At this time, the troops of Chu gathered together, gathering thousands of people into units, forming powerful forces that were almost beyond calculation in number.
They were of grand scale and formidable presence, under the banner of supporting Fu Su, whom Zhaozi had recognized to ascend the throne, they sought to extinguish the tyranny of Emperor Qin.
Qin Shi Huang was very wary of them, with every reason to be suspicious, and who knows what the future may hold?
He dispatched troops from three directions to encircle and suppress the revolt led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
During the uprising, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang treated people kindly and were lenient with everyone.
Their attitude towards the common people and the official stance of the Qin Dynasty were completely opposite. They tolerated the common people, allowing them to choose freely.
This helped them gain significant momentum.
The army of Emperor Qin advanced towards the territory of Chu, but at this moment, Chu was in the midst of a powerful surge, and Emperor Qin had no way to deal with them.
" Indeed ... "
Zhao Pei'An stared at the screen of his phone, silently reflecting.
"Warriors who fight for the oppressed will certainly win." Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army was almost composed of people who were heavily oppressed by the Qin Dynasty throughout various places.
Although they lack refinement and physical strength, all they have left is resentment:
The resentment that demands retribution for the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty.
"Such an army is indeed hard to win."
Imagine living in deep water and fierce fire, with people using severe laws to oppress you and using secular authority to force you to kneel down.
Some people are going to implement the fifteen-line corporal punishment system, forcing you to denounce each other, and making you "not related within ten li, only revering the Emperor Qin."
They say they want to oppress the people, but also want to nourish them, and want the people to work for themselves. You feel like you are their puppet.
But at that moment, someone stood gently in front of you and said to you: "Brother, join us and do something big!"
Who wouldn't be moved?
"But this model still has some potential risks..."
Zhao Pei'An stared at his phone. Most of the leaders of peasant uprisings share a very prominent characteristic:
They are very lenient towards the lower classes, but they are very wary of those around them.
Particularly for armies like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who rely solely on their boundless resentment, any action that can chill the hearts of their followers is enough to pretty much declare the end of the uprising.
"Can I interfere?"
【The master cannot interfere for the time being.】
【At this time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's momentum is at its peak, and they have not yet fallen into a difficult situation.】
"Never mind..."
As the game progresses, Zhao Pei'an gradually realizes:
It is possible not to actively contact one's contractual partners.
Unless his contractual partners are in a difficult situation, there would be no opportunity for him.
Otherwise, it would only be when the contractual partner initiates contact, such as on the day Liu Bang got married.
"Let's continue then."
At this moment, Emperor Qin's troops for suppressing the rebellion were intensifying.
To consolidate his power, Chen Sheng ordered Ge Ying to attack Dongcheng, a well-defended city, so that they would have an escape route no matter what happened.
Ge Ying led the troops to Dongcheng and established Xiang Qiang, who was highly respected by the people as the King of Chu, thus controlling the region in a puppet-like manner.
Later, Ge Ying heard that Chen Sheng had declared himself king, so he killed Xiang Qiang.
But at this moment, Ge Ying guessed the fault in Chen Sheng's actions.
He knew that after Chen Sheng declared himself king, he would definitely suspect him, so he supported his own forces in Dongcheng. This force practiced the martial arts of Zhaozi's lineage and was powerful.
This force was composed of a group of orphans, sturdy vagabonds, and wandering knights from the local area.
They were all people who had nowhere to turn. With Ge Ying's sponsorship, he had them train in the martial arts of Zhao Men.
He named it "Zhao" for the sake of Zhaozi, meaning "to attain the brilliance of the righteous."
He told Chen Sheng that he had killed Xiang Qiang, but he had not.
He told Xiang Qiang that if anyone committed injustice, they should not follow.
If he was killed by Chen Sheng when he returned, Xiang Qiang would take the Zhao troops and hide in the mountains and marshes. They would wait for the right opportunity to emerge.
If he returned to Chen Sheng without being killed, he would send a message to Xiang Qiang, making the Zhao troops a great help to Zhang Chu.
"Martyr?"
Zhao Pei'An stared at the screen of his phone, and soon he realized that this was the dead soldier army of the future.
Nurture those in distress with various kinds of food, treat them as if they were your own son, and they will work hard for you with their minds and strength.
This should be the embryonic form of the dead soldier army.
Ge Ying's approach was relatively simple: he found people who could not survive, provided them with a place to live, and gave them a home.
These people had almost no hope for life; they had been wandering from birth, never having a tomorrow.
But Ge Ying showed them a tomorrow.
Ge Ying gave them the sense of security and home they had never experienced before.
Naturally, they would contribute to Ge Ying.
【The Zhao army takes Zhaozi's lineage as its founder, acknowledges Zhaozi's status, and believes that Zhaozi will guide them when the time comes."""
【This is, of course, Xiang Qiang's assumption; he thought Zhaozi had been dead for a long time.】
【The master can appear to guide or save the Zhao army when they need advice.】
【Or you can use the Jiyu Tianzhao card on someone within the Zhao army, making that person possess incredible divine strength to defeat hundreds of people at a crucial time."""
"Finally, there's a place to use this card."
Zhao Pei'an looked at his phone. The Jiyu Tianzhao card had been in his possession since he helped Ying Yiren ascend to the throne, and it had never been used until now.
"What kind of power does this thing have?"
It is so powerful that even a game system that uses "Qi Yun" as currency thinks it's amazing.
On the phone, the game continues.
Ge Ying guessed right.
When Ge Ying arrived in Chen County, Chen Sheng indeed sentenced him to death on the grounds of plotting rebellion.
The Zhao army, which was originally meant to defend the King of Zhang Chu, had also disappeared into the shadows.
They wandered the vast land of the Nine States, seeking their peers.
They were not far from Mount Mangang.
On the other side, the Zhang Chu country.
After Chen Sheng killed Ge Ying, he ordered Wei Zhoushi to advance north and occupy the territory of Wei.
Wu Guang besieged Yingyang, and Li You, as the Magistrate of the Sanchu District, held firm in Yingyang, which Wu Guang was unable to conquer.
Chen Sheng summoned domestic heroes to discuss matters and appointed Huo Jun, a native of Shancai, as the Upper Column Country Lord.
At this moment, Chen Sheng's troops were becoming somewhat confused in their minds. The original members of his team who had started with him but had not received rewards were beginning to have doubts;
"Why would you think, Chen Sheng, that we would betray you? We risked our lives to rise with you."
"How can you even trust outsiders over ourselves?"
