Liu Bang had three thousand people and began to fight the world.
Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's battle to destroy Qin was the main plan
At that time, troops rose up everywhere to rebel against Qin. Most of them are descendants of the great powers of the former Warring States period, and they have an armed base. Like Xiang Liang, a descendant of the former Chu general Xiang Yan. Xiang Yu was his nephew. The people of Chu are very nostalgic for King Huai of Chu [Note: There are two kings of Chu Huai in Chinese history, one is Xiong Huai, the king of Chu Huai during the Warring States period, who was deceived and died in the Qin State; the other is Xiong Xin at the end of Qin, who was initially established as the "King of Chu Huai" and later revered as the "Righteous Emperor", the spiritual leader of the "Dead Qin" War, and later murdered by Xiang Yu], and they raised an army to restore the Chu State as a call. In addition, there are self-reliant Kings of Qi, Yan, and Wei.
King Huai of Chu
Liu Bang's team, with a Fan Duo, was extremely brave and fierce, and later became a famous general, Xiao He and Cao San, who could plan military affairs, and Xiao He later became a famous minister. But when this team was first established, this group of people was not yet mature, but it actually stood firm and slowly became famous.
Fan Duo
They first attacked Huling and other places, and in Feng, they defeated the Qin army. Liu Bang led his troops to fight Xue, and ordered Yongya to guard Feng. At this time, Yongya betrayed Liu Bang and returned the place of Feng to Wei. This was a major setback for Liu Bang.
Liu Bang went to vote for the King of Chu, and on the way he got Zhang Liang, who became an important courtier. In this place, he fought with the Qin soldiers for three days and won the battle. Six thousand defeated soldiers were collected, and a team of nine thousand people was formed. Xiang Liang gave him five thousand soldiers and ten generals, and liu Bang was strong. Turn around and fight Again, fight down. The rebel general Yongya went to surrender to Wei.
Zhang liang
Liu Bang had become a powerful army under Xiang Liang. Together with Xiang Liang, the grandson of King Huai of Chu (Mingxin) was made king, still called King Huai of Chu, to strengthen his appeal.
At this time, the strongest of the Qin army was Zhang Handan's team. Xiang Liang fought several victorious battles against Zhang Handan. Xiang Liang was a little proud, and as a result, in the place of Dingtao, he was attacked by Zhang Handan at night, lost the battle, and Xiang Liang was killed.
Zhang Handan
At this time, the Chu army was being led by Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to attack Chen Liu. Hearing the news of defeat, the soldiers panicked. They led the army to Pengcheng. Straightened it out. Xiang Yu did the Marquis of Chang'an and Liu Bang did the Marquis of Wu'an, forming two main forces.
At this time, the Qin army Zhang Handan thought that the Chu army was no longer enough, and went north to fight King Zhao. King Zhao asked King Huai of Chu for help. King Huai of Chu decided to go north to save Zhao. Song Yi was sent as a general, Xiang Yu as a second general, and Fan Zeng as the last general. They will also fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Qin army Zhang Handan to save Zhao. Qin's native Hangu Pass [Note: Hangu Pass is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses built in Chinese history, because it is in the valley and as dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. This was once an ancient battlefield where war horses roared, known as "one husband dang guan, ten thousand fu mo kai" to the west, called Guanzhong, the king of Chu Huai and the generals agreed: "The first to enter the fixed guanzhong, the king". Be the King of Guanzhong.
Hangu Pass
Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Handan at Julu, and the momentum was greatly enhanced. At that time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were scrambling to enter the pass first, but Liu Bang took a step ahead, and the Prince of Qin surrendered to him. As a result, the contradiction between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu grew bigger.
Battle of Julu
At this time, we can pause for a while, as a paragraph, to see the situation at that time.
At that time, among the anti-Qin armies, Xiang Yu's combat effectiveness was the strongest, he controlled the King of ChuHuai, and his appeal was also there. However, at that time, King Huai of Chu and the veteran generals were inclined to Liu Bang. They were not satisfied that "Xiang Yu was a tough man", and when they attacked Xiangcheng, "Xiangcheng had no class, and everywhere they passed was destroyed." Now, entering the Qin Pass, it should be an elderly person, "helping the righteous and going west", with the principle of righteousness, to "warn Father and Brother Qin, who has suffered for a long time." Only by disintegrating the hearts of the people of the Qin state in this way can we win victory. Moreover, these veterans believe that Liu Bang is a "generous elder" and is competent.
Supporting righteousness and going west shows that Liu Bang has always had a kind of appeal that conforms to "righteousness". What Liu Bang has always said is: "The world is bitter Qin Jiuyi", "Qin father and brother are bitter Qin Jiuyi"! It is to oppose the tyranny of Qin.

At that time, those who rose up against Qin all used anti-tyranny as their slogan. But on the other hand, what's next to do. This, which is now clearly understood, has two major tendencies. First, it is necessary to restore the situation in which countries were divided in the past, and most of them are the descendants of the former countries, with the purpose of restoring the country. The second is that the Qin state has unified the world, and now to replace the Qin is also a situation of inheriting the unification. Reunification, no tyranny, the establishment of a new unified regime.
It is natural for the descendants of various countries to rebel against the Qin and want to restore the country and restore the order of the old country. This tendency has been clearly expressed in many anti-Qin teams. Xiang Yu did not break through this vision either.
But for ordinary people, after anti-tyranny, there is no need to divide into multiple countries. Many countries and many wars, the people are uneasy, and qin's unification of the world proves that both economy and culture have benefited from reunification. Liu Bang started as a commoner and has always stood on the position of "father and brother in the world", just on the side of the trend of history.
It may be this division that more and more people have decided to side with Liu Bang, deciding that Liu Bang will win over Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang
