Zhang Han reorganized a huge chariot army in Dingtao. One day, he and his soldiers were reviewing the army outside the city. When they saw the chariots being rearranged in the military camp, they were very happy to discuss the march with everyone. Sima Xin said: "General, now that Xiang Liang is dead and his troops have fled, why don't we take this opportunity to go south as soon as possible and seize King Huai of Chu who was born as a shepherd boy?" Everyone also said together: "We should take advantage of the victory. Go forward and destroy the puppet Chu regime in one fell swoop!" Zhang Han said: "What you said is exactly what I want, but the other rebel army led by Old Man Fan is still there. It doesn't matter about others. I'm only worried about Xiang Yu. I heard he is Xiang Liang He was brought up, and now that Xiang Liang is dead, he will definitely not give up?" Because Zhang Han had already learned Xiang Yu's methods in Dong'a, he was still a little timid. But Sima Xin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if Xiang Yu attacks, I will go to resist! Isn't he just a young daredevil? What is there to be afraid of?" Other generals also expressed their intention to fight Xiang Yu. Zhang Han hesitated and said: "Although Xiang Yu is young, he is a warrior. Plus the old man named Fan, we can't underestimate the enemy." Sima Xin said with pride: "What can an old man do?" Able? Why not use all the troops to annihilate them in one fell swoop!" Zhang Han pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, Xiang Yu is indeed a thorn in his side!" Suddenly someone came to report that Lord Angel had arrived. Zhang Han didn't know what was going on, so he rushed to greet the angel.
At this time, the envoy had arrived at the government office, and Zhang Han entered the mansion to pay homage to the envoy. The envoy took out the imperial edict of the Second Emperor and read out:
"General Zhang Han annihilated Zhou Wen, eliminated Chen Sheng, killed Wei Jiu, defeated Tian Dan, and today he beheaded Xiang Liang. His achievements are truly remarkable and powerful in China. Now General Wang Li defeated Li Jingxing at the foot of Jingxing Pass. Liang, Li Liang killed the military minister again, and Zhao X was in chaos. But a rebel named Zhang Er actually fled to Xindu and made Zhao Xie king. I now order you to cross the Yellow River north as soon as possible and join Wang Li in a pincer attack In Xindu, Zhao Xie must be eradicated and Zhao X be defeated, then the general’s credit will be the same as that of General Wang Jian.”
Zhang Han received the edict and said hesitantly: "We are currently fighting with the Chu army. Their other rebel army has not been eliminated yet. If it recovers its strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with." The envoy said: "This rebel army has not been eliminated yet." We don't have to worry about the army. With General Zhao Ben here, you don't have to worry about it." Zhang Han asked again: "Sir, I heard that Prime Minister Li was convicted and imprisoned. What crime did he commit?" The envoy Weiwei said. The imperial court has sent people to investigate the situation, but nothing else is clear. Zhang Han also wanted to ask something. The envoy said unhappily: "The general shares your Majesty's worries and only cares about serving the country by killing the enemy bravely. Why do you have to speculate on the affairs of the court? Besides, these matters are not something that foreign generals like you can intervene in the first place?" Zhang Han listened. After hearing the envoy's words, he nervously said: "No more questions, no more questions." So Lu Fan was left to lead three thousand sergeants to guard Dingtao, and then marched towards Baimajin with all his troops. After the envoy left, all the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and said: "This must be Zhao Gao falsely accusing Prime Minister Li!" Zhang Han sighed: "Since ancient times, treacherous ministers have been doing things at home, how can generals make meritorious deeds outside!"
Xiang Bo and others camped in a hidden place. They were afraid of Zhang Han's attack, so they ordered the sergeants to set up defenses on the outside and strictly guard them. One day, the Chu army heard that Zhang Han's troops had defected to Dongjun, and the soldiers wanted to attack Dingtao. Xiang Bo worriedly said, "Wu Xinjun's coffin is here, let's wait until Old Military Advisor Fan comes." He didn't act rashly.
