The life of the last Chu king, Chang Pingjun, was so bumpy! It's a shame

Xiong Qi (271 BC – 223 BC), courtesy name Xiong Qi (芈氏), courtesy name Xiong Qi (熊氏), courtesy name Qi, was the son of King Chu Kaolie, and his mother was the daughter of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. At the end of the Warring States period, he was the cousin of Qin Shi Huang and the last King of Chu.

<h3>Ren Qin Xiangbang</h3>

The "History of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records that the Qin Emperor Zheng ordered Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun to send troops to attack Yan Yi. ("History of Qin Shi Huang Benji" contains: April, Shangsu Yong.) Henchron, crown, with sword. Marquis Yi of Changxin was aware of the rebellion, and the Imperial Seal of the Emperor and empress dowager Xi, with the pawns of Fa County and the guards, the official horsemen, the Duke of Rong Zhai, and the Sheren, would want to attack the Palace of The Year of the Emperor. Wang Zhizhi ordered Xiangguo Changpingjun and Changwenjun to attack Yi. Ren Qin Xiangbang

This is the earliest record of the deeds of Changping Jun. According to Sima Zhen's "History of Suoyin", it is explained that Changping Jun was a prince of the State of Chu and served as an official in the State of Qin, and the King of Qin made him a minister. Scholar Hu Zhengming believes that Changping Jun was not Qin Xiang at this time, and Sima Zhen's understanding was due to his misreading of the sentences in the historical text.

The "History of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records that the anti-Qin rebellion broke out in Xinzheng, the former capital of Korea, and Changping Jun went to the former capital of the Chu state, Ying Chen.

The Sleeping Tiger Di Qin Jian 'Chronicle" records that the King of Han died peacefully, and Changping Jun lived in the place where the King of Han was located, and there were dead soldiers.

Based on the above historical data and historical background, Korea was destroyed by the Qin state a few years ago, and Han Wang An was transferred to the former Chu capital Of Chen in the previous year, that is, in the twentieth year of the Qin Dynasty, and the new Zheng was anti-Qin, which was the aftermath of the fall of Korea. The King of Qin sent ChangPingjun to Yin Chen to stabilize the situation, and also used his special status as a prince of the Chu state to appease the local Chu people.

Note: The name Xiangguo was only known in the Han Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty was called Xiangbang, and the Han Dynasty changed its name to Xiangguo in order to avoid Liu Bang's name. When Sima Qian wrote the history, he followed the name of the Han Dynasty and wrote "Xiang Bang" as "Xiang Guo".

<h3>Yin Chen rebelled against Qin</h3>

The "Chronicle of Wang Qilie" records that in that year, Li Xin and other generals of the Qin state attacked the Chu state with 200,000 troops, and went deep into the hinterland of the Chu state in a southeastern direction, attacked Pingyu and Yuqiu, and defeated the Chu army, and the soldiers pointed to the capital of the Chu state, Shouchun. However, at this time, Li Xin turned to the northwest to attack Ying Chen in the rear, and after breaking through Ying Chen, he continued to advance westward, and the Chu army followed the Qin army to the west, breaking Li Xin's army, and the Qin army was defeated. The Chu army continued to advance westward.

Ying Chen Jiu was occupied by the State of Qin, and Tian Yuqing speculated that the key to Yin Chen's rebellion against Qin was in chang pingjun, the minister of the State of Qin who was living in Yin Chen at that time. Changping Jun, as a prince of the State of Chu, rebelled against Qin in the rear of the Qin army, and the people of the former Chu land near Ying Chen and the people of the former Korea responded, although after Li Xin returned to the army, Ying Chen was once retaken by the Qin army, but in the end the Chu army defeated the Qin army. Not only did it recover the lost land centered on the former capital of the Chu State, Ying Chen, but also took advantage of the situation to go westward into the territory of the former Korea. The King of Qin was terrified and had to use Wang Qi.

<h3>He was made king of Chu</h3>

The "History of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records that Wang Qi, with 600,000 people, attacked the Chu state, took the south of Ying Chen to Pingyu, captured the Chu king, and Qin Wang Zheng went to Ying Chen to supervise. The Chu general Xiang Yan Lichang Pingjun (襄燕立昌平君) was made the King of Chu, and Yu Huainan continued to oppose Qin.

The Sleeping Tiger Di Qin Jian 'Chronicle" records that the State of Qin sent a large army to attack the State of Chu that year. In April, like Chang Pingjun, Chang Wenjun, who was also a prince of the Chu state and served in Qin, died.

The Chronology of the Six Kingdoms records that in the twenty-third year of the reign of King Zheng of Qin, "Wang Qi and Meng Wu broke the Chu army and killed its general Xiang Yan." "Twenty-four years," Wang Qi and Meng Wu broke through Chu, and the king of Qi was defeated. There is no record of Xiang Yan Lichangping as king. This is different from the "Shi Ji Qin Shi Huang Benji", but the same as the "Shi Ji Wang QiLie Biography" and "Chu Shi Jia". The Xiang Yu Benji also says: "(Xiang) Liang's father, that is, the Chu general Xiang Yan, was also killed by the Qin general Wang Qi. It can be seen that :(1) Xiang Yan was killed by the Qin army; (2) the King of Chu was captured in the second year of Xiang Yan's death; (3) the Emperor Of Lichang pingjun had someone else, or there was no such thing at all, sima Qian misremembered.

<h3>The State of Chu perished</h3>

The "History of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records that the Qin army finally defeated the Chu army, Changping Jun died, and Xiang Yan committed suicide. The State of Chu perished.

The "Chronicle of Wang Qilie" records that Wang Qi defeated the Chu army in a decisive battle, killed Xiang Yan, and later captured the King of Chu. It is different from the order in which Xiang Yan committed suicide after Xiang Yan was captured.
