Donghai County, a place where lakes and swamps intersect, is full of reeds. Once a person gets into it, his traces will be hidden in the blink of an eye. It is truly a God-given hiding place.
This was the good road of Chu State. When the Qin army marched south, Xiang Yan stationed his troops here. With the help of the natural dangers of the lake and the endless reeds, he blocked Wang Jian's army. In the end, he relied on Zhao Tuo to take a detour to capture Huaiyin, and then defeated Xiang Yan.
line of defense.
After the unification of the Qin State, a county was established here, named Xutai, which was also known as Xuyi in later generations. Now it is the real base camp of the anti-Qin people of the Six Kingdoms. They took advantage of the natural geographical advantages of this place and the Qin people's influence in Donghai County.
Their power is shallow and they survive successfully, waiting for the opportunity for them to rise up and resist.
A piece of flat land intertwined with water and swamps, with a gathering in it.
"General Jing! Now that the Dog Emperor has been beaten to death by Zhang Zifang in Pengcheng, my uncle has raised the flag to start an uprising. This is a great opportunity to expel the Qin invaders and regain our Chu Kingdom. General Jing, what are you still hesitating about? Why don't you immediately
Gather all the righteous men to respond to my clan, Xiang!"
A tall young man, comparable in size to an adult, was standing in the room, shouting at the man sitting on the straw mat.
He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp edges on his face. Although he was a young man, his voice was louder than that of a strong man, making everyone in the room buzz.
Jing Tong looked at the young man yelling at him, a daze flashed in his eyes.
Ling Yin, General Xiang.
This young man is really similar to his grandfather.
Wait until the young man's voice falls.
Jing Tong said gently: "Ji'er, now is not a good time to start an uprising. The Qin army that wiped out our six kingdoms is still there, and Zhao Tuo is still there. As long as this man leads a Qin army, he can continue to sweep the world."
Moreover, the clans of Qi, Han, and Wei have been imprisoned in Guanzhong. Even if we start an uprising, it will be difficult to get support from these three places. We will only be wiped out by the Qin army."
"Zhao Tuo..."
Xiang Ji gritted his teeth and whispered the name, his eyes turning red.
As he grew older, under the guidance of Jing Tong, he learned more about the world situation and marching operations. Especially from Jing Tong, a veteran who had fought with Zhao Tuo several times, Xiang Ji learned about the great general who had defeated him.
How powerful are my father and his father's general Qin?
But now, the Xiang family has rebelled against Qin. If Jing Tong is unwilling to respond, then the entire Xiang family will have to fight the Qin army alone.
Seeing Xiang Ji's face, Jing Tong guessed what he was thinking, and said sternly: "Your uncle sent you to me before, and later sent Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Tuo. He once said that you, the Xiang family, might be involved in Zhang Zifang's affairs.
And was implicated. Now that he is rebelling against Qin, I am afraid that this incident happened and he was forced to rebel. Although the time is not ripe, judging from the current situation, if the emperor is really killed by Zhang Zifang, the Qin people will not have no chance of victory in the chaos.
"
"Let's do this. I will start to contact anti-Qin people from all over the country and make preparations, but I will not respond immediately. Let's see how your Xiang family's situation is first. If your uncle can defeat the Qin army, capture Pengcheng, and capture the Qin people, then
I will raise the flag to respond and lead the entire Jingchu righteous people to fight against the Qin people. But if your uncle..."
Jingtong closed his eyes, and the palms on his knees trembled slightly.
He is the deputy general of Xiang Yan and his son, so he naturally has feelings for the Xiang family. If he were the only one, he and Jing Tong would not hesitate to go to the prime minister to fight alongside Xiang Liang.
But now, Jing Tong is the last general of Chu State.
On his shoulders, he also carries the trust of hundreds of righteous people who are aspiring to restore the country. This is the last force to revive the Chu Kingdom. Jing Tong must be calm.
"What you General Jingtong said makes sense, but our Xiang family is in danger, so I forgive Xiang Ji for not being able to stay here. Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Tuo, come with me!"
Xiang Ji looked at the other two young men of the Xiang family in the room, and there was a surge of blood in his body. He was going to go to Xiangxiang to follow his uncle to kill the Qin people and restore the Chu Kingdom!
