The villagers were tied together and two Qin soldiers were watching them with long swords. The remaining Qin soldiers were busy searching for property.
The villagers were heartbroken when they saw their cattle being driven out. How valuable are farm cattle? A single family couldn't afford it, so three or two families got together to buy the cattle.
Normally, the villagers were very concerned about the cattle, fearing that something might happen to it. But now, the Qin soldiers roughly pulled the cattle out and beat them hard with wooden sticks.
Immediately afterwards, the villagers discovered that Qin Bing had searched out their treasured grain. These grains are rations before the autumn harvest. How can we survive without food?
Suddenly, there was another burst of crying in the village. It was the same Qin soldiers. They had robbed cattle and grain, but they were still not satisfied. Now they started to rob women.
The villagers were all very angry, but looking at the weapons of the Qin soldiers around them, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
The two Qin soldiers glanced at them, sneered and said, "How dare you be dissatisfied?"
The villagers did not say anything, but they were thinking in their hearts: What if your cattle, food, and family members were taken away. Can you still be indifferent? These Qin people are really hateful.
However, the two Qin soldiers seemed to be afraid that the villagers would not be angry enough. They sneered and said, "Even if you are dissatisfied, what can you do? In a moment, your head will be in a different place."
The villagers were completely desperate after hearing this.
When their cattle were taken away, they thought they would just live a hard life, and in a few years, they could collect the money to buy one. When their food was taken away, they thought of living frugally and begging everywhere until the autumn harvest. When the women in their family were snatched away, although they were indignant in their hearts, they thought that if they left one life behind, they might be able to marry another wife and continue their relationship.
Now, Qin Bing clearly told them that they would kill them all.
The villagers suddenly realized that they had no way out.
They finally thought of resisting. But his body was tied with ropes, so what could he do to resist?
A villager looked up to the sky and shouted: "If I had known this, I would have followed Xiang Liang and rebelled."
The other villagers sighed, obviously thinking the same thing.
At this moment, Xiang Liang opened the door and rushed over with a roar.
Xiang Liang is holding a sword, majestic, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The two Qin soldiers were startled and rushed forward with Changge in hand. Xiang Liang ducked out of the way of Chang Ge and struck at Chang Ge with his sword.
Xiang Liang's physical strength was extremely strong and his sword was extremely sharp. The long sword suddenly broke into two pieces.
Qin Bing screamed in fright, threw the broken Changge towards Xiang Liang, turned around and ran away. Seeing this, his companions no longer dared to confront Xiang Liang, so they turned around and ran away.
Xiang Liang did not pursue, but ran to the villagers and cut the ropes on them.
The villagers cried with joy, wrapped in the happiness of surviving the catastrophe.
Xiang Pi saluted Xiang Liang and said with great emotion: "I'm so ashamed. I didn't expect that today..."
Xiang Liang waved his hand: "Let's go to war, no matter whether your surname is Xiang or not, those officers and soldiers will find any excuse to rob property."
Xiang Pi nodded.
Xiang Liang said: "All the children of the Xiang family, follow me to kill the enemy."
This time, one-third of the villagers picked up the bamboo guns thrown on the ground.
Xiang Liang looked at the other people and said quietly: "Even if you don't want to revive Chu, don't you want to save your own lives?"
These villagers shuddered and immediately picked up the crude weapons scattered on the ground.
Xiang Liang pointed his sword at the Qin soldiers who were looting in the distance: "Follow me and kill them. Otherwise, they will definitely kill you."
After saying this, Xiang Liang rushed forward immediately. The villagers hesitated for a moment and followed suit.
Xiang Liang was at the front, roaring and rushing towards Qin Bing.
Those Qin soldiers carried half a tael of Qin in their waists, grains on their backs, and cattle and sheep in their hands. They were already stumbling. Now seeing Xiang Liang charging forward, it is impossible to organize effective resistance. After a few moments of parrying, he abandoned his armor and ran away.
At dawn, the battle in Xiangjia Village was over.
The villagers counted the results of the battle and found that only five people were injured and no one died. But all his food and houses were gone, because the Qin people threw torches on the roof before leaving.
Those thatched huts soon burst into flames, and then the fire took advantage of the wind and burned the whole village.
The houses are gone, the food is gone, and we can no longer stay here for long.
However, the villagers discovered that when those Qin soldiers fled, perhaps in order to run faster, they abandoned a lot of things, including weapons, clothes and armor, and some people did not even have time to take away their horses.
