After Xiang Liang moved to Xue County, Xiang Yu's important adviser, Fan Zeng, appeared.
Fan Zeng, over seventy years old, usually reclusive, good at clever tricks, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, he said to Xiang Liang: "Chen Sheng's failure is a matter of course. ”
Xiang Liang was puzzled and asked, "Why did you say that?" ”
Fan Zeng said, "Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and the Chu State was the most innocent. King Huai of Chu was tricked into going to the Chu kingdom and finally died there, and the people of the Chu state still miss him to this day. After Chen Sheng's uprising, he did not establish a queen, but became the king himself, of course, he could not grow. ”
Xiang Liang said, "That makes sense, so what should I do now?" ”
Fan Zeng said, "Since you started your army in Jiangdong, the reason why so many generals have been attached to you is because your Xiang family has been Chu generals for generations, and for now, you need to support another descendant of the King of Chu, and then blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the generals."
Xiang Liang thought to himself, this old man still has two brushes.
So he sent someone to find the grandson of king Chu Huai, who was a man of exile, named Xiong Xin, and still called him king of Chu Huai, and this bear heart man was as bold as his name, and this was the last word.
Xiang Liang also made Chen Bao the pillar state of Chu, and gave him five counties as fiefs, allowing him to accompany King Huai of Chu to live in the capital Xuyi, and Xiang Liang proclaimed himself Wu Xinjun.
After a few months of rest, Xiang Liang led an army to attack Father Kang, and then defeated the Qin army in Dong'a (according to unreliable sources, Dong'e'ejiao was only available at that time), and he sent Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to attack Chengyang, and after breaking the city, he once again slaughtered the city (this account can be remembered by Heaven). They then marched west to break the Qin army in Qixian County, Henan, and beheaded Li You, the son of Li Si.
With the arrival of several victories, Xiang Liang began to be pretentious and complacent. When the Chu state of Chu had previously ordered Yin Songyi to see this situation, he came to persuade him: "General, victory or defeat is a common affair of soldiers, and we must not be careless!" ”
At this time, Xiang Liang had been overwhelmed by victory and could not listen to different opinions at all, so he found an excuse and sent Song Yi as an envoy to the State of Qi.
On his way to the State of Qi, he met Gao Lingjunxian, who was envoyed by the State of Qi, and he said to Gao Lingjun: "I looked at the sky at night and found that the stars were dimmed and dull, and people had a good time, so you still walk slowly, walk slowly to save your life, and go to Huangquan quickly!" ”
Just as Song Yi expected, the Qin general Zhang Handan suddenly concentrated his forces and launched a fierce attack on Xiang Liang, breaking the Chu army in Dingtao, Xiang Liang was hit by several swords, and before he died, he remembered Song Yi's advice and regretted it!
