Sima Qian in Han Dynasty
Original text:
Chen Shengsheng, a native of Yangcheng, is involved in words. Wu Guangzhe, Yang Xiaren, is an uncle. When Chen She was young, he tried to plow with people's servants, and he was disappointed for a long time in his fallow ridge. He said, "If you have money, you will never forget each other." The servant smiled and replied, "If you are a servant, how can you be rich?" Chen She sighed, "oh! Swallows know the ambition of swans! "
In July of the first year of the second year, the left guard Yuyang, 900 people in osawa township. Chen Sheng and Guangwu became captains of chariots. It will rain heavily, the road will be blocked, and the temperature has already been lost. When time is lost, the law will be cut. Chen Sheng and Guangwu said, "If you die today, you will die. How can you die if you wait to die? "
Chen Sheng said: "Ku Jin suffers all over the world. I heard that II had a younger son, but it was not done properly. It was done by his son Fu Su. Fu Su admonished foreign generals with several words. If you are not guilty today, you will be killed by II. Many people have heard of their sages, but they don't know their death. Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, made many contributions and loved foot soldiers. The Chu people pitied him. Or think of death, or think of death.
Today, I sincerely call myself Fu Su and Xiang Yan, and sing for the world, so I should respond more. "Light arms. The soothsayer knew what this meant. He said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and you have merit. However, the ghost of the first step! " Chen Sheng and Wu Guangxi, thinking about ghosts, said, "Let me show my ears first. "
It is written in Dan Shu that "Chen Shengwang" was put in the belly of a fish. Strangely, a pawn bought fish to cook and got a book in the fish's stomach. There is a bonfire in the temple next to Wu. what does the fox say said, "Chu Xing, Chen!" All the soldiers are afraid at night. On the day of his death, stroke often talked, all referring to Chen Sheng.
Wu Guang loves his wife, and his foot soldiers are mostly users. Drunk the captain, so he said he wanted to die, angered the captain and humiliated him to anger his public. Weiguo kuan Wei Jianting, widely circulated, captured and killed the captain. Chen Sheng assisted him and killed two commanders. The summoner said, "If it rains, it's overdue. Cut it off. Don't cut it first, but stick to it.
If a strong man dies, he will have fame, and princes will have descendants! All the disciples said, I respect your commands. "Fu Su and Xiang Yan, the two sons, are pretending to obey the people. To the right is called Dachu. Alliance altar, sacrifice to the captain. Bobby Chen became a general and Guangwu became a captain. Attack osawa Township, and then attack. In this case, Commander Ying Ge turned his soldiers to the east.
Attack, hairpin, bitter, zhe, qiaocheng all fall. Line back, than to Chen, six or seven hundred by car, riding a thousand, tens of thousands of people died. When attacking Chen, Chen Shouling was away, and he was fighting alone. Fu Sheng and Shou Cheng died according to Chen. A few days later, the monastery called three elders, heroes and everyone to the finance room.
The three elders and all the heroes said, "The general is determined to win, and the attack is invincible. He has destroyed Qin and rebuilt Chu, so he deserves to be king." Make Chen She king, posthumous title Zhang Chu. At this time, all the counties harmed by Qin officials were punished by their officers and killed in response.
Translation:
Bobby Chen is from Yangcheng. Guangwu is from Yang Xia. When Chen She was young, he was hired to farm the land with others. He once stopped farming and went to rest on the high ground of the ridge. He complained for a long time in frustration and said, "If anyone has money in the future, don't forget each other."
The hired companion smiled and replied, "As a farmer, how can you be rich?" Chen Sheng sighed and said, "Alas, how do sparrows know the ambition of swans?"
In July of the first year of Qin Ershi, the court recruited the poor to station in Yuyang, and stationed 900 people in osawa Township. Chen Sheng and Guangwu were incorporated into the garrison and served as captains of chariots. It happened to rain heavily and the road was blocked. I guess it was delayed. Anyone who misses the deadline should be beheaded according to law.
Chen Sheng and Guangwu discussed, "If you run away now, you will die. If you start an uprising, you will die. Is it okay to die for national affairs? " Chen Sheng said: "People all over the world have been ruled and persecuted by the Qin Dynasty for a long time. I heard that Qin Ershi, the youngest son of Qin Shihuang, should not be an emperor, but a childe Fu Su.
Because Fu advised Sue many times, the emperor sent him out to lead troops. Now some people hear that he is innocent, but Qin Ershi killed him. Most people heard that he was clever, but they didn't know that he was dead. Xiang Yan is a general of Chu. He has repeatedly made meritorious military service and cared for soldiers. People in Chu love him very much.
Some people think he is dead, others think he has run away. Now, if we pretend to be the team of childe Fu Su and Xiang Yan, as the first team in the world, there should be many people responding. "Guangwu thinks he is right. So they went to divination. Knowing their intentions, the fortune teller said, "You can succeed in all your major events and build your achievements.
But, have you asked ghosts and gods? Bobby Chen and Guangwu are very happy. They thought about the diviner and said, "This is just to teach us to intimidate people with ghosts and gods." So he wrote "Chen" on the silk book with vermilion and put it in the belly of the fish caught by others. The soldiers bought fish and cooked it. When they found the silk book in the fish's stomach, they were already stunned by it.
Chen Sheng secretly sent Guangwu to the temple in the jungle next to the station. At night, he carried a lantern and shouted with a fox's shrill voice: "Great Chu will prosper, and Chen Sheng will be king." The soldiers were afraid all night. The next day, the soldiers talked about it, just pointing at each other and pointing at Bobby Chen.
Guangwu always cares about soldiers, and most soldiers are willing to listen to him. One day, the general commander who escorted the soldiers was drunk. Guangwu deliberately said many times that he wanted to escape, which made the general commander very angry and made him insult himself to anger the soldiers. Can Wei really use bamboo boards to fight Guangwu? Guangwu drew his sword to kill Guangwu, jumped up, snatched the sword and killed the captain.
Chen Sheng assisted him and killed two commanders together. So Chen Sheng summoned his men and ordered them to say, "You all missed the deadline in the heavy rain, and if you missed the deadline, you will be beheaded. If you can only avoid being beheaded, six or seven out of ten people must have died on the frontier fortress. Besides, if a strong man dies, he will gain great fame. Will princes have natural noble species? "
All the subordinates said, "I am willing to obey your orders." So they pretended to be childe Fu Su and Xiang Yan's team and obeyed the wishes of the people. Everyone showed their right arm as a symbol of the uprising, which was called Dachu. Build a high platform with mud, swear on it, and sacrifice the heads of the two generals to heaven. Chen Sheng was appointed general and Guangwu was appointed captain.
They attacked osawa Township, incorporated the rebels into osawa Township and then attacked Qixian County. After capturing Qi, he led the army to capture the east of Qixian, and Chen Sheng captured Luo, Zhou, Zhe and Qiao, and captured them. Recruit soldiers along the road during the March. When we arrived in Chen county, there were six or seven hundred chariots, more than one thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of soldiers.
When attacking Chen county, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were absent, and only the defenders led the troops to fight against the insurgents in the city gate cave. Guarding the city can't win, and the soldiers are defeated and die. The insurgents enter the city and occupy Chen County. A few days later, Chen Sheng ordered a meeting of local discipline officials and talented squires.
The country officials and gentry all said, "General, you are wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. According to your contribution to cracking down on the cruel Qin Dynasty and restoring the founding of Chu, you should be crowned king." So Chen Sheng was made king and declared to expand Chu. At this time, all the people who suffered from Qin officials in each county rose up to punish the local county officials and killed them in response to Chen Sheng.
