After obtaining Pengcheng, Xiang Bo and other members of the Xiang clan were placed in Daliang City by Zang Di in the name of protection. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info.>

This way of resettlement is indeed partly to protect these Xiang clan people, but more importantly, it is the reason why these Xiang clan people are monitored and prevented from being able to contact the Chu officials or family heroes in the Chu area.

After obtaining Pengcheng, Zang Di gradually captured Xuxian and other Chu cities near Pengcheng.

However, in the area of Donghai County, he encountered the desperate resistance of Mao Gongju, the general of Chu State.

Zang Di paid a heavy price near the city of Donghai, because in this place, the troops near the Chu State were actually gathered.

Their loyalty to Xiang Yu is undeniable, but for Xiang Yu, he is still a little skeptical about the loyalty of these people, otherwise he would have led these generals to reinforce Eastern Qi.

It's a pity that when the rest of the Chu State was gradually captured by several other Qin troops, for Mao Gongju and others, their resistance had become meaningless.

What's even worse is that when Zang Di led the army to attack Donghai County again, they had become a lone army.

Of course, this is already a few months away.

............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................

After the Qin army launched a full-scale offensive against the Chu region, Yingbu and others from Minzhong County to the south of Huiji County launched a campaign against the remnants of the Chu army that were stubbornly resisting in the Huiji County area.

And when Ah Mian led an army of 10,000 to Huiji County, Li Hunt, who was recuperating here, did not change his original intention, but surrendered directly to Ah Mian's department.

As a Miao man with a somewhat upright personality, Ah Mian does not have a good impression of people like Li Hunt. But Ah Mian, who has served under Zhang Jiashi for so long and has become a little sleek, has become a bit sleek, and it is commonplace for such a thing.

And Xiang Tuo, who planned to defend the eastern part of Huiji County, was not familiar with military affairs, that is, he did not understand the scope at all, and secondly, in the absence of major generals, he could not resist the onslaught of the officers and soldiers under Yingbu. For Xiang Tuo, Yingbu opposite him was someone he couldn't match.

And Yingbu naturally knows one thing very well, that is, Xiang Tuo did not cause him much trouble. On the contrary, because Xiang Tuo did not understand anything about military affairs, he mobilized the defenders of the Chu army in many places and gathered them together, which in a sense also saved him the time to clean up these cities one by one.

For him, such a thing is a good thing.

In the place of Shen, that is, Shanghai in later generations, this place was also the fief of Chun Shenjun.

And the title of Chun Shenjun is more derived from this place of Shen.

In the Shanghai area, the Spring and Autumn Period belongs to Wu. The Warring States period successively belonged to Wu, Yue, and Chu.

Shanghai is also known as "Shencheng", referred to as "Shen". Before that, although the boundary of Shanghai belonged to the land of Wuyue, it was located on the south bank of the estuary of the Yangtze River Delta, and was silted by the sediment formed by the action of the Pujiang River and the tide of Taihu Lake, and the land was mostly barren and swampy, and the development was extremely weak. In 248 B.C., one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, Chu State ordered Yin (Xiangguo) Chunshenjun Huang Xie to be sealed here, and built the capital in the old Wuxu (now Suzhou City), and the land of Shanghai was governed and developed, becoming a rich land, because the fief of Chunshenjun was well governed, and Shanghai also had the abbreviation of "Shen" City.

So, the "Shen" of Shencheng and the "Shen" of Chunshenjun come from the same source, and when and where did they come from? This should start with the original fiefdom of Chunshenjun. According to the "Historical Records: The Biography of Chun Shen Jun", "Chun Shen Jun, Chu people, name Xie, surname Huang. At that time, when the Qin State was coercing Han and Wei to jointly attack the Chu State, Huang Xie was ordered to send an envoy to the Qin State and wrote to the King of Qin Zhao, so that the Qin State changed its plan to attack Chu. Huang Xie's "Book of King Zhao of Qin" can be described as a book that will go down in history, with thorough analysis and quotation of classics, which moved King Qin Zhao in one fell swoop.

