Chapter 34 Does the prince and general Xiangning have a seed?

The imperial court's order to arrive in Taiyuan before December was also carefully calculated. There were so many people coming from all over the place who were not under each other's command, so a training process was required, and spring was the best time to attack.

season, so I wanted them to go to Taiyuan in December, and after several months of training, attack Shangjun in March.

This idea is also very good, but unfortunately they missed one point. The distance between soldiers and horses from various places and Taiyuan County varies. After your order is issued, you will have to recruit people from various places to go to Taiyuan. Officials from various places will have to go to Taiyuan in just a few days.

It is difficult to recruit so many strong men, let alone rush to Taiyuan County. So people everywhere have begun to complain, but they are still waiting for an opportunity, someone to take the lead.

The night was quiet, and from time to time a cold wind blew, causing those who were already asleep to subconsciously move towards the lit bonfire. Chen Sheng, who was beside Bipiao's bonfire, was still awake. He was the one rushing to Taiyuan.

The commander of the army and horses, he was still worried about whether he could reach Taiyuan County in time. The copper knife in his hand was flicking the burning branches one after another. Chen Sheng was completely unsure because he had been killed along the way.

It snowed heavily, so the official road was blocked. Now they had to take a detour, and the already tight schedule was now even harder to catch up on.

At this time, a man slowly came up to him. This man was tall and thick, with dark skin and wrinkles on his face. He looked close to fifty, but Chen Sheng knew that he was less than thirty-five years old, because he was

Wu Guang, his friend for many years, is also another village leader in this team.

The village commander is not the highest commander in this team, he just has escort duties. To put it bluntly, he is the one who takes responsibility. When something happens, they are the ones who take the lead. They get the credit, but the only camp next to him is sleeping soundly.

Several Qin soldiers took the lead. But they also have a high prestige in this team. Under normal circumstances, the two of them are responsible for their actions. Those Qin soldiers only care whether someone escapes halfway. After all, they all have the responsibility.

They were the commanders of two villages, and several Qin soldiers were too lazy to contribute.

"Old Wu, what do you say?" Chen Sheng moved the branches, causing the dimmed flames to burn again.

Wu Guang walked to him, holding some dead branches in his hand: "I was afraid that the fire here was not strong enough, so I brought some firewood." After a pause, he said, "Old Chen, you said we could make it in time this time.

Are you coming?"

Chen Sheng sighed and said: "I don't think it's difficult. The nine hundred of us have never left the village, and we are completely unfamiliar when we get here. Now all the official roads have been blocked by heavy snow. How can we find the way in such a detour?"

Rush to Taiyuan County."

Wu Guang pouted towards the tent and said, "Those soldiers have traveled north and south, don't they know the way?"

"Don't you see that they are only responsible for checking if there are any escapees along the way? They will not interfere at all with these rush matters. After all, it doesn't matter to them whether you arrive early or late.

Not their head." Chen Sheng said coldly.

"Nine hundred of us are late, are they really going to chop off nine hundred heads?" Wu Guang still didn't quite believe it.

"Have you forgotten Li Ergou who was in the village two years ago?" Chen Sheng smiled, but the smile looked a little ferocious under the flickering bonfire light. "He is also a figure in the village. It is said that he is even with Li Ergou."

He had some friendship with the chief, but he was beheaded just because he was half a day late when he went to do the corvee service. He is actually a friend of the chief or something."

"He...he is one person after all," Wu Guang said with a chuckle, "We have more than 900 lives here."

"Nine hundred lives? Huh, I'm afraid these nine hundred lives are not in the eyes of those who are officials. They only care about whether their orders can be implemented and executed, and whether their official positions can

After being further promoted, the lives of us common people are not worth mentioning in their eyes. We in Great Qin have always governed the country with severe punishments and laws, so don’t forget it, Old Wu." Chen Sheng sneered.

Wu Guang shuddered after hearing what he said, and after a while he said: "Then we can only speed up our progress, otherwise we will really lose our lives."

"I'm afraid that no matter how hard we try, we won't be able to reach Taiyuan in December."

"Why?" Wu Guang was very surprised.

"Didn't you notice that we are walking on mountainous roads, which are extremely rugged. If we keep walking like this for a while, the weak ones will be unable to bear it. Moreover, we don't have horses, so we can't go any faster no matter how fast we go."

"Then we are doomed." Wu Guang looked sad.

"Actually, even if we can get to Taiyuan, do you think we will survive?" Chen Sheng suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Wu Guang was stunned by his question.

Chen Sheng looked at the tent and said: "I asked those Qin soldiers a few days ago and found out from their mouths the reason why they went to Taiyuan. It turned out that Fusu and Hu Hai were competing for the throne and raised their troops a few months ago.

Conspiracy, the imperial court sent 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress it, but only less than 50,000 troops were left. You said that those of us who have never been on the battlefield went to fight Fusu's army, which is not sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

?"

"Listening to what you said, I feel that there is only one chance of death for us." The wrinkles on Wu Guang's face deepened.

