I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 12 Gathering the Dark Clouds Over the Xiang Mansion

County Sheriff's Office.

In a side room.

Yin Tong, the prefect of Kuaiji, looked at the scrolls of bamboo slips on the case with a gloomy expression, and suddenly slapped the table.

"Trash, it's all trash. I heard that the rebels are coming, and those insects just abandoned the city and fled. They gave up the territory of Daqin without the slightest resistance. I am ashamed to be with such people."

Standing beside him was Jiang Hong, Yin Tong's confidant and aide.

Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Yin, you are naturally different from those rotten people. How could there be rebels under your rule... Besides, is this a bad thing?"

"Most of Huaiyang County has fallen, and there is only Jiujiang County in the middle of Kuaiji County. The flames of war may reach our eyebrows one day. Is this a good thing?" Yin Tong asked, his eagle-like eyes narrowed into a thin slit.

Jiang Hong saw that he had uttered bold words, but Yin Tong didn't scold him immediately, but just asked a non-painful rhetorical question, so he turned around and thought about it, and finally gave up.

"Governor, I met an alchemist yesterday. When chatting with him, he told me that the king's aura in the northwest is declining, and there is a dragon aura circling on Mount Kuaiji." Jiang Hong bit the bullet and continued, "But if I look at the entire Kuaiji County, who can be as noble as you, this dragon aura is..."

Yin Tong slammed the table again, making his hands flush red, and at the same time frightened Jiang Hong into a shiver.

"Are you trying to harm me? If word spreads, you will be cut in half and your whole family exiled. I will also lose my official status." Yin Tong said coldly.

"Don't dare, dare not." Jiang Hong murmured a few times, and when he lowered his head, he had a flash of inspiration.

On weekdays, Yin Tong complained about the fact that he failed to be promoted many times and could only be flattened. Besides, if he was really devoted to Da Qin, he would not have frequent contacts with Xiang Liang, the heir of Xiang Yan, the suspected general of Chu.

He resolutely raised his head and looked at Yin Tongdao: "Mr. Yin, I'm not trying to harm you. On the contrary, the villain wants to save you."

"Ridiculous." Yin Tong slapped the table again, and even stood up, but he took a deep breath, "Okay, I'll let you continue talking, why are you saving me? I don't understand. I'll ask someone to put you in jail later!"

Hearing this, Jiang Hong didn't show fear on his face, but was happy in his heart.

It seems that I judged correctly!

If Yin Tong had no objection in his heart and was loyal to Daqin, then he would not let himself go any further, and would have arrested or kicked him out long ago.

Jiang Hong looked solemn: "The governor of Yin, those rebels are all from lowly Luzuo background, they are extremely hostile to officials, so every time they break through a city, they will kill the officials, so those county guards and county magistrates all ran away after hearing the news.

Those rebels are so powerful that unless the emperor sends troops to encircle and suppress them, it is impossible for the soldiers within a county to resist them.

And now there are not only rebels in Huaiyang County, the battle reports you have received all say that officials were killed and riots occurred in several counties and counties, and this trend will spread to our Kuaiji County sooner or later.

At that time, you will not have enough soldiers under your command, and you will only die in vain if you stick to it.But if you abandon the city and leave, and the emperor punishes you afterwards, you will also lose your official position. "

Jiang Hongben is the most eloquent among Yin Tong's staff, even if there is no reason, he can grab three points of reason.

What's more, now that what he said is clear and clear, coupled with sincerity, Yin Tong has to be convinced.

"This..." Yin Tong hesitated, "What about the solution?"

In fact, he already knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to reveal it.

Jiang Hong spit inwardly, why did he follow such a boss who was always troubled by troubles? He was extremely decisive when making money and food.

But he could only answer: "Mr. Yin, I think it won't be long before the whole world will be reversed. Only the first strike can control people, and the second strike will only be controlled by people. If you are willing to step forward, this Kuaiji will fall into your hands immediately, and it will be as stable as the rock on Kuaiji Mountain.

