First, protect your position in internal affairs.
Now Chu Huaiwang is Xiong Xin, the former grandson of Chu Huaiwang, and a man named Mi Xin. They are all the same person. Because Chu is a surname, Xiong (surname and surname are two completely different concepts in the pre-Qin period). At that time, when Xiang Liang found Xiong Xin, this noble descendant was herding sheep for others. With fear, Xiong Xin came to the revolutionary base. Xiang Liang asked Xiong Xin to copy his grandfather's posthumous title and make him Chu Huaiwang. This Xiong Xin never dreamed that he would succeed. Comrade Xiang Liang thought that his grandfather's posthumous title was to satisfy the wishes of the Chu people. To say that Chu Huaiwang died a cowardly death. Like a clown and * * *, he was cheated by Yi Cheung and finally died in the State of Qin. According to the thinking of China people, it is unlucky to use this unlucky name, and the result is also unlucky. However, Xiang Liang just wants a name, and luck is not important. If this Chu Huaiwang is cheated to death by the enemy like his grandfather, it will only boost morale. But only such naivety can guarantee the stability of Xiangzi Group? I can't. Xiang Liang also made Chen Ying, his confidant, a pillar country of Chu, sealing him five counties and assisting Huaijiandu Stand (Xū YI, Xu Yi). It's good to say that assistance is actually monitoring. Xiang Liang hoped that Chu Huaiwang would not make trouble when he went out to fight. What about Xiang Liang himself? Known as Wu Xinjun. Absolutely the first! Xiang Liang put his cronies in various positions, and finally freed himself, cleaning up the State of Qin like the sunset.
Second, rely on the meritorious military service to establish and stabilize their position.
To be stable, what matters is strength. So, after several months' deployment, Comrade Xiang Liang personally led the troops to attack Camfrog (the incarnation of G ā ngf, which was just now), and together with the troops of Qi Jiangtian Rong and Tsukasa Tsuyoshi Che (jū, Ju), he went to save Dong, where he defeated Qin Jun ... Tian Rong immediately led his troops back to Qi, driving away the holiday of Qi King. Fake escape to Chu. The fake cloak fled to Zhao. Tian Tian, Tianjiao's younger brother, turned out to be a general of Qi. He stayed in Zhao, afraid to return to Qi. Tian Rong named Shi Tian, the son of Tian Yan, King of Qi. After Xiang Liang captured Qin Jun near Dong 'e, he pursued the defeated Qin army. Xiang Liang's first few hatchets were good and went well. However, it was not the main force of Qin that he defeated. It's basically a miscellaneous army. This kind of meritorious military service is unconvincing.
The following thing shows that Xiang Liang's authority is not great. Many people only listen to his orders and Chu Huaiwang's nominal orders. Sometimes you don't even listen to the name. In order to supplement the troops, Xiang Liang sent messengers to urge Qi to send troops for many times, hoping to join hands with Qi in the Western Expedition. Chu killed Tian Jia, Zhao killed Tianjiaohe, and then I sent troops. Hehe, it's almost like doing business. Xiang Liang is very unhappy. He said: Tian Ji is the king of our alliance. I have no choice but to follow me. I don't have the heart to kill him. Zhao refused to kill Tianjiao and came to the field to make a deal with Qi. Qi always refused to send troops to help the Chu army. Xiang Liang had no choice but to send obedient Liu Peigong and his nephew Xiang Yu to attack Chengyang. After Xiang Yu occupied Chengyang, he organized the Chengyang Massacre.
This massacre, mainly * * *, told the cities of Qin that this was the consequence of not surrendering. Xiang Liang himself went west and defeated in the east of Puyang. Qin cleaned up the beaten army and retreated to Puyang City. Pei Gong and Xiang Yu went to play Dingtao. This time, Qin Jun was ready, but the fighting rebels did not occupy Dingtao. Liu Peigong and Xiang Yu also know guerrilla tactics and leave if they can't win. They left Dingtao, marched westward, occupied the cities along the way until Qiu Yong, defeated Qin Jun and killed Li You. Then he turned and attacked Waihuang, but he still didn't get it. Generally speaking, these battles were fought blindly and unplanned. What does this mean? Explain that Comrade Xiang Liang lacks the ability to make overall plans. The already few troops were dispersed, and it was impossible to deal with a truly powerful opponent. What is even more depressing is that Xiang Liang doesn't know where Qin Jun's real main force is.
