    Zhao Ping'an looked at his mobile phone, gradually becoming silent.

    This thing, in fact, is quite normal.

    Chen Sheng guesses and suspects his own surroundings, but believes outsiders because the people around him are more likely to reach higher positions.

    Ge Ying's high position is achieved by his own efforts, rather than being granted by Chen Sheng.

    Naturally, Chen Sheng would not feel at ease.

    For the same reason, outsiders, when their status improves, are granted by Chen Sheng as "I grant you a lower position with high status."

    This is quite different.

    Chen Sheng continued his march westward and soon reached the territory of Chen.

    When he reached the territory of Chen, the people there wholeheartedly welcomed him.

    Zhou Wen was an esteemed man in Chen. He had previously served under the army of Xiang Yan and also served under Chun Shen Jun.

    He claimed to be familiar with military strategy, so Chen Sheng appointed him as a general and tasked him with launching an attack on the Qin state to the west.

    Later, Chen Sheng discovered that Zhou Wen was originally a spy from the Qin state, and that he himself was from a military family within the Qin state.

    Killing Ge Ying and appointing Zhou Wen, led to a further collapse in the morale of the people of Zhang Chu, and others gradually stopped trusting Chen Sheng without any conditions.

    Zhou Wen recruited soldiers and horses during his campaign, and by the time he reached the pass, he had a thousand chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. They stationed at the Xi territory.

    The Qin state ordered the Minister of Finance Zhang Han to release the prisoners and slaves in Li mountain, and to conscript them all to fight against the Chu army.

    As a result, the Chu army was defeated completely.

    Zhou Wen was defeated in battle, fled through the pass, and stayed in Cao Yang for two or three months.

    Zhang Han chased and defeated him, Zhou Wen again fled to the Yanbi Pool, staying there for over ten days.

    Zhang Han attacked again, and completely defeated Zhou Wen.

    Zhou Wen committed suicide, and his army surrendered.

    The initial results of Qin Shi Huang's efforts to quell the rebellion have been achieved.

    At the same time, a man named Wu Chen became active in the long river of history.

    Wu Chen was one of the leaders of the peasant rebellion during the late Qin Dynasty. He originally came from Chen County, Chen, and had a relationship with Chen Sheng.

    After the establishment of the Zhuang Chu regime, Wu Chen was appointed as a general and, along with Zhang Er and Chen Yu, led an army to capture the area of Zhao.

    The army led by Wu Chen crossed the Yellow River at Bai Ma Jin and moved northward, expanding in size along the way. Ultimately, they captured ten cities in the territory of Zhao and were elected as the "Wu Xin Jun."

    After occupying Handan, Wu Chen was advised by Zhang Er and Chen Yu to establish himself as the King of Zhao. He appointed Chen Yu as the Grand Commander, Zhang Er as the Right Prime Minister, and Shao Suo as the Left Prime Minister.

    Chen Sheng was infuriated, arrested the families of Wu Chen and others, and wanted to execute them.

    The grand minister said, "The Qin Dynasty has not yet been overthrown, and we execute the commanders and families of the King of Zhao. This is equivalent to creating another enemy. It would be better to make him a king at this point."

    Therefore, Chen Sheng sent envoys to congratulate Zhao, and relocated the families of Wu Chen and others to the palace. At the same time, he bestowed Zhang Er's son, Zhang Ao, with the title of Chengdu Jun, and urged the troops of Zhao to quickly enter the pass.

    The King of Zhao and the commanders discussed: "Establishing our rule in Zhao does not align with the intentions of Chu. If Chu annihilates the Qin Dynasty, it will surely send troops to Zhao. We might as well not march westward but instead head north to invade the Yan territory to expand our territory."

    South of Zhao is a large river, while north of it are Yan and Daie. Even if Chu wins against the Qin, it would dare not act against Zhao.

    If Chu cannot defeat the Qin, it will certainly value Zhao.

    Zhao can exploit the weaknesses of the Qin to achieve its ambitions throughout the world.

    The King of Zhao believes that this plan is very reasonable and does not march westward, but instead sends the former Imperial official from Yue Valley, Han Guang, to lead the troops northward to invade Yan territory.

    At the same time, in Yan territory.

    In Yan territory, the old nobles and heroes told Han Guang, "Chu has established a king, and Zhao has also established a king."

    "Although Yan is small, it is a country with ten thousand war chariots. We hope that you can become the King of Yan."

    Han Guang said, "My mother is in Zhao. This is impossible."

    The people of Yan said, "Zhao is worried about the Qin to the west and Chu to the south, and it has no power to restrict us. Moreover, with Chu so powerful, it dare not harm the commanders and families of the King of Zhao. How could Zhao dare to harm your family!"

    Han Guang believes what they said, so he establishes himself as the King of Yan.

    Several months later, Zhao sent the mother and families of the King of Yan back to Yan.

    During this period, the expansion of territory by various commanders was numerous.

    Zhou Shi advanced northward to the territory of Di and Di people Tian Dan killed the Di ruler and established himself as the King of Qi, counterattacking Zhou Shi.

    Zhou Shi's army was defeated and he fled back to the territory of Wei. He wanted to establish Ningling Jun Jiu, a descendant of the Wei Dynasty, as the King of Wei.

    At that time, Jiu was with Chen Sheng and could not return to the territory of Wei.

    After the pacification of the Wei territory, people wanted to establish Zhou Shi as the King of Wei, but Zhou Shi declined.

    After five envoys went back and forth, Chen Sheng finally established Ningling Jun Jiu as the King of Wei, and sent him back to his country.

    Zhou Shi eventually became the Prime Minister.

    Commanders Tian Chang and others discussed: "The army of Zhou Zhang has been defeated, and the Qin army will soon arrive. We have been besieging the city of Xingyang but have not yet conquered it. If the Qin arrive, we will definitely be defeated."

    They decided to leave enough troops to defend Xingyang and use all their elite troops to confront the Qin army.

    They believed that the pseudo-king was proud and self-righteous, not versed in military strategy, and could not be consulted with. They thought that if he were not killed, the mission might fail.

    So they pretended to have received a royal command and killed Wu Shu, presenting his head to Chen Sheng.

    Chen Sheng sent an envoy to confer upon Tian Zhang the seal of the Prime Minister of Chu, appointing him as the Senior General.

    Tian Zhang then ordered commanders Li Gui and others to defend the city of Xingyang, while he led the elite troops westward at Ao Cang to confront the Qin army.

    After the battle, Tian Zhang was killed in action, and his army was defeated.

    Zhang Han's troops advanced to attack the army of Li Gui and others in Xingyang, defeated them, and Li Gui and others were killed in battle.

    Yang Chen people Deng said led troops to garrison in Tan, but Zhang Han's other generals defeated him. Deng said's army dispersed and returned to Chen County.

    Zhi people Wu Xu led troops to garrison in Xu, but Zhang Han defeated him. Wu Xu's army all dispersed and returned to Chen County.

    Chen Sheng executed Deng Shuo.

    When Chen Sheng first established himself as a king, Lining people Qin Jia, Xucheng people Dong Zhuan, Fu Li people Zhu Ji Shi, Qu Li people Zheng Bu, and Xu people Ding Ji all independently raised armies to besiege the Eastern Sea guard Chen Qing in Tan.

    By this time, the feudal lords of Shandong had risen in defiance, but Qin Shi Huang was still alive.

    Qin Shi Huang had spies in the territories of various feudal lords across the land. What he wanted was to catch them all at once and thus completely annihilate the remnants of the feudal lords of the six states!
