Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 187 The Death of Zhou Wen

Chapter 187 Zhou Wen's Death ([-])

Hengshan County, Zhu County.

The sheriff of Hengshan County has already received that Lujiang County was attacked by Xiang Yu and also subdued Wu Rui, the biggest bandit in Lujiang, as well as the descendants of the ancient Yue tribe living in the mountains of Lujiang.

After Chen Sheng became king and distributed his army to the west and north to attack the territory, he did not send his army south to attack Hengshan County.Although Hengshan County is good, it is a worthless existence in Chen Sheng's eyes.Although Zhang Chujun captured Qisi, Xian and other places in the northern part of Hengshan County, most of the area was still under the control of Hengshan County Guards of the Qin State.

There is only one decent county seat in Hengshan County, which is also the county seat of Hengshan County.Gong Cheyi, the governor of Hengshan County, gathered all the ten thousand troops in the county here, guarding against Zhang Chu's army going south and guarding against the former Chu Yun general Song Yi's troops entrenched in Shaxian in the west.

The land of sand envy, so Song Yi, the general of Chu Yun, raised the banner of anti-Qin after Chen Sheng raised his troops.After all, Song Yi was a well-known general in ancient Chu. Although he didn't know battle formations, he was well-known.Therefore, Yiyi Bing won the support of the Chu people in Nanjun, and gathered thousands of soldiers in Shaxian, becoming the largest anti-Qin force in Nanjun.In order to win over this not-so-small force, Chen Sheng rewarded Song Yi with an official position as the Southern Commander.

But Song Yi claimed to be a general of the Chu State, and he didn't accept Chen Sheng's award at all and still called himself a general.

Xiang Yu's soldiers and horses entered the territory of Hengshan County, and soon reached the city of Zhu County without encountering any resistance along the way.

"Listen, bus! I am Mei Yan, the captain of Chu Shangzhu Kingdom, Wu Jun Xiang Yu, and I am here to advise you to surrender as soon as possible. If not, the day you break the city will be your end!" Mei Yan, as a new voter The soon-to-be general was sent by Xiang Yu to persuade him to surrender, which can be regarded as the beginning of Xiang's group to accept him.Therefore, when Mei Yan was shouting, he very much hoped that he could complete the task assigned to him by Xiang Yu.

"Captain Meiyan! Can Mr. Wu guarantee that he will not kill innocent people after entering the city? Can the people in Qianshou in the city live a peaceful life like Kuaiji and other places?" Bus Yi is a county guard who loves the people, otherwise he would not be here Now when there are rebels everywhere, there is not a single anti-Qin team in Hengshan County.When Mei Yan shouted, the first thing that Gong Cheyi thought of was not himself and the officials but the people.

Xiang Yu, who was far away, also heard what the bus wanted, and he shouted loudly: "I, Xiang Yu, hereby make an oath: If Hengshan County surrenders voluntarily, I, Xiang Yu, will not harm anyone except those who do evil things after entering the city. The people of Limin in Hengshan County must return to the life of Jiujiang, Kuaiji and other places!"

Hearing Xiang Yu's oath, Gong Cheyi ordered: "Open the city gate! Welcome Wu Jun into the city!"

"Here!" Gongyuan, the county lieutenant under his command, took the order.

Xiang Yu took over the entire Hengshan County without a single soldier, which surprised Chen Sheng and others in Chen County in the north.

When Hengshan County was captured, Song Yi of Sha Xian sent people to join forces with Xiang Yu.But Xiang Yu refused and asked Song Yi to lead his troops to join him, but Song Yi had his own ambitions and did not agree.

Gong Cheyi and Miyahara joined the Xiang Group, relying on their original relationship with the governor and lieutenant of Changsha County, they helped Xiang Yu take down the entire Changsha without bloodshed.

For a time, Xiang Yu has become the No. 1 of the anti-Qin forces in the whole world in terms of the size of the territory alone.