In line with the principle of minimizing losses, these villagers began to take weapons and armor as their own.
Soon they suddenly realized that they no longer looked like farmers with their families, but more like a group of soldiers.
Nowadays, the most unlucky person in the village is Xiang Pi.
He was originally a wealthy family in the village, so his family had the largest population. Now that the fire is coming, he is as poor as everyone else. Suddenly suffering from poverty, having an extra mouth is simply a fatal thing.
Seeing the women and children in the village crying for food, Xiang Pi had no choice but to find Xiang Liang: "General, you are well-informed, what should we do now?"
Xiang Liang said calmly: "We must find food, otherwise, within three to five days, someone in the village will starve to death."
Xiang Pi nodded: "But where can we find food now? These women and children are already weak, and they were frightened last night. Even if we take them to beg, it is impossible."
Xiang Liang smiled slightly and said: "Before I came to Xiangjia Village, I detected a small road forty miles away from here, which is the grain road of the Qin people. Do you dare to follow me to rob grain?"
The villagers were all shocked: "Robbing official grain, this..."
Xiang Liang said calmly: "You have killed the officers and soldiers last night, are you still afraid of robbing the officers and soldiers today?"
The villagers all sighed. They suddenly realized that they had embarked on the path of rebellion.
Xiang Liang said to Xiang Pi: "Uncle, you are the oldest and quite prestigious in the village. It is up to you to find a safe place and lead the women and children in the village to hide. Don't let the Qin people find you and take revenge on the villagers."
Xiang Pi nodded.
Xiang Liang said to the men: "You guys, who is willing to follow me to rob food?"
Villagers, look at me and I look at you. Finally, someone stood up. After all, this is the only way.
A total of seven people stood up. Xiang Liang nodded to the seven men: "Okay, today I will divide these hundred people into seven corps. The seven of you will be the corps commanders. When marching and fighting, whether advancing or retreating, you must obey orders. Soldiers do not obey orders. If the commander fails to obey orders, I, the general, will kill him."
The seven corps commanders suddenly became officers. Their faces were a little stunned, but also faintly excited. When they looked at Xiang Liang again, their eyes were a little different, with some intimacy and good impression.
Xiang Liang struck while the iron was hot, summoned these seven people, and whispered for a while. They were promised some privileges and benefits. These seven people quickly became Xiang Liang's confidants.
Anyway, now there is no other way but to rebel. Since you want to follow Xiang Liang in rebellion, then you should be the leader of the rebels.
After appeasing these seven people, Xiang Liang pointed his sword at the villagers and quickly divided them into seven groups.
Some villagers whispered: "We... we didn't agree to rebel. Why did we suddenly start a marching order?"
Xiang Liang turned around suddenly and stared at the villager fiercely.
The villagers suddenly discovered that Xiang Liang, who was still kind and kind last night, had changed.
Xiang Liang said calmly: "Commander, kill him for me. This man's monstrous words are confusing the crowd and disrupting the morale of our army."
The man was startled. And his team leader was hesitant.
Xiang Liang looked at the captain: "If you disobey my order, I will kill you."
The captain gritted his teeth and walked towards the villager.
The villagers stepped back in horror and shouted to the surrounding villagers: "He is only one person, but we have hundreds of people, swarming up, why should we be afraid of him?"
No one else moved.
The villager started shouting again: "Second uncle, cousin, please help me."
Among the team, two villagers showed unbearable expressions on their faces, but they were suppressed by their team leader.
The villager was desperate. He looked at the team leader who was walking towards him step by step with his sword in hand: "We all have the last name Xiang, have you forgotten? You got married last year and I gave you a jar of good wine."
The Wu Commander hesitated for a moment and looked back at Xiang Liang.
The villager also began to beg for mercy: "General, this villain has realized his mistake."
Xiang Liang walked over slowly with his sword in hand. The villager's face turned pale, he knelt on the ground and cried hoarsely: "General, I know my mistake. I am willing to rebel against Qin Xingchu."
Xiang Liang said calmly: "My general's military orders are like mountains, how can they be changed?"
The villagers suddenly turned pale.
Xiang Liang swung his sword, and the sword flashed with white light. The villagers screamed, and then touched their necks in shock.
He was not dead, Xiang Liang just cut off his bun.
The villager was sitting on the ground with disheveled hair. Suddenly, his body was dripping with water. He was so frightened that he peed.
