Chen Xu did not dare to neglect his clothes, so he washed his hands and wiped his mouth and ordered the carriage to go to the Ministry of War.

"Marty, I'm afraid there are rebels in other counties, otherwise the emperor would not be so anxious!" Chen Ping said with a serious expression.

"Brother Chen said it's right. The Xiang family has been in the army for at least half a month. Someone in the southeastern counties must respond..."

Xiao He, Liu Bang and Zhou Bo also stood up and wiped their hands and interrupted. This delicious dog meat meal must be impossible now.

"Well, you can go to the Ministry of War with me. If the emperor asks, you can also help me explain it!" Chen Xu strode out while tidying up his clothes. After Chen Ping and others looked at each other, they all showed joy on their faces and surrounded Chen Xu and went out together.

Two moments later, Chen Xu brought Chen Ping and others a total of four carriages to the Ministry of War. At this time, more than ten carriages with double bridles or even four bridles were parked in the yard in front of the military department. It was obvious that they were all important officials in the court. When Chen Xu arrived, many generals wearing brocade robes, martial arts crowns and even armor came on horseback. The noise of coming and going from the entire military department was heard.

While Chen Xu bowed to the civil and military officials who got out of the car and got off the horse, he took Chen Ping and others into the lobby of the Ministry of War.

In the center of the lobby was a huge sand table. At this time, there were already circles of civil and military officials and court officials around the sand table, and some people joined in one after another. Wei Liao, the commander of the Ministry of War, was standing beside the emperor, pointing at the southeastern counties on the sand table for explanation. Among them, a small red flag was planted near Wuzhong and Shouchun.

"Qinghe Marquis is here~" As the eunuch heard the message, all the civil and military officials around the sand table turned around and looked up at Chen Xu who was coming in.

"My dear friend is here. I just received an urgent report from Jiujiang County. The bandit leader Zhou Yin gathered more than a thousand rebels to attack the county town Shouchun but failed. He has gathered people to retreat to the south and has captured the siege. I heard that the number of rebels has exceeded 2,000..."

Qin Shihuang pointed at a little anxiously at a small red flag planted near Shouchun.

Rebellion is not scary. The emperor has the confidence to solve these little scoundrels who jumped up. In fact, this kind of thing was already expected. Because the anti-Qin forces in various places have never been cut off. Bandits are rampant in the wilderness. He traveled the world several times, Fengshan Mountain, and worshiped ghosts and gods from all over the world. The purpose is to constantly declare his great military achievements and military power to the people, and engrave inscriptions everywhere to promote his benevolence, so as to shock the anti-Qin forces in the world to win the hearts of the people. Because according to historical records in later generations, the emperor basically did not have a tour once.

There will be various mysterious and mysterious events every time, such as the wind and waves of Dongting Lake, the storm of Ying Huo Guarding the Heart, the handwriting of the Shin Emperor's death from the sky appeared in the sky, and the jade bi that the mysterious man worshiped the ancestor dragon to die this year, etc. During the tour, various mysterious and strange events emerged one after another, and even assassination and attack on the headquarters were not uncommon. These are actually the rebel forces in various places that are constantly creating chaos. Although Qin Shihuang was angry, he just arranged people to investigate and often returned in vain in the end, and Qin Shihuang did not take it too seriously.

But this time, the rebellion in the southeastern counties suddenly did not say, and according to Chen Xu, it was because Chen Xu himself leaked the secret of heaven, and the secret of heaven was because he went to the East China Sea to find Lu Sheng and other alchemists, which caused the disaster caused by the precepts and books that appeared in advance.

Therefore, Qin Shihuang was worried that his actions had caused the wrath of the gods, and the two consecutive rebels were reported urgently in one day, which made him feel a little nervous.

"Zhou Yin?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and looked at a small flag that was planted near Shouchun and was slightly surprised.

Although he didn't know much about the character Zhou Yin, he still knew that he was also a very famous person, and he was considered a general under Xiang Yu. However, he also rebelled and defected to Liu Bang. However, Zhou Yin, Yingbu and Chen Ping and others were completely dispensable.

"Zhou Yin is a descendant of the former Zhou royal family, and is a powerful Chu country. He is similar to Ji Bu and others. There are many rangers and idle men gathered around him!" An official next to him explained.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Yin rebelled, and the counties of Hengshan, Chen County, Si Shui, and Donghai, which are neighboring Jiujiang, may be affected. There may be more rebels causing chaos. If they cannot be extinguished in time, they will soon affect Nanyang, Sanchuan, and Dang County. Please arrange people to kill them in time!" An official said.

