Han Dang is stronger

Chapter 58 The Wheel of History

In [-] BC, the first year of Qin II, on the afternoon of the third day of the seventh lunar month, Sishui County, Qi County, and Daze Township!
Just like the Xiaxiang side, Qi County, which is only more than 200 kilometers away from Xiaxiang, also rained every day during this period. Many roads in the county were destroyed, and the official road to the north was directly destroyed. The bridge was cut off and the road was cut off. As a result, a garrison team dispatched from all over Chen County was forced to be trapped in a pavilion in Daze Township. There is no way to continue on the road.

"Brother Wu Tunchang is back."

Hearing this call, some guards who were dozing and chatting in the pavilion hurriedly got up, ready to meet the commander who was in charge of him.Immediately afterwards, a sturdy man of medium build strode into the pavilion wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat. The burly man nodded his thanks to the guards, and while shaking the rainwater from his bamboo hat, he walked up to a middle-aged man sitting on a broken straw mat, and said in a rough voice: "Brother Chen Sheng, I went to see the road Well, the road ahead was flooded for at least five or six miles, and several bridges were all broken. Even if it stopped raining, the water would not recede within five or six days. What year and month, what should I do?"

"What should we do? Wash your neck and prepare to die." Chen Sheng said lazily: "We are serving the military service this time, and we obey the military law. No matter what the reason is, we will be beheaded if we miss the deadline. According to the schedule Calculation, even if the road can pass immediately, we will not be able to reach Yuyang on time, what else can we do except a dead end?"

"Brother Chen, is what you said true?" The guard who heard Chen Sheng's words next to him was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "If we can't arrive at Yuyang on time, will we all really have to die?"

"If you don't believe me, ask the two captains and let them tell you, is it wrong to be killed?" Chen Sheng still had a lazy expression.

The garrison panicked, and hurriedly asked the other garrison soldiers if it was true that he should be executed at the wrong time, and the rain leaked everywhere, and the thatched cottage gradually became noisy, but Chen Sheng didn't bother to pay attention to those who were from the head of Guizhou He just asked the only sturdy man he could look up to in this army: "Wu Guang, how are you doing? What are your plans?"

"I don't know how to plan." Wu Guang shook his head honestly, and said, "If you fail to arrive in Yuyang on time, you will die, and if you are caught fleeing the garrison, you will die. I don't know what to do."

After saying that, Wu Guang asked Chen Sheng again: "Brother Chen Sheng, your ancestor is the doctor of Chen Guo, who has read more books and knowledge than us, can you think of a way to help us save our lives?"

Chen Sheng smiled and said: "If only I could have this way, I just want to kill me, the executioner's ax can be sharpened, give me a good time, don't hit me with a blunt ax, let me die When you have to suffer a great crime.”

Knowing that Chen Sheng was joking, Wu Guang, who always respected Chen Sheng, didn't take it seriously. He just sighed and found a place to sit down, trying to figure out how to hurry to Yuyang as soon as possible and avoid this murderous disaster.It's a pity that the objective reason for the continuous heavy rain is here. No matter how hard Wu Guang racked his brains, he couldn't think of any solution.

It was night, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang lived in the same thatched hut with deep friendship. When they slept in the middle of the night, Wu Guang was suddenly woken up by someone shaking. The mouth with a thick beard, and then, Chen Sheng's familiar voice came in a low voice, saying: "Don't talk, I'm Chen Sheng, come with me to the door, I have something to say to you alone."

Wu Guang, who was rough on the outside but thin on the inside, nodded, and quickly got up and went out with Chen Sheng, alarming the other soldiers sleeping in the room. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also said that they were going to the bathroom.After going out, Chen Sheng first found a place to shelter from the rain and stood under the eaves, and then Chen Sheng whispered to Wu Guang: "Brother, what you said today is very correct. In this situation, we have no way out." But if we don’t arrive in Yuyang on time, we will die, and if we escape from the garrison, we will die. But I think we may have a third way to go, and taking the third way may save our lives.”

