Chen Sheng immediately killed the county captain, then picked up the head and carried it in his hand. Wu Guang also cut off Xu Qian's head. The two looked at each other, and then walked out of the military tent quickly. Everyone followed. At this moment, the soldiers all focused their eyes on the two bloody heads. Everyone knew what it meant to kill Qin's generals, so they were all filled with righteous indignation. The anger that had been accumulated in everyone's hearts for a long time was now gone. It erupted like a volcano, so everyone shouted in unison: "Anti Qin! Anti Qin!..."
Chen Sheng immediately gathered his team. At this time, the rain that had been falling for seven or eight days suddenly stopped. People felt extremely happy about this and thought it was God's will. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang mounted the horses of the county captain and jailer, stood in front of the military camp and announced loudly: "Brothers! The Qin Dynasty is ruthless and cruel to the people. It is either building large-scale construction or guarding the border. Qin II never treats the people Just look at it. This time we went to guard, there was nothing wrong with it. However, it has been raining heavily for several days and the roads are blocked. It has been delayed for seven or eight days. The court's decree also clearly stipulates: If everyone is late, they will be beheaded. Are we really going to die? "?" Nine hundred new troops raised their arms and shouted in unison: "We are determined not to die!" Chen Sheng roared angrily: "If we go to the north, even if we are lucky enough to be pardoned, we may not be able to survive if we guard Qin for a long time. Come back? Brothers! If we miss the deadline, we will die. If we escape and are caught, we will die. If we don’t die as a true man, we will die. If we die, we will die with great vigor and be remembered forever!"
The morale of the nine hundred new troops was high. They shouted in unison: "Overthrow the violent Qin! Overthrow the violent Qin!" Chen Sheng raised his arms again and said: "Brothers! Now we have no way out. Only by raising our troops to revolt, may we have a way to survive. Let's go! If God has eyes and our team continues to grow, I will lead you to kill Guanzhong and get rid of that foolish king and traitor! Emperors also have to take turns. Are princes and generals from ancient times all born noble? "After everyone heard this, a tsunami-like cry broke out in the crowd again: "Kill the second generation! Overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty!" Chen Sheng raised the head of the county captain and said: "The leaders of the two thieves Chen Qun and Xu Qian. Here, we should occupy Daze Township before dawn, and then build an altar to swear an oath. I will use the heads of these two Qin generals to honor the righteous flag!" Everyone said in unison: "I am willing to obey Captain Chen's order! "Nine hundred garrison soldiers, wearing brand new black military uniforms, looked like a man-eating demon that had just been released from hell, and they rushed towards Daze Township angrily.
In Daze Township, the mayor happened to get up at night to go to the toilet. He walked out of the house and saw that the rain had stopped and that white fish belly appeared in the east. He said happily: "Hey, the heavy rain has finally stopped. God is going to change, haha!" " Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden cry of killing. The township chief was shocked. When he listened carefully, he found that the voice had already reached the door. He didn't even bother to wipe his buttocks, so he hurriedly picked up his pants and ran towards the house to shout. people. At this time, the rebel army had surrounded the township government. The other officials and misfits in the township heard the sound and rushed out to see what was going on. Some of them were even naked. When everyone came to the courtyard, they heard someone shouting from outside: "We are Xiang Yan's soldiers and horses, and we are ordered to rebel against Qin and restore Chu. Open the courtyard door quickly, or the killer will come in and leave no chickens or dogs behind!" After hearing this, I was so frightened that no one even opened the door.
The rebels had no choice but to open the courtyard door and rush in. After everyone came in, they dragged the mayor, the stingy man, and the three elders to the middle of the yard. It happened that the two captains Chen and Wu also came in. When they saw the township leader, they said: "Don't be afraid, we won't kill you. But yesterday we received an order from the young master Fusu and the Chu general Xiang Yan, asking me to raise troops overnight. , call on the people to rebel against Qin and restore Chu. I have led 900 new troops to revolt. This is the head of the county captain and jailer!" The township chief was already dizzy with blood, but now he peed his pants when he saw two bloody things. The mayor's wife was weird, she farted loudly in public. When Chen Sheng heard this, he smiled and said: "Don't be too afraid, as long as you listen to me, I won't kill you!" Everyone said in unison: "Yes, yes, we must listen to the great hero!" Chen Sheng said He said: "You are all officials. Now call the villagers together immediately and explain my intention to everyone. You must join the army of Chu as soon as possible. You must also send all the grain in the warehouse and the cattle, sheep, and cattle in the whole township. Horses, send them all to the army. When the deed is accomplished, you will be credited with your merits. If anyone dares to stop it, or sends people to the county to inform, we will chop off your heads to pay homage to King Chu Huai!"
