preface
During the Chu and Han Dynasties, in this chaotic world, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, could be described as the brightest star, and Li Wanfang's "Feather God Bravery, Unique in Eternity" is the highest evaluation of him. In countless battles large and small, almost all of them are invincible, invincible, and rarely defeated, which can be described as a well-deserved god of war. Three world firsts have been set here, which can be described as unprecedented and unprecedented. Why is Xiang Yu called unique through the ages? And what three world firsts were created?
The overlord held up the crown, shaking the past and the present
Xiang Yu can be called "unique in the ages", the most important thing is reflected in his innate divine power, and the phrase "Strength to pull mountains and fierce qi" is enough to reflect the infinite strength of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. During the Chu and Han dynasties, the peasant uprising was huge, and the 24-year-old Xiang Yu followed his uncle in Jiangnan to rebel against Qin. In order to make the anti-Qin army even stronger, Xiang Yu was ordered by his uncle (Xiang Liang) to go to Huan Chu, a member of the Chu state, to join the anti-Qin army.
But Huan Chu felt very angry when he saw that Xiang Liang actually sent such a young brat to negotiate. Because he was a fierce general of the Chu State after all, his strength was undoubted, and Xiang Liang's approach did not put him in his eyes at all, so he had the idea of embarrassing Xiang Yu. Huan Chu said to Xiang Yu dismissively: "If you want me to join the anti-Qin army, it is actually very simple, you just need to lift up the big ding of about 1,000 jin in this courtyard." ”
In order to put some pressure on the young and frivolous Xiang Yu, Huan Chu asked a few of his strong subordinates to step forward to demonstrate to him, but this giant ding, which weighed thousands of pounds, did not move a little, as if embedded in the ground and could not move at all, and he kept mocking Xiang Yu, wanting him to retreat. But he never expected that Xiang Yu had no intention of retreating, and walked straight towards Juding, taking a deep breath and grabbing Juding's feet with both hands.
Only listening to Xiang Yu's loud shout, the giant ding, which originally seemed to be embedded in the ground, was actually lifted by him. At the same time, in order to conquer Huan Chu and show his strength, he raised the giant ding three times and three downs, and only then put the giant ding down. Xiang Yu's operation completely stunned everyone, and also made Huan Chu, who was disdainful of Xiang Yu, completely convinced, and immediately agreed to the previous agreement and joined the anti-Qin army. If you put Xiang Yu in the current situation, there should be no one who can make the giant ding weighing thousands of pounds three times and three downs, and Xiang Yu's strength is undoubtedly very strong.
The youngest overlord
If you say that the youngest is a general, I believe many people will think of Huo Qubing, who was named a champion marquis at the age of 18, a hussar general at the age of 20, and a great sima at the age of 22, Huo Qubing's life can be described as very brilliant, but there is still a certain gap with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. Because most of the young Huo Qubing relied on the strong support of the Western Han Dynasty, but Xiang Yu was different, he could only rely on the 8,000 disciples of Jiangdong, because of these 8,000 elite soldiers, Xiang Yu was invincible and invincible, and it only took 2-3 years to become a well-deserved hegemon, and his record was unusually fierce.
Moreover, Xiang Yu's opponent at that time was Liu Bang, who had more than 20 years of experience than him, and there were many elite generals, but he was still defeated by Xiang Yu, except for the battle under the bow. Xiang Yu followed Xiang Liang to fight against Qin at the age of 24, became famous at the age of 25 with the Battle of Julu, and at the age of 26, he could divide the princes, and his power was monstrous, which can be described as a well-deserved overlord of Western Chu.
If you push back the clock, almost all kings have had to go through long wars to become overlords, and most kings do not achieve fame until they are 40-50 years old. Even the youngest emperor, Huan Zheng, was founded in the Qin Dynasty at the age of 38, and Liu Bang was the Han Dynasty in his 50s. Only Xiang Yu became the overlord of Western Chu when he was only 26 years old, which can be described as the youngest overlord in world history.
Xiang Yu followed his uncle to rebel against Qin
Xiang Yu is invincible in many battles, invincible, rarely defeated, and can be described as the strongest individual soldier in the world. In July of the first year of Qin II, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised the banner of anti-Qin. In September of that year, Yin Tong wanted to win Xiang Liang to join his rebel army, so he said to him: "Now that the peasant uprising is huge, the general trend of the Qin Dynasty has passed, I want to make you and Huan Chu generals and attack the Qin Dynasty." In fact, at this time, Huan Chu was on the run in Daze, and Xiang Liang said to Yin Tong: "Huan Chu is still on the run, and it is impossible to determine where he is now, and only Xiang Yu knows this matter."
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Liang went out and asked Xiang Yu to wait outside with a sword, preparing to assassinate Yin Tong. After that, he went into the room and said to Yin Tong: "If you don't call Xiang Yu in, let him go to Huan Chu, only he knows the specific location." Yin Tong immediately agreed, and Xiang Liang immediately called Xiang Yu, who was waiting outside, in, and signaled that Xiang Yu could start. Xiang Yu quickly cut off Yin Tong's head with lightning speed. Xiang Liang walked out carrying Yin Tong's head, and brought Yin Tong's official seal.
Yin Tong's subordinates were very alarmed when they saw this situation, the scene was chaotic, and out of control, Xiang Yu took advantage of the discouragement of these troops and immediately shot and killed more than 100 people. Xiang Yu's tough method frightened everyone to their knees, and no one dared to get up, for fear of being killed immediately. Xiang Liang also hurriedly informed the officials he knew before at this time, explaining to these officials about his anti-Qin affairs, so he raised troops in Wuzhong. Xiang Liang immediately sent people to recapture the other county towns below Wuzhong, and obtained 8,000 elite soldiers.