Xiang Liang wanted to win more battles and increase his prestige, but he didn't get it. Although several battles were won, the most important battle was not won. But then again, the unsuccessful battle was fought by Liu Peigong and his nephew Xiang Yu, which did not cause much loss to his prestige. Xiang Liang was a little proud, because under his wise and correct leadership, he almost took the offensive as the defense and won the battle. Xiang Liang's prestige reached its peak at this time.
Xiang Liang's troops set out from Dong 'e and marched west to Dingtao. Liu Peigong and Xiang Yu lost face here, so Xiang Liang should teach Qin Jun a good lesson. After a period of war practice, I finally have time to make a summary. The summary meeting was held in a grand and peaceful atmosphere. Comrades attending the meeting spoke in succession. Except the second-in-command Yi Song, all other comrades affirmed the correct leadership of Comrade Xiang Liang, and thought that following Comrade Xiang Liang would soon usher in greater victory. Yi Song can't stand it any longer. He said, Comrade Xiang Liang, after winning the battle, the generals will be proud and the soldiers will be lazy. Such an army is doomed to failure. Now the foot soldiers are a little lazy, and their anger is increasing day by day. I'm worried about you! Hearing Yi Song say this, Xiang Liang was very unhappy.
On the surface, he accepted Comrade Yi Song's opinion with an open mind. At the end of the summary meeting, Comrade Liang was assigned the next stage of work. He sent Yi Song to Qi for two purposes. One is to let this guy Yi Song leave the core of the leading group; The second is to scare Qi, who keeps giving orders, and hope that Qi will return to the revolutionary family. So he ordered to go to Qi immediately to understand the situation. Xiang Liang really lost his mind at this time, in addition to excluding dissidents, there is no other move. He turned a blind eye to the increasing Qin army. Maybe Comrade Xiang Liang really thinks that the army of Qin State is a mob.
Before the Battle of Dingtao, an episode was recorded in Historical Records, that is, Yi Song met an envoy of Qi on his way to Qi. Song Yi asked, are you going to see Xiang Liang in Wu Xinjun? The envoy of Qi replied: Yes. Yi Song said: In my opinion, Wu Xinjun's army is doomed to failure. If you walk slowly, you can avoid physical death. If you walk fast, you will catch up with the disaster. . There is no record in the history books of why the envoys of Qi went to see Xiang Liang. Now, it should be fine. After all, Xiang Liang did win several battles. Qi is unwilling to offend Xiang Liang.
However, the messenger's words are meaningful, and he is obviously taking credit. From the angle of the emissary of Qi, he was a great figure. Where is Yi Song? Whether what he said can be fulfilled or not will leave a good impression on Qi people. If Chu really fails in the future, he can still go to Qi. Where is the emissary of Qi? All he has to do is delay the meeting with Xiang Liang, and he doesn't have to take any responsibility. In that war-torn era, it was completely normal to delay a little time on the road. Yi Song's wishful thinking is good. No matter what happens, he is safe. However, Yi Song's revolution was not thorough, and it did not bring peace to itself after all. This is another story, not to mention it for the time being.
Unfortunately, Yi Song was right. When everything was ready, Zhang Han, commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty, launched an attack on the Chu army. Xiang Liang has just driven away Yi Song and is immersed in the joy of victory. Qin Jun suddenly appeared. Xiang Liang died before he could regret it. The history books do not record the course of this great war in detail. Why? I'm afraid this battle is too suspense. Compared with the recent Battle of Julu, the battle on the battlefield is nothing. The consequences of this battle were not serious, because Xiang Liang's death pushed Xiang Yu to the forefront of history. As you can imagine, if Xiang Liang died, Xiang Yu would not be the leading role. Xiang Yu does not become the protagonist, and the result of the anti-Qin struggle is really hard to say. The assumption that history does not allow is meaningless. The news of Xiang Liang's death is a heavy blow to the booming anti-Qin rebels. At that time, Pei Gong and Xiang Yu left Waihuang to attack Liu Chen, but Liu Chen insisted on not attacking. Pei Gong and Xiang Yu discussed together and said: Now Xiang Liang's army has been defeated, and all the soldiers are afraid. So, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and Lv Chen's army retreated eastward together. Lv Chen's army was stationed in the east of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's army was stationed in the west of Pengcheng, and Pei Gong's army was stationed in Dangxian. This is a decisive situation, ready to fight against Zhang Han's next attack.
