guang, who had always respected Chen Sheng, didn't take it to heart, just sighed and found a place to sit down, trying to figure out how to hurry as soon as possible, rush to Yuyang on schedule, and avoid this murder. It's a pity that the objective reason of the continuous heavy rain is here, no matter how hard Wu Guang racks his brains, he can't think of any solution.

That night, Chen Sheng, who had a deep friendship, and Wu Guang lived in the same grass house, and when he slept until midnight, Wu Guang was suddenly woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he just wanted to speak, but he unintentionally covered his mouth with a thick beard with one hand, and then Chen Sheng's familiar voice came low, saying: "Don't talk, I'm Chen Sheng, go to the door with me, I have something to say to you alone." ”

Wu Guang, who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, nodded, and quickly got up and went out with Chen Sheng, alarming the other guards sleeping in the room, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also said that they were going to the toilet. After getting out, Chen Sheng first found a place to shelter from the rain and stood under the eaves, and then Chen Sheng whispered to Wu Guang: "Big brother, what you said today is very right, now in this situation, we have no way out, and if we can't arrive at Yuyang on time, we will die, and if we are caught, we will die." But I think we may have a third way to go, and if we take a third way, we may be able to save our lives. ”

"The third way? What way? Wu Guang hurriedly asked.

"Don't be scared." Chen Sheng first gave Wu Guang a preventive shot, and then said in a low voice: "The third way is to rebel!" Rise up against Qin! ”

"What?" Even though Chen Sheng had been vaccinated in advance, Wu Guang was still taken aback and exclaimed in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Aren't we dying worse by doing so? ”

"I'm not crazy." Chen Sheng said in a low voice: "Listen to me, although the rebellion is dangerous, but this world has been tossed by the tyranny Qin for too long, all kinds of harsh taxes and conscription punishments have made the people of Qianshou can no longer bear it, if we are the first to raise the banner of righteousness and call on the people of the world to join us in revolting against Qin, there will definitely be countless people to follow, if we can succeed at that time, not only can we save our lives, but also immediately be glorious and rich, and we will not be able to enjoy it." ”

"Even if it fails, it doesn't matter." Chen Sheng said in a low voice: "Anyway, if you can't get to Yuyang on time, you will die, if you fail, you will die, there is no difference, we might as well fight and fight a way to live!" also spell out the glory and wealth of the second half of your life! ”

As in history, after listening to Chen Sheng's instigation, although Wu Guang was greatly moved, he was still hesitant and worried, and did not dare to make up his mind casually. After thinking about it for a while, Wu Guang also said: "Otherwise, I heard that there is a divination spirit in the market in Daze Township, we will go tomorrow and ask him to give us a divination and ask if the big thing we want to do can be successful!" If the demons say we can make it, I'll do it with you!" ”

is not a traverser, of course Chen Sheng doesn't know what the result will be if he and Wu Guang raise the flag to rebel, and his heart is a little up-and-down, so after listening to Wu Guang's suggestion, Chen Sheng also nodded immediately and said: "Okay, let's go to the market together tomorrow to divinate and see if our big event can succeed!" ”

…………

In 209 BC, on the fourth day of the seventh month of the first year of Qin II, in the morning, Surabaya County, Qi County, Daze Township Market!

As in history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang found the diviner who left a mark in the history books but did not leave his name, and asked him to calculate whether the big things they were going to do would succeed. It is still the same as in history, that diviner is talking about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, and in order to ask for more money, he pretends to be divination for a while and then says: "Two strong men, rest assured, what you are going to do will be successful." But the two of them just asked God, do you want to ask ghosts? ”

The wheel of history began to turn, and after happily paying the hexagram money for asking the ghosts and gods, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also realized the truth that the ghosts and gods can be intimidated, and on the way back to the pavilion, they made up their minds to raise troops against Qin, and also discussed the famous bad ideas that have been passed down through the ages, such as the fish belly book and the fox call, and decided the specific time to do it. However, Wu Guang was still a little worried, and asked Chen Sheng again: "Brother Chen, just because the two of us take the lead, I'm afraid it will be difficult for people in the world to respond to us, I won't talk about it, a Qiantou mud leg, although your ancestor is Chen Guo's doctor, but he doesn't have a name, there are definitely not many people in the world who know about you, and you can't serve the public, what should I do?" ”

