Chapter 209: One man raises his arm, and the world follows
Luo Yi and Luo Cai took their retainers to meet Chen She, who dared to be the first in the world. Then they learned that Chen She was proclaimed king with the support of everyone. He did not dare to call himself the King of Luo, so he took his clan name as the King of Chen. Then he and Wu Guang led a large army to the west to attack the tyrannical Qin.
"King Chen said that the people of the world could not endure the rule of the tyrannical Qin for even a day, and they also offered sacrifices to King Su. Everyone was so happy that they cried. I am really too old, otherwise I would definitely follow King Chen and destroy the tyrannical Qin."
The old man praised Chen She very much in his words. Under the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the people had endured too much. Those officials who were like tigers and wolves, and the punishments of destroying families and clans at will, made everyone exhausted. Now there was a man who said in a deafening way that we should destroy the unjust and punish the tyrannical Qin. Would there be anyone who would not follow him?
Luo Yi and Luo Cai had no intention of revealing their identities, so they left quietly.
When there was no one around, Luo Yi said with emotion: "Prince Chen, Prince Chen, I seem to hear thousands of people calling him, it's so beautiful.
This is why the family likes the new nobles. The feeling of everything competing and full of vitality, the feeling of thousands of people working together, trying hard and fighting hard, seeking a little life in the midst of death, is something you can't see in the old nobles. "
Luo Cai's eyes sparkled as he spoke, "The grace of a gentleman is cut off after five generations. Our ancestors always bravely took the lead, cutting through thorns and brambles, and making their way through numerous difficulties and dangers. But when it came to their descendants, they became dispirited and even humiliated their ancestors' heroic names, and even affected their original achievements. Their great achievements have become petty and mean."
As a recorder and witness of history, Luo had an almost complete understanding of the history of hundreds of vassal states in the Zhou Dynasty. From their birth to prosperity to their final demise, they all had almost the same experiences. They prospered when the previous generations of monarchs worked hard to govern the country, and they declined when the last generations of monarchs were foolish and incompetent.
Luo Yi laughed loudly and said, "It's time to go back. Chen She is the first to advocate righteousness. In addition to Luo State, the heroes of the six states in Shandong will surely rise up. The Luo family has waited for this day for too long."
So the group returned, and everywhere along the way were rebel armies that responded to Chen She's call, and many of them fought under the banner of the Luo family. There were not many real descendants of the top nobles of the six kingdoms, because they were basically dead after being tossed around by the First Emperor. Most of them were powerful people from the six kingdoms. Under the name of restoring their country, they found the descendants of the original royal families of the six kingdoms, and then gathered under the banner of Chen She to jointly attack the Qin Dynasty.
Wherever Chen She went, the people surrendered at the sight of him. The sturdy cities were opened without resistance, the county governors who wanted to resist were killed, and the county magistrates who dared to say a word would be exterminated. Endless anger was vented on these Qin Dynasty officials.
When the great roc soars up with the wind, it can reach up to 90,000 miles. Perhaps this is the only sentence that can describe the current Chen She.
Even Luo Yi and Luo Cai were shocked. This scene might have only appeared in Luo State before, but Luo State was a country with a thousand-year history.
Luo Cai sighed and said, "The most feared thing in this world is comparison. Although Chen She's way cannot be compared with the kingly way of the past, the Qin Dynasty was too tyrannical, so Chen She seems extremely precious."
This is the truth of the matter. Chen She was not a noble of the royal families of the six kingdoms. He did not have natural political appeal, nor did he have extraordinary reputation to gain the trust of the people of the world. His ability might not be that strong, and he was not a real king, but he gave hope to countless people, and hope is something more precious than gold, just like water in the desert.
…
In the Great Wall Corps, Fusu and Meng Tian also received the news of Chen Sheng's uprising. They were very shocked. They did not expect that the rebellion predicted by Meng Yun would happen so quickly. What hit Fusu the most was the speed at which the various places fell. He murmured, "How much do people in the world hate the Qin Dynasty? A group of prisoners and farmers who don't even have complete weapons, the big city actually surrendered without any resistance and submitted to the King of Chen."
Meng Tian looked at Meng Yun and saw that Meng Yun was looking at his nose, ears and heart. He didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked: "Meng Yun, you are a man of talent and wisdom, and you are also a close friend of the young master. You can't just sit there and do nothing. What should we do now?"
Meng Yun frowned and pondered, "We don't know the situation in Xianyang City right now, but the most important thing is to control the gateway to Guanzhong, such as Hangu Pass and Wugu Pass. As long as we control Guanzhong, the worst that can happen is that we can march east again and wipe out Shandong."
What Meng Yun meant was that Prince Fusu and Meng Tian should use the soldiers of the Great Wall Corps to fight against Hu Hai in Xianyang City, but Fusu thought that they could not do that. After all, he was a prince of the Qin Dynasty. Starting a civil war now would only make the situation in the Qin Dynasty worse.
Now we should unite with Hu Hai. If Fusu recognizes Hu Hai as the emperor of Qin, the two may be able to unite and thus put down the rebellions in the world.
Hearing Fusu's idea, Meng Tian agreed and said, "The people who rebelled in Shandong were all prisoners and farmers before. Even if they got some weapons and armor from the counties, they are vulnerable to the real elite of the Qin army like the Great Wall Legion.
Moreover, at least 200,000 to 300,000 military-trained troops can be mobilized in Xianyang City. If the troops stationed in the south can be transferred back, the Qin Dynasty will have a million troops at its disposal, which is definitely not something those people in Shandong can resist.
In the past, they were defeated by the Qin army. Now the Qin is invincible. These people may not even be as good as the nobles of the six countries in the past. Can they resist the iron hoof of the Qin?"
Meng Tian sounded very confident, for he knew only too well how powerful the Great Wall Corps was. However, the Huns were more than 700 miles away and did not even dare to approach the Qin border. This was the Great Wall Corps!
Meng Yun sighed softly, "Sir, don't you know what you are thinking of?
But the key to choosing allies lies in people, not power. Hu Hai's power is worthy of your cooperation, but Hu Hai himself is not worthy. You want to go with Hu Hai, but based on the fact that Hu Hai sent people to kill you before, he will soon make new moves against you, and you will know how naive your ideas are.
The war between you and Hu Hai is inevitable. All your hesitation now will turn into a sharp sword in the future and make you pay a heavy price. This is my advice to you. "
Fusu and Meng Tian both trusted Meng Yun's talents. What he had predicted before was not wrong, so now the two of them could not accept this outcome, and Meng Yun's words soon came true.
Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were worried that Fusu's reputation was too high and that the nobles in Xianyang city would become his accomplices, so they slaughtered the clan members on a large scale. Many brothers and sisters were killed, as well as those prestigious relatives who were close to Fusu.
Li Si naturally disagreed with this matter, and was directly imprisoned by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai. He could not even protect himself, so Zhao Gao would certainly not let him go.
When the tragic news from Xianyang City reached the Great Wall Corps, Fusu fell to the ground in despair and cried bitterly, "I regret not listening to Meng Yunzi. If I had known this would happen, I should have rushed to Xianyang, killed Hu Hai, and seized the throne."
Meng Tian was furious. He had relatives and friends in Xianyang City, and no one knew how many of them had died at the hands of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.
Meng Yun looked at the scene coldly, raised his head to look at the sky, trying to find the new king. Could it be Chen Sheng, the first person to initiate righteousness?
Have a good rest and go to sleep
