However, it was said that there was a farmer in Yangcheng County, whose surname was Chen Mingsheng, who was poor when he was young and had no way to make a living, so he had to be hired by his family and became a farmer. Although he was sent to serve as a laborer, his ambition was different. One day in the field of ploughing, supporting the plough and the oxen, the call corresponding, about the time of the sun, has been a little tired, then put down the plow, climbed the ridge and sat down, looking at the sky sighing. The servant who worked with him saw that he was resentful, and said that he was sick, and could not help but question. Chen Sheng said: "You don't have to ask me, if I am determined to enjoy wealth and prosperity once, but I want you to go to peace and happiness together, so that you will not forget each other!" When the servant heard this, he sneered and said, "You are a servant farmer, and you are as poor as us." What do you want to be rich? Chen Sheng sighed: "Alas, the bird's ambition is known! He sighed a few more times. Look at the red sun sinking in the west, but go down to the ridge to harvest the plough and return home.

"The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird!" It's hard to believe that this is coming from the mouth of a farmer, which is almost like a schoolboy doing a high school math problem. He believed that the life that those who were born into the noble could also have for the people at the bottom. Just ask a farmer who farms the land every day, does he really know what a prince and general are? Know what everything they have?

There was once a joke about two peasants chatting together, and they thought that the emperor must have used a golden hoe, because in their world, the hoe was the most common item, and this is why there is such a word. But in fact, the emperor probably didn't even know what a hoe was, because he didn't have it in his life. So Chen Sheng didn't know what the life of the prince and general was like.

In the autumn and July of the first year of Qin II, the imperial court issued an edict: "The local officials sent 900 poor people to serve as soldiers and went to Yuyang to guard against the Xiongnu." ”

The magistrate inspected by name, and saw that Chen Sheng was tall and magnificent, so he secretly appreciated it and pulled out the tun chief. There is also a Yangxia man Wu Guang's torso similar to Chen Sheng, which also made him and Chen Sheng the head of the tun, and led the public to Yuyang together. And they were given Sichuan money, and a predetermined time limit told them to go hard, and not to drown on the way. Of course, Chen and Wu responded to the order, but the magistrate was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he even sent two generals and lieutenants to supervise the companions.

Several days to Daze Township, there are still thousands of miles away from Yuyang City, suitable for continuous rain, along the way many obstacles. Jiangnan and Jiangbei are originally water towns, and Daze is more low-lying. I had no choice but to stay on the spot and wait until it was sunny before we could set off. But the rain refused to stop, and the water rose again, causing a group of soldiers to be in a dilemma and resentful of each other. Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang didn't know each other before, they are now colleagues, but they also share hardships and hardships.

So they secretly discussed with each other: "If you want to go to Yuyang now, the future is far away, and you can't reach it in January or February." The deadline for the official is approaching, and it is inevitable that the calculation will be overdue, and the Qin Law should be cut off if it is out of time, should I be willing to die? Wu Guang jumped up and said: "It's the same death, why don't you escape!" Chen Sheng shook his head and said: "Escaping is not the best policy. Imagine that you and I are in the same place, where can we go to? Even if there is a way to escape, he will be caught and beheaded by poisonous hands. If you go, you will die, if you don't go, you will die, it is better to do another big thing, survive in death or get rich. Wu Guang said abruptly: "We have no power and no power, how can we do big things?" Chen Sheng said: "The world has been suffering for a long time, and I only hate the inability to raise troops." I heard that the second emperor was the youngest son of the first emperor, and he should not be established. Gongzi Fusu was old and virtuous, and he repeatedly admonished the first emperor to anger his father, so he was transferred out of the foreign prison to lead the northern army. The second usurped and deliberately killed his brother, and the people may not know everything, but they heard that Fu Su was virtuous, but they did not hear that Fu Su was dead. There is also the Chu general Xiang Yan who has made military exploits and loves to raise soldiers, and the Chu people remember not to decline, or say that he is dead, or that he is dead. If we want to start an incident, it is best to ask the famous son Fusu and Chu general Xiang Yan, and call on the disciples to advocate for the world. I think this place is originally the Chu realm, and everyone hates Emperor Qin deeply, so they must respond to the wind and come to help, and the big thing can be done. ”

