Chapter 39 of Zi Zhi Tong Jian: Liu Bang enters the customs.

In the last chapter, we talked about Qin Ershi and Hu Hai's suicide because of Zhao Gao's conspiracy. Zi Ying, King of Qin, became the new monarch of the Qin Empire. Zi Ying is said to be quite talented, but the Qin empire was riddled with holes and hopeless. Although Ziying designed and killed the traitor Zhao Gao, he was unable to save the country's situation, because Liu Bang, the emperor gaozu, had entered Hangu Pass and arrived at Xianyang at the gates.

At the beginning, Chu Huaiwang sent Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to attack the State of Qin, and agreed that the first one was king. Xiang Yu has been fighting Qin Jun's main force in the north, so he entered slowly. On the way to the west, Liu Bang made a vow to be an official, and most of the counties and counties in Qin Jun were surrendered by him, and entered the customs without fighting. In 206 BC 10, Liu Bang arrived at Bashang, which is near Lantian County in the southeast of Xi. Zi Ying, the king of Qin, saw that the tide was over and went out of the city to surrender to Liu Bang. At this time, some generals proposed to kill Ziying. But Liu refused, saying, "Chu Huaiwang sent me because I value my tolerance. Besides, people have surrendered. If you kill him, what is the difference between this and the Qin Dynasty? " So he handed Zi Ying, the king of Qin, to the official in charge of power. After Liu Bangling led the army into Xianyang, the generals scrambled to carve up the treasures of Qin State, but Xiao He was very politically minded and collected the national maps, household registration files and historical documents of Qin Dynasty, which also provided important information support for Liu Bangling's later understanding of the world. When Liu Bang entered the inner city of Xianyang, he saw the magnificent palaces and dazzling treasures of the Qin Dynasty, and he wanted to stay in the palace. At this time, General Fan Kuai advised Liu Bang to say, "Pei Gong must be a rich man if he wants to win the world." Do you want to have the whole world, or do you just want to be a miser? These luxurious things you see are the reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty. What's their use? You should go back to overlord as soon as possible, and don't stay in the palace! "Liu bang is in a mood at this time, how can you listen to Fan Kuai's advice. But Liu Bang had a famous counselor: Sean. Sean is a noble descendant of South Korea. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he also sent assassins to assassinate Qin Shihuang, but without success. Later, he joined the rebel army and followed Liu Bang. At this time, Sean said a word to Liu Bang, which was recorded in the original text: Adversity is a good advice. Fan Kuai's words are ugly, but they are the right way. You can go today because the Qin Dynasty was cruel and heartless, and you eradicated evil for the whole world. But now that I have just entered the state of Qin, I feel comfortable and enjoy myself. Isn't this for the whole world to drive dragons to tigers and leopards? How can people support you? "Liu bang was very ashamed after hearing this, so he led the army back to bully. It is recorded in the history books that Liu Bang has nothing to take from his property, while Maggie has nothing to be lucky about. Actually, it's not that Liu Bang didn't want to, but he was stopped by those people, but it's not very simple. It is very rare to know that people can remain polite and calm in the face of great temptation. After Liu Bang withdrew from Xianyang, he began to appease the people in all counties and announced the abolition of Qin Law. The people of Qin were very happy and entertained Liu Bang's officers and men with cattle, sheep and wine. I hope Liu Bang can be king in Qin State. Liu bang also moved this idea at this time. Someone advised Liu bang: "Guanzhong is rich and the terrain is dangerous." I heard that Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han and he got a pass. If Zhang Han comes, I'm afraid you won't get this place. We should quickly hold the Hangu Pass and stop the vassal army from advancing. "Liu thought it was right to do so, so he acted according to the plan. But his behavior angered another person. Who is this man and what did he do? Please watch the next episode: Hongmen goes to dinner.