"It's okay, I've already figured it out." Chen Sheng said without blinking his eyelids: "I heard that the Second Emperor is the youngest son of the First Emperor, and he should not succeed to the throne, but the eldest son Fusu should succeed him." Fusu was sent to lead troops because of his repeated admonitions to the First Emperor, and was later killed by the Second Emperor for no reason. There is also a celebrity named Xiang Yan, who was a famous general of the Chu State, with outstanding military achievements, and loved nurses and soldiers, and was very loved, and died on the battlefield of fighting against the Qin State. We can use their banner to say that they are not dead, and use their name to call on the people of the world to oppose Qin, so that the people of the world will definitely respond to us. ”

As soon as Wu Guang heard the applause, he immediately echoed and said that this should be done, but Chen Sheng smiled, couldn't help but think of an interesting question, and said secretly: "I heard that Xiang Yan still has many descendants alive in the world, if they know that I claim that Xiang Yan is not dead, and I still call on the people of the world to oppose Qin under the banner of Xiang Yan, I don't know what kind of expression it should be." ”

…………

In 209 BC, the fourth day of the seventh month of the first year of Qin II, in the morning, Surabaya County, Xiaxiang County, Dongxiang Shiling Pavilion, in front of the pavilion! Wheels of History......

Compared with the heavy rain in the Qi County area, the rain here is obviously lighter, but it is still rainy and rainy, wet clothes, but even so, the front of the Shiling Pavilion is still full of people like ants, crowded with soldiers who have come to assemble one after another, supervise the soldiers who come to assemble in each pavilion, and come to see off their relatives and see the lively Shiling Pavilion people, the clothes and hats are in pieces, the umbrellas are open like lotuses, and it is as lively as the opening of the county market before the Chinese New Year.

Lively and lively, but there was no laughter in the crowd, on the contrary, there were crying voices everywhere, and the gray-haired parents pulled their son who was about to go away and wept; The wife who dragged her children and daughters was in tears and couldn't cry in front of her husband who was about to leave, and the young children hugged their father's thighs and cried and shouted, reluctant to leave; There are also young women who ignore their image, throw themselves into the arms of their lovers and cry, choking up and telling their lover, who is about to go north to the frontier, to take care of himself, and to come back alive to marry him. The scene is sad and sad.

When noon was approaching, Feng Zhong, who was in charge of escorting the Dongxiang guards to the north, came out of the pavilion with red eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "The time is almost up, arrange the hundred-person team in order of height, and everyone else will dodge away and make room for the guards to line up." ”

The crying was even louder, and many children were pushed away by their fathers with tears in their eyes, crying and shouting and being pulled out of the team by their mothers who were also in tears; Many white-haired parents even hugged their sons and cried loudly, shaking their son's strong body, and were reluctant to let go of anything; During this period, several young women grabbed their lover's shirt tightly, and cried bitterly: "I won't leave!" I'm not going! I don't want you to go either! I can't bear you! ”

Seeing such a scene and hearing such a desperate cry, Feng Zhong, who had been crying for a long time with his wife and children in the pavilion just now, had a sour nose and almost cried again. But there was no way, after gritting his teeth and holding back his tears, Feng Zhong could only lead a few pavilion guards forward, and in the angry eyes of countless parties, forcibly drove the families of the soldiers who refused to leave out of the temporary school ground, and at the same time forced the guards to quickly line up, preparing to appoint temporary officers such as the captain, the chief and the tun chief.

During this period, Feng Zhong also met Xiang Kang standing in the crowd, seeing Xiang Kang with a calm expression on his back, Feng Zhong, who was already close to Xiang Kang, suddenly had an urge to hit someone, and couldn't help but whisper to Xiang Kang: "Have you thought it through?" Regret it now, maybe it's too late! Don't forget, you're about to get married. ”

"Big brother, I've thought it through." Xiang Kang replied very calmly, and said: "Don't forget, you promised me that you would make me the head of the tun, Xu Ji and Yang Bu, and let them be my chiefs." ”

Too lazy to take care of Xiang Kang, who was looking for his own death, Feng Zhong walked straight past Xiang Kang's side angrily, and Xiang Kang looked around casually while queuing up with everyone, and the result was very coincidental, and when he turned his head slightly, Xiang Kang found that Wei Shan, a guest of Feng Zhongmen who was quite fated with him, was actually standing beside him, with a package on his back, obviously going to be a pawn. Xiang Kang couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and asked, "Wei Shan, why do you have to serve in the garrison?" ”

"My household registration is also right." Wei Shan said with a sad face: "Originally, I wanted to run, but I was afraid of being caught and cut in half, so I had to come here." ”

"It's okay, I'll take care of you on the way."

