Chapter 163: Imperial Turmoil

When Chu Yun returned from Xihu, Meng Tian was taken to the imperial capital, and he wanted to find someone to save Meng Tian, but Meng Tian had been poisoned by the messenger.

"Burial well!" He looked at Meng Tian's corpse and sighed helplessly.

King Qin's strongest general, quite the style of killing gods in vain, but he still can't escape his fate.

Hu Hai ascended the throne, and good news came back from the border, saying that Chu Yun led the Mengjia army to destroy Donghu, and also opened up the territory for Great Qin, advanced thousands of miles to the north, and asked the new emperor to set up officials.

"General Meng is really the pillar of the country!" Hu Hai said with a smile.

"My empire has become more vast, I want to seal Chu Yun as Chu Anjun, you Aiqing have no opinion!"

He was very surprised to be able to ascend the throne, and even he didn't expect to become the second emperor of Great Qin.

Everything was executed by Zhao Gao, and he didn't know that Zhao Gao wanted to kill Chu Yun.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate!" Zhao Gao said.

"Oh, why?" Hu Hai asked curiously.

"Although the Hu people on the border have been repulsed, they are still eyeing our Great Qin, and once General Chu is transferred back, there is no one to guard it, and they threaten the Hu people, they will invade the empire again." Zhao Gaodao.

"Then what reward do you think is good for Chu Yun?" Hu Hai asked.

"The minister thinks it is better to make him a general, take over the position of General Meng, show his merits, and let him know that His Majesty has great trust and favor in him." Zhao Gaodao.

Hu Hai nodded and said, "It's reasonable, then make him a general!"

"From now on, the whole country will celebrate for seven days, and I am about to travel eastward, so let General Zhang Han prepare."

The officials looked at each other, and Hu Hai was going to tour the east as soon as he ascended the throne, which consumed money and energy, but they did not dare to object.

When Hu Hai wanted to crown Zhao Gao as an official, some ministers came out to oppose and impeach Zhao Gao, and in the end they were all connected to the three clans, and then no one dared to say that Zhao Gao was not, let alone admonished at will.

Hu Hai toured the east, wantonly killed his ministers, eradicated dissidents, greedy for pleasure, brutally ruled Daqin, and was unreasonable.

In the same year, a peasant uprising broke out, leaving the Great Qin Empire in a precarious situation.

The rebel army was sent by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were originally requisitioned by the imperial court to levy Luzuo Tunshu Yuyang, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the commanders.

But go to Daze Township. Blocked by heavy rain, it could not arrive on time.

According to the Qin law, the head must be killed after expiration. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang felt that advancing and retreating was a dead end, so they instigated the people who followed them to launch a military uprising, and put forward the slogan "Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng".

Chen Sheng established himself as a general, with Wu Guang as his lieutenant, and called on the masses to oppose Qin in the name of Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shi Huang, and Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, who had been given death.

In the same year, the rebel army quickly captured Qi County. When the rebels entered Chen County, they already had tens of thousands of infantry.

Chen Sheng established himself as the king, the country name was Zhang Chu, appointed Wu Guang as the false king, led the army to attack Xingyang in the west, ordered Wuchen, Zhang Er, and Chen Yu to attack Zhao in the north, Deng Zong to conquer Jiujiang in the south, and Zhou City to seize Wei.

The establishment of Zhang Chu's regime provoked an upsurge of anti-Qin struggle across the country, and the people everywhere had been suffering from Qin's politics for a long time, and they killed Qin chiefs one after another in response to Chen Sheng.

The remnants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms also rose up against Qin.

The rebel army approached Xingyang and approached Xianyang City.

The empire was in danger of internal and external troubles, Qin II was very flustered, he thought of Chu Yun who was guarding Shangjun, and sent a decree to Chu Yun to lead the troops back to suppress the uprising.

But when the messenger returned, Chu Yun told him that the border was not stable and that he could not come back.

Chu Yun's disrespect for the decree made Qin II Hu Hai so angry that he wanted to make a holy decree to kill Chu Yun, but Zhao Gao persuaded him to give up the idea.

