Since Chen Sheng's uprising, various places have stepped up their guard, people are uneasy, and various potential forces are also ready to take action. At this time, Kuaiji County is also in turmoil. Five hundred soldiers patrol the streets in the city day and night.

Thousands of soldiers were also deployed to garrison the city to prevent any force from taking the opportunity to attack Wuxian County.

Zhou Lan got up very early that morning. Worried that the nearby bandits would take advantage of Chen Sheng's uprising and forcibly attack Wu County, Zhou Lan, accompanied by two government soldiers, headed for the south gate.

At this time, he was extremely upset. Perhaps it was because he learned that Chen Sheng had proclaimed himself king in Chen County. This gave Zhou Lan a faint sense of fear. It may also be that Yin Tong did not pay enough attention to the rise of the rebels. In this situation

At a time when the country was in turmoil, Kuaiji County should immediately recruit troops to deal with the chaos that might arise at any time, but until this moment, Yin Tong did not take any action.

In this way, Zhou Lan walked through several markets and finally woke up from his deep thoughts. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. He had taken his thoughts too far. At this time, there were only a few people on the street, and only some street cleaners were busy.

Looking around the street, which was as calm as usual, Zhou Lan thought that maybe he was worrying too much. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his horse and wanted to rush to the tower as soon as possible. However, at this moment, two people were driving across the street.

When the horses came, one of them was Lu Liang, and beside him was Lu Yu, the overlord who raised the cauldron that day and became famous all over Wu County.

Zhou Lan walked some distance and met the two of them head-on. Zhou Lan couldn't help but cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Liang Gong, Lu Yu, where are you going?"

Xiang Liang responded with a smile on his horse and said, "The county governor asked me to go to the government office to discuss some matters. What is the important matter for the county captain to get up so early?"

Zhou Lan waved her hand and said with a smile: "Recently, Changque, Chen County, and Sishui County have been lost to the bandits. I have to be cautious and go to check the city defenses myself!"

"This is an urgent matter. Lord Lieutenant, please go and get busy. We have to rush to the Sheriff's Mansion. If we are late, Lord Sheriff will be angry." Xiang Liang cupped his hands and smiled. Xiang Yu also clasped his fists and asked Zhou Lan.

After saying goodbye, Zhou Lan saw that the two of them had something important to do, so she had to return the favor and said, "Okay, please excuse me."

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Zhou Lan hurried towards the south gate. In about half an hour, Zhou Lan arrived at the south gate. At this time, the soldiers on the city tower were patrolling back and forth, with long swords and swords filled with murderous intent and flags fluttering. Zhou Lan

After reading it, I couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

On the side of the city gate is the temporary station of the imperial soldiers. Zhou Lan was going to take a look, and then went up to the city tower. He turned his horse's head and headed towards the military camp. But at this moment, an arrow whistled towards him.

The slight sound of wind echoed in Zhou Lan's ears. He instinctively jumped off the horse, rolled around, and then got up. But just now, the war horse he was riding had roared and fell to the ground dead. An iron arrow had penetrated the horse's chest.

head.

Zhou Lan was horrified and looked around. Suddenly, an army came galloping in the street. They were wearing red Chu army uniforms. They quickly rushed to Zhou Lan and surrounded Zhou Lan. Before waiting for the palace on the tower,

The soldiers responded. Xiang Zhuang rode his horse to Zhou Lan. He waved his hand forward and shouted: "Take it!"

Zhou Lan still wanted to resist, but more than thirty military crossbows were aimed at him. He had to raise his hands. At this time, there was an uproar on the tower. Xiang Zhuang took a few steps forward on his horse and shouted: "Resisters,

Kill without mercy!"

Seeing that Zhou Lan was arrested, the soldiers of the government had no intention of fighting and threw down their weapons. At this time, Xiang Zhuang ordered: "Xiang You, you are in charge of the city gate and guard these soldiers!"

Xiang You nodded, and Xiang Zhuang immediately turned his horse's head, leading more than 500 people, and galloped towards the governor's mansion.

...

