Chen Pan was once ordered to march eastward, go to Tan County to gather various rebels, and then return to support Chen County to relieve Zhang Han's danger of going south. Because of this, Chen Pan had to leave Chen County and lead more than 10,000 troops all the way eastward.
Heading forward, we diverted from Sishui County to Donghai County, followed the straight road built by the First Emperor, and headed straight to Tan County.
But the journey was long, and Chen Pan had no intention of returning for help. Therefore, he walked slowly along, always inquiring about news about Chen County. In the past few days, news had indeed been sent back.
Because of Cai Ci's defeat, Chen Sheng personally sent troops to reinforce Zhang He, hoping to alleviate Chen County's crisis. However, on the way, he received news of Zhang He's defeat. Jia Fu also took the opportunity to kill Chen Sheng, defraud Chen County, and surrender to Zhang Han, but then
, Jia Fu was executed by Lu Chen who was driven back to Chen County. At this time, Lu Chen had proclaimed himself King of Zhang Chu and ordered Chen County. However, Zhang Han suddenly diverted to Nanyang County. It is said that Song Liu had already conquered Wan County.
, went straight to Wuguan to kill. If Song Liu could break Wuguan, there would be chaos in Guanzhong again.
At this time, Chen Pan was in a dilemma. Chen Sheng was dead, and he became a homeless stray dog. He had to wander around. Chen Pan was hesitant about where to go.
At this time, his army is less than 500 miles away from Tan County. It will arrive in two days, and arriving at Tan County will be meaningless. After all, Chen Sheng is no longer there, and there is no need for him to recruit Tan County.
There were rebels near the county.
But Chen Pan also has his own ambitions. He is also considering building a country of his own, or finding an overlord who can truly dominate Shandong, following him and doing great things.
Therefore, the rebels who regained Tan County may be used as capital to start their own business or as a stepping stone to join others.
When Chen Pan was on his way, a scout came galloping over, stopped in front of Chen Pan's horse, cupped his hands and said, "General, there is news from Tan County."
Chen Pan's eyes lit up. He had slowed down his travels in the past few days just to wait for news from Tan County. At this time, the scout returned, and Chen Pan said anxiously: "Tell me, what's the situation in Tan County?"
"It is said that the rebel army that besieged Tan County was composed of five groups of soldiers. They were all heroes from Donghai County. Each of them gathered about a thousand people to form a coalition. Qin Jia was the leader." After the scout finished speaking, he met Chen.
Pan was bowing his head in thought, so he had to cup his hands, turn his horse's head and leave.
At this time, Chen Pan looked at the slowly marching army behind him. If he could win them over as an envoy, perhaps they would be willing to surrender to him because they were afraid of Zhang Chu's power.
Although the Zhang Chu Kingdom was in name only at this time, Chen Pan believed that Shandong was so remote that they might not be able to know the news of Chen Sheng's defeat and death. Thinking of this, Chen Pan turned around and ordered to an assistant general: "Go and prepare some gifts. I'm going to
Meet this rebel leader."
...
At this time, in the rebel camp, Qin Jia was sitting high. He was originally from Lingxian County. He had risen to prominence due to Chen Sheng's uprising. Qin Jia, who was unwilling to fall into decline all his life, united with Dong Jie from Zhixian County and Zhujishi from Fuli County to win the battle.
Zheng Bu from Lu, Ding Ji from Xu County and other four groups of troops rose up in Donghai County to fight against the Qin army.
They successively annihilated Lanling, Xiangben and other counties, and then sent troops to advance and besieged the governor Qing in Tan County. The two sides fought fiercely for a year, but the rebels were insufficient in number, their weapons were worn out, and their combat effectiveness was low, so they were unable to capture Tan County.
, but the garrison in Tan County was unable to wipe out Qin Jia's rebel army, so the two sides quarreled.
On this day, Qin Jia summoned the remaining five people to discuss countermeasures, but Tan County is the seat of Donghai County. There are many troops stationed here, the city defense is strong, and there are Shejian troops who came from the west not long ago. I heard that,
This group of soldiers and horses are under Zhang Han's command. They are also trapped in the city at this time. If they want to conquer it in a short time, it is indeed an impossible task. Because of this, many people advocate moving to Sishui County at this time.
Or they can march to other counties in Donghai County, and finally wait for the rebel army to grow in strength before returning to conquer Tan County.
However, this proposal was rejected by Qin Jia. After a year of hard fighting, Tan County was gradually exhausted and the city's defense force was decreasing day by day. How could we give up so easily?
While everyone was chattering about this matter, a messenger walked in quickly and said with cupped hands: "Generals, there is a group of people outside the camp asking to see you. The leader of the group claims to be Chen Pan, the general under King Chen Sheng.
I am sitting in Donghai County and want to meet General Qin Jia."
After hearing this, Qin Jia was slightly surprised, "Who is Chen Pan?"
While Qin Jia was secretly thinking about Chen Pan's purpose, Gongsun Qing, who had always remained silent, said in a deep voice: "General, what do you think Chen Pan's purpose is?"
Gongsun Qing was Qin Jia's staff, and his doubts at this time were also his own doubts. Qin Jia thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile brightly: "Could it be that Chen Pan also came here to attack Tan County?"
Gongsun Qing nodded, he had already guessed Chen Pan's intention. At this time Qin Jia said part of it, Gongsun Qing handed over his hand and said: "I'm afraid attacking Tan County is just one of them. I think he has another purpose.
