In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"It's pouring rain, the roads are so muddy we can't walk. We've already missed the deadline to reach Yuyang. If we go now, we'll probably get beheaded..." Another middle-aged man with a big beard sat down next to Chen Sheng and sighed.

His name was Wu Guang, and he was also the squad leader of this team.

"In other words, we are now almost certainly facing certain death..." Chen Sheng patted his face, speaking with a sorrowful expression, yet a slight smile remained on his face.

"What kind of crazy idea are you thinking of now..." Wu Guang narrowed his eyes.

“Wu Guang, you and I are the closest. I tell you all my secrets.” Chen Sheng sighed, raised his head, and looked into Wu Guang’s eyes. “Now, I have a plan.”

"You say it," Wu Guang said, idly rubbing mud.

"I want to rebel," Chen Sheng said calmly.

"...Huh?" Wu Guang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, staring at Chen Sheng with horrified eyes, about to say, "You—"

"Listen to me first!" Chen Sheng suddenly grabbed Wu Guang's hand and pulled him back.

"We are destined to die now, is this how we are supposed to end?"

"But we didn't either..."

"No!" Chen Sheng interrupted Wu Guang again, his eyes blazing with fire and light. "Being beheaded is death, and accomplishing great things is also death! Since we're going to die anyway, why don't we choose the latter!?"

Wu Guang was completely stunned by Chen Sheng's words and sat on the ground at a loss.

He knew Chen Sheng was a man of principle, who had long ago uttered such resounding words as "If I become rich and powerful, let us not forget each other" and "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?" But he never expected things to turn out this way...

Chen Sheng looked around, then sat down again and grabbed Wu Guang's shoulder.

“Old Wu, listen to me. Qin is no longer the Qin it used to be. The whole world is full of complaints. This is our best opportunity. And are you really willing to have your head chopped off so easily? Just because you were a few days late in guarding the Great Wall?”

Chen Sheng's voice was incredibly seductive, relentlessly piercing into Wu Guang's ears.

“I already have a plan, you know, Lao Wu. The Second Emperor of Qin should not have been the youngest son of the First Emperor, Huhai, but the virtuous eldest son, Fusu.”

Seeing that Wu Guang was already tempted, Chen Sheng continued speaking.

"The people all know that Fusu is virtuous and capable, but they don't know that Fusu has been killed by Huhai. There is another person, Xiang Yan, a general of Chu. Xiang Yan loved his soldiers and had many military achievements. He died in the war against Qin, but there are rumors that Xiang Yan did not die, but just went into hiding."

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes.

"Both of these men are beloved by the people. If we use the names of Prince Fusu and General Xiang Yan of Chu to call upon all those who are dissatisfied with Qin, what do you think those who harbor deep resentment towards Qin will think of our uprising?"

Wu Guang's heart began to pound violently.

"Since we're all going to die anyway, why not choose a way to die that will go down in history?"

Wu Guang's mouth opened and closed, and Tong Kong trembled slightly.

He was persuaded.

Once Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had made up their minds, they began to take action.

What do you need to start a rebellion?

It's manpower.

The border defense force of nine hundred men in front of us is a good source of manpower.

However, winning over this group of people is still quite difficult.

However, Chen Sheng did have a good idea.

That's just playing tricks.

In this era, pretending to be a ghost or a deity is often very effective.

He wrote the three characters "Chen Sheng Wang" on a white cloth with cinnabar, and then stuffed it into the belly of a fish.

A soldier bought the fish, and all the soldiers saw the white cloth and began to discuss it.

Chen Sheng then had Wu Guang lie down in a temple next to their camp and imitate the cry of a fox, shouting "The Great Chu will rise, Chen Sheng will be king!" all night long. His voice became hoarse, but the effect was indeed achieved.

On the second day at the camp, everyone was in a state of panic, and the way people looked at Chen Sheng was strange.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who was covering his mouth and unable to speak, exchanged a glance and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

The first step of the plan, building momentum, is basically complete.

The next step was to use Wu Guang's popularity within the ranks to do something else.

Chen Sheng clenched his fists, his face covered in a bit of cold sweat.

If I succeed, maybe... I'll also have the chance to rule the world!

Chapter 855 The Fire of Dazexiang

Several days later, the heavy rain still did not stop, and the garrison troops remained trapped in Dazexiang and could not advance.

