Chapter 21: A spark can start a prairie fire
On the straight road to Xianyang, the black dragon flag covers the sky and the sun, and the army stretches for dozens of miles.
Zhao Fusu straddled on the back of the divine horse Wu Qi, still with his eyes closed, quietly running the cultivation of the Supreme Martial Technique "Great Dao Emperor Canon", without slackening.
The black horse maintained its own rhythm and carried its master forward steadily.
"Urgent report!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched shout came.
His eyelashes fluttered, and Zhao Fusu opened his eyes.
I saw a black-armored knight galloping towards where he and Meng Tian were.
When the war horse came closer, the black-armored knight jumped off the horse with great agility and respectfully sent a roll of bamboo slips to the eldest son.
Zhao Fusu took the bamboo slip and opened it to check it.
The contents on the bamboo slips are:
Chen Sheng rose up against Qin in Yangcheng, and the people responded in groups, and tens of thousands of people had gathered in just ten days, and the number of people was also soaring......
After reading it, Zhao Fusu frowned slightly, and couldn't help sighing:
"My 'butterfly' descended on Daqin, and with a light flap of its wings, it still moved the whole body after all, causing a butterfly effect."
According to the official history, Chen Sheng was originally going to rebel against Qin in Daze Township with Wu Guang in 209 BC.
But now, Chen Sheng rebelled alone in Yangcheng, Chen County, a year ahead of schedule.
Zhao Fusu knew that all these changes were triggered in advance by his own crossing of the eldest son Fusu and the confrontation with Qin II Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.
"Eldest son, what's the matter with the secret report?" Meng Tian, who was beside him, saw that Fusu's face was not good, and asked.
Zhao Fusu handed him the bamboo slip and said, "Look." ”
After Meng Tian took the bamboo slip and read the content, his face changed drastically, and he said:
"Eldest son, Chen Sheng's uprising is like a fire falling into the dry grass in autumn, which will definitely ignite the entire grassland, and the territory of Daqin will rise together, and the world will be in chaos.
You must quickly storm Xianyang, regain the throne, and take control of Great Qin, so as to completely suppress the rebellion of Chen Sheng and his ilk.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to recover from the flood, and it will definitely lead to a catastrophe, and at that time, there will be no power to return to the sky. ”
From this secret report, Meng Tian felt a huge crisis.
He was very knowledgeable and knew the situation of the Qin Dynasty very well:
Soon after the First Emperor swept the Six Kingdoms to unify the world, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were about to restore the country;
Under the heavy conscription and strict laws, the people also complained;
In addition, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao usurped the throne, and the eldest son Fusu wanted to take back the imperial power.
At this time, Chen Sheng's uprising will definitely restore the remnants of the Six Kingdoms......
Zhao Fusu looked at this confidant and beloved general, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
Meng Tian's inference was not bad at all, after the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guangze Township in the official history, the entire Great Qin was completely chaotic.
Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang...... Many heroes and spirits jumped out one after another and began to fight against Qin.
In the entire Qin realm, wolf smoke was everywhere, and war was raging.
In just a few years, these anti-Qin forces pushed the Qin Dynasty, the first unified dynasty in China established by the First Emperor, into the abyss of destruction.
Zhao Fusu bowed his head and said: "General Meng's words are reasonable, what you said is exactly what this son is worried about!" ”
He ordered: "The army is advancing at full speed and heading for Yunyang City!" ”
Soon, the military order spread throughout the army, and the army marched forward mightily.
However, Zhao Fusu frowned.
He thought that in the next battle of Yunyang City, because Zhang Han personally commanded it, it would be much more difficult to break the city.
Zhang Han took precautions in advance, and wanted to take the means of attacking Gaonu City again, killing the main general with arrows first, and then breaking through the city gate with his personal courage to achieve the goal of breaking the city quickly, but it was no longer feasible.
It is estimated that Zhang Han will use a boulder to directly close the Yunyang City Gate.
In this way, the army of King Qin led by Zhao Fusu and Meng Tian could only storm Yunyang from the front, which would inevitably cause a large number of casualties.
