At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the first to rebel were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the biggest beneficiary was Liu Bang, the most vigorous Xiang Yu, but the most powerful one in the transitional stage was Xiang Liang.
Taking advantage of the outlet of Chen Sheng's uprising, Xiang Liang recruited 8,000 disciples from Huijian County, and then crossed the Yangtze River to collect various heroes and heroes along the way, including Chen Baby's team, Yingbu's team, General Pu's team, and Liu Bang's team.
After Xiang Liang learned that Chen Shengbing was defeated and killed in battle, he listened to the advice of the strategist Fan Zeng and established the grandson of King Huai of Chu as the King of Chu Huai and made himself the King of Wuxin. After that, he repeatedly defeated the strongest Zhang Handan army in the Qin Dynasty, and his subordinates Liu Bang and Xiang Yu also attacked the city and killed the other side's fierce generals, li You, who was also the son of The Chancellor Li Si. At this time, Xiang Liang was a little drifting, he felt that the Qin Dynasty was like this, and it was only a matter of time before he achieved the great cause of eternity.
Xiang Liang had a man named Song Yi under him, and he found out about this in time. Song Yi advised Xiang Liang that after winning the battle, if the generals were proud of their soldiers, they would not be far from defeat. Now your soldiers are a bit slack. I heard that Qin II was preparing to send more manpower to Zhang Handan, and I was a little worried about you.
To say that when Xiang Liang first crossed the Yangtze River, he was still quite able to accept opinions with an open mind, but during this time he played too smoothly, almost to the wind and rain, so he did not take Song Yi's words to heart at all. However, Xiang Liang could also feel that Song Yi was also kind to himself, and his eloquence was good, so he sent him to the country of Qi.
At that time, the State of Qi and the State of Chu were allies, but for various complicated reasons, there were some gaps, and the two sides were exchanging emissaries and repairing relations. On his way to the State of Qi, Song Yi happened to meet Gao Lingjun, an emissary sent by the State of Qi to the State of Chu.
After the two sides met, Song Yi asked Gao Lingjun, are you going to see Wuxin JunXiangliang?
Gao Lingjun nodded, this was the main purpose of my mission to the Chu Kingdom.
Song Yi told the other party, don't worry about it first, Chu Guo is now having some problems, I feel that Wu Xinjun is going to lose the battle, and if he doesn't get it right, there will be an accident. If you slow down your pace, you may be able to avoid a disaster, but if you just hit the muzzle of the gun, you will lose your life!
Sure enough, as Song Yi expected, the Qin Dynasty sent a large army to Zhang Handan, and Zhang Handan led a large army to sneak into Xiangliang in Dingtao, and Xiangliang would distribute the main force to Liu BangXiangyu to go out to fight the turf, plus he did not take strict precautions, and as a result, he was defeated and killed.
Xiang Liang's death was really a leaderless group of dragons, everyone was a little panicked, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were attacking Waihuang at that time, and when they couldn't attack it for a while, they gave up Waihuang and turned to attack Chen Liu, but the army always couldn't fight the spirit, and Chen Liu was also difficult to conquer.
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu discussed, now that the boss is hanging, the soldiers have no mental head, we still don't fight first, they will consult with the general Of The other team, Lü Chen, and withdraw their troops to the east and return to Pengcheng. Lü Chen's army was stationed east of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's army was stationed west of Pengcheng, and Liu Bang's army was stationed in Yan County.
Speaking of Zhang Handan, after killing Xiang Liang, he grew a breath, and now that the rebel army can fight the most has fallen, and no one can threaten me anymore, he will go north to attack the Zhao state. After Xiang Liang's death, it had a great impact on the rebel army, and the Zhao army was not Zhang Handan's opponent, and finally King Xie of Zhao fled to Julu with his troops and was surrounded by Zhang Handan's large army.
At this time, the nominal king of the Chu state was still the king of Chu Huai, and when he heard that Xiang Liang had died, he was also afraid, so he left the capital City of Xuyi and came to Pengcheng. Here, King Huai of Chu merged the armies of Xiang Yu and Lü Chen and personally deployed the army, he appointed Lü Chen as Situ, Liu Bang as the governor of Yan County, and Feng Wu'an Marquis, and the army of Yan County was still entrusted to Liu Bang's management.
The State of Zhao was an ally, and at this time it was in the depths of the water, and sending troops to rescue the State of Zhao became the top priority of the King of ChuHuai. Soldiers are definitely to be sent, but who is the right commander? Liu? Xiang Yu? Or someone else?
At this time, gao lingjun, the emissary of the state of Qi, was already in the state of Chu, and as a messenger of a friendly country, Gao Lingjun made suggestions to the king of Chu Huai. On my way here, I met Song Yi, an envoy of your country, who expected the defeat of Wu Xinjun at that time, which shows that this person knows the way of using soldiers very well!
King Huai of Chu listened to Gao Lingjun say this, why, I still have people who are smarter than Xiang Liang, just as Song Yi has returned from an envoy, he was summoned by King Huai of Chu.
The two sat down to talk like this, you think, that Song Yi is a person who can show the Way in front of Xiang Liang, not to mention that in front of him is the King of Chu Huai, who has no actual combat experience, after several conversations, the King of Chu Huai is convinced that Song Yi is the person he is looking for.
In this way, Song Yi was made a general, Xiang Yu was made a deputy general of Lu Gong, Fan Zeng was made the last general, and the three of them led a large army to the Zhao State to relieve the siege of Julu.
