Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 172 Revolt (Part [-])

You know, Shen Shiqi was the one who supported Fan Dong to the end when he first arrived.In addition to the power currently controlled by Fan Dong in Pei County, there is another power.It was the Yong family that was rumored to have business dealings with Xiang Yu, the captain of the navy. Many children of the Yong family served as officials in the county government.

Fan Dong came from Xianyang, and he is well versed in the way of using strength to fight.Now Shen Shiqi has been promoted by him to become the county magistrate of Pei County, and he is also labeled as Fan Dong.The members of the Yong family didn't dare to do anything even if they didn't count, they could only hold their noses and bear it.

Shen Shiqi didn't disappoint Fan Dong either, as soon as he became the county magistrate, he gave the Yong family a big blow.A few of the Yong family's children who worked in the county government were dismissed, and then a group of innocent people were added to the county government.This also made Fan Dong feel that he had done nothing wrong, and was very happy in his heart.

Seeing that Fan Dong agreed, Shen Shiqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.I feel that I did the right thing to offend the Yong family, but at the same time I am a little scared.But thinking of Liu Ji getting rich in the future, he could get more, so he continued to drink with Fan Dong.

Mount Mangdang, Liu Ji looked at the continuous rain outside and shook his head.

"Brother Ji! It's been raining for so many days. Fortunately, you made up your mind to go up the mountain before. Otherwise, even if we were on our way, we would be delayed now!" Lu Wan said happily after entering the house.

"Why are you so happy? How much food is left in the village? How many days can it last for the brothers?" Liu Ji asked Lu Wan, who was smiling, and stared at him.

"There are still [-] shi of grain, which is enough for the seven hundred brothers to eat for several months. Also, Ji Yi has already been sent down the mountain to buy grain. I believe that he will be able to bring back at least [-] shi of grain soon. It can make the brothers eat longer." Seeing Liu Ji's expression, Lu Wan pretended to answer seriously.

"Then what about the weapons I told you to buy? How many are there?" Liu Ji nodded after hearing this, and then asked after remembering that the 700 men under his command had only less than [-]% of the weapons equipped.

"For more than half a month, Ji Yi and I have personally gone to buy. We spent more than 2 yuan and got a total of 150 swords and [-] iron spearheads. These things have been sent to the warehouse, but have not yet been delivered Brothers." Seeing Liu Ji asked, Lu Wan answered truthfully.

"The sword and spearhead are so expensive?" Liu Ji questioned as if he didn't really believe that [-] yuan could only buy such a few things.

"Brother Ji, the government is now stricter on the management of ironware. Now the price of an iron sword on the market is at least 130 yuan, and a spearhead costs 130 yuan." Lu Wan talked about the price of privately crafted weapons recently. Shocking, you have to know that half a year ago, a privately made sword was only [-] yuan if it was full of money.Now the price has risen to [-] yuan in just half a year, which really surprised him.

"130 yuan for a sword? [-] yuan for a spearhead?" Liu Ji asked in surprise as he didn't expect the price of weapons to be so high.

"Yes, Brother Ji! The man who sells weapons said that the government has recently become more and more strict in investigating and punishing private weapons. And their risks are also increasing, so they raised the price of weapons. This is a record The righteous brother was also there at the time, so he can testify!" Lu Wan explained.

Lu Wan didn't want to explain, but he was afraid that Liu Ji would think he was corrupt.

"When Ji Yi comes back, I'll ask him personally! If you let me know that your old problem has recurred, I can't spare you!" Liu Ji pointed at Lu Wan viciously and said.

........................

When Liu Ji was worried that the price of weapons was getting more and more expensive, a team guarding Yuyang in the southeast of Mangdang Mountain was also hiding from the rain.

"If the rain continues, we won't be able to reach Yuyang within the specified time!" Wu Guang, the head of the village, looked at the heavy rain outside, and said to Chen Sheng who was reading a book.

Wu Guang is an out-and-out farmer, while Chen Sheng was originally a small nobleman from the state of Chu in Yangcheng County.But because Qin destroyed the state of Chu, he also became the head of Guizhou in the eyes of an official of the state of Qin in his family.But although Chen Sheng became the head of Guizhou, he was a knowledgeable and cultured head of Guizhou.Because of this, he made friends with many reckless heroes.

"We'll wait until the rain stops! At that time, let's see if we can travel day and night and try to reach Yuyang!" Chen Sheng didn't put down the letter in his hand, but he answered Wu Guang's question.

In fact, Chen Sheng hoped that the rain would last longer.Let the whole team have no way to reach Yuyang even if they travel day and night, then my ambition will be realized at that time.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, Wu Guang looked at the rain that was still falling, estimated the time, and felt that there was no way to reach Yuyang on time.Feeling a little panicked, he didn't know what to do so he found Chen Sheng.

"I don't know when the rain will last. Even if it stops tomorrow, we won't be able to go to Yuyang! What should we do?" Wu Guang asked anxiously as soon as he found Chen Sheng.

"Qin law is strict, do you want to suffer death?" Chen Sheng didn't answer, but put down the letter in his hand and asked.

"It's better to run away!" Wu Guang had no other choice, so he stood up and suggested.

Chen Sheng shook his head and said to Wu Guang, "Escape is not the best strategy. This is Sishui County. Where can we escape even if we want to escape? It is nothing more than being wanted after escaping, and then being hunted and killed by the government. It's better to raise troops to resist, even if you die, it's worth it! If you don't die, you can enjoy the glory and wealth!"

"You and I have no power or power, how can we raise troops against Qin?" Wu Guang was also a little moved when he heard this, but he was a farmer after all, so he asked.

After hearing Wu Guang's words, Chen Sheng replied with a smile: "The people all over the world have hated Qin for a long time, but no one has the ability to rebel against Qin. I heard that the current second emperor is the youngest son of the first emperor, and there is no right for him to be on the throne. Yes. The eldest son, Fusu, was modest and kind to the people in the head of Guizhou. He was transferred to the north to supervise the army because his teacher advised the first emperor. The second emperor killed his elder brother Fusu. But people in the world only heard that Fusu was wise, But I didn’t hear the news that Fusu was killed. There is also Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State, who led the Chu army to defeat the Qin army many times when Qin destroyed Chu. Chu people often miss him. There are rumors that he is not, and there are also rumors It is said that he has fled to other places. We might as well use the reputation of these two people to raise troops and call on the world's insightful people. Moreover, this place is also Chu, and everyone who secretly hates Qin will come to help us. In this way, Great things can be expected!"

………………

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang used the name of ghosts and gods to create momentum among the guards, and then beheaded the two supervising school lieutenants to rebel.

After occupying Daze Township, Chen Sheng and others gathered a team of nearly a thousand people and went to attack Qi County.