"Lock them up first."
Jing Tong had regained his composure and ordered his personal guards to capture Xiang Ji.
Everyone knew that although Xiang Ji was young, he was brave and powerful. Most adults were no match for him, so more than a dozen big men pounced on him.
Xiang Ji roared angrily, even though he was born with supernatural powers, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy now, and he was suppressed in a short time.
Even the two young men Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Tuo were controlled without even saying a few words.
"Jingtong, you coward! I want..."
Xiang Ji roared angrily and was pushed down.
Jing Tong looked at this scene and sighed deeply.
He looked in the direction of the lower phase and whispered: "Xiang Liang, it's up to you."
…
North of Pengcheng, in a mountain forest near Peixian County.
Several figures are sitting on the ground, resting with each other.
"Zifang, I just went outside to inquire about the news. I heard that Xiang Liang raised his troops to rebel against Qin. He killed the magistrate and county captain of Xiaxiang and captured the county town of Xiaxiang. At this moment, he is calling on the righteous men of the Six Nations to expel Qin and restore the Six Kingdoms.
Woolen cloth!"
Gongsun Xin walked over from not far away, talking excitedly as he walked.
"Xiang Liang rebelled?"
Zhang Liang was stunned.
Since the assassination, a group of them, in order to prevent being captured by the Qin people, first pretended to run towards Xiao County in the west. After successfully leading the pursuers to the west, they took advantage of the situation and fled north to Peixian County, all the way through the mountains and forests.
It was only now that I decided to send someone out to explore the news and buy some daily necessities. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xin brought back this amazing news not long after he went out.
Gongsun couldn't help but admired: "I think that Xiang Liang must have been moved by our heroic feat of assassinating the emperor, so he took advantage of the situation to rise up! I said before that Xiang Liang was a fearless and unjust person, but I didn't expect it to be me.
I misjudged him, he turned out to be the first to openly oppose Qin, he is a true warrior, Xiang Liang has a sincere heart towards restoring our six kingdoms!"
Hearing this, Zhang Liang's serious face appeared in Zhang Liang's mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
With a sincere heart, I'm afraid Xiang Liang almost hates him now.
However, Xiang Liang's resolute rebellion against Qin was somewhat beyond Zhang Liang's expectations, and made him sensitively aware of this opportunity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as Xiang Liang, the first anti-Qin person, can win a few victories, it will inspire people and make anti-Qin people from all over the country rush to join in, making the anti-Qin people join in.
Qin's power continued to grow, and finally reached a situation where all six countries were in rebellion.
"It's better to risk bypassing Pengcheng and go south to join Xiang Liang. He may hate me, but at this juncture, opposing Qin is the most important thing, and he will never fall out with me. He will even use my name to assassinate Qin to attract people from all over the world.
A righteous man. When the time comes, I will assist him in defeating the Qin army. If so, the general trend against Qin will rise!"
Zhang Liang became a little excited when he thought of this, and considered turning around and heading south with everyone.
But before he made a decision, a sharp bone whistle suddenly sounded in the forest.
That was the warning whistle blown by the Xinji warriors who were standing guard nearby. When this sound sounded, it meant that the opponent had a large number of people, enough to pose a great threat to them.
"People from Qin are chasing us!"
Everyone was shocked.
Zhang Liang suddenly looked at Gongsun Xin.
Gongsun Xin also changed his expression and said: "I don't know. I was very taciturn along the way. I only got the information from those chivalrous-looking men bragging in restaurants. I didn't take the initiative to inquire about it."
Among the entire gang, only he and Gongsun Xin had the ability to go out. However, because Zhang Liang suffered some colds on the road and suffered from chest pain and cough, Gongsun Xin went out this time to inquire about news and purchase supplies. Unexpectedly, he brought them back as soon as he went out.
Chasing troops.
But it was too late to say anything now. Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go quickly! Get rid of these Qin pursuers first!"
Just when Zhang Liang and others heard the whistle and wanted to escape.
At the edge of the woods, the tomb of King Sima of Pei County, who was bringing dozens of county soldiers to this place, also heard this sharp whistle.
