209 BC, the first year of Qin II.
This year, the majestic First Emperor has already flown away. Li Si and Zhao Gao colluded with each other to give death to Fusu and Meng Tian, and the Great Qin Empire finally fell into the hands of Hu Hai.
After ascending the throne, Hu Hai listened to Zhao Gao's advice and began to purge the ministers who opposed him in the court, and Zhao Gao also began to install his power openly into the vacant positions, and Daqin's ** began to collapse.
In the second year of Qin II, Zhao Gao began to tilt power towards the government and the opposition with the help of Hu Hai's entrustment, and after successfully framing Li Si, he finally became the first person in the Qin court. In order to make Hu Hai indulge in pleasure, Afang Palace started construction again and requisitioned Ding and grain, and the people of the world were struggling to make a living.
On the way to Yuyang to serve in the military, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang missed the prescribed time due to heavy rain, and began to take risks for fear of the punishment of the Qin law, and they led 900 soldiers to launch an uprising together.
The world has been suffering for a long time. The revolt went unusually well, and its numbers soon reached tens of thousands. After capturing Chen (today's Huaiyang, Henan), Chen Sheng established the "Zhang Chu regime" and began to divide his troops to the hometowns of Wei and Zhao, while the main force marched towards the Qin court in Guanzhong. For a time, the world shook.
After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang lit the first fire, the ambitious Haoqiang in the world and the original nobles of the Six Kingdoms also raised troops one after another, and the entire Great Qin Guandong Land instantly rose in flames.
As for the Qin court, due to Hu Hai's wanton killing after succeeding to the throne and Zhao Gao's power grabbing, the government was chaotic and people were superficial. It wasn't until Chen Sheng's army came to Xianyang that he remembered the strategy of defending against the enemy. In the silence of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Han, who was a young man, asked for the order to send the prisoners of Lishan as soldiers to alleviate the emptiness of the central force, and second, he could also have the ability to resist the imminent rebellion.
Hu Hai, who received a satisfactory answer, directly appointed Zhang Han to lead an army of prisoners to quell the rebellion. The army of convicts, who had been pardoned and encouraged by Qin Gong, showed high morale, and the army of Zhou Wen of Wu Guangsuo's army, which arrived in Guanzhong, defeated Zhang Han and killed himself after Zhang Han broke through Michi. The victorious Zhang Han also began to march towards Xingyang.
At this time, in the face of the menacing Zhang Han army, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's army were a picture of fighting for power and profit, and with the assistance of Tian Zang, a general under Wu Guang, Chen Sheng easily got rid of Wu Guang and took back all his rights. But when Chen Sheng was full of confidence in fighting Zhang Han, the cruel reality told him that he failed, or failed.
Along the way, Chen Sheng's Zhang Chu regime collapsed and dispersed, although there was still sporadic resistance, but it did not cause much resistance, and finally Chen Sheng, who was defeated like a mountain, was killed by his coachman. As soon as Chen Sheng died, the figure that stood in front of the anti-king in the world was gone, revealing the nobles of the Six Kingdoms who were hiding behind him.
Zhang Han then began to attack the remnants of these six countries, besieging the king of Wei, trapping the king of Qi, and breaking the coalition army, and was invincible for a while. But there are so many anti-thieves in the world, as early as when Zhang Han attacked, the king of Wei sent envoys to the anti-kings to seek reinforcements.
Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang of Chu led reinforcements to quickly meet Zhang Han under the city of Dong'e, because he was in the middle of the two breads of reinforcements, Zhang Han could only choose to retreat to the west, and finally was attacked by Xiang Liang from Xiang Liang of Chu again when he retreated into Puyang City. In the face of Zhang Han, who was stubbornly defending Puyang, Xiang Liang also despised the Qin army because of his victory in both battles, and finally beheaded Zhang Han under his horse after receiving reinforcements from Guanzhong, and the Chu army was defeated.
At that time, the Chu Yi army, which had lost the army led by Xiang Liang, was no longer worried and led the army to the north to attack Zhao. However, King Zhao and other Zhao nobles fled into Julu, and Zhang Han ordered Wang Li to lead 200,000 border troops south to enter Julu, while his own garrison was in the Thorn Plain south of Julu City to rest.
However, Wang Li obviously failed to bear the prestige of his ancestors Wang Jian and Wang Ben, and he couldn't attack the giant deer in the lonely city for a long time. After resting, Zhang Han's army had two choices, one was to go north to join Wang Li to destroy Zhao, and the other was to go east to Pengcheng. The life and death turning point of the Qin Dynasty was also destined in this choice.
In the face of the Qin army's siege of Julu, all the anti-Qin armies in the world felt pressure on the aggressive Qin army, and in order to avoid the death of the lips and teeth, all countries sent large armies to relieve the siege. And Xiang Yu has also been famous all over the world since then.
In the face of the powerful Qin army, all kinds of reinforcements stagnated, only Xiang Yu rushed to the city of Julu to avenge Xiang Liang's revenge, personally led 20,000 troops to fight against Wang Li's 200,000 Great Qin border army, and cut off Wang Li's grain route. Zhang Han, who heard the news, fought fiercely with Xiang Yu nine times, but did not break the grain route blocked by Xiang Yu. Seeing that Xiang Yu had repeatedly repelled the siege of Zhanghan's army, the multinational reinforcements also began to join the besieging of Wang Li's team, and Wang Li's army, which was about to lose food, was quickly broken by the coalition army, Qin general Su Jiao, Qin general Shejian raised fire **, but the commander Wang Li was captured by the coalition army.
The bad news of the loss of 200,000 troops in the First World War made Zhang Han frightened, although the army of the headquarters did not suffer much loss, but Zhang Han, who was the most counterinsurgent commander, could not escape the blame, so he sent the chief Shi Sima Xin to Xianyang to ask Zhao Gao to inquire about the conclusion of the court on the outcome of the battle. But Zhao Gao had long been jealous of Zhang Han, who had been in charge of the army for a long time, so he deliberately took this opportunity to beat and beat. But Sima Xin was obviously frightened by Zhao Gao's actions, and escaped from Xianyang overnight and returned to Zhang Han's army, instilling in Zhang Han the truth that Zhao Gao was jealous and wanted to cause harm, and Chen Yu also cited the cases of Bai Qi, Meng Tian and other generals who were executed by the Qin court's suspicion, and signaled Zhang Han why not unite with the princes from all walks of life, sign a peace treaty, attack Qin together, cut the land as the king, sit in the south, and call it a lonely widow. Zhang Han's heart was moved, in the face of a possible threat from Xianyang, it was obviously a better choice to cooperate with the princes with a large army in hand.
Zhang Han, who had the intention of defecting, immediately sent an envoy to meet Xiang Yu and put forward his own request, but there was no negotiation. Subsequently, although Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han many times, he was never able to severely damage Zhang Han's army, so he could only accept Zhang Han's request and establish Zhang Han as the king of Yong.
Zhang Han surrendered, took the last army that the Qin Dynasty could call, and began to turn around and attack Guanzhong. The Qin Dynasty lost its capital and could only retreat in the menacing wave, and the first emperor's thousand-year-old imperial dream also dissipated in just a few years.
