Sima Qian traveled everywhere, why was he finally cheated by Chen Sheng and Guangwu?

Guangwu has a famous saying, Bobby Chen, that is, birds know the ambition of a swan! As soon as this sentence comes out, it immediately shows that these two people are ambitious and will definitely make great achievements in the future. In 209 BC, there were two ordinary people hiding in a slave team, led by Bobby Chen and Wei, and a general. Originally, the time for transporting these prisoners was relatively short, and in addition, there was heavy rain, so the trip was delayed. The people who led the team were in a hurry and complained to these slaves all day. Chen Sheng and nature couldn't stand it, so they hit this general Wei.

In Sima Qian's records, Chen Sheng and Guangwu colluded with a fortune-teller and hid the book in the stomach of a fish. Chen Sheng and Guangwu said that Chu would prosper, which is a lie. Moreover, the conditions of their uprising are also worth pondering, because the book Qin Law unearthed at that time seems that the criminal law of Qin State was really serious at that time. If the construction period is delayed, it will be punished. The longer the time, the heavier the punishment. However, if there are some force majeure factors, the punishment will be cancelled this time.

This is because the Qin dynasty had long considered the influence of uncontrollable weather on the completion of tasks when formulating laws. So if it rains heavily, we can avoid this punishment. Bobby Chen and Guangwu are really talented people. Made up a seemingly seamless reason to make others feel that they are the children of fate. Before compiling Historical Records, Sima Qian visited many local people to confirm this point. But because the time was too long, and the sentence that Chen Guang shouted at that time was too infectious, no one noticed these details.

In fact, Bobby Chen and Guangwu played these tricks. How did the peasant rebels play in the past dynasties? For example, Liu Bang also played such a trick, saying that he dreamed of a white snake, and so did Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When I was a child, a Taoist said that if I buried my parents here, I would be an emperor in the future. Sure enough, after that, his grandfather was buried here, and Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor. These are just one reason they found.
