Just when Liu Bang was working as the head of the pavilion in Sishui, Zhang Liang moved to the vicinity of Pei County. Zhang Liang is a descendant of a Korean nobleman. His original surname is Han, which has the same surname as the Korean royal family.The ancestors of South Korea came from the royal family of Zhou Tianzi, who was a branch of the surname Ji. The descendants served as officials in the state of Jin and were granted the title of Hanyuan (now Hancheng, Shaanxi).The grandfather of Zhang Liang's family assisted the Fifth King of Han as prime minister for two generations. Although it is a legacy of the ancient Shiqing Shilu, such a long term is rare after all, which is enough to show the deep relationship between Zhang Liang's family and South Korea.

Zhang Liang's father, Han Ping, died in the 23rd year of Mourning King Huihui (250 BC), when Zhang Liang was still very young.King Mourning Hui reigned for thirty-four years and died in 239 BC.The following year, Han Wangan, the last king of South Korea, came to the throne, and became a prisoner of the Qin army after only nine years in office. From the death of Zhang Liang's father, Han Ping, to the demise of South Korea, South Korea was shrouded in the threat of encroachment and attacks by the Qin army every year for more than 20 years.In 249 BC, the Qin army captured the fortresses of South Korea, Chenggao and Xingyang, established Sanchuan County, and divided South Korea into North and South.In 246 BC, the Qin army once again captured Shangdang County, the northern territory of South Korea.In 244 BC, the Qin army captured thirteen cities in South Korea.In 233 BC, under the strong military pressure of the Qin State, Han Wangan was forced to express his willingness to become a vassal of the Qin State, accept the land and pay the seal, obey the requirements of the Qin Wangzheng, and send the royal nobleman and Legalist scholar Han Fei to the Qin State to meet King Qin.In 231 BC, Teng, the acting governor of Nanyang County in South Korea, surrendered to Qin.The following year, Qin Guo appointed Teng as a general, and led the Qin army to break through Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. Han Wangan was captured and South Korea perished.

After the Qin army destroyed South Korea, Yingchuan County was established to deal with the survivors of South Korea in accordance with Qin's policy system.Qin destroyed South Korea, Han Wangan did not make a desperate resistance, Kaesong surrendered.Qin's handling of South Korea is more tolerant.First of all, the Qin State moved the captured Han Wangan away from South Korea and moved to the vicinity of Chen County, Chen County.Chen County is located in what is now Huaiyang City, Henan Province, not far from Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. It was originally the old capital of Chu State, but it has been captured by the Qin Army at this time.The purpose of Qin’s relocation of King Han to the old land of Chu State was of course to cut off the connection between King Han and his own country. The place of migration was not far from the old South Korea, and it was also to show tenderness and tolerance to the Korean survivors, and even to the other five kingdoms who were about to conquer.The state of Qin did not retaliate severely against the aristocratic bureaucrats of South Korea, allowing them to stay in their hometown and retain their land and property.

However, Koreans are obsessed with their homeland.In 262 BC, the Qin army divided South Korea from north to south for the first time, and when South Korea was forced to cede Shangdang County, the northern territory, to Qin State, Shangdang soldiers and civilians swore to the death that they were unwilling to be from Qin State. The Changping War between Zhao and Zhao.Thirty-six years later, in 226 BC, that is, six years after the fall of Korea, a large-scale anti-Qin rebellion broke out in Xinzheng, the old capital of South Korea.Although Xinzheng's rebellion was suppressed, it triggered a larger-scale anti-Qin rebellion in the Chu State centered on Chen County and a new war between Qin and Chu because it affected Chen County, the migration place of Han Wang'an.

In the anti-Qin war centered on Chen County, two famous historical figures appeared: one was Changping Jun, the son of Chu State, who lived in Qin State for a long time, was trusted by Qin Wangzheng, and was sent to Chen County to preside over the local military administration , from Huairou Chu; the other is Xiang Yu's grandfather, Xiang Yan, who, as a general of the Chu State against Qin, instigated Lord Changping to rebel against Qin and successfully defeated the 200,000 attacking Chu army commanded by Qin general Li Xin in Chen County. The Qin army avoided the fate of Chu's early demise.

Zhang Liang was already in his twenties when South Korea fell.For more than 20 years, what I have heard and seen every day is the suffering and bitterness of the Qin army's siege and the country's decline day by day.The Qin army invaded Xinzheng, the capital of the country, and he became a survivor of the subjugated country.Zhang Liang is an aristocrat with royal blood, a smart and wise young man. After experiencing national disasters and family difficulties, his memory of his great ancestors has become more and more profound, and his love for the ruined motherland has become more persistent.He harbored hatred for Qin deeply in his heart, and he wanted to avenge South Korea wholeheartedly.

In Xinzheng's anti-Qin rebellion, Zhang Liang had the conditions to participate, and we have been unable to investigate his specific actions.However, it is impossible for him not to be involved, and it is completely conceivable that he was deeply affected by this matter.Zhang Liang later left Korea to travel abroad to study as a knight, and the most important stop was Chen County. As we have mentioned before, in the last years of the Warring States period, Chen County has always been a hot spot for anti-Qin, with various historical accumulations such as the old capital of Chu, the relocation of King Han, and the anti-Qin strongholds of Lord Changping and Xiang Yan.Since entering the empire, anti-Qin undercurrents have always been surging around Chen County.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu, famous knight-errants in Wei State, were wanted by the Qin government, and they fled to Chen County to serve as prison gates. After the uprising in Daze Township, Sishui County, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang quickly moved westward and went straight to Chen County. They received the enthusiastic support of the fathers and villagers of Chen County. They established the country and capital in Chen County because of the unique geographical and historical conditions of Chen County. .Zhang Liang was active in Chen County, and made friends with many anti-Qin heroes; Chen County's anti-Qin atmosphere also deepened his determination to avenge South Korea.

After Qin conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world, military repression and legal system construction went hand in hand to quell the armed rebellions of each country one by one. The imperialization policy based on the Shiwu household registration system in counties and counties was implemented step by step in various places, and the regime was gradually consolidated and the rule was strengthened. Seeing that the hope of rejuvenating the motherland is getting slimmer, the young and energetic Zhang Liang feels that he has no choice but to personally assassinate Qin Shihuang to avenge Qin's deep hatred for destroying Han.

After the subjugation of the country, Zhang Liang was reduced from a noble son to a folk ranger.When his younger brother died prematurely, there were still more than 300 children and a large amount of land property in the family.Zhang Liang sold all his family properties, donated money from righteousness, made friends with heroes all over the world, and looked around for a warrior who could assassinate Qin Shihuang. Zhang Liang first moved around Chen County, and then continued eastward.It is said that he once wandered to the Korean peninsula and met Dongyi Lord Changcang Haijun.In ancient times, there were many generous and tragic people in Yanzhao. Qin captured Jicheng, the capital of Yan State, and Yan State moved eastward to Liaodong.

Perhaps, Zhang Liang had indeed followed the footsteps of the Yan people to North Korea; perhaps, Cang Haijun was just a sage in the offshore area, and Zhang Liang traveled all over the world, and finally got a brave man through Cang Haijun. A warrior can swing a 120-jin iron spine.Zhang Liang began to implement the plan to assassinate Qin Shihuang.
