Who is Xiang Yu?
Xiang's ancestor was a general of Chu, and he was named Xiang because he was sealed in Xiangcheng (now Henan Province). His grandfather Xiang Yan was killed by Wang Jian, the general of the Qin Dynasty, in a battle to defend Chu.
When Xiang Yu was a teenager, he was not interested in reading and learning swords. Xiang Liang was very angry. Xiang Yu said, "Books are enough to remember people's names. The enemy of a sword is not enough to learn. I am willing to learn from 10,000 enemies. " So Xiang Liang taught him the art of war. Xiang Yu was very happy, but he knew a little, but he refused to finish it.
Later, because of the murder, Xiang Liang took Xiang Yu to take refuge in Wuzhong, so he made friends with people in Wuzhong.
In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang toured Huiji, and Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu followed the crowd to watch. Xiang Yu said, "He can take his place." Xiang Liang quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you will be extinct!" " Xiang Liang therefore felt that Xiang Yu was different from ordinary people. He had great ambitions, so he was highly valued. In 209 BC (the first year of Qin Ershi), the peasant uprising army led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu, under the banner of "Zhang Chu" (meaning "Zhang Da Chu State"), directed at the Qin Dynasty, and all parts of the country revolted in response. At this time, 24-year-old Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang are fighting in Jiangnan, and Liu Bang is also fighting in Jiangbei.
At that time, Huan Chu and others in the upper reaches of Qiantang River rose up. In order to expand its strength, Xiang Liang sent Xiang Yu to Huanzhu Shanzhai to contact them against Qin. Huan Chu said: "Although Qin has no way, it is very powerful. It is not brave enough to defeat the enemy. If you can defeat ten thousand people, we will obey you. There is a big tripod in the courtyard, which weighs one thousand kilograms. Can you lift it? " Xiang Yu came to the yard and let the four able-bodied men of Huanchu carry the tripod together, but the tripod did not move. Xiang Yu lifted his skirt, approached the tripod, and held it in his hand. The tripod was held high by him, and all the people present were dumbfounded and marveled at the power of Xiang Yu. Therefore, Huan Chu readily promised to join the rebel army and fight from the feather. Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's team gradually expanded to 8,000 people, called the army.
Chen Sheng, who rose up against Qin, failed one after another, but the fire of peasant uprising intensified. Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang quickly led the troops across the river to the north, constantly recruiting rebels along the way, and the team gradually expanded to 670,000 people. In northern Jiangsu, they met Qin Jun, defeated Qin Jun's vanguard, and settled in southern Shandong. Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang convened a meeting of generals from all walks of life in Xue County to discuss the great event of cutting Qin, and Liu Bang also attended. They adopted the advice of counselor Fan Zeng and made Xiong Xin, the grandson of Chu Huaiwang, king of Chu. Xiang Yu named Lu Gong and Liu Bang named Pei Gong. The insurgents won several battles in southwest Shandong, and Xiang Liang was proud. He was attacked by Zhang Han, the main force of the Qin Dynasty, and died. Xiang Yu retreated to the west of Pengcheng (now Xuzhou) and settled down. At this time, Zhang Han led 300,000 troops to attack Zhao's rebels and surrounded Zhao's huge Lucheng. Zhao Xie sent people for help many times. Chu Huaiwang appointed Yi Song as the general, Xiang Yu as the second, Fan Zeng as the last, and led 200,000 troops to save Zhao. In Anyang (now southwest of Anyang City, Henan Province), Yi Song camped out and stayed for 46 days without sending troops. Xiang Yu repeatedly advised him to stay put. Then Xiang Yu killed Yi Song and reported it to Wang Huai, who asked General Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu led the whole army across the Yellow River. He told the soldiers to take three days' dry food, smash all the pots, sink all the ships, burn all the barracks and tents, and said that he was determined to defeat Qin Jun.
Zhang Han heard that Chu Jun wanted to do or die with Qin Jun, so he divided Qin Jun into nine roads and rushed at Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu took the lead, and the whole army marched forward bravely, tossing and turning for three times, and fighting with Qin Jun for nine times, all of which won a total victory. At that time, various governors and reinforcements were afraid to fight Qin Jun at first, but when they saw that Xiang Yu's army was so brave, they were convinced. When Xiang Yu summoned the princes and generals, they all knelt down and bowed their heads forward, saying in unison, "Listen to the general."
After a short rest, Xiang Yu led a 300,000-strong army of vassals to the West, biting the Korean army tightly and forcing it to surrender.
