After the people from all walks of life left, King Chen sat in Chencheng and waited for good news. One day, Cai Ci said to King Chen: "Since General Ge Ying served as the vanguard of the Qin War, he has made outstanding achievements and has a prominent reputation, but his position is under the generals, and now he should be worshiped as the general of the expedition to the west." King Chen sent someone to give Ge Ying the title, and let Lu Chen serve as the palace guard, leading the capital soldiers and horses to defend the Beijing division.

Ge Ying cut Qin, and the good news along the way was frequent. Li Dan, the county guard, led a large army to encircle and suppress, but Ge Ying did not fight him, but bypassed Chen County, suddenly attacked Zhexian, took the city, and quickly advanced westward to conquer Xiangyi. The righteous army fought all the way and won successes, marched quickly, and the army approached the city of Yongqiu.

When the Yongqiu County Commander heard that the rebels had attacked, he ordered the army and the people to fight. Yan Yan, the county magistrate, said: "My lord, the rebels are coming south, and they are like breaking bamboos, and the places they pass through are descending from the wind. In this situation, we should open the city and surrender in order to save our lives, if we resist, all the people will die without a place to bury! The county magistrate was surprised and asked why. Yan Yandao: "The court has long lost the support of the people when it implements the Bao government, so why should we help the abuse?" The county commander was furious and said: "At the moment of the great enemy, do you want to rebel in partnership with traitors when you say such things?" "Just drink the order left and right to push Yan Yan out and behead him. Other officials pleaded bitterly. Yan Yancai was beaten fifty boards and put in prison.

At this time, an official messenger came to report, saying that Ge Ying had been shouting and scolding and fighting under the city. The county magistrate asked, "Who dares to fight?" I saw that the captain Jin Bi responded: "I am willing to fight." And he put on his horse, and slew out of the city with his halberd. The county commander hurriedly went to the city to watch, and as soon as he arrived at the city, people reported that Jin Bi had been beheaded by Ge Ying. The county commander was shocked, and when he saw that Ge Ying was majestic and still challenged, he shouted at him angrily: "Anti-national thief, why don't you come down early?" Ge Ying smiled: "The world has suffered from the rule of the tyrannical Qin for too long, I was ordered by Xiang Yan to save the people of the world, and all the places where the army passed were surrendered, but you are so self-conscious?" "The county order was furious, so let the county lieutenant Li Long fight. Li Long shook his spirits and went out of the city to fight. At this moment, Yan Yan led more than a dozen strong men to rush up, they walked to the county commander, put the knife on his neck and said: "Dog official, the second is extremely cruel, we are in danger, why don't you respond to the righteous army to protect yourself?" "Say that, slash it down. At this time, someone had already opened the city gate and let the rebels enter the city. When Li Long saw the incident in the city and had nowhere to escape, he committed suicide in front of the battle. Ge Ying led a large army into the city, made Yan Yan the commander of Yongqiu County, took over the government affairs, and then abolished all the laws of the Qin State.

Suddenly, the county guard Li Dan led his troops to suppress it. Ge Ying smiled: "The old thief was really fooled. At that time, I ordered the generals to hold on and not fight. Everyone asked strangely: "The general is stubborn and invincible, and now when he hears that the county guard is coming, he avoids not fighting, is he afraid of him?" Ge Ying said: "It's not fear, but waiting for news." I expected that the county guard would withdraw in three days, and then I would pursue and kill him, and I would be victorious. The generals were skeptical. On the third day, Li Dan really pulled out the village and retreated, it turned out that he had already received the news that Chen County was captured by Chen Sheng, and he was angry in his heart, so he wanted to recapture the county seat. Ge Ying then led the rebels to chase and kill with all their might, and the county guard was defeated, beating the horse and galloping westward, and someone shouted in front of him: "Shoot the old thief!" Immediately afterwards, ten thousand arrows were fired, and it turned out to be the army that Ge Ying had ambushed in advance. The county guards scattered, screamed, fell from the horse, and the rest of the Qin army surrendered. The rebels captured a lot of booty and won a great victory.

