Chapter 20 Zhang Er Lai cast

Guanzhong, namely the present-day Shaanxi area, is the homeland of Qin. Due to Qin's vigorous management, Guanzhong is not only rich in products, but also has a strong foundation for military engineering.Xiang Yu didn't want Liu Bang to be the "King of Guanzhong", nor did he want him to go back to his hometown (now Pei County, Jiangsu Province), so he deliberately allocated the three counties of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong to him, and took Nanzheng in Hanzhong as his capital. I want to imprison Liu Bang in a remote mountain like this.Guanzhong was also divided into three parts, which were assigned to the surrendered generals Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Yi of the Qin Dynasty, so as to block Liu Bang's way out to develop eastward.

The first problem Liu Bangdong faced was to remove the obstacles of the three former Qin surrendered generals. Liu Bang had just burned the plank road in April, and in August he "built the plank road openly and kept the warehouse in the dark" and came out again. In August 206 BC, Liu Bang adopted Han Xin's strategy of "building plank roads in the open and keeping the warehouses in the dark" to start military operations.Han Xin's first plan is to seize Guanzhong first, open the door to the east, and establish a base for Xing Han and destroying Chu.He first sent Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo to lead 10,000 troops to repair the plank road that had been burned by Liu Bang when he entered Hanzhong, posing as if he was going to send troops from Baoxie Road.

At this time, Zhang Han, who was guarding the central and western parts of the Guan, heard the news and couldn't help laughing: "Who told you to burn down the plank road! You have cut off the way out yourself, and now you are here to repair it. Such a large project requires only so many soldiers. Let's see what year and month you can complete it." Therefore, this action of Liu Bang and Han Xin did not attract Zhang Han's attention at all. Soon Zhang Han received an urgent report that Liu Bang's army had entered Guanzhong, Chencang (in the east of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province today) was occupied, and the guard was killed.It turned out that Han Xinming was building a plank road, but in fact he was attacking the west. He secretly led the main force with Liu Bang, took the small road to the west, left Mian County, turned north, followed the Chencang trail to Qinchuan, crossed the Weihe River at the ancient ferry of Chencang, and attacked Dasan Pass.

However, Zhang Han didn't believe it at first, thinking it was a rumor. When it was confirmed, he hurriedly led his army to Chencang City and fought fiercely with Han Xin.At this time, Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo, who were repairing plank roads in the Ming Dynasty, also came out of Xiegu and joined forces with Han Xin. King Yong's army was defeated, retreated and fled; stopped at Haojian to fight again, was defeated again, and fled to Feiqiu. After defeating Zhang Han, a difficult guy, the road will be much easier.Within three months, Liu Bang went all the way to the east, and Sima Xin, the king of Sai, Dong Yi, the king of Zhai, and Shenyang, the king of Henan, all surrendered to him one after another; , By the way, I went to Pei County to pick up Taigong and Empress Lu.After Xiang Yu heard about it, he sent troops to stop the Han army in Yangxia, and the Han army could not advance; he also made Zheng Chang, the former county magistrate of Wu County, the king of Han to resist the Han army.

Han Wangchang was still loyal enough and refused to surrender, so Liu Bang had to send South Korea's Taiwei Xin to deal with him.And set the captured land as Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, Weinan, Heshang, Zhongdi and other counties; set up Henan County outside the pass, and change the letter to King Han. Coming to the Central Plains from remote areas, in addition to using force to solve obstacles all the way, Liu Bang's best business of buying people's hearts is also proceeding simultaneously.He ordered: Any general who leads a team of more than 10,000 people or sacrifices a county to surrender to the Han will be granted the title of Marquis of 10,000 households.At the same time, the fortress of Heshang County was built.In the Qin Dynasty, the gardens used by the emperors to play and hunt were all allowed to be cultivated.In the first month, Zhang Ping, younger brother of Yong Wang Zhang Han, was captured.Amnesty for all criminals.

Liu Bang left Wuguan and arrived in Shan County. He went to the countryside outside the pass to condolences to the people as a matter of routine, and did ideological work by the way.As soon as he came back, he saw Chang Shan Wang Zhang Er standing outside the hall waiting. Zhang Er is not sitting on his throne in Xiangguo, how come he came here?It turned out that this was another incident caused by Xiang Yu's unfair entrustment. Zhang Er was a native of Daliang in the state of Wei.When he was young, he caught up with Mr. Wei Wuji's doorman, and because he was revoked of his local name, he fled and came to Waihuang.

