I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 5 The Choice of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang
Within half a month.

After the uprising led by Chen Sheng, the rebel army quickly and successfully captured Daze Township the next day, and then even conquered Qi County, and Chen County, the capital of Chen State in the Spring and Autumn Period, had the same momentum for a while.

Moreover, the news of the uprising in Daze Township was like the first domino to be toppled. After it spread, it attracted the thoughts of countless old aristocrats from the Six Kingdoms who had been hiding in hiding.

It's the moon, and the Chu land is precarious.

at this time.

After being captured, Chen County was even a little more chaotic than under the Qin Dynasty.

Even though the officials of the Qin Dynasty expropriated and extorted money, at least they did things under certain rules, and even if their families were destroyed, it was done in an orderly manner.

And the name of the Great Chu Rebel Army played by Chen Sheng sounds good, but the actual discipline can be said to be appalling.

What's more, the original [-] garrison troops were expanded to more than [-] people. For a while, there were all kinds of people, and even Chen Sheng could barely restrain them.

Therefore, such things as burning, killing and looting were often seen in Chen County at this time, and it was not accidental.

Chen County city wall.

After Wu Guang climbed up, he walked west for a short distance, and saw Chen Luo's rather desolate back.

"Are you here?" Chen Luo asked without turning his head.

Wu Guang was stunned, a little surprised: "Brother Luo, how do you know that the person who came here must be me?"

A few days ago, Chen Luo flipped through the book to get words for himself.The word Luo appeared for the first time in "Shangshu" as "Guide Luo from Xiong'er, Northeast meets Yujian and Yu", which means Luoshui.

So he chose the word Jiang Ning for himself.

Chen Sheng knew it, and wanted to be arty, so he asked Chen Luo to choose a word for himself.

It's just that Wu Guang is still not used to such polite addressing, he prefers to call Brother Luo and Brother Chen Sheng, and doesn't want to call them Brother Jiang Ning and Brother Chen She.

Chen Luo sighed, and said helplessly, "At this time, the only one who will come here to find me is probably you."

Wu Guang walked up to Chen Luo and waved his hands with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Chen Sheng planned to crown both of us as kings the day before yesterday, and send them out to lead the army. Those who want to curry favor with us may line up from the west to the east of the city."

Chen Luo looked up at the ancient starry night sky, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said leisurely, "I'm going to leave."

"Hey... I knew it." Wu Guang frowned, "From the time I heard that you went to see him alone yesterday, and there was a quarrel, I guessed that you might not stay in Chen County anymore, but I didn't expect you to choose to leave directly."

Chen Luo silently.

Wu Guang persuaded: "I went to ask him in the afternoon, and he said that you don't want him to be king, because of such a trivial matter, why hurt the brotherhood, if he becomes king, the rewards everyone can get will also increase."

After all, Chen Sheng claimed to be a general, so the highest subordinates could only be named generals, but if Chen Sheng became king, his subordinates could be named princes and ministers.

"Those squires just pushed us into the pit of fire." Chen Luo's tone was flat, "Besides, the reason why everyone started the uprising was to confer titles? They followed him because they wanted to survive and to eat and drink. He is so impatient to become king, the cart before the horse."

Looking at the friendship these days, Chen Luocai chose to speak out to persuade Chen Sheng at this critical point.

In history, being king can be said to be one of the nodes in the development of Chen Sheng's power from prosperity to decline.

You must know that Chen Sheng originally started to revolt under the banner of "Great Chu", but he became king halfway and established a nondescript "Zhang Chu", which can be said to have lost his orthodox status.

More importantly, in the eyes of the imperial court, the nature of calling the king to represent the establishment of political power is completely different from that of ordinary uprisings.

After Chen Sheng became king, even if he was as stupid as Qin II, he sent Zhang Han to lead a large number of Qin troops to encircle and suppress.

Strong generals and elite troops directly defeated Chen Shengfang, and he was carried away in the last wave.