Ge Ying collected his troops and entered the city, and was discussing things with the soldiers in the afternoon, when someone suddenly reported that the county guard of Dangjun also came to suppress it, and when he chased it to the territory of Xiangyi, he was shot dead by another ambush army, and the righteous army also attacked Dangjun. Ge Ying was very happy before explaining to everyone: "I had expected this result for a long time. When I left the county, in order to prevent the Dangjun guards from chasing, I sent two thousand crossbowmen to ambush in the dense forest south of the city. When the soldiers heard this, they all admired Ge Ying's strategy. Since then, the two counties of Chen and Dang have been completely occupied by the rebels.

Ge Ying held a grand celebration banquet in Yongqiu, and the three old celebrities congratulated in unison: "The general is stubborn and stubborn, crusading against the unscrupulous Qin State, pacifying Dangjun, and letting Chen Sheng attack Chen Jun, the credit is great, and he should be called the king!" Ge Ying was surprised and said: "I was ordered by General Chen to avenge the people of Chu State, with my blood, the purpose is to restore the ancestral industry of Chu State, how can I claim to be the king?" The third elder had no choice but to say: "If the general is not greedy for wealth, why don't you seek the descendants of the king of Chu to become kings?" If that's the case, the people of Chu will be inspired by the king's order to start a war with Qiang Qin, and the nobles of the six countries will also take the opportunity to restore the country, that is, you will be as famous as Guan Zhong, Sun Shuao, Fan Li and others, and you will definitely go down in history! ”

Ge Ying sighed: "Qiang Qin has not been destroyed, the war has just begun, I only hope that everyone should work together at this time and work hard to eradicate Bao Zheng, there is nothing else!" The third elder said: "Since ancient times, the hegemony of the king has been for fame and wealth, and you don't want to make profits for yourself, you should also think about the common people." Imagine that all the heroes of the world have risen up against Qin, who will be the master of the Six Kingdoms in the future? Besides, how can a general convince the public with the title of a pioneer? Ge Ying listened to everyone's words, was silent, and said again after a long time;" This matter should be considered in the long run. The three elders said: "Twenty miles outside the city, there is a man named Xiangqiang, I heard that he is the descendant of the king of Chu. Please send someone to verify that if Xiangqiang is really a descendant of the king of Chu, you can make him the king of Chu, so that the general can justifiably command the three armies. Ge Ying hesitated: "The matter of welcoming the king of Chu still needs to be discussed with General Chen." The third elder said disapprehantly: "Chen Sheng is just an ordinary person, the general's wisdom is far above him, why should I discuss with him?" Ge Ying was silent.

When the three elders saw that Ge Ying couldn't make up their minds, they encouraged the people of the whole city to come to the palace together and asked Ge Ying to welcome Xiangqiang as the king of Chu. Ge Ying saw that the people were sincere, so he agreed to this matter. Ge Ying then took Xiangqiang to Xiangyi, and after verification, he was indeed a descendant of the king of Chu, so he was proclaimed the king of Chu. After Xiangqiang became the queen of Chu, he named Ge Ying as a general and led the Chu army to attack Qin. Ge Ying straightened out the military horses while sending people to report to Chen Cheng.

Before Ge Ying set out on the expedition, Zhou Wen's army had already arrived at the city. Zhou Wen saw the banner of the state of Chu on the head of the city, and his heart was overjoyed, thinking that he already knew the news of Chen Sheng's claim to be king, so he entered the city to meet him. After the two met, Ge Ying said: "The general's name is like thunder, and I am very pleased to see each other today!" After speaking, he invited Zhou Wen to meet the king of Chu. Zhou Wen asked, "What King of Chu?" Ge Ying told the three elders and the people that they asked him to be the king of Chu. Zhou Wen was very surprised when he heard it, and he also told Chen Sheng about becoming the king. Ge Ying was stunned when he heard this. Zhou Wendao: "The general's approach is really hasty, why don't you ask King Chen for instructions and set up the king yourself?" Ge Ying immediately decided to explain to the people here first, and then abolish the king of Chu, cancel the honorific title, and then go to apologize to the king of Chen.