On the morning of the next day, Wu Sheng ordered his soldiers to buy fish for dinner, and the soldiers were ordered to buy them, picked up a few big fish, and paid for the purchase. There was one of the largest fish, and his belly was very swollen, and when he was cut open with a knife by his subordinates, he was astonished to see that there was a silk book hidden in his belly. And open a reading, but there is a Dan text in the book, carefully examined, it is the three words of Chen Shengwang, so as not to throw a knife to be surprised. When the public heard the voice, they rushed to see it, and sure enough, the handwriting was correct, and they were surprised by each other. When someone reported to Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng shouted: "How can there be a book in the belly of a fish?" You dare to come and talk nonsense! Do you know the great law of the imperial court? The subordinates just retreated, and they didn't have to worry about cooking fish for food. But it is already a private discussion, and there are mixed suspicions.

At night, although the guards were asleep, they talked about the affairs of the fish's belly, and they were suspicious of each other. Suddenly, a sound came from outside, as if it was a fox howling, and the public felt something different, so they all stopped talking and listened quietly. At first, the sound was vague and unclear, but when I listened closely, I felt that the sound seemed to be human language, which was roughly recognizable. The first sound is Da Chuxing, and the second sound is Chen Shengwang. The crowd recognized the voice, and stood up to look out of the crowd. I saw that outside the camp was a deserted suburb, only the ancient trees in the northwest corner were thick, and there were several ancient shrines, which were covered by trees into a group. The voice came from the ancient ancestral hall, and the wind blew, obviously it was Da Chuxing and Chen Shengwang. What's even more strange is that the fire is faintly exposed in the middle of the bushes, like a lamp but not a lamp, like a fire but not a fire, and it moves to that side in an instant, and then moves to this side in an instant, and the changes are strange and unpredictable. After a while, the light had faded out, and the sound had thinned. The public wanted to go and investigate, but in the middle of the night, the sky was very overcast, and the road was slippery and difficult to walk. In addition, there was an order in the camp that it was not allowed to go out privately at night, so I had to go back to the camp and sleep again. The more I thought about it, the more strange I became, I was shocked and frightened, so I simply turned my tongue silently and fell asleep together.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guangxing these two strategies, secretly investigating the public feelings, some say that the fish will turn into a dragon, so there is this change, and some say that the fox has become an immortal, so it can be predicted. Sheng and Guang looked at each other and smiled, and they were lucky. Although there are two generals and lieutenants in the battalion, they are a pair of foolish worms, he can not be recreational because of the rain, only the contents of the cup as a friend, the two of them drink each other in the town, get drunk, wake up and drink, drunk and sleep, no matter what happens, but let the two commanders go to handle it, no time to ask. Chen Sheng and Wu Guangle tried to manipulate it, and they bought people's hearts in the camp, and their subordinates were willing to use it.

