Chen Sheng and Wu Guang saw that the time was ripe

It was decided to revolt immediately

Guys who didn't fight

They went up the hill and cut down trees and bamboo poles as weapons

And a big flag was made

On the flag is written a big Chu character

Everything is ready

Take the heads of those two officers and sacrifice them to heaven

Then

900 strong men are under the leadership of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang

Joint oath

They will live and die together

Overthrow of the Qin Dynasty

Share the wealth

And rightfully so

Chen Sheng was promoted to general

Wu Guangwei was the lieutenant

According to the principle of proximity

They are in a hurry

took the nearby Daze Township

The first shot of the peasant uprising in the Qin Dynasty was fired

As Chen Sheng expected in advance

The Qin Dynasty oppressed the people too harshly

The people at the bottom are living in dire straits

I heard that there was a mud-legged uprising in Daze Township

The people in the neighborhood were attracted to it

They came to join the rebels with hoes and burdens

The size of the rebel army grew at once

Now the strength is enough

Take advantage of this momentum

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the rebel army

Captured the nearby Jixian County at once

Seeing that the county seat is so vulnerable

Chen Sheng sent someone to lead a team again

Go and attack the nearby county seats

soon

The five county seats east of Jixian County were taken

When they reached Chen County (present-day Huaiyang County, Henan).

The rebels already had six or seven hundred vehicles

More than a thousand cavalry

Tens of thousands of infantry

Shotguns for guns

It looks like a regular army

With the support of everyone

Chen Sheng became king in Chen County

Country name Zhang Chu

This can be regarded as the fulfillment of his wish for many years

Here we introduce this Chen County

Chen County

In the Spring and Autumn period

It was once the capital of the state of Chen

In the last years of the Warring States period

He was also the capital of the Chu State

Arguably

Chen County is a very important place

When Chen Sheng and Wu Guanggang rebelled

The reason why he named himself a general and a lieutenant

is because they are under the banner of Fusu and Xiang Yan

Now they have captured Chen County

With such a reliable base

There are tens of thousands of horses under his hands

Naturally, there is no need to pretend to be someone else's name

He turned to himself as king

Claiming the title of king is not just for personal honor

Claiming to be king is an attitude

A kind of determination

From the day he became king

Chen Sheng made a decision

I want to fight to the end with the Qin Dynasty

This time

Chen Sheng's fire is already burning

There are many places up and down the country

There are people who have revolted

And it's all under the banner of Zhang Chu

to respond to Chen Sheng

Chen Sheng didn't expect things to go so smoothly

Good

Now that this fire has been burned

Then we will take advantage of the fire

Burn down the entire Qin Dynasty

After Chen Sheng analyzed the current situation

Appointed Wu Guang as a false king (that is, a vice king)

Led the main force of the rebel army to attack Xingyang in the west

This Xingyang is a traffic artery

Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers

Near Xingyang is the granary of the Qin Dynasty

Took Xingyang

It can cut off the grain and grass of the Qin Dynasty

It can also allow the rebels to be resupplied

And after taking Xingyang

You can take the Hangu Pass

Straight to the Qin capital Xianyang

Arranged to attack Xingyang

Chen Sheng sent some generals again

Take the army and attack other places

The situation of the rebels is very good

What I didn't expect was

Wu Guang was in trouble in Xingyang

The general of Xingyang is Li You, the son of Prime Minister Li Si

This Li is both wise and brave

Wu Guang's army attacked for a long time

But there was no sign of victory

Xingyang can't take it

Chen Sheng was a little anxious

Since the bone of Xingyang is so difficult to gnaw

Then I'll just let it go

Aren't you Xingyang in a stalemate with Wu Guangjun?

I will appoint Zhou Wen as the general

Bypass Xingyang

Directly take the letter to the valley pass

This week's article

He had fought under Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, before

experienced and knowledgeable

He is also very proficient in the art of war

He led the army all the way to the pass

Approaching Xianyang

In the course of the offensive

There were also quite a few rebels along the way

When the army reached the theater hundreds of miles away from Xianyang (in present-day Lintong, Shaanxi).

There are already more than 100,000 troops in the army

The momentum is huge

This time, Qin II of Xianyang City couldn't sit still

Everyone has hit the doorstep

And so on

Daddy's country is about to come to an end

Let's fight

These defenders of Xianyang City are simply not enough to play with others

At this critical time

It was proposed

You can let the hundreds of thousands of prisoners who built the Lishan Mausoleum go to the front line