In 206 BC, Xiang Yu led the troops to Hanguguan. Because Xiang Yu destroyed Qin Jun's main force in the Battle of Julu, Liu Bang was able to successfully seize Xianyang, Qin Dou from southern Henan and southwestern Shaanxi. Liu bang wanted to occupy Guanzhong and be king, so he sent troops to guard Hangu Pass to stop Xiang Yu from advancing westward. Xiang Yu was very angry and sent Dangyang Army and others to easily capture Hangu Pass and come to Hong Men Station near Xianyang. At that time, Xiang Yu had an army of 400,000, while Liu Bang had only100,000. In a rage, Xiang Yu said that Liu Bang must be eliminated. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked by Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo. Because Xiang Bo killed someone, he fled to Xiapi, went to Sean and made friends with Sean. At this time, Sean followed Liu Bang and Xiang Bo rode to Liu Bang's barracks overnight, told Sean the truth and advised him to run away. Sean told Liu Bang that Liu Bang was very scared and asked Sean for advice. At the prompt of Sean, Liu Bang bribed Xiang Bo to put in a good word for Xiang Bo in front of Wang Xiang. Xiang Bo rushed back to the barracks overnight and put in a lot of good words for Liu Bang in front of Xiang Yu, saying, "People will come to you tomorrow to apologize!" The next day, when Xiang Yu saw that Liu Bang really came, he hosted a banquet. Liu bang said cautiously: "After I entered the customs, I dared not make decisions, only to appease the officials and people of Qin State, and sealed the warehouse, waiting for you to get it." Xiang Yu has nothing to say after listening. But Fan Zeng predicted that Liu Bang would be a formidable enemy in the future. If he doesn't kill Liu Bang at this time, there will be future trouble. He made a gesture in a hurry, but Xiang Yu ignored it. Fan Zeng was in a hurry, and invited Xiang Zhuang to dance the sword with the intention of assassinating Liu Bang. Xiang Bo came to protect Liu Bang with a sword, but he couldn't kill Liu Bang. Liu bang was frightened and took the opportunity to go to the toilet and ran away. This is the famous "Hongmen Banquet" in history.

6 Reply: Ask for a brief introduction of Xiang Yu! Urgent! ~
A few days later, Xiang Yu led his ministers into Xianyang. Liu bang carefully led Xiang Yu to look around. The first is how to deal with Zi Ying, the surrendered king of Qin. Arguably, Zi Ying was only emperor for 46 days, and there was not much sin. But Xiang Yu and the governors of the six countries thought that Zi Ying represented the tyrant of the Qin Dynasty, so they killed Zi Ying. Facing the Epang Palace, which was 300 miles long in the Qin Dynasty, "five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion", Wang Xiang was also angry. Give the order and it will burn, and the fire will not go out for three months.
Xiang Yu stepped over Xianyang, thinking that the world events had been decided, and he honored Chu Huaiwang as the righteous emperor and enfeoffed twenty governors. Liu Bangfeng Hanwang owns Hanzhong and Sichuan areas. Claiming to be the overlord of the West Chu, he occupied the Yellow River basin and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and established Pengcheng (Xuzhou) as its capital. In fact, he commands all the princes.
Not only Liu Bang was dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's enfeoffment, but also other governors, some of whom were too small. Those who have no king suffer more. Therefore, just after the enfeoffment, Tian Rong, an old aristocrat of Qi, opposed Xiang Yu's claim to the throne. Xiang Yu led the troops to suppress Tian Rong, and Liu Bang took the opportunity to reoccupy Guanzhong. In April 205 BC, Liu Bang contacted 560,000 vassal troops, quickly moved eastward and occupied Pengcheng, the capital of Chu State. Xiang Yu learned that Liu Bang was leading troops to conquer the world and asked his generals to continue fighting in Qi, so he took 30,000 chosen men to save Cheng Peng. At this time, Cheng Peng has been captured by the Han army. Xiang Yu went to Xiaoxian County, west of Pengcheng, and met the Han army. At dawn the next day, he attacked the Han army. He rode a dark horse himself and rushed to the Han army first. The Han army was defeated, and Xiang Yu pursued from Pengcheng to Suishui. At this time, the Han army suffered 65,438+10,000 casualties and was in flight. Liu bang himself escaped under the protection of a dozen cavalry. His father and wife are both prisoners of the Chu army.
Liu Bang fled to Xingyang, Henan Province, collected defeated troops from all walks of life, and transferred a group of soldiers from Guanzhong to assemble.
Hou betrayed the overlord of Chu. Especially after Fan Zeng, the great adviser, was alienated, he left Xiang Yu, making the overlord lose an extremely important arm. Hanwang took a few troops to contain Xiang Yu's troops in Xingyang and Gaoping, told Peng Yue to cut off the supply line behind the Chu army and let Han Xin seize many places in the north and east. Han Xin's military strength has gradually developed.
In 202 BC, Hanwang retreated to Guangwu (Henan Province), and the Chu army immediately caught up with him. Hanwang sent Lu Jia and others to lobby Wang Ba, demanding that Wang Ba put his father and daughter back, and proposed to share the world equally with Wang Ba, with a gap (a stream) as the boundary. Xixia belongs to Han in the west and Chu in the east. Overlord actually agreed. General Zhong Limei, Lu Bu and others firmly opposed it, thinking it was a trap, and suggested that the overlord should not be fooled. The overlord didn't listen and exchanged peace treaties twice. Overlord had Liu Bang's father and wife Lu Fang brought back, and he also returned to Pengcheng with his team.
