Jiang Yuetang listened to them one by one, and thought: King Qin is still quite courageous.

Shangguan Che poured himself tea, drank half a cup slowly, and continued: "The concept of 'unification of the world' was put forward by the Legalist master Han Fei, which means to annihilate the princes of various countries by force and achieve true one-man rule. At that time, the states of Chu and Qi in the Seven Kingdoms were the first to oppose this kind of thinking, believing that it was more difficult to dominate the world than to ascend to the sky, but King Yingzheng of Qin believed in it and always had this belief. ”

After speaking, Shangguan Che looked at Jiang Yuetang and asked, "Why can the Qin State dominate the world?"

Jiang Yuetang immediately thought about it seriously.

She replied: "1. The Qin State implemented the 'Shang Yang Reform Law' - the 'Shang Yang Reform Law' emphasized agriculture and mulberry, abandoned well fields, rewarded military merits, implemented unified measurements, and established a county system, which made the Qin State's economy, military and agriculture have been greatly developed, and then the national strength has been enhanced. 2. It has a large number of generals and talents, such as Li Si, Zhang Yi and Fan Ju, and military strategists and generals such as Wang Qian, Wei Yi, Bai Qi, Wei Ran and Sima Cuo. These people are all far-sighted and resourceful, and have made great contributions to the great cause of the Qin State. ”

Shangguan Che smiled when he heard this: "The answer is very good, and there is one more point - the monarchs of the Qin State have great ambitions, they are unwavering when promoting the new policy, and they can judge the situation, make great efforts, and are good at seizing the opportunity. ”

"Understood. Jiang Yuetang nodded.

"1. An ambitious and resolute monarch, 2. Able to carry out internal reform and appoint meritocracy, 3. Able to carry out armed occupation externally in a timely manner. Therefore, the Qin State can dominate the world. Shangguan Che analyzed.

Jiang Yuetang nodded again and again.

Shangguan Che looked outside and said, "It's still early, let's continue the lecture." ”

"Good. ”

Shangguan Che said: "After the death of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, Hu Hai ascended the throne, known as Qin II in history, Hu Hai ascended to the throne because it was supported by Zhao Gao and Li Si, so he had no real power, and the real power was held by the eunuch Zhao Gao. After Zhao Gao took power, he instigated Hu Hai to implement a series of tyranny, and constantly framed Zhongliang, the people could not bear it, and finally Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising broke out. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was victorious, but because Chen Sheng was proud to underestimate the enemy, he was finally suppressed by the Qin army and suffered a final defeat.

After the failure of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, Xiang Yu rose up and led his troops to fight against the Qin army, in the battle, the Qin army gradually gained the upper hand, and the Qin army general Zhang Han hurriedly asked Zhao Gao for reinforcements, Zhao Gao had many suspicions about this, did not send reinforcements, and concealed the war from Hu Hai.

Zhang Han was desperate and had to surrender to Xiang Yu.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army had declined, and the social security of the Qin state was in danger.

When he learned of this, Hu Hai suddenly woke up - the Qin State was about to die, so he expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Gao's intentional concealment. Zhao Gao originally had the intention of usurping the throne, and when he saw this situation, he decided to strike first. Zhao Gao conspired with his son-in-law Yan Le to force Hu Hai to commit suicide, and Hu Hai committed suicide in Wangyi Palace, where he died at the age of twenty-four.

After the death of Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, Zhao Gaoli ascended the throne of the eldest grandson of Qin Shi Huang.

On the fifth day of his reign, Zhao Gao promised the rebels that he would kill all the members of the Qin dynasty, and when Ziying learned of it, he immediately killed Zhao Gao's entire family.

More than 40 days later, Liu Bang invaded Guanzhong and persuaded Ziying to surrender, Ziying knew that the general trend of Qin had gone, and personally surrendered to Liu Bang's army. At this point, the Qin Dynasty officially ended, and Qin III only served as emperor for a total of forty-six days.

After Ziying surrendered, Liu Bang did not kill him, but handed him over to the care of his accompanying subordinates.

Soon after, Xiang Yu led his army into Guanzhong, and Liu Bang retreated with interest because he did not have the strength to fight against it at that time. Xiang Yu killed Ziying, killed all the members of the Qin Dynasty's clan, and killed more than 200,000 Qin soldiers overnight, so far, the Qin Dynasty was completely destroyed.

After destroying Qin, Xiang Yu proclaimed himself the overlord of Western Chu, set the capital of Pengcheng, and implemented the sub-feudal system, and divided the Qin heroes and the nobles of the six countries into kings, he sealed a total of eighteen kings, known as the 'Eighteen Kings of the Seal', of which Liu Bang was named the King of Han.

Because of the taboo of Liu Bang, Xiang Yu deliberately sent him to the remote Hanzhong and Bashu areas, and arranged Zhang Han and others from the Qin State in Guanzhong, making it a barrier for Liu Bang to return to Guanzhong.

Liu Bang did not show any dissatisfaction, and on the way to the fiefdom, he burned all the plank roads leading to Guanzhong to show Xiang Yu that he was not determined to attack Guanzhong again. Of course, this is Liu Bang's superficial work, and he has actually been secretly preparing to capture Guanzhong in his heart.