"The third way? What way?" Wu Guang asked quickly.

"Listen, don't be scared." Chen Sheng gave Wu Guang a shot first, and then said in a low voice: "The third way is to rebel! Raise troops against Qin!"

"What?" Even though Chen Sheng had given him an inoculation in advance, Wu Guang was still taken aback, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Are you crazy? Wouldn't our death be worse if we did this?"

"I'm not crazy." Chen Sheng said in a low voice: "Listen to me, rebellion is dangerous, but the world has been tossed by Tyranny for too long. I can't bear it any longer. If we raise the banner of righteousness and call on the people of the world to join us in rebelling against Qin, there will be countless people following us. If we can succeed by then, not only will we be able to save our lives, but we will also enjoy prosperity and wealth immediately. Not finished."

"Even if you fail, it doesn't matter." Chen Sheng said in a low voice again: "Anyway, if you fail to reach Yuyang on time, you will die, if you run away, you will die, if you fail, you will die. Also spell out the glory and wealth of the rest of my life!"

Just like in history, after listening to Chen Sheng's instigation, although Wu Guang was very moved, he still hesitated and worried, and dared not make this decision casually.After thinking about it for a while, Wu Guang said: "How about this? I heard that there is a good fortune teller in the market in Daze Township. We will ask him to give us a divination tomorrow and ask us what we want to do." Can big things succeed! If ghosts and gods also say that we can succeed, I will follow you!"

Not a time traveler, of course Chen Sheng didn't know what would happen if he and Wu Guang raised the flag to rebel, and he was a little bit upset, so after hearing Wu Guang's suggestion, Chen Sheng immediately nodded and said, "Okay, we will rebel tomorrow." Let's go to the market to do divination together, to see if our big event can succeed!"

…………

In [-] BC, the fourth day of the seventh month of the first year of Qin II, in the morning, Sishui County, Qi County, Daze Township Market!
Just like in history, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang found the fortune teller who left a mark in the history books but did not leave his name, and asked him to predict whether the great event they were going to do would be successful.Still the same as in history, the fortune-teller was talking about people and talking nonsense when he saw people, and in order to get more fortune, he pretended to do the calculations for a while and said: "Don't worry, two strong men, what you are going to do will definitely be able to do it." Success. But the two of you just asked God, do you still want to ask ghosts?"

The wheel of history began to turn, and after happily paying for divination and asking ghosts and gods, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang also realized the truth that using ghosts and gods can be powerful, and decided to raise troops against Qin on the way back to the pavilion. He also discussed the famous bad ideas that have been passed down through the ages, such as the fish belly book and the fox call, and decided on the specific time to do it.However, Wu Guang was still a little worried, and asked Chen Sheng again: "Brother Chen, I am afraid that it will be difficult for people in the world to respond to us just because of the two of us taking the lead in provoking troubles. You are a doctor, but you don’t have a name, people in the world know that you must not have many people, and you can’t convince everyone, what should I do?”

"It doesn't matter, I have already thought of a solution." Chen Sheng said without batting an eyelid: "I heard that the second emperor is the youngest son of the first emperor. He should not have succeeded. The eldest son Fusu should succeed. Fusu Because he repeatedly advised the first emperor, he was sent out to lead soldiers, and was later killed by the second emperor for no reason. There was also a famous person named Xiang Yan, who was a famous general of the Chu State. He had outstanding military exploits and loved the soldiers. He was loved and died in battle On the battlefield of fighting Qin. We can use their banner to say that they are not dead, and use their name to call on the people of the world to oppose Qin, so that the people of the world will definitely respond to us."

As soon as Wu Guang heard the applause, he immediately agreed that it should be done this way, but Chen Sheng smiled, and couldn't help thinking of an interesting question, secretly said: "I heard that there are many descendants of Xiang Yan living in the world. If they know, I declare that Xiang Yan is not dead yet, and I still use the banner of Xiang Yan to call on the people of the world to oppose Qin, I don't know what kind of expression I should make."

