Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 263 Turning Point (Additional Update 4/5 for the Alliance Leader)

"Chen Sheng will soon be defeated!"

When Chen Sheng ordered the execution of the fellow villagers who came to look for him, hoping that he would fulfill his promise of "don't forget me if I become rich and powerful",
The dead ghosts who were watching him had a premonition of his future.

"I thought he could turn into a gentleman, but human hearts are always easily corrupted."

Hui Shi sighed and said, "It's only been a few months, and it has come to this?"

“It is a common sense in the world that wealth and status force people to do the same.”

The nobleman of the Three Jins said, "Chen Sheng was born in a humble family. Even though he has read some books, his horizons are not broad enough."

"If he was good at accepting advice, he could still keep his title of King Chen. Unfortunately, after being flattered for a few months, he can no longer tolerate honest advice."

Ji Wu angrily said to those gossiping predecessors, "When he restored the throne of the Three Jins, you didn't speak in this tone!"

Chen Sheng became king.

He then successively attacked eastward, recovered part of the land of Three Jins, Yan, Chu and other states, and supported Prince Ju of Wei, who was hiding among the people, as the King of Wei.

After this, the King of Zhao and the King of Yan resumed their claims.

Although the new king of Zhao Yan was not a prince of either country, at least he brought back the country's name and announced it to the world.

Moreover, the military official who claimed to be the King of Zhao was killed by his subordinates not long ago because of his indulgence in extravagance, and Prince Xie of Zhao was re-established as the king.

This made the ancestors feel that
Even if the throne is occupied by a lowly person for a while, it will eventually belong to your family.

A mean person cannot plan for the long term!
When they see a little bit of wealth and glory, they lose themselves in it and become obsessed with it. How can they compare to the royal family who have seen and enjoyed it since childhood but unfortunately were persecuted by the Qin people for more than ten years?

With this thought in mind,
When our ancestors first spoke of Chen Sheng, they also used many praises.

Just now,

After Meng Tian went out, he first defeated Zhou Wen who was stationed outside Hangu Pass, and then defeated Zhang Chu's other troops one after another.

The fire of the peasant uprising,
Suddenly, there was a trend of being extinguished again.

At the same time,
The Xiang family in Chu also rose greatly, and their reputation and military strength were no weaker than that of Chen Sheng, who started the rebellion first.

Comparing the noble and the humble,

Our ancestors naturally shifted their gaze and changed their expressions.

"But you were scolding him before!"

"Why are you suddenly speaking up for this person?"

Don't assume they don't know.
Ji Wu had very strong opinions about some people and things in the rebel army, and his insults were very harsh.

The ghosts and gods beside him couldn't help but pull his hand and persuade him: "Stop cursing, stop cursing!"

"You are so resentful that your face has turned black!"

But He Bo knew,
Ji Wu is showing his anger at his lack of resistance.

Dazexiang Uprising,
It was an unprecedented action by a lowly people to rebel against a noble monarch.

When Chen Sheng shouted "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born of different species?", no one knew how many dead people who had lived through the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had been shocked.

The chasm between the noble and the humble that has existed for thousands of years,

Just like that, it was looked down upon and passed over lightly.

Ji Wu was looking forward to it.

Chen Sheng could complete the unfinished goal of Dao Zhi and go to more distant places.

The results of it?
After Chen Sheng became king, he forgot his original identity.

Like King Chen, many people in the rebel army soon became extravagant and indulgent.

The foundation was unstable to begin with.
Behind him, there are nobles from six countries trying to poach him and compete with him.
In front of him, the Qin army led by Meng Tian continued to suppress him.

However, they still had to drink, have fun and dance on the temporary platform.

If this continues, how long will it take for my career to collapse?
After the cannon fodder in the front fell,

It is easy to imagine who will pick the fruits.

Ji Wu feels sad because of this.

After a quarrel with the predecessors,

He simply walked away and stopped being Chen Sheng's backer.

He Bo later found him and said in surprise, "After all these years, I didn't expect you to be such a pessimistic person!"

"Do you think the cause of the common people is hopeless?"

Ji Wu said, "Looking at the current state of the rebel army, can they resist Meng Tian?"

"I heard that Xiang has a disciple named Yu, who has extremely terrifying power and is also good at military warfare. Maybe he will become a leader in the future and become the emperor of Chu!"

