The Third Route Army sent by King Chen went north under the leadership of Wu Chen, and the people gathered in response, and the army came to Puyang, which was the county capital of Dongjun. When the county guard heard of the arrival of the rebels, he immediately led the army into battle. Two pairs of circles. Wu Chen slapped his horse out, raised his whip and roared: "Qin Nu, we are the soldiers and horses of the Chu State, now come to collect the land, and quickly sacrifice the city!" The county guard said angrily: "The bold Diao people, the rebellion is to exterminate the clan, do you know? Wu Chen smiled: "I know, I know, I don't rebel if I'm afraid of death." Now King Chen has ascended the throne in Chen County, and the founding name is Zhang Chu, advocating the world to oppose Qin. If you know the current affairs, you will respond to the Chu State, and you will not lose the opportunity to pay homage to the marquis in the future! The county guard scolded: "Villager! Can you destroy the Great Qin Kingdom? Surrender quickly, spare you from death, and if you shout again, you will be moved by your heads! Seeing the resolute attitude of the county guard, Wuchen said to the main formation: "Which of you dares to challenge?" Zhang Er wanted Chen Yu to make a head, so he made a look. Chen Yu comprehended, slapped the horse, and galloped out of the formation. A brave general also came out of the Qin army's array, who was holding a spear and screaming. The two men hit their horses forward, charging with inertia, the two horses intersected, the spears were raised, and the sparks burst out. The two mustered up their courage and fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Chen Yuyi stabbed Qin Jiang under the horse. The county guard was alarmed, hurriedly retreated into the city, and raised the drawbridge. The rebels then camped along the moat, besieged the city, and launched a fierce attack by sending stones and artillery into the city with launchers.

Ten days later, the county guard was afraid, so he gathered the crowd and said: "The thief is fierce, I'm afraid I can't hold on." Jun Cheng said: "If we don't resist, according to Qin's law, we will destroy the door." If you resist, you will be killed if you are caught by the rebels. It's better to resist desperately and wait for reinforcements! The county guard said: "I'm afraid it won't last long." After a few more days of stubborn defense, the Qin army finally couldn't resist it. The county said: "Tonight, gather the people of the whole city and dress up as sergeants, and pretend to go out and surrender when it gets dark, and the people will walk in front and the sergeants will follow behind." When they reached the rebel camp, they let the sergeants suddenly attack. The military minister must be defenseless, and he will definitely win a big victory, which is called 'attacking him unprepared'. If you kill the warriors, the thieves will surely disperse. The county warden followed the plan.

At dusk that day, the county guard ordered the Qin army to erect a flag on the head of the city. When the military ministers heard the news, they led the crowd to the city. I saw someone shouting at the top of the city: "More than half of the soldiers in the city have been killed and wounded, and they can no longer fight, and they are willing to surrender!" Wu Chen said: "Is it true or false?" He replied: "We will go out of the city immediately and disarm, there will be no fake, besides, I have heard that the people of Shandong have rebelled, and there is no point in us resisting any longer." Wu Chen smiled: "In this way, the county guard is quite discerning. Then he said loudly to the city: "You are not allowed to deceive, if you play any tricks, after the city is broken, all of them will be killed!" The Qin army in the city replied: "We surrender sincerely, and we will never cheat." The military ministers were overjoyed, and ordered the army to stop the siege. There was not much time, and the Qin army really opened the city gate, and an official came out first to submit the surrender letter, saying: "The county guard asks the general to treat his family well." Wu Chen agreed. After the Qin envoy left, Zhang Er said to the military ministers: "The county guards were very arrogant a few days ago, and now they suddenly surrender, I am afraid that there will be fraud." Wuchen said: "They originally wanted to resist stubbornly, but now they see that our army is attacking so strongly, and there are no reinforcements, so they decided to surrender, which is a reasonable thing." Zhang Er said: "Even so, it's better to be cautious." Wu Chen called over the guards Shao Shao and Chen Yu, and asked them to bring a group of men and horses to ambush on both sides of the military camp in case of accidents.