After all, Chu Yun controlled the most elite army of the empire, and once he was forced to be in a hurry, he directly turned around and led the army to rebel, and with Chu Yun's ability, Great Qin would be destroyed in an instant.

Hu Hai had no choice, he couldn't cut Chu Yun's military power, but on the contrary, he had to appease him.

Wu Guang led the rebel army to besiege Xingyang, and Chen Sheng sent Zhou Wen as a general to attack Qin in the west.

Zhou Wen's team continued to expand on the way to Xianyang, and when it arrived at Hangu Pass, there were thousands of military vehicles and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the rebel army arrived at Xianyang for more than 100 miles.

Qin II ordered Shaofu Zhang Han to organize hundreds of thousands of prisoners and slaves who had built the Lishan Tomb into an army to meet the battle.

The rebel army suffered setbacks one after another, and Zhou Wen committed suicide.

With the development of the anti-Qin struggle, the weaknesses and contradictions within the rebel army were gradually exposed.

For example, Chen Sheng grew up with pride, listened to slander, killed the deceased, and became increasingly estranged from the uprising.

The generals sent to various places did not listen to Chen Sheng's moderation, and even killed each other in order to compete for power and profit.

For example, Tian Zang, the general of the rebel army besieging Xingyang, disagreed with Wu Guang, and even killed Wu Guang under the pretense of Chen Sheng's order, resulting in the failure of the uprising.

After Zhang Han lifted the siege of Xingyang by the rebel army, he pounced on Chen County with all his strength, and Chen Sheng lost the battle.

The city of Xingyang was strong, and it could not be attacked for a long time under the insistence of Li You, who guarded Sanchuan, and Chen Sheng recruited domestic "heroes" to discuss the method and appointed Fang Jun Cai Ci as the Shangzhu State.

After that, Wu Guang had a dispute with his subordinate Tian Zang.

Tian Zang killed Wu Guang in the name of Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng could only admit the fait accompli and appoint Tian Zang as Ling Yin. After Wu Guang's death, the morale of the army was discouraged.

Qin general Zhang Han led the army to attack, Tian Zang led the elite troops west to Ao Cang to meet the battle, but was designed by Zhang Han to fall into a trap, defeated and killed.

Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew responded to Chen Sheng's uprising, and at the same time, Liu Bang of Pei County also followed the uprising, and the world corresponded.

Chen Sheng appointed Xiang Liang in the Shangguo Pillar and led the rebel army and the Qin army to win many fierce battles.

"General Xiang seems to be in a good mood, but he is preoccupied, why is this?" Fan Zeng asked.

Xiang Liang sighed: "Although we can win a big victory at present, we still can't destroy Great Qin, the rebel army is disheartened, like a plate of scattered sand, it is difficult to overthrow the Great Qin Empire."

"I heard that Qin II Hu Hai wanted to send a decree to let Chu Yun come back to suppress the uprising, but Chu Yun refused on the grounds of resisting Hu." Fan Zengdao.

"It's better for General Xiang to write a letter to ask Chu Yun to come back, and he will definitely be able to overthrow the empire." He proposed.

Xiang Liang said: "Okay, I'll write to Chu Xian's nephew."

Xiang Liang looked at the list of heroes from all walks of life, but saw Liu Bang's name, and asked curiously, "Who is this person?"

Fan Zeng said: "Liu Ji was originally from Pei County, because when he escorted the prisoners to Lishan, many prisoners fled, in order to save his life, he took the rest of the people to the grass and became a coward."

"It's strange to say, I once heard that he had cut a white snake in Mangdang Mountain, and an old woman cried in the middle of the night, saying that her son Bai Di turned into a white snake to block the way, but was killed by the Red Emperor, so many people were afraid and convinced of him."

"After Chen Sheng's uprising, the world rose up, and the people of Pei County killed the county order and supported Liu Ji as the Duke of Pei."

Xiang Liang said: "Then he is also a good hero, right?"

If he can be loved by the people, he feels that he must be famous.

Fan Zeng said with a smile: "He was originally a ruffian, he had friends with Xiao He and the butcher Fan Xu, Xiao He and Fan Xu were well-known in Pei County, and the people of Pei County supported him, all of which were the credit of Xiao He and Fan Xu."
