Chapter 582 Rebellion

Nanyang.

Wancheng.

It was a quiet night. In the dark night, a large number of soldiers were flowing on the streets.

This group of soldiers is well-trained, and the county soldiers in the city are no match for them. In the darkness, the guards were quickly eliminated by the group of soldiers, and a large number of rebellious soldiers gathered towards the county guard's office in the city.

There is a high wall surrounding the county governor's official office, and it is guarded by armored guards. They had discovered something unusual in the city and were about to send out a warning signal. However, before they could take any action, the dead soldiers who had already been ambushed rushed out from all around and assassinated the county soldiers in the mansion.

"Guardian, there is a rebellion in the city!"

The Nanyang County Sheriff had been handling the supplies shipped to Xingyang for the past two days and had not slept much. Now that he heard the warning from the county soldiers, he frowned and walked out with a shawl.

The courtyard was empty, but there were sounds of fighting all around.

what happened?

Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County. Unlike other county towns, the county soldiers guarding it are all the elite of the county, and their armor rate is not low.

But listening to the sounds around him, the sound of fighting was getting closer and closer.

In other words, the power guarding this official office is constantly being compressed.

Qin's system ultimately aimed to establish a bureaucratic system to control the central and local governments. However, in today's era, the distinction between official title and title is not yet clear.

Because most people who hold official positions carry titles with them. Even without a title, one is not allowed to join the officialdom.

However, as Qin's territory expanded day by day, Qin needed a large number of talents to fill the gaps in this bureaucratic system. The Shangjun method designed for farming and warfare gradually failed to adapt to the times and needed to be changed.

At the local level, there is more than one way to select Qin officials.

Non-commissioned officers with titles in the army who were not qualified to serve as officials in Xianyang would be assigned to local positions. In addition, the local government also tried to establish schools to train and evaluate Qin officials.

These assessments are very strict, mainly considering Qin Fa.

However, the war for Qin to dominate the world is not over yet, and a large proportion of local officials are still from the Qin army and are familiar with military affairs.

Nanyang County Sheriff is no exception.

He was aware and worried at the same time. Nanyang is the rear area. If something happens here, the first thing that can be ruled out is invasion by foreign enemies, and the more likely possibility is civil strife.

But the latter one may be more terrifying than the former one!

Wancheng's county soldiers are inconspicuous among the entire Qin army, but they are more than enough to deal with local bandits. But now, the sound of fighting in the Nanyang County Sheriff's ears reflected the one-sided situation.

Being able to possess such combat power, Nanyang County Sheriff thought of a terrible possibility in his mind!

A touch.

The door was opened, and a general in armor, surrounded by rebels, walked into the last place in the entire county where there was resistance.

Dozens of county soldiers in the courtyard gathered around the county guard, and the long swords in their hands looked a little weak against the long soldiers of these rebels.

"As expected, it's you, Lord Changwen!"

In Nanyang, there are still 20,000 field troops who are not under local jurisdiction. These troops were ordered by Guanzhong, but obviously, what this army is doing now cannot be an order from Xianyang.

"Changwenjun, you are deeply favored by the country, why do you want to rebel?"

"This is the place of Chu State, I just took it back again."

"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

Nanyang County Sheriff cursed, but saw Chang Wenjun smile.

"Where is your Sheriff's seal? Hand it over!"

Nanyang County Sheriff's expression changed. Guanzhong learned about the Nanyang Incident, but now the troops from all the major battalions in Guanzhong are on the front line. After the recruitment of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong is completed, it will inevitably take some time for the army to leave Wuguan to quell the chaos.

We must not let Chang Wenjun get the governor's seal! Otherwise, this rebel army can quickly control various counties and key passes in Nanyang without knowing the situation.

"Form up a formation and stop them!"

The Nanyang County Sheriff shouted loudly, and the remaining county soldiers gathered at the door, blocking the way. The Sheriff turned around, entered the room, hurried to the desk, and collected the Sheriff's seal and talisman.

With the title of Nanyang County Sheriff, he can already support scholars. At this time, he looked at the retainer with a sword beside him.

"There is a well in the backyard, and there is a secret passage in it that can lead to the outside of the government office. You take the talisman and leave quickly, taking advantage of the chaos in the city to sneak out of the city. Inform various places about Chang Wenjun's rebellion. In addition, please... "

The Nanyang County Sheriff paused and said.

"Go to Yongdi and ask Han Yangjun's Yu Lin army to come out from the east to quell the chaos."

"But will Han Yangjun's Yulin Army send troops?"

"There is nothing we can do at this time. This is the army that can support the fastest near Nanyang at this moment. The Yulin Army can go down the river and reach Nanyang in a few days."

Seeing that the resistance outside was getting weaker and weaker, the Nanyang County Sheriff shouted.

"Let's go!"

"Lord, come with me!"

"Do not talk nonsense."

The situation was critical at this moment, and Nanyang County Sheriff knew that if he escaped, the morale of the army would be chaotic, and no one would be able to leave in the end.

Seeing the abnormality in the room, Chang Wenjun frowned and waved his hand. The rebels armed with long soldiers launched another charge and headed towards the county soldiers.

Although there was no suspense in this battle, the opponent's tenacity still exceeded Chang Wenjun's imagination.

After spending some time, Chang Wenjun finally captured the government office, but looking at the empty official seal box, he couldn't help but frown.

"Chase!"

Chang Wenjun knew that they would not be able to occupy Nanyang for long, but there were some things he had to do.

"Quickly send a team of 1,000 men in the name of changing defenses to take over the Qin army guarding the Gongshu loser's machine workshop, capture the machine workshop, and destroy the three Poto Saburos."

"In addition, mobilize vehicles, collect livestock, and take away as much grain and grass as you can from the warehouses of Wancheng County. Burn the rest and never leave it to the Qin army."

"Immediately mobilize three thousand-man teams to go to the smelting city and take away the craftsmen and their families. In addition, destroy the smelting workshop and destroy the molds. All the weapons and arrows that have been made or will be made are destroyed. .”

…

After a series of intensive deployments, Chang Wenjun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Rebellion takes time. He didn't know what the chaotic situation in Guanzhong was like now. Could he quickly mobilize an army to get out of Guanzhong? He also didn't know when Zhao Shuang's army from Nanzheng would appear in Nanyang?

The situation was unpredictable, and he could only do what he could. But the most important thing among them is undoubtedly the three Poto Saburos in the public loser's machine workshop. These weapons of war, which cost huge sums of money and a lot of time to build, must not be allowed to appear on the next battlefield between Qin and Chu.

As allies of Jiwang Valley, the farmer and the people behind him, Chang Pingjun and others, knew the power of this large mechanism beast.

Most of the Mo family's heritage was inherited by Qin Mo, and there were not many large-scale machine beasts in Jiwang Valley. As of now, there are only a few machine-made white tigers and machine-made Suzakus left in total. But this is already beyond the reach of most forces in the world.

The men and horses dispersed, and the room smelled of blood.

Chang Wenjun walked out of the house, looked at the moonlight, and sighed.

"I hope Lian'er and the others can get out of seclusion smoothly!"
