Chen Sheng, a native of Yangcheng, believes that all of you have studied the excerpts of Chen She Family in the Chinese class of Senior Three. When Bobby Chen was young, there were two famous sayings: "Wealth never forgets each other" and "Alas, a sparrow is small and has all its organs".
On the eve of the uprising, the then Qin government recruited left-handed civilians to defend Yuyang. On the way, it sent 900 people, including Chen Guang, to osawa Township and was appointed as the head of the team. However, it happened to be raining heavily and the road was blocked. It is speculated that it is impossible to reach Yuyang within the prescribed time limit. According to the Qin law, if the garrison period is delayed, it will be beheaded. So Chen Guang took advantage of the hatred of the people in the world for the Qin Dynasty and killed all the soldiers who escorted them. Then he called the guards and said, "Everyone was caught in heavy rain along the way, which delayed the time. According to the law, they should make a request. Even if you are lucky enough to die, nine times out of ten you will be sent to the frontier; A gentleman values death. Are those princes born aristocrats? "
This call kicked off the uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty. In the name of the dead Fu Su, the rebel army and Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, both showed their right arms and swore to build an altar, which was called "Da Chu" in history. Chen Sheng is a general, and Guangwu is a surname. The insurgents immediately captured osawa Township, and then captured Qixian County. After Chen Sheng captured Qixian, he ordered Ying Ge to divide his forces and attack the area east of Qixian. And he led the army to the western expedition shovel, shovel, bitter water, shovel, firewood, all captured. Ying Ge short radius captured the area east of Qixian County. By this time, he had arrived in Dongcheng, and the project was named King Chu. Later, when Ying Ge heard that Chen Sheng had become the king of Chu, he killed Xiang and reported back to Chen County, but Chen Sheng still killed him.
The rebels recruited troops along the road. By the time we arrived in Chen county, the rebels had six or seven hundred chariots, more than a thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry, so they easily occupied the county seat of Huaiyang county and ruled Chen county.
At this time, the girder Zhang Er and Chen Yu came to take refuge in the insurgents. The three local elders and heroes in Chenjun advised Chen Sheng to be the king of Chu, while Hehe advised: "The Qin Dynasty ruled without any way, and the people were in poverty. The generals decided to destroy the remnants of the world. Now he is king in Chen county, which is what everyone hopes. I hope the general will not refuse, that is, lead troops to the west and send people to find the descendants of the former six countries and cultivate his own side. But Chen Sheng didn't listen and became the king of Chu, known as "Zhang Chu", and the State of Chu restored the motherland.
Qin worshippers came back from the East and told Qin Ershi the news of the rebellion. Qin Ershi was furious and handed them over to officials for punishment. So the messenger who came back later did not dare to report the situation truthfully, only saying that it was a group of thieves, but thieves. Qin Ershi was very happy after hearing this, but in fact, the domestic situation was just the opposite of what the messengers said. At that time, the people in all districts and counties were suffering from the cruelty and harshness of Qin law.
In view of this form, Chen Shengbing divided into seven roads and attacked from all sides to expand the momentum:
Chen Wu's army crossed the Yellow River from Baimajin, and counties north of the Yellow River responded in succession. Chen Wu and others recruited soldiers along the road, and they got tens of thousands. The soldiers all call Chen Wu "Wu Xinjun". Chen Wu's army occupied more than a dozen cities of Zhao. However, other cities are still unknown, so Chen Wu led an army to attack john young in the northeast. At this time, people presented a plan for these cities to surrender without fighting, saying that the county magistrate Xu was afraid of death and wanted to surrender before other counties, but if you killed more than a dozen honest officials in front of him, then other cities would be impregnable and unable to conquer. If john young county magistrate Hou Yin is awarded, he will be allowed to travel outside Zhao Yan by car of dignitaries. Then these cities will surrender without a fight. Chen Wu adopted Kuaiche's suggestion, and sure enough, more than 30 cities in Zhao Yan's hometown surrendered without a fight.
Zhou Wen's troops retreated along the road, and the scale of the troops that arrived at Hanguguan has reached the battlefield, with hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers. Then the troops entered the customs, arrived at the scene and settled down.