"I've been thinking about how to survive these days, so I can't sleep peacefully." Chen Sheng's eyes showed a murderous look, "Now I finally thought of it."

"Is there any way to save your life? Tell me." Upon hearing this, Wu Guang hurriedly came to him.

"Let's kill these Qin soldiers and rebel!" Chen Sheng said softly and carefully.

Although the words were soft, they were like a thunder in Wu Guang's ears. He stared at Chen Sheng blankly for a while, as if he didn't know him at all, and then stammered and asked: "You mean... say...

Kill them?" He pointed at the tent.

Chen Sheng did not answer him, but nodded vigorously, and then said with some distress: "But there are still too few people willing to do this now. After all, most people have not felt the threat of death."

After a long time, Wu Guang said: "Old Chen, no matter what you want to do, Wu Guang, I will definitely support you. Let's do it this time."

Chen Sheng's eyes showed a moved look: "I knew you were my good brother, Lao Wu. With your support, I have greater confidence."

"But how can we get these people to completely side with us?" Now that Wu Guang had decided to work with Chen Sheng, he naturally began to think about rebellion.

"Let's take a look first. Unless we have to, I don't want to directly kill the Qin soldiers and force them to join me in the rebellion. After all, it will be difficult for the two of us to kill those five battle-hardened Qin soldiers.

"After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he lay down next to the bonfire, "You should also take a rest, we have to be on the road tomorrow."

More than 900 people continued to shuttle through the mountains and forests, and time slowly ran out. As the time approached December, the five Qin soldiers began to become irritable. Although they would not beheaded if they were late, the punishment was still avoided.

It didn't work, so they no longer ignored anything, and began to urge everyone to move quickly along the way. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang watched their actions coldly on the side, and they could see the difference between these people and the five Qin soldiers.

The friction is getting bigger and bigger, but this is good news for them.

On this day, they came to the jurisdiction of Hedong County, but perhaps because of the recruitment of troops, no one was seen for dozens of miles. Everyone slept in front of a small temple tiredly. Looking at the broken statues in the temple, Chen Sheng thought

A strategy.

He secretly came to Wu Guang and whispered a few words. Wu Guang nodded and left. There was a small river in front of the temple. Although it was winter, the river did not freeze. The Qin soldiers looked at the river and froze from time to time.

The fish that came up felt a little slanderous, so they ordered a few people to go down to the river to catch them.

After a while, several big fish were caught, and everyone set up pots and cooked the fish on the fire. Suddenly someone shouted: "Hey, there is something in the belly of this fish."

Everyone hurriedly came over to take a look. The man opened the fish and took out a piece of rag with three words written on it. "What is written on it?" Everyone asked curiously.

The literate person among them took a look and said in surprise: "King Chen Sheng, it says King Chen Sheng!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Chen Sheng, who was pretending to be confused. "Okay, okay, let me scatter them all. What's so interesting about these things?" A Qin soldier used a whip to gather around the crowd.

The people dispersed. The small disturbance stopped, but the doubts in their hearts were not dispelled.

At night, Hao Liu, who was sleeping in a daze, stood up and wanted to take a break. Suddenly he saw firelight in the ruined temple. "Who is going to the temple in the middle of the night?" Driven by curiosity, he came to the temple.

.

There was a faint sound coming from inside, which made his hair stand on end. He gathered his courage and continued to walk in. "Da Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng!" A strange cry suddenly reached his ears.

"Ah!" Hao Liu was startled and turned around and ran towards the temple door. Many people woke up when he shouted, and the voice in the temple also came out: "Da Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng

!Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng!" One voice after another lingered in everyone's ears.

"It's the Fox Fairy. The Fox Fairy has appeared!" Wu Guang took the opportunity to shout.

"What fox fairy? Please stay calm." Those Qin soldiers saw that the momentum was wrong and yelled loudly.

At this time, Chen Sheng suddenly jumped up from the ground and said in a high voice: "Great Chu is rising, King Chen Sheng! I am here to rescue you. Now the Qin government is tyrannical. It is time for King Chen Shengcheng to lead you to overthrow the tyrannical Qin.

"As he spoke, he winked at Wu Guang on the side, and at the same time stabbed a Qin soldier who was running towards him with his knife.

Wu Guang did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly raised his sword to chop at one of the Qin soldiers. After hearing the words of "Fox Fairy", he saw the actions of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, plus he was dissatisfied with these Qin soldiers these days.

, the crowd's anger finally broke out. They shouted and rushed forward, throwing the Qin soldiers to the ground in a few blows. Several Qin soldiers were beaten to death at once with sticks.

Chen and Wu just put on a show and got rid of all the five Qin soldiers. Chen Sheng waited for them to stop and said loudly: "I didn't expect that I, Chen Sheng, was actually sent by the Fox Fairy to rescue the people of the world. From now on, we are brothers.

We want to overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty and create our own world. Here everyone can be crowned king and prime minister, princes, generals and prime ministers. Wouldn’t it be better to have the right kind?"

"Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?" A voice resounded through the woods, and the passionate people did not see a person slipping out of the ruined temple quietly and standing in the middle of the crowd.