At this time, I saw a person walking out of the city gate, and he banged the gong and announced loudly: "All the Qin troops have surrendered, now go out of the city to disarm, and then ask General Wu to enter the city to take over the affairs!" Immediately afterwards came a group of sergeants, some with torches, some with weapons, and the ranks were uneven, and they all came to the front of the camp with their heads bowed and disarmed. In a few moments, the weapons were piled up into a small mountain. When they came to the front of the camp, a general suddenly rushed out of the city gate, brandishing a halberd and shouting: "I am the county lieutenant, follow me to kill the thief!" When the Qin army heard the order, they all raised their weapons and suddenly slaughtered the camp of the righteous army. Wu Chen had already taken precautions, so he made a move of the flag, and suddenly heard the war drums beating together, and the shouts on both sides of the military camp were loud, Shao Shao and Chen Yu led the army to kill and surround the Qin army.

The two sides fought a scuffle, the Qin army was defeated, and the county lieutenant never fought, but was killed by Chen Yu and Shao Sao. Wu Chen, Zhang Er and others led the brigade to cross the moat and rush towards the city. When the county guard heard that the rebels had entered the city, he fled out of the north gate. Zhang Er often haunts here, and is indeed very familiar with the path of Hebei, and when he kills the government office, he can't find the county guard, so he knows where the county guard went, so he personally led the troops to chase after him, came to Baima Jindu, and really caught the county guard. Zhang Er scolded angrily: "Why do you not believe what you say? Then he ordered the sergeant to take the seal first, and then chop him into a pulp. Zhang Er killed the county guard and his family, so he came to the city and handed over the county guard seal to the military ministers. At this time, the generals of the rebel army had already arrested all the officials of the Qin State and marched through the streets. When the people saw them, they gritted their teeth with hatred and threw things at them. Zhang Er and Chen Yu also hated the officials of the Qin State very much, so they persuaded the military ministers to kill them. Wu Chen saw that Zhang Er and Chen Yu were indeed remarkable, so he obeyed their orders and buried all the officials of the Qin State alive. Zhang Er hated the Qin people deeply, and in order to relieve his hatred, he ordered the sergeants to kill all the Qin troops who surrendered. Wuchen got the eastern county, and then sent troops to attack separately and captured the counties to which they belonged.

One day, the military ministers rewarded the soldiers and set up a banquet in the palace. During the banquet, Zhang Er said to Wu Chen: "The general is stubborn and stubborn, and he has no way to cut down and punish Qin, which is a great achievement." Now that you've captured the East County, you deserve a resounding title for your merit. Wu Chen asked what kind of title he should get. Zhang Er said: "Wu Xinjun! Wu Chen was shocked: "At this time, the most honorable title of Chu State, how dare I hope for it?" Zhang Er said: "The general raised troops for an expedition, the purpose is to seize the entire territory of Hebei, if you don't have this title, how can you call on the people?" Moreover, the north of the river is thousands of miles in circumference and has a vast area, so it should live up to its name. Wu Chen thought for a long time and said, "I'm afraid that the king won't agree." Zhang Er said: "Send a messenger to Chencheng to report the victory, and then ask for canonization, Chen Sheng will definitely agree." Zhang Er had already directly called King Chen's name at this time, which showed how much he hated King Chen. Wu Chen was already drunk at this time, and his heart was already excited, so he said: "I'm going to ask for the title, I don't know what other generals think?" Zhang Er said: "The eldest husband has established his own career, no matter what others think, you just have to let it go, I will definitely help the general achieve hegemony!" The military minister was overjoyed, so he immediately sent someone to Chen Cheng to ask for the title.

