Chapter 62 The Command Orders Oath to Daze Township

Chen Sheng killed the county lieutenant at the moment, picked up his head and carried it in his hand, Wu Guang also cut off Xu Gan's head, the two glanced at each other, and then walked out of the military tent quickly. Everyone followed. At this moment, the soldiers all focused their eyes on the two bloody heads, and everyone knew what it meant to kill the generals of the Qin State, so they were all filled with righteous indignation, and the anger that had been accumulated in everyone's hearts for a long time erupted like a volcano at this time, so everyone invariably shouted in unison: "Anti-Qin!" Anti-Qin! ……”

Chen Sheng immediately gathered the team, and at this time, the rain that had been falling for seven or eight days suddenly stopped, and the people felt extremely relieved for this, thinking that it was providence. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang mounted the horses of the county lieutenant and the prison peng, stood in front of the barracks and announced loudly: "Brothers! The tyrannical Qin had no way, brutalized the people, either built a large number of buildings, or opened the border to defend it, and Qin II never regarded the people as human beings. This time, I went to defend the garrison, and there was nothing to do, but it has been raining heavily for several days, and the road is impassable, and it has been delayed for seven or eight days. The decree of the imperial court also clearly stipulated: If those who arrive late will be beheaded, do we really want to send them to death? The 900 new troops raised their arms and shouted: "Resolutely not to send them to death!" Chen Sheng roared angrily again: "If we go to the north, even if we are lucky enough to encounter an amnesty, but if we defend the Qin State for a long time, we may not be able to come back alive?" Brethren! If we miss the deadline, we will die, if we escape, we will die, if we don't die, if we want to die, we will die vigorously and for a hundred years! ”

The morale of the 900 new troops was high, and they shouted in unison: "Overthrow the tyrannical Qin!" Overthrow the tyrannical Qin! Chen Sheng raised his arms again and said, "Brothers! Now we have no way out, only to raise troops to revolt, maybe there is a way to live! If the heavens have eyes and our ranks continue to grow, I will lead you to kill Guanzhong and get rid of the faint king and traitorous ministers! The emperor also has to take turns, is it true that the princes and generals since ancient times have been born noble? When everyone heard this, the crowd once again erupted into a tsunami-like cry: "Kill the second!" Overthrow the tyrannical Qin! Chen Sheng held the head of the county lieutenant and said: "The heads of the two thieves Chen Qun and Xu Gan are here, we take advantage of the fact that the sky is not yet dawn, we should occupy Daze Township first, and then build an altar to swear an oath, I want to use the heads of these two Qin generals to sacrifice the banner of righteousness!" Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to obey Captain Chen's orders!" "Nine hundred soldiers, dressed in brand-new black uniforms, looked like a group of cannibalistic demons that had just been released from hell, and rushed towards Daze Township in anger.

In Daze Township, the township chief happened to get up at night to go to the toilet, he walked out of the house to see, and found that the rain had stopped, and the fish belly was white in the east, so he said happily: "Hey, the heavy rain has finally stopped, and the sky is going to change, haha!" Before the words fell, there was a sudden shouting of killing, and the township chief comrade was taken aback, and when he listened carefully, the sound had already reached the door, and he didn't even bother to wipe his buttocks, so he hurriedly lifted his pants and ran to the house to call someone. At this time, the rebel army had already surrounded the township government, and the rest of the township officials and squirrels heard the sound and hurried out to see what was happening, and some of them were bare-bottomed. When everyone came to the courtyard, they heard someone shouting from outside: "We are Xiang Yan's soldiers and horses, we are ordered to oppose Qin and Fuchu, open the courtyard gate quickly, otherwise the killer will come in, and the chickens and dogs will not stay!" When the township chief and the husband heard this, they were so frightened that there was no one to open the door.

The rebels had no choice but to break open the courtyard door and rush in. After everyone came in, they dragged the township chief, the husband, and the three elders to the middle of the courtyard. Just as the two captains, Chen and Wu, also walked in, and when they saw the township chief, they said, "Don't be afraid, we won't kill you." However, yesterday we received an order from Gongzi Fusu and Chu general Xiang Yan, asking me to raise troops overnight and call on the people to oppose Qin and restore Chu, I have already led 900 new troops to revolt, this is the head of the county lieutenant and the prison Peng! "The township chief was already fainting with blood, but now when he saw two bloody things, he peed his pants. The township chief's wife is still wonderful, and she actually made a fart in public. When Chen Sheng heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't be too afraid, as long as you listen to me, I won't kill you!" Everyone said in unison: "Yes, yes, yes, we must listen to the words of the big hero!" Chen Sheng said: "You are all officials, now immediately gather the villagers, explain my intention to everyone, you must join the army of Chu as soon as possible, and send all the grain in the warehouse and the cattle, sheep, and horses in the whole township to the army. If anyone dares to stop it, or send someone to the county to tell the truth, cut off all your skulls to pay tribute to King Chu Huai! ”