Hanwang made peace with the overlord, which turned out to be a delaying tactic. Only two months apart, Hanwang tore up the gap agreement and sent troops to attack the Chu army. Hanwang went to Guling first, and sent someone to urge the generals Han Xin, Peng Yue and Ying Bu to invade. On the one hand, he challenged the overlord, who glared at Liu Bang with anger and cursed him for being capricious. At that time, he led 300,000 troops of generals such as Zhong Limei, Lu Bu, Fan Chu and Yu Ziqi, and violently attacked Guling. Hanwang was defeated, left Guling and fled to the elevation. The Chu army chased the elevation and surrounded the Han army.
Liu Bang was besieged and urged Han Xin and Peng Yue to save him. But Han and Peng Jiu did not send troops, and Liu Bang was upset. Zhang Liang presented a plan and said, "If you reward it, there will be brave people." If you can promise to share the world with Han Xin and Peng Yue, they will send troops. Liu Bang then sent messengers to tell Han Xin and Peng Yue: "Join forces to attack the Chu army, and the Chu army was defeated, and Chen Jun went to the seaside to give it to Han Xin; North of Suiyang, go to Gucheng to give it to Peng Yue. " They were so happy that they all promised to send troops at once. They led the troops to kill all the way down, gathered at Gaixia and surrounded the Chu army. ?
The overlord's army camped under watch and saw the food run out. Overlord insisted on doing his duty, but Yuziqi and Jibu advised him not to do his duty, to open the gap and break through. So the overlord rushed forward with a group of people. Although the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, no one could resist the courage of the overlord. He wouldn't let go even when he saw Han Xin. Han Xin only fights and never retreats. After chasing for several miles, the overlord scattered the Han soldiers along the road, but turned back a group and came again. After all, he can't handle Han Xin's house of flying daggers by himself. Most of the Chu soldiers were killed and wounded, and the Han soldiers were surrounded there, and they were enemies in all directions. Overlord had to turn back to Gaixia camp. Tell the soldiers to defend carefully and see if they have a chance to fight again. At night, when he heard that the Han army was singing Chu songs in all directions, the overlord was startled and said, "Did the Han army completely conquer Chu?" Otherwise, how could there be so many Chu people in the Han army? "So the overlord got up in the middle of the night, drank in the military tent, faced his wife Yu Ji, wrote a song and sang passionately:"
If you are angry at the world, you will not die when it is unfavorable.
What can I do without dying? What if you are worried? "?
After the song of overlord, Yu Ji replied: "Han soldiers have just arrived, and the four sides are singing;" Your majesty's spirit is exhausted and he can't live with my concubine. " Singing suicide, in order to eliminate the ideological burden of the overlord and stimulate his fighting spirit to break through.
Overlord set foot on Wu Zhui horse, with more than 800 people, such as injured tigers, rushed out of the tight encirclement overnight and galloped south. It was only at dawn that the Han army discovered it and ordered five thousand cavalry to chase it. The overlord crossed the Huaihe River, and only a hundred people followed him on horseback. Overlord went to Yanling (now northwest of Dingyuan County, Anhui Province), lost his way, fell into a swamp and was caught up by the Han army.
Overlord and led the troops to the east, to the east, only 28 people, followed by thousands of Han cavalry.
Overlord north to Wujiang (northeast bank of Anhui county), Wujiang Pavilion moved the boat and waited on the shore. He said to the overlord, "Jiangdong is small, with thousands of miles of land and hundreds of thousands of people. It is enough to be king. I hope the king will cross the river soon. " The overlord said, "How can I have the face to see my elders in Jiangdong now? I know you are a loyal elder. Let me give you this beloved mare! " So let the men dismount and walk and fight with short weapons. Killed many Han soldiers, and the overlord was injured in more than ten places. He turned around and saw a general named Lv Matong. He said, "You are an old friend of mine. I heard that Hanwang bought my head with money to seal Wan Huhou. I'll give it to you as a personal favor! " Say, commit suicide. 3 1 died.
In the anti-Qin struggle, Xiang Yu was the winner who commanded the insurgents to destroy the main force, but he failed in the competition with Liu Bang. For Xiang Yu's short and tragic life, Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty, praised it like this: "Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. " Sima Qian, a historian of the Western Han Dynasty, fully affirmed Xiang Yu's achievements, saying that Xiang Yu "started in the middle of a Long Mu, and within three years, five princes were destroyed", and "although he did not finish his position, he has never seen it in recent times." Xiang Yu was unusually brave on the battlefield. He glared at him, but the enemy generals dared not look at him, but did not dare to do it. Usually, I am respectful and affable to people, and I cry and eat when I am sick. In Sima Qian's works, Xiang Yu is a brave and generous hero. Although he failed, his brave, bold and aboveboard character has become a model of heroes in people's minds and will never be forgotten.