After that, Huang Xie followed the crown prince of Chu as a hostage and stayed in Xianyang, Qin State. It was not until 8 years later, Chu Qingxiang King was seriously ill and died soon after, only to design to escape from the Qin State successively, the crown prince returned to China soon after the throne was crowned King Chu Kaolie, because Huang Xie made great contributions to Chu Xiang, named "Chun Shenjun", 12 counties north of the Huai River, 15 years after this fief, Huang Xie took the initiative to give up the Huaibei fiefdom, please seal the Jiangdong Ancient Wu Land on the coast of the East China Sea. The 12 counties of Huaibei used to be the hometown of the ancient Shen Kingdom that moved from the Nanyang Basin of Henan Province to the Xinyang area, and it was also the place where the temporary capital of King Xiang of Chu was located, and its strategic position was very important. Xinyang and the area to the east of it were the fiefs or migration places of the ancient Huang Kingdom, Xi State and Shen State during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The meaning of "Chunshen" covers the meaning of "prosperity and prosperity", and I hope that Chunshenjun can govern a prosperous scene here.

Why did Chun Shenjun give up the rich land of Huaibei and ask for the land of Jiangdong, which was then part of the eastern border of the Chu State? According to the "Historical Records," 15 years after Huang Xiechu was enthroned, he took the initiative to say to the king of Chu: "The border of Huaibei is Qi, and its matter is urgent, please think that it is convenient for the county." "Please seal it in Jiangdong, King Kaoli Xu Zhi. In fact, as the minister of state, Huang Xie's fief was close to the national capital Chen Ying (now Huaiyang, Henan), posing a threat to the Chu royal family, and Chun Shenjun took the initiative to give up the Huaibei fief in order to avoid suspicion, in order to gain the trust of the king of Chu, as for Huaibei close to Qi, it was just an excuse to be vulnerable to the threat of Qi. Huang Xie and his people operated in the Wudi area of Jiangdong for 10 years, using this as a base to dredge rivers, build water conservancy, and transform grain fields, so that the Pujiang area of the Yangtze River Delta has been well developed and managed, and is admired by the local people and future generations.

Of course, the current Shendi is not as large as the terrain of Shanghai in later generations, after all, Shanghai is an alluvial area of the Yangtze River Delta, and compared with later generations, China's coastal territory is actually more than partially reduced.

And in this Shen County, the Qin army faced the remnants of the Chu State defenders in Huiji County that Xiang Tuo had gathered in this area.

Therefore, in terms of troops, Shen County, which has nearly 20,000 Chu officers and soldiers to defend, did not fall into a disadvantage, on the contrary, in the face of the 15,000-strong prisoner army under the command of Yingbu, the strength of the 20,000 defenders plus the advantage of defending the city, Xiang Tuo has a relative advantage in this regard.

But for Yingbu, he was not in a hurry to attack Xiang Tuo, who was already a trapped beast at this time, but besieged Shenxian, and when Xiang Tuo could no longer support it, it was not too late to launch an offensive again.

After all, in the current situation, after the Lou Chuanshi troops gradually controlled the lower reaches of the river, even if Xiang Tuo wanted to withdraw to Jiangbei, I am afraid he would not be able to do it.

......

And after the situation in Huiji County was gradually controlled by the Qin army, the Qin army did not rush to solve the remnants of the Chu army remaining in the Jiangnan region, but gradually trapped the other party.

For them, the rule of the Chu State in the Jiangnan region has lost almost all of its foundation, even if a small number of powerful families do not accept the re-rule of the Great Qin Empire and adopt the method of rebellion to cause chaos for them, but for the garrison of the Great Qin Empire in the Jiangnan region, these rebellions are more of a minor problem.

After all, in the past few years, Xiang Yu certainly eliminated the powerful families who opposed him, but after these powerful families were cleaned up, the forces opposing the ruling methods of the Great Qin Empire also suffered a heavy blow.

For the Great Qin Empire, this kind of thing is a situation in which Xiang Yu digs his own grave, and they are naturally optimistic that it will come to pass.

Of course, if Xiang Yu knew that the things he did at the beginning would actually evolve into such a situation, maybe he would have adopted that kind of means to initiate the disposal of these opponents in the first place.

After all, a few years later, because of this situation, the anti-Qin forces in the Jiangnan region, and even most of the Chu State, suffered a great blow to their vitality, but this was also an important means for Xiang Yu to consolidate his rule over the Chu State.

It can be said that even if he knew that it would evolve into such a result, he would not regret doing it at all.

And right now, the Qin army troops attacking the Chu State will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

However, what made Zhang Jiashi himself unbelievable was that the patriarchs of the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families, who were supposed to be in the same breath as Xiang Yu, would actually plan to surrender to him.

As for why Zhang Jiashi didn't believe that Qu, Jing, and Zhao would surrender, it was mainly because Qu, Jing, and Zhao were mainly the leaders of the Chu family.

......

There is an idiom called "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu", this sentence seems to have nothing to do with Qu, Jing, and Zhao.

But in fact, it is very likely that the three households are the three clans of Qu, Jing, and Zhao.