The envoy came to Chen Cheng and first said that the military offensive was very smooth, and then asked for instructions. King Chen was furious when he heard this: "Since ancient times, the title of meritorious person has been determined based on merit, how can there be a reason to ask for the title by himself?" Shangzhu Guo Cai Ci felt that something was wrong, so he said: "King, the generals have the merit of siege and field warfare, and if they don't add titles, they can't boost morale." King Chen was about to get angry, but Wang Zhi hurriedly signaled him not to be angry. King Chen first repelled the envoy, and then said: "The generals have all the merits of field battles, but the military ministers ask for the title of Wu Xinjun, what is the reason?" Wang Zhi said: "Wuchen is a rough man, where can he have so many ideas?" This must be the meaning of opening your ears! This man has a lot of money, and I have long seen that he will cause trouble, and now it is, right? If the king does not agree, they will disobey your commands. King Chen said angrily: "Recall that old thief Zhang Er as soon as possible!" Cai Ci said: "The king can't." This person is treacherous and unpredictable, not comparable to Ge Ying, and he will not be recalled, but will make things happen! Chen Wang asked what to do. Cai Ci said: "Just reward them according to their request, stabilize them first, otherwise the generals will change their minds and the big thing will go!" King Chen was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Subsequently, King Chen sent an envoy to Puyang to canonize the military ministers. Wu Chen got the title of Wu Xinjun as he wished, and he was so happy that he was like taking stimulants, so he held a banquet in the palace to entertain Zhang Er and Chen Yu. Ten days later, all parties came to report that all the counties had surrendered, but Fan Yangling refused to surrender. Wu Xinjun was furious and decided to attack Fanyang City in person.

Fan Yang ordered Xu Renxian, known as Xu Gong, about forty years old, very honest, when he heard that the rebels had buried all the officials of the Qin State alive when they conquered Puyang and some other places, he was so frightened that his blood pressure soared, he was dizzy, and he couldn't sleep for several days and nights, so he called on the army and the people to resolutely resist and never surrender. One day, Xu Chengcheng was patrolling the city, and suddenly saw a bunch of people surrounding the city gate, arguing fiercely, so he asked what was going on. Someone in the city replied in a loud voice, "My lord, there is a crazy old man who must see you." We were afraid that if we didn't let him in, he would make a big fuss. Xu Gong thought for a while and said, "Let him come in." The sergeants let the old man into the city. The old man hummed and sang popular songs, and swaggered into the city.

Xu Gong went down to the city to meet the old man, and found him unkempt, with a gray beard, high cheekbones, long eyebrows, very dark skin, and a wine gourd in his hand. When Xu Gong saw that he was a little old, he made a gesture and said, "May I ask the honorable surname?" Why are you here? The old man replied: "The old man's surname is Kuai, and he likes to travel all over the world." I'm seeing that Lord Masama is dying, so I'm here to offer my condolences! But if you listen to me, you will be able to turn the corner, so I congratulate you again! Xu Gong was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked, "What?" What? What did you say? The old man smiled and said, "The old man saw that you were in trouble, so he came to save you." Xu Gong saw that this person was very angry, and thought that there must be a reason, so he respectfully asked: "Seniors don't have to pretend to be mysterious, you can say anything you want, right?" Kui Che sneered: "Are you letting the old man stand on the street and talk?" Xu Gong hurriedly invited him to the mansion, and let Kui Che sit on the top with a courtesy, and then asked for advice respectfully.

Kui Che then said eloquently: "My lord has been Fan Yangling for more than ten years, during this period, you have used the laws of the Qin State to execute many people, some have cut their hearts and lungs, some have cut their tongues and feet, and some have tattooed their faces, how many people have you made widows, widows, lonely, and lonely?" How many people's families have you ruined too? That's why the common people hate you very much, hate! I'm talking about hate, not hate, but you have to hear me clearly? However, they didn't dare to complain, just because of the existence of Qin Law. Now that the world is in turmoil, the Qin Law can no longer be implemented normally, so the adults must be in a catastrophe. Now that the army of Chu has conquered Puyang, I heard that King Zhang Chu has made Wuchen Wu Xinjun, and his army is about to come to the city, so that the people in the city will definitely take this opportunity to take revenge, they will definitely pick up sharp weapons, suddenly attack, and aim their bayonets at your chest! May I ask my lord, isn't it wrong for the old man to come and mourn you? Xu Gong was shocked and said: "What you always said is right, it is exactly like this, what should I do?" Can you please save me? Xu Gong said that, and knelt on the ground with a thud. Kui Che laughed and said: "Don't worry, my lord, when the Chu army comes, the old man will go to lobby Wu Xinjun for you, and you will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety, and you will be blessed by misfortune, so I congratulate my lord again!" After hearing this, Gong Xu hurriedly set up a banquet to thank Kui Che. During the feast, they asked him why he had come to save himself. Kui Che smiled: "Your lord is not bad, it's just that the laws of the Qin State are too harsh. When Xu Gong heard this, his heart was steady.

