Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 173 The Rebellion (Part [-])

Qi County, a less important county in Sishui County.But in the eyes of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others, it was the most important stronghold.Because the county has the food, armor, weapons, chariots and horses most needed by the uprising army.

The most important thing is people.Chen Sheng understands that as long as there are people, he can provide a steady stream of soldiers for the rebel army.Only the rebels can go further, and they can realize their childhood dreams.

On the way to Qi County, many people in Sishui County joined the rebel army because they thought they could not bear Qin's torture and cruel laws.The team has grown from a thousand to more than 3000 to nearly 4000, and the army is mighty and mighty to attack Qixian County.

There were not many defenders in Qixian County, but it was soon captured by Chen Sheng.

In the county office, Chen Sheng was waiting for Wu Guang to count the grain and weapons in the warehouse.

"General, good news! There are [-] shi of grain in the warehouse, enough for us to eat for several months. Also, there are [-] pairs of leather armor. There are as many as [-] swords, spearheads, etc., enough Let's form a well-equipped army." After counting the warehouse, Wu Guang happily came to the county government hall to report to Chen Sheng.

"Okay! Distribute all the weapons as soon as possible, and temporarily equip the armor with those who will follow us first." Chen Sheng ordered with some excitement after hearing this.

"General, captain! The elders of Qi County sent a lot of food, and there are six hundred pairs of leather armor." The military official who was appointed as the school captain also entered the county government to report the good news.

"The leather armor came too timely! I will thank those elders for letting them in!" Chen Sheng clasped his fists and punched himself, and said excitedly.

"The elders left after delivering the things!" Wu Chen said helplessly.

"Then don't disturb them. After all, our rebellion is not considered a success. When we succeed, it will not be too late to return!" Chen Sheng felt a little depressed after hearing this, but he still made a promise.

There are five hundred more leather armors, plus two thousand leather armors from the county government.Chen Sheng immediately ordered the military officials: "Let Zhao Sao, Deng Zong and Cheng Zhou come to discuss immediately."

Zhao Sao, Deng Zong and Cheng Zhou are all school lieutenants like Wu Chen, in charge of the troops under Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's command.Deng Zong and Cheng Zhou were Wu Guang's direct subordinates, while Zhao Sao and Wu Chen were Chen Sheng's direct subordinates.

The rebel army gathered in Qi County has reached 8000 people, except that 2000 people were allocated to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to take charge of them.The remaining 6000 people were commanded by these four school lieutenants, but their equipment was mixed.Both Wuchen and Deng Zong are good at martial arts, and they dare to fight.Therefore, among the two subordinates, those who have the most weapons, and a small number of them have leather armor, although it is a little damaged.

"Now Qi County has been captured by us, and we have obtained supplies and weapons and leather armor. But we still have a long way to go. There are Fuli, Zhuyi, Zhi, Chengfu and other counties near Qi County. We must discuss a charter, yes Attack there!" Chen Sheng changed everyone in the hall into leather armor, and said with an army look.

"General, I think we can attack to the west. Firstly, the north is the prefect of Sishui County, and there must be a well-equipped and brave main force of the Qin army. The south and east are the garrison of the naval commander Xiang Yu. If you go to these three sides If we go, it will be futile. It is better to attack the county where we came, so that our army can survive!" Zhao Sao exit suggested.

"I think it's feasible! General, the counties we passed by when we came here didn't have many Qin soldiers. Relying on our current soldiers and horses, we can easily win and seize the food and weapons leather armor in the county government to expand our strength. In addition, Chen County has not had a lot of soldiers and horses stationed all the time, so it is easier to capture than other counties. We can go west and take Chen County as a habitat, develop and grow ourselves, and attract heroes and righteous men who have fallen in the mountains of Jiujiang County. In this way Compete with the Qin army!" Wu Chen agreed with Zhao Sao's opinion, and at the same time cited the reality that Chen County has fewer soldiers and horses than other counties.

"General! A certain family also agrees to go west!"

"General! I also agree!"

"General! Give the order!" Wu Guang didn't agree or disagree, but he urged.

"Since everyone agrees that going westward is feasible, our army will go westward and send troops to Chen County from now on." Chen Sheng nodded in agreement as he united his will.

Unfolding the map stored in Qixian County, Chen Sheng ordered everyone to come over and give instructions on how to march.

Soon, the rebel army captured Zhi County, Chengfu County, Qiao County, Ku County, Xinyang County and other places.The rebel army in Chen Sheng's hands amounted to [-], and all of them were regular troops with leather armor and weapons.

Chen Sheng and others revolted and captured many cities, causing the magistrates of the surrounding counties to fear and summon the young men in the cities to take precautions.Moreover, the prefects of Chenjun, Sishui County, and Dangjun all wrote to Xianyang asking to send troops to resist the rebel army.

Dantu County, Naval Camp.

Xiang Yu read through the military books and war strategies under Fan Zeng's explanation, and suddenly Long Qie and Ying Bu came in to report almost at the same time.

"Captain, An, the guard of Donghai County, sent someone to ask the governor to send troops to guard."

"Captain, Tong An, governor of Jiujiang County, also sent someone to ask the governor to send guards to Jiujiang."

Nodding, indicating that the two of them knew it.Then he continued to ask Fan Zeng how to implement the art of war in the book of war. Long Qie and Ying Bu also found a place to sit down and wait.

Ever since Yingbo followed Xiang Yu, his irritable temper began to gradually subside.He turned into a person who likes to read military books, and even discussed the art of war with Long Qi, Li Qi and other people who were born in the Xiang family and loyal to Xiang Yu.

Seeing Yingbo listening to Fan Zeng's explanation like a dragon, Xiang Yu nodded secretly.Now all the generals under Xiang Yu's command can guard one side alone, except Fan Kuai, who is reckless and violent and deeply rooted in his bones.It is also because of this that Fan Kui became Xiang Yu's personal soldier and captain, while the others became captains or captains in charge of the soldiers independently.

"Captain, Yin Yu, the governor of Chen County, sent an envoy to ask you to send troops to suppress the bandits in Chen, Dang, and Sishui counties!"

"Captain, Liu Zuo, the governor of Sishui County, sent an envoy to ask you to send troops to suppress the bandits!"

"Captain, Guo Ming, the prefect of Dangjun, sent Qian Chong, the county captain, to ask you to send troops!"

While the three of them were listening to Fan Zeng explaining the art of war, several soldiers came in to report.Fan Zeng stopped explaining and nodded to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu also nodded to Fan Zeng, and then ordered: "I understand, let the envoys from Jiujiang County and Donghai County go to the tent with these three envoys."

"Here!" The sergeants came out with their hands clasped together.

"The two of you stay here, and go to the tent with me later!" Xiang Yu said with a smile to Long Qie and Ying Bu.

"Yes." Both Long Qie and Ying Bu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly agreed with their hands.