The county constable escorting the convoy was filled with sorrow, so he bought some wine, intending to drown his sorrows and ease the grief of his impending execution.

In a daze, he saw someone walk up in front of him, and it seemed like... they were cursing him?

The county magistrate didn't want to pay attention to that person; he just wanted to grieve alone.

But that person kept standing in front of him, spewing insults incessantly.

The county constable was somewhat annoyed. He stood up and turned to verbally abuse the person standing in front of him, but was instead shoved.

The county constable was furious. He drew his whip, kicked the man who had provoked him to the ground, and began to lash him mercilessly.

He didn't notice that a large crowd had already gathered outside.

In broad daylight, while drunk, he brutally lashed a village headman with his horsewhip.

This village head was also a very popular village head.

The county constable also noticed this and immediately panicked.

No, for the sake of my prestige in the team, I must—kill this person!

Kill him first! Then just throw some random charge at him!

Thinking this, the county constable drew his bronze sword from his waist and was about to slash at the village head's neck.

The village head, lying on the ground enduring the pain of the whipping, revealed a sinister smile.

The village head was none other than Wu Guang.

He suddenly sprang to his feet, snatched the bronze sword from the county magistrate's hand, and roared dramatically, "You scoundrel, how dare you insult me!"

Before the drunken county constable could react, Wu Guang struck him on the neck with his sword, using such force that he severed the constable's head.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, then panic ensued.

Two other county constables ran out; one went after Wu Guang, while the other went to restore order to the garrison soldiers.

In the panic, another person jumped out; it was Chen Sheng, who had been hiding in the shadows.

Chen Sheng blocked Wu Guang's path, holding a bronze sword in his hand.

His eyes widened in fury, and he roared as he charged at the county magistrate. The magistrate, who was resting and not wearing armor, was defeated in two or three rounds and was struck in the chest by Chen Sheng's sword, dying on the spot.

After cutting off the county constable's head, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang killed the last county constable.

At this point, the entire border defense force heading to Yuyang was completely leaderless.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang exchanged a glance and nodded.

Standing on the high platform of the training ground, Chen Sheng took a deep breath and roared with all his might.

"Everyone—!"

!listen to me!

! ”

Hearing the shouts, the panicked soldiers all looked towards the drill ground. At this moment, the soldiers under Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's command were heading towards the drill ground, and the others followed suit, wanting to see what had happened.

Standing beside Chen Sheng, Wu Guang watched the scene below the platform and couldn't help but nod in approval.

Chen Sheng, that lad, is really clever. These ignorant soldiers actually all gathered around, and that's how...

Wu Guang laughed, a somewhat arrogant laugh.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Chen Sheng coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"Listen to me, everyone! Our team encountered heavy rain and couldn't reach Yuyang on time. We've already missed the deadline. You all know what missing the deadline means, right?" Chen Sheng held up a torch, which illuminated his face, making his eyes look like they were burning with flames.

The atmosphere in the garrison immediately sombered.

Being late is punishable by death.

“Yes, being late will definitely mean death,” Chen Sheng sighed, lowering his head as he said, “Even if we don’t miss the deadline, even if we arrive in Yuyang on time, will we definitely survive?”

"Since the Qin Dynasty was established, how many of those who went to guard the Great Wall on the frontier have survived? Out of ten, could it be three?! Think about it! We're all going to die anyway, so are you really willing to die like this? Beheaded? Or buried under the Great Wall?!"

Chen Sheng's voice rose to a high pitch, filled with fervent anger and infectious energy.

The bewildered soldiers all raised their heads and looked at the man standing on the high place.

"Then what should we do?! Give us a solution!" A rather burly-looking soldier raised his hand and asked Chen Sheng loudly.

"Now I'm going to give you a choice." Chen Sheng smiled, his eyes suddenly flashing with light.

"A true man either lives or dies—he must choose a way to die that will make him famous throughout the world, and besides—!"

Chen Sheng raised one of his hands high and spoke with all his might.

"Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with a special destiny?!"

Chen Sheng finally revealed his true colors.

"The people have suffered under the tyrannical Qin for too long. Today, in the name of Prince Fusu and General Xiang Yan of Chu, we will rebel against them!"

Chen Sheng successfully stirred up the morale of the soldiers.

"Inverted!"

"Inverted!"

"We are willing to be at your beck and call!"
