Chen Sheng's death
Wang Li went south, first passing through the state of Zhao. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info so under the direction of Wang Li, there was a civil strife in Zhao State, and King Wuchen of Zhao was killed. Things have to start with a 'Su Gui' named Li Liang.
Li Liang was ordered by Wuchen to capture Changshan County. Wuchen ordered him to attack Taiyuan County. But when Li Liang just walked to Shiyi County, Changshan County, there was a Qin army blocking his way at the Jingcheng Pass in front of him. The leading general is none other than Wang Li. However, Wang Li did not come to fight, but to write to him Li Lianglai. The letter was written by Wang Li in the name of Qin II: Li Liang, you once served me, and it was I who promoted you. I didn't expect you to betray me now, this is too unkind, right? But it's too late for you to regret it now! As long as you sincerely rebel against Zhao and attach to Qin, then the previous things will be written off! And it will make you more noble. The letter of the letter "win Huhai"
What's even more terrifying is that this letter is not sealed! Even if Li Liang had no objection, if someone peeked at this letter and told King Zhao, then Li Liang would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River. It seems that Wang Li's move is not ordinary vicious. The intention is obvious: to force the good to become a prostitute!
What to do? Li Liang decided not to fight Taiyuan first, and went back to test the attitude of King Zhao Wuchen in the name of 'inviting soldiers'... However, what he didn't expect was that before he reached Handan, he was forced to rebel halfway!
On the way back, Li Liang saw a luxurious convoy also galloping in the direction of Handan City. Such a big pomp must be the king's patrol? Li Liang didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly dismounted and saluted to 'King Zhao' on the side of the road. Li Liang bowed out of a civil strife!
When this luxury convoy came to him, Li Liang realized that it was Zhao Wang Wuchen sitting in the car, but the sister of Wuchen who was already drunk outside! And because she was drunk, Wuchen's sister couldn't recognize who was kneeling beside the road, thinking that she was just an ordinary general, and she didn't bother to get out of the car to return the salute, but just sent a knight over to call for help, and she continued to leave...
It's a big shame right now! Li Liang, who was 'noble', stood up and looked at his official with great shame. At this time, a person said, "The world is Qin, and those who are capable stand first." Back then, King Zhao's status was below the general, but now this stinky woman dares to put on a fight like this to the general! What kind of thing is she? Let me catch up and kill her" Li Liang's brain was a little dizzy, there was Emperor Qin's surrender before, there was the humiliation of women in the back, and now the officials are jumping and complaining, could it be that Zhao is heaven's will? Then it's the other way around! Li Liang immediately ordered, "In this case, let's catch up and kill that woman first, and then raid Handan"
So, Wu Chen's sister was probably still reminiscing about the wine and food just now, when she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her. Without waiting to turn around, the cold light flashed, and the body and head were separated. Immediately afterwards, Li Liang led his troops to raid Handan. Before Zhao Wang Wuchen had time to understand what was going on, he and Shao Shao, the prime minister of Zuo, made Li Liang's sword soul. And the right prime minister Zhang Er and the general Chen Yu were lucky to escape this catastrophe. As soon as they heard that Li Liang had rebelled, the two immediately slipped away and gathered scattered soldiers outside Handan City, preparing to avenge the military ministers.
Let's talk about the decisive battle between Zhang Han and Chen Sheng. Xiangguo Cai Ci was appointed by Chen Sheng as the commander-in-chief of the Chencheng defensive battle, but was defeated and killed. Chen Sheng's nest was ended, and he fled in panic and stationed in the military camp of Zhang He, the leader of a rebel army west of Chencheng. In the face of Zhang Han, Zhang He was also defeated and died. Chen Sheng fled to Ruyin County in the southeast...
In December, in Xiacheng's father in Surabaya County, Chen Sheng had become a loner. Only one man named Zhuang Jia drove the carriage for him. And it was this coachman Zhuang Jia who ended the life of Chen Sheng, the first leader of the peasant uprising in Chinese history! From July to December, although this Dazexiang uprising was only a few months, its place in Chinese history was as unparalleled as the unification of the Great Qin Empire!
After that, Chen Sheng's deceased Lu Chen raised a force in Xinyang County, Chen County, re-attacked Chen County to the northwest, killed Zhuang Jia, and buried Chen Sheng's body in Dang County. Later, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, won the world, recalled the merits of Chen Sheng's first righteousness in Daze Township, and sent 30 households to guard the tomb of King Chen Yin in Dangjun. Historians also recognize Chen Sheng's contribution to history: Sima Qian listed him in the family, and Ban Gu listed him at the top of the list.
Before his death, Chen Sheng ordered Song Liu to lead his troops to pacify Nanyang County, intending to break through Wuguan from there to the west and once again enter the hinterland of Qin. Song Liu had also pacified Nanyang, and at this time, the news of King Chen's death came, and Nanyang County was restored to Qin. Song Liu fled to Xincai County in Chen County, and in desperation, he surrendered to Zhang Han. Zhang Han tied him up and took him to Xianyang, where he was finally torn apart by Qin II.
