Xiang Yu Why did you kill 200,000 Qin troops? Wouldn't it be better to turn these 200,000 people into their own strength? Moreover, Xiang Yu did the same, but why did he kill these people later?
In fact, when he surrendered to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu put Zhang Han in the army and asked his subordinates Sima Xin to replace him as a general. Then, Sima Xin led this army and began to march into Guanzhong as the vanguard. This arrangement was good, but what was the problem?
Because we know that Qin fought with the six countries for many years before unifying the six countries. Not long after the unification, the people and officials of the six countries still hated the Qin people to the core, and both sides could be said to be a feud. Now that I finally saw that the Qin people failed and surrendered, wasn’t that a good time to take revenge?
So there were many revenge incidents along the way to Guanzhong, some of which were bullying, and some even secretly killed Qin army soldiers.
This made the surrendered Qin soldiers feel particularly uneasy and scared. They don’t know when they will be bullied and when they will be killed.
As the troops approached Guanzhong, the surrendered Qin army became even more uneasy. Now they can't even protect themselves. If they attacked Guanzhong, there were still wives, children, and children in Guanzhong, and if these people burned, killed, looted, what should they do?
Therefore, the morale of the army began to become unstable. Some people even said that Zhang Han was a traitor and deceived them into surrendering to Xiang Yu.
These news quickly reached the headquarters of the coalition forces of the then princes, and Xiang Yu must have been found at the headquarters of the coalition forces.
Xiang Yu said, "This is called surrender, but the soldiers did not surrender." What does it mean?
means that the general surrendered, but the soldiers below were still dissatisfied and did not integrate into us.
In this case, if Xiang Yu brought the surrendered Qin army to attack Guanzhong, Guanzhong is the hometown of these Qin army, it is easy to have an accident.
So Xiang Yu found two people, one named Yingbu and the other named General Pu. The three of them discussed how to solve this problem.
These three people are all world-class generals. What results can the powerful generals discuss? If you don’t accept it, just kill it!
When the moon was dark and the wind was high that night, Ying Bu and General Pu took advantage of the darkness to break into the Qin army's camp and killed all the 200,000 people.
Xiang Yu is indeed good at fighting, but this person's eyes are too short-sighted, and he himself never thought about how to manage and govern these Qin people ?
The appointment of King Huai at that time made it clear, "Those who enter Guanzhong first are the kings." Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army, and the main force immediately marched into Guanzhong. Isn't he just want to be the King of Qin? Now that 200,000 Qin troops have been killed, how can we face the people of Qin in the future?
It was precisely because Xiang Yu did this that the people of Qin were so devoted to helping Xiang Yu with their hearts. The root of the disaster was planted here.
On the contrary, how did Liu Bang do it?
He marched into Guanzhong all the way, minimizing casualties, appeased the people, and surrendered the Qin army. So when Liu Bang was about to reach , Xianyang, , the journey was smooth. Not only was the troops not damaged, but they gradually expanded, with nearly 100,000 people.
When Liu Bang passed Wuguan , then Ziying had killed Zhao Gao and became the King of Qin.
After Ziying became the King of Qin, the first thing he did was to immediately send the last garrison troops stationed in Xianyang to deal with Liu Bang.
This army is called Lieutenant Army. It was the army left by Qin Shihuang from that time. It was a real elite. If you really want to fight, ordinary people really can't beat it.
Liu Bang encountered the lieutenant team and thought it was a difficult bone to chew. At that time, Zhang Liang gave Liu Bang an idea. He said, "Don't worry, since that's the case, we can only use the ultimate move." What ultimate move? New weapons! What weapons are they? Cannonballs! What shells? Sugar-coated cannonballs!
After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang found the general of the Qin army and told him: " Qin Dynasty is no longer possible, you don't need to work hard for him; if you want money, I can give you a lot of money, if you want an official position, I will give you the place you are guarding now, and I will also give you a lot of land. You just need to let us go. Let's talk about it, is it okay?"
The general of the Qin army at that time thought, it was true, you can talk about it! Therefore, they let go of their guard and were about to negotiate peace with Liu Bang, but they did not expect that when they arrived at the agreed place, Liu Bang immediately ordered an attack. While they were unprepared, they wiped out the army in an instant.
In this way, Xianyang has no danger to defend, and Ziying has no soldiers to send. What should I do?
In order to prevent the people in Xianyang City from being massacred, he carried the imperial seal and wore a ribbon to come to Liu Bang's army, opened the city gate, and let Liu Bang enter Xianyang.
But when Liu Bang entered Xianyang, when he saw this palace so gorgeous and beautiful, he had fought for such a long time in his life? Isn’t it just enjoyment! So I didn't plan to leave, so I stayed in this place and didn't go anywhere else.
Liu Bang began to enjoy it there, wanting gold to have gold, and wanting beauties to have beauties.
Liu Bang is like this, and the soldiers below are the same, and they are suddenly in chaos.
At that time, in such a chaotic situation in Liu Bang's army, there were only two people who were still relatively sober. One was Xiao He . While everyone was robbing beauty and gold, silver and treasures, he ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion and loaded all the documents, picture albums, and files away.
Another person is Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang quickly found Liu Bang and advised, "King, Pei Gong , why are you still here? Have you forgotten that Xiang Yu's troops came immediately? You asked yourself if you can beat Xiang Yu?"
Liu Bang said, "How could I beat me!"
Recognizing that the situation was critical, Liu Bang calmed down and quickly withdrew the army from Xianyang.
After Zhang Liang's suggestions, Liu Bang began to make three rules for the people in the city, letting the people manage themselves and live a good life.
Liu Bang's three rules were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Qin at that time. Everyone thought that Liu Bang was a good person and they all really hoped that Liu Bang would be the leader of Xianyang.
Since Liu Bang left Xianyang, why did Xiang Yu start to hold a Hongmen banquet again?