If the strategy of "accumulating food widely, building high walls, and becoming king slowly" is implemented, then Chen Sheng may have the opportunity to get involved in the world.

It was just Chen Luo's advice, he was not willing to listen to it at all.

On the contrary, Chen Sheng's eyes were captivated by the imminent opportunity to become king.

But this is really normal. Few people can stay awake when suddenly grasping huge power and facing the attack of honor and reputation.

The reason why Chen Luo was indifferent was that even after capturing Chen County, the most exquisite banquet he ate was nothing more than two boiled sheep, which didn't even taste much salty, and it wasn't even comparable to his previous work meals.

It's not that he doesn't want to be corrupted, it's that he uses these to test the cadres, and he doesn't like them.

Another point is that I understand the general trend of history, have a wider field of vision and insight than most ancient people, and think more deeply when thinking about problems.

So when Chen Sheng chose to go his own way and still want to be king, Chen Luo decided to leave and not stay on this ship that was destined to sink.

Wu Guang scratched his head: "If you know that Brother Luo wants to leave, Brother Chen Sheng will probably feel uncomfortable for a long time. We took great risks to join forces before, but now it's time to enjoy it... Sigh."

As he talked, it was obvious that he was reluctant to part with his words.

"Some people can share adversity, but not wealth." Chen Luo said silently in his heart.

Through these few days of observation, Chen Sheng's personality has changed a lot compared to when he was in Daze Township, or he has shown his original true personality.

In history, Tian Zang, Chen Sheng's confidant, conspired to kill Wu Guang, but was rewarded by Chen Sheng. In addition, the fellow villagers who defected to Chen Sheng did not make a big mistake, but they were directly executed by Chen Sheng for their inappropriate words.

All kinds of deeds prove that Chen Sheng's sentence "If you are rich, don't forget each other" on the ridge of the field is just an absurd statement of his youth.

Chen Luo felt that if he stayed for a long time, he might become a thorn in Chen Sheng's side and suffer calculations.

Even if Chen Sheng doesn't attack him, the Qin army will break through Chen county six months later, and it will be even more difficult for him to escape.

He patted Wu Guang on the shoulder and said, "Would you like to come with me, maybe it will be more comfortable than staying here."

Wu Guang showed hesitation, but he still chose to shake his head: "Brother Chen Sheng said that he would make me a false king and let me lead the army to fight alone. Now he doesn't have many confidantes who can use him, so I can't leave at this time."

Chen Luo sighed inwardly.

If you don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to have the opportunity to leave in the future.

But I have already persuaded Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they both made other choices, so the final result has nothing to do with me.

At worst, before he left, he would find an excuse to kill Tian Zang, and see whether it was the people under him who led to Wu Guang's death, or whether Chen Sheng didn't want anyone to share power with him.

Watching the dark clouds in the sky gradually gather to cover the stars, Chen Luo lost interest for a while.

He turned around and said, "It will rain again in the middle of the night. If we continue to stay on this city wall, we may catch cold easily. Let's go down."

Seeing that Chen Luo had made up his mind to go, Wu Guang asked, "Then where is Brother Chen Luo planning to find a way out?"

"Go southeast." Chen Luo already had an idea in his mind.

"Southeast...do you want to go to Jiujiang County?" Wu Guang was curious.

"No, further south." Chen Luo turned his back to Wu Guang, and had already walked a certain distance.

Wu Guang frowned and thought: "The south of Jiujiang County, brother Chen Luo wants to go to Kuaiji County, it's a bit chaotic over there."

----

King Chen punished Uncle Wu for no reason.All the old friends are self-introduced, so they are the victors without relatives.

When Qin II sent Zhang Han to attack Chen, he defeated the armies repeatedly.Chen Wang regretted and said: "If you haven't listened to Chen Luo's words of 'don't be king', you will have today."

In the twelfth lunar month, Ruyin, who was victorious, returned to Xiachengfu, and his Yuzhuang Jia killed him to surrender to Qin.Dang was buried, and his posthumous title was King Yin. ——"Han Shu Biography of Chen Sheng"
