Chapter Seventy-Seven: Jiangdong Rebellion (3)
Wu Rui is a very smart and strategic person, he did not enter Chen County directly first, of course, there is a reason for this.
First of all, as the son of the relict of the Wei State, Zhang Er Chen Yu had already established the Wei State in Chen County, and he didn't want to grab food from these two people, so he would not be able to gain a foothold from the general righteousness.
Secondly, Chen County is close to the Nanyang Counties, whether Great Qin sent troops from Wuguan or Hangu Pass to suppress the rebellion, the first to bear the brunt must be Chen County. With Zhang Er and Chen Yu in front of them, they can bring more time for Wu Rui to develop.
Again, Wu Rui has been operating in the land of Baiyue for a long time and has a wide range of contacts. The reason why the barbarians flocked to vote was not only because Wu Rui was known as a virtuous person and won the respect of the people of Baiyue, but most importantly, he hoped that Wu Rui could rescue more barbarians, and at the same time, the Baiyue barbarians were very unsuitable for the dry climate of the Central Plains.
This also required Wu Rui to go south rather than north.
Yingbu led an army of barbarians who were born to be soldiers, and soon occupied two or three counties near Poyang County. At the same time, Wu Rui also sent fast horses to send urgent letters to Yan, Hengshan, Jiujiang, Donghai, Lushan, Huiji and other counties.
There are only a few words in the letter, and the core meaning is that Chen Jun Wei has been reestablished, and now that you have raised an army against Qin, you will either follow me to rebel, and everyone will have a good time in the future; If you don't fight back, then the men will lead the troops to fight, then you will have to fall to the ground.
Today, the county guard of Huiji had just received a letter from Wu Rui, so he hurriedly found Xiang Liang to discuss.
In fact, from the fact that the Huiji County Shou knew that Xiang Liang was the son of the late Chu Xiangyan and did not report it, he knew that he did not have much loyalty to Daqin at all now. Everything he did was just for the sake of his own wealth.
"Now Wu Rui has rebelled, and the land of Jiangbei has now fallen into chaos, and the Wei State has been restored. This is the time when the will of heaven dies. In this great chaos, the first move is to control the people, and the second move is to be controlled by the people. For this reason, the old man wants to raise troops against Qin, and wants to invite Xiang Gong and Huan Chu as generals, and Xiang Gong will be able to participate in a big move together! "The county guard said the last word.
Xiang Liang heard that Wu Rui had also raised an army against Qin, his eyes flashed, obviously this news he didn't know touched him so much, but now the county guard, who was already extremely excited, didn't notice Xiang Liang's expression at this moment.
"Huan Chu is known as a famous person in Jiangdong, and he can really be the right hand of the public. It's just that Huan Chu fled to the rivers and lakes for murder, and the public has news of his traces? Xiang Liang asked with a flash in his eyes.
The county warden shook his head again and again, indicating that he didn't know either.
Xiang Liang thought for a moment, as if he had just remembered, and said: "My nephew Xiang Yu and Huan Chu have always been good friends, and he may know where Huan Chu goes." The county guard was surprised: "Is Xiang Yu here?" Go and ask. ”
Xiang Liang said: "The last student has never been to Huiji City, so I will bring him to have a long experience. He waited on the porch outside. I'll ask. ”
Xiang Liang went out, and came back after a while: "Xiang Yu knows." I didn't ask where to hide. The public can ask in person. The county guard nodded, and immediately shouted to the old man outside the door to beckon Xiang Yu in.
"Xiang Yu, see Lord County Guard!"
"Good! is so powerful, it must be a general's talent! The county guard praised him and asked, "Xiang Yu, you are good friends with Huan Chu, can you explain where he is, the old man sent someone to find him, there is a big ......?"
"Let's do it!"
Xiang Liang next to him suddenly interrupted coldly.
In an instant, Xiang Yu, who bowed his head, suddenly shouted, and the long sword in his hand was stabbed out of the sheath suddenly, and the county guard was picked up in the air by Xiang Yu's sword before he could make a sound, and the long sword passed through his chest, and he died immediately. Xiang Yu threw the body to the ground, and with a wave of his long sword, he lifted the head of the county guard in his hand.
Xiang Liang saw that the county guard was dead, Huo Ran got up, took off the seal box ribbon from the county guard's waist and hung it neatly on his body, and said loudly to Xiang Yu: "Give me the head, you come to open the way, if there is any obstacle, you must kill the officers and soldiers!" ”
As soon as the two of them walked out of the study, they heard a noise in the courtyard, obviously the old man of the family had summoned the officials and officials of Fuzhong County to rush over.
Xiang Yu has been good at fighting since he was a child, but he has never been able to try his skills, and now he was very excited to get his uncle's order, and he roared like thunder, and picked up the bronze book case in the hall with both hands and rolled it out like a hurricane.
This bronze bookcase is not comparable to ordinary weapons, it is made of three thick copper plates cast together, it is long, big and heavy, and ordinary people may not be able to move it if they carry it two or three, but now in Xiang Yu's hands, it is as light as a wooden board.
As soon as Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew rushed to the bottom of the corridor, they saw a group of spear soldiers swarming towards them.
Before the large group of county soldiers who had just rushed over could react, they were slapped away by this copper case the size of a door panel. Xiang Yu held the big bronze case the size of the door panel in his hand, and after a while, the dozens of county guards who rushed in were already lying in the courtyard with black and red flesh and blood.
None of the county guards who rushed in later expected that in just a few moments, dozens of soldiers who were sturdy and stubborn were all put to the ground like falling leaves by Xiang Yu's violent wind, and they were all terrified.
Seeing Xiang Yu covered in blood again, he rushed over like a wild bull, and suddenly fell to his knees in the courtyard.
Xiang Liang only came out of the hall at this time, and several county officials and county orders who had been contacted in advance had already rushed in with a group of people, and when they saw Xiang Liang, they immediately shouted: "Support Xiang Gong's move!" ”
Xiang Liang held the official seal in his left hand and the head in his right hand, raised it high and shouted: "Restore the state of Chu!" Kill the official and oppose Qin! ”
"Restore the state of Chu! Kill the official and oppose Qin! There was an echo in the county guard's mansion.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw that the big thing had been accomplished, and laughed loudly in unison.
In the evening, thousands of Jiangdong disciples who had been training on the island who had been training for a period of time who had received Xiang Yu's order arrived. A large number of torches and weapons of all kinds surged on the carriage and horse yard in front of the county guard.
Xiang Liang stood on the high platform and announced the rebellion against Qin, and made an army deployment on the spot: with the previous thousands of Jiangdong soldiers as the axis, with a number of Wuzhong Haojie as the captains and generals, Xiang Yu as the deputy general, Xiang Liang as the general, and formed a Chu army.
The officials and soldiers who accompanied the incident supported Xiang Liang as the county guard of Huiji, and first showed the banner of Ming to occupy the big county of Jiangdong, Xiang Liang gladly accepted it, and immediately played the banner of the county guard of Huiji.
At the same time, Xiang Liang sent scouts to search for the descendants of the king of Chu, intending to restore the state of Chu from the new one, so that the anti-Qin could be more justifiable.
Xiang Liang was very resourceful and knew that the hasty army was vulnerable, so he severely reprimanded Xiang Yu and others for their eagerness to cross the river to the west to occupy Jiangxi counties and counties.
