Until Zhao Gao sent Li Si away, he did not express his position whether he supported or opposed it.
Perhaps Li Si shared all his thoughts today not because he wanted his support, but just because he wanted to find someone to talk to.
Frankly speaking, there is probably no third person in the world who can empathize with the precarious days the two of them have experienced.
Your Majesty is both an object of admiration and an object of fear.
Although Zhao Gao did not express his thoughts or give Li Si an answer, he knew that he basically agreed with Li Si's approach.
In fact, Zhao Gao also found it strange that as a powerful master in the master realm, he has lived for hundreds of years. Logically speaking, he has lived enough and should not care so much about his own life and death.
But the fact is exactly the opposite. Just like Li Si, he not only wants to continue living and live longer, but he can't even suppress the idea of pursuing martial arts for longevity.
If Li Si's plan succeeds, it will at least reduce the threat posed by His Majesty to a large extent, which will also be beneficial to him.
As for why he did not flee overseas alone to save his life like Xu Fu, Li Si was reluctant to give up the Li family, and he should be reluctant to part with the endless glory and wealth he enjoyed.
Zhao Gao thought to himself: Da Qin cannot be completely destroyed yet.
Li Si walked out of the Zhao Mansion, his steps becoming more determined. With Zhao Gao's help, his plan seemed reasonable.
After a while, counterinsurgency will have to be put on the agenda, and everything that happens must be based on a seemingly reasonable basis.
…
At the end of July in the first year of Qin II, Chen She led his troops to defeat the main force of the Qin army led by the governor of Nanhe Province three times in a row, and successively occupied Zhoukou, Nanyang, Xinyang and other places.
After all the resistance forces in Nanhe Province were eliminated, Chen She personally took action by the river and killed the governor of Nanhe Province. At this point, Nanhe Province completely fell into the hands of the rebels.
In August of the first year of Qin II, a military official who was named a general by Chen She led an army of 5,000 to attack Julu County in Zhao territory in the name of restoring the state of Zhao.
The governor of Julu County actively organized troops and people to defend the city, intending to give the military officials a head-on attack.
However, it only took Wuchen less than three days to capture the entire Julu County.
On the first day, the military officials led their troops to Julu City and tentatively attacked the city, but to no avail, they retreated temporarily.
In the evening, Wu Chen contacted the internal intelligence in Julu City.
Early the next morning, under the instruction of Wu Chen, Neiying successfully attacked the gatekeepers and opened the city gate to welcome Wu Chen.
The military ministers, who had been prepared for a long time, led the entire army and took the opportunity to rush into Julu City and killed the Julu Governor with their own hands in front of the governor's mansion.
Without a leader, the remaining Qin army immediately collapsed, and the military officials successfully occupied Julu City.
Then, the military officials sent people to arrest the officials of the Qin State in Julu City and exterminated them all to sacrifice the dead heroes of the Zhao State.
On the third day, the military officials swept through the entire Julu County and completely occupied this territory that originally belonged to the State of Zhao.
Later, Wu Chen sent people to Julu County to preach "Destroy Qin and restore Zhao". The martial arts families and people in Julu County responded one after another and gathered in Jingcong to join the Zhao family army to which Wu Chen belonged.
In August of the same year, Zhou Shi captured Guangling County and Yangzhai County successively. During this period, he recruited rangers and warriors to join the army. In less than half a month, he had 20,000 soldiers, and his power has greatly increased since then.
At the same time, Deng Zong and Zhaoping attacked Jiujiang County and Jiaodong County respectively, and each gained something.
Suddenly, war broke out in Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu. The governors of various provinces in Qin fell into fighting on their own, losing cities and territories, and were in panic.
Martial arts families from all over the country either dragged their families and fled the war, or they only focused on self-preservation and hid in fortresses in the countryside and did not dare to come forward.
Of course, there are also many martial arts families who join the rebel army and take advantage of the situation.
In less than a month, the situation in the Guandong region of Great Qin deteriorated, and large areas of land were lost.
The entire Restoration Council, including Zhang Liang, was in disbelief. How could the Qin State, which was so powerful in the past, become like paper.