The township chief and the others saw that the county lieutenant and the two adults were still drinking with them yesterday, and the voice of the fist was also loud, but today they have already made the family slip their heads around, this is really 'the sky has unpredictable storms, people have good fortune and misfortune'! They were all so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies. The township chief said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... Great hero, you are from Chu, I am also from Chu, you want to avenge King Chu Huai, I also want to take revenge. We are willing to respond to the uprising and will not tell the truth! Never tell the truth! But I ...... Dare to ask: Are the eldest sons Fusu and General Xiang Yan really alive? Chen Sheng said with a smile: "After the Qin State destroyed Chu, General Xiang continued to resist Qin, and after the defeat, he fled to South Vietnam alone. Now they are there to call for troops and horses, and they want us to raise our troops overnight. The eldest son, Fusu, also fled to Liaodong, and they were all alive. When the township chief heard this, he was very happy, and immediately ordered someone to write a notice calling on the people to join the army and respond to the uprising. Chen Sheng asked the three elders to prepare three large flags and write on them.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the villagers heard that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had revolted on the orders of Fusu and Xiang Yan, so they rushed to tell each other, cheered, and took out all the grain in the house, and donated all kinds of iron farming tools. Since then, the children of poor families in the countryside have also actively participated in the rebel army. Everyone chopped wood into soldiers, unveiled poles as flags, and soon formed a team. Everyone has been busy for most of the day, and a red sun has already risen in the east, and the whole world seems to be brand new.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were busy with affairs, and Tian Zang came to report: "Captain Chen, the altar has been built, please go." Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led everyone to the newly built altar, only to see that the altar was three feet high, circular, about ten meters in diameter, and there were three large flags fluttering in the wind in the center. The first flag bears the word 'Great Chu', which means that this righteous army is the army of Chu, and the second and third flags have the words 'Fu' and 'Xiang' written respectively, which means that this army is the soldiers and horses of Fusu and Xiang Yan. This is obviously something that is not related, but Chen Sheng and Wu Guang borrowed the names of the two to cater to the wishes of the people in order to appeal to the people. Chen Sheng looked at the three big flags, full of pride, and climbed the general altar with Wu Guangxiong and with high spirits.

At this time, there were already nearly 1,000 rebels lined up under the altar, all of them holding all kinds of improvised weapons in their hands, and they also tied cloth to the bamboo poles to make various military flags, and everyone was eager to try. Chen Sheng looked at the surging crowd and ordered to bring up General Qin's head. The two sergeants walked up to the altar with two heads on a tray and placed the plate under it. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang first burned incense to worship heaven and earth: "The emperor is above, and the earth testifies: I, Chen Sheng (Wu Guang), am willing to obey the orders of Fusu and Xiang Yan and raise troops to fight against the lawless Qin State!" From then on, he completely broke with the Qin State, and then supported justice, crusaded against Bao Zheng, and swore to fight to the death. If we have two hearts, heaven and earth will not tolerate it! The voices were very loud, and the two of them stood up after saying the oath. Next, the two called on the rebels to worship the flag together. The two of them lit incense and candles first, and then knelt down to worship the three banners of the Chu army. Nine hundred strong men also knelt down together, and everyone bowed respectfully three times, and then stood up solemnly.

Chen Sheng turned to everyone again and said loudly: "Brothers, the Qin State was originally succeeded by the eldest prince Fusu, but the first emperor was not virtuous and foolish, so he set up his youngest son Hu Hai as the emperor. That kid was originally a mediocre and incompetent guy, but after he ascended the throne, he favored the eunuch Zhao Gao, brutalized Zhongliang, killed the royal family, and created countless big and unjust cases in just half a year, he is not worthy of being the emperor at all. Last night, Wu Guang and I received a secret order from Fusu, he told us not to go to the north to die, and asked us to obey the order and raise an army to attack Qin! When the soldiers heard that it was Fusu's secret order, they all shouted happily: "Fusu! Fusu! ……”。 In order to further agitate the people, Chen Sheng issued a second order, he said: "Xiang Yan, the general of the State of Chu, also sent us a secret order, appointing me as a general and Wu Guang as a captain, and asking the two of us to raise troops overnight, and our army is the army of the State of Chu." The people under the altar shouted in unison: "Respond to Fusu and enter the pass!" Respond to Xiang Yan! Avenge Chu! Chen Sheng issued a third order, he said: "Today, all soldiers who participate in the uprising must show their right arms as a sign of the righteous army." Everyone then showed their right arms, and then raised their arms and shouted: "Tyrannical Qin has no way, and I am willing to follow the orders of Fusu and Xiang Yan to follow General Chen to raise troops!" Overthrow the Bao government and take revenge! Avenge! The soldiers roared Xiao Xiao, and the sound shook the sky. Chen Sheng then stepped down from the altar, rode a horse, slowly drew his sword, and pointed in the direction of Qi County: "Brothers, now follow me to attack Qi County, rush!" The angry rebels poured into Qi County like a tidal wave.

This group of lowest-level bloody men finally let out a roar of resistance against the behemoth that was pressing on their heads, the Qin Dynasty! More than 2,000 years have passed, and the altar of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and the rebel army is still lying on the field 20 kilometers southeast of Su County, Anhui Province, which makes the people who ascended the altar in later generations feel infinite emotion and respect. There is a poem that praises:

The Qin law was strict, and the storm suddenly rose in Daze Township.

The ridge of the bird is finally difficult, and the grass is the beginning of the hunting ground in the field.

Chop wood into soldiers to settle tiger tents, and unveil the rod for the banner to the jackal.

The sky-high pride broke the silence, and the first meritorious service was eternal.
