Chapter 471: Chen Shi is the king

Until Zhao Gao sent Li Si away, he didn't say anything, whether he supported or opposed.

Maybe Li Si gave out all his thoughts today, not because he wanted his support much, but just to find someone to talk to.

Speaking of the whole world, it is estimated that there is no third person who empathizes with the precarious days that the two have experienced.

Your Majesty is both an object of reverence and an object of fear.

Although Zhao Gao did not say what he thought, nor did he give Li Si an answer, he knew that he basically agreed with Li Si's approach.

In fact, Zhao Gao also felt strange, as a powerhouse in the Grandmaster Realm, he had lived for hundreds of years to this day, and it stands to reason that he had lived enough, and he shouldn't care so much about his life and death.

But the fact is the opposite, like Li Si, not only do you want to continue to live, live a little longer, and you can't even suppress the idea of pursuing martial arts immortality.

If Li Si's calculation succeeds, it can at least largely subtract the threat posed by His Majesty, which is also beneficial to him.

As for why he didn't flee overseas alone to save his life like Xu Fu, Li Si was reluctant to give up the Li family, and he should be reluctant to enjoy this inexhaustible glory and wealth.

Zhao Gao secretly thought to himself in his heart: Great Qin can't be completely destroyed yet.

Li Si walked out of Zhao's mansion, his steps became more and more firm, with Zhao Gao's assistance, his calculations would seem reasonable.

After a while, the matter of counterinsurgency will have to be put on the agenda, and everything that happens will have to be based on what seems reasonable.

......

At the end of July of the first year of Qin II, Chen Shi led his troops to defeat the main force of the Qin army led by the governor of Nanhe Province three times in a row, and occupied Zhoukou, Nanyang, Xinyang and other places one after another.

After purging all the rebel forces in Nanhe Province, Chen Shi personally attacked by the river and beheaded the governor of Nanhe Province, so that Nanhe Province completely fell into the hands of the rebel army.

In August of the first year of Qin II, Wu Chen, who was named a general by Chen She, led an army of 5,000 to attack Julu County in Zhao in the name of restoring the Zhao State.

The Julu County Guard actively organized the army and the people to defend the city, intending to give the military ministers a head-on blow.

However, it took less than three days for Wuchen to capture the entire Julu County.

On the first day, Wuchen led the army to the city of Julu, tentatively attacked the city, but to no avail, and temporarily retreated.

In the evening, Wu Chen contacted Neiying in Julu City.

In the early morning of the next day, under the command of the military minister, Neiying successfully attacked the defenders of the gate and opened the city gate to welcome the military minister.

The military minister, who had been prepared for a long time, led the whole army and took the opportunity to kill the Julu City, and in front of the county guard, he personally killed the Julu county guard.

The dragons were leaderless, and the remaining Qin army immediately dispersed, and Wuchen successfully occupied Julu City.

After that, Wuchen sent people to arrest the officials of the Qin State in Julu City and exterminate all of them to sacrifice the dead heroic spirits of the Zhao State.

On the third day, Wuchen swept the whole county of Julu and completely occupied this territory that originally belonged to the Zhao State.

Subsequently, Wuchen sent people in Julu County to publicize "destroying Qin and restoring Zhao", and the martial arts families and people in Julu County responded one after another, gathered in Jingcong, and joined the Zhao family army to which Wuchen belonged.

In August of the same year, Zhou City captured Guangling County and Yangzhai County successively, during which a large number of rangers and warriors were recruited to join the army, and 20,000 soldiers were obtained in less than half a month, and the prestige has increased greatly since then.

At the same time, Deng Zong and Zhaoping attacked Jiujiang County and Jiaodong County respectively, each with their own gains.

All of a sudden, Qi, Zhao, Wei, Hanchu, and all parts of the country were in flames, and the governors of the provinces of Great Qin fell into their own battles, lost their cities and lost their land, and were panicked.

Martial arts families everywhere either dragged their families and fled from the military disaster, or they only cared about self-protection and hid in the rural fortress and did not dare to come out.

Of course, there are also many martial arts families, and the whole clan defects to the rebel army and takes advantage of the fire to rob.

In less than a month, the situation in the eastern part of the Great Qin was eroded, and a large area of land was lost.

The entire Restoration Congress, including Zhang Liang, was a little unbelievable, how the Qin State, which was extremely powerful in the past, has now become like a piece of paper.

