The Qin general Zhang Handan suppressed the rebellion, defeated Xiang Liang, and pointed directly at the Zhao state, and the countries sent troops to rescue them
In 208 BC, the Qin Dynasty's jurisdiction was in turmoil, the central government, under the control of Zhao Gaolisi, was unable to command local battles; the official infighting was corrupt, and the high-ranking officials were all endangered; and the Qin government generals were at a loss to suppress the rebel armies everywhere.
Local governments have been constantly disintegrating, and local government military personnel have been constantly involved in the defection team.
After defeating Xiang Liang, the last loyal general of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Handan, swung his troops straight up to the Zhao Kingdom and pointed his sword at Zhao Xie, the king of the Zhao Kingdom.
The war situation seems to be showing signs of reversal.
Zhao Guo asked for help from various countries.
In the face of the Qin army's counterattack, king Qixin of Chu decided to divide the army into two ways, one way to save the king of Zhao, and the other way to the heart of the Qin government- Guanzhong
At the beginning, king Qixin of Chu agreed with the generals that "the one who enters the pass first will be called the king."
At that time, the Qin army was still very strong in combat, and the local rebel army was still scattered and scattered, usually beaten around.
Xiang Yu deeply resented the Qin army for killing Xiang Liang, and had to take revenge, and was willing to go out with Liu Bang to capture Guanzhong.
Later, After some deliberation with the old generals, He believed that Xiang Yu was a cunning and cruel man, and everywhere he went, the whole city was destroyed, all the men, women, and children of Xiangcheng were killed, and the Chu state launched several offensives, but all failed. It is better to take benevolence and righteousness as a call to win the hearts and minds of the people to the west, Liu Bang has always been generous and seems to be the most suitable candidate.
As a result, the Chu king Qixin sent Liu Bang all the way west, and Xiang Yu and the general Song Yi rescued the Zhao state.
In the Battle of Xiang Yu Julu, he laid the status of the jianghu and commanded the troops of various countries, and the Qin army general Zhang Handan led 200,000 soldiers to surrender and was killed
In October 207, in the place of Julu in the Zhao kingdom, he fought the Qin army to the death, and finally won a victory, and this victory established Xiang Yu's status in various countries, and all countries named him a general.
Xiang Yu also continued to march westward, preparing to capture the Guanzhong region.
The soldiers led by Zhang Handan were humiliated by the Chu army and the allies, and when they were used as slaves, the Qin army was full of resentment.
Finally, some people suggested that Xiang Yu should not kill all the surrendered soldiers, so as not to be attacked by the enemy on his stomach when entering Hangu Pass, so as to avoid the surrendered soldiers from defecting. It was only necessary to leave three generals, including Zhang Handan, Sima Xin, and Dong Feng, to enter Hangu Pass.
Xiang Yu said, "Yes."
Therefore, a night raid was launched to kill 200,000 Qin soldiers in Xin'an Pit.
Liu Bang went all the way to the west, recruited a rebellion, and successfully entered Guanzhong first, and the Qin Dynasty fell
Liu Bang went all the way to the west, and it took a lot of effort to conquer the cities.
As they got closer and closer to guanzhong, they were instructed by Zhang Liang and a stalker from Nanyang County, and adopted a strategy of recruiting rebels, and wherever the army passed, it was forbidden to plunder. The military and civilians of the Qin Kingdom were very surprised, and dozens of cities on the road to Guanzhong voluntarily surrendered.
If there was resistance, Liu Bang sent troops to seize it.
It took about a year.
In October 206, Liu Bang's army successfully advanced into Bashang, and the capital of the Qin government, Xianyang, collapsed. Totally irresistible.
The Qin Emperor Personally sat in the funeral car of the White Horse, sealed all kinds of sealed letters, jade seals and other objects used by the emperor, and knelt down to greet them.
Baby wins are being held.
At this point, the Qin Dynasty collapsed.
Liu Bang gave up staying in the palace, moved to Bashang, and closed the gates of Hangu to prevent the armies of various countries from advancing into Guanzhong
After Liu Bang attacked Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, he saw the luxurious imperial palace, the luxurious sleeping hall, the sound and color of dogs and horses, and thousands of beautiful women.
Only Xiao He went straight into the Prime Minister's Mansion to collect mountain and river atlases and household registration files, and properly kept them.
Fan Yu, on the other hand, strongly dissuaded Liu Bang from staying in the palace, saying that these luxurious things were the reason for the demise of the Qin Dynasty and that he must return to Bashang immediately.
Liu Bang was reluctant to return to Bashang, and then issued a benevolent government order, promulgating only three laws, killing people; injuring people according to how many crimes; robbery according to how many crimes, and all other Qin laws were abolished.
The whole people of Xianyang cheered and told them that they hoped that Liu Bang could become king.
At this time, someone reminded Liu Bang that the Qin Dynasty was rich in land and ten times the Guandong, and it was heard that Xiang Yu had sealed Handan as the King of Yong, so of course the Guanzhong region was his fiefdom, and if he arrived, you could not gain a foothold, we should grasp the Hangu Pass, close the city gates, refuse the advance of the armies of various countries, and at the same time, recruit Guanzhong warriors to reinforce. in order to defend forever.
Liu Bang agreed to this strategy.
Xiang Yu's soldiers arrived at Hangu Pass and learned that Liu and Xiang En'en had a grudge against him, and a major war between the two armies was about to break out
At this time, Xiang Yu's soldiers also arrived at Hangu Pass City, but the city gate could not be closed, and between doubts, Xiang Yu also got the news that Liu Bang had attacked Guanzhong first, and his lungs were blown up.
In December, Liu Bang's left staff officer sent someone to report to Xiang Yu: "Liu Bang has planned to claim the title of king of Guanzhong, and will soon request a seal. ”
Xiang Yu prepared to attack Hangu Pass.
At this time, 400,000 Xiang Yu's generals were stationed in the water, known as a million male soldiers; Liu Bang's 100,000 soldiers were stationed on Bashang, known as 200,000 male soldiers.
How did Liu Bang win this war of disparity in strength?
Xiang Yugang killed 200,000 soldiers who surrendered to the Qin army, could he break the curse of the unknown killer?
Liu Bang was able to take the lead in entering Hangu Pass, taking full advantage of the time, location, and people. This matter was inseparable from the deliberate arrangement of the Chu King' heart, the assistance of the strategists, and finally closed the city gate, which seemed to be just right.
According to Liu Bang's combat ability, he was far from being able to oppose Xiang Yu.
It was not how heroic and good Liu Bang was, but Xiang Yu's heart of revenge. He constantly fought with the Qin army, delayed in julu for several months, and adopted a killing strategy along the way, killing and dropping 200,000, and delaying the entry time.