"Okay! We found the right place!"
Wang Ling laughed loudly and said to the county soldiers behind him: "Don't these assassins know that Nai Gong was once a hero in Peixian County? All the young knights here are my younger brothers. It's really a reward for leaking traces in my territory.
coming!"
"Chase me! I want to catch the assassin, get promoted and make a fortune!"
…
Looking down into the city.
Xiang Liang, fully clothed, stood on the county soldiers' training ground. In front of him were heads of people.
Standing at the front are two hundred descendants of the Xiang family, ranging in age from fifteen to fifty. They are almost all the young and strong men that the entire Xiang family can use. They are all wearing armor, holding halberds and spears, and are energetic.
He is the most energetic and has the highest morale in the entire army.
Behind the children of the Xiang family are three hundred child servants of the Xiang family. They come from various branches of the Xiang family. They are the most loyal to the Xiang family in the entire Xiangxiang City, and their weapons and equipment are second only to the Xiang family.
After that came all the men from each clan of the Prime Minister, and the Guizhou chiefs who were forcibly recruited from the city.
Compared with the high fighting spirit of the Xiang family's children and the loyalty of the Xiang family's child servants, the eyes of this young and strong man with more than 2,400 people were full of reluctance and a hint of deep fear.
Surrounding the square formation they formed, there were more than a hundred Xiang family disciples and servants who were separated and were carrying weapons to monitor them. Each of them had cold eyes, so that these young men did not dare to move and could only obey orders.
"General, our army has assembled a total of 3,126 men. They are all good men from Chu. They are willing to die for the general and fight against the Qin Dynasty together!"
Xiang Mao, wearing armor, walked up to Xiang Liang, saluted, and reported loudly.
It is said that when you go out to the army, you have a good name, and your words are true. After Xiang Liang raised his troops to rebel, he proclaimed himself a general and raised the banner of expelling the violent Qin and restoring Jingchu.
Xiang Liang nodded and looked at the three thousand soldiers in front of him.
"Second and Third Son, the Qin Dynasty destroyed our country of Jingchu and wreaked havoc on the world with cruel punishments and laws. This is a tyrannical and unjust master. Now there is a righteous man Zhang Liang in Pengcheng who kills the tyrant and an independent man to eliminate harm for our people in the world. Now Pengcheng is in chaos. The people of Qin have too much time to take care of themselves, so it is time for us to raise our flag and attack, defeat the Qin army, capture Pengcheng, and become famous all over the world!"
"The second and third sons should follow me, Xiang Liang, to drive out the violent Qin and restore Jingchu!"
When Xiang Liang's voice fell, the Xiang family's descendants standing at the front raised their arms and shouted.
"Drive out the violent Qin and restore Jingchu!"
The more than 2,400 people in the rear looked young and strong. Under the surveillance of the surrounding Xiang soldiers, they had no choice but to raise their arms and shout.
At one time, three thousand people chanted slogans, and the momentum was quite huge.
"With such three thousand sharp soldiers, why should we fear Zhao Guang's thousand men in the north of the city? The general will definitely win this battle."
Xiang Tang spoke excitedly, his heart surged by the bursts of shouts.
Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction. No matter what the three thousand people in front of him thought, but the number was here, the momentum was here, plus the weapons and swords they seized from the county arsenal, it still looked very shocking. .
In addition, Xiang Liang still has confidence for this battle.
"If Zhao Tuo led the army, I would be a little more afraid, but if the emperor is assassinated, Zhao Tuo will definitely preside over major events and mobilize the army in Pengcheng. It is impossible to come to the prime minister after the assassination is over."
"Now there is only Zhao Guang on the opposite side. Although this person has been following Zhao Tuo for many years and has some skills, he has been exposed to rumors, assassinations, and my Xiang family's righteous actions one after another. His mind must be shaken, and there will inevitably be omissions in commanding the battle. "
"The enemy general's instability is the opportunity for our army to win this battle."
"I, Xiang Liang, will become famous by stepping on Zhao Guang's corpse!"
At this moment, Xiang Liang felt confident as a general of the Xiang family.