…………

[-] BC, the fourth day of July in the first year of Qin II, in the morning, Sishui County, Xiaxiang County, Dongxiang Shiling Pavilion, in front of the pavilion!The wheel of history...

Compared with the Qixian area where the heavy rain is torrential, the rain here is obviously less, but it is still rainy and wet, but even so, there are still people with ants in front of the Shiling Pavilion. The pavilions were full of soldiers who came to assemble one after another, and the pavilions where the soldiers were supervised came to assemble, and there were also people who came to see off their relatives and watch the excitement of the Shiling Pavilion. The people in the Lingting Pavilion were in pieces, and the umbrellas were like lotuses. It was as lively as New Year's Eve The previous county fair opened.

The excitement is lively, but there is no laughter in the crowd. On the contrary, there are crying voices everywhere. The gray-haired parents are holding their son who is about to go away and crying; There were tears in front of him, weeping uncontrollably, the young child hugged his father's thigh and cried and shouted, reluctant to leave Ah Weng; there was also a young woman who disregarded her image, threw herself into the arms of her lover and cried loudly, choking with sobs and telling her to go north to the frontier soon My lover is very careful, and must come back alive to marry him.The scene is extremely sad and sad.

When noon was approaching, Feng Zhong, who was in charge of escorting Dongxiang garrison soldiers to the north, came out of the pavilion with red eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "The time is coming, arrange the centurions in order of height, everyone else Get out of the way and make room for the soldiers to line up."

The crying became louder. Many children were pushed away by their fathers with tears in their eyes, and were dragged out of the line by their mothers who were crying and crying; many white-haired parents hugged their sons and cried bitterly, shaking Holding his son's strong body, he couldn't bear to let go of anything; during the period, several young women held on to his lover's clothes tightly, crying bitterly: "I won't go! I won't go! I don't want you to go either! I don't want to let you go!" you!"

Seeing such a scene and hearing such desperate cries, Feng Zhong, who had just cried for a long time with his wife and children in the pavilion, had a sore nose and almost cried again.But there was no way, after gritting his teeth to hold back his tears, Feng Zhong could only lead a few soldiers forward, and under the angry eyes of countless parties, he forcibly drove the family members of the soldiers who refused to leave out of the temporary school grounds, and at the same time forced The soldiers of the garrison hurriedly lined up, preparing to appoint temporary officers such as corps chiefs, department chiefs, and village chiefs.

During the period, Feng Zhong also met Xiang Kang who was standing in the crowd. Seeing Xiang Kang's calm expression while carrying the package, Feng Zhong, who was already close to Xiang Kang, suddenly had the urge to hit someone, and couldn't help it. He whispered to Xiang Kang: "Have you thought it through? Regret it now, maybe it's too late! Don't forget, you're going to get married soon."

"Brother, I've thought it through." Xiang Kang replied calmly, and then said, "Don't forget, you promised me that you would let me be the head of the village, but Xu Ji and Yang would not let them be my chiefs." .”

Too lazy to deal with Xiang Kang, who was looking for his own death, Feng Zhong walked past Xiang Kang angrily. Feng Zhongmen guest Wei Shan, whom he had a lot of fate with, unexpectedly stood beside him with a package on his back, obviously going to be a soldier too.Xiang Kang couldn't help smiling when he saw it, and asked, "Wei Shan, why are you going to serve in the garrison?"

"My household registration is also Youlu." Wei Shan said with a mournful face, "I wanted to run away, but I was afraid of being caught and cut in half, so I came here."

"It's okay, I'll take care of you on the way."

