The army marched past the edge of the village.

Han Xin turned his eyes and saw a person kneeling there, weeping bitterly, tears streaming down his face and falling into the dust.

The army did not stop, but continued to advance along the road ahead.

Along their journey, they have seen far too much, far too many people who could not go on living.

They won't care, and they can't care.

As the army marched past, the woman knelt there, not far from the side of the army, and wept for a long time.

The sound of weeping echoed through the army.

The news reached the ears of everyone present.

Han Xin closed his eyes, exhaled, raised his hand, and the army behind him suddenly stopped.

At the front of the army, Han Xin rode on his horse.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the officer beside him. He simply waved his hand, and the officer withdrew in response.

Not long after,

The woman was then brought before Han Xin.

"What happened?" Looking at the woman below, Han Xin lowered his eyes and asked softly.

"I...."

The woman spoke, then choked back tears, "My child... he's been taken away!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Han Xin let out a breath, looked at the person next to him, raised his hand, and then waved it downwards.

Before long, soldiers brought a man over.

Behind them, a soldier was holding a child. When the woman saw the child, she rushed over to him.

She held her child tightly in her arms, crying.

"General." At this moment, the soldier escorting the man raised his head and looked at Han Xin.

"When we apprehended him, he was washing a pot."

Han Xin fell silent upon hearing this.

He snatched a child away and then immediately started washing pots and pans. Isn't it obvious what he's trying to do?

"No!" Just then, the man who was being forced to kneel not far in front of Han Xin raised his head.

Looking at Han Xin, he said, "I'm not stealing, I'm exchanging."

As he spoke, his hands were bound and he couldn't move.

But his gaze was fixed on a motionless girl lying in front of a house not far away.

"I traded my daughter for her!"

A soldier walked over, bent down, squatted down next to the girl, and reached out to feel her.

Finally, they came back.

Looking at Han Xin on horseback, he shook his head.

Han Xin closed his eyes, raised his hand, and pointed at the kneeling man: "Drag him away and kill him!"

"Yes, sir." The soldier obeyed and dragged him away.

Not long after, a scream came from afar.

Han Xin let out a breath, looked at the woman standing there holding the child, and ordered that she be given three shi of millet.

Then, he ordered the army to continue advancing!

This kind of thing happens everywhere; wherever the rebel army has looted, not a single grain of food will be left.

The only way to survive was to join the rebels.

As for those who did not follow...

At first, they could eat grass roots and tree bark to fill their stomachs, but in the end, the grass roots and tree bark would soon be gone.

All that remained was the option of exchanging children for food.

Han Xin rode in front on his horse, the old sword at his waist hanging down beside the horse, swaying as he walked.

Looking at the desolate surroundings, Han Xin thought to himself.

"Therefore, only by quickly quelling all the chaos can the world return to normal and such things never happen again!"

At this moment, Han Xin had no other thoughts in his mind.

..............

at the same time.

Chen Sheng called on the people to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, and the whole country responded.

Seeing people everywhere killing Qin officials in response to the uprising, Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji, was restless day and night and could not sleep.

In the end, I didn't sleep a wink all night.

The next day, an order was issued to summon Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang was highly respected in the Kuaiji and Wuzhong areas, and he often took charge of organizing labor services and funerals.

Therefore, Yin Tong frequently interacted with him.

"Prefect".

A voice came from behind him.

Yin Tong turned around; his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked rather listless.

"Mr. Xiang."

Coming to his senses, Xiang Liang turned around.

He then walked behind a table and raised his hand to indicate, "Sir, please come forward and take a seat."

Nodding, Xiang Liang walked to the table.

Without saying a word, the two sat down. After a long while, Yin Tong finally lost his composure and spoke first.

"Now the world is in rebellion, this is Heaven's will to destroy Qin. I have heard that the one who acts first controls others, and the one who acts later is controlled by others."

"Oh?" Xiang Liang raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Yin Tong, and remained silent for a long time. "I wonder what the Prefect wants to say?"

"Ha." He chuckled. "Sir, you speak frankly and frankly."

But then his expression turned serious. "I intend to raise an army to protect myself and respond to the uprising!"

As he spoke, his eyes turned to Xiang Liang.

"Sir, I wish to appoint you and Huan Chu as generals. What do you say?"

After a moment of silence, Xiang Liang nodded, but then, as if remembering something, he raised his hand.

"Prefect," he said, then thought for a moment, "Huan Chu is currently a fugitive, known only to my nephew."

"On the run?"

Yin Tong frowned and pondered for a moment.

But in the end, he sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Fine, then summon your nephew over."

He then gestured outwards, and someone went to inform them.

But not long after, a tall young man walked in, looked around, and went over.

Standing beside Xiang Liang, he nodded: "Uncle."

But before Xiang Liang could respond, Yin Tong, somewhat impatient, looked at Xiang Yu who was standing there and said.

"Your uncle says you know Huan Chu's whereabouts; report to him immediately."

Xiang Yu was stunned for a moment, and stood there.

But in that split second, Xiang Liang suddenly stepped back and shouted, "Yu'er, you can make your move!"

I heard Xiang Liang's voice.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiang Yu drew his sword from his waist and swung it forward, causing Yin Tong's head to roll to the ground.

Upon hearing the noise, someone rushed in from outside.

Upon seeing the heads on the ground, chaos erupted. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiang Yu charged forward with his sword!

for a long time.

With one person falling, no one dared to step forward.

The ground was littered with the scattered corpses of county soldiers, lying haphazardly, numbering an estimated hundred or so.

Standing amidst the corpses, Xiang Yu was covered in blood.

Just then, Xiang Liang came out carrying Yin Tong's head and the seal of the prefect.

He looked around at the people and shouted loudly.

"The tyrannical Qin dynasty is without virtue, and the whole world should condemn it. Now, we offer sacrifices to the heads of the commanderies to rally the people in rebellion, to overthrow Qin and restore Chu!"