Who knew that the people complained: "Chen Sheng is just an ordinary person, how can he be a king?" Ge Ying persuaded everyone with good words. And Xiang Qiang knew what happened, burst into tears, and couldn't accept this sudden blow for a while, so he hanged himself. At this time, King Chen's envoys also arrived in Xiangyi, and he named Ge Ying as the general of the expedition to the west. After Ge Ying sent the messenger away, he said to Zhou Wen: "Since ancient times, there is no king in the country, I am nonsense for a while, and then I set up another Xiangqiang to be the king of Chu, if King Chen knows the blame, how is it good?" Zhou Wendao: "The general has given up on this King of Chu, so don't worry about this matter." Now it's time to fight with me, and if you do a great job, the king won't blame you. ”

The next day, when the army was about to set out, it was suddenly reported that the messenger of King Chen had arrived. It turned out that King Chen had already known about Ge Ying's establishment of another king of Chu, and he was very annoyed, so he sent a messenger to summon Ge Ying back to Chencheng. Ge Ying had no choice but to hand over the military power to Zhou Wen and prepare to go back. At this time, the soldiers all came together to stop and said: "King Chen must punish your crimes, please don't go back." Ge Ying said: "I led hundreds of thousands of troops to wipe out the Qin State, because everyone's intention was to set up another king of Chu for a while, it's all my fault!" But I am above board, it was not my original intention to establish a king, and if I don't explain it clearly to King Chen and eliminate misunderstandings now, it will destroy the great cause of destroying Qin. So he handed over the military power to Zhou Wen, and he only brought a few retinues to Chen Cheng to plead guilty.

Ge Ying came to Chen Cheng, imitated the story of 'bearing the guilt of Jing and petitioning', and carried a thorn to see King Chen. When King Chen saw Ge Ying, he immediately ordered to take it left and right, and then pushed out and beheaded. Cai Ci and Wang Zhi were shocked, and persuaded together: "In the past, the king of Chu killed the ministers and the Duke of Wen was happy, but now the strong Qin has not been destroyed, and the country is the time to employ people, and the king first kills the wise and resourceful, this must be the pain of the relatives, and the fast of the enemy!" King Chen was very angry and said, "The matter of establishing a king is not trivial, and he did not ask the widow, is there still a widow in his heart?" This person has a heart of usurpation, how can he establish his authority if he does not kill? Lu Qing and Kong Kun also dissuaded together: "We have asked clearly, the Xiangqiang he established is indeed the descendant of the king of Chu, and the people support it." But when General Ge Ying heard that the king had become the king of Chu, he gave up Xiangqiang and came to ask for the guilt in person. King Chen was very annoyed and said: "Xiangqiang is a descendant of the king of Chu, the widow's surname is Chen, and he is a descendant of Dashun. And he set up another king of Chu behind his back, and he dared to make his own decisions about such a big matter, how could he obey the public if he didn't kill him? If you persuade him again, you will be an accomplice with him! So he didn't listen to the advice of the ministers, so he asked the samurai to escort Ge Ying out. Ge Ying sighed: "The disaster is self-inflicted, why complain? I only hate Qiang Qin before it was destroyed, and I died halfway, it's a pity! After saying that, he was killed with hatred, and he was thirty or nine years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. King Chen killed Ge Ying, so he ordered Zhou Wen to take over Ge Ying's headquarters and continue to march into the army. When Ge Ying's soldiers heard that Ge Ying had died, they were very sad. Later generations have a poem that sighs:

The bad news brought the soldiers to tears, who is the commander more than Dingding?

After the queen of Chu was established, the disaster became irreparable.
