Xiang Liang was originally from Xiaxiang County, now Suqian, Jiangsu Province. The Xiang family was a general of Chu for generations. His father Xiang Yan, a well-known general of the Chu state, was defeated by the Qin general, Wang Jian, committed suicide, and Chu state was immediately destroyed. Xiang Liang’s father lost his country and died, and his family hatred made him hate the Qin Dynasty. Later, in the end of the Qin Dynasty, he was wise and brave. He took advantage of the situation and organized eight thousand Jiangdong soldiers to join the torrent of overthrowing the Qin Dynasty. The victory of the festival became the main force against Qin.
So, why did Xiang Liang, who was both wise and brave, die at the hands of Qin Jiang Zhang Han? This has to talk about the Battle of Dingtao in 208 years ago. After Xiang Liang Zizai Dong'e defeated the Qin Jun and rescued Tian Rong, he still chased Zhang Han, who was defeated by him, and confronted him several times along the way. Zhang Han couldn't resist it and had to lead his army to retreat to Puyang City. Xiang Liang failed to attack the city several times, and moved his army to attack Dingtao. However, Dingtao also had the Qin army defending, Xiang Liangjiu couldn't attack, he simply sent Liu Bang and Xiang Yu to continue to lead the west expedition, stationed himself in the city, waiting for the rabbit.
Zhang Han at this time has already rested the army, ready to wait for the opportunity. Although he held fast to Puyang, he still sent troops out every day to scout the situation of the Chu army, and at the same time he sent troops to various places.
Since Xiang Liang’s West Expedition, every battle must be won, I can’t help being proud. I feel that the Qin Army is nothing but this. Therefore, outside Dingtao City, he saw the Qin Army’s continuous reinforcements. He did not expect to recall the two Liu Xiang, nor did he strengthen guard and prevention, instead he ate and drank in the account every day. And those soldiers, seeing Xiang Liang like this, were too lazy to take care of things, either drinking or sleeping. Zhang Han had already spotted these situations clearly, and felt that an opportunity had come.
Actually, at this time, Xiang Liang’s counsellor Song Yi saw the clues and reminded Xiang Liang that the Qin army was increasing troops, and hoped that he would pay attention to the movements of the Qin army, make preparations early, and not be insensitive. Unexpectedly, after Xiang Liang heard this, he ridiculed Song Yi for worrying. Seeing Xiang Liang Jiaoheng, Song Yi found an opportunity and asked to go. After Song Yi envoys, no one talks much in front of Xiang Liang, and Xiang Liang continues to drink and have fun.
However, when Xiang Liang was paralyzed, Zhang Han quietly led his army to attack Dingtao from Puyang. One stormy night, Zhang Han ordered the soldiers to walk quickly, and rushed to the outside of Dingtao City overnight. The soldiers split into the Chu camp in two ways. The poor Chu army was still sleeping soundly in Chu. The sound of killing was so loud that many people dreamed. Before waking up, he was a ghost under the sword.
Xiang Liang was awakened in a dream, holding a short sword beside him, and hurriedly challenged. Zhang Han was holding a big sword to kill the general. The two of them met each other. Xiang Liang was already panicked, and Zhang Han swept away. With a single knife, Xiang Liang was split in half, and a generation of heroes died.
The death of Xiang Liang only proved one constant truth: the arrogant soldier must be defeated!
