Translation of Historical Records of Xiang Yu's Biography

The book is the next phase, and the word feather. He was 24 years old when the uprising began. Ji Xiang's uncle's name is Xiang Liang, and Xiang Liang's father's name is Xiang Yan. He was a general of Chu who was killed by Wang Jian, a general of Qin. Xiang's family was General Chu, and he was sealed in Xiang's land, so his surname was Xiang.

When Ji Xiang was a child, he learned to write and read, but he stopped studying without academic achievements. He learned fencing again, but he didn't succeed. Xiang Liang was very angry with him. Ji Xiang said: "Writing can be used to remember names; Fencing can only deal with one person, and it is not worth learning. I want to learn the ability to beat 10 thousand people. " So Xiang Liang taught Ji Xiang the art of war. Ji Xiang was very happy, but he only knew a little about Sun Tzu's Art of War and refused to study it to the end. Xiang Liang was once arrested and imprisoned by Yuyang County of Quercus (yuè, Yue) for his involvement in crimes. He asked Cao Qian, a prisoner in Qixian County (yuàn, Wish), to write a love letter to Sima Xin, a prisoner in Oak Forest, and it was settled. Later, Xiang Liang killed another man. In order to avoid the enemy, he fled to Wuzhong County with Ji Xiang. Wu is not as talented as Xiang Liang. Whenever there is a large-scale corvee or funeral in Wuzhong County, Xiang Liang often acts as an organizer, secretly using the art of war to arrange and organize guests and young people to understand their talents. When Qin Shihuang visited Huiji County and crossed Zhejiang, Xiang Liang and Ji Xiang went to see it together. Ji Xiang said, "That man, I can take his place!" Xiang Liang quickly covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you've copied it all over the door!" But Xiang Liang thought Ji Xiang was unusual. Ji Xiang is over eight feet tall, powerful and talented. Even the local young people in Wuzhong are afraid of him.

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), Chen She and others revolted in Daze Township. In September of that year, the seal keeper in Huiji County said to Xiang Liang, "The western part of the great river has rebelled, and this is also the time when the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed. It is said that one step ahead can control others, and one step behind will be controlled. I'm going to attack the state of Qin and let you and Huan Chu lead the troops. " At that time, Huan Chu was fleeing in the grass. Xiang Liang said: "Huan Chu is at large, and others don't know his whereabouts, only Ji Xiang knows." So Xiang Liang went out and told Xiang Yu to wait outside with a knife. Then he came in and sat down with Yin Tong, the county magistrate, and said, "Please let me call Ji Xiang in and ask him to call Huan Chu." The sheriff said, "All right!" Xiang Liang called Ji Xiang in. After a while, Xiang Liang winked at Jixiang and said, "It's time to act!" So Ji Xiang drew his sword and beheaded the leader. Xiang Liang carried the head of the leader in his hand and hung the official seal of the leader. The leader's men were very frightened and fell into chaos. Ji Xiang killed one hundred people in a row. The whole county government was so scared that no one dared to get up. Xiang Liang summoned familiar strongmen and officials to explain to them that the uprising was anti-Qin, so he launched the Wu Zhongzhi uprising. Xiang Liang sent people to receive Wuzhong County's subordinate counties, and * * * got 8,000 chosen men. Heroes were deployed in the county, and Hou and Sima were appointed as a captain respectively. One of them was not appointed and came to Xiang Liang to complain. Xiang Liang said, "A few days ago, a family held a funeral. I asked you to do one thing, and you didn't succeed, so you can't be appointed. " Everyone has great respect. Therefore, Xiang Liang took Ji Xiang as the lieutenant, guarding Huiji County and touring the counties.

At this time, Guangling people asked Ping to patrol in order to occupy Guangling, but Guangling people did not surrender. Zhao Ping heard that Chen was defeated and retreated, and that Chi was coming soon, so he crossed the river on the pretext of Chen's command and worshipped Xiang Liang as the pillar of the king of Chu. Zhao Ping said, "The land of Jiangdong has been decided, so we can lead troops to attack Qin in the west." Xiang Liang led 8,000 people across the river to the west. Xiang Liang heard that Chen Ying had occupied Dongyang, so he sent an envoy to Dongyang, hoping to join hands with Chen Ying to move westward. Chen Ying, a former commander of Dongyang County, has always been honest and prudent in the county, and people all praise him as a loyal and honest person. Young people in Dongyang killed the county magistrate and gathered thousands of people. They wanted to elect a leader, but they didn't find a suitable candidate, so they came to invite Chen Ying. Chen ying refused, saying that she was incompetent, so they forced Chen ying to be the leader, and there were 20 thousand people in the county to follow. Those young people just want to make Chen Ying king. In order to distinguish themselves from other armies, they wrapped their heads in green towels to show that they were a new rebel. Chen Ying's mother said to Chen Ying, "Since I became the daughter-in-law of your Chen family, I have never heard that your Chen family has dignitaries. Now that you suddenly have such a big reputation, I'm afraid it's not a good omen. In my opinion, it is best to belong to whom. If you succeed, you can be sealed. If you fail, you will easily escape, because then you will not be the one who has attracted the attention of the world. " Chen Ying listened to her mother's words and dared not be king. He said to the generals, "Xiang is a generation of famous soldiers and a famous Chu family." Now, if we want the uprising to be a great event, we must become a family member. We rely on famous families, and the demise of the Qin Dynasty is certain. "So the army listened to him and turned the army into Xiang Liang's. Xiang Liang crossed the Huaihe River and moved northward. General and Pu also led the troops to Xiang Liang. In this way, Xiang Liang * * * with 670000 people, stationed in the next pi (p: and, batch).