The next day, Wu Xinjun really came to the city. Kuaiche said goodbye to Duke Xu, went out of the city proudly, and walked straight to Chuying. Quercher came to the camp and shouted, "Chelcher has come to the camp, go and report to your leader!" The rebels tied him in to see Wu Xinjun. When Wu Xinjun saw that the sergeants had caught an old man who was not black and crazy, he felt that it was not very interesting, and he didn't bother to ask his name, so he looked at him directly and ignored him. The sergeant reported: "Wu Xinjun, his name is Kui Che." Wu Xinjun saw that he was untidy and looked strange, so he smiled and asked, "Old man, we are going to fight, what are you doing here?" Aren't you afraid of death? Kui Che suddenly laughed and said: "The old man has a little secret trick, you can win the fight without spending a single soldier, and you can also get the whole of Hebei!" Are you just for this little Fanyang City? Wu Xinjun listened to his words, and was in awe, and immediately changed his arrogant attitude, and said, "What good plan do you have?" Kuaiche looked at the rope that tied him and said, "Is this the habit of your Chu people to treat guests like this?" Wu Xinjun hurriedly untied him personally, and then asked him to sit down, and asked politely: "What do you always think, please give advice?" Seeing that Wu Xinjun's attitude had changed greatly, Kui Che said eloquently: "I am from the city, I know very well the truth inside, Fan Yangling has been preparing for war for a long time, and there are several large warehouses for sharp arrows alone, if they shoot all these arrows at your soldiers, not only will you not be able to win against him, but you will not even be able to enter the city gate!" Wu Xinjun asked puzzledly: "The other counties have surrendered, why is he so desperate to resist?" Kui Che smiled: "The general is wrong, he is not dead, but too dead!" The old man knew that Fan Yangling was a ghost who was afraid of death, no! Not only is he afraid of death, but he is also very greedy for wealth and wealth, so he swears to defend the city to the death! Think about it, didn't he keep the city to save his life and glory? Hehe, why don't you understand such a simple truth? ”

Wu Xinjun also smiled: "Even so, I still have to take the city, catch him, pick his skin, pull his tendons, and cut off the brains of all those who resist!" Kui Che smiled: "It's not necessary, there are so many people who want to kill him, how can I use you to do it?" He is now calling on the army and the people to organize death squads, because the general captured the city and killed all the officials of the Qin State, those who resisted also died, and those who surrendered also died, both horizontally and vertically, so they had to fight to the death. Wu Xinjun listened to Kui Che's words and felt that it was very reasonable, so he asked if there was any good way to make them surrender. Kui Che said: "Today's general raised troops here for the sake of Fan Yangling's refusal to surrender. But if you do the opposite, pardon Fan Yangling first, and crown him as a marquis, so that he will be grateful to Dade and take the lead in leading all the people to come and surrender to the general, Fan Yangcheng will be at your fingertips. If the general asks Fan Yangling to take a few words to ask Qin Weiwen, and then take the big carriage you gave him, hold the marquis's seal, cross the river, and gallop back and forth in the land of Yan and Zhao, run a few laps, and let others see your rewards and kindness, then all the officials in the land of Yan and Zhao will rush to hand over the seal, which is called 'the army that surrenders without a fight', and 'the land of a thousand miles is determined by the spread'! Doesn't the general like this? Wu Xinjun was overjoyed when he heard this, so he hurriedly bowed to Xie Kui Che and said: "What the old gentleman said is simply very good, I will do it immediately, and according to your wishes, I will seal Fan Yang Ling as 'Marquis of Puyang', and now please go and tell me what I mean immediately." After the deed is done, I will definitely thank you again! ”