Besides, our soldiers and weapons are far better than other rebels. In time, you will be able to enjoy the honorable status of Jiuxi. "

Yin Tong's breathing became a little thicker: "Is it really possible?"

He took a few steps hesitantly and said: "I think we can contact Xiang Liang first. Their Xiang family is the descendant of Xiang Yan, the general of Chu. Wouldn't it be better if they used the banner of Chu State?"

"It's absolutely impossible." Jiang Hong hurriedly dissuaded him, panicked in his heart.

You can only figure it out if you have a convulsion!As an official of this dynasty, receiving the favor of the emperor, it would not be righteous to rebel, but at least some reasons can be found.

But if you get involved with those people from Chu State, then you will lose your status.

After scolding Yin Tong several times in his heart, Jiang Hong continued to say: "Governor Yin, as survivors of the Chu State, their demands are completely different from ours, and you are not suitable to use the banner of the Chu State to rebel.

And if you really plan to start a rebellion, who should lead the team after finding them?If you were to lead, there are many descendants of the Xiang family, and you are alone, how can you subdue them. "

These words awakened Yin Tong suddenly.

"Extremely, extremely. I really shouldn't want to cooperate with Mr. Xiang."

After Yin Tong mentioned the topic about the Xiang family, Jiang Hong kept thinking about it.

But the deeper he thought about it, the more startled he became.

Jiang Hong frowned tightly and said, "Junshou, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep this family. They occupy a righteous position in Chu, and when the time comes to raise their arms, there may be many people who support them."

"Ah?" Yin Tong was taken aback for a moment.

However, he was decisive in this matter, and immediately sneered and said, "It's easy to handle. Didn't you just say the reason for 'preemptive strikes'? Let's kill them!"

……

Xiangfu.

In the courtyard, Xiang Liang summoned the main members of the Xiang family in Kuaiji County, and they were arguing endlessly.

After all, rebellion is not a trivial matter. Even Xiang Liang, the head of the family, cannot directly make a decision.

It's just that when more people gather to discuss, even simple things will diverge.For such complicated issues as whether or not to carry out a rebellion, and how to carry it out, everyone has their own opinions.

As a bystander, Chen Luo stood in a corner, listening to the Xiang family's quarrel in the yard, and did not participate.

However, he did recognize a lot of Xiang's family members.

Xiang Chan, that is, Xiang Bo.His appearance is [-]% similar to Xiang Liang, but his temperament is far inferior. He has the most objection to raising troops.

He was the relative who made Xiang Yu suffer the most in history. In the end, he himself demoted Liu Bang, even changed his surname to Liu, and changed his position.

Among the main fighters, apart from Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, there was also a young man named Xiang Sheng who caught Chen Luo's attention.

This old man was only half a head shorter than Xiang Yu in height, and his figure was equally strong.

In history, he belonged to a fierce general under Xiang Yu, and his best record was defeating Yingbo with Long Qie and destroying Jiujiang Kingdom.

It's just that when he led the army to stop Peng Yue and Xia Houying's Guanying army, he was defeated and fled. As for his ending, there is no record, but there is a high probability that he died in Gaixia.

As for the other members of the Xiang family in the courtyard, their historical ending is nothing more than the same as the portrayal of Xiang Chan and Xiang Sheng.

Surrender to Liu, then change your surname, or die in battle.

With some emotion, Chen Luo glanced at the many members of the Xiang family in the courtyard.Who would have thought that they, who live in harmony in the courtyard today, would be divided into two factions a few years later, separated by life and death.

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a young man rushed in hurriedly.

Xiang Liang scolded in dissatisfaction: "Xiang Zhuang, didn't I just ask you to guard the gate? We are discussing important matters inside, and you come in so frizzy, what are you talking about?"

Xiang Zhuang lowered his head, held up a scroll of silk and said, "Patriarch, please forgive me. This is a piece of information that we sent back from the inside of the military camp outside the city. It is urgent. I have to come in and report it for your review."

"Bring it here, let me have a look." Xiang Liang's expression slowed down.

After receiving the silk scroll, Xiang Liang unfolded it for less than two breaths, and his expression suddenly changed.