Qin II waved his pen

All the sins of the hundreds of thousands of prisoners were forgiven

Then Zhang Han was appointed as a general

Lead an army of prisoners

Go out of the city to meet the enemy

Zhou Wen's hundreds of thousands of troops

It looks imposing

But after all, most of them are temporary joiners

Zhang Han's army of hundreds of thousands

Although it is not a regular army

But they are all people who have just received death exemption certificates

They were all counting on this battle to get themselves a new identity

Become a regular army that eats imperial food

In addition, Zhang Han himself is also a powerful character

A few battles down

Zhou Wen's army was routed

Zhou Wen committed suicide in defeat

Zhang Han solved Zhou Wen

waved his army to relieve the siege of Xingyang

At that time, Wu Guangjun's army was worried about Xingyang City

I heard that Zhang Han's army was coming to flank him

There was panic within the army

Everyone is a little less confident in Wu Guang

The roof leak is windy and rainy

This time

There was a problem within Wu Guangjun's army

There was a general named Tian Zang who had always been very unconvinced by Wu Guang

I felt that Xingyang couldn't be beaten

It was completely Wu Guang's incompetence

He took advantage of the fact that everyone had objections to Wu Guang

Under the pretense of Chen Sheng's name

Kill Wu Guang

Now Tian Zang is the head of the army

He decided

The soldiers are divided into two ways

Part of the people followed his strategy

Continue to attack Xingyang

He led another part of the people to fight against Zhang Han

It's a pity

Tian Zang overestimated himself

According to his strategy, attack Xingyang's troops

Still not the slightest progress

himself

also died under Zhang Han's army

Zhang Han finished cleaning up Tian Zang

Let's rescue Xingyang

This team led by Wu Guang

Annihilated

Now the situation has turned

The initiative was in Zhang Han's hands

Zhang Han was also polite

sent troops to attack Chen Sheng's base in Chen County

Chen County at this time

It's not the original Chen County anymore

Chen Sheng has been king since he became king

Eat well

It's well dressed

Things are getting smoother

More and more people are listening

Gradually, he changed

In the early years, he was a fellow villager who farmed for the landlord with Chen Sheng

I heard that the old man had become king

Think about how he wanted to be rich with everyone back then

deliberately came to Chen County from his hometown in Yangcheng

As a result, he waited at Chen Sheng's door for a long time

Stunned, no one paid attention to him

This old brother is waiting

Wait, wait, wait

Finally, Chen Sheng went out

But King Chen hugged him before and after

I can't see myself at all

He was in a hurry

shouted out Chen Sheng's nickname

I heard the nickname I hadn't seen for a long time

Only then did Chen Sheng see his fellow countrymen

Chen Dawang is also interesting enough

So he invited the old man to his palace

Let him also live a good life for a few days

It's because they're old friends

This fellow speaks more casually

Not only casually with Chen Sheng

And the people in the neighborhood are also very casual

This one is whatever

It was inevitable that he and Chen Sheng would steal chickens and dogs together

soon

Someone reported it to King Chen

O king

Your fellow is a bit of a second

Often talk behind your back about the things you did back then

And so on

It is detrimental to your majesty

Chen Sheng was annoyed when he heard this

I had already washed off the smell of earth on my body

This old brother eats his own and lives on his own, not to mention

And put mud on himself

Simply

So he killed this fellow

ay

This fellow is just that

Why bother to be rich and rich?

And that's not all

Although Chen Sheng risked losing his head to become the king

But for a long time

The men under him understood the taste

What providence

You say it yourself

The prince will have a kind of Xiangning

Then we can do the same

That's it

Chen Sheng sent various places to crusade against the leaders of the Qin army

They all had different hearts

After they attacked the next piece of territory

and he reigned over himself

Gradually

will not obey Chen Sheng's leadership

Chen Sheng's soldiers and horses were basically sent out

Chen County doesn't have many soldiers and horses

Zhang Han is in this case

Sent troops to attack Chen County

Zhang Han's soldiers and horses came

Chen Sheng's subordinates lacked major generals

had to go into battle to meet the enemy in person

Although King Chen is very brave

But the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great

Chen County still did not hold on

Chen Sheng led the remnants to retreat to Xiachengfu (northwest of present-day Mengcheng, Anhui)

Prepare to regroup

Fight again

But what I never expected was

His own people have done a black hand

Chen Sheng was killed by the coachman Zhuang Jia

ay

pity

Alas

Chen Sheng

Ben is a country man

Sell your strength for a living

But he was not content with the status quo

Always have the ambition to change your fate

At that time, the Qin Dynasty oppressed the people too much

The people's grievances are too deep

It's a packet of explosives

It's just Mars

Serendipitously

Chen Sheng was conquest of the border

It happened to rain heavily

The trip is blocked

Dead

On the verge of death

Chen Sheng analyzed the situation

Decided to give it a go

Finally rubbed out Mars

The explosives package was ignited

Things after that

Not what he could have predicted

It's not something he can control

Anyway, the world is in chaos

The foundations of the Qin Dynasty have been shaken

Subvert the Qin Dynasty

Chen Sheng's first contribution

I recorded a commentary on "Five Thousand Years of China" written by myself
