Chen Pan was ordered to advance eastward to Tan County to assemble various rebel troops, and then return to Chen County to rescue Zhang Han from the south. Because of this, Chen Pan had to leave Chen County, lead more than 10,000 troops and horses to advance eastward, turn from Sishui County into Donghai County, and follow the straight road built by the First Emperor and head straight to Tan County.

But the journey was long and Chen Pan had no intention of returning to help, so he walked slowly along the way and was always inquiring about the news about Chen County. In the past few days, there was indeed a news sent back.

Because Cai Ci's defeat, Chen Sheng personally sent troops to reinforce Zhang He, trying to alleviate the crisis of Chen County, but on the way, he got news of Zhang He's defeat. Jia Fu also took the opportunity to kill Chen Sheng, defraud Chen County, and surrendered to Zhang Han. However, Jia Fu was killed by Lu Chen who was driven back to Chen County. At this time, Lu Chen had already proclaimed himself King of Zhang Chu and ordered Chen County, but Zhang Han suddenly turned to Nanyang County. It is said that Song Liu had already captured Wan County and went straight to Wu Pass to kill. If Song Liu could break Wu Pass, Guanzhong would be in chaos again.

At this time, Chen Pan was a little in a dilemma. Chen Sheng was already dead, so he became a homeless stray dog ​​and had to drift around. Chen Pan was hesitant about where to go.

At this time, his army was less than 500 miles away from Tan County, and it would be possible to arrive in two days. Arriving at Tan County would be meaningless. After all, Chen Sheng was no longer there, and there was no need for him to gather the rebels near Tan County.

But Chen Pan also has his own ambitions, and he is also considering building his own country, or finding a hegemon who can truly dominate Shandong, follow him and do something big.

Therefore, the revenge of the rebel army in Tan County may be used as a capital to start oneself or a stepping stone to rely on others.

While Chen Pan was rushing, the scouts rushed over, stopped in front of Chen Pan's horse, and bowed and said, "General, there is news in Tan County."

Chen Pan's eyes lit up. He slowed down his itinerary these days just to wait for news from Tan County. At this time, the scout returned. Chen Pan hurriedly said, "Let's talk, what's going on in Tan County?"

"It is said that the rebel army besieged Tan County was composed of five groups of soldiers. They were all heroes in Donghai County. Each of them gathered about a thousand people to form a coalition force, and Qin Jia was the leader." After the scout said that, he saw Chen Pan lowering his head and thinking, so he had to bow his hand and turn his horse and leave.

At this time, Chen Pan looked at the slowly moving army behind him. If he could win over them as an envoy, perhaps they would be willing to surrender to him, fearing the power of Zhang Chu State.

Although Zhang Chu State was already dead in name only at this time, Chen Pan believed that Shandong was remote and they might not know the news of Chen Sheng's defeat. Thinking of this, Chen Pan turned around and ordered a deputy general: "Go and prepare some gifts, I want to meet this rebel leader."

......

At this time, Qin Jiagao sat on the camp of the rebel army. He was originally from Ling County. Qin Jia, who had risen to the side because of the Chen Sheng uprising, was unwilling to fall into depravity for the rest of his life. He joined forces with Dong Zhang, a native of Ji County, Zhu Jishi, a native of Fuli, Zheng Bu, and Ding Ji, a native of Xu County, and other four groups of troops rose to Donghai County to fight against the Qin army.

They successively pacified Lanling, Xiangben and other counties, and then led their troops to advance and besieged the county magistrate Qing in Tan County. The two sides fought for a year, but the number of rebel soldiers was insufficient, the weapons were worn out, and the combat effectiveness was low, and they could not conquer Tan County. However, the garrison of Tan County could not wipe out Qin Jia's rebel army. In this way, the two fought.

On this day, Qin Jia summoned the other five people to discuss countermeasures, but Tan County is the capital of Donghai County. There are many troops here, and the city defense is strong. There are also the Shujian Army who came from the west not long ago. I heard that this line of troops was a unit under Zhang Han's command, and was also trapped in the city at this time. If you want to conquer it in a short time, it is indeed an impossible thing. Because of this, many people advocated fighting in Sishui County or advancing to the rest of Donghai County. Finally, when the rebel army grows, it is not too late to return to conquer Tan County.

But this proposal was rejected by Qin Jia. After a year of hard battle, Tan County gradually lost its support and the city defense army was declining day by day. How could it be easy to give up?

Just as everyone was talking about this, a report soldier walked in quickly and bowed: "All the generals, there was a team of people outside the camp asking for a meeting. The leader claimed to be the general Chen Pan under King Chen Sheng. He was ordered to sit in Donghai County and wanted to pay homage to General Qin Jia."

After hearing this, Qin Jia was a little surprised, "Who is Chen Pan?"

Just as Qin Jia was secretly thinking about Chen Pan's purpose for this trip, Gongsun Qing, who had always remained silent, said in a deep voice: "General, what does Chen Pan mean?"

Gongsun Qing was Qin Jia's aide. At this time, his doubts were also his own doubts. Qin Jia thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "Could it be that Chen Pan came to attack Tan County?"

