The Battle of Julu: The Battle of the Rise of the Overlord in Western Chu

The Battle of the Julu: The Battle of the Rise of the Overlord in the West Chu.

Antecedents:

Battle of Dingtao: Xiang Liang died and the anti-Qin alliance was on the verge of collapse.

From leap September in 208 BC to July in 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Sixth Wan Chu Army in a decisive battle with Qin generals Zhang Han and Wang Li in Julu, with 400,000 Qin Jun as the main force, which was called the Battle of Julu in history.

The first step, Chu Yidi soldiers divided into two ways, * * * g Qin Jun.

Zhang Han made a fatal mistake after defeating Xiang Liang's army in the Battle of Dingtao, that is, he thought that the main force of Chu had been eliminated, and other Chu troops were not worth worrying about. After careful consideration, crossing the Yellow River to attack Zhao seems to be a greater threat to the Qin Dynasty. Defeat Zhao Jun.

Zhao Guo, Zhao Xie and Prime Minister Zhang Er all fled to Dalucheng. As a general of Zhao, he led tens of thousands of foot soldiers stationed in the north of Julu, the so-called "Hebei Army". Zhao's situation was in jeopardy, so he turned to Chu Jun for help many times.

On the Qin side, Zhang Han ordered the King of Qi to leave and intervene to surround the Julu, while his army was stationed in the south of the Julu and built a tunnel with walls on both sides to transport food and grass to them. At this time, the situation is very critical. If Qin really laid a huge deer, then the arrogance will be even more arrogant, and the anti-Qin alliance will go from bad to worse and even be completely eliminated.

Chu side is a mess at this time. Chu Huaiwang, Xiang Liang's puppet, began to make his own decisions. With Xiang Liang's warning, I felt terrible, so after getting Zhao's help, I thought that the general, with Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng as lieutenants, led 60 thousand troops to the north to save Zhao, and sent Liu Bang to lead a small number of troops to the western expedition to the Guanzhong, and promised to "set the Guanzhong first."

The second step, the battle of "General":

In 207 BC, Yi Song led a huge Chu army, arrived near the battlefield and stayed for 46 days.

Xiang Yu was very dissatisfied with this. He said, "Qin Jun is just outside Julu City. He should cross the river as soon as possible in such a critical situation. Then we will cooperate with Zhao Guoli and we can break Qin Jun. "

However, Yi Song also has his own concerns in private. He wanted to take advantage of the fisherman when Qin and Zhao were at war, so he said to Xiang Yu: "My husband is determined to win, and he is unstoppable, and his righteousness is not as good as the public; Sitting and moving is not as good as justice. " In this way, he retorted that Xiang Yu was brave and foolhardy, and ordered the whole army: "If anyone is as fierce as a tiger, as ruthless as a sheep, as greedy as a wolf, as strong as an angel, cut them all!" Suggest killing Xiang Yu if you don't listen.

During the 40-day waiting, Yi Song sent his son Song Xiang to Qi as an ambassador. He held a farewell party for his son with great fanfare and sent it to Wuyan, where he held a "drinking party". At that time, the weather was cold, the rain was pouring down, the foot soldiers were hungry and cold, and because Yi Song was too slow to send troops, he gave a banquet to entertain his son ... Xiang Yu took this opportunity to arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers with Song Yizhi.

In November, on the forty-seventh morning of inaction, Xiang Yu directly entered the account and beheaded the public, announcing to the foot soldiers: "The king of Chu ordered people to punish him for conspiring against Chu!" The generals said, "The first to establish Chu is the home of the general, and now the general will stop the chaos."

Later, General Huan Chu and his father and son reported to him, and then they had to appoint Xiang Yu as the general and continue to lead troops to save Zhao.

In the third step, Xiang Yu burned his bridges and solved the siege of the giant deer.

After Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, he immediately sent his Dangyang army and Puyang army to cross the river to rescue the giant deer. The two men didn't win the battle with Qin Jun at first. So, Xiang Yu made the boldest decision in his military action-he took all the troops on the south bank of the river, leaving no reserves. After crossing the river, he sank the boat and broke the pot, leaving only three days' rations on all the soldiers, "to show that all the soldiers are dead and no one has returned their hearts."

The Chu army crossed the rubicon, defeated Qin Jun in nine wars and nine victories, captured Wang Li, the Qin coach, and set himself on fire. Terry personally killed Su Jiao of Xiang Yu. Zhang Han was trapped because he could not get the support of Qin Ershi and Zhao Gao. Seeing that the tide was gone, he was forced to surrender 200,000 Qin Jun in Huanshui Nanyin Ruins (now Anyang, Henan). The situation suddenly reversed.

After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's prestige increased greatly. The generals sent by the governors entered Xiang Yu's big account, "without exception, they dare not look up." After this war, Xiang Yu was elected as an all-alliance general from the general of Chu, with 400,000 troops, and continued his anti-Qin cause.

Consequences:

Xiang Yu became famous in World War I, became the core of the anti-Qin alliance and began to dominate. At the same time, Liu Bangjun entered the customs first. Xiang Yu was so angry that he hurried to Xianyang

Conclusion:

This war established Xiang Yu's position as the overlord of Chu. This is the military peak of Xiang Yu and a famous battle in the ancient history of China.