Xiang Yu left Chen Liu and led a group of light cavalry to beat the horses and gallop. On the way, he met Chu soldiers who came to inquire about the news. Under their leadership, Xiang Yu arrived at the Chu army's camp in advance. At this time, Xiang Bo and the soldiers, all dressed in plain clothes and with tears streaming down their faces, stood at the camp gate to greet him. When Xiang Yu saw Xiang Bo, he was very sad and went straight to the tent where Wu Xinjun's coffin was parked. When he saw the coffin, he shouted "Uncle!" and fell to the ground crying. Xiang Yu cried and said: "I was raised by my uncle, who also taught me civil and martial arts and the art of war. For more than 20 years, we have never been apart. Your teachings are always in my mind. I think of the past, when we fled together and suffered so much. How much suffering we have endured. When we were at our most difficult, it was you who encouraged the family to overcome one difficulty after another. You also often talked about your grandfather's heroic deeds, saying that when he was defeated, he would rather commit suicide than surrender to the enemy. The people of Qin surrendered. For more than twenty years, you have hated the people of Qin with all your heart, and you have been full of hatred for the violent Qin. For more than twenty years, you have been always prepared, and you have never had a peaceful sleep. My nephew understands that in your heart What a deep hatred! Fortunately, someone took the lead in attacking, and our Xiang family was able to get ahead. When the Chu people were suffering, it was you who raised your arms and led everyone to raise the banner of resisting Qin and restoring Chu. However, God did not It’s a holiday! The destruction of Qin has just begun, and you have left in the middle of the road. This is a great misfortune for the people of Chu, and also for our Xiang family!” He cried again, and then said: “Two For more than ten years, my nephew has been taught by you, but who would have expected that the final farewell would become an eternal farewell!" Xiang Yu cried sadly, and most of them were officials selected and appointed by Wu Xinjun during his lifetime. After hearing this, they felt sad in their hearts. It's like a knife being twisted.
Not long after, people reported that Old Military Advisor Fan had arrived. Xiang Bo hurriedly led the crowd to welcome him. After Fan Zeng entered the tent, he first paid homage to Lord Wu Xin, and then asked Bo Xiang if he had sent an obituary notice to the king. Xiang Bo said: "A few days ago, General Zhaoping was sent to Xutai." Fan Zeng said: "Prepare a memorial meeting as soon as possible. Lord Wu Xin died in battle, and the king will definitely send envoys to express condolences and condolences to the soldiers. I It is estimated that the king's envoy will arrive tomorrow." Xiang Yu immediately stood up and said: "I will kill Zhang Han and use his head to pay homage to Lord Wu Xin!" Fan Zeng said: "Zhang Han must have been prepared, so it is better to take care of Lord Wu Xin first. Are your funeral matters important?" Xiang Bo said: "Nephew, don't worry, Zhang Han has left Dingtao, leaving only Lu Fan to guard the city." Xiang Yu said firmly: "Then I will cut off Lu Fan's head. To pay homage to Lord Wu Xin, we should also set up Lord Wu Xin’s mourning hall in Dingtao City!” He immediately led his troops and horses to leave the military camp and ran straight towards Dingtao City.
Xiang Yu came to the city and shouted: "Those who come out early can leave a whole body!" Na Lu Fan didn't know Xiang Yu's methods, so he stood at the top of the city and humiliated Xiang Yu in every possible way. Xiang Yu watched carefully, raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot Lu Fan to death with just one arrow, and then ordered the Qin army to cut off his head first. The Qin army was all scared to death, no one dared to cut off their heads. The Chu army rushed to the city and began to attack the city. Some people in the Qin army knew Xiang Yu's power, but they were so frightened that they didn't know how to resist. The Chu army attacked the city. Seeing this, the Qin army knelt down and surrendered to the Chu army. In order to vent his hatred, Xiang Yu killed all three thousand Qin troops. Then he sent someone to notify Xiang Bo and escorted Wu Xinjun's coffin to him. He stood under the city gate to receive him. After everyone entered the city, the Chu army set up Wu Xinjun's mourning hall in the lobby of the county government, placed sacrifices, and hung a large banner in the lobby with the eight words "The heroic spirit will live forever, and the merits will last forever." Big letters.