In 206 BC, when the princes of Qi and Zhao rebelled, Xiang Yu immediately led his troops to quell the rebellion, and Liu Bang and Han Xin attacked Guanzhong at this time, occupying most of Guanzhong in less than 3 months. Xiang Yu was very angry when he learned about it, and immediately sent Han King Zheng Chang to lead his troops to intercept it, Liu Bang's advisor Zhang Liang then pretended to be a letter to Xiang Yu from King Han, saying that Liu Bang only wanted to get Guanzhong and would not advance half a step further to the east, Xiang Yu believed it, so he attacked Qi with confidence.

In 205 BC, while Xiang Yu was still attacking Qi, Liu Bang led about 560,000 soldiers and horses from all walks of life to the east to attack Chu (the base of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu).

After Liu Bang captured Pengcheng, he obtained a large number of jewels and beauties, so he set up a banquet to celebrate with everyone. Xiang Yu fought all the way in, killed more than 100,000 Han troops, and the Han army was defeated and retreated, and Liu Bang fled in a hurry.

After the defeat, many of Liu Bang's people took refuge in Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu's military strength was rapidly strengthened.

In 204 BC, Liu Bang repaired the Yongdao in Xingyang in order to cross the river to get grain, Xiang Yu sent people to destroy the Yongdao, so that Liu Bang's grain and grass could not be replenished, Liu Bang had to take the initiative to negotiate peace with Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu agreed.

Fan Zeng advised Xiang Yu to besiege Xingyang in order to eliminate Liu Bang. When Liu Bang learned about it, he immediately convened the ministers to discuss the countermeasures, and Chen Ping proposed to use the divisive plan to separate Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, which Liu Bang adopted.

After Chen Ping's discord plan was implemented, Xiang Yu really doubted Fan Zeng, and soon deprived Fan Zeng of his rights. Fan Zeng was disappointed and indignant, and angrily told his old man to return to his hometown, and died of illness on the way home.

Xiang Yu led his troops to surround Xingyang, the situation was very critical, Liu Bang then sent Ji Xin to pretend to be him to surrender to Xiang Yu, and he took the opportunity to escape from Xingyang.

In 203 BC, Xiang Yu captured Xingyang, and Liu Bang persuaded Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, to betray Xiang Yu and enter Chenggao. When Xiang Yu learned about it, he immediately led his troops to attack, and soon recaptured Chenggao, and then went west to pursue Liu Bang. Liu Bang sent heavy troops to block it, so that Xiang Yu's troops could not continue to advance westward.

At this time, the Chu general Xue Gong was attacked by the Han general Peng Yue across the river, and the soldiers were defeated and died, and the Chu State was in danger. Liu Bang took the opportunity to take Cheng Gao. ”

Xiang Yu was on the way to pursue Peng Yue, and when he learned about this, he was so angry that he had to turn back to deal with Liu Bang.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu confronted each other for a few months, and Xiang Yu, who was anxious, couldn't stand it anymore and proposed to fight Liu Bang alone, but Liu Bang refused, so Xiang Yu sent a strong man to challenge, but was shot by Lou Furen. Xiang Yu personally put on armor and took a halberd to challenge. Lou was about to shoot Xiang Yu, but he was frightened by Xiang Yu's angry eyes and hurriedly hid, and never dared to come out again. Liu Bang had no choice but to come out to talk to Xiang Yu in person, but was shot by Xiang Yu and hurriedly retreated from Cheng Gao.

At this time, Liu Bang's general Han Xin captured Qi and Zhao and was preparing to attack Chu, when Xiang Yuli sent his general Long He to deal with Han Xin. The dragon was defeated by Han Xin and was killed by Han Xin. Han Xin continued to attack the state of Chu.

Xiang Yu wanted to go back to deal with Han Xin at this time, but Peng Yue had no choice but to kill from the ancient city, so Xiang Yu had to go to deal with Peng Yue, leaving Sima Cao to stick to Chenggao, and warned him not to fight, just stick to it.

Liu Bang sent people to challenge Cao Ji, Cao Ji at the beginning of the strict promise not to attack, and then really couldn't stand the provocation of the Han army for days, and led his troops to attack in a fit of anger, Liu Bang immediately launched an attack, defeated Cao Ji's army, captured Chenggao in one fell swoop, and quickly sent people to harvest grain in the Guangwu area to make military food.

Xiang Yu hurriedly returned after learning about it, intending to recapture Chenggao, but at this time Xiang Yu's soldiers were too tired, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to before, and the morale of the soldiers on Liu Bang's side was high, and the number was large, Xiang Yu couldn't, so he had to sign an agreement with Liu Bang to divide the two sides of Chu and Han with the chasm as the boundary, and each got half of the world.

After that, Xiang Yu led his troops back to the east.

After Xiang Yu withdrew his troops, Liu Bang followed the advice of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and while Xiang Yu was still on the way to the east, he divided into three routes with Han Xin, Yingbu, and Peng Yue, and led a large team of men and horses to encircle and intercept Xiang Yu.

