Chapter 63 2. To kill a man is not worth his life

Liu Bang suddenly broke through and fought for the hegemony of the Sanqin, which annoyed Xiang Yu very much. Because Xiang Yu's horses and carts are already in chaos. Chaos spread from Qi to all directions.At the beginning, Xiang Yu divided the state of Qi into three, and divided it into three kings: Tiandu was the king of Qi, the original king of Qi, Tianshi, became the king of Jiaodong, and Tian An, the king of Linji.However, Tian Rong and Tian Heng, the real power figures of the Qi State, were deliberately not made kings. As a result, Tian Rong was sad and indignant, and launched troops to chase and kill the new Qi king Tiandu.Tian Du was unable to support himself, so he fled to Xiang Yu for help.

Later, King Linji was killed by Peng Yue, who was instigated by Tian Rong, and Tianshi, the original king of Qi, was beheaded by Tian Rong himself in Jiaodong Kingdom.As a result, two of the eighteen kings were missing, and then Xiang Yu joined in the fun and killed Han Wangcheng, leaving only fifteen of the eighteen kings. Next, Tian Rong, who established himself as the king of Qi, joined forces with the neglected Chen Yu, defeated Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, and restored the old Zhao State, and then Qi State and Zhao State formed an alliance to resist Xiang Yu. This is enough troublesome enough, and the country of Yan has added trouble to Xiang Yu.

The Kingdom of Yan was split into two parts by Xiang Yu, and Han Guang, the old king of Yan, was appointed as the Lord of Liaodong, and Zang Tu, a general of the Kingdom of Yan, was appointed as the new King of Yan.However, Old King Han Guang is currently the oldest senior. He was an old man in Chen Sheng's time, and he served under Chen Sheng's brother Wu Chen in his early years.Chen Sheng ordered Wu Chen to manage Zhao State, so after Wu Chen established himself as Zhao State, he asked Han Guang to manage Yan land. From then on, Han Guang settled down in Yan State and became the King of Yan.

Han Guang was the only old man in Chen Sheng's era, feeling that he had worked hard and wanted to get more affordable treatment.But the stunned young Xiang Yu, who monopolized the power of the king with his power, unexpectedly assigned Han Guangfa to Liaodong for no reason. Now Han Guang was so angry that he sat in the capital Jicheng and refused to leave. You can't go, Yan Guo has been assigned to general Zang Tu by Xiang Yu.So Zang Tu urged Han Guang to leave, but Han Guang ignored him.If Han Guang didn't leave, Zang Tu's King Yan would be innumerable. In a fit of rage, Zang Tu killed Han Guang altogether.

With the death of the old King Yan, the last remnant of the Chen Sheng era no longer exists.As for Han Guang, he became the fourth person on the death list of the kings. Now, the problem facing Xiang Yu is that he is facing two battlefields, one is Tian Rong of Qi State, and the other is Liu Bang of the Han Army.Which should he settle first? When he was in a dilemma, Zhang Liang wrote a letter to Xiang Yu and asked Xiang Bo to forward it.The letter said: "King Xiang, don't worry about Liu Bang, the king of Han. In fact, Liu Bang is very kind and generous. The reason why he sent troops to the Three Qin Dynasty was because of his psychological imbalance. , Wang Ye. Liu Bang entered the customs first, and it is reasonable to say that he should be the king of Qin, but the king of Qin let Zhang Han do it. Liu Bang was angry, so he went to trouble Zhang Han. King Xiang, listen to me, Liu Bang is right. You have no second thoughts. Believe it or not, when Liu Bang settles Zhang Han, he will definitely ask you for peace."

If you tell ghosts what Zhang Liang said, ghosts will not believe it. But Xiang Yu will believe it. Why would Xiang Yu believe Zhang Liang's nonsense?This is because, if Xiang Yu doesn't believe Zhang Liang's words, it means that he made a mistake in his judgment at the Hongmen Banquet.It is human nature not to admit that one has made a mistake, and Xiang Yu is a very subjective person.He thought he was not wrong, so Liu Bang would not dare to rebel against him.Since Liu Bang did not dare to rebel, it proved that Zhang Liang was right. So, Xiang Yu used Zhang Liang's nonsense to deceive himself, deceive himself and others, so he decided to ignore Liu Bang and go to Qi State to settle the annoying Tian Rong first.

But Xiang Yu didn't know how to use his brain, who is Zhang Liang?The fifth generation of his family, Minister Han, is Korean.And Xiang Yu killed Han Wangcheng because Han Wangcheng supported Liu Bang, destroyed South Korea, and had already formed a death feud with Zhang Liang.But Xiang Yu actually listened to Zhang Liang's words inexplicably. In short, Xiang Yu could only score a negative score in terms of judgment. Convinced that Liu Bang would not cause trouble for himself, Xiang Yu happily led his troops into Qi in January 205 BC.The first stop I arrived at was Chengyang. Chengyang, Chengyang!This sad city embodies the profound fighting friendship between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.It was here back then that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang joined hands to kill all the people in Chengyang.Now that Xiang Yu revisited his old place, his heart should be filled with endless memories of the passionate days.

In the year when Chengyang was massacred, Liu Bang was forty-nine years old, and Xiang Yu was only twenty-five years old.Now three years have passed by, Xiang Yu is twenty-eight years old, and Liu Bang is fifty-two years old.Liu Bang is becoming more and more insidious, more sophisticated, wise in strategy, and getting better and better.However, Xiang Yu was still as chaotic as before, ignorant and ignorant, relying on all his vigor, he closed his eyes and beat blindly. Speaking of fighting, that is Xiang Yu's biggest asset.In the whole world, there is really no match for him.Tian Rong, who proclaimed himself king of Qi, led the Qi soldiers to attack aggressively, and fought with Xiang Yu's army, and was defeated at the touch of a touch.Tian Rong didn't expect Xiang Yu to be so ruthless. After being defeated, he fled to the plains. Unfortunately, he encountered a group of violent fellow villagers on the road and was surrounded by fellow villagers. He turned the wheel with a hoe and shovel, and shot Tianrong, the king of Qi, to death.

With Tian Rong dead, Qi should be considered peaceful.Unexpectedly, Tian Rong has a younger brother, Tian Heng, who is even more ruthless.He appointed Tian Guang, the son of Tian Rong, as the king of Qi, and started a guerrilla war with Xiang Yu's army in circles with Chengyang as his base.Xiang Yu is a master of field warfare, and he is most afraid of this kind of guerrilla warfare without beginning and end.As a result, the Chu army was restrained by a small Tian Heng in the state of Qi, and they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to move. Seeing that Xiang Yu was trapped, Liu Bang was overjoyed. Regardless of the fact that the Battle of the Three Qin Dynasty was not over yet, Zhang Han was still fighting everyone in the abandoned hills, so he was about to raise his master to leave the customs and fight against Xiang Yu.
