Chapter 233 The "Rebellion" Army of the Old Nobles of the Six Kingdoms
In Kuaiji County and Yin County, a battle had just occurred and the smell of blood had not dissipated. Song Yi didn't even bother to take off his blood-stained armor. So he closed his eyes and rested on a recliner.
Although I dislike Qin very much, this thing passed down to the world by the Qin people is really easy to use and is quite comfortable to lie on.
He is really too tired. He has not had a good rest since he decided to raise his troops. He is either racking his brains to come up with plans or personally leading the army to go on an expedition. Like this county town of Yinxian County, he is leading the army. Capture it.
There is no way. Now the rebel army lacks generals. Even if he was once the commander of the Chu Kingdom, he had to wear armor and go into battle and lead the troops in battle himself.
By capturing Yinxian today, the rebels now have another county under their control. They can get some supplies of food, weapons, soldiers, etc., and they can finally breathe a little easier.
This uprising was a hasty uprising in a forced state. The preparation time was short, resulting in many aspects being inadequate, such as weapons. If they had not secretly hidden some weapons before the demise of the Chu State, it is estimated that When an incident occurred, the soldiers had to chop wood into weapons and bamboo into blades.
The same goes for food and grass. I never thought that an uprising would happen at this time. Even if I stocked some in advance to prepare for emergencies, it was not to prepare for an uprising. How much could I have stocked?
As for the soldiers, if they didn’t have retainers and old troops, they wouldn’t even be able to raise the troops of Shouyi. Now there are tens of thousands of soldiers, said to be two hundred thousand, but their own family knows their own affairs, and many of the soldiers were killed by them. Coercion and coercion followed the uprising.
Will you revolt with me? Think about your elderly parents and your son who just learned to walk? You don’t want anything to happen to them?
Under this kind of coercion, the number of rebels has successfully increased rapidly, and it is still increasing, but it has also brought about a series of problems, but now that it has happened, they cannot stop.
According to Song Yi's own anti-Qin uprising route, the situation should not be like this. Time and energy should be spent on preliminary preparations. Before the uprising, prophecy rumors should be spread, such as "Who will Qin be in?" "Perish in the hands", "After the death of King Qin, the State of Qin will immediately "It collapsed", "A one-eyed stone man was accidentally dug out in a certain river, and the stone man's eyes were still staring in the direction of Xianyang"...
This way, people all over the world, and even the people of Qin, were They believed that Qin was bound to perish, so when they started to rebel, some people were willing to follow them in rebellion.
The second step is to secretly build reserves of weapons and food so that there will be enough weapons and food to supply the rebels in the event of an uprising. They also secretly train a group of elites so that they can lead the untrained ordinary people after the uprising. Soldiers.
The last thing is to patiently wait for the opportunity. Qin is very strong. If he starts an uprising immediately, it will just happen again, like Qin destroyed the six kingdoms. So if you want to wait for Qin to weaken, it is best to wait until someone jumps out to reveal that Qin has weakened. The fact was that he revolted against Qin.
But now, without any of these preparations, they were forced to rebel.
Song Yi is not optimistic about this uprising, but what can he do if he is not optimistic? Could he go to sea and leave like his son?
Not to mention that going overseas is also very risky. He is already old and does not want to go overseas far away from his homeland. When other options are unavailable, he can only rise up and fight the Qin people.
Song Yi was so tired after the incident that he fell asleep on the recliner unknowingly, but before he could sleep for long, a burst of rapid footsteps woke him up. He touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, While looking towards the source of the footsteps.
Song Yi was relieved when he saw that the person coming was a general under his command, but then he realized something was wrong. The general knew that he was resting here for a while and would not come to disturb him for no reason. There must be something wrong with him!
Song Yi frowned and asked: "What's the matter?"
The general said respectfully: "Report to the general, the king sent someone to send a message, and urgently summoned the general to return to Qiantang. We have important matters to discuss."
What is the important matter that requires calling him, a general who is leading troops from the front, back to discuss?
Song Yi was thinking in his mind and asked: "Can you tell me what the important matter is?"
The general shook his head and said: "I don't know, the messenger who came to deliver the message didn't tell me."< br>
This answer gave Song Yi a sudden thought and gave him a bad premonition. The king sent a message asking him to go back to discuss matters, but he did not tell him what it was about. He was obviously trying to prevent others from knowing about it, and what couldn't be spread widely and become known to everyone?
It must be related to the Qin people!
Indeed, they have been revolting for more than half a month, and half of Kuaiji has been captured by them. The news must have spread to Xianyang, letting the King of Qin know that the King of Qin has probably sent troops.
I just don’t know which Qin general will lead the army. I hope it’s not the most famous ones, especially Wang Jian.
But as soon as he had this thought, Song Yi shook his head in his heart. He was afraid that this hope would only happen in a dream, and the King of Qin would probably send a certain Qin general they didn't want to face.
Ignoring the fact that he had not had a good rest and was extremely exhausted physically and mentally, Song Yi said: "Prepare horses for me, and I will return to Qiantang immediately. As for Yin County, it is up to you, Zhuang Zhong and Jing Lie to decide!"< br>
Soon, escorted by dozens of people who used to be retainers but are now personal soldiers, Song Yi hurried from Yin County to Qiantang.
The distance from Yinxian County to Qiantang is only more than 300 miles, which is not too far. In modern times, it only takes a few hours to drive there.
But in this era, there were no highways or high-speed railways, and the roads were not well built. Song Yi was eager to rush back, but due to these factors, he only arrived the next day.
Qiantang County, also known as Lin'an later, is a part of Lin'an to be precise. However, Qiantang at this time was far less prosperous than it was later. It was a very ordinary county in the land of Daqin:
This was mainly due to the lack of control of Qiantang at this time. The degree of development in the south was not high, and many southern cities that would be prosperous in the future were either villages or barren counties at this time.
But at this time, Song Yi and the rebel army were used as the base camp for the uprising against Qin, and their first rebellion was here.
As soon as he approached Qiantang County, Song Yi saw human heads hanging on the city wall. From time to time, there were sounds of crying and begging for mercy. Looking at the sound, he saw a famous person in a cage. people.
Song Yi knew very well what happened to these heads and people. They were basically people who did not want to join them in resisting Qin, so they were punished by them.
They were doing a deadly job, and no one in their right mind would want to mess with them, but they couldn't let this happen. Without anyone to follow them, where would they have the soldiers to capture the city and fight the Qin people?
Therefore, we can only adopt the method of killing chickens to scare monkeys, and deal with a group of people severely with cruel alchemists, so that others will not dare to disobey them after seeing them.
If you don’t want your heads to be cut off and hung on the city wall in the wind and sun, and your family members to be locked in cages and freeze to death from starvation, then you must follow us to fight against Qin.
Song Yi turned a blind eye to the people in the cages and the heads hanging on the city walls, and walked into the city calmly.
For him, revolting against Qin is what every Chu person should do and support, but these people don't want to support them, they deserve to be killed and punished!