There was a rich woman in Waihuang, who was very beautiful, but married a stupid and mediocre husband, so she ran away from her husband and went to join her father's old guests. Her father's guests knew Zhang Er well, so they said to the beauty, "You must marry a capable husband, so marry Zhang Er." The beauty obeyed his advice and finally severed her husband relationship, remarried to Zhang Er. With this capital, Zhang Er naturally got rid of the embarrassment and made friends extensively. The wife's family provided Zhang Er with generous funds. As a result, Zhang Er attracted guests thousands of miles away, and soon became a county magistrate in Waihuang.Since then his reputation has grown even bigger.

Coincidentally, a person from his hometown also had a similar experience.This man admired the old master very much, and imitated Confucius's spirit of traveling around the world, and traveled to the sufferings of Zhao many times.Probably talented people can attract beautiful women (no matter how married they are), and a wealthy local public servant also married his daughter to him.Hearing that Zhang Er was a virtuous man, he went to join him.This person is Chen Yu. Perhaps because they are both a perfect match for a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, the two hit it off right away.Chen Yu was younger, and he served Zhang Er just like Lao Tzu, and the two of them were as if they were one person.It's just such a pair of good friends, but they turn against each other in the future, and they both want to kill each other.

When the Qin State destroyed Daliang, Zhang Er had already lived in Waihuang. At that time, Liu Bang was still like a wandering ranger, spending his days outside eating and fighting the autumn breeze (Fan Kuai, who sold dog meat, suffered a lot from it), and he also knew Zhang Er's name. I lived in his house for several months. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.A few years after Qin destroyed Wei, the reputation of these two people spread to Qin.According to the current statement, the behavior of the two is called forming a party for personal gain and engaging in illegal gatherings, and they became the targets of bounty hunters for a while: the one who caught Zhang Er was rewarded with a thousand gold, and the one who caught Chen Yu was rewarded five hundred.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu, good buddies, changed their names and fled to Chendi together, where they served as Li Zhengwei to make ends meet. The little official in Lizhong once whipped Chen Yu for a small mistake. Chen Yu planned to rise up and resist. Zhang Er stepped on him quickly, signaling him not to move, and accepted the whipping obediently. After the little official left, Zhang Er took Chen Yu with him. Going under the mulberry tree, he scolded him and said, "What did I tell you at the beginning? Now that I have suffered a little humiliation, will I die on the Li Li?" Chen Yu thought he was right.

I thought the rumors had passed, but I didn't expect Qin Guo to issue another order, offering a reward for the arrest of the two of them. Chen Sheng revolted in Qizhou and attacked Chendi, and his army had expanded to tens of thousands.Zhang Er and Chen Yu begged to see Chen Sheng.Chen Sheng and his cronies have heard many times that Zhang Er and Chen Yu are good men, but they have never met each other. They are very happy to meet this time. The heroic elders of Chendi persuaded Chen Shengdao: "Wearing strong armor and holding sharp weapons, the general led the soldiers to crusade against the tyrannical Qin State and re-established the regime of Chu State, so that the perishing country can be restored. The descendants are able to continue, such merits and virtues should be called kings. Besides, they must supervise and lead generals from all walks of life in the world. It is impossible not to be called kings. I hope the generals will be made kings of Chu." Chen Sheng asked Chen Yu and Zhang Er for their opinions, and they replied: "Qin has no way. It occupies other people's country, destroys other people's society, cuts off their descendants, and plunders the people's property. The general's eyes are wide open. , Let go of your guts, don't care about death, in order to eradicate cruelty for the people of the world. Now you have become king just after hitting Chendi, showing your selfishness in front of the people of the world. I hope the general will not become king. Hurry up and lead your troops to Advance to the west, send people to support the descendants of the six countries, and increase the hostile power of Qin. The more enemies you make for it, the more dispersed its power will be. The more we have party members, the stronger our army. If this is the case, there is no need Fighting each other in the vast wilderness wasteland, there is no county town that