(It’s the end of October. Thank you Xiao Geely for subscribing and voting for Sex Fish 2. I also have the nerve to ask for the next monthly vote. Ahem, waste is shameful!)

The sixth year of the New Calendar of the Qin Dynasty, the end of December.

While Li Yuan was negotiating with the Sima family over the development of Jiechi, and while Chen Ping was busy dealing with the operation of Qin's huge and complex state machine, the Hanzhong riot broke out.

A heavy snowfall covering the entire Guanzhong has made it extremely difficult to walk on the Chidao. In Hanzhong County south of the Qinling Mountains, the consecutive days of cooling have made the cold even more unbearable.

As a channel connecting Bashu and Guanzhong, the main task of Hanzhong County is to ensure the passage of Baoxie Road and Lantian Pass Wuguanchi Road. For a nascent regime, it is good to be able to set up institutions and complete this key task.

Yes, as for managing internal affairs and dealing with sudden freezing disasters, officials at all levels in the Qin State lack experience.

The performance of officials such as Zhao Bi is mediocre. For officials of this era, it is considered good to be able to do their job in disaster relief like the officials of the Qin State. If the disaster had been in the Chu State, I am afraid that people would have been displaced all over the place and disasters would have continued.

.And if it weren’t for Lu Pheasant and Ying’s contribution, this frost disaster would have come and gone quickly.

The lack of enough warm clothes and the shortage of prey in the mountains forced the Qiang and Di tribes hiding in the mountains one after another to go out of the mountains and come to the plains and dams that were unfamiliar to them. These foreign refugees with violent temperaments

The arrival of Hanzhong County suddenly broke the fragile balance of Hanzhong County.

A disaster of refugees begging for food, fueled by Ying Shi, Lu Pheasant and other people with ulterior motives, gradually evolved into a great turmoil sweeping the entire Hanzhong County.

Praise County.

After several rounds of competition, Lu Pheasant and Ying Shi, two women with a viper-like heart, sat down together. Lu Pheasant needed Ying Shi to deceive the ignorant people as a witch, and the blind Ying Shi also needed a spokesperson.

He wanted to show up for him, so after a change of appearance, Lu Pheasant changed his name to Ji Qi. His identity was also changed to the chief disciple of the divine witch.

Ji Qi.

That is to say, remember to scrutinize what you eat.

In the last few years when Liu Bang favored Qi Ji, the man who really accompanied Lu Pheasant was actually the man named Shen Shiqi, and Lu Pheasant now wants to use this method to comfort the most important man in his life.

In just ten days, the shaman forces headed by the Ying family gathered tens of thousands of people. After occupying Bao County, which had only a few dozen people, they sent troops to block the Bao River.

After receiving important supplies on the road, they marched all the way towards Nanzheng, the county seat of Hanzhong County.

The response of local officials in Hanzhong County to the disaster caused by the refugee rebellion was disastrous. Zhao Bi, who was busy with political affairs, took his new favorite concubine to the foothills of Dingjun Mountain to enjoy a hot spring bath in the winter. Those who stayed in Nanzheng

Officials eagerly sent people to Miandi to deliver messages again and again, but they did not know how to deal with the wave of refugees.

Nanzheng.

After being besieged by refugees for two days, it fell.

"Close the city gate quickly, don't let the chaos outside come in." This was the first wrong order given by Zhao Bi. The refugees originally had a glimmer of hope, but after seeing the city gate closed, they completely fell into despair.

middle.

"Since we can't survive anyway, we might as well kill these dog officials, rob the granary in the city, and live happily for a few days."

"Haha, there is wine, meat and rice in the city, let's fight for it." Among the refugees, a stout man with a beard rode a mule, brandishing a spear with a wooden handle and a copper head, shouting loudly.

"Fight it, fight it!"

"Kill the dog official. Overthrow the violent Qin——!"

