At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 27, Strategic Line

October 35, the 10th year of the First Emperor's reign, morning.

Li Zhang and others who were hanged in the county government were taken to the main streets of Yang County by Xu Fan to frighten all the forces in Yang County.

The effect was extremely obvious. The entire Yang County was completely silent. No one dared to walk onto the street. They heard the shouts of killing in the early morning, and saw the corpse of the county magistrate after dawn.

This was a rebellion by killing officials. In this situation, no common people dared to come out. They were afraid of the rebels like Xu Fan and Qin Fa. They were afraid that they would be implicated by Xu Fan and others and end up being executed. After all, Qin Fa's involvement system is no joke. They can only hide at home and hope that none of this will affect them.

Zhou Zhang also came to the county government at this time. He said to Xu Fan: "My lord, the warehouse in Yang County has been captured. Among the granaries, there are 8 stones of grain, 1 pieces of linen, 3000 pieces of silk, and hundreds of thousands of Qin. Half a tael, 23 horses, and 10 oxen.”

Xu Fan was surprised and said: "Why is there so much food?"

A county with less than 8 people has actually accumulated so much food. This means that every citizen in Yang County has to bear a tax of 10- shi.

Zhou Zhang smiled and said: "Among the 8 shi of grain, 5 shi of grain are the salaries of Qin officials like Li Zhang. It's just because they have no place to store the grain just after it is collected, so they can only put it in the official warehouse. This is also our uprising." The timing is good, if we delay for a few more days, Li Zhang and his men's salaries will be transported away, and the grain from the official warehouse will be delivered to the Chenjun government office, and now our army has been captured."

Xu Fan continued to ask: "Where are Deng Zong and Chen Lin?"

"Boss, we are here!"

Deng Zong and Chen Lin came to the county government office panting.

Xu Fan looked at the two of them and said, "No one escaped from Yang County?"

Deng Zong and Chen Lin said: "No one leaves Yang County. We sent people to guard the city gate."

Deng Zongdao: "Without your order, boss, not a single mouse can leave Yang County."

"That's good!"

Xu Fan asked someone to bring some rice porridge and said, "I guess you are all hungry. Let's talk while we eat."

Several people had worked hard all night, but they didn't show any courtesy. They just picked up the porridge and started drinking it.

Deng Zong drank half of the porridge and said excitedly: "Now the entire Yang County belongs to us. Boss, you will be the king and I will be the general. Together we will kill the dog officials of the Qin State, continue to capture the city, and restore the Chu State." ”

"Puff puff puff!" Xu Fan was so frightened that he choked when he heard this. People in this era should be so simple and simple, and dare to claim the king after conquering only one county.

After thinking about it, many peasant rebel armies proclaimed themselves kings before they captured the city. People like Deng Zong were the common thoughts among peasant rebel army generals.

Zhou Zhang immediately glared at Deng Zong and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, this reckless man? He became king because he was worried that we would not be destroyed quickly enough. Do you think we are safe now? Chen County's seat is less than a hundred miles away from Yang County. No matter what we do, Blockade Yang County, 2 days will be enough for the governor of Chen County to know what is happening in Yang County. It will take another 2 days to mobilize troops and generals, and 2 days of march will be enough for Chen County’s army to reach the city of Yang County. We only have 6 days at most. We have to face the soldiers of Chen County. Do you think we can defeat the Qin army with only 800 skinny prisoners in our hands?" Chen Lindao: "The whole people in Yang County are very resentful towards the Qin State. Now we are revolting. Now, people who are dissatisfied with Qin will come to us. Although we only have 800 people now, we have money and food. As long as we recruit troops and horses, we will soon exceed a thousand, two thousand or even three thousand people. With such a If there are many people here, we may not be able to fight."

Obviously Chen Lin is also a restless person. He wants to start a big business while he has money and food. He wants Xu Fan to continue to expand the area and conquer cities and territories.

Zhou Zhang said angrily: "You think you can fight with just a large number of people. If it were really that easy, the Six Kingdoms would have destroyed Qin long ago, instead of Qin destroying the Six Kingdoms. What we have in our hands is a mob, and many people can only run a few steps." All gasp.

Who of you knows the infantry phalanx? Know how to train soldiers? If you know how to command combat, you may think that fighting is just your usual brawl, and you just need to rely on your courage to charge forward. "

Deng Zong said with a dull look on his face: "Isn't it enough to just charge forward to fight? As long as we are not afraid of death, we can defeat the Qin army."

Zhou Zhang said contemptuously: "It's a ragtag group of people. The Qin army only needs a thousand people to destroy us three times."

Deng Zong was unconvinced and said: "You old man is just afraid of the Qin army. We may not be able to defeat the Qin army if we take the initiative."

Xu Fan stopped their quarrel and said: "This is not a question of fear or not, but a fact. With our current strength, we cannot defeat Chen County's soldiers. Now we are shouldering the lives of 800 people and thousands of families behind them." A small life cannot be taken carelessly. If you are not careful, thousands of people will die."

"Yang County is too close to Chen County and is not a place for our development. If we want to develop and grow together, we must find places where the Qin army is weak. We must first establish a base area that belongs to us, and then develop our strength among the people and train them. Soldiers, increase our strength, and then capture the entire Chen County step by step."

Zhou Zhang nodded in agreement. He had this idea, and a head-on confrontation near Chen County was completely seeking death.

Deng Zong hesitated and said: "The whole world is occupied by the Qin State. Where is the weak point of the Qin Army?"

Xu Fan said: "The Dabie Mountains are the weak resistance of the Qin State. As long as we hide in the mountains, it will be difficult for the Qin Army to encircle and suppress us. Only when we survive can we talk about development and growth, and have time to train soldiers and serve as soldiers in our hands." When we can be as elite as the Qin army, it is time for us to fight the Qin army."

After all, people will still be affected by the environment. The peasant rebels of this era may attack large cities to strengthen their own power. However, Xu Fan was influenced by later generations and instead wanted to find a mountainous area to stabilize his power first.

"Dabie Mountain?" Deng Zong was just a butcher. He knew the Xingshan Mountain in Yang County, but the geography outside the county seat was a bit difficult for him.

Zhou Zhang said: "It's the mountains on the border between our Chen County and Jiujiang County. It's 400-500 miles away from Yang County."

Deng Zong was surprised and said: "So far?"

Xu Fan smiled bitterly and said: "We can't be the opponent of the Qin army in a frontal battle. We can only rely on the mountainous areas to defend the Qin army."

Zhou Zhang said worriedly: "Most of our men are prisoners. With their physical condition, they may not be able to outrun the Qin army!"

Xu Fan smiled and said: "We can travel by land and water. As long as we buy all the ships along the Ying River, and then go down the river, we can capture Nanton County and Xiang County along the way. The actual distance by land is only about 200 miles. And the waterway is also the only way for us to get rid of the Qin army’s pursuit.”