sticks to the attack. After eradicating the tyrannical Qin State, you can occupy Xianyang and issue orders to the princes. After the vassal states were destroyed, they were restored. Give them kindness and encourage them. If you can If this is the case, then the great cause of being an emperor will be a success. Now that he is only king in Chen, I am afraid that the princes in the world will be slack and disobedient." Unfortunately, Chen Sheng was short-sighted, did not listen to their opinions, and soon became king on his own. Chen Yu once again persuaded King Chen, saying: "Your Majesty dispatched the armies of Liang and Chu to advance westward. The top priority at the moment is to break through the Hangu Pass. It is too late to recover the area north of the Yellow River. I have traveled all over the country of Zhao and am familiar with the outstanding figures and geographical situation there. I hope to send an army to the north to seize Zhao's land by surprise." King Chen felt that it made sense, so he appointed his old friend, Wu Chen from Chen, as the general, Shao Sao as the guard, Zhang Er and Chen Yu. He served as the captain of the left and right, and allocated them an army of 3,000 people to take the land of Zhao State to the north.As a result, the two have entered their respective splendid lives, but the misunderstanding between them is about to begin. Wu Chen and others crossed the Yellow River from Baimajin, and went to various counties to lobby outstanding local figures: "Qin's chaotic government has tortured and tortured the people all over the world. It has been decades. There is hard labor to build the Great Wall on the northern border, and soldiers are recruited to guard the Wuling Mountains in the south. , Domestic and foreign turmoil, the people are exhausted, the grain is collected according to the head, collected with a dustpan, used to finance military expenses, the money is exhausted, and the people are in dire straits. In addition to the severe law and torture, fathers and sons in the world have no peace. "The king of Chen raised his arms and first advocated the world. He became king in the Chu area. He spanned two thousand miles. There was no one who refused to respond. Every family was filled with righteous indignation. , Whoever has the highest official will suffer. "Nowadays, the Great Chu Kingdom has been established, and it is called the king in Chendi, and Wu Guang and Zhou Wen are sent to the west to attack the Qin army with millions of troops. At this time, those who cannot achieve the great cause of feudal lordship are not heroes among men. Please think about it carefully. Fan! All the people in the world agree that they have suffered from the tyranny of Qin for too long. Relying on the power of the whole world to attack the innocent emperor, to avenge the hatred of his father and brother, and to complete the great cause of dividing the land, this is something that people with lofty ideals should not miss Time!" Everyone thought that this was true, so they marched to fight, recruited troops, and expanded to an army of tens of thousands of people. The military minister himself established the title of Wu Xinjun.Conquer the ten cities of Zhao State, and hold the rest according to the city, and no one is willing to surrender. So he led his troops to attack Fan Yang in the northeast direction.Kuai Tong, a native of Fan Yang, advised Fan Yang Ling, "I heard privately that you were going to die, so I came here to express my condolences. Even so, I would like to congratulate you for being resurrected because of me, Kuai Tong." Fan Yangling didn't get angry when he heard this, but he still held back and asked, "Why do you mourn for me?" Kuai Tong replied: "The laws of Qin State are very strict. You have been the county magistrate of Fanyang for ten years. You can count how many elders you have killed, how many orphans and widowed mothers you have made, how many people have cut off people's feet, and tattooed people's faces. Unclear. However, the reason why none of the kind fathers and filial children dared to insert a knife into your stomach is because they are afraid of Qin's cruel law. "Now the world is in chaos. Qin's decrees can no longer be enforced. However, those loving fathers and filial sons will insert sharp knives into your stomach and achieve their fame. This is why I am here to mourn and condolences to you! "Now, the princes from all walks of life have betrayed the Qin court, Wu Xinjun's men are coming soon, but you have to defend Fan Yang, and the young people are scrambling to kill you first and go to Wu Xinjun. You should send me to meet Wu Xinjun immediately , now is the time to turn misfortune into blessing.” Fan Yangling sent Kuai Tong to see Wu Xinjun. Kuai Tong said: "You must win the battle and then seize the land, break through the enemy and then occupy