In the south of the camp, the people were divided into five tuns, each tun 200 people, the red Chu flag fluttered in the wind, several young men dressed like the Chu army took down the Qin flag, threw it into the fire, and the red cloth purchased from the nearby towns was made into the Chu flag and hung high on the flagpole.

Pieces of red linen cloth were torn off, and each person wore one, which was a symbol of the red color of the Chu army, although the dress was shabby, but the fighting spirit of the people was not a lot.

A temporary high platform, two bamboo poles carrying the heads of two generals, this is the Chu army in the sacrifice of the flag.

Several people who knew a little bit of culture took the proclamation, kowtowed to the sky, and then read: "Tyrannical Qin's harsh government, miserable people, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, disturbing my China, the people are covered with white bones, and the flames are raging everywhere, only I Chu State, when adhering to the ancestral system, fighting against the tyrannical Qin, bloody territory, and never retreating......"

After reading the proclamation, Chen Sheng strode to the high platform, and then, Wu Guang also ascended the altar, the two prayed to the heavens, praying for protection, Chen Sheng proclaimed himself a general, Wu Guang was a captain, flattering the orders of the Chu State, and proclaiming the world.

After all the trivial matters were completed, Chen Sheng personally held a knife, made an opening on the head of the general, and dripped blood in the wine bowl, Wu Guang also dripped, at this time, two personal guards came up, carried a bamboo pole, and walked around the head in the crowd, and all the soldiers dripped blood into the bowl, this is concentric wine, Chen Sheng held the wine bowl high, and shouted loudly: "The prince and general, rather have a kind of ......!" ”

This sentence made the crowd boil, and at this time, Chen Sheng said again: "Overthrow the tyrannical Qin, you are all heroes, and you are the pride of the Chu State. ”

"Chen Shengwang! Chen Shengwang! Under the chanting of everyone, Chen Sheng took the lead in drinking the forbidden bowl of wine, and the Chu army marched towards the east.

Maybe it's the favor of God, the day after Chen Sheng rose up, the heavy rain that had been falling for more than a month suddenly stopped, the rainbow hung high in the air, and the warm sun shrouded the earth again, many people were discussing in private, this is a sign from God, it is God's favor, and the Chu army will win!

Three days later, the Chu army led by Chen Sheng spread the message to the Quartet, announcing to the world that the prince Fusu and the Chu general Xiang Yan were in the army, and called on the heroes to jointly resist Qin.

The Chu army was mighty, went straight to Qi County to kill, the red Chu flag fluttered all over the sky, along the way to collect the people to enlist in the army, countless, along the way villages, towns and towns were looted, all iron tools, hoes, rakes, etc. were taken away by the Chu army, as weapons, for a time, the number of Chu troops has been close to 3,000 people.

Since the second emperor Hu Hai ascended the throne, the management of the local treasury has gradually relaxed, buying and selling officials and Changque, and the local government has also learned from Xianyang, annexed land, purchased slaves, and the garrisons in various places have gradually decreased, and the originally powerful Great Qin Iron Army no longer exists.

At this time, the mighty Chu army has come to the city of Qixian County, temporarily close the city gate, dozens of officials stationed in the city, Qi County has no garrison, at this time three thousand Chu army came to kill, although the weapons are simple, the clothes are not covered, but the momentum of the Chu army is murderous.

On the tower of the city, Geng Tong was dumbfounded by the county of Qi County, he had never seen such a large-scale peasant uprising, and besides, they were holding high the Chu flag, and this place was once Chu land, could they resist the attack of the Chu army?

In anxiety, Geng Tong called a cronie and said in a deep voice: "You go to Pengcheng immediately for help, the sooner the better." ”

Personally following the order, he slipped away quietly from the north gate, and watched the thousands of Chu troops under the city show off their might, Geng Tong sighed lightly, and ordered everyone to guard against it.

Three hundred Chu troops went to the mountains to cut down trees, make ladders, under the city tower, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others discussed the battle situation in the Chinese army, and when the ladders were completed, the Chu army would attack Qi County.

The reason why Chen Sheng wanted to attack was because he knew that Qixian had never been garrisoned.

About half an hour later, the Chu army pulled up a five-meter-high ladder, the roaring war drums slowly sounded, the Chu army had no horn, but had to have a gong as a signal to charge, at this time, the Qixian upstairs was ready for battle, dozens of officials trembled, holding Changge, nervous and abnormal.

The sound of the gong suddenly "bell" sounded, three thousand Chu troops in Chen Sheng's order, swarmed out, to the city tower of Qi County to kill, Wu Guang was the first to arrive under the city, more than 100 Chu soldiers set up a ladder, everyone held a wooden stick in their hands, the wooden stick was sharpened as a weapon, some held a rake, hoe, they desperately climbed up to the city, for their own beliefs, in order to live a good life in the future, they fought bravely with the Qin army.

Crying, begging for mercy, the city was in chaos, the Qin army was outnumbered and gradually eliminated, and a few kneeling and begging for mercy were also waved by the Chu army, and the blood flowed and fell to the ground and struggled.

About three hours of the offensive battle, the gate of Qi County slowly opened, on the head of the city, the red Chu flag was waving in the wind, and the soldiers shouted and cheered at the head of the city.

Chen Sheng suppressed the joy in his heart, tidied up his robes, took more than 100 relatives, and walked slowly to the city of Qi County, the people crawled on both sides of the road, eating paste to meet the Chu army, but there were also some Chu troops after taking Qi County, began to loot uncontrollably, rape and kill women, for a time, Qi County fell into dire straits.