Xiang Kang patted Wei Shan on the shoulder casually, and was about to continue to comfort Wei Shan with a few words to buy people's hearts, but in the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, Xiang Kang hurriedly looked at it carefully, and saw that it was indeed Yu Yu's little girl, who forcibly and cruelly took away her virginity three days ago, holding an umbrella covered with green cloth, standing in the crowd, looking at herself silently, her eyes were still red, and she obviously cried just now.

smiled at the little girl very gently, Xiang Kang couldn't help but be a little lucky, glad that this little girl kept a secret for herself, and didn't let Yu Miaoge know that she took the initiative to exchange household registration with Xiang It and voluntarily went to serve on behalf of Xiang - otherwise, with Yu Miaoge's temper, he would have to come here today to hug himself and cry to death, and he would definitely not leave, bringing countless troubles to himself for a while.

Other blacksmith shop apprentices and Dongxiang militiamen who were not called up also came, not only those who drank loose wine with Xiang Kang yesterday, but also the apprentices and militiamen who were unable to attend the parting party yesterday because of something also came. But even so, these apprentices and militiamen still didn't forget to publicize the news that Xiang Kang had a red light on his body last night, but unfortunately most of the people present today were concerned about their departing relatives, so it didn't cause much of a sensation.

Although he never agreed to Xiang Kang's request, after the team was arranged, when selecting the candidates for Baichang and Tunchang, Feng Zhong still appointed a position of Tunchang to Xiang Kang, Xiang Guan and Xiang Sheng, two good hands of the Xiang family, were appointed as Baichang, Xiang You and Xiang Yang were also appointed as Tunchang, and at the same time, Feng Zhong delegated the power of appointing Shi Chang and Wu Chang to Baichang and Tunchang, Xiang Kang also smoothly let his two cronies apprentice and militia Xu Ji and Yang not become Shi Chang, and also let Wei Shan, who was quite fated with him, also become Shi Chang.

At the end of the gradual formation of the team, the time was already nearly half of noon, and the Dongxiang garrison team was about to set off for Santai Pavilion to meet with the other garrison teams in Xiaxiang County, and the crying around the temporary school field started again, and Xiang Kang's heart gradually rose to his throat - because until this moment, Zhou County, the most critical link in Xiang Kang's uprising plan, had not yet appeared! And if Zhou County's order is not broken, Xiang Kang can only be forced to start the backup plan, which is more difficult and grasps the smaller backup plan!

"God bless, Zhou County's order must come! If he doesn't come, even if I can easily take down Feng Zhong and incite the soldiers to rebel, I will soon attract the troops of Zhou County to suppress it, and the battle will definitely be extremely difficult to fight at that time. Only by directly taking down the Zhou County Order and making Xiaxiang County become leaderless, can I directly enter the county seat, and hopefully take the county seat directly! ”

Although he doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, but when things come to this point, Xiang Kang can only silently pray for God's blessing, and bless the Zhou County Order, who is quite good to him, to fulfill his promise, and personally go to Shiling Pavilion to give himself a strong deed, and give himself the opportunity to capture the thief and capture the king first.

It's a pity that half past noon arrived soon, pushing away the yellow-faced woman who was pulling herself crying and crying, Feng Zhong snatched the package from the yellow-faced woman's hand, threw it on her body and carried it, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "It's time, let's go!" ”

Hearing this, several Xiang family disciples in the garrison team and the Xiang family children in the crowd immediately focused their eyes on Xiang Kang's body, waiting for Xiang Kang to send a signal, Xiang Kang pursed his lips in despair, and walked forward helplessly, ready to pretend to talk to Feng Zhong, and get close to Feng Zhong to send a signal. But at this time, a miracle appeared, and the red and black two-horse official car suddenly drove in the distance of the road, and the official who was riding a horse around the carriage also shouted loudly: "Slow, this county is here!" ”

"Hoo ——!" Xiang Kangchang breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched fists were released, revealing the palms of his hands soaked in sweat.

In 209 BC, the fourth day of the seventh month of the first year of Qin II, in the morning, Surabaya County, Xiaxiang County, Dongxiang Shiling Pavilion, in front of the pavilion! The wheel of history slowly rolled forward, a day or two ahead of schedule, and slowly turned into a new historical development trajectory......