Chen Sheng saw that the time had come, and conspired with Wu Guang again, and broke into the camp tent when the two generals were drunk. Wu Guang said in front of the road: "It rains today, and it rains again tomorrow, it seems that we can't go to Yuyang anymore." Rather than die after the limit, it is better to take the opportunity to go far, and Guangte will know that he is going to leave today. After hearing this, the general said angrily: "Do you dare to violate the law of the country? If you want to go, you will be killed! Wu Guang was not alarmed, and teased: "The two dukes supervised the soldiers and ordered them to go north, and the responsibility is very heavy. These words were very stakes, which provoked the first lieutenant to slap the case with his hand and shout repeatedly. The first lieutenant simply drew his sword and swung it at Guang. Wu Guang's eyes were quick, he flew up and kicked the sword to the ground, picked it up and slashed it forward, and the head of the lieutenant general was immediately killed. There was also a captain who drew his sword and stabbed Guang, and Guang fought with a sword, and the two went back and forth without distinguishing between victory and defeat. Suddenly, a person galloped behind the general, shouted, and the general was knocked down, and another knife resulted in death. This person is the mastermind Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang killed the second lieutenant, and went out of the tent to gather everyone to speak loudly and said: "The princes have come here because of the rain, and they will stay for many days, and when the sky is clear, they will make the starry night advance, and they will not be able to reach Yuyang as scheduled." If you miss the deadline, you may not be able to survive if you are lucky enough to be pardoned. Imagine the cold in the north, the ice and snow cellar, who can afford it? In addition, the Hu people are very fond of plundering, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not take advantage of the gap to invade. We are both cold and sharp, and what is not to die! If the husband doesn't die, he will die famously; It's worth it to be able to risk death. Do princes and generals have special seeds? When the public saw his generosity, they were all moved, and responded in unison: "I wish to listen to the command!" Chen Sheng and Wu Guangxi led everyone into the account and instructed the corpse of the second lieutenant, and sure enough, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the body was in a different place. When Chen Sheng announced the order, he took the head and hung it with a rod. While directing the public to build an altar outside the camp, he made the head of the second lieutenant into a sacrificial flag. There is a big book on the flag with a Chu character. Chen Sheng was the leader, Wu Guang was the deputy, and the rest of the people were tied in order, bowed to the banner a few times, and used wine as a foundation. After the laying was completed, the blood on the head of the second lieutenant dripped into the wine, and drank it in turn, and the public drank the concentric wine, of course, they swore to the flag, and they were willing to serve Chen Sheng as the main and rebel together. Chen Sheng proclaimed himself a general, Wu Guang was the captain, and the country was named Da Chu. Then he commanded the people to put their right arms on their signs. On the one hand, he drafted a text, falsely claiming that Gongzi Fusu and Chu general Xiang Yan were already in the army and were divided into commanders. Xiang Yan and Qin are enemies, if they don't die, how can they support Fusu? Although Chen Sheng is wise, his plan is also wrong.

As soon as the text was issued, he led the crowd out of Daze Township. There were three elders in the township, and there were husbands, and they had already fled when they heard that Chen Sheng had rebelled. Chen Sheng immediately occupied Daze Township as the location of the incident. The inhabitants scattered, leaving behind their homes with iron rakes and other kinds, all of which were plundered by the public and used as weapons, and they cut wood into sticks in the mountains and cut bamboos into flags. It took several busy days to prepare the army. God is also strange, it actually released sunlight to sweep away the clouds, and it was sunny for half a month in a row, and the water retreated early. The public thought that the fruit had been helped by God, and they were particularly energetic and ready to set off, and outlaws from all over the world also gathered to help one after another. So Chen Sheng ordered his men to march north. It turned out that Daze Township was under the jurisdiction of Qi County, and Chen Sheng sent troops to attack Qi County first. Qi County is not dangerous, there are few guards, and the county officials are incompetent, how can they be protected? As soon as he heard that Chen Sheng was coming, the city was already frightened, and as a result, the officials fled and surrendered. Chen Shengbing was bloodless, and he had already settled in the county seat.

