How did Zhang Chu die?

The word "Zhang Chu" appeared at the end of Qin Dynasty when Chen Sheng and Guangwu led the peasant uprising. It was first recorded in historical records, such as the Biography of Qin Shihuang: "In July, Chen Sheng and others stationed in the garrison and turned to Jing, calling it' Zhang Chu'." "The Legend of Emperor Gaozu" said: "In the autumn of the first year of Qin Ershi, Chen Sheng and others set out to wait for the second king of Chen, nicknamed' Zhang Chu'." "Chen She Family" said: "Chen She is king, and posthumous title is Zhang Chu." In addition, the word "Zhang Chu" is also found on the silk book discovered by archaeologists at Mawangdui No.3 Han Tomb in Changsha, Hunan. The exact meaning of "Zhang Chu" here is quite inconsistent with the historian's explanation, and there is no conclusion yet. Some people think that Chen Sheng and Guangwu Uprising established the first peasant regime in the history of China, with the title of "Da Chu". When the Peasant Uprising Army occupied Chen County, its official founding name was "Zhang Chu", which was the second name of the peasant regime in Chen Sheng. Some people don't agree with the above statement, and think that the number recorded in Historical Records is Zhang Chu, and the word "Zhang" is a verb, meaning "Zhang Da". "Zhang Chu" is a verb-object phrase. The so-called "posthumous title Zhang Chu" is a call for the expansion of Chu State, not to say that Chen Sheng really became "King Zhang Chu" and established "Zhang Chu State". As for why Chen Sheng was nicknamed Zhang Chu, it was because the peasant army wanted to call on the people to rise up against the rule of the Qin Dynasty under the banner of Chu. This is a kind of propaganda, a strategy to win people's hearts. Some people think that the word "Zhang" in Zhang Chu is a verb, meaning "establish" rather than "open". Because at this time, Chu has already been destroyed by Qin, how can it be said that it is "wide open" when it is destroyed? Therefore, the name "Zhang Chu" should be interpreted as claiming to establish the State of Chu. According to the silk materials unearthed in Mawangdui, some people think that the Saturn latitude table in the silk book Wuxing Zhan is a kind of table, which lists the year numbers of Qin and the early Han Dynasty, and replaces the year numbers of Qin I and II with "Zhang Chu", indicating that Zhang Chu was the surname of Qin, Han, Qin and Qin in the early Han Dynasty. At that time, Chen She had not unified the whole country, and the time was short, so it was natural that there were discrepancies in historical records. However, silk documents are Chu documents, and the word "Zhang Chu" is more acceptable than other historical books. Therefore, it is ok to call the regime established by Chen Sheng "Zhang Chu regime", "Zhang Chu State" and "Zhang Chu King". Others believe that according to historical records, "Zhang Chu" means "Great Chu". This is a radical phrase, not a verb-object group. In the ancient sense, "Zhang" can guide "Da", and its meaning can be universal. The country name of Chen Sheng is "Dachu", that is, "Zhang Chu". The full name of this radical phrase may only be used occasionally in more formal occasions, but it is generally called Chu, just like Han and Tang Dynasties. In addition, some people think that Zhang Chu is the independent "Wang Hao" of Bobby Chen.