Now we should calm down and analyze the reasons for Chen Sheng's failure. There are two external reasons: one is the courage and good fighting of the Qin army and the command of famous generals, and the other is that the joint force of the six countries has not been formed; There are also two internal reasons: one is that Chen Sheng fundamentally neglected the construction of base areas in Chen Cheng and other places, and the other is Chen Sheng's own character weakness.
Although Chen Sheng was a Chu person, he mainly controlled the Central Plains. This was the earliest and most controlled region conquered by the Qin people. In contrast, Zhao, Yan, Qi, Wu Yue and other places were more resolute and powerful regions against the Qin. In the Central Plains, where there were four wars, the strategic maneuver space was small, and it was easy to be suddenly disintegrated by the Qin army. Chen Sheng's failure to directly control or at least establish a strong alliance with Zhao, Yan, Qi and other countries was directly related to the mistake of not mobilizing the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and not being able to encircle the generals. Zhao Wang Wuchen did not echo Zhou Wen's army to the west, which was very crucial to Zhang Han's smooth counterattack. And the reason why Wuchen did this was because Chen Sheng was very unhappy when he was called King of Zhao, so Wuchen was unwilling to die for Chen Sheng.
Although Chen Sheng had only been the king of Chu for less than half a year, he built an extremely generous palace for himself in Chen Cheng. On this day, there was a person at the gate of the palace who came to find Chen Sheng, he was an old man who had worked with Chen Sheng, and now he heard that Chen Sheng was the king, so he ran and said, "I want to see Shi (Chen Sheng's word wade)" and the gatekeeper was extremely vicious, and he was going to tie him up: How dare you call us the king's small characters casually! This person repeatedly defended that it was King Chen's old man who asked to see him, and the janitor stopped tying him up, but he also did not give him a gift.
The man had no choice but to wait in the distance. Soon, Chen Sheng came out, and the pomp was huge. This person immediately ran up, covering the road and shouting, "She, it's me-it's me" Chen Sheng took a closer look, it turned out to be an old man who had worked together before... Only in front of the old people and fellow villagers can they best show their success. Chen Sheng hurriedly invited the old man into the car, this person was stunned by the luxurious ornaments on the car, and Chen Sheng smiled on the side to admire the old man's stupid appearance.
Subsequently, the old man entered King Chen's palace, and suddenly there was a feeling that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Too many!" Chen She, you became the king, and you lived in a mansion really "At that time, people also hated the rich. This old man not only thanked Chen Sheng for his hospitality, but tried his best to break the news to Chen Sheng everywhere, which was nothing more than Chen Sheng's "fierce material" when he was young
Chen Sheng didn't know it, until one day, someone said to him, "This guest of yours is stupid and ignorant, and he goes around talking nonsense and despising your authority." Chen Sheng asked, "What did he say?" and this person told the old man the words of the old man to King Chen. Chen Sheng was furious and immediately ordered the old man to be beheaded for public display! Since then, "all the old people have been introduced by themselves, and they are those who have no relatives to King Chen", and this is the most fundamental reason for Chen Sheng's failure!
Chen Sheng appointed Zhu Fang as Zhongzheng (personnel director) and Hu Wu as the secretary (assessment specialist) to be in charge of the assessment of the ministers and generals. And these two are experts in the whole person, and they are loyal to strict inspection. Chen Sheng trusted them, which eventually led to "the generals not being attached"
In short, the fundamental reason for Chen Sheng's failure is in the word 'private'. The sentence 'The prince will have a kind of Xiangning' sounds deafening, but it actually reflects Chen Sheng's extremely inflated selfish desires! He didn't want to eliminate the tyranny of Qin for the world, nor did he want to restore the country for Chu. What he pursues is to be a 'prince and general', and such a person is not suitable to be a leader! In the same way, a person with such selfishness will not take other people's lives too seriously. In the end, everyone walked on the bloodstains of the old man with a loud voice, and left Chen Sheng one after another...
In the same month that Chen Sheng died, Pei Gong Liu Bang also encountered the first crisis since the uprising - Yongya rebelled for his second hometown, Fengyi, and his second hometown was gone!
Yongya's rebellion was mainly due to pressure from Zhou City, the prime minister of Wei. Zhou Shi sent someone to tell Yongya: "Fengyi was originally the land of our Wei State. If you surrender, I will make you a marquis and continue to garrison Fengyi. If you don't surrender, I will slaughter Fengyi" Yongya and Liu Bang are fellow villagers, and it is said that they are still neighbors? I don't know what he thinks, anyway, without a moment of hesitation, Yongya threw himself into the arms of Wei Guozhou City.
When the news came, Liu Bang hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched. Hurriedly sent troops back to attack Fengyi, but the attack could not be overcome for a long time. Liu Bang, who had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to his hometown of Pei County.