Chen Sheng attacked Chen again, with six or seven hundred cars, more than 1,000 cavalry, and tens of thousands of foot soldiers. The county ordered him to come out, but only the county was guarded, but he stubbornly recruited the guards to open the city and fight. Chen Sheng and others all the way to the wind like a bamboo, all the life strength has not been exerted, this time to Chen County, suddenly saw the city gate open, actually crowded out hundreds of people to fight, the victory of the crowd together with their hands, the front has knives and guns, indiscriminately slashing and poking fiercely. The rear team also insisted on wooden sticks, iron rakes and other types to sweep past. The defenders were weak and did not dare to fight, but they were forced by the county and had no choice but to go out of the city to take the battle. A slight miss was knocked over, a slight retreat was washed down, hundreds of soldiers and horses, dead to death, fleeing, the county Cheng saw that it was invincible and ran back. The Zhisheng people chased after him, and they didn't even have time to close the gates. The county had no way to run, so he had to turn over and fight for his life, after all, he was desperate and was finally killed by the winners.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guanglian entered the city, and also wanted to clean up people's hearts and prohibit plunder, and posted notices everywhere, saying that they were to remove the crime of tyrannical hanging and felling. After a few days, the three old heroes were called on to discuss together, and the three old heroes came to the meeting when they heard the news, and Chen Sheng was summoned by Wenyan to ask about the aftermath. But everyone said in unison: "The general is stubborn and stubborn, has no way, punishes the tyrannical Qin, and restores the state of Chu, and his achievements are incomparable, and he should immediately be the king and serve as the people." These few sentences are exactly the right thing, but it is inconvenient to answer for a while, and you must always give in a few words before you can show your humility. At the moment, he said a few lies, and the three old heroes praised this praise and persuaded them again and again. Chen Sheng was about to promise, but suddenly someone outside came to report, saying that the second soldier of Daliang had come to ask for a meeting. Chen Sheng asked for his name, and then said to the left and right, "Are these two people also coming to see me?" I have heard of the good names of the two of them, and now I have achieved all of them. As he spoke, he ordered to go out to greet him, and he sat down in person and waited on the steps.

However, he said that the two soldiers of Daliang came to pay homage to Chen Sheng, one was called Zhang Er, and the other was called Chen Yu. The two are not far from the home of Daliang. Zhang Er is old, Chen Yu is young, so Yu is like a father, and Yu is like a child, and the two swear to live and die together, and they are called friends at the time.

Zhang Er used to be a guest of Wei Gongzi, and then ran away from Waihuang because of a crime, and Waihuang had a rich girl, who was born as beautiful as a flower, and became famous, but married a mediocre slave, so as not to avoid the husband and wife turning against each other, and there were complaints from time to time. One day again, they made noise and even coaxed each other, the rich girl has a beautiful figure, how can she afford the old fist of her husband! In a hurry, he escaped from his husband's house and sneaked to his father's house to hide from trouble. Seeing that her face was full of tears and pitiful, the father said to the rich girl, "If you don't want to marry a slave, why don't you ask for a good husband again." I have one in mind, I don't know if you want to? The rich girl vaguely agreed. The father ordered the girl to stand behind the screen and go out by herself. The film introduces a handsome gentleman, deliberately speaking loudly and speaking. The rich girl showed half of her face from behind the screen, and she looked at each other slightly, and she was really gentle and elegant, very different from her ex-husband. The father sends the guest in and out with the female language; The woman asked the name of the visitor, only to know that it was the Daliang people who opened their ears, and they were intoxicated, and they couldn't wait to be with them. The father was familiar with the father of the rich girl, and asked the daughter to remarry Zhang Er. The daughter-in-law was originally doting and listened to him pass on. Zhang Er had both a beautiful woman and a woman's wealth, so he simply made friends with distant guests, and his reputation was widely extended, and his reputation gradually reached Wei Ting. Lord Wei did not remember the previous sorrows, but used Zhang Er as the outer yellow order. A rich girl has to be a county lady, which is even more comfortable.

Chen Yu was good at reading when he was young, and liked to visit, and occasionally went to the bitter place of Zhao State, and invited the rich man to appreciate him, and he was willing to recruit him as a son-in-law. The woman's appearance is also good, Chen Yu is naturally happy, and she will choose a day to become a gift. The two have no guesses, and they are a good couple.