Aside from the slack of armaments in various places, more than a month has passed since Chen She's rebellion, and apart from the armies organized by the governors of various places, there has not even been a decent counterinsurgency army, which is really incredible.

Zhang Liang and the others, after discussion, agreed that this was most likely a conspiracy of the Qin State, in order to lure them out who were hiding behind the scenes.

However, what they didn't know was that the documents sent by the governors from all over the country to Chang'an to ask for help, not to mention appearing in front of Hu Hai and the ministers of Great Qin, and even some of them disappeared inexplicably before they entered Chang'an City.

Out of prudence, Tian Dan and Xiang Liang forcibly suppressed the idea of raising troops and continued to wait and see, waiting for the follow-up changes.

......

Chen Jun, after learning the news that Wu Chen and others had successfully captured several counties, Chen Shi was very happy and ordered: "This general will have a banquet for the famous families in Chen County today to celebrate the achievements of all the righteous soldiers. ”

Soon, all the heads of martial arts families who were a little famous in Chen County were invited to the county guard mansion by Chen She's subordinates, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally the famous Chen County Xie family.

A dinner party with Chen Shi as the mainstay, Wu Guang as the second, and the martial arts family as the guest was successfully held.

The martial arts family headed by the Xie family can be described as extremely flattering to Chen She, the new grandmaster and the leader of the rebel army, and will praise him for his unparalleled martial arts in the world, and praise him for his uprising for the people, and his selflessness.

The knowledge of the martial arts families made Chen She, who was already very happy, even more comfortable, and drank dozens of glasses of wine in succession, and a trace of drunkenness couldn't help but appear on his face.

I don't know who sang the praises of Chen Shi again, Chen Shi raised the wine bottle with a proud face and said: "Come, you and Ben will drink this cup together." ”

Everyone picked up the wine bottle with both hands and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the general." ”

After drinking this cup, the head of the Xie family suddenly made up his mind, got up and saluted: "General, the little one has a word in his heart, don't vomit or be unhappy, if there is anything offended, I hope that General Haihan." ”

Chen Shi was not carried away by the excitement, and squinted his eyes when he heard the words: "Oh, what does the Xie family master say, although he has to listen to it, he is not a stingy person, as long as he says it reasonably, he will naturally not be angry with you." ”

The head of the Xie family seemed to have expected Chen She's answer, so he just bowed and said: "I have long heard that the general is a hero, and when I see it today, I know that it is better to meet than to be famous." ”

"General, you personally put on armor and went into battle, holding weapons in your hands, crusading against the brutal and unscrupulous Qin State, rescuing the people of Limin, your power is unparalleled, and you should be called the king in terms of merit. ”

Chen Shi said expressionlessly, "Oh, is it?"

Seeing Chen She's reaction, the head of the Xie family couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he had to grit his teeth and say: "General Mingjian, this is not the villain's opinion, if you don't believe the general, you can ask others in the hall." ”

After the head of the Xie family finished speaking, his eyes couldn't help but look at the others in the hall.

Chen Shi followed the gaze of the head of the Xie family and looked at him expressionlessly.

The other martial arts families in the hall, after listening to the words of the head of the Xie family, secretly scolded him fiercely, but he was regretting it in his heart, why didn't he think of it?

At this moment, Chen She's eyes looked over, and hurriedly echoed: "Xie Jiazhu is right, with the general's merits, he is enough to be the king, please don't let the general live up to the expectations of the people." ”

Wu Guang heard this, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, with Chen She's current situation, it was not time to claim the throne, but he was just in front of the public, and he was unwilling to open his mouth to refute, so as not to lose Chen She's prestige.

However, after Chen Shi heard the affirmation of everyone in the hall, he couldn't help but be a little complacent: "Yi'er and others have seen, what kind of king should this general be called?"

The head of the Xie family took the lead and said: "The little one once heard that after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, a proverb came out of nowhere, "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu", according to the small one, the general's move is in response to the mandate of heaven, so the general should be called the king of Chu, order the world, and replace the Qin State. ”

Chen She's eyes narrowed slightly, carefully thinking about the gains and losses of being the king, and after a long time, Fang said decisively: "As you and others said, I will obey the mandate of heaven and establish a country and be the king." ”

Then he ordered: "Come on, prepare the altar, this general will sacrifice to heaven and earth, and establish a kingdom and be king." ”

In August of the first year of Qin II, Chen Shi took Chen County as his capital and proclaimed himself the king of Chu, known as Zhang Chu.
