Whenever we play chess, there will be a Chu River Han Boundary in the middle. The hidden historical content here is also the story of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. The two of them stood out in the uprisings around the end of the Qin Dynasty and eventually became two important forces that overthrew the Qin Dynasty. In the confrontation between each other, the supreme wisdom of Chinese is embodied. This history is full of dramatic endings, twists and turns, which make their stories constantly being put on the big screen. How did Liu Bang and Xiang Yu stand out? How could they become the tyrants of two hostile forces?
In fact, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, because of the chaos in various places, those nobles in the Six Kingdoms that were originally destroyed by the Qin Dynasty took the opportunity to restore the country. However, they met Zhang Handan, a fierce general of the Qin State. At first, it was the State of Chu that wanted to restore the country, and Zhang Handan defeated the main force of the Chu army and attacked the State of Zhao, because at this time the State of Zhao also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to restore the country, and the King of Zhao was forced to retreat to Julu City, which is now the southwest of Pingxiang in Hebei Province. The Qin general Wang Li led the Qin army to besiege Julu, and Zhang Handan repaired yongdao to ensure its food supply.
The anti-Qin forces were increasingly exhausted, and at this time, the Zhao Guo detachment asked the Chu army for help, and Chu Jun sent Song Yi as the commander, and Xiang Yu to carry out the conquest for the next future. He also sent Liu Bang to march into Guanzhong and let him contain the Qin army. At this time, the King of Chu made an agreement with the generals: Wang Zhi, the one who entered the pass first, wanted to arouse the enthusiasm of the warriors. At this time, Song Yi wanted to make a profit from the fisherman, so he stayed in Anyang and did not support the giant deer, there was no way, Xiang Yu had to kill Song Yi to seize the military power.
After Xiang Yu seized the military power, he immediately arrived at the giant deer. Sending his own general Yingbu to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to suddenly attack and cut off Yongdao, separating the two teams of the Qin army and disrupting the original army deployment of the Qin army, so that the famous generals Zhang Handan and Wang Li had no way to respond. Then he led the whole army to cross the Zhangshui River and fought a decisive battle with the Qin army. Xiang Yu ordered the soldiers to smash the shipwreck, smash the pot, each with only three days of dry food, to show the determination to die, after nine attacks, the soldiers were highly motivated, and the Qin army had to fight for each other, and soon the Qin army collapsed, which is the famous battle of the giant deer in history. Because of this battle, Xiang Yu became the recognized leader of the anti-Qin forces.
Liu Bang, who corresponded to Xiang Yu, was like a bamboo along the way, and did not encounter such a difficult and dangerous battle as the Battle of Julu, but Liu Bang paid attention to recruiting Chen Sheng and Xiang Liang's troops in the process of marching, so his troops continued to expand. In October 207 BC, when he marched on Bashang, Zhao Gao was afraid of the guilt of ii, so he killed the second, at this time there was no defense in Xianyang City, and there was no reinforcement from outside, so he was isolated. At this time, the prince of Qin tied his neck with a rope, sat on a white horse, and held a jade seal to surrender, and the Qin Dynasty fell. After Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he also made the local officials of the Qin Dynasty take up their original posts, which was supported by all classes. Won the hearts and minds of the people. At this time, history really put Liu Bang and Xiang Yu on the opposite side, and let the two fight to the death to strive for the final supreme status.
Because at the beginning, the King of Chu and the generals agreed to enter the Dingguan first, and the first person to enter the Dingguan was Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu had absolute military superiority. He led 400,000 troops, known as a million troops, and after a very difficult war, along the way, the combat effectiveness of the army was significantly stronger than Liu Bang's 100,000 men, and Liu Bang's army, which had not undergone a vicious battle, and Xiang Yu's army were not on the same level. So in fact, Liu Bang is at an absolute disadvantage.
But no matter what, the situation of the world's two divisions has become increasingly clear. One is descended from the nobility, and the other is from a poor family. A brave general who is full of strength and strength, a man who calculates people's hearts and minds, contacts his subjects, and has all kinds of talented subordinates under his command. History has chosen these two men from numerous uprisings, paving the way for them to become emperors. But there is no room for two tigers in a mountain, and who can finally obtain the supreme position of these two completely different people? The seemingly accidental ending is actually full of the inevitability of one link after another. And we can't rush to judge right and wrong, after all, we are not the people in the play.