"There are three thousand lieutenants in Shouchun, plus more than a thousand police officers, and there are also lieutenants in nearby counties. The magistrate of Jiujiang County must have summoned to attack the rebels of Zhou Yin, but I am afraid that it will lead to civil rebellion in the past too long!" said another official.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xiongshan will leave the capital tomorrow, mobilize 6,000 troops along the way to Wancheng, and send troops from Nanyang to Chen County to suppress the rebels. The people along the way will surely be at ease. Even if there is a civil unrest, it will subside. Your Majesty, please do not worry too much. It takes more than a month to wipe out Zhou Bo!" Wei Liao said calmly.

"Well, what the Wei Army said is reasonable. Shouchun is close to the heartland of the Central Plains, and there are soldiers stationed in all counties on all sides. Zhou Yin will definitely not be able to accomplish anything. What I am worried about is Kuaiji County!" Qin Shihuang turned his attention to the territory of Wuzhong.

"Your Majesty, the Xiang family's rebels are only more than 2,000. In addition, if they fail to attack Wuzhong, they will inevitably cross Zhejiang and retreat to the south. They may destroy the boats and delay the pursuit of Wuzhong soldiers, leaving them with plenty of time to escape. The most important thing is that the Xiang family's uprising was too sudden, and the Jiangdong areas must be unprepared. I am afraid that Hangzhou, Zhuji, Puyang and other counties will be robbed by bandits, and the people along the way will inevitably flee in panic, which will cause great panic among the people..." Wei Liao used a bamboo pole to point a few times to the south to speculate on the retreat route of Xiang's family and the situation along the way.

As a first-class military master in the Qin Dynasty, Wei Liao was in charge of the Ministry of War. Although he had few opportunities to participate in the war, his vision was very fierce, and the guesswork was almost the same as Xiang Liang's current situation.

"The Wei Army Department's deduction was very reasonable, but after Zhuji, it was the border between central Fujian. Why did the Xiang family retreat here? Although the central Fujian recovered a large area, the Yue people did not submit to Wang Hua. What's more, the poor mountains and bad waters in central Fujian had no support, and Gao Yi, the county magistrate of central Fujian, had thousands of soldiers. They were going to force themselves into a dead end!"

"Haha, this is the reason I advised Your Majesty not to worry just now. After all, Xiang is a group of mobs and his vision is not clear. If it is Xiang Liang, if it fails to conquer Wuzhong, it will inevitably advance northwest, attack the county town along the river to strengthen its forces, and then attack the hinterland of the old Chu to recruit soldiers and horses, the entire Jiangdong will fall into violent turmoil. Now they retreat southward but want to use Zhejiang as a natural danger to stabilize their position. This is just a death sentence!" Wei Liao smiled relaxedly.

"The Ministry of War, Xiang's army retreated to the south of Zhejiang. Although it seemed that they were deadly, they could not resist the pressure from all sides. When retreating to the border of central Fujian, as long as they captured a few counties to stabilize their position, they could also recruit soldiers and wait for the changes in the situation in the Central Plains. If there were people who responded to the Central Plains, they would inevitably be in chaos in the Central Plains, and they could return to cooperate. In this way, they would gain momentum in the chaos. If they attacked the counties in Jiangdong, there would be no danger to defend and could only escape everywhere. When the Wuling Army and the army of Xiongshanhou attacked each other on both sides, there would be no way to live. Xiang's arrangement was so he was probably preparing to retreat into the Fujian-yue Mountain to delay time!" Chen Ping, who was standing beside Chen Xu, couldn't help speaking.

"It turns out to be Secretary Chen. I didn't expect you to be proficient in military tactics!" Wei Liao realized as soon as he thought about it, but he shook his head and said, "The Xiang family retreated into Minyue, not to mention that there were still thousands of troops strangled, and once they entered Minyue, it became a dead end, and there was no threat to the Central Plains. Once time came, they would naturally be slowly wiped out."

"The Wei Army said it is right, but that will only consume more food and grass. The best way is to force or lure them to move from the border of Minyue to Jiujiang, and then mobilize Wuling and Kuaiji troops to trap them in a flat land. If the army of Xiongshan Hou crosses the river and attacks from all sides, the Xiang family will definitely disappear completely without any disaster!"