the city. I privately think it is wrong. If you can really follow my strategy, you don't have to. Going to attack and subdue the city, take the land without fighting, and let you pacify the vast land as long as you issue a call-up letter, is that all right?" Wu Xinjun said, "What do you mean?" Kuai Tong replied: "Now Fan Yangling should rectify his troops to stand firm and resist, but he is timid and afraid of death. He is greedy for wealth and loves honor, so he planned to surrender before the people of the world, but he was afraid that you would think that he It was an official appointed by the Qin State, who was killed like the officials of the ten cities that were conquered before. "However, the young people in Fan Yang City are now trying to kill him and defend the city to resist you. Why don't you let me take Hou Yin and appoint Fan Yang Ling, and Fan Yang Ling will dedicate the city to you, young man No one dared to kill their county magistrates anymore. Let Fan Yangling ride in a luxuriously decorated car and run in the suburbs of Yan and Zhao. When people in Yan and Zhao's suburbs saw him, they would say that this was Fan Yangling. He was the first to surrender, and immediately received such a favorable treatment, the cities of Yan and Zhao could surrender without attacking. This is what I call the strategy of spreading the war and pacifying the vast land." Wu Xinjun followed his strategy and sent Kuai Tong to Fan Yang Linghou Yin.When the Zhao people heard the news, more than thirty cities surrendered without a fight. Arriving in Handan, Zhang Er and Chen Yu heard that Zhou Zhang's troops had entered Guanzhong and were defeated in the play area; He also resented that King Chen did not adopt their strategy and could not be promoted to general, but let them be school lieutenants.So he persuaded the military officials: "The king of Chen raised troops in Qixian County, and when he arrived in Chendi, he would become king on his own. It is not necessary to support the descendants of the princes of the six countries. Now, the general has captured dozens of cities with 3,000 troops and occupies them all alone. In the vast area of ​​Hebei, if you do not become king, it is not enough to stabilize the society. Moreover, King Chen listens to slander, and if someone goes back to report, he may inevitably suffer disaster. It is better to support his brother as king; otherwise, support the descendants of Zhao Guo. General, don't lose your chance, the time is pressing, and there is no room for respite." The military minister followed their advice, so he proclaimed himself king of Zhao.Appoint Chen Yu as the general, Zhang Er as the prime minister of the right, and Shao Sao as the prime minister of the left. He sent someone to report to King Chen, and King Chen was furious when he heard this. He wanted to kill all the families of Wu Chen and others, so he sent troops to attack King Zhao.Fang Jun, the Prime Minister of King Chen, dissuaded him and said: "Qin has not yet perished, but killing the families of military officials and others is tantamount to establishing another enemy as powerful as Qin. Why don't you take this opportunity to congratulate him and tell him to hurry up?" Lead the army to advance westward and attack Qin." King Chen thought that what he said was right, followed his plan, and moved the families of the military ministers and others to the palace and put them under house arrest.He also made Zhang Er's son the Lord of Chengdu. King Chen sent envoys to congratulate King Zhao and asked him to quickly mobilize his troops to the west and enter Guanzhong.Zhang Er and Chen Yu persuaded the military officials, "It's not Chu's original intention to be king in Zhao. It's just a plan to congratulate the king. After the king of Chu destroys Qin, he will definitely send troops to Zhao. I hope that the king Do not march west, but send troops to the north to capture Yan and Dai, and march south to capture Hanoi to expand your sphere of influence. In this way, Zhao Guo relies on the river to the south, and Yan and Dai to the north. We must not dare to force Zhao Guo." The king of Zhao thought that what they said was right, so instead of sending troops west, he sent Han Guang to capture the land of Yan, Li Liang to capture Changshan, and Zhang Wei to capture Shangdang. Han Guang's army arrived in Yan, and the Yan people took advantage of the situation to support Han Guang as the king of Yan.Zhao Wang, together with Zhang Er and Chen Yu, went north to attack the border of Yan State.Zhao Wang went out in his spare time and was captured by the Yan army.The generals of Yan State imprisoned him, and wanted to carve up half of Zhao State's land before returning it to King Zhao.Zhao Guo sent envoys to negotiate, and the Yan army killed them and demanded the division of the land.Zhang Er and Chen Yu were