In the governor's mansion, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were led by a soldier to the back office. At this time, Yin Tong had just gotten up and was washing up. The two were waiting in the front hall. Soon, a soldier brought two

He put a cup of tea in front of the two of them and said softly: "The Sheriff is washing up, you two will be later."

The two nodded and the soldiers left. At this time, Xiang Liang looked at Xiang Yu and ordered: "For a moment, don't be soft-hearted, you must be clean and tidy, otherwise, you and I will both be in trouble!"

Xiang Yu nodded. At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the hall. Soon, Yin Tong walked in quickly, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. I have just arrived." Xiang Liang stood up and returned the greeting. Xiang Yu held his hands beside him and said, "Lu Yu, meet your Majesty the Sheriff!"

Yin Tong nodded with satisfaction, walked to his seat and sat down. A soldier brought him a cup of tea. Seeing that the two of them were still standing, Yin Tong couldn't help but smile and said: "Sit, sit, you're welcome."

The two nodded and sat down respectively. At this time, Yin Tong picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He felt no sleepiness at all and felt refreshed. Then he smiled and asked: "Lu Yu, I listen to Liang."

The Duke said, you and Huan Chu are acquainted, are you willing to go to me and persuade Huan Chu to surrender?"

"I am willing to serve the Sheriff, but I don't know what the Sheriff's plans are?" Xiang Yu stood up, came to Yin Tong, and saluted him.

"My officer..." Yin Tong only said two words. Suddenly, white light flashed and blood splashed everywhere. Xiang Yu had already waved his sword in his hand and cut off Yin Tong's head. He didn't even have time to scream.

The soul returns to heaven.

Xiang Liang also stood up and walked over, grabbed the head, and praised: "What a sharp swordsmanship!"

The two of them walked quickly to the outside of the mansion. As soon as they reached the door, a surprised shout suddenly rang out: "Someone has assassinated the Sheriff! Catch the assassin quickly!"

What followed was a dense rain of arrows. With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiang Yu grabbed the door and pushed it forward. The arrows clinked shut on the door. At this time, Xiang Liang drew out his iron sword and fought with

Together with Xiang Yu, they rushed out. Xiang Yu charged forward with an iron sword, and no one could stop him.

A soldier came to chop with his sword. Xiang Yu held his iron sword horizontally, but cut the bronze sword in half. When the soldiers were surprised, Xiang Yu grabbed him and threw him away. At this time, the second round of feather arrows came.

When the shot came, Xiang Yu had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed his uncle and retreated together, hiding behind the rockery.

The arrows were still swarming in, Xiang Yu raised Yin Tong's head and shouted: "Yin Tong is dead, why didn't you surrender earlier?"

But no one paid attention to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was furious, and the beast hidden in his heart was unleashed. He roared from the side of the rockery, separated the arrows with his sword, and rushed forward, killing more than ten people one by one with each sword.

, the soldiers began to be afraid, and some had dropped their weapons and fled.

Taking advantage of the enemy's morale collapse, Xiang Yu continued to fight forward. Xiang Liang responded from the side. The two of them took one step, stopped one step, and fought outward.

At this time, there was also the sound of weapons clashing outside the mansion. Xiang Zhuang led five hundred dead soldiers to surround the governor's mansion. Soon, the soldiers threw down their weapons and began to surrender. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu saw that there was no one to stop them, so they quickly

Stepping out of the house, Xiang Liang raised his head high and shouted loudly: "The Qin Dynasty is ruthless, ruining lives, killing innocent people, and imposing heavy taxes. Today, I, Xiang Liang, will uphold the will of my ancestors and revive the Kingdom of Chu.

As Chu people, why don’t we join the army together to restore Chu and show our army’s might?”

In an instant, everyone was infected, waving their hands and shouting: "Recover the great Chu! Recover the great Chu!"

On the street, some onlookers were also extremely excited, raising their arms and shouting: "Recover the great Chu...!"

Xiang Liang launched an uprising in Wu County, killing county guards and officials. The people supported him one after another, and the soldiers surrendered. At this time, Wu County was completely controlled by Xiang Liang, but the situation was unstable. Xiang Liang ordered Xiang You to lead a thousand soldiers to patrol.