After Wu Chen brought Zhang Er and Chen Yu into Zhao, under Zhang Er's suggestion, Wu Chen first subdued Zhang Wei, Han Guang, Chen Shi, Ding Fu and others who were quite famous in Zhao.There are no less than tens of thousands of rebels who have subdued, with as many as 15 soldiers.

As the power grew stronger, ambitions arose in the military minister's heart.

"Mr. Zhang! You see, I have more than [-] soldiers, but it's hard to do things without a name!" Wu Chen summoned the civil and military under his command, and said in Zhang's ear.

"King Chen too! I didn't know that the general made such great contributions, and he didn't give the general any land! In my opinion, why not call yourself Jun Zhao?" Xu Gong, a native of Handan who had just joined the military forces, said aloud.

Xu Gong was originally a minister of Zhao State, but after Qin destroyed Zhao, he surrendered to Qin State and became the magistrate of Handan County.The prestige in the Handan area is not small, relying on his military officials to control the entire Handan County without any effort.

"General! If you want a name, you can't use the name of Mr. Zhao, how about using Mr. Wu Xin?" Zhang Er smiled slightly at the somewhat moved military official. "For this reason, the general has not yet separated from the king of Chen and cannot use the name of the country; secondly, the general still needs to rely on the name of the king of Chen to continue to attack the city and fortify himself. I believe that the king of Chen will not blame him, but he will agree to it! "

"As long as King Chen supplies food and grass in place on time, the general will be able to separate himself from King Chen after taking down more cities! At that time, it will be up to the general himself whether he wants to proclaim himself a marquis or a king!" Chen Yu also said in Zhang After Er finished speaking, he added.

"At present, I can't fall out with King Chen. You must know that he now has a total of no less than 60 troops from Zhou Wen and Wu Guang." Looking at the military official who was still hesitating, Zhang Er suddenly became louder. out of the situation.

"Okay! From now on, this general will be Lord Wu Xin. Xu Gong will be Handan Commander; Zhang Er will be Pian General; Chen Yu will be Shangdang Commander; Zhang Wei will be General!" Wu Chen nodded after hearing this, and then reshuffled the forces among the generals.

"Thank you, my lord!" Xu Gong and the four others came out and clapped their hands after accepting the reward from the military officials.

Unlike Wuchen, Zhou Shi had the idea of ​​restoring Wei State after he captured Daliang.He found Wei Jiu and Wei Bao, the descendants of Wei, and explained his thoughts.

Wei Jiu didn't dare to let Zhou Shi abandon Chen Sheng, so Zhou Shi had no choice but to write to Chen Sheng, requesting to restore the six kingdoms to fight against Qin together.

Chen Sheng first received a military official who proclaimed himself Wu Xinjun, and was so angry that he was about to send troops to attack the military minister.Fortunately, after Cao Jiu, Zhao Sao and others persuaded him, Chen Sheng issued an edict to reward the military minister as Wu Xinjun.

But when Zhou Shi reported to report, Chen Sheng was furious and immediately sent an envoy to reprimand Zhou Shi.He also ordered people to go to Daliang to escort Wei Jiu and Wei Bao brothers to Chen County, but Zhou Shi had already discussed with Deng Zong, Deng Shuo's nephew and the newly joined Huang Xin.

After detaining Chen Sheng's envoy, Zhou Shi helped Wei Jiu become the king of Wei and announced to the world that the state of Wei was restored.

When the Wei State was reestablished, Tian Dan, who had raised the flag of rebellion in Linzi County, also claimed to be the King of Qi and re-established the Qi State.His younger brother Tian Rong was named Prime Minister, and Tian Heng was named General.

At this time, Han Guang, the general of the Wuchen Department who was sent to Jinglue's hometown of Yan State, saw this, and also proclaimed himself King of Yan in Jixian County, Guangyang County.

The military minister was annoyed at Han Guang's self-reliance at first, but he couldn't resist the temptation to become king.At the suggestion of Xu Gong, Zhang Er and others, Wuchen also proclaimed himself King Zhao in Handan.

In an instant, the restoration of the six kingdoms destroyed by Qin to the restoration of the five kingdoms secretly delighted the people of the six kingdoms in the Kanto region.