Early the next morning, the Chu army generals established a funeral committee, and Fan Zeng served as the chief priest. At noon, King Huai's envoy also arrived. Fan Zeng and Xiang Bo welcomed the envoy together. After the special envoy arrived, he said: "Your Majesty heard that Wu Xinjun was martyred, so he specially prepared a condolence article to read." Xiang Yu used Lu Fan's head to pay homage to Wu Xinjun. After a while, mourning music sounded and the memorial service began. All the soldiers wore mourning uniforms and hats. The special envoy recited a lament in front of Wu Xinjun's soul:
"In the autumn and ninth month of the first year of King Huai of Chu, Xiang Liang, Lord Wu Xin of the Great Chu State and the Shangzhu State, sent his army to attack the Qin State. He defeated the Qin Army in Dong'a and then fought in Dingtao. He fell into Zhang Han's treacherous plan and was defeated. He died and sacrificed his precious life. His meritorious service is the most praised in the whole of Chu, and his achievements are the most prominent in the whole of Shandong. In order to boost morale and inspire the three armies, King Huai of Chu wrote this article with tears in his eyes to mourn Wu Xinjun and all those who died. Heroic spirits, I hope that the officers and soldiers of the three armies will share the same hatred of the enemy, continue to build confidence, resist the fierce and stubborn, and stop the beasts. The Chu people should never give up until the society becomes clear, China becomes prosperous, and the country returns to the unification of the Great Chu Kingdom!
Xiang Liang, Lord Wu Xin, is a descendant of Xiang Yan, a famous general of Chu State. His ancestors were all loyal ministers and good generals.
He himself also inherited the loyalty of his ancestors and relied on his intelligence.
He was determined to restore the state of Chu, and his ambition was so pure and benevolent.
There are so many warriors in the Chu State, but there are only a few who are qualified to be generals.
The country is in chaos, and people are so thirsty for talents that they can't sleep day and night.
The founding of the Chu State began in Gaoyang. Why did the country fall when it reached the end of Chu?
Yongzhu is glorious and has a long history. When it encountered the barbaric Qin State in the West, everything was unlucky.
King Zhang Chu was the first to attack, shaking the foundation of the Qin State. The father of Clinker City was defeated and the whole group was leaderless.
Lord Wu Xin relied on loyalty, gathered righteous soldiers, and rose to prominence in the east of the Yangtze River. Eight thousand banners covered half of the south of the Yangtze River.
The widow lamented that his family's life experience was unfortunate, and he had to remain anonymous as a sheepherder.
Lord Wu Xin's loyalty is evident to the sun and the moon, and he ordered the warriors like Xiong Pi to help me ascend to the throne.
He is a rare person in Chu who can serve the country. I will always have someone I can rely on.
He provoked the people to attack crimes and led the mighty and righteous men to go out, which shocked Guanzhong, which was harboring filth and evil.
He defeated the enemy chieftains on the battlefield, and the Battle of Dong'a reversed the unfavorable situation of the world's anti-Qin Dynasty.
He was full of confidence and ambition, and was about to make contributions to the contemporary era, when he suddenly encountered the enemy's plan.
He passed away prematurely, leaving all the heroes in the world sighing and helpless.
Heaven, why don't you open your eyes? From now on, I and the people of Chu have endured the sudden pain.
I have endless worries in my heart. Who will be entrusted with the difficult and important affairs of the country?
The people of Chu State had nothing to rely on, and everyone seemed to have lost their elders.
Why did you die? How can one manage the chaotic state affairs if he is left alone?
Why don’t talented people live long? Heaven should not take away the country’s warriors in a hurry.
There are rivers in the south, and big rivers in the north.
The river will dry up after thousands of generations, but Wu Xinjun's name will not be buried because of time.
There is Kunlun in the west and Mount Tai in the east.
After ten generations and a hundred years, the peaks and mountains will collapse, but Wu Xinjun's achievements will not disappear because of the passage of time.
Where can I find your loyal soul now? I will endure this loneliness and helplessness forever if I leave you behind.
Oh my, it was so sad that I lost all my sleep and food, and lost my soul.
This glass of fine wine is dedicated to you. I hope you will taste it slowly. "
After the special envoy finished reciting his condolences, he sprinkled the wine offering in front of the soul, and then said: "Mr. Wu Xin raised troops from Jiangdong and gave orders to all directions. He defeated the Qin army in Dong'a and shocked Shandong. He has made great contributions to the Chu State. , although he was killed today, the great cause of restoring Chu he advocated has just begun. At present, the number of people who have surrendered to the Chu State has reached one million. The king also sincerely expresses his condolences to all the soldiers and hopes that you can inherit Lord Wu Xin’s ambition. , continue to work hard to complete the unfinished business, Lord Wu Xin will rest in peace under Jiuquan!" After saying that, he paid tribute in person, and the soldiers suddenly felt sad and cried together.