Outside Handan City, Zhang Er and Chen Yu had gathered tens of thousands of stragglers, and they were about to fight Li Liang again. A doorman suddenly came to offer advice, "You two are from the Wei State, and it is very difficult to make the whole Zhao State dependent." Only after you set up a Zhao royal family can you really gain a firm foothold in the Zhao Kingdom" Zhang Er and Chen Yu listened: Yes! Isn't this the advice we gave to Chen Sheng at the beginning? Immediately ordered to search for the Zhao royal family among the people...
When the news spread into Handan City, Li Liang thought that it was bad, and they must not be allowed to find the new King Zhao! So he went out of the city to attack, but was defeated by Chen Yu, and had to surrender to Zhang Han. The city of Handan will continue to be guarded by Li Liang's troops...
In January 208, Zhang Er and Chen Yu finally found a person named Zhao Xie. Just 40 kilometers north of Handan, Xindu County, proclaimed him King of Zhao.
Chen Sheng was killed, and the anti-Qin uprising was leaderless for a while. Dongyang Ningjun, Qin Jia and others supported a Chu nobleman named Jingju as the king of Chu, captured Xue County Fanghe County, and continued to attack Dingtao County in Dongjun to the west. First sent Gongsun Qing to envoy Qi State, and asked Qi Wang Tian Dan to jointly send troops. Tian Dan was unhappy, "King Chen's death and life are uncertain, how can you establish yourself as the king of Chu?" Even if you want to be self-reliant, why don't you come and ask me for my consent" Gongsun Qing replied "When the Qi State established itself as the king, did you ask King Chen for instructions?" The situation is the first righteousness, and the world should obey. How can Chu obey Qi Zhili" Tian Dan was furious and ordered Gongsun Qing to be beheaded.
At the same time as Qin Jiali Jingju, Zhaoping, who was ordered by Chen Sheng to attack Guangling County, Donghai County, saw that the general situation was not good, and hurriedly gave up attacking Guangling, crossing the Yangtze River to escape for his life! And on the other side of the Yangtze River is Huiji County. Zhaoping hurriedly pretended to be the order of King Chen, sealed Xiang Liang as the Shangzhu State, and ordered him to quickly cross the river and attack Zhang Han in the west!
And Zhang Han was cleaning up the mess after Chen Sheng's death at this time. sent two generals to return to the army to attack Lu Chen in Chen County. Lu Chen was defeated and met a team of men and horses. As the first fierce general, he is majestic, but there are tattoos on his face! Who is this person? Fan thief cloth is also!
The original surname of the cloth was Ying. He is a native of six counties in Jiujiang County. When he was young, a fortune teller showed him a photo. He said that he would definitely be punished in the future, and that he would definitely be king after he was punished. In the Qin Dynasty, it was very easy to punish crimes. It is not known what law Yingbu committed, and he was sentenced to the lightest of the five punishments - the death sentence. It is to tattoo the criminal's face with ink, and the ink applied penetrates into the skin, which cannot be washed off for a lifetime. Yingbu, who had been tortured, was also taken to Lishan to repair the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Torture is a shame for anyone. But Yingbu was as happy as if he had won the jackpot of five million. At the foot of Lishan Mountain, he met people and said, "Someone has shown me a photo, and I will be a king after I am tortured!" From today on, I will change my surname to Tu Bu", and after that, Tu Bu often made friends with some leaders of the labor camp in addition to the labor reform. Finally, at the moment of Chen Sheng's uprising and the chaos in the world, they saw the opportunity, were not used by Zhang Han, and ran away. became a robber in his hometown of Jiujiang County.
Later, maybe he felt that being a robber was useless and that he would never be able to be a king? So he took thousands of brothers to Wu Rui, the commander of Fanyang County, Jiujiang County. Fanjun Wu Rui knew that he was a man as soon as he saw Tu Bu. I don't care about the tattoos on his face, while marrying my daughter to him, and giving him an elite soldier to develop his power...
So, LĂź Chen got the help of Tu Bu and counterattacked in Qingbo, broke the two generals on the left and right of the Qin army, and recaptured Chen County... Zhang Han didn't care about this small loss, he rushed to the next target - Wei State! The Qin army crossed Jishui and surrounded the city of Linji in Dongjun, the capital of Wei.
At this time, Liu Bang was eager to regain his nest. But the troops were not enough, and Liu Bang thought of borrowing troops. Q: Who borrows? Liu Bang thought of a best object: Jing Ju, who had just been established as the king of Chu. First of all, Jingju is now in Liuxian County, more than 20 kilometers southeast of Pei County, not far away. Secondly, as long as I admit Jing Ju's identity as the king of Chu, am I afraid that he will not lend me troops? Thinking of this, Liu Bang immediately set off and went to Liuxian to borrow troops... Maybe it's really providence, Liu Bang himself couldn't have imagined that the biggest gain of this trip was not how many soldiers he borrowed, but that he met a super talent on the way!
