Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 178

Chen County was temporarily used as the county mansion of the general's mansion.

Chen Sheng was discussing with Kong Yu, Cai Ci, and Cao Jiu on which side to attack, hoping to quickly defeat Qin.

At this time, someone outside the door reported that there were two scribes who claimed to be Zhang Er and Chen Yu who had resigned.

Chen Sheng didn't know the names of these two people, but Cao Jiu knew and immediately cupped his hands and said happily, "Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General!"

"Where does the joy come from?" Chen Sheng didn't know, so he asked with a strong questioning meaning in his eyes.

"General! Zhang Er and Chen Yu are all famous people in Wei, and their reputation is not weak. Moreover, Zhang Er was once a guest of Lord Xinling, and later became Wei Huang Ling. He is very knowledgeable and has a good reputation in Wei Zhao. Small, and he is one of the few people who insist on opposing Qin. If he can get his help, I believe it will be of great benefit to the generals in capturing the land of Wei and Zhao!" Cao Jiu saw that the people in the hall were listening attentively, so he Say everything you know without reservation.

"General! I have also heard about these two people. Although they have not had the chance to meet each other, they have been friends for a long time!" Cai Ci also bowed his hands to confirm that Cao Jiu's words were true.

Now there are factions under Chen Sheng's command, especially among the civil servants.Cai Ci and Cao Jiu were many Chu people, so they came together logically; and Kong Yu led a group of Qi people who came to join Chen Sheng to form a group of their own!The two factions often have great disputes when sending officials abroad, but at the same time they are surprisingly consistent on major issues.

Most of the Qi people under Kong Yu's command came from the senior scholars of Jixia Academy in Qi State, while Cao Jiu Caici's faction was more troublesome from the clan of Chu State.In terms of cultural heritage, it is weaker than the Kong Yu faction. Naturally, it cannot compete with the Kong Yu faction when officials are sent abroad.In order to allow their faction to get more rights, Cao Jiu and Cai Ci took the initiative to show their affection to Zhang Er and Chen Yu who had not yet arrived.

Chen Sheng didn't have that much wisdom to think that he thought that now he was the one favored by heaven.First, they captured Nuoruo's big Chen County smoothly and recruited a large number of talents to consolidate the territory.Afterwards, unborn celebrities came to join him one after another, which aroused Chen Sheng's ambition to be king.

"Follow me to meet you!" Hearing Cao Jiu and Cai Ci's words, Chen Sheng knew their reputations and immediately got up and led the crowd to meet him.

Holding the hands of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, Chen Sheng said: "It is a blessing for me to have the help of these two gentlemen! I hope that the two gentlemen can assist me in eradicating the Tyrant Qin and giving the people a stable life!"

"Zhang Er (Chen Yu) is willing to serve the general!" After Zhang Er and Chen Yu looked at each other, they nodded and cupped their hands.

"Hahaha! How about the two gentlemen temporarily joining the army?" Chen Sheng laughed, and then arranged a position for Zhang Er and Chen Yu.

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Er and Chen Yu knew that they would not be trusted when they first arrived, so they accepted Chen Sheng's arrangement.

The clans in the county heard that Chen Sheng now has more than [-] soldiers, and a large number of talents have come to join him, and they all think that Chen Sheng is a person who can achieve great things.At the initiative of Zhu Fang, the head of the Zhu family, and Hu Wu, the head of the Hu family, all the families and clans in Chen County agreed to support Chen Sheng as king.Among them, the Wu Family where the Wuchen belonged has made great efforts, after all, no one is unwilling to have the merits of supporting him!
The proposal of the three elders in the county, together with the requests of all families and ethnic groups in Chen County.Chen Sheng proclaimed himself king in Chen County, and his country name was Zhang Chu.Wu Guang was made General, Cao Jiu was made Commander of Chen, Kong Yu was made Minister of State, Cai Ci was made Captain of the State, Zhou Wen was made former General, Wu Chen was made General of the Rear, Deng Zong was made General of the Left, Cheng Zhou was made General of the Right, Zhao Sao was made the Commander of Dangjun , the rest of the people have their own rewards, not to mention.

Chen Sheng became king, which aroused Zhao Gao's fear.I thought it was a group of bandits that could be wiped out easily, but I didn't expect it to be a bandit.After controlling the news, Zhao Gao began to frame Li Si.

Talking bad about Li Si in front of Hu Hai all day long made Hu Hai's perception of Li Si worse and worse.Then he instigated Li Si to dissuade Hu Hai from suspending his plan to build the Afang Palace, so that Hu Hai dismissed Li Si from the position of prime minister on the spot and imprisoned him in prison.

"Zhao Gao! I didn't expect you to be so insidious and cunning! I shouldn't have helped you and Hu Hai back then, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen to where I am today!" Li Si yelled angrily at Zhao Gao in prison.

"Li Si! Li Si! If you are not greedy for power, the prime minister must still be governing this huge empire now! But there is no medicine for regret in this world, no matter what, you Li Si have helped me. This is an unchangeable fact!" Zhao Gao looked at Li Si's fingers and smiled lightly.

Then he turned around and left, and told the jailer by the way: "Be good and serve the Prime Minister!" As he spoke, his tone became stern, "Don't let him eat, and don't let him see anyone! Do you understand?"

"Your subordinate understands!" the jailer said, not daring to disobey Zhao Gao.

"You are fine!" Zhao Gao said lightly after hearing the jailer's answer.

Zhao Gao knew that this jailer was from Li Si's hometown.This is also what he arranged long ago, and it is also part of his plan.

Bending to send Zhao Gao away, the jailer spat hard on the ground.

At the son Ziying's house, he was talking with his confidant.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that the second emperor spared my life because I was sorry for my father, I am afraid that I will be like those uncles now, and I will die without a place to die!"

"Young master, don't be sad! As long as you leave a useful body, the continuation of the blood is the most important thing!" Ziying's confidant comforted.

"Yeah! Otherwise, I would have assassinated Zhao Gao a long time ago, and I didn't know that the person who made my father commit suicide and apologize is...?" Ziying shouted angrily.

"My lord, don't talk any more! I'm worried that you will get killed!" Ziying's confidant immediately covered his mouth and nose, and whispered in his ear.

Pei County.

Since Liu Ji claimed to be Pei Gong, warriors from the left and right villages have come to join him.In addition, Liu Ji relied on the food left in the Peixian county government, and soon recruited a team of more than 3000 people.In order to win over the Yong family, a rich family in the county, Liu Ji made Yong Chi of the Yong family a general in charge of commanding the army.

Yong Chi is indeed a good man who is good at managing and training the army. Under his training, more than 3000 people have formed an army that is no longer like bandits like before.

Because Yong Chi's position is higher than Lu Wan's, Lu Wan feels very uncomfortable.Every time I have trouble with Yong Chi, I always find fault but I am taught by Yong Chi every time.Soon, Liu Ji promoted Ren Ao as the deputy future of the army to check and balance Yong Chi to prevent him from usurping his position.

In order to speed up the expansion, Liu Ji was going to attack Fengxiang.

Like bandits.