Zhang and Chen are both Hongluanxing. and Wei was destroyed by Qin, Zhang Er lost his official position, and still lived in Waihuang, and Chen Yu also returned to his hometown with his wife. Unexpectedly, the Qin Dynasty actually hung a reward to buy two people, and the reward was written in Huanghuang on it, and Zhang Er was rewarded with a thousand gold, and Chen Yu was rewarded with five hundred gold. The two didn't know why, but they were in a hurry to escape, so they had to change their names and surnames to avoid living in Chen County, serving as the main prison gate.

After listening carefully, Fang knew that Qin Ling was arrested, and he was afraid that the two of them would be able to revive Wei again, so they wanted to get rid of it. Zhang Er came up with a plan and ordered Li Zhong in the name of the prison gate, asking him to visit Zhang Er and Chen to reward him, but in fact, Zhang Chen and the others were himself. What a plan it is for the thief to cry out and catch the thief.

The two of them entered and saluted Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng was busy answering and leading him to the front of the seat, and asked him to sit on both sides, and then discussed the military situation with him, and talked about the opinion of being the king. Zhang Er replied: "Qin is unreasonable, destroys the country, destroys the people's society, exterminates the heirs, exhausts the people's strength, exhausts the people's wealth, and is tyrannical. Today's general is blatant, and he will die regardless of his life to drive out the remnants of thieves for the world, which is really a righteous act. But now that he has just made his fortune to Chen, he is eager to entertain himself with the title of king, and he will not take it for stealing as a general! May the general not be in a hurry to claim the king, but lead the troops to the west and point directly at the Qin capital, the emperor can be successful, what is the use of being the king? Speaking of this, seeing Chen Sheng silent, he seemed to be unhappy. Just as he was about to persuade again, Chen Yu had already said: "The general doesn't want to calm the four seas, but it's okay, if you have a big plan." If you want to be the king based on only a corner, I am afraid that the world will suspect that the general has selfish intentions, and when the people are disappointed, the general will regret it! Chen Sheng pondered for a long time and said, "Let's wait for another discussion." The two of them didn't speculate when they saw each other, and they wanted to say goodbye, but because of many obstacles on the way, they had to temporarily settle down and make plans again, so they stayed under Chen Sheng as a staff officer. Chen Sheng actually established himself as the king, and the country name Zhang Chu implied the meaning of Zhang Da Chu.

At this time, the counties of Henan were bitter and harsh, and the wealthy people killed many officials and responded to Chen Sheng. Chen Shengnai made Wu Guang a false king and supervised the generals to attack Xingyang in the west. Zhang Er Chen Yu also wanted to take advantage of this to leave Chenyi, so he offered a plan: "The king raised troops to Liang Chu, aiming to enter the customs and Jianye in the west, and the ministers tried to visit Zhaodi, knew the terrain of Hebei, and made friends with many heroes. After hearing this, Chen Sheng called it a strange plan, and he specially selected the pen man Wuchen as the general, supervised Zhang Er and Chen Yu, and led 3,000 troops to Zhaodi. The two happily took the order to cross the river to the north.

At this time, Wu Guangjun received a report saying: "The soldiers arrived in Xingyang, and Li Youdengcheng, the defender of Sanchuan County, was firmly defended by Dengcheng, and now he cannot be besieged." Chen Shengnai convened the advisers to discuss the method of attacking Qin. Cai Ci, a native of Shangcai, asked Chen Sheng to send a general to the west, and went straight to Hanguguan to attack Xianyang. Chen Sheng followed Cai Ci's plan and named him Shangzhuguo. On the one hand, he sought a good general, Zhou Wen, who was proficient in military affairs. Chen Sheng was overjoyed and sent a letter to the general, so that he would go west to attack Qin. Zhou Wen was ordered to take the road, collected strong men along the way and organized them into a team, gathered hundreds of thousands of people to drive westward, and arrived at Hangu Pass. Li Youfeizhang was in a hurry, who knew that there seemed to be no one in the Qin court, no matter how urgent he reported, he always didn't hear the soldiers coming to help.