The city defense and every street are under strict control.

At this time, the county governor's mansion had been changed into the Chu military mansion. Xiang Liang summoned the three elders of Wu County and local powerful men to gather in the front hall of the county government to discuss the great cause of restoring Chu. Huan Chu and Long Qie, who had just arrived, also garrisoned troops.

In the city, attended this meeting.

One hundred soldiers wearing red Chu army uniforms were standing on both sides holding long swords. In the center of the hall, Xiang Liang was sitting high, with Xiang Yu and Xiang Zhuang behind him. Below, Xiang Bo, Huan Chu, Long Qie, etc. were sitting in sequence.

After taking a seat, ten Chu soldiers escorted Zhou Lan in slowly.

Zhou Lan had his hands tied behind his back and moved clumsily, but he still nodded to Xiang Liang and asked in surprise: "Why did Mr. Liang suddenly rebel?"

Xiang Liang couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "I am a famous general of the Chu State. My surname is Xiang and my given name is Liang. I am going to do something today. I have an arrow on the string and I have to do it. Lieutenant Zhou, are you willing to surrender?"

"How about surrendering? So what if you don't surrender?" Zhou Lan asked with her head raised. At this moment, Xiang Yu suddenly drew out his iron sword and wanted to step forward, but was pulled back by Xiang Zhuang. Xiang Liang, who was sitting high, sneered: "

The Qin State is in name only and will be defeated soon, but I, Xiang Liang, uphold the Chu will and dare not be lazy. If you are willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, you can still leave your name in history. If you persist in your stubbornness, you will be no different from a bandit. I will sacrifice your head to him.

, to comfort the three armies and mobilize the troops!"

Zhou Lan lowered his head and said nothing. What Xiang Liang said was not unreasonable. Qin's harsh rule has long lost people's hearts. It is not worth it to be loyal to Qin. While Zhou Lan was meditating, Yu Ziqi walked over.

He sighed softly: "My lord, please surrender! Bao Qin is not worthy of your loyalty!"

After a brief moment of reflection, Zhou Lan knelt down on one knee and said helplessly: "Since God's will is this, I, Zhou Lan, am willing to surrender!"

"Okay! Come here, untie me!" Xiang Liang was overjoyed. Several Chu soldiers immediately stepped forward and untied Zhou Lan. Zhou Lan bowed deeply again: "Thank you, General Xiang Liang, for not killing me!"

After hearing this, Xiang Liang raised his head and laughed, "General Xiang Liang". He liked this name very much. At this time, everyone in the room stood up and handed over their hands: "We are willing to support General Xiang Liang, and we are willing to support the Chu army. We hope that the Chu army will

Let’s win the battle and show off our majestic power!”

The next day, the Chu army raised five thatched cottages in Wu County. Each thatched cottage was guarded by thirty Chu soldiers. Three civilian officials sat at the table. There was a long queue in front of each table. This is

The young men who came to join the army wanted to join the Chu army and establish the foundation of the Chu country.

In about five days, the Chu army pulled up its own team, recruiting about 8,000 people, known as the 8,000 sons. They put on the Chu army's red war robes and cloth armor, majestic, and stood in the Wuxian city tower.

Above, the red Chu flag fluttered in the wind, the city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound, and the war drums on the city tower slowly beat, which was a precursor to the Chu army's expedition.

On the city tower, all the generals gathered together. Xiang Liang was wearing a purple cloak and stood by the wall. Looking at the army slowly marching out below, Xiang Liang laughed and said: "Send the order, order Xiang Zhuang to be the vanguard and lead the army."

A thousand Chu troops opened the way, and Xiang Yu, the commander-in-chief, led three thousand Chu troops to follow and march towards the county seat south of Kuaiji!"

"Here!" All the generals handed over their hands one after another. On the city tower, the sound of war drums became louder and louder, like thunder in the sky. But here, Xiang Zhuang had already picked up his spear, slung his bow, and headed out of the city with more than a hundred people accompanying him.
