Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 177 Pei Gong
"Okay!" Xiang Yu applauded loudly, and then waved his hand to signal Xue Zhong to go down.

Looking to the northwest, Xiang Yu thought in his heart: "Chen Sheng, don't let me down! This overthrow of the Qin State requires you to take the lead, so that I can develop well behind you and slowly conquer the whole world!"

………………

Chen County, Chen County.

"Brothers! Break through and wipe out Tyrant Qin! Kill!" Deng Shuo, the nephew of Deng Zong's relatives, the fierce general of the rebel army, led the vanguard and rushed to Chen County first.

"Kill!"

Thousands of elite soldiers followed Deng Shuo to attack Chen County, and the county magistrate in Chen County led hundreds of soldiers desperately firing bows and crossbows in order to prevent the rebels from attacking.However, based on how hundreds of sergeants could resist it, they were killed by the rebel army on the city wall in a short time and started the battle to seize the city.

When Deng Zong saw that his nephew had led the vanguard death squad to kill the city wall, he waved his hand to signal the whole army to press on.

The [-] army pressed forward, and the densely packed rebel army broke through the city gate and entered the city.

At the same time, Chen Sheng at the east gate ordered Wu Guang to lead 2 horses to the west gate to prevent the Qin army from the west from coming to support, and Wu Chen led 3 horses to the north city to block the Qin army who might come to support from the north.He sent soldiers from Zhou Shi, Song Liu and others to Chen County with the newly recruited soldiers, because he had already received news that the Nancheng Gate had been breached by Deng Zong.

After strangling two thousand Qin troops to death, Chen Sheng entered the Chenjun prefecture.Then recalled Wu Guang and Wuchen, and then ordered the opening of official warehouses to distribute food to the people in Guizhou.

After the capture of Chen County, the rebel army became more and more powerful, and Kong Yu, the eighth grandson of Confucius; Chen Liuren Lu Chen, Lu Yi brothers and others came to join him.For a time, Chen Sheng had a lot of talents under his command, which aroused Chen Sheng's ambition.

"General! There is a scholar in the land of Shangcai who is good at planning. Because of the benevolence of the second generation, he resigned from office and went back to the countryside. If he can get his help, it will definitely bring the family of Chen Jun back." Kong Yu cupped his hands and recommended talents to Chen Sheng.

"What's this person's name?" Although Chen Sheng saw more than [-] soldiers, he was suffering from the lack of people who were good at planning and asked immediately after hearing what Kong Yu said.

"This person's name is Cai Ci! But someone only knows that he lives in seclusion in the countryside of Shangcai, but he doesn't know where he is!" Kong Yu replied with his hands clasped.

"It's okay! Let the sergeant go to visit, and when you know, I hope you can invite me with you!" Chen Sheng waved his hand, and then said earnestly.

"If the general can go there in person, I believe Cai Ci will help the general to destroy the Tyrant Qin!" Kong Yu said happily when he heard that Chen Sheng paid more attention to himself.

"Mr. is serving as the governor of Chen County for the time being. How about managing Chen County?" Chen Sheng asked in order to win his heart after listening to Kong Yu's words.

"Thank you, General!" Kong Yu immediately bowed his hands and thanked him.

"Mr. Chen Junrang's governance, I think it will be more prosperous in the future!" Chen Sheng also did not hesitate to praise him.

After the command of Kong Yu and Chen Jun was granted, Cao Jiu was granted the command of Sishui.Wu Guang was promoted to general, and Deng Zong and Wuchen Zhou Shi were all promoted to captain.Scholars such as Zhao Sao were either appointed as county magistrates, or appointed as generals to join the army, master books, etc.

A few days later, Chen Sheng took Kong Yu to Shangcai to invite Cai Ci in person.Cai Ci was granted the title of Fangjun and served as the guard.Later Cai Ci recommended a general named Zhou Wen.Speaking of which, Zhou Wen and the Xiang family also have a lot of connections, Zhou Wen was originally a general of Xiang Yan's department, and it was Xiang Yan who found out in the army and personally promoted him.After Xiang Yan died in battle, he even threw himself into the war against the Qin army.However, after the fall of the Chu State, they became settled. No matter how the former Chu generals resisted, they were all suppressed and discouraged. Next Zhou Wen lived in seclusion in the countryside like Cai Ci.