Seeing that Wu Xinjun readily agreed to his conditions, Kui Che happily came to see Xu Gong and truthfully conveyed Wu Xinjun's intentions. When Duke Xu learned that Wu Xinjun was going to make him the Marquis of Puyang, he was so happy that he almost turned his back on him, meaning that he immediately decided to surrender to the Chu army. There were many people in the city who wanted to kill Duke Xu, and now that they heard that he had been named Marquis of Puyang by General Chu, they didn't dare to act rashly. Wu Xinjun then led the rebel army into Fanyang City to meet Xu Gong. Subsequently, it was announced that all the laws and regulations of the Qin State would be abolished, and the Qin army would also be reorganized into the Chu army, and all the officials and soldiers of the Qin State who surrendered to Cheng would be treated leniently, and no one would be killed. The soldiers and civilians of the whole city shouted Long live Wu Xinjun. Duke Xu was very happy, so he slaughtered cattle and sheep, and personally rewarded the Chu army, and the city was full of jubilation.

The next day, Wu Xinjun asked Kuaiche to write an essay on Qin, to the effect that:

Qin Shi Bao government, cruelty to the people, more than ten years. The people of the Six Kingdoms had been suffering from the Qin State for too long, and their brutal rule had not only afflicted people, but also affected livestock and trees. When they built the Great Wall, they had already emptied the people; When the second built the Afang Palace, the people were also bored. Look at the Yingzheng Lili Mountain, which is full of thousands of unjust souls; Looking at the majestic imperial industry of the Qin State, it is all made of white bones. It's hateful that this second boy now, he actually killed his brothers and sisters and killed ministers, and his femme fatale is rarely seen by living old people, and it is indescribable. Now that there are more than one million servants and resentful women in the world, the common people have been forced to be desperate, so they have risen up. Imagine that if the Chu people don't have troops today and don't raise things tomorrow, everyone still doesn't know when death will come and come.

The great King Zhang Chu, he finally stood up with the determination not to be afraid of death and the fearless spirit of resistance. He firmly advocated the people, led the world, and has ascended to the throne as the king of Zhang Chu. He now commanded the army and the people, and vowed to exterminate the tyrannical Qin, just to recreate a civilized Chinese empire. Everyone must fight for themselves, and everyone must fight for themselves. People from all directions, please see the text and resolutely do not lose the opportunity; O man of flesh, come and show your skills as soon as possible; Heroes who are not afraid of death, take up arms as soon as possible and come to join the army; Yan and Zhao Zi were originally a gathering place for tragic and generous people in ancient times, please don't sit still; The land of the north is vast and vast, and it has always been a place for heroes; When you see the text, please rush to tell me, don't miss the great opportunity to make a contribution.

Wu Xinjun read the text and praised it greatly, so he asked the civilian clerk to copy dozens of copies, and then handed it to Xu Renxian. Wu Xinjun let him sit in a specially prepared luxury carriage, equipped with hundreds of retinues, and then took the inscription with him, and went to Handan County to recruit the Qin officials there. After Duke Xu received the order, he crossed the Yellow River from Baimajin and galloped all the way, pasting the text wherever he went. In this way, the officials of the counties were very envious when they saw the text and saw that Duke Xu was promoted from a small county order to a county commander and a marquis, so they took the official seal and led the army to Dongjun to surrender.

Duke Xu finally came to Handan City, and Li Liang, the county guard, also received him. Li Liang is a famous general of the Qin State, known as the 'Hebei Tiger', and has the courage of ten thousand people. At this time, seeing that all the people went to surrender to the Chu army, they had no choice but to follow the crowd and come to surrender with the county lieutenant Xue Yue and the county supervisor Zhang Qiang. When Wu Xinjun heard that Li Liang was coming, he was overjoyed, so he personally went to the Yellow River to greet him, and the ceremony was also very grand. In the end, all the officials were driven back to Puyang City by car, and then the cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and they were warmly entertained and celebrated. In this way, the entire territory of Handan has become the territory of the Chu State. A few days later, Wu Xinjun led a large army across the Yellow River, came to Hebei, and stationed in Handan City, which alarmed the north.