very worried about this matter. A soldier who worked hard said to his comrades in the dormitory: "If I go to lobby the Yan army for Zhang Er and Chen Yu, I can come back in the car with Zhao Wang." The companions who lived with him laughed at him and said: "The envoys sent more than a dozen of them, and they were killed immediately. What can you do to save King Zhao?" So he ran to the camp of the Yan army.The general of the Yan army saw him, but he asked General Yan, "Do you know what I am here for?" General Yan replied, "You intend to rescue King Zhao." He asked again: "Do you know what kind of people Zhang Er and Chen Yu are?" General Yan said, "He is a wise man." He continued to ask: "Do you know what their intentions are?" General Yan replied: "It's just Zhao Wang who wants to save them." The soldiers of Zhao State smiled and said, "You still don't understand the plan of these two men. Wu Chen, Zhang Er, and Chen Yu commanded the army to conquer dozens of cities in Zhao State with horsewhips in their hands. They also wanted to face south. To be king, are you willing to be someone else's chancellor for life? Can being a courtier be compared with being a king? I'm just worried about the initial stability of the situation, and I haven't dared to make three parts of the country. Wuchen is the king, to maintain the hearts of the people of Zhao. "Now that the land of Zhao has been stabilized, these two people want to carve up the land of Zhao and become kings on their own. It's just that the time is not yet ripe. Now, you have imprisoned King Zhao. On the surface, these two people want to save King Zhao, but in fact they want to Let the army of Yan kill him, these two people can carve up the state of Zhao and establish themselves as kings. With the strength of the original state of Zhao, the state of Yan can be easily captured, not to mention that the two virtuous kings supported each other and attacked with the crime of killing the king of Zhao. , it will be very easy to destroy Yan." The general of Yan State thought that what he said was reasonable, so he returned it to the king of Zhao, and the ordinary soldiers drove the chariot for the king of Zhao, and returned together. Although King Zhao was rescued, there were ups and downs.There was a general under Zhao Wang named Li Liang. After Li Liang pacified Changshan, he came back to report, and Zhao Wang sent Li Liang to capture Taiyuan.When Li Liang's army arrived in Shiyi, the Qin army had tightly blocked Jingxing and could not move forward.The general of Qin State lied that the second emperor sent someone to send Li Liang an unsealed letter, which said: "Li Liang once served me and was favored by dignitaries. If Li Liang can abandon Zhao and return to Qin, he will forgive Li Liang. Sin. Make Li Liang noble." Li Liang was skeptical when he received this letter.So the soldiers returned to Handan and asked for more troops.Before returning to Handan, on the way, I met Zhao Wang's sister who was returning from a banquet, followed by more than a hundred entourages.Li Liang saw such a boldness from a distance, thought it was King Zhao, so he fell on the ground and announced his name. Sister Zhao Wang was drunk and didn't know that he was a general, so she just asked the soldiers accompanying him to thank Li Liang. Li Liang has always been a dignitary, so he stood up from the ground and felt very ashamed in front of the accompanying officials.One of the accompanying officials said: "Everyone in the world betrayed the tyranny of Qin, and those who are capable will be the king first. Besides, King Zhao has always been inferior to the general. Now, a daughter's family does not get out of the car to salute the general. Please Let me go after her and kill her." Li Liang had already received the letter from the king of Qin. He wanted to oppose Zhao at first, but he had not yet made up his mind. When he encountered this incident again, he became angry and sent someone to chase after Zhao Wang's sister and killed him in the road. Then he led his army to attack Handan. .Handan did not understand the internal change, and Wu Chen and Shao Sao were killed.Zhang Er and Chen Yu had many eyes and ears, so they were able to escape.They packed up the remnants of the military officials and got 50,000 people. Some guests advised Zhang Er: "You two are foreigners and you live here as strangers. It is very difficult to get the people of Zhao to submit to you. Only the descendants of King Zhao who supported the Six Kingdoms can achieve great things with the support of justice." So he visited Zhao Xie, supported him as King Zhao, and let him live in Xindu.Li Liang advanced to attack Chen Yu, but Chen Yu defeated Li Liang. Li Liang fled back and joined the Qin general Zhang Han. Zhang Han led the troops to Handan, moved all the people in the city to Hanoi, destroyed the city walls, and