"Princes, generals, ministers, it's better to be kind! Let's go into the city and have a taste of being a prince." The crowd was excited. I don't know who among the crowd shouted the slogans used by Chen Wangsheng when he launched an uprising in Daze Township.

The Qin State's thousand county soldiers guarding Nanzheng barely put up any decent resistance under the panic-stricken and haphazard command of the county governor Zhao Bi. During his one year as the county guard of Hanzhong, Zhao Bi, in addition to daily

Apart from the official slips and slips, almost no preventive measures had been taken. Now, when so many refugees suddenly arrived outside Nanzheng City, Zhao Ben felt that the sky was about to fall.

The number of soldiers from a thousand counties is not large, but Zhao Ben actually divided his troops into four branches and put up a defensive posture. In terms of military command ability, Zhao Ben is like a baby standing still. Five years have passed, and in his

Except for the fat all over his body, there is no other shining point.

The wooden city gate collapsed with a crash.

A large number of refugees used cut tree trunks to break through the Nanzheng City Gate. There were only a few small puddles in the moat that dried up in winter, which was unable to stop the refugees swarming up in order to survive.

When Zhao Ben heard the news that the refugees had invaded the city, he was stunned for a long time. After a long time, with a look of despair on his face, he snatched the sword of the county soldier who reported the news and stumbled towards the gate of the county house.

.

"Kill the thief, kill the thief!"

"Da Qin, there will be a truce until the blood is shed." Zhao Ben dragged his fat body and rolled out of the gate of the county government like a ball. The guards in the county government watched helplessly as their governor was heroic.

They stepped forward, each one stunned and at a loss, with disbelief in their eyes.

Several refugees rushed into the county house and met Zhao Bi. The narrow door was blocked by Zhao Bi and was completely covered. The impatient leader of the refugees cursed angrily: "You fat man, get out of here!"

"

Zhao Ben was panting and waving the bronze sword in his hand randomly. He could vaguely see some of his previous skills, but to be honest, Zhao Ben only had a few points left.

The leader of the refugees stepped forward and slammed the stolen sword against Zhao Ben's sword. He heard a choking sound, and Zhao Ben, who had looked very handsome just now, went numb, and the only weapon in his hand fell to the ground.

"Death! Qin Gou!" The leader of the refugees grinned ferociously, taking a step forward and piercing Zhao Ben's fat body with his sword.

"Chu Man, you are a Chu Man!" Zhao Ben exclaimed in shock. From the other party's voice, he heard the Chu accent that was very different from the Hanzhong people. Chu people appeared in the ranks of the refugees in Hanzhong County, and

Even as he became the leader, this matter became even more bizarre.

"Ahem, Fatty, I originally wanted to spare your life, but now, no need." The refugee leader's expression suddenly changed, and he used all his strength to press the sword into Zhao Ben's fleshy body.

Drops of blood flowed down the hilt of the sword and the hem of his trousers.

From a few drops to a stream of blood.

"Come on, let's go -!" Zhao Ben's voice became weaker and weaker, and his face became paler and paler. But he still stood firmly at the door of the county mansion, like a smiling Buddha statue, making people worry about him.

At the same time, I felt a little compassion.

The stunned county officials finally came to their senses and fled in panic. The time they had to escape was bought by Zhao Ben with his last bit of strength. Whether they could escape or not depended on their luck.

What did Zhao Ben, the county governor, do during his one-year term in Hanzhong County?

No one knows it better than those who follow them. Although they can't be said to bully men and women, they have never done a few decent things. When they are not taking their concubines for sightseeing all day long, they just gather a group of people.

The so-called guests were packed with friends. Such a man who neglected his duties actually showed unexpected bravery at the last moment of life and death.

The moment he turned around and fled, both the county officials and the county soldiers had a completely different impression of Zhao Bi.

——.

Chang'an.

In the snowy sky, groups of Qin army scouts were wearing white armor and rushing into the city from the Chencang and Lantian areas. In the outer court, where court meetings were usually held, many officials gathered in front of the Prime Minister Chen

People around Ping looked anxiously at the Prime Minister of Qin, who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Five years of experience.