After Fan Zeng helped the envoy to stand up, the soldiers worshiped one by one, first Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu, then Lu Chen and all his soldiers, then Peigong's soldiers, and finally Jiangdong's soldiers worshiped in groups. After the memorial service, Fan Zeng invited the envoys to have a meal and rest in a side room.
That night, Xiang Yu stayed in the mourning hall. He thought about it, sometimes sobbing quietly, and sometimes recalling the past. Some trivial things in life emerged in his mind one after another. Whenever he thought of his uncle's meticulous care for him, Tears welled up in his eyes when he received her care. This was also the first time he felt lonely. He seemed to have become an orphan again. Although the fourth uncle is still here, the fourth uncle lacks the resoluteness and domineering spirit of the second uncle to achieve great things. Although he also cares about himself very much, his character is more of a weiwei naolai and a follower of others. But now, except for his fourth uncle, he has no relatives among the elders. What will he do if he encounters problems in the future? This unbearable suffering and pain prompted him to think of another person, this person was his beloved wife-Yu Ji.
Yu Ji, Yu Ji, where are you? Why are you so far away from me? Do you know how much I miss you right now? How miserable and lonely I am now, my uncle is dead and my spirit is broken. Not only me, but also all the soldiers and the people of Chu. Because my uncle is the commander-in-chief of the army and the support of the Chu State. Now that the army has lost its commander-in-chief and the people have lost their support, what should we do? Truly leaderless. do you know? Lord Wu Xin was killed by the Qin army, by Zhang Han, the old dog of the state of Qin. Do you know how tragically Lord Wu Xin died? When I examined his injuries, I found that he had more than ten arrow wounds on his body, and blood flowed from each wound. I want revenge, I want revenge! One day I must use Zhang Han's head to pay tribute to Wu Xinjun's heroic spirit again! No! We also want to pay homage to the heroic spirits of all the soldiers who lost their lives in the Battle of Dingtao! I want the heads of the generals of the Qin Army to be moved and their heads to fall to the ground! I want all the troops of Qin to kneel and tremble at my feet! I want to level the Qin Pass, I want to turn Xianyang into a sea of fire, I want to completely destroy the Qin State! Xiang Yu's anger was so great that he was like a bomb that could explode at any time.
The next day, the soldiers buried Wu Xinjun with grand ceremony. They carried the coffin out of the city. The soldiers were dressed in plain clothes and held spears in their hands to clear the way. On both sides were honor guards with colorful canopies and flags and flags. The sergeants walked behind in neat lines. The people also expressed their gratitude to Xiang Liang. After reviewing Chu's achievements, everyone came out of the city and cried to say goodbye.
When the team arrived at the southeastern outskirts, everything was ready, and the envoy shouted again: "Oh, Lord Wu Xin! You have been ordered by King Huai of Chu to send troops to fight against evil. Today, the Qin Dynasty has not been destroyed, but you have served the country well. He sacrificed his life, and his heroic soul will return to his hometown, leaving behind a name that will last forever! It will shine with the sun and the moon! His heroic soul will return to his hometown, and leave a name that will last forever! It will shine with the sun and the moon!" The voice was very loud, and the Chu army buried Lord Wu Xin. Xiang Yu and Xiang Bo cried so hard that they cried loudly. Finally, the soldiers carved on the tombstone: Tomb of Xiang Liang, Lord Wuxin of Chu. The hero has been buried here ever since, and the tomb is still there 100 meters south of Guduiliu Village, Dingtao Town, Dingtao District. An ancient poet said:
Gu Biao was proud of his world and broke through many barriers. He lost Lu Hongmen and his son was prudent.
Hegemony once sold out Qin's fantasy dream, but loyalty is difficult to defeat in Chu River and Mountain.
All the talent and talent in the clouds must eventually be exhausted, and the reputation will be in vain for a long time.
The melancholy wind and clouds disappear with the change, and the handsome bones are buried in the wild grass.
Another poem says:
Arrogance is the most powerful thing that defeats all three armies, but I hate to criticize Mr. Wu Xin for his kind words.
Zhan Lie died before he became a man, and he swallowed the Qin Dynasty and hanged him in a deserted grave.