razed all the buildings.Zhang Er and Zhao Wangxie fled into Julu City and were surrounded by Qin General Wang Li.Chen Yu collected tens of thousands of Changshan's remnant troops in the north and stationed them in the north of Julu City.Zhang Han's army was stationed in Jiyuan, south of Julu City.Build corridors to connect with the Yellow River, and deliver military rations to Wang Li.Wang Li's troops had plenty of food and food, and rushed to attack the giant deer. The food in Julu City was exhausted, and the army was weak. Zhang Er sent people to call Chen Yu many times to rescue him. After a stalemate for several months, but no rescuers were seen, Zhang Er was furious and resented Chen Yu. He sent Zhang Yan and Chen Ze to reprimand Chen Yu and said: "At the beginning, I and you were friends of life and death, but now King Zhao and I are going to die sooner or later. In the meantime, and you have tens of thousands of troops and are unwilling to rescue each other, where is the friendship of life and death? If you want to keep your promise, why don't you fight to the death with the Qin army? Besides, there is still a tenth or two hope of winning. " Chen Yu said: "I estimate that even if we march forward, not only will we not be able to save Zhao, but the entire army will be wiped out in vain. Besides, I will not go to die together, but I will avenge the state of Qin for King Zhao and Mr. Zhang. Now we must go to die together. , like giving meat to a hungry tiger, what good is it?" Zhang Wei and Chen Ze said: "The matter is imminent, and we need to die together to establish integrity. How can we care about the future!" Chen Yu said: "I don't care about death, it's just that death is useless, but I will definitely do what you two say." So he sent 5,000 troops to let Zhang Wei and Chen Ze lead the trial attack on the Qin army. The army was wiped out. Just at this time, Yan, Qi, and Chu heard that Zhao State was in danger, and they all came to rescue.Zhang Ao also gathered more than 10,000 troops from Judai to the north and camped beside Chen Yu, but did not dare to attack the Qin army.Later, Xiang Yu avenged his uncle and attacked Zhang Han's army. Xiang Yu cut off Zhang Han's tunnels many times, and Wang Li's army was short of food. He led all the troops across the Yellow River and finally defeated Zhang Han. Zhang Han led his troops to retreat, and the armies of the princes from all over the world dared to attack the Qin army that besieged Julu, and captured Wang Li.Qin general Shejian committed suicide. At this time Zhao Wangxie and Zhang Er were able to leave Julu City to thank the princes of all countries.When Zhang Er and Chen Yu met, Zhang Er blamed Chen Yu for not rescuing Zhao and asked about the whereabouts of Zhang Wei and Chen Ze. Thousands of horses tried to attack the Qin army first, but the whole army was wiped out, and no one was spared." Zhang Er didn't believe it, thinking that Chen Yu killed them, and questioned Chen Yu many times.Chen Yu was furious and said, "I didn't expect you to hate me so deeply! Do you think I'm reluctant to give up this position as a general?" He took off the seal and pushed it to Zhang Er. Zhang Er was also shocked and refused to accept it.Chen Yu stood up and went to the bathroom.At this time, some guests advised Zhang Er: "I heard that 'if you don't accept the gift from heaven, you will suffer disaster'. Now, General Chen has given you the seal. If you don't accept it, it is against the will of heaven and it is not auspicious. Accept it quickly. !" Zhang Er wore Chen Yu's seal and accepted his subordinates. When Chen Yu came back, he also resented Zhang Er for confiscating the seal without hesitation, so he walked out quickly.Zhang Er collected his army, and Chen Yu alone went fishing and hunting in the lakes by the Yellow River with hundreds of his followers.From then on, Chen Yu and Zhang Er had a rift in their relationship. Zhao Wangxie returned to live in Xindu, and Zhang Er followed Xiang Yu and other princes into Guanzhong.When Xiang Yu made the princes king, Zhang Er had always had a lot of friends, and many people spoke well of him. Xiang Yu usually heard that Zhang Er was talented, so he divided the land of Zhao Guo and made Zhang Er the king of Changshan, set up Xindu, and set up Xindu. Rename the letter to Xiangguo. Many of Chen Yu's old guests persuaded Xiang Yu, "Chen Yu, like Zhang Er, also contributed to Zhao Guo." The three surrounding counties were enfeoffed to him, and the capital of King Zhao was moved to Daixian, and he was renamed Daiwang. When Zhang Er went to his feudal state, Chen Yu was even more annoyed, saying: "Zhang Er and I have equal merits. Zhang Er is the king, and I am the only one. It is Xiang Yu's injustice." When Tian Rong, the king of Qi, betrayed the state of Chu, Chen Yu sent Xia Shuo to persuade Tian Rong: "Xiang