Wu Rui is a very intelligent and strategic person. He did not directly enter Chen County first. Of course, there is a reason for this.
First of all, as the surviving son of the Wei State, Zhang Er and Chen Yu have already established the Wei State in Chen County. He does not want to compete with these two people for food, so that he will not be able to gain a foothold in the interests of justice.
Secondly, Chen County is close to the Nanyang counties. Whether the Qin Dynasty sends troops from Wuguan Pass or Hangu Pass to suppress the rebellion, Chen County must bear the brunt. With Zhang Er and Chen Yu standing in front of them, they can give Wu a
Rui brings more time for development.
Thirdly, Wu Rui has been operating in the land of Baiyue for a long time and has extensive contacts. The reason why the barbarians flocked to join him was not only because Wu Rui was well-known and respected by the people of Baiyue, but most importantly, they hoped that Wu Rui could
Rescue more barbarians. At the same time, the Baiyue barbarians are not used to the dry climate of the Central Plains.
This also requires Wu Rui to go south instead of north.
Yingbu, with his army of barbarians who were born soldiers, quickly occupied two or three counties near Poyang County. At the same time, Wu Rui also sent fast horses to Zhang, Hengshan, Jiujiang, Donghai, Lushan, Kuaiji and other counties.
Urgent letter.
There are only a few words in the letter, and the core meaning is that the Wei Kingdom in Chen County has been restored. Now that you have raised troops to rebel against Qin, you can either follow me in the rebellion, and everyone will still have a good life in the future. If you don't rebel, then you will lead the troops to fight, then
You're about to die.
Today, the governor of Kuaiji County just received a letter sent by Wu Rui, so he hurriedly came to Xiang Liang to discuss it.
In fact, you can tell from the fact that the governor of Kuaiji knew that Xiang Liang was the son of the old Chu Xiang Yan and did not report it. He has no loyalty to Da Qin at all. Everything he did was just for the sake of his own wealth.
"Now that Wu Rui has rebelled, the land north of the Yangtze River has fallen into chaos, and the Wei Kingdom has been restored. This is the time when God will destroy Qin. When there is such a chaos, first move to control others, and second move will be controlled by others. For this reason, I want to
Raising troops to fight against the Qin Dynasty, I want to invite Duke Xiang and Huan Chu as generals. Duke Xiang will definitely be able to help us in this great campaign!" the county guard said at the end.
Xiang Liang's eyes flashed when he heard that Wu Rui had also launched an army against Qin. It was obvious that this news that he didn't know touched him greatly, but the governor who was already extremely excited did not notice Xiang Liang's actions at this moment.
look.
"Huan Chu is known as a famous figure in Jiangdong, and he is actually the right-hand man of the Duke. However, Huan Chu fled to the rivers and lakes due to murder, does the Duke have any information about his whereabouts?" Xiang Liang asked with a flash of his eyes.
The county guard shook his head after hearing this and said he didn't know either.
Xiang Liang thought for a moment and said as if he had just remembered: "My nephew Xiang Yu has always been on good terms with Huan Chu. He may know where Huan Chu is." The county guard said in surprise, "Is Xiang Yu here? Go and ask, sir."
Xiang Liang said: "The junior student has never been to Kuaiji City, so I took him to have a long experience. He was waiting in the corridor outside. I went to ask."
Xiang Liang went out and came back after a while: "Xiang Yu knows. I didn't ask about the hiding place. You can ask me personally." The county guard nodded and immediately loudly ordered the elders outside the door to greet Xiang Yu in.
"Xiang Yu meets the Governor!"
"Good! Such a mighty man must be a general!" The county governor praised him and then asked, "Xiang Yu, you are on good terms with Huan Chu. Can you tell where he is? I sent someone to find him. It's a big deal.
…”
"Let's do it!"
Xiang Liang, who was next to him, suddenly interrupted coldly.
In an instant, Xiang Yu, who had bowed his hands and bowed his head, suddenly shouted loudly, unsheathed his long sword and stabbed him suddenly. Before the county guard could make a sound, Xiang Yu lifted his sword into the air, and the long sword pierced his chest, killing Xiang Yu immediately.
He threw the body to the ground and with a swing of his sword, he picked up the head of the county guard in his hand.
When Xiang Liang saw that the governor was dead, he stood up suddenly. He took off the seal box and ribbon from the governor's waist and hung it neatly on his body. He said loudly to Xiang Yu: "Give me the head. You can clear the way. If there is any obstruction, be sure to kill the officers and soldiers."
!”
As soon as the two of them walked out of the study, they heard shouting and shouting in the courtyard. It was obvious that the family elders had summoned the soldiers and officials from the Fuzhong County and were rushing over.
Xiang Yu has been fond of fighting since he was a child but has never been able to put his skills to the test. Today, he was extremely excited after receiving the order from his uncle. He roared as loud as thunder, picked up the bronze bookcase in the hall and rolled it out like a hurricane.
This bronze bookcase is no different from ordinary weapons. It is made of three large thick copper plates and is cast into one piece. It is long, large and heavy. Ordinary people may not be able to move it even if it is lifted by two or three people. But now in Xiang Yu's hands, it is like a wooden board.
Light and fluttering.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew had just rushed to the corridor when they saw a group of soldiers with spears swarming towards them. Xiang Yu suddenly shouted and danced with a large bronze case and swept across the front, with a momentum that was overwhelming.
The large group of county soldiers who had just rushed over were knocked away by the bronze case the size of a door panel before they could react. Xiang Yu held the large bronze case the size of a door panel and just slapped it away. After a while, dozens of county soldiers who rushed in were already black.
Huhu was lying in a courtyard covered in blood and flesh.
None of the county officials who rushed in later expected that in just a few moments, dozens of soldiers wearing hard-wearing armor would be knocked down to the ground by Xiang Yu like a strong wind sweeping down leaves. They were all horrified.
Seeing Xiang Yu rushing towards him again, covered in blood like a bull, he immediately fell to his knees in the courtyard.
Xiang Liang had just left the hall at this time. Several county officials and county magistrates who had contacted him in advance had already rushed in with a group of people. When they saw Xiang Liang, they immediately shouted in unison: "Support Duke Xiang in taking action!"
Xiang Liang held the official seal in his left hand and a human head in his right hand. He raised it high and shouted: "Restore Chu! Kill officials and rebel against Qin!"
"Restore Chu! Kill officials and rebel against Qin!" There was a echo in the county governor's mansion.
Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew couldn't help but look at each other and laughed loudly at the same time when they saw that something big had happened.
At night, after receiving Xiang Yu's order, thousands of Jiangdong's disciples who had been hiding on the island for some time arrived. A large firepower and various weapons surged on the carriage field in front of the governor's house.
Xiang Liang stood on a high platform and announced his rebellion against Qin, and made an army deployment on the spot: with the thousands of soldiers from Jiangdong as the core, several heroes from Wuzhong as the captains and generals, Xiang Yu as the deputy general, and Xiang Yu as the deputy general.
Liang appointed himself a general and formed a Chu army.
The officials and soldiers who accompanied the uprising unanimously supported Xiang Liang as the governor of Kuaiji County. They first made clear their banner to seize the large county of Jiangdong. Xiang Liang readily accepted it and immediately took up the banner of the governor of Kuaiji County.
At the same time, Xiang Liang sent reconnaissance cavalry to search for the descendants of the King of Chu, with the intention of re-establishing the Chu State and making the rebellion against Qin more justified.
Xiang Liang was very resourceful and knew that a hastily formed army was vulnerable, so he severely reprimanded Xiang Yu and others for rushing west across the river to capture Jiangxi counties.