Qin Ershi was shocked when he heard the news. Ministers are busy discussing countermeasures. Zhang Han, a young fu, suggested, "These resistance soldiers are convened temporarily, and their fighting capacity is not strong. If your majesty can forgive the coolies in Lishan and organize them into an army, he will certainly defeat the resistance. " So Qin Ershi asked Zhang Han to pardon the criminals and slaves in Mount Li and led them to attack the Chu army that defeated Zhou Wen's army. Zhou Wen escaped from Hangu Pass and lived in nearby Cao Yang for two or three months. During this period, no rebels supported Zhou Wen. Zhang Han chased Zhou Wen and defeated him. Zhou Wen fled to Mianchi again and stayed there for more than ten days. Zhou Wen pursued again and defeated Zhou Wen again. Zhou Wenbing defeated himself.
Zhang Er and Chen Yu in Handan heard the news of Zhou Wen's retreat. I also heard that Chen Sheng would listen to rumors and punish generals who returned from siege, such as Ying Ge, who was executed by Chen Sheng before. So they persuaded themselves to be king, and in August they became king of Zhao, appointed as general, right prime minister and Shao Sao as left prime minister, and restored the country of Zhao.
When Bobby Chen heard that Chen Wu was king, he was very angry. He wanted to kill Chen Wu and other people's families. But the Lord Cai Ci advised Chen Sheng to put the overall situation first, so Chen Sheng put 50% of his family under house arrest, congratulated the prince of Zhao on his accession to the throne, and urged Chen Wu to lead his army into Hangu Pass to attack Qin. And advised the prince of Zhao not to obey Chen Sheng's orders, and suggested taking the old Yan State and Dai State to the north and Hanoi to the south, so as to expand the territory and preserve the strength. So Chen Wu sent Han Guangbei to attack Yan, Li Liang occupied Changshan and Zhang Yan occupied Shangdang.
At this point, Chen She's army began to appear internal discord and unstable morale.
Words in February and September, Liu Bang opposed Peixian County, Xiang Liang opposed Wuxian County, and Tian Min opposed Xian Di. Let's briefly introduce these three people.
Liu Bang, born in Li Zhongyang, Fengyi County, Pei County, has a high nose, a protruding brow, and 72 moles on his left thigh. He is kind, loving, helpful, open-minded and ambitious, but he is not engaged in agricultural production. As an adult, when he became the director of Surabaya Pavilion, all local officials were teased by him. At the same time, I also like drinking, which is very feminine. Lv Gong, a native of single father county, likes to show people faces. He moved to Pei County. After seeing Liu Bang's appearance and appearance, he felt unusual and married his daughter. Lv Gong's daughter's name is Lv Zhi, the word E-E-E, which was later Lv Hou. Later, as a curator, Liu Bang sent laborers who were punished for hard labor to Lishan. On the way, many servants escaped. Liu Bang speculated that when he arrived at Mount Li, it was estimated that everyone had run away, so he released all the servants and fled to the mountains with a dozen people who were willing to follow him.
Chen Sheng arise, Peixian county magistrate also intends to respond to the insurgents. Xiao He, the slave owner, and Cao Can, the prisoner, suggested that people who fled outside should be called to help the uprising, so he ordered Fan Kuai to find Liu Bang. At this time, there were hundreds of people under Liu Bang. When the county magistrate saw this situation, he regretted it, so he ordered to close the city gate and tried to kill Cao Can and Xiao He. Xiao He and Cao Can fled the city and took refuge in Liu Bang. Later, Liu Bang called on the people of Pei County to kill the county magistrate.
Xiang Liang is the son of Xiang Yan, the former general of Chu, and Ji Xiang is the son of Xiang Liang's brother. Ji Xiang, a word feather, is more than eight feet tall and can carry a tripod. Xiang Liang had killed people before, so Xiang Yu and he fled to Wuxian to avoid the enemy. Hearing the news of Chen Sheng's arise, Shouyin Tong of Huiji County also wanted to send troops to respond to Chen Sheng, so he ordered Xiang Liang and Huanchu to command their own military forces. At this time, Huan Chu is still a fugitive in the Jianghu. Later, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu killed the chief, and called in the powerful officials he was familiar with before, asking them to collect soldiers from Wuxian and get 8,000 chosen men. Xiang Liang himself became the guard of Kuaiji County, and Xiang Yu was the lieutenant. Xiang Yu was twenty-four years old this year.