Soon after, the three-way people besieged Xiang Yu under the wall.

After a dark fight, Xiang Yu, who has always been invincible, only left twenty-eight horsemen, Xiang Yu still refused to surrender, commanded twenty-eight horsemen to rush desperately, and then fought out a bloody road, and then rushed south, when he arrived at Wujiang, he felt shameless to see Jiangdong's fathers and elders, and was full of emotion, so he ordered the riders to dismount, and fought with the Han army with short weapons, Xiang Yu killed hundreds of Han soldiers alone, and he was also wounded dozens of times, and then pulled out a knife to kill himself, and died at the age of 31. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuetang burst into tears.

Shangguan Che said while helping her wipe her tears: "Li Qingzhao once had a poem that said, 'I still think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong', alas, ......" He also reddened his eyes as he spoke.

After sighing, Shangguan Che continued: "After defeating Xiang Yu, Liu Bang was proclaimed emperor in 202, the country was called Han, the history was called the Western Han Dynasty, and the capital was Chang'an. The Western Han Dynasty was the second dynasty in Chinese history to dominate the world.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang implemented a policy of lightly paying for the meager and recuperating, allowing the soldiers who had been fighting for many years and the common people who had suffered a lot to rest and adjust, and soon the economy, agriculture, handicrafts and commerce were restored.

In terms of political system, the Western Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty's Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system, and in terms of faith, it mainly believed in Taoism.

The Western Han Dynasty lasted for a total of 210 years, and there were 12 emperors. Liu Bang was revered as Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty. ”

Shangguan Che took a sip of water, and then said: "The establishment process of the Western Han Dynasty is over, and now I am going to test you—why did Xiang Yu fail? He was obviously greater than Liu Bang in terms of strength and power at the beginning." ”

Jiang Yuetang immediately combined the ideas and conclusions generated in the process of listening, and replied: "1. Instead of following the trend of historical development - after the destruction of Qin, the Qin Dynasty's policy of unifying the world was not implemented, but followed the feudal system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which planted the seeds for the princes to plot rebellion. 2. Unable to employ people - since he established himself as the overlord of Western Chu, it seems that every war can only be defeated by him himself, which shows that he has not cultivated a good general who is enough to be independent. 3, stubborn and self-serving, not listening to good words - Chen Ping only used a discordant strategy to make him suspect Fan Zeng, who had assisted him for decades, and deprived Fan Zeng of his rights, but he didn't know that since Fan Zeng left him, his life has fallen into a mess. 4, no vision, brave and less wise - from several confrontations between him and Liu Bang, he embodies 'bravery', but he can't see 'strategy'. 5. There is more than brutality, but not enough benevolence - after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, not only the people of the Qin Dynasty clan were killed, but also more than 200,000 soldiers of the Qin State were also killed. If these 200,000 or so people stayed, wouldn't it be a very strong force? Was he worried that these people would deal with him in the future, so he was all wiped out? From this I also felt that he was timid and not good at winning people's hearts. ”

Shangguan Che was very satisfied after hearing this, and said, "The analysis is good. Then he asked, "Why was Liu Bang able to achieve the final victory?"

Jiang Yuetang immediately replied: "1. Be able to bend and stretch - whenever you feel that you have no chance of winning, you will take the initiative to make peace, and you will never be strong." 2. Be lenient and benevolent - after capturing the third son of Qin, he did not kill him, and he rarely killed him. 3. Be good at listening to the opinions of others - whenever you encounter a big problem, you will listen carefully to the opinions of others and do not act impulsively. 4. Good at attracting talents and convincing people's hearts - Liu Bang's capable subordinates include Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He, Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and Guan Ying, etc., and he is sympathetic to the people, so he can get the support of the people. 5. Lofty ambitions - he compares himself to Xinlingjun, and often imitates Xinlingjun's way of dealing with the world, so he is better than ordinary people in looking at problems. ”

Shangguan Che smiled and nodded.

He didn't tell her about Liu Bang's relationship with Xin Lingjun, Xiao He, Fan Xu, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and others, but she said it, and she was right, it can be seen that she usually reads seriously.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Che's gaze at her also changed from love and appreciation to gratification.

This child, with her hard work, mind and wisdom, as long as she walks step by step in a down-to-earth and serious manner in the future, she should be able to reach Jiang Chuanxiong's height.

He looked at her little face, as if he had seen a magical flower, which was very pleasing to the eye. He reached out and touched her head, and said softly, "That's all for tonight." ”

"Good. The little guy nodded immediately, looked up at him again and asked, "Teacher, when do you and Sister Cheng plan to get married?"

Shangguan Che couldn't help but blush slightly, and said with a smile: "It's about February next year." ”

"Okay. The little ones smiled and began to wonder what gift they should give them.

When Shangguan Che walked out of the study, she immediately followed, and the two walked side by side along the long corridor in the direction of the door.

At this time, Shangguan Che couldn't help but imagine in his heart what she would look like when she grew up.

I gave birth to you before I was born, and you gave birth to me and I am old, alas, he sighed in his heart.