Anyway,

It will never be the bitch's turn to be in that position.

Thinking of this,

Ji Wu lowered his head and covered his face.

He Bo then put his hands behind his back, walked around him twice, and even moved closer to see if Ji Wu was crying secretly.

Fortunately, Ji Wu was still very energetic. He raised his head and said something very disrespectful to the ghosts and gods, "Look at your ass!"

"I won't cry!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly!" He Bo wisely took two steps back and distanced himself from Ji Wu.

He asked the other party, "By the way, what kind of people do you think can be called despicable?"

"At least the family should make farming their profession."

Today's world,
In general, the area is still sparsely populated.
The princes carried out reforms and rewarded farming, so there was relatively no shortage of land.

Some hard-working families could even scrape together a sum of money to send their children to school to learn to read and write.

The greatest contradiction in the world,

There are still too many nobles who are born incompetent but sit high in the government, making it difficult for talented people of common origin to rise.

After all,

It’s still a question of “bloodline”!

But humans are not animals.
How can we really use bloodline to separate the upper and lower classes forever?
He Bo said "Oh", waved his hand to Ji Wu and said, "That's fine, you don't have to worry about the future, it will still be ruled by nobles!"

"Even if Chen Sheng was defeated, there would be people who would continue his work."

Not only that,

We also need to continue the work of the First Emperor!

Ji Wu had a bad feeling when he heard this, "Are you going to interfere in human affairs?"

otherwise,

Why are ghosts and gods so confident?
After hearing this, He Bo immediately became anxious.

He looked around but couldn't find any trace of the old ghost Ximen Bao.

Then the ghost said seriously, "Don't ruin my reputation!"

"I wouldn't do such a thing!"

"Ying Zheng begged me, but I didn't do anything. How could I interfere in the human world at a time like this?"

The First Emperor had a close relationship with ghosts and gods.

But what the other person did in the past and what he gets today is what he deserves.

Therefore,
When the First Emperor hoped in the underworld that the gods and ghosts would help him continue the Qin Dynasty's eternal rule, He Bo just laughed.

"If a person lives for a hundred years, then the ten thousand worlds will be a million years long!"

"In such a long time, the sea will turn into mulberry fields and the river will change its course!"

"I don't even dare to expect that, why are you so persistent?"

then,

Ying Zheng fell silent, finally letting out a sigh filled with mixed emotions, and said nothing more.

He Bo put his arm around Ji Wu's shoulders, patted his chest and said, "Be hopeful about the future!"

"Is the reason why I don't want to interfere with others because I am afraid of the old ghost Ximen Bao's nagging?"

"It's nothing more than trusting the wisdom of future generations."

As soon as he had an idea,
He brought Ji Wu to the final big bend of the Yellow River, where Fenglingdu was located.

Fenglingdu,
It is the place where the Yellow Emperor fought a great battle with Chi You according to legend.

Fenghou, who assisted Huangdi, died in that battle and was buried here, which was called "Fenghou Mausoleum".

Because it is the last bend of the Yellow River and the section where the Wei River merges into the Yellow River, it is also known as "Fenglingdu" by people.

He Bo and Ji Wu stood at the ferry, watching the turbulent Yellow River water collide and turn here, and then flow from south to north, from west to east, along the waterway to the sea.

A wind full of moisture came rushing over along with the waves.

The ghost pointed to the river and said, "The winding Yellow River flows into a new waterway right here."

“It’s the same in the human world!”

The river section above Fenglingdu,

It’s winding and wild, the currents are turbulent, and the ferry is dangerous.

But once you pass Fenglingdu,
The water dragon was quieted down, and the flow of water became slow and steady.

"Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the rule of nobles has been established for a long time."

"With the great changes of the Spring and Autumn Period, new forces have emerged."

"The latter are like the grass and trees in the mountains. Once they sprout, they are destined to push away the soil and rocks that press on their heads."

"This is the law of nature and cannot be changed by human will."

No matter how unwilling you are,
They will eventually have to accept the arrival of a new stage and a new era just like the Yellow River.

"So, don't dwell on the sadness in front of you, think about the future!"

"Chen Sheng was a pioneer. Even though he died before he could finish his business, he still paved a path for future generations."

With this,
Who dares not to take the common people of the world seriously?
"go!"

"Let me introduce you to a new spying target!"

"That person is definitely your type!"
