Chen Ye is a native of Yangcheng, so the word involved.

Bobby Chen is from Yangcheng. Guangwu is from Yang Xia. When Chen She was young, he was employed to farm with others. Chen She stopped farming and went to the highlands of Tanobe. He sighed and hated for a long time because of disappointment, saying, "If anyone has money, don't forget each other." The hired hand replied derisively, "You are just a man hired to farm the land. Where did you get rich? " Chen She sighed and said, "Alas, how can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!" "

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), the emperor recruited the poor to settle in Yuyang, and 900 people stayed in osawa Township. Chen Sheng and Guangwu were both incorporated into the garrison and served as the chief of the garrison. It happened that there was a heavy rain and the road was blocked. I guess it was delayed. Anyone who misses the deadline will be beheaded according to Qin law. Chen Sheng and Guangwu discussed, "Now running away is death, and uprising is death. It is also death. Do you want to die for national affairs? " Chen Sheng said: "The people have been ruled by the Qin Dynasty for a long time. I heard that Qin Ershi, the youngest son, should not be the emperor, but the eldest son, Fu Su. Because Fu advised Sue many times, the emperor sent him out to lead troops. Now some people have heard that Fu Su is innocent, but I killed him. Most people have heard of his wisdom, but they don't know that he is dead. Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State, has repeatedly made meritorious military service and cared for soldiers. The Chu people like him very much. Some people think he is dead, others think he has run away. Now, if our people are asked to call on the world in the name of Fu Su and Xiang Yan, there should be many people responding. " Guangwu thinks he is right. So I went to divination. The fortune teller knew what it meant and said, "All things can be accomplished, and achievements can be built. But have you asked ghosts and gods? " Bobby Chen and Guangwu are very happy. They thought about the diviner and said, "This is to teach us to subdue everyone first." So he wrote the word "Chen" on the silk book with vermilion and put it in the belly of the fish caught by others with a net. The soldier bought the fish and cooked it. When he found the letter in the fish, he naturally blamed it. Chen Sheng secretly sent Guangwu to the temple in the jungle next to the military station, and shouted "Chu Xing, Chen Wangsheng" with a piercing voice that drowned the fire, and learned to howl like a fox. The soldiers were in panic all night. The next day, the soldiers talked about it everywhere, pointing at each other and gesturing to Bobby Chen with their eyes.

Guangwu usually cares about the people around him, while soldiers are more willing to listen to Guangwu's orders. The escorting officer (garrison soldier) was drunk. Guangwu deliberately said many times that he wanted to escape, which made a captain very angry and made him blame and humiliate him, thus angering everyone. The police officer used a bamboo board to fight guangwu. When the officer's sword was drawn, Guangwu jumped up, grabbed the sword and killed him. Chen Sheng assisted Guangwu and killed two officers together. Chen Sheng summoned his men and said, "You were all caught in heavy rain, which exceeded the stipulated time limit for reaching Yuyang. If you are late, you will be beheaded. Even if they can only be exempted from execution, 67% of the people died defending the frontier fortress, accounting for 67%. What's more, it's just that a gentleman never dies, and when he dies, he will achieve something great! Are those princes born expensive? " Everyone at the bottom said, "obey (your) orders!" So (Chen Guang) pretended to be the team of childe Fu Su and Xiang Yan, and obeyed the wishes of all. Exposing the right arm is called Da Chu. Build a platform (with earth) and swear to sacrifice the heads of the two captains to the sky. Chen Sheng was appointed general and Guangwu was appointed captain. Attack osawa Township, retreat and attack Qixian County. After capturing Qixian, Ying Ge led the army to capture the east of Qixian. The five counties of Luo, Yan, Zhe and Qiao all fell. Along the way, the troops were incorporated. When we arrived in Chen county, there were six or seven hundred chariots, more than one thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of foot soldiers. When attacking Chen county, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were not in the city, and only the officials guarding the city fought against the insurgents in the cave of the city gate. The insurgents could not be defeated for a while, but later the garrison was killed and the army occupied Chen County. A few days later, Bobby Chen called the local township officials and prestigious people to discuss important matters. These people said with one voice, "General, you went into battle dressed up and held a weapon. As far as your merits are concerned, you should be king." Chen Sheng established himself as king and named his country "Zhang Chu". At the same time, people who were oppressed by officials in counties and counties of Qin Dynasty also revolted in succession, responding to Chen Sheng's call to punish and kill local officials.