The mayor and others saw that the county captain and the jailer were drinking with them yesterday, and their voices were loud, but today they had their heads passed around. It was really unpredictable. , people have misfortune and good fortune every day! They were all so shocked that they lost their minds. The township head trembled and said: "Great... great hero, you are from the Chu country, and I am also from the Chu country. You want to avenge King Huai of Chu, and I also want to avenge you. We are willing to respond to the uprising and will never inform! Definitely!" No snitch! But I... dare to ask: Are the eldest son Fusu and General Xiang Yan really still alive?" Chen Sheng said with a smile: "After Qin destroyed Chu, General Xiang continued to resist Qin. After the defeat, he fled alone. Go to South Vietnam. Now call for troops there and ask us to raise troops overnight. The eldest son Fusu has also fled to Liaodong, and they are all alive." When the township chief heard this, he was very happy and immediately ordered someone to write a notice to call on the people. Join the army enthusiastically and respond to the uprising. Chen Sheng also asked the three elders to prepare three large banners and write on them.
It was already daybreak. When the villagers heard that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had revolted under the orders of Fusu and Xiang Yan, they rushed to tell each other, cheered and took out all the food in the house and donated various gifts. Planting iron farm tools. Since then, children from poor families in the countryside have also actively participated in the rebel army. Everyone cut down trees into soldiers and raised poles into flags, and quickly formed a team. Everyone has been busy for most of the day, and a red sun has already risen in the east. The whole world seems to be brand new, with the golden light in the sky and the heaven and earth taking on a new look.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were busy with business. Tian Zang came to report: "Captain Chen, the general altar has been built. Please go." Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led everyone to the newly built general altar. The ruler is round in shape, with a diameter of about ten meters, and in the center are three large flags fluttering in the wind. The word "Da Chu" is written on the first flag, which means that this rebel army is the army of Chu State; the words "Fu" and "Xiang" are written on the second and third flags respectively, which means that this army is the army of Chu State. Fu Su and Xiang Yan's troops and horses. This was obviously an unrelated matter, but in order to appeal to the people, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang borrowed their names to cater to the people's wishes. Chen Sheng looked at the three banners with great pride, and then he and Wu Guangxiong climbed onto the altar of generals with great pride.
At this time, there were nearly a thousand rebels lined up under the general altar. They all held various improvised weapons in their hands, and tied cloth on bamboo poles to make various military flags. Everyone looked eager to try. Chen Sheng looked at the surging crowd and ordered to bring up General Qin's head. The two sergeants carried the two heads on trays and walked up to the altar and placed the trays under the banner. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang first burned incense to worship heaven and earth and said: "The emperor and heaven are above, and the earth testifies: I, Chen Sheng (Wu Guang), am willing to obey the orders of Fu Su and Xiang Yan and raise troops to attack the unjust State of Qin! From now on, we will completely break with the State of Qin, and then help Justice, crusade against tyranny, and fight to the death. If we have two minds, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" The voice was very loud, and the two stood up after saying the oath. Next, the two called on the rebels to worship the flag together. The two of them first lit incense and candles, and then knelt down to worship the three banners of the Chu army. The nine hundred warriors also knelt down and worshiped. Everyone bowed respectfully three times, and then stood up and stood in awe.
Chen Sheng turned around and said loudly to everyone: "Brothers, the eldest son Fusu of Qin originally succeeded to the throne, but the first emperor did not know how to be wise and foolish, so he appointed his youngest son Hu Hai as emperor. That boy was originally a fatuous and incompetent guy. After he came to the throne, he favored the eunuch Zhao Gao, brutalized loyal people, killed the royal family, and created countless major cases and injustices in just six months. He was not worthy of being emperor at all. Last night, Wu Guang and I received a secret order from Fusu, and he told me You two, don't go to the north and die, we must obey the order and raise troops to attack Qin!" When the soldiers heard that it was Fusu's secret order, they all shouted happily: "Fusu! Fusu!...". In order to further encourage the people, Chen Sheng issued a second order. He said: "General Xiang Yan of Chu State also sent us a secret order, making me a general and Wu Guang a captain. He asked me to raise troops overnight. We The army of Chu is the army of Chu." The people under the altar shouted in unison: "Respond to Fusu and rush into Guanzhong! Respond to Xiang Yan! Revenge for Chu!" Chen Sheng issued a third order. He said: "Today, everyone All soldiers participating in the uprising must show their right arms as a symbol of the rebellion." Everyone then showed their right arms, then raised their arms and shouted: "The Qin Dynasty has no way, and we are willing to follow the orders of Fusu and Xiang Yan and follow General Chen to raise troops. ! Overthrow the tyranny and take revenge! Take revenge!" The soldiers roared, and the sound shook the sky. Chen Sheng then stepped down from the general altar, rode a horse, slowly drew out his sword, pointed in the direction of Qixian and said: "Brothers, follow me to attack Qixian now, charge!" The angry rebels said It surged towards Qixian like a tide.
This group of low-level bloody men finally let out a roar of resistance to the behemoth that was pressing down on them - the Qin Dynasty! More than two thousand years have passed, and the altar where Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and the rebels swore an alliance still lies in a field 20 kilometers southeast of Su County, Anhui Province. People who come to pay homage to the altar in later generations are filled with infinite emotion and emotion. Respect. There is a poem praising:
Qin's laws were harsh and unstoppable, and a storm suddenly arose in Daze Township.
The swans finally get into trouble on the ridge, and the hunting grounds begin in the grassy fields.
Cutting down trees to form troops and forming a barracks, raising poles as banners to face the wolves.
The heroic spirit soaring to the sky broke the silence, and the achievements of the first deed will be remembered forever.