Xiang Liang said calmly: "Since you are a first-time offender, I will spare your life for the time being. Now I will cut off your hair and take the place of my head, so that you can make meritorious deeds."
The villagers trembled and said: "Yes...yes...Thank you, general, for your magnanimity."
Xiang Liang turned around and pointed his sword at the remaining villagers: "If it weren't for my general last night, all of you would have been killed by the Qin people. Today, if my general doesn't lead you to rob food, all the women and children in your family will starve to death." .”
The villagers nodded in agreement.
After such a commotion just now, they had no other thoughts at all and wanted to follow Xiang Liang to the end.
Xiang Liang suddenly smiled and said: "I promise you, general. After the Qin is destroyed, you will all be able to be high officials. By then, there will be big houses, beautiful women, and thousands of acres of fertile land. Chariots and horses will accompany you, and there will be a cloud of servants. General. It is better than you working hard for generations but not having enough clothes to cover your body and not having enough to eat.”
The villagers' eyes gradually brightened.
Xiang Liang said bewilderedly: "Two years, maybe only one year. I can lead you to destroy Qin. You also saw the skills of Qin's soldiers last night. The military discipline is corrupt and they are as timid as mice. Such Qin people can stop us ?"
The corps commanders shouted loudly: "No."
The villagers' enthusiasm was ignited and they shouted loudly: "No."
Xiang Liang asked again: "Are you willing to follow me to rebel against Qin?"
The corps commander shouted loudly: "Follow me to the death."
The villagers shouted desperately: "Follow me to the death."
The villager with disheveled hair and almost beheading shouted loudest. After being scared out of his wits, he became the most loyal to Xiang Liang. Deep down in his heart, he always felt that this kind of loyalty could bring him a sense of security. So he became Xiang Liang's die-hard loyalist.
Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Follow me to kill the Qin people and rob the army of food."
The villagers followed Xiang Liang with high morale.
Xiang Liang was riding on his horse, looking at the hundreds of people behind him, and grinned: Make a comeback? is it hard?
…………
Xianyang City. Its daybreak.
The city gate opened, and Xiang Yu and two of the Xiang family's children, shivering from the cold, hurried into the city.
The registration office for employers is located in Banxian Building. Today, Banxian Tower may have specially launched some cheap meals for the poor in order to take care of the people who came to sign up, and made another profit.
When Xiang Yu and his party returned to the Banished Immortal Tower, they found that there was already a long queue. All men with enough strength wanted to try their luck here. If they can be selected as employed households, they will have nothing to worry about in their lives.
Now all the powerful and powerful people in Xianyang City are yelling at Shangjun Courtyard.
Because overnight, the vegetable vendor disappeared, the poor man who picked up dung disappeared, and even the servants at home ran away. It was impossible to live this day.
Xiang Yu and others wanted to jump in line, but were almost beaten to death by the poor people waiting in line.
They had no choice but to queue up obediently.
During this period, Xiang Yu raised his head and looked ahead. When it was their turn, it would probably be dark again.
Fortunately, several of the Xiang family's descendants stayed in the Banished Immortal Tower yesterday and did not leave the city. These people have already helped Xiang Yu and others register.
When it was almost noon, Xiang Yu and others were led by a craftsman to a room. The craftsman asked them to go in one by one.
Xiang Yu had already inquired about it before. All craftsmen who want to enter Shangjun Courtyard must have a clean family background. Their ancestors have been honest people for three generations and have never committed any crime.
And this room is used to inquire about one's origin.
Therefore, Xiang Yu had an exchange with the Xiang family's children and made up some background information for himself.
They used the identity of Liu Ji, who had robbed them. Called himself Liu. From Sishuiting, Pei County.
When Xiang Yu entered, he found that the people sitting inside were neither immortals nor craftsmen, but a few middle-aged women with unpleasant looks on their faces.
These women said to Xiang Yu: "The eight of us are the most famous matchmakers in Xianyang City."
Xiang Yu was confused: What do you mean? Can you help me find a matchmaker?
One of the matchmakers smiled and said, "You are lucky to have eight of us serving you together."
One of them took out a piece of paper, raised his head and asked: "Tell me, what is your name, where are you from, how old are you? I roughly recognize a few words. Write down your story, and you will not be an employer in the future." It doesn't matter, we can still use it when we talk about matchmaking. Seeing that you look fair and fair, maybe a girl will like you. "
Xiang Yu was stunned. ntent
I was a magician in the Qin Dynasty