What was left to Chen Ping, in addition to his prominent status, were the deep nasolabial folds on his forehead and a few strands of white hair around his ears. However, his spirit was maintained well, thanks to Zhang Suniang's diet. This fierce person

The widow, who is three years older than Chen Ping, does have her own way of taking care of and controlling little men.

The Diamond Man of Qin.

But it’s not just Li Yuan, Chen Ping’s charming demeanor makes him an extremely sought-after good man in the eyes of the ladies in Chang’an. More importantly, Li Yuan often goes on expeditions, and there is no shortage of mature girls around him, and Chen

Ping's wife is only a tigress named Zhang Sumiang.

Even when the tiger is fierce, it sometimes takes a nap.

The all-pervasive little girls began to seek the possibility of joining Chen Ping in various ways, such as blocking the streets, encountering each other, and even filing complaints. As a result, in Chang'an's Goulan bustling market, rumors about the young prime minister always became the focus of heated discussions on the streets.

, the story of Chen Ping who deceived his sister-in-law and stole gold.

The incident has also been adapted into another version in which the sister-in-law bullies the poor uncle, seizes his family property and sweeps him away. In this version, Zhang Sumiang has a keen eye for recognizing people, and Chen Ping, who is not yet prosperous, becomes a

A sung classic that Chang'an officials and their families love to talk about.

Being in a high position.

Chen Ping also experienced a twists and turns from being the chief minister to the state minister. Because of Li Bi's anti-corruption incident, he was demoted by Li Yuan's order. It was not until the Li Bi incident was investigated clearly and everything calmed down that he resumed his state duties.

The position of Prime Minister, now, another test is placed in front of Chen Ping.

Before Li Yuan returned, the Hanzhong riots were spreading more and more obviously. If measures were not taken decisively, the entire Hanzhong County might fall.

After hearing about the sudden changes in Hanzhong, all the generals of the Qin army who stayed in Guanzhong also arrived. Tingwei Menghu was even wearing a helmet and looked like he was about to go to war.

"Mr. Chen, the riots in Hanzhong have been going on for more than ten days. All the counties in the county are panicking. I heard from county officials who have returned that there are Chu people among these refugees. In my opinion, we must send troops quickly and resolutely suppress them.

Get rid of this mob." Zhang Han, who had a white beard and stared at his yellow eyes, said angrily.

Compared with his physical health when he went to Hexi, just one year later, Zhang Han's appearance has completely changed. The difficult conditions in Hexi have drained the last bit of savings from the veteran's body. Now he is as good as the street.

There is no difference between any aged old man. If there is any difference, it may be his temper.

"Old General, don't be angry. When sending troops, you should think carefully before sending troops. Ping has called you here to send troops to Hanzhong. Let's talk about where these troops come from and who will lead them?" Chen Ping

After comforting Zhang Han, he turned to everyone and asked.

"Xiang Chen, before sending out troops, General Le and the people from the Military Intelligence Department will go to Hanzhong to gather information. It will be easier for our small force to cross the plank road in winter. As for sending out troops, it is better to mobilize Nanyang County soldiers and horses first, and go from Wuguan

Enter Hanzhong for crusade. In addition, we need to send people from other roads to Shu County to inform General Wang Shang and ask him to attack from the south line to the north." Yan Le, the commander of Chang'an, who has always been silent, unexpectedly spoke first this time.

Zhao Bi, as the county guard, will undoubtedly bear the main responsibility for the chaos caused by the refugees in Hanzhong this time. However, as the actual person in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, Yan Le also feels a lot of pressure, especially after hearing from the escaped county officials that there are Chu people among the refugees.

When he was there, he sensitively felt that it was very possible that Lu Pheasant and others who fled from Chang'an had arrived in Hanzhong. If that was the case, Yan Le really had to reflect on where his mistakes had been these days.