Early in the morning, a team of about 500 people, to Qi County, the leader of this team, called Deng Zong, Ruyin people, since childhood rangers in Surabaya County, made a wide range of friends, at this time, Deng Zong learned that Chen Sheng first raised the banner of righteousness, unveiled the pole, conquered Qi County, is to gather more than 100 people, come to like.

In the vicinity of Qi County, there is a desolate scene everywhere, although the righteous army conquered Qi County, but they also brought disaster to the people near Qi County, hundreds of miles of gunpowder smoke, white bones, Deng Zong sighed, and continued to Qi County.

Xicheng of Qi County, here is the place of Qi County's grain, there are three warehouses, more than 1,000 grains, next to the granary, there is a compound, here is the place where the soldiers of Qi County are put together, although the number is not much, only a few hundred sets, but for the self-made Chen Sheng, it is not a small number, at this time, Chen Sheng and the crowd will walk out of the granary, to the side of the warehouse.

With these more than 100 sets of military armor, Chen Sheng decided to arm a team of his own soldiers, but this could not satisfy Chen Sheng's appetite, he wanted to occupy the entire Shandong and completely split the Qin State.

After walking for a while, crossing the bluestone path, everyone came to the warehouse compound, several Chu soldiers walked over, smashed the lock with a stone, and after a crisp sound, several Chu soldiers pushed open the warehouse door.

Chen Sheng and the others walked in and looked at Qin Jun's cloth armor and more than a thousand branches, Chen Sheng couldn't help laughing, these were the best gifts that Qin Guo gave him.

"Leave 300 sets and distribute them to my own soldiers, and the rest will be distributed to the meritorious soldiers." Chen Sheng commanded, and Wu Guang on the side received the order, and at this time, a soldier ran over and said: "General, there are two groups of men and horses outside the city, the leader of one group calls himself Deng Zong, and the leader of the other team calls himself Ge Ying." ”

Hearing the soldier's report, Chen Sheng couldn't help laughing, looked at Wu Guang, and said excitedly: "Our team has grown again. ”

Chen Sheng and the others rode their horses to the east gate, the city gate, the two young people had been waiting for a long time, at this time they were chatting about something, seeing Chen Sheng riding a horse, the two hurriedly greeted them, and said with a smile: "Presumably you are General Chen Sheng, right?" I am Deng Zong, this is Ge Ying, we each gathered more than 100 people, sincerely voted, and hoped that General Chen Sheng would accept it. ”

Chen Sheng saw that the two of them were burly and lofty, so he couldn't help but bow his hand and laughed loudly: "On behalf of Chu Jun, I welcome you to join, go, and talk in detail in the city." ”

Ge Ying and Deng Zong returned the salute and laughed: "There are more than a thousand brothers outside the city, I hope General Chen Sheng can accept them together!" ”

"It's nature!" Chen Sheng couldn't help laughing, turned around and gave a few words of advice to his relatives, sang a promise with his relatives, and ran towards the city gate, Chen Sheng jumped off his horse and went to the county government with the two.

On the way to the county government, Deng Zong sighed lightly, looked at Chen Sheng, and arched his hand: "General Chen Sheng, there are some things to say with all due respect, on the way I came, I saw that the people along the way were miserable, and the military disaster was far greater than the tyranny of the Qin State, if General Chen Sheng wanted to restore Chu and overthrow the Qin State, I think that it is necessary to stop the looting of the soldiers and open a warehouse to release grain, so that the people can support the Chu army, and we can also compete with the Qin State, otherwise it is no different from bandits." ”

After listening to Deng Zong's words, Chen Sheng nodded and smiled: "Brother Deng's words make sense, after I go back, I will deploy immediately." ”

"In this way, I thank General Chen Sheng for the people." Deng Zong smiled and said, at this time, Ge Ying also smiled: "I'm afraid it's not enough to only have the support of the people, I think that it is the best policy to consolidate your power and attack the city and plunder the land before the Qin army arrives." ”

After Chen Sheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Ge Ying might as well come and listen." ”

Ge Ying arched his hand and continued: "Chen County, where Chen County is governed, has rich reserves, and it is also an important sergeant transfer station of the Qin State on the Eastern Front, extending in all directions, if General Chen Sheng can wave his army to capture Chen County, a big thing can be done!" ”

Listening to Ge Ying's words, Chen Sheng couldn't help but stop, he lowered his head and pondered, Ge Ying's thinking is indeed good, if he can capture Chen County, the Chu army will have a solid foundation, and the world can be determined.

But Chen County is a big county after all, I don't know what the situation of the garrison is, can I capture it? When Chen Sheng was hesitating, Ge Ying seemed to see through Chen Sheng's thoughts, and reminded: "Even if we can't attack Chen County, we can change to Ludi and cut down Surabaya County, so that we don't have to worry about the great cause." ”

After a long silence, Chen Sheng nodded and smiled: "Go back and discuss this matter in detail." ”

。。。。。。

Early in the morning, the Chu army posted a notice in Qi County, apologizing for the looting of the Chu army a few days earlier, and promising that the Chu army would be a righteous army and try to avoid such things from happening again.

The next day, the Chu army once again put up a list to calm the people, will distribute some grain, relief to the people, the same way, in the afternoon, several grain distribution sheds appeared, some Chu army began to release grain to the people, Qi County granary forty percent of the grain was distributed.

In order to further consolidate the power, Chen Sheng decided to march to Chen County, ordered Ge Ying to be the vanguard, led the brigade by himself, all the way north, soon, Cai Ci came to take refuge, Chen Sheng was overjoyed, ordered Cai Ci to be a staff officer, went north with the army, all the way to conquer Yu County, Yu County, Ku County, Zhe County and Qian County, etc., along the way obtained countless materials and disciples.