In June of the second year of Qin II, Chen Sheng was killed, and Xiang Liang quickly informed his subordinates to discuss the matter, and Fan Zeng: "I can only establish the descendants of the Chu state, and if I stand on my own, it will definitely not last long." Xiang Liang took Fan Zeng's advice and found Sun Xiongxin among the people, continuing to make him the king of Chuhuai, while Xiang Liang named himself "Wuxin Jun". After this, Xiang Liang advanced with his army to Dong'a, and the fighting Qin army was defeated and fled.
In addition, Xiang Yu was sent to attack Chengyang and slaughter the rebels in the city, and then marched to the west to break the Qin army, and the Qin army was also forced to retreat into Houyang City. Xiang Yu then led the army towards Yongqiu, defeating the Qin army in scattered formations, and killing Li Si (Li You), the son of Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. On the other hand, the Qin Dynasty sent a large number of troops to support Zhang Handan, and Zhang's confidence increased greatly and directly attacked Xiang Liang's army, and after a fierce battle, Xiang Liang was beheaded.
"Battle of the Giant Deer" became famous in one fell swoop
King Huai of Chu was terrified when he heard the news of Xiang Liang's death, and immediately went to Pengcheng to collect Xiang Yu's army. In September of the second year of Qin II, King Huai of Chu made Xiang Yu the "Duke of Lu" and asked Song Yi to lead an army of 50,000 to rescue the state of Zhao, and Xiang Yu naturally followed. However, when the army arrived in Anyang, Song Yi suddenly announced that he would not march anymore and stayed there for 46 days.
Seeing this situation, Xiang Yu was immediately reluctant, so he immediately went to Song Yi and said: "The Qin army is now focusing all its attention on besieging the Zhao State and Yu Julu, if we lead the army across the river now and join forces with the Zhao State army, the Qin army that can definitely be defeated will not be able to collapse." However, Song Yi did not agree to Xiang Yu's suggestion and continued to return to the camp to drink and have fun. The weather became increasingly cold, and it rained heavily outside, and the officers and men of the whole army shivered with cold.
Xiang Yu was very angry when he saw this situation, so he angrily went to Song Yi to kill him. He also carried Song Yi's head and said to the officers and soldiers of the whole army: "Song Yi is suspected of conspiring against him, and King Qin Huai is already secretly ordering me to kill him." The officers and men of the whole army were shocked by Xiang Yu's means, and none of the soldiers dared to stand up and question what Xiang Yu had done, and recommended Xiang Yu as the temporary commander. After receiving the news, King Huai of Chu immediately appointed Xiang Yu as the chief commander.
Since Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, Xiang Yu's prestige has resounded throughout the Chu Kingdom. Immediately after Xiang Yu took office, he sent his army across the river and fought fiercely with the Qin army 9 times, Zhang Wei was defeated and left, and Xiang Yu continued to lead the army to the north to attack Wang Li. The Chu army, which was as strong as the Qin army, fled one after another, and captured the king alive. After this, Xiang Yu led the army to defeat the army of the Qin State on the sewage, and Zhang Wei was very afraid, so he quickly ordered people to see Xiang Yu and wanted to sign a contract. In July of the third year of the Second Emperor of Qin, Xiang Yu signed an alliance with Zhang Wei and established Zhang Wei as the "King of Yong".
Xiang Yu divided the princes
After Xiang Yu destroyed the army of the State of Qin, he continued to lead the army of the State of Chu to advance towards Guanzhong and arrived at Hangu Pass and found that there was a heavy garrison here, and there was no way to pass through this side. At this time, it was suddenly heard that Liu Bang had attacked Xianyang and that his 100,000-strong army was stationed in Bashang. Xiang Yu was furious, and immediately sent Yingbu to attack the Hangu Pass, and 400,000 troops were stationed at Xinfeng Hongmen.
At this time, Liu Bang's Zuo Sima ordered people to tell Xiang Yu that Liu Bang wanted to claim the throne in Guanzhong and to keep all the treasures for himself. Fan Zeng: "Liu Bang is greedy for money and lustful, and has great ambitions, so he needs to kill him as soon as possible." After learning the news, Xiang Bo found Zhang Liang overnight and wanted to persuade him to escape, but was wooed by Zhang Liang. After Xiang Bo returned from Zhang Liang, he said to Xiang Yu: "Liu Bang has made great achievements in attacking Xianyang, and he must not be killed." Xiang Yu also followed Xiang Bo's advice.
The next day, Liu Bang came to see Xiang Yu with more than 100 iron horses, and Fan Zeng, constantly hinted that Xiang Yu kill Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu never responded. Seeing this, Fan Zeng, he immediately asked Xiang Zhuang to dance his sword and wanted to assassinate Liu Bang, but was blocked by Xiang Bo. When Zhang Liang saw this tense situation, he immediately went to Fan Yu to help.
After having a conversation with Xiang Yu after Fan Yu came, he gave up the idea of killing Liu Bang, who was also very aware of the time and quickly fled back to Bashang. After this, Xiang Yu led troops to slaughter Xianyang, kill the King of Qin, burn the palace of the King of Qin, and return to Jiangdong with a large amount of gold and silver treasures. Ignoring the original agreement, Xiang Yu honored King Huai of Chu as a righteous emperor, and proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, and also divided 18 princes and kings by himself.
epilogue
Xiang Yu's life is full of legends, "born as a masterpiece, death is also a ghost, so far thinking about Xiang Yu, refusing to cross the Jiangdong" This is Xiang Yu in the eyes of Li Qingzhao, and also Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu in the eyes of the world. Xiang Yusheng is a hero among people, and after death, he will also be a hero among ghosts, although he was taken away by Liu Bang, but he has received countless praise from later generations, and "unique in the ages" can be described as the highest appreciation for Xiang Yu.
