Chapter 326 Counter!
The relationship between these captains and Chen Qing can only be considered average.
Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, the captains who had a good relationship with him immediately glared at these people.
He seemed ready to take down the other person if they had a disagreement.
The centurions were terrified and nodded repeatedly. Then they took out the letter from their pockets and said,
"General, we are not here to cause trouble. We are willing to follow you. We will fight wherever you say we should fight."
Chen Qing's face looked grim. He took the letter and read it through with a serious look in his eyes.
"General, tell me, do you want to rebel?"
everyone asked.
Chen Qing took a deep breath and said,
“Now it’s not a question of whether we oppose or not, it’s a matter of life and death for us.
If my guess is correct, it's not just you who received the letter. I'm afraid all the centurions have received it.
There are three hundred captains in the entire army. If there is even one person who is not on the same page with us and reports this to any general, we will face an irreparable end.
We couldn't explain it clearly, and all the letters pointed at me. I had to either rebel or be killed by the general and his troops.
Those of you who received the letter will not be able to escape, and you will all die!"
When everyone heard this, they all gasped.
They only considered their own options, but did not expect that the current situation has forced them to rebel.
"Prime Minister, what a conspiracy! Either you rebel or you die."
Chen Qing smiled bitterly, then threw away his battle robe, picked up the helmet and put it on his head.
At this moment, there was a loud shout from outside the door.
"Chen Qing, get out!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw the general of their regiment riding on a horse with some guards, looking at them with a sneer.
"It came so quickly!"
Chen Qing gritted his teeth, picked up his silver spear, and led everyone outside.
The general looked at Chen Qing and sneered,
"Oh, you're quite well-equipped! It seems you're truly planning a rebellion. Chen Qing, in recognition of your hard work and contributions, I'll give you a chance. Bring the people behind you, lay down your weapons, tie your arms, and accompany me to meet His Majesty and apologize.
Perhaps His Majesty will show mercy and pardon your death sentence. If you remain stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."
Everyone looked at Chen Qing anxiously, waiting for his choice.
Chen Qing looked and found that behind the general, there was no soldier or horse except dozens of guards.
He snorted coldly, raised his head and looked at the general.
The general sneered,
"What? Are you still resisting? Don't you see whose military camp we are in..."
Whoosh!
The silver spear in Chen Qing's hand flew out at lightning speed and pierced into the general's chest in the blink of an eye.
The powerful momentum of the silver spear nailed the general to the ground.
"kill!"
Chen Qing shouted angrily, drew the sword at his waist, and rushed towards the guards.
The captains behind him also rushed forward immediately.
The guards were extremely panicked and fled in all directions, but were soon killed by the centurions.
Chen Qing shouted,
"Gather your troops and join me in the rebellion. Don't raise any flags except mine. The army will only recognize my flag!"
"As ordered!"
The captains dispersed and immediately went to gather their own troops.
Soon, all the soldiers from the dozen or so divisions gathered together.
Chen Qing also brought his guards and led these soldiers to kill towards the location of other corps.
They were extremely fast, and they wanted to kill as many generals as possible and recruit some captains and soldiers to their side before the generals came to attack them.
They first rushed to the general's tent in the neighboring military camp and directly hacked and killed the guards in front of the door.
The general came out in plain clothes and shouted,
"What are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"
Chen Qing stabbed the general to death with his spear and threw the body outside.
Then he quickly rushed to the next place.
"General Chen, are you planning a rebellion? Take me with you!"
The centurions they met on the road were leading their troops. When they saw Chen Qing holding up the banner, they immediately joined in.
Everyone who received the letter knows what happened.
Chen Qing started a rebellion.
Just rebel if you want to. If you are willing to sacrifice your life, you dare to bring down the emperor.
They killed seven or eight generals along the way and gathered almost all the people in the Second Legion.
Yuan Chu was right. Just a small spark would be enough to ignite the resentment of these Kun soldiers.
Such a big commotion had already attracted the attention of other generals and the Third Legion. After they heard the noise, they immediately summoned the army to prepare to quell the rebellion.
Seeing that the other side had reacted, Chen Qing stopped trying to assassinate the generals and instead led the army to charge and shout slogans.
"Kill the generals, destroy the powerful, punish the tyrants, and behead the corrupt officials!"
"The dog emperor gave all our military funds and food to the Yan people. Rebellion! Kill the dog emperor!"
"The dog emperor has killed all our relatives in the city. Rebellion, rebellion!"
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
As their shouts grew louder, more and more soldiers gathered together.
Chen Qing led the army to the center of the military camp's parade ground and struck the drum to gather the troops.
As the drums beat, all the troops in the camp began to move.
Whether they wanted to rebel or to suppress the rebellion, they all gathered together.
The dozen or so generals gathered together, pointed at Chen Qing and shouted,
"Chen Qing, are you planning a rebellion? Don't forget, this is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan!
Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. If you rebel, don't drag our soldiers into this. We only have so few people left!"
Chen Qing looked at them with a cold gaze, and then shouted,
"Brothers, you have all seen these days that the Emperor is incompetent and all the officials in the court are rats!
We have an army of 300,000, but they only want to cede land and pay compensation. They don't take the money themselves, but instead rob our own people of their money!
They killed our people and our relatives, and many of your families lived in Shengjing.
All your family’s money has been robbed, and all your relatives have been killed by the corrupt officials!
Not only did they kill our people and rob our money, they also gave our military funds to the Yan people. The next step is to give us food and fodder.
We have no military pay, we have no food to eat!
Why should we be loyal to such a tyrant?
Brothers! Kun people don't kill Kun people. Enough Kun people have died. Let's not fight among ourselves. Let's overthrow the imperial court and kill the tyrant! Kill all the powerful people who rob us!
"Brothers, come with me and kill your powerful general. From now on, you will be the powerful ones!"
"Princes, generals and ministers! I'd rather have the seed!"
"A hundred years of oppression, a day of reversal!"
"Kill the generals, destroy the powerful, punish the tyrants, and behead the corrupt officials!"
"Kill!"
