Although the Zhang Chu regime was destroyed, it also provided time for the development of other rebel forces.
Among all these forces, the Xiang clan of the Chu Kingdom is the most powerful, with many famous generals under their name. Not only the family generals, but also the remaining soldiers of the "Tenglong Legion" led by Long Xie, the former Thunder Leopard Legion of the Chu Kingdom. Yingbu, the commander-in-chief of the Shadow Tiger Army of Chu State, Jibu, who had a promise of a thousand pieces of gold and could not move like a mountain, and the four guards of Yuyuan and Yuziqi from Shushan took refuge.
Duke Nan of Chu told Long Qi his prophecy for the Xiang family: if you want to become the overlord, you must find four people who inherit the military strategist's ways and symbolize the "Feng Lin Huo".
At this point, all four people were present. Later, Xiang Liang listened to Fan Zeng's words and found Mi Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu from the people, and supported him as King Huai of Chu to comply with the wishes of the people. Chen Ying was appointed as the Shangzhu State of Chu State, granted five counties, and followed King Huai to establish Xuyi as the capital. Xiang Liang named himself Lord Wu Xin.
After Zhang Han defeated Chen Sheng, the second Hu Hai sent additional commanders Sima Xin and Dong Yi to assist Zhang Han, and mobilized the 200,000 Great Wall Corps stationed in the northern grasslands to go south under the leadership of Wucheng Hou Wangli to cooperate with Zhang Han. Together they destroyed the resurgent forces of the Six Kingdoms in Shandong.
During this period, Zhang Han also led the Lishan prisoner army to destroy the resurgent Wei State. King Wei Jiu committed suicide, Wei Bao escaped, killed King Tian Dan of Qi, and pursued Tian Rong, forcing Xiang Liang to lead his troops. Come to the rescue.
Finally, he defeated Zhang Han in Dong'exia, and then defeated Zhang Han again in the east of Puyang. However, just when Xiang Liang continued to pursue and was about to defeat Zhang Han in one go, he encountered Zhang Han's night sneak attack in Dingtao. Die in battle.
As soon as Xiang Liang died, the anti-Qin situation that had reversed slightly immediately turned sharply, and a power struggle began within the alliance.
Seeing this, Zhang Han thought that the Chu soldiers were nothing to worry about, so he led his army north to cross the Yellow River and chose to cross the Yellow River to completely annihilate the remaining Wei forces. He continued north to join the 200,000 Wang Li army, preparing to capture the entire Zhao state.
At this time, through Wang Li's plan against Zhao State, he pretended to be the second king to recruit Zhao general Li Liang. Li Liang killed Wu Chen's sister because King Zhao was rude to him, joined the Qin army and killed Wu Chen.
Later, they defeated Zhang Er and Chen Yu who came to support them.
At this time, Zhang Han arrived and together with Wang Lijun surrounded King Zhao in Julu. Zhang Han's army was stationed in the south, escorting grain and grass for Wang Li's army while guarding Wang Li's flanks with eager eyes, forming a pincer attack.
In desperation, King Zhao sent envoys to King Huai of Chu and other princes for help. At that time, the Qin army was very powerful, and the troops rescuing Zhao were stationed in the north of Julu City. No one dared to go to fight.
At this time, the internal power struggle in the Chu State was just over. Xiang Yu volunteered to avenge the Qin army for killing his uncle Xiang Liang. So King Huai of Chu appointed Song Yi as the top general, Xiang Yu as the second general, and Fan Zeng as the bottom general, and led the six armies. More than ten thousand people went north to relieve the giant deer.
After the Zhao army advanced to the southeast of Anyang today's Caoyang, Shandong, Song Yi was intimidated by the Qin army's arrogance and stayed for many days without daring to advance. Xiang Yu denounced Song Yi's cowardly behavior and killed him.
After receiving the news, King Huai of Chu realized that the matter could not be violated, so he made Xiang Yu a general and placed the two Chu armies of Yingbu and Jibu under his command.
After the army was integrated, all the soldiers and horses were led across the river. After crossing the river, the soldiers were given a hearty meal, and each man carried three days of dry food. Then an order was given: the boat crossing the river was pierced and sunk into the river, and the The cooking pots were smashed to pieces, and nearby houses were set on fire and burned down. This method was used to express his determination to advance without retreating and to win.
