418 The Great Chaos in the Land of Bashu
The Qingyuwei spy seemed a little embarrassed: "Uh......"
"I didn't catch Gongsun Cheng - when we went, that guy had already run away."
Hong Shi was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.
That's it!
Run, run.
Although he failed to win the enemy general, it was considered an unfinished work - but just a Gongsun Cheng couldn't make any waves at the moment.
"It doesn't matter—let's arrest it." Hong Shishi said.
The captured puppet Shu soldiers were tied up and squatted in an open space, Hong Shi, Chuan Yong, and Chuan Kai got together, and after discussing in a low voice for a while, Chuan Yong walked up to those puppet Shu soldiers and cleared his throat-
"Second and third sons, listen-I am the young patriarch of the Sichuan clan, Chuan Yong, and I am also the deputy general of the Ba people's righteous army!"
"Knowing that you were all coerced by the Qin people, you had no choice but to die for the Qin people."
"Whoever has helped the Qin people to do evil things, who can report it, will be rewarded - the rest of the innocent people can distribute some dry food and go home separately!"
"If you want to take revenge on the Qin people, you can also pick up your weapons and join the rebel army!"
The captives boiled.
Thunderous cheers...... There is nothing to report to report, they are all defenders in the city, and they have no chance to follow the Qin people to burn and loot.
The righteous sergeant stepped forward and untied the ropes for the captives.
Some of them happily received three days of dry food, kowtowed to Chuan Yong, Hong Shi and others repeatedly, and left gratefully.
There are also quite a few people who have long hated the Qin people's dominance.
So he spontaneously rolled up his left sleeve and joined the rebels.
Chenggu City was recovered by the rebels, and his parents and family were rescued from the rule of the Qin people, so naturally they had no worries...... The number of people who signed up for the rebels was very large, and Chuan Yong smiled from ear to ear.
Subsequently, the rebels posted recruitment notices inside and outside the Chenggu city walls.
Anyway, there are still many weapons, and Bashu is not a place where there is a shortage of food.
As long as they sign up, they will all be issued with captured Qin-style weapons and incorporated into the ranks of the rebels.
In just three days, the number of rebels has swelled to more than 5,000.
Although a significant number of them were untrained recruits, this was the case in the Cold Weapon Age - with enough courage, even a rabble of peddlers and pawns could be worth fighting a battle.
And Hong Shi, who led a thousand righteous troops, came to the front of [Baoshui].
Here, it is the transportation artery connecting the Qin State and the land of Bashu.
It took the Qin state ten years to repair the river, making an obscure river a usable canal.
The embankments on both sides of the river are high, and the river is spacious and clear.
Hong Shi secretly sighed in his heart for pity, and then waved his hand: "Dig!" ”
"All the canals, all destroyed!"
"We have ten days to destroy as many rivers as possible!"
As we all know, it is much easier to destroy than to build.
The Qin people recruited countless Bashu people, and it took ten years to build the Baoshui Canal, which was vulnerable in front of the shovels and hoes of a thousand people.
Large swaths of the levees were torn down, and the river became meandering again.
If the Qin people wanted to transport troops to the Bashu region, they needed to march by land and through mountain and forest paths......
In just ten days, the Baoshui Canal has been destroyed by the rebels...... Hong Shishi could only comfort himself in his heart - when the Chu State controlled the land of Bashu in the future, if he wanted to restore the canal, he could use a lot of cement.
It may be much easier to rebuild it.
……
Chenggu fell into the hands of the rebels! The canal is destroyed!
The rebels rested in place for ten days and recruited soldiers on the spot...... Then he marched south and fought all the way against the Qin army stranded in Shudi!
The local puppet Shu army was disheartened and vied with each other to defect.
The land of Bashu is already in chaos!
The rebel army of the Shu people also took the opportunity to cause a big incident, echoing the rebel army of the Ba people, and the results were quite fruitful.
The nominal ruler of the land of Bashu, Marquis Yingyun of Shu, was greatly panicked and commanded the puppet Shu army under his command to fight fires everywhere...... But with little success.
Even many puppet Shu soldiers who had just been recruited, with the weapons and food issued by Yingyun, turned around and took refuge in the rebel army of the Ba people or the Shu people.
Thousands of miles away, a mess!
A few days later, an explosive news came - Chen Ping, the prime minister of Shu, killed the Marquis of Shu Yingyun and established himself as the Marquis of Shu. Then he raised the anti-flag and openly announced that he wanted to break away from the control of the Qin State, so as to win the hearts of the people and fight for power and profit.
At this point, there are already four forces in the original land of Bashu-
Chen Ping, the new Marquis of Shu, basically took over the political legacy and bureaucratic system left by the puppet Shu State, and his comprehensive strength was the strongest.
The Ba rebel army led by Chuan Yong and Hong Shishi.
The Shu rebel army known for its fierceness and good fighting.
Finally, there are the remnants of the Qin officers and soldiers who were stranded in the Bashu region due to the destruction of the canal.
Among them, the Ba Ren Righteous Army and the Shu Ren Righteous Army are tacit allies with each other, and they still do not recognize the position of Shu Marquis that Chen Ping took over - and they can understand that this Chen Ping is not an 'anti-Qin righteous man' at all.
It's just that he saw that the rule of the Qin State had gone, and as a high-ranking official of the puppet Shu State, he was afraid of being liquidated.
In addition, it is necessary to take the opportunity to compete for power.
As a result, there was another big scuffle in the land of Bashu-
The Shu army under Chen Ping fought not only against the Qin soldiers, but also against the Ba rebels and the Shu rebels.
The Ba rebel army and the Shu rebel army echoed each other from afar and fought against Chen Ping together.
The remnants of the Qin army fished in troubled waters, taking advantage of the chaos in the land of Bashu, taking the opportunity to rob homes and houses to support themselves. At the same time, these remnants of the Qin state hated Chen Ping's betrayal more than they hated the two rebel armies of Bashu - so they fought Chen Ping very actively.
The big smash brawl belongs to yes.
The kingdoms of heaven and earth were all shocked by the chaos in Bashu - but it was a pity that it was too far away from this fertile land.
The only people who can have the opportunity to directly send troops to intervene in the situation in Bashu are Qin and Chu.
……
Da Chu, Yingdu.
The newly baked overlord King Chu Huai seems to be a little mellower in appearance.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions - King Chu Huai has been really cool in the past few years.
In the past year, Yun Mengze, the king of Chu Huai, has joined the alliance and ascended to the position of overlord.
Then there was the decline of the Yan State and the cessation of the Qin State...... The envoys of Qi came to proclaim their ministers, and the envoys of Wei and Han traveled closely to Yingdu.
Although the result has not yet been finalized - there is about an eighty percent chance that Wei and Han will finally surrender to the overlord of Great Chu.
Chu Huai Wang Zhi is complacent!
Great Chu expands its territory, and its civil rule and military power shock the world!
It's all from my hands.
Widowed, really Mingjun!
"Go to court!" The attendant outside the door shouted loudly.
King Chu Huai stood up with a blushing face, shook his sleeves, and then walked out of the screen and came to the top of the main hall with the support of two sturdy palace maids.
Dozens of ministers were already standing below in unison, and when they saw King Chu Huai appearing, they bowed down and bowed together: "Ministers, please meet the overlord!" ”