There are three explanations in the academic circles of "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu":

The first statement: refers to the name of the place, is the temple of the Chu people, located in the area of the Danjiangkou Reservoir in Xichuan County, Henan Province, there are three households of the Chu State in history.

The second way of saying it refers to the three surnames of Chu Guoda, Qu, Jing, and Zhao.

The third way of saying: a metaphor for three families, a metaphor for small strength and great determination.

The first statement is the most outrageous in a sense, because according to Sima Zhen's "Historical Records of Suoyin", it is not true, according to Zuo's text of Chu Shi in Sanhu, because Sanhu is a place name. Meng Kang then said that the later Xiang Yuguodu Sanhejin broke the chapter and was the good prophecy of Nangong. The name of the place is not the name of the three households, which originated from Danyang from Chu, and was named after its three clans. And Nangong's words should not be interpreted by the name of the place at first.

This is correct, because Xiang Yu should not have been to Sanhe City, and what is taken in this statement is that Xiang Yu crossed the Han River and went north to attack Zhanghan, which is obviously an unrelated thing.

And there is a very outrageous misinterpretation of this statement:

According to the "Historical Records of Xiang Yu Benji", as early as when the king of Chu Huai died in Qin, Chu Nangong said: "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu." It a priori and incomparably correct prediction of the true meaning of the death of Qin: that is, the cause of the death of Qin began in Chu and ended in Chu. And just for the fact that Qin died, this famous saying has a double fulfillment. First of all, although the great cause of the death of Qin was achieved by the people of the world, but in Daze Township, Chen Sheng, who responded to the world, was a Chu person, and the regime he established was called "Zhang Chu", and Xiang Yu, who led the children of Jiangdong to cross the river and became the main force to resist Qin, was also a Chu person, and the regime he established was called "Western Chu". Liu Bang, who led the group of heroes, cleaned up the rivers and mountains, and established an unprecedented unified Han Dynasty was also a Chu person. Among Liu Bang's ministers, there were also many Chu people. Secondly, the decisive battle of the Qin Dynasty was fought in the area of Sanhushui (present-day Linzhangxi, Hebei), where the Chu general Xiang Yu led his army to defeat the main force of the Qin army and accept its surrender. Since then, Qin's death has become an irreversible trend. The following is an examination of the fulfillment of this famous saying based on historical records.

It is very likely that the Sanhe River has existed for a long time, and the name will not be wrong, so the origin of this Sanhe water is obviously far-fetched.

As for the third statement, it is the most common one:

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu", a famous saying from the era of rebellion against the rule of tyrannical Qin, comes from Sima Qian's "Historical Records: Xiang Yu Benji" in the Western Han Dynasty. It means that even if there are only a few families left in the Chu State, the Qin State can be destroyed. The metaphor is small, but the determination can be successful. It represents an emotionally strong belief.

However, this sentence seems to be the most reasonable, but there is one point, that is, the words of the hermit Nangong in history are mainly to deal with the speculation of the mainstream forces of the anti-Qin forces in the Chu State.

After all, the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families are also a major force among the Chu people, and many Chu officers and soldiers are also from the Qu Jingzhao family.

This is also the reason why Wei Zhao thinks the second statement is the most reasonable.

......

Since this is the case, Zhang Jiashi did not dare to ignore such a situation after receiving the corresponding note, after all, for him, since the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families are willing to surrender, then when he governs Chudi, the trouble will be reduced a lot.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jiashi finally asked Zang Tu to send the representatives of Qu, Jing, and Zhao to a relatively safe city at the rear of this battlefield.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Although Xiang was selfish, he once let his cronies intercept and kill all the envoys for a period of time because of his selfishness.

But after nearly a month, Xiang Yu, who continued to lead the army to find an opportunity to attack Jimo, still knew about the situation in Chudi.

Especially after the news of the loss of Pengcheng came, Xiang Yu angrily smashed his beloved jade wine jue to pieces.

He didn't care about the safety of the others in Pengcheng, but after calming down, he grabbed the messenger and roared loudly, "How is she, Queen?"

Xiang Yu's words made many family members in Pengcheng's Chu army officers feel cold, but after Xiang Zhuang heard Xiang Yu's words, he understood Xiang Yu's thoughts better, because Xiang Yu said this thing, mainly because of one point, that is, the queen Xiang Jing's family was already pregnant with his child......

......

And Zhang Jiashi looked at Xiang Jing, who was helped into the camp gate, and had a headache, because he already knew the identity of this pregnant woman, who was Xiang Yu's wife and the current queen of Chu......
