After the Chen Sheng uprising, various localities responded one after another, and the situation developed very well. But later, Chen Sheng's several actions caused him to betray his relatives and eventually die at the hands of the coachman. At first, people everywhere responded to the uprising. In less than a month, the rebel army reached tens of thousands of people and captured the important town of Chen. The elders and heroes gathered together and thought that Chen Sheng could be king. Chen Sheng hesitated and established "Zhang Chu" and began to claim the throne.
But in the historical environment at that time, the most organized and appealing was the old aristocracy. Chen Sheng was well aware of this. Therefore, at the beginning of the uprising, he put the names of Fusu and Xiangliang in front. However, perhaps fascinated by the victory, Chen Sheng still chose to stand on his own. In this way, he drew a line with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms that demanded restoration and isolation. Not only that, but because the six countries in the military have many elders and antiquities, they have special feelings for their own country, which also indicates the division of the rebel army.
Of course, this can only be regarded as a "high-level error". After all, Chen Sheng was a pioneer and explorer, and he didn't have so much experience to learn. But later, Chen Sheng made some low-level mistakes. Before Chen Sheng became king, Ge Bao established the nobles of the State of Lu as the King of Chu in Dongcheng. When Ge Bao learned that Chen Sheng was crowned queen, he killed the King of Chu and expressed his support for Chen Sheng. However, Chen Sheng killed Ge Bao. Ge Bao's rebels caused panic among the generals because of Chen Sheng's indiscriminate killing of innocents.
Since Chen Sheng became king, he did not personally lead the troops to fight, but issued orders in the palace. He appointed Zhu Fang and other brutal officials to alienate the general. On the one hand, the generals did not have a good attachment to Chen Sheng; on the other hand, the old nobles of the princely states also co-opted the generals of the rebel army. The relationship between the generals and Chen Sheng became more and more delicate. The split inevitably happened! Chen Sheng sent the rebels in seven directions. Among them, the first three roads are to attack Qin in the west, and the last four roads are to attack the hometown of the Six Kingdoms. Wu Chen quickly captured Zhao Di. Chen Sheng asked Wu Chen to "lead an army to attack Qin in the west" and work with Zhou Wen to eliminate Qin. However, this warlord proclaimed himself king of Zhao. Chen Sheng admitted and demanded that he attack Qin as soon as possible. Everyone is a king. Why should we listen to you? Wu Chen ignored him and sent Han Guang to attack YanDi. After Han Guang conquered Yandi, he also independently called himself the King of Yan! Similarly, Zhou Shi also made Wei the king, appointed Wei Zai chancellor, and became independent! However, the troops attacking Jiujiang Commandery and Guangling were loyal to Chen Sheng, but they always fought badly and were very busy. In this way, the rebel army split.
The attack on Qin was uncoordinated and was eliminated one by one. After Great Qin defeated Zhou Wen, due to lack of strength, he had to recuperate and adjust. At this time, Wu Guang and Song Liu did not support Zhou Wen. After Zhang Handan replenished his strength, he defeated the Zhou Wen and Xingyang rebels (Wu Guang was killed by his subordinates)! At this time, Chen Sheng's move made the generals feel chilled. Wu Guang's subordinate Tianzang falsely passed on Chen Sheng's orders to kill Wu Guang. Chen Sheng did not investigate, but appointed Tian Zang as a general! This can't help but make people wonder: Is killing Wu Guang the meaning of Chen Sheng? If Wu Guang was treated like this, how could the other generals be assured? Therefore, the hearts of the rebel soldiers are cold!
After Zhang Handan eliminated Wu Guangbu, he pointed at Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng sent Deng to say that the general's resistance failed. However, Chen Sheng was impatient and angry, and killed Deng Shuo. After killing Deng, Chen Sheng had no choice but to send the civilian official Cai Ci to fight. If the general can't fight, what can the civilians do? No suspense, losing again! At this time, Chen Sheng was left with only Zhang He. Zhang He led his troops into battle, and the soldiers were defeated and killed. In this way, Chen Sheng's generals either died or scattered, becoming a lonely man. On the way to escape, Chen Sheng was killed by the coachman Zhuang Jia. Chen Sheng had courage, but his ability to govern was far behind that of the ancient emperors. He took the lead in launching an anti-Qin uprising, which developed rapidly. However, due to the lack of ability to govern, the huge contingent continued to split, and the soldiers gradually separated.