"What do you think?" Qin Shihuang turned his head and looked at the civil and military officials around the sand table.

Although Chen Ping was not an official in the court, he had a title of a doctor. Moreover, the Daqin Metropolitan Daily now had a growing influence on the people like the mouthpiece of the Daqin court. Chen Ping was sometimes recruited by the emperor to listen to the politics and discuss politics. Now he came with Chen Xu. Therefore, the emperor did not express his dissatisfaction, and a group of officials would not argue. After Chen Ping and Wei Liao finished speaking, the emperor asked, and all the officials began to think about which method was better or that some people had put forward different opinions. However, there was no good result after the noise. Some people supported Wei Liao and some supported Chen Ping. However, Xiang was just a small group of bandits, and almost all the officials did not take it too seriously. In the end, the emperor did not express his opinions and returned to the palace.

Because he followed Chen Xu's arrangement and prepared to use Wang Ben to take action, he just waited for Wang Ben to arrive. As the Great Qin army god who swept across the six kingdoms, he would naturally give the emperor a satisfactory answer.

In the evening of that day, Wang Ben hurried into Xianyang from Pinyang to meet the emperor. He talked with the emperor for half an hour before leaving the palace, and then came to visit Chen Xu.

Chen Xu talked about his understanding of Xiang and Chen Ping's analysis. Wang Ben quickly left the Qinghe Marquis Mansion without much attention and took Han Xin away, because Chen Xu found that Han Xin was indeed smart and very good at studying, staying in Xianyang was a disaster. He almost never fell into the house all day long, and drank with a group of idlers in Quyuan in Xianyang. He saw that the war god of later generations would be completely destroyed in two years, so Chen Xu decided to take this opportunity to let him follow Wang Ben to suppress the bandits and practice gilding. The most important thing is that he also wanted to see Han Xin's military talent. Under the eyes of the general Wang Ben, he could quickly judge whether it was a dragon or a worm.

Moreover, Han Xin is not young at the moment, he is already sixteen years old. When he was fourteen, he had already become a Lidian in Qinghe Town and started fighting with bandits. As a barbaric era, Han Xin should be more comfortable in the life of the army. And only by going to the battlefield to fight can he truly see his ability. If he is really a powerful general, he will not be able to bury talents in the future. If Han Xin, the rebel who wiped out Xiang Liang this time, can make a small contribution and receive some tips and praise from Wang Ben, he may grow up soon, so that Chen Xu can also have an extra helper in the army. Ying Bu and Jiang Hu are outsiders after all, and they are not easy to command many things.

On the second day, several more urgent reports came from Kuaiji and the southeastern counties. According to Jiang Heng's report, the Xiang rebels indeed captured Hangzhou and crossed Zhejiang, and burned boats, causing the Kuaiji soldiers to be unable to cross the river to chase. The situation was still under investigation. Other urgent reports also reported that there were bandits in the surrounding counties and counties, with a small number of more than tens of hundreds, and the attacks on the county towns and towns suffered losses, but most of them had been extinguished by local military and police, and some larger forces began to flee elsewhere. In the urgent reports of Jiujiang County Magistrate, the bandit leader Zhou Yin captured the county magistrate and other officials, and then was attacked by Jiujiang County Magistrate. More than 300 bandits had died and injured, and then they had escaped to Huoshan.

After the news came, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to urging Tu Sui to quickly carry the military talismans and the military letters, he also asked Wang Ben to lead the three thousand lieutenants and imperial troops to then press the army to command the soldiers of the southern counties to prevent accidents.

As Chen Xu said, the faster the rebellion, the better. The longer it will be, the more unfavorable it will be for the Qin Dynasty and the more turbulent the people will be.

Seeing that the emperor not only used Xiongshan Hou, but also dispatched the Tongwu Hou who had almost been discharged from his army and returned to the field, the civil and military officials of the court and the people of Xianyang calmed down all of a sudden. So Xianyang soon sang, danced, and ate, drank and had fun as before. The streets and alleys were filled with laughter and joy again. The merchants and civilians seemed to have not been affected by the rebellion in the south at all. Even the nobles of the six kings trapped in Xianyang were very calm, without any restlessness or anxiety. It seemed that the rebellion had nothing to do with them, because they were all busy enjoying the prosperous times of Xianyang, and they felt a little happy.