Leaving aside the slackening of military armaments in various places, more than a month has passed since Chen She launched an army to rebel. Except for the troops organized by the governors of various places, not even a decent counter-rebellion army has appeared, which is really incredible.
After discussion, Zhang Liang and others agreed that this was most likely a conspiracy by the Qin State to lure them out of hiding behind the scenes.
However, what they didn't know was that the governors from various places sent people to Chang'an to ask for help documents. Not to mention appearing in front of Hu Hai and the officials of Great Qin, some of them even disappeared inexplicably without even entering Chang'an City.
Out of caution, Tian Dan and Xiang Liang forcibly suppressed the idea of raising troops and continued to wait and see, waiting for subsequent changes.
…
In Chen County, after learning that Wu Chen and others had successfully captured several counties, Chen She was very happy and ordered: "My general is going to invite the famous families in Chen County to a banquet today to celebrate the achievements of all the rebels."
Soon, all the heads of famous martial arts families in Chen County were moved to the county governor's office by Chen She. Naturally, the first to bear the brunt was the famous Xie family of Chen County.
A dinner party with Chen She as the main guest, Wu Guang as the second, and the martial arts family as the guests, was successfully held.
The martial arts family headed by the Xie family was extremely flattering to Chen She, the new grandmaster and leader of the rebel army. One moment they praised his martial arts as unparalleled in the world, and the other moment they praised him for his selfless uprising for the people.
The knowledge and interest of the martial arts family made Chen She, who was already very happy, feel even more comfortable. He drank dozens of glasses of wine, and a trace of drunkenness appeared on his face.
I don't know who praised Chen She again. Chen She raised the wine bottle with a proud look on his face and said, "Come, you and I will drink from this cup together."
Everyone held up the wine bottles with both hands and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the general."
After drinking the cup, the head of the Xie family suddenly made up his mind, stood up and saluted, saying: "General, I have something in my heart that I don't want to say out loud. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive me."
Chen She was not carried away by the excitement. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, if Master Xie has anything to say, feel free to say it and listen to it. I am not a stingy person. As long as what I say is reasonable, I will naturally not express my anger on you."
you."
The head of the Xie family seemed to have expected Chen She's answer, and just bowed his hands and said: "I have long heard that the general is a hero, but when I saw him today, I realized that it is better to meet him than to be famous."
"General, you personally put on armor and went into battle with weapons in hand to attack the cruel and cruel Qin State and rescue the people of Li. Your power is unparalleled. In terms of merit, you should be called the king."
Chen She said expressionlessly: "Oh, really?"
Seeing Chen She's reaction, the head of the Xie family couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth and said: "General, this is not a villain's opinion. If you don't believe me, General, you can ask others in the hall."
After the head of the Xie family finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at the other people in the hall.
Chen She followed the gaze of the head of the Xie family and looked over expressionlessly.
The other martial arts families in the hall, after hearing these words from the head of the Xie family, secretly cursed how shameless they were, but they felt regretful in their hearts, why didn't they think of this?
At this moment, Chen She looked over and quickly agreed: "Xie Jiazhu is right. With the merits of a general, he is enough to be crowned king. General, please don't let down the expectations of the people."
When Wu Guang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Considering Chen She's current situation, it was not yet time for him to claim the throne. He was just unwilling to refute in public, lest he lose Chen She's prestige.
However, after Chen She heard the affirmation from everyone in the hall, he couldn't help but feel a little satisfied: "What have you seen, what kind of king should I call this general?"
The head of the Xie family took the lead and said: "I once heard that after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, a proverb came out of nowhere: "Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die." According to what I saw, the general's move was exactly what he said.
It is destiny, so the general should be called the King of Chu and command the world to replace Qin."
Chen She narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully considered the pros and cons of becoming king. After a long time, he said decisively: "As you said, I will comply with the destiny of heaven and establish a country and claim the title of king."
Then he gave the order: "Come here, prepare the altar. I, the general, will sacrifice to heaven and earth, and establish a country and become king."
In August of the first year of Qin II, Chen She made Chen County his capital and called himself King of Chu, with the title Zhang Chu.