Gongsun Qing nodded. He had guessed Chen Pan's purpose. At this time, Qin Jia said some of it. Gongsun Qing bowed and said, "Attacking Tan County is probably only one. I think he has another purpose."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Qin Jia was intrigued and stood up and walked in the tent. At this time, Gongsun Qing smiled and said, "As far as I know, Chen Sheng has been defeated in Chen County, but Chen Pan bullied us far away. The news was blocked. He thought we didn't know the news of Chen Sheng's defeat. Therefore, he came under the name of Chen Sheng. If the general was led by him, then in the next step, he would inevitably take over all the soldiers under the general's command, and then..."

Gongsun Qing made a gesture of cutting his neck, and Qin Jia couldn't help but have a cold war and said hatefully: "Since that's the case, I will refuse him now!"

"Otherwise, how can the general easily dispel the fat that was sent to his mouth?" Gongsun Qing looked at Qin Jia quietly and said for a while: "Cooperation is certain, but we might as well cooperate individually. While he was unprepared to enter the camp, we secretly lie down the sword and axe driver, kill this person, and then recruit his army, and Tan County can be defeated!"

Speaking of this, Qin Jia nodded in agreement, and the rest of the tent also stood up to praise him. This plan was very wonderful. Soon, everyone's laughter came from the tent.

......

Outside the tent, Chen Pan brought twenty followers with him. They had been waiting for a long time. They each held their horses and wandered anxiously. At this time, Chen Pan was a little angry. Does the rebel army, which less than 10,000 people, dare to be like this and let him wait outside?

But Chen Pan knew in his heart that after all, he was here to win over them, and it was not easy to turn against each other for the time being, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and continue to wait.

Soon after, a soldier rushed out and bowed and said, "My general is welcome, please follow me."

"Is this how your general is hospitalizing guests? Why don't you come out to greet me?" Chen Pan was a little unhappy, and the soldiers immediately replied: "There are many days of attack on Tan County, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. My general is dealing with the wounded soldiers. Please forgive me."

Seeing that the other party was really busy, Chen Pan couldn't do anything too much, so he had to snort coldly and walk into the camp, but the soldiers guarding the camp on both sides waved their long spears and blocked the way. An officer said aloud: "General Chen, my general has an order, only you are allowed to enter the camp, and the rest are not allowed to enter!"

"You..." Chen Pan was angry again. He pointed at the officer, "You" for a long time, but couldn't say anything. After all, he was in other people's territory. In the end, Chen Pan had to snort coldly and walked inward. Everything needed to be patient at this time, but Chen Pan had already decided in his heart that one day, he would definitely let Qin Jia return it twice.

Under the leadership of a soldier, he walked through several camps and came to a large tent. There were more than twenty burly soldiers guarding outside the tent. Chen Pan felt that the momentum was wrong, but he could not guess what was wrong. At this time, the soldier who had just led the way shouted outside the tent: "General, bring him here."

A dull call came from the tent: "Take him in."

Seeing that the other party had arrived here, Chen Pan refused to come to greet him. He had to tidy up his clothes, hold his head up, and walk into the tent. In the tent, six or seven generals sat high on both sides. Behind him, dozens of soldiers stood proudly with big halberds in their hands, but Chen Pan was not afraid at all. He still regarded himself as a messenger of the Celestial Empire and walked forward with great strides.

As soon as Qin Jia was approaching, Chen Pan bowed and smiled, "General Qin, what a big score."

Qin Jia ignored Chen Pan's reproach, looked at him coldly for a while, and smiled and said, "I don't know what General Chen is coming?"

Qin Jia's cold and arrogant attitude completely angered Chen Pan. He pointed at Qin Jia and said hatefully: "You... don't be rude. I'm here to see you to give you a chance. Otherwise, I will annoy me and go back to report to my king and destroy your three tribes!"

Chen Pan's tough stance not only did not scare Qin Jia, but instead attracted his disdain and sneer. Then, Qin Jia pointed at Chen Pan angrily and scolded loudly: "King Chen Sheng has already defeated Chen County. At this time, Zhang Chu State has been taken over by Lu Chen. Don't miss me here!"

After saying that, Qin Jia slowly stood up, walked a few steps in the tent, came to Chen Pan, looked at him, and sneered: "King Chen Sheng can't restrain me, can I be bound by you alone?"

Seeing that the other party had already known the news of Chen Sheng's death, and he had no intention of fearing himself at all, Chen Pan felt something was wrong in his heart. He immediately changed his tone and smiled politely: "I was wrong just now. Please don't blame the general. This time I came here to join forces with the army to attack the Qin army and promote Donghai County, you see...?"

Chen Pan cast an anticipated look at Qin Jia, but Qin Jia refused coldly: "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity!"

This time, Chen Pan vaguely felt Qin Jia's murderous intent. He couldn't help but take two steps back and hesitated: "You...what do you mean?"

"What does it mean?" Qin Jia said as he walked forward, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand tightly, looking at Chen Pan coldly. After a while, Chen Pan's head was already different from his body and head.

Qin Jia looked at Chen Pan's body coldly and snorted coldly: "Work with a rat like you? Don't think about it!"

Several soldiers came over, flipped Chen Pan's body, took out a token, and handed it to Qin Jia, and then carried Chen Pan's body away. At this time, Qin Jia carefully looked at the token, turned around and handed it to Zhu Jishi, and sneered: "You are holding this token and pretending that Chen Pan is drinking in my camp, letting them gather troops to obey the orders of the latter. You should understand what to do afterwards..."

Qin Jia's eyes were far-reaching, Zhu Jishi nodded and left quickly.