Xiang Kang casually patted Wei Shan on the shoulder, and was about to continue comforting Wei Shan with a few words to buy people's hearts, but he suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, Xiang Kang quickly took a closer look, and saw that it was indeed three days ago The little girl Yu Yu who forcibly and cruelly took her virginity away, holding an umbrella covered with emerald green cloth, stood gracefully in the crowd, watching herself silently, her eyes were still red, obviously she just cried bitterly one game.

Xiang Kang smiled at the little girl very gently, and Xiang Kang couldn't help but feel a little thankful that the little girl kept the secret for him, and didn't let Yu Miaoge know that he took the initiative to exchange household registration with Xiang Ta, and voluntarily served in the military for Xiang Ta—— Otherwise, with Yu Miaoge's temper, he would have to come here to hug himself and cry to death, and he would definitely not leave, causing countless troubles for him to do things in a while.

Other blacksmith apprentices and Dongxiang militiamen who were not conscripted also came, not only those who drank the break-up wine with Xiang Kang yesterday, but also the apprentices and militiamen who were unable to attend the farewell party yesterday because of something. Xiang Kang's eyes were red, and some people wiped their tears in public, their reluctance was beyond words.But even so, these apprentices and militiamen still didn't forget to publicize the news that Xiang Kang's body glowed red again last night. It's a pity that most of the people present today were concerned about their relatives who were about to leave, so it caused little sensation.

Although he never agreed to Xiang Kang's request, after the team was lined up, Feng Zhong still appointed Xiang Kang as a village chief when selecting the candidates for Baichang and Tuenchang. The master was appointed as the head of the hundred, and Xiang You and Xiang Yang were also appointed as the heads of the village. Xu Ji and Yang Bu, two confidant apprentices and militiamen, became the chiefs, and they also let Wei Shan, who had a lot of fate with him, also become the chiefs.

When the formation of the troops was gradually completed, it was almost half noon at noon, and the Dongxiang garrison team was about to set off for Santai Pavilion to join other garrison teams in Xiaxiang County. The heart also gradually rose to the throat - because until now, the most critical figure in Xiang Kang's uprising plan, Magistrate Zhou, has not yet appeared!And if Magistrate Zhou reneges on his promise, Xiang Kang will be forced to start a backup plan, which is more difficult and smaller to grasp!

"God bless, County Magistrate Zhou must come! If he doesn't come, even if I can easily take down Feng Zhong and encourage the soldiers to rebel, the County Magistrate Zhou will send troops to suppress it soon, and the battle will definitely be incomparable. Difficult to fight. Only by directly taking down County Magistrate Zhou and making Xiaxiang County leaderless, can I directly enter the county and hope to directly take down the county!"

Although he doesn't really believe in ghosts and gods, Xiang Kang can only silently pray for God's blessing when things have come to this point, and bless that county magistrate Zhou who has been very kind to him can fulfill his promise and come to Shiling Pavilion in person to perform for himself. Give yourself the chance to capture the thief first and the king first.

It's a pity that half past noon came soon, pushing away the yellow-faced woman who was crying and crying, Feng Zhong snatched the package from Huang-faced woman's hand, threw it on his back, and shouted with tears in his eyes : "It's time, let's go!"

Hearing this, several Xiang family disciples in the garrison team and Xiang family disciples in the crowd immediately focused on Xiang Kang, waiting for Xiang Kang to send a signal, Xiang Kang pursed his lips in despair, helplessly Step forward, ready to pretend to talk to Feng Zhong, and get close to Feng Zhong to send a signal to start.But at this moment, a miracle happened, and a red and black official carriage with two horses suddenly drove up from the distance of the road, and the officials who rode around the carriage shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, the county magistrate is here!"

"Huh!" Xiang Kangchang breathed a sigh of relief, loosening his clenched fists, revealing his sweat-soaked palms.

[-] BC, the fourth day of July in the first year of Qin II, in the morning, Sishui County, Xiaxiang County, Dongxiang Shiling Pavilion, in front of the pavilion!The wheel of history rolled forward slowly, a mere day or two earlier, and slowly turned into a new historical development track...
