Cut off all retreat
In December of the third year of Qin Ershi, Xiang Yu led Chu troops to the Yellow River south of Julu County, and immediately sent Ying Bu and General Pu to lead twenty thousand rebel troops to cross the river to save Julu. When crossing the river for the second time, the first battle was a small victory, and General Zhao urged the troops to enter. Then, Xiang Yu led the whole army to cross the Yellow River, ordered the whole army to burn down houses and tents, and brought only three rations to show his determination to defeat the enemy without fighting. He took the giant deer with lightning speed, defeated Qin Jun, who was guarding the tunnel in Zhang Han, cut off Wang Li's grain route and surrounded it.
Xiang Yu's determination and courage greatly inspired the soldiers. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's army, and all of them were in high spirits, and they fought more and more bravely. After nine fierce battles, he was finally defeated, Wang Li was captured alive, and Qin Jiang Su Jiao was killed. Qin set himself on fire, and other soldiers died or fled. Qin Jun, who besieged the stag, collapsed in this way.
Watch the battle on the barricade.-sit down and watch.
At this point, the majesty of the Chu army overwhelmed the vassal army; There are more than a dozen battalions in the vassal state that saved the giant deer, but they dare not send troops to attack. When the Chu army attacked Qin Jun, the generals of the vassal army watched the battle in the camp. Seeing that ten Chu soldiers are equal to one, shouting ShaSheng is earth-shattering, and all the vassal soldiers are frightened. After defeating Qin Jun in this way, Xiang Yu called the generals of the vassal army. None of these generals walked on their knees when they entered Yuanmen, and none dared to look up. Xiang Yu became the general of the vassal army, and all the vassals were under his command.
However, in Historical Records of Zhang Er and Biography of Chen Yu,
During the Jian 'an period of Tongzhi in the Northern Song Dynasty, Sima Guang synthesized Sima Guang's statements from 2000 to 2000-790,000 in Historical Records, Biography of Xiang Yu and Biography of Chen Yu in Zhang Er, which were expressed as follows: "When Xiang Yu learned that he was leading his troops to cross the river, they all sank, burned his kettle, burned his house, and left three points of grain to show that his soldiers were going to die. When he arrived, he surrounded Wang Li and met Qin Jun. After nine wars, he was defeated, but Zhang Han led his troops. Ministers dared to attack Qin Jun, so they killed Su Jiao and captured the king. If you don't fall, you will burn yourself. "
A decisive battle between the two armies
Zhang Han's army was stationed in the spine, and Xiang Yu's army was stationed in Zhanghe South. The two armies confronted each other, but they were deadlocked. Because of Qin Jun's repeated retreat, Qin Ershi sent someone to question Zhang Han. Zhang Han was afraid and sent Sima Xin, who has a long history, back to the court for instructions. Sima Xin went to Xianyang and lived in Sima Gate outside the palace for three days. Zhao Gao won't pick him up. He doesn't trust him. Shi Simaxin was afraid and ran back to his original army, but he was afraid to make the same mistake again. Zhao Gao did send someone to catch up, but he didn't catch up. Sima Xin returned to the army and reported to Zhang Han: "Zhao Gao monopolized the power of the imperial court, and the people below could do nothing. Since we can win the battle, Zhao Gao must be jealous of our exploits; If we don't win, we will all die. I hope you will seriously consider this situation! "
At this time, Chen Yu also wrote a letter, in which he wrote: "Tian Lei, as a general of Qin, conquered the capital of Chu in the southern expedition, slaughtered Guo Si's army in Ma Su in the northern expedition, laid countless cities and seized countless lands, and finally died. Meng Tian, also a general of the State of Qin, drove away the Huns in the north, opened up a land of thousands of miles in Yuzhong, and was finally killed by the Zhou Dynasty. Why is this? Because they made such great contributions, Qin Chaoting couldn't reward everyone, so he found a legal excuse to kill them. Now, General, you have been a general of A Qin for three years, with hundreds of thousands of casualties. More and more governors from all over the country have joined forces for a while. Zhao Gao has been flattered by Ah Geng for a long time, and now he is critically ill. He was also afraid that Qin Ershi would kill him, so he wanted to find a legal excuse to kill the general to shirk his responsibility and let others take the place of the general to avoid his own disaster. General, you have been gone for so long, and many people in the imperial court have bad feelings for you. You were killed for meritorious service, and you were killed for inaction. And it is clear to all that God wants to destroy Qin, whether it is a wise man or a fool. Now, general, you can't tell anyone, but you're dead and you have to stay alone for a long time. Aren't you sad? It is better for the general to turn around, unite with the princes, discuss peace and attack Qin, divide the land of Qin, and call the orphans of the kings to the south. Which is better than being tortured and killed? " Zhang Han hesitated, secretly sent troops to be nice to Xiang Yu, and wanted to conclude a peace treaty. When the peace treaty failed, Xiang Yu ordered General Pu to lead his troops through Sanhujin day and night, and stationed troops to the south of Zhanghe River, and suffered repeated battles and defeats. Xiang Yu led the whole army to attack Qin Jun and completely defeated Qin Jun.
Xin' an Jiang Sha
Zhang Han sent someone to see Xiang Yu and wanted to sign a peace treaty with him. Xiang Yu called the officers to discuss and said, "There is not much food and grass in the army. I want to promise them to sign the contract. " The officers all said, "All right." Xiang Yu and Zhang Han met in Yin Ruins on the south bank of Huanshui. After signing the covenant, Zhang Han couldn't help crying when he saw Xiang Yu, and told Xiang Yu about Zhao Gao's evil deeds. Xiang Yu named Zhang Han Wang Yong and incorporated him into Xiang Yu's army. Sima Xin is a general and Qin Jun is a pioneer. The battle of the stag is over.
The troops arrived in Xin 'an. The officers and men of the vassal army used to be enlisted and stationed in the frontier fortress. Many officers and men in the Qin Dynasty are not treated well when they pass by. After Qin Jun's surrender, many officers and men of the vassal army pursued their victory, bossed them around like slaves and insulted them wantonly. Many officers and men privately said, "General Zhang tricked us into surrendering to Zhuang Ke. It would be great if we could enter the customs and destroy Qin. " Otherwise, the vassal army will take us captive back to Kanto, and the Qin court will definitely kill our parents, wife and children. "I secretly visited the officers and men in Qin Jun, learned about these comments, and reported them to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu summoned General Pu and said, "There are still a large number of officers and men who are still not satisfied. If they don't obey the orders of Guanzhong, things will be dangerous. Why not kill them and leave Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Chang Shi and Dong Jin in Qin? " As a result, Chu Jun buried more than 200,000 people overnight in Qin Jun, New Annan.
The influence of war
Xiang Yu crossed the rubicon, took the lead in conquering Qin Jun with dauntless spirit when the armies of the vassal states were stagnant, and led the rebels of the vassal states to annihilate the king and leave the army. Eight months later, he forced 200,000 Zhang Han people and Qin soldiers to surrender. Since then, Xiang Yu has established his leading position in various rebel armies. After this war, the main force of the Qin dynasty was lost, and it existed in name only.
Xiang Yu went north to save Zhao and captured Wang Li alive. At the same time, Liu Bang took advantage of his main force to be contained in Hebei, and also took advantage of his weakness to lead the army westward and enter the customs first. In the third year of Qin Ershi's reign,