And, the last thing Zhao Fusu wants to see is a large number of casualties among the Great Qin Ruishi.
Because, next, he will lead the Great Qin Ruishi to suppress the rebellions of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, and also fight against the Xiongnu.
If the Great Qin Ruishi suffered serious losses, it would be very unfavorable to Zhao Fusu's future situation.
"You must think of a trick, outwit you, and conquer Yunyang!" He said secretly.
Zhao Fusu used his brains, diverged his thinking, and actively thought about ways to break the city.
……
Qin Imperial Capital, Xianyang, Imperial Palace.
Chen Sheng rebelled in Yangcheng, and the news that there were tens of thousands of servants in just a few days reached Huhai last night.
This news shook the government and the opposition.
The first emperor died, and the son Hu Hai just ascended the throne, and the eldest son Fusu led the Great Wall Army Qin Wang together with the general Meng Tian.
Now, the rebellion of the second son to seize the throne is in full swing, and an uprising has broken out.
This is simply worse for the young Great Qin Empire.
If not handled properly, Great Qin will fall apart.
Qin II Hu Hai discussed with Li Si, Zhao Gao, Feng Quji, etc., for a whole night, and finally decided to send the general Feng Zao to organize 200,000 old and weak Lishan prisoners and slaves to Chen County to suppress Chen Sheng's uprising.
The strong men among the Lishan prisoners and slave births were all selected by the general Zhang Han in front and mixed into the Great Qin Ruishi.
……
At night, the Great Qin Empire's Huiji County, the county guard's mansion, was brightly lit, and a cold atmosphere was permeated.
Xiang Yu, who was as strong as an iron tower and had a heroic aura, stood at the gate of the county guard mansion with a sword at his waist, and looked into the door from time to time, looking a little anxious.
There was a team of guards at the gate, who could not enter without the permission of the county guard.
In the mansion, in a hall.
Fake Shou (Acting County Shou) Yin Tong and Xiang Liang sat face to face.
Yin Tong's face was full of solemnity, and he said:
"General Xiang, now the Great Qin Dynasty:
There are two sons who seized the throne first, and then recently there is the Yangcheng hero Chen Sheng's uprising, which can be described as a beacon fire, and the people are not happy;
There are northern Xiongnu outside, and Toumanshan Yu will definitely take the opportunity of the civil strife in Daqin, and the handsome grassland cavalry will go south to attack Jiuyuan and Hetao.
Daqin can be described as internal and external troubles, and it has already penetrated into the bone marrow, and it will not be long before it will fall apart.
This is a heaven-sent opportunity for heroes in the world, which is not encountered in a hundred years. ”
At this point, Yin Tong paused.
Xiang Liang looked at Yin Daodao with deep eyes: "Lord County Shou, how are you going to go?" ”
Rise!
The county guard Yin Tongwu stood up, thinking that he was arrogant and dry:
"We must seize this opportunity!
The county guard decides: Let you and Huan Chu lead the army to revolt as the general, respond to Yangcheng Chen Sheng, overthrow the tyrannical Qin, and save the world from fire and water! ”
Xiang Liang heard the sound and was silent for a while.
In his chest, there was already a murderous hatch.
The uprising that the county shou Yintong said was exactly what Xiang Liang thought.
For this reason, he has been gathering the hearts of the people in Huiji County, making friends with heroes, and actively preparing to fight against Qin one day.
However, Xiang Liang's status is noble, but after Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, how can he follow this Yin Tong?!
Xiang Liang believes that the uprising in Huiji County should be led by Xiang Liang.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.
Yin Tong must die!
"General Xiang, don't hesitate." Yin Tong saw that the other party was speechless, and urged.
Little did he know that death was already at his side.
Only then did Xiang Liang speak:
"Lord Commander, I completely agree with the uprising.
But Huan Chu fled outside, and people didn't know where he was, only Xiang Yu knew about it.
Please summon Xiang Yu in and let him lead the order to find Huan Chu. ”
Yin Tong didn't doubt him, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Xiang Liang immediately went out and called Xiang Yu in.
Before Yin Tong could speak, Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu and took the lead and said, "Yu'er, do it!" ”