Although Zhou Wen is over sixty years old, his arms are still strong and his knowledge is extensive.Chen Sheng had heard about it a long time ago in Chen County, and he took Kong Yu and Cai Ci to ask him to come out for help.

Zhou Wenren was old-hearted, and immediately agreed to Chen Sheng.In his opinion, without Wang Jian and other famous generals of the older generation, Qin would be easily defeated.

When he arrived in Chenxian County, Chen Sheng immediately appointed Zhou Wen as General Pi, just like Wu Guang as his right-hand man.Zhou Wen's joining led to a sharp increase in the number of people participating in the rebel army in Chen County, and the size of the rebel army reached more than 20 in a short time.

………………

Pei County, since the Chen Sheng uprising.Fan Dong, the magistrate of the county, was very frightened and summoned the young men in the city to guard the city to prevent the attack of the rebel army.

It was constantly reported that the rebel army captured that county, and the number of soldiers and horses had grown to tens of thousands, which made Fan Dong even more frightened.

Among the county yamen, Fan Dong summoned Jian Qishi and Prisoner Cao Yi and Ren Ao to discuss countermeasures.

"Tell me! Is there any way other than calling the county's young men to resist the rioters?" Fan Dong asked the two men.

"My lord, there is no other way!" Shen Qishi replied, clasping his hands.Ren Ao also nodded at the side, agreeing with what Shen Qishi said.

"But there is another way to increase the number of troops in the county!" Shen Qishi said after Fan Dong showed a frustrated expression.

Originally thinking that the only way to escape from this place was Fan Dong, his eyes lit up and he asked, "What way?"

"My lord! Liu Ji in Mangdang Mountain has thousands of people under his command. If you can recruit Liu Ji to come back to the county to garrison! Then Chen Sheng and others' rebellious army will have to weigh it if they want to attack our Pei County!" Shen Qishi said immediately Method, he is whitewashing Liu Ji, and only in this way can Liu Ji be freed from punishment and suffering from leaving his hometown, and Pei County can be protected from the disaster of war.

"Is this Liu Ji willing to come back?" Fan Dong seemed to be a little moved and asked Shen Qishi.

"As long as the lord sends a document to forgive his sins, he will definitely come back!" Seeing Fan Dong's expression, Shen Qishi immediately asserted.

"Okay! The county will send someone to invite Liu Ji back now!" Fan Dong nodded in agreement.

Shen Qishi and Ren Ao left contentedly, but they didn't know that Fan Dong had murderous intentions towards them.

Originally, Fan Dong thought that the two would persuade him to join Chen Sheng's uprising army and plan for a bigger official position.But never thought that Jian Qishi and Ren Ao wanted to welcome Liu Ji back, which was not in line with what Fan Dong thought.

Fortunately, there are people around Fan Dong who review Qishi's arrangements and know that he is going to kill himself and Ren Ao.Shen Qishi immediately fled Pei County with Ren Ao and headed for Liu Ji in Mangdang Mountain.

On the way, I met Liu Ji who was going to Pei County. After interrogating Qishi, he said that Fan Dong was falsely pardoning Liu Ji, but in fact he wanted to trick Liu Ji and others to go back and kill him for meritorious service.This made Liu Ji and his party furious, and soon sent troops to Pei County.

Because Liu Ji is also a well-known figure in Pei County, in order to prevent the children of Pei County from killing each other, the people in the county beheaded Fan Dong and welcomed Liu Ji into the city.Later, because Liu Ji had more than a thousand men and horses in his hands, Liu Ji was appointed as the commander of Pei County.

Liu Ji was delighted to be elected, and at the suggestion of Jian Qishi, he called himself Pei Gong and recruited troops to watch the world situation and make plans.
