Historical background
In September of the second year of Qin Ershi (208 BC) (October of the first year of Qin Dynasty, October 2009 to September 2008 was a leap month), after General Qin Jun defeated and killed Xiang Liang, the leader of Chu's anti-Qin rebels, he thought that Chu was not worried enough, so he crossed the Yellow River and joined forces with 200,000 Wang Lijun (Great Wall Army) to attack Zhao and defeated him.
At that time, Zhao Xie was the king and Chen Yu was the general. Zhang Er, as a country, escaped into Dalucheng. Zhang Han ordered the king to leave and surround the stag. His army was stationed in the south of Julu and built a tunnel with walls on both sides to transport food and grass to them. As a general of Zhao, he led tens of thousands of foot soldiers stationed in the north of Julu. This is the so-called Hebei army.
In desperation, the prince of Zhao sent messengers to Chu Huaiwang and other governors for help. It was very powerful at that time, and Zhao's army was stationed in the north of Julu City. Chen Yu once sent Chen Ze and five thousand people to test the strength of Qin Jun. As a result, when he got there, he was completely annihilated. From then on, no one dared to fight against the allied governors.
In September (leap month) after the second year of Qin Ershi (208 BC), the Chu Huaiwang camp was divided into two groups, with Qing Zi champion Yi Song as the general, Lu Gong Xiang Yu as the second, and his father Fan Zeng as the end, leading tens of thousands of troops to the north to solve the plight of the giant deer; On the other hand, Liu Bang was the commander in chief and attacked Guanzhong. Chu Huaiwang promised that whoever attacked Shimonoseki first would be the king of Guanzhong.
After assisting Zhao Dajun to advance to Anyang (now southeast of Cao County, Shandong Province), Chu said it was best to wait until both Qin and Zhao were defeated, so that the Chu army would not advance for 46 days. In November of the third year of Qin Ershi (208 BC) (from 208/KLOC-0 to September 2007 in the third year of Qin Ershi), Xiang Yu informed on Yi Song and killed him. Chu Huaiwang made Xiang Yu a general, and divided Lu Bu and Pu Jun into two armies.