Yu is the ruler of the world, but it is unfair. He entrusted all the good places to the generals to become kings, and moved all the former kings to the bad ones. The place, now, move King Zhao to Dai County! I hope that the king will lend me an army, and use Nanpi as your barrier to defend." Tian Rong wanted to establish a party in Zhao State to oppose Chu State, so he sent troops to follow Chen Yu's command.Therefore, Chen Yu mobilized all the troops of the three counties to attack Changshan King Zhanger. Zhang Er was defeated and fled, thinking that there was no one among the princes to go to, and said: "Although Liu Bang has an old friendship with me, Xiang Yu is powerful, and he entrusted me. I want to go to Chu." Gan De, a counselor, said: "When Liu Bang entered the pass, the five stars gathered in the Jingsu sky area. The Jingsu sky area is the sub-star of the Qin State. The first to arrive will definitely succeed. Even if the Chu State is strong now, it will definitely belong to the Han in the future. " Therefore, Zhang Er decided to run to Han.Liu Bang also received him with generous courtesy. After Chen Yu defeated Zhang Er, he recovered all the land of Zhao State, took Zhao Wangxie back from Dai County, and became the king of Zhao State. Zhao Wang was grateful to Chen Yu and entrusted Chen Yu as Dai King.Because Zhao Wang was weak and the domestic situation had just stabilized, Chen Yu did not go to seal the country, but stayed to assist Zhao Wang, and sent Xia Yue to station in Daiguo as the prime minister. After pacifying the Three Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang continued to attack Chu State eastward, and sent envoys to inform Zhao State that he wanted to attack Chu State together with Zhao State.Chen Yu said: "As long as Liu Bang kills Zhang Er, Zhao Guo will obey." So Liu Bang found a man who looked like Zhang Er and beheaded him, and sent someone to take the head to Chen Yu.Chen Yu sent troops to help Han. In March, Liu Bang crossed the Yellow River from Linjin, and Wei Wangbao led his troops to follow.He captured Hanoi, captured Sima Ang, king of Yin, and established Hanoi County.Then he led his army to cross Pingyinjin to the south and arrived at Luoyang.A third elder Dong Gong in charge of education in Xincheng County stopped Liu Bang and told him about the killing of Emperor Yi. After Xiang Yu left Hangu Pass, he sent someone to let Emperor Yi move the capital (Chen Ping's bad idea).He also said to Emperor Yi: "The ancient emperors owned lands that spanned thousands of miles, and they must live in the upper reaches of the rivers." They sent envoys to move Emperor Yi to Chen County in Changsha County and urged him to leave as soon as possible. Seeing that Emperor Yi was played by Xiang Yu like a puppet, the officials gradually betrayed him.Xiang Yu secretly sent someone to kill Emperor Yi, and killed Emperor Yi in the south of the Yangtze River. Hearing Lao Dong's cry, Liu Bang also bared his left arm and burst into tears.Immediately ordered a funeral for Emperor Yi, weeping and hanging for three days, and sent an envoy to inform the princes, saying: "The princes of the world jointly supported Emperor Yi and served him as a giant. Now Xiang Yu exiled and killed Emperor Yi in Jiangnan. This is a great treason. We I will personally mourn for Emperor Yi, and the princes should also wear white. I will mobilize all the troops in Guanzhong, gather soldiers from Henan, Hedong, and Hanoi, and go south along the Yangtze River and Han River. I hope to go with the princes and kings. Beat the sinner who killed Emperor Yi of Chu State!" It stands to reason that Liu Bang has no feelings for His Royal Highness Xiong Xin at all, but he was able to cry and speak impassionedly at the funeral. enthusiasm.So this crying scene is just another political show starring Liu Bang, and the effect is amazing: it only took a few tears to win the sympathy and understanding of the princes, and also found a way for more people to doubt and betray Xiang Yu. Good reason.As the saying goes, "Colleagues, cry first and then laugh, masters can meet each other". At this time, Xiang Yu, who attacked Qi in the north, drove Tian Rong to the plain.Tian Rong was killed by the locals because he didn't have a good relationship with the people here.It's a pity that this hero who started the anti-Chu trend ended up like this, and all parts of Qi State also surrendered to Chu State.Originally, the matter would have been settled at this point, but the Chu army was used to setting fire to looting, and the Qi people had already surrendered, but they still wanted to burn their houses and rob them of their beauties. As a result, the Qi people became angry and rebelled against Chu.Tian Rong's younger brother Tian Heng made Tian Rong's son Tian Guang the king of Qi, and raised troops against Chu in Chengyang.