"
"Oh? Let's hear it." Qin Jia became interested and stood up and walked around the tent. At this time, Gongsun Qing said with a smile: "As far as I know, Chen Sheng has been defeated in Chen County, but Chen Pan deceived us because we are far away.
The news was blocked, and he thought we didn't know the news of Chen Sheng's defeat, so he came in the name of Chen Sheng. If the general was led by him, then in the next step, he would definitely take over all the sergeants under the general's command, and then
…”
Gongsun Qing made a gesture of cutting his neck. Qin Jia couldn't help but shudder and said angrily: "In this case, I will reject him now!"
"Otherwise, how can the general skim off the fat so easily?" Gongsun Qing looked at Qin Jia faintly, and then said after a while: "Cooperation is for sure, but we might as well cooperate individually and take advantage of the fact that he has nothing to do when he enters the camp.
When we are ready, we will ambush the swordsman, kill this person, and then recruit his army, Tan County can be defeated!"
Speaking of this, Qin Jia nodded in agreement, and the rest of the people in the tent also stood up and praised this plan. Soon, everyone's laughter came from the tent.
...
Outside the tent, Chen Pan and his twenty followers had been waiting for a long time. They each held their horses and wandered anxiously. At this time, Chen Pan was already a little angry. The rebel army of less than ten thousand people dared to be so prosperous.
Are you waiting outside?
But Chen Pan knew in his heart that he was here to win over them after all, and it was not easy to fall out for the time being, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and continue to wait.
Not long after, a soldier rushed out and said with cupped hands: "My general has invited me, please come with me."
"Is this how your general treats guests? Why don't you come out to greet me?" Chen Pan was a little unhappy, and the soldier immediately replied: "In the past few days, Tan County has been attacked by force, and the soldiers and horses have suffered heavy casualties. My general is treating the wounded soldiers. Please
Forgive me."
Seeing that the other party was indeed busy with something, Chen Pan could not show off any more, so he snorted coldly and walked towards the camp. However, the soldiers guarding the camp on both sides waved their long swords and blocked the way. An officer said loudly: "
General Chen, my general has an order that only you are allowed to enter the camp, and the others are not allowed to enter!"
"You..." Chen Pan was angry again. He pointed at the officer and said, 'You' for a long time, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he was on his territory. In the end, Chen Pan could only snort coldly and walked inside.
At this time, everything requires patience, but Chen Pan has decided in his heart that one day, he must let Qin Jia pay back double the amount.
Led by a soldier, he walked through several camps and came to a large tent. There were more than 20 burly soldiers guarding the tent. Chen Pan felt that something was wrong with the momentum, but he couldn't guess where it was.
Something went wrong. At this time, the soldier who had just led the way shouted outside the tent: "General, we are here."
A dull voice came from the tent: "Bring him in."
When Chen Pan saw that the other party had arrived, he refused to come to greet him. He had to straighten his robes, hold his head high, and walk into the tent. In the tent, six or seven generals sat on both sides, and behind him, dozens of soldiers held halberds.
, stood proudly, but Chen Pan was not afraid at all. He still regarded himself as the messenger of heaven and strode forward.
Approaching Qin Jia, Chen Pan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Qin, you have such a big score."
Qin Jia ignored Chen Pan's accusation, only looked at him coldly for a while, and said with a smile, "I wonder what General Chen is here for?"
Qin Jia's cold and arrogant attitude completely angered Chen Pan. He pointed at Qin Jia and said angrily: "You...don't be disrespectful. I came to see you to give you a chance. Otherwise, if you piss me off, go back and report it to my king."
, destroy your three clans!”
Chen Pan's tough stance not only failed to scare Qin Jia, but instead attracted his disdain and sneer. Then Qin Jia pointed at Chen Pan angrily and shouted loudly: "King Chen Sheng has defeated Chen County. At this time, Zhang Chu State has already
Let Lu Chen take over, don't try to fool me here!"
After saying that, Qin Jia stood up slowly, walked a few steps in the tent, came to Chen Pan, looked into his eyes, and sneered: "King Chen Sheng can't restrain me, am I the only one who has to be restrained by you?"
Seeing that the other party already knew the news of Chen Sheng's death and was not afraid of him at all, Chen Pan felt something bad in his heart. He immediately changed his tone and smiled politely: "It was my fault just now. Please don't blame me, general.
This time, I want to unite with your army to attack the Qin army and show off to Donghai County. Do you think...?"
Chen Pan cast an expectant look at Qin Jia, but Qin Jia coldly refused: "I'm afraid you won't have this chance!"
This time, Chen Pan faintly felt Qin Jia's murderous intention. He couldn't help but take two steps back and hesitated: "You...what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Qin Jia said as he walked forward, holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his right hand, looking coldly at Chen Pan. After a moment, the sword flashed, and Chen Pan's head was in a different place.
Qin Jia looked coldly at Chen Pan's body and snorted: "Don't even think about cooperating with a rat like you!"
Several soldiers came over, rummaged over Chen Pan's body, took out a token, and handed it to Qin Jia. Then they took Chen Pan's body away. At this time, Qin Jia carefully looked at the token.
He turned around and handed it to Zhujishi, and sneered: "You took this token and falsely claimed that Chen Pan was drinking in my camp, and asked them to gather troops and follow orders. You should understand what to do next...
"
Qin Jia's eyes were far-reaching, Zhu Jishi nodded and left quickly.