Tian Fei was a member of Tian Shi, the former monarch of Qi State, who lived in Di County at that time. As mentioned earlier, Chen Sheng ordered an attack on Wei in the north. After occupying Wei, he led his army to Di County in the east. Di county stood behind closed doors. Tian Xian in the city designed and killed the county magistrate, summoned prestigious and powerful officials and young people and said, "The governors in the world oppose Qin's independence as king. Qi has been an independent country since ancient times. I am Tian Xian, a descendant of Wang Qi, and I should be Wang Qi. So he became the king of Qi, and Qi restored the motherland.
After that, Tian Yan sent troops to attack and returned to Wei. After repelling Zhou's army, Tian Yan led the army to recover the old land of Qi in the east. After Zhou Shi returned to Wei from Di County, he wanted the son of the old Wei State to blame Wang Wei, but at that time Wei was blamed on Chen Sheng of Chenjun, so the governors wanted to be king and insisted on not accepting it. They sent people to Chen County to meet them five times, but Chen Sheng returned them, and Wei blamed Wang Wei. He thinks that he is the prime minister and Guo Wei has come back to life.
As mentioned earlier, Zhao sent to seize Hanbitsoft's land to save Yan. After Hanbitsoft captured the state of Yan, all the local strongmen planned to make Hanbitsoft a prince, but Hanbitsoft's mother was still in Zhao, and Hanbitsoft was very worried. Yan people thought that Zhao did not dare to harm Han Guang's family, so Han Guang became a prince and the State of Yan was restored. A few months later, Zhao sent Han Guang's family back to Yan.
At this point, Chen She sent six military forces, either killed or self-reliant, forming a fragmented situation. At this time, Qin returned to the Warring States regime. Since then, Qin Jun, headed by Zhang Han, has also accelerated the pace of sweeping the rebels.
As mentioned earlier, Guangwu led the army to attack Xingyang, and Li You, the chief of Sanchuan, stuck to Xinyang, and Xingyang could not attack for a long time. Chu Jiangtian consulted with Zang, saying, "The soldiers are broken and will arrive. Our army has been besieging Xingyang for a long time. When Qin Jun comes, our army will fail. It is better to leave some troops to continue to besiege Xingyang, and the rest to fight Qin Jun. Now Guangwu doesn't know how to command the battle, so we have to kill him. " Therefore, Tian Cang and others forged Chen Sheng's orders, killed Guangwu and gave his head to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng can only appoint Tian Cang as the general, and then Tian Cang ordered Li Gui and others to continue to besiege Xingyang, and led the army to fight Qin Jun who came to support in Aocang. As a result, Tian Cang died and the Chu army was defeated. Zhang Han invaded Xingyang again, defeated Li Gui, lifted the siege of Xingyang, and Li Gui died.
Since then, Zhang Han has continued to attack the five peaks stationed in Xu County. Wufeng was defeated and fled to Chen County. At this point, it has approached the rebel base in Chen County.
Qin Ershi sent Sima Xin and Dong Kun to assist Zhang Han in attacking the rebel army, Zhang Han led the army to attack Chen County, and Chu Shangzhu Cai Ci led the army to resist, but was defeated and killed. Zhang Han continued to attack, stationed Zhanghe troops in the west of Chen County, and Chen Sheng personally went into battle to bid, but the Chu army was defeated, Zhanghe died, and Chen Sheng fled to Ruyin. Later, when he went to Shenchengfu, he was assassinated by the driver Zhuang Jia who surrendered to Qin Jun.
At this point, Chen Sheng and Guangwu have all died. Zhang Chu is virtually extinct.
Later, Lv Chen, Chen Sheng's valet, revolted in Xinyang, set up an army with a pale head wrapped in a green towel, recaptured Chen County and killed it. Then Chen Sheng was buried in the first place, and posthumous title was the "hidden king".
It was six months before and after Chen Sheng became king, but he soon fell down. There are many reasons for his own failure, such as being king too early and the rebels being too divided and scattered. Sima Qian mainly summed up two reasons: one is that Chen Sheng said when he was young, don't forget each other, but after he became king, all his old friends who plowed the land together came to take refuge in him. He is worried that it will damage his prestige, kill his friends and lead Bobby Chen's old friends to leave him. Second, Chen Sheng was too harsh on ministers and generals, which led to the generals' disloyalty to him. However, although Chen Sheng died, the fire of the uprising has burned all over the Central Plains.
The beginning and end of the Chen-Guang uprising, which was serialized by the Chu-Han dispute, is the next story, the Battle of the Giant Deer.