After that, they fought nine battles with the Qin army. Zhang Han defeated and fled, and Xiang Yu led his army to continue northward to attack Wang Li. The Chu soldiers outnumbered ten, and their cries moved the sky. After repelling Zhang Han, the princes' army was greatly encouraged, and they attacked Wang Li together with Xiang Yu and killed Su Jiao.
But just when Wang Li was about to be captured alive, Qin general Zhong Limei suddenly arrived with his troops, rescued Wang Li from Xiang Yu, and set up his position to block the attack of the princes' troops who came after him, allowing Wang Li to gain ground. Precious time to integrate the retreating Qin army.
After receiving the signal that Wang Li led the remaining Qin army to safely withdraw from the battlefield, he ordered to activate the overbearing mechanism built by Gong Loser. Suddenly, countless earth-breaking Saburo and mechanism snakes appeared on the battlefield, cooperating with the trebuchet attack, temporarily disrupting the chaos. Seeing the formation of the Chu army and the allied forces of the princes, Zhong Limei took the opportunity to retreat and went to join Zhang Han and Wang Li's army.
Finally, Zhang Han and Wang Li, who were retreating and recuperating, were found in Jiyuan. Then the three armies merged into one and had a long confrontation with Xiang Yu's army stationed on the south bank of Zhangshui River.
During this period, Xiang Yu led his army to attack the Qin army many times, but was repulsed. In the end, he had no choice but to give up. At the same time, he continued to send people to harass Zhang Han's grain road, hoping to cause the Qin army to run out of food.
On the other hand, people are constantly sent to inquire about the current situation of the Tenglong Legion led by Long Qie.
It turned out that Long Qie, who had never appeared on the battlefield, had led the Tenglong Army under Xiang Yu's instructions long before the Battle of Julu, with Zhang Liang as the military advisor. When the main force of the Qin Army was attracted by Zhao Guo and Xiang Yu, One road leads directly to Xianyang. 7·8·中文··七八
Along the way, they recruited surrenders and rebels, and their military strength continued to grow. They captured cities and territories and restored South Korea. When they arrived at Wuguan, the number of this army reached 100,000.
Finally, under Zhang Liang's strategy, he captured Wuguan, defeated the Qin army in Yaxia, and advanced to Lantian near Xianyang, the capital of Qin.
But it was here that the troops led by Long Qie encountered an ambush by the Qin army that had never been seen before. In the end, they were defeated and killed, and Zhang Liang was captured.
It wasn't until Zhang Liang was forced into the camp and met with the commander-in-chief that he learned that the commander-in-chief who commanded the rapid annihilation of Long Qie's Tenglong Legion was none other than Han Xin, whom he had met once before in Songhai.
The troops led by Han Xin were the troops of King Chengyu of Han.
It turns out that between the time Zhang Han and Xiang Yu fought in Julu and were defeated and stationed in Jiyuan, the Qin court also underwent earth-shaking changes.
Because the war in Shandong has not stopped, Hu Hai repeatedly sent envoys to question Zhao Gao, "Didn't the Prime Minister always say that thieves in Guandong cannot become popular? How did Ling Tian get to this point?"
Zhao Gao understood that the second generation had become suspicious and dissatisfied with him, so he secretly discussed countermeasures with his brother Zhao Cheng and his son-in-law Yan Le.
Plans were made for a regicide coup.
After everything was arranged, he pretended that the coalition of princes had reached Xianyang, deceived Hu Hai out of the palace, and then asked his son-in-law Yan Le to lead his troops to surround and kill him.
And just when Zhao Gao was about to choose another puppet emperor from among Ying Zheng's children, the King of Han Chengqi, who was supposed to be in Lingnan, suddenly appeared and killed him with one move, and then ordered all the people who accompanied him. The masters of the Yin Yang family and the Taoist Tianzong, together with the Luowang Tianzi killer Jing Salad who had long taken refuge in him, killed all Zhao Gao's inner circle in Xianyang City.
After leaving Hanzhong, he crossed to Chencang secretly, and the army that had been stationed outside the city entered the city. After completely taking control of Xianyang, he held a court meeting and proclaimed his son Ziying the third emperor of Qin.
After Ziying ascended the throne, he immediately issued an edict, asking Cheng Fu to mobilize soldiers from the fief to serve the king and assist Zhang Han, Wang Li and others in annihilating the coalition of princes.
At this time, it was reported that Wuguan was breached by Long Qie, so Cheng Qi ordered Han Xin to lead the army to destroy Long Qie, the rebel who broke into the pass. This was the Battle of Lantian.