At that time, Qin Jia had made Ju Jing king of Chu, stationed in the east of Pengcheng, trying to stop Xiang Liang from moving westward. Xiang Liang said to his men, "Wang Chen started the fight first, but the battle didn't go well. I have no idea where he is now. Today, Qin Jia betrayed King Chen and made Ju Jing King of Chu, which is a big violation. " So he marched on Qin Jia. Qin Jiabing fled in defeat, and Xiang Liang led the troops to pursue Hu Ling. Qin Jia turned to Xiang Liang and fought all day. Qin Jia died and the troops surrendered. Ju Jing fled to Emperor Liang and died there. Xiang Liang received Qin Jia's army, stationed in Hu Ling, ready to lead the army to the western expedition of Qin. Zhang Han, commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty, led the army to Lixian County, and Xiang Liang sent Zhu Jishi and the feather fan army to fight. As a result, Yu Fanjun died in battle, Zhu Jishi was defeated and fled back to Hu Ling. Xiang Liang then led the troops into Xue County and killed Zhu Jishi. Before that, Xiang Liang sent Xiang Yu to attack Xiangcheng, but Xiangcheng refused to surrender. Ji Xiang captured Xiangcheng, buried all the soldiers and civilians there alive, and then came back to report to Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang heard that he was really dead, so he called a party in Xue County to discuss important matters in the future. At this time, Pei Gong also rose in Pei County and was called to Xue County for a banquet.

Fan Zeng, a 70-year-old Cao resident, has been an official at home and likes to ponder strange plans. He came to lobby Xiang Liang and said, "Chen Sheng should have failed. Qin destroyed six countries, and Chu was the most innocent. Since he was cheated into Qin and didn't return, the Chu people still sympathized with him; So Chu Nangong said,' Even if there are only three families left in Chu, it must be Chu who perished in Qin'. The present uprising in Chen Sheng is not to establish the descendants of Chu people, but to stand on one's own feet and become king, which will certainly not last long. Now that you are fighting in Jiangdong, so many Chu soldiers are flying around like bees, vying to join you. It is precisely because Xiang has been a general of Chu for generations that he was able to re-establish the descendants of Chu as kings. " Xiang Liang felt that Fan Zeng's words made sense, so he went to the folk to look for Xiong Xin, the grandson of Chu Huaiwang. At this time, Xiong Xin was herding sheep. After Xiang Liang found him, in order to comply with the wishes of the Chu people, he imitated his grandfather's posthumous title and named him Chu Huaiwang. Chen Ying, a pillar country of Chu, gave him five counties to help Huai Jiandu find Taiwan (x ū y, Xu Yi). Xiang Liang's name is Wu Xinjun.

A few months later, Xiang Liang led his troops to attack (gāngfǔ incarnation, now), and took the troops of Qi Jiang and Tsukasa Tsuyoshi Che (jū, Ju) to save Dong, where he defeated Qin Jun .. Tian Rong immediately led his troops back to Qi, driving away the holiday of Qi Wang. 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. He sent messengers many times to urge Qi to send troops, hoping to join hands with Qi in the Western Expedition. Tian Rong said, "Chu killed Tian Jia, Zhao killed Tianjiaohe, and then I sent troops." Xiang Liang said, "Tian is the king of our alliance. I have no choice but to follow me. I can't bear 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 sent Pei Gong and Xiang Yu to attack Yang and massacre the city. West to Puyang, defeated, Qin cleaned up the defeated troops and retreated to Puyang. Pei Gong and Xiang Yu went to play Dingtao. Dingtao was not laid, but he left Dingtao and marched westward, occupying the cities along the way to Qiu Yong, defeating Qin Jun and killing Li You. Then he turned and attacked Waihuang, but I didn't answer.

Xiang Liang set out from Dong 'e to the west, and when he arrived in Dingtao, he had defeated Qin Jun twice, and Xiang Yu killed Li You again, so he looked down on Qin Jun even more and gradually showed his pride. Yi Song warned Xiang Liang, "If you win a battle, the generals will be proud and the soldiers will be lazy. Such an army is bound to fail. Now the foot soldiers are a little lazy, and Qin Jun is increasing day by day. I am worried about you! " Xiang Liang didn't listen, but sent Yi Song to see Qi. On the way, Yi Song met Gao Xian, an envoy of the State of Qi. He asked, "Are you going to see him?" The answer is: "Yes." Yi Song said: "In my opinion, Wu Xinjun's army is doomed to failure. If you walk slowly, you can avoid death. If you walk fast, you will catch up with the disaster. " As expected, the Qin Dynasty mobilized all the troops to reinforce Zhang Han and attack the Chu army. Ding Tao, the Chu army was defeated, and Xiang Liang died. 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 the foot soldiers are very afraid." Retreat eastward with Lv Chen's army. 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.

After defeating Xiang Liang's army, Zhang Han thought that Chu's army was not worth worrying about, so he crossed the Yellow River to attack Zhao and defeated Zhao. At that time, Zhao Xie was the king and Chen Yu was the general. Zhang Er, as a country, escaped into Dalucheng. Zhang Han ordered the king to leave and surround the stag. His army was stationed in the south of Julu and built a tunnel with walls on both sides to transport food and grass to them. As a general of Zhao, he led tens of thousands of foot soldiers stationed in the north of Julu. This is the so-called Hebei army.

After the defeat of Dingtao, the Chu army was afraid of the king of Chu, and went from Xu Tai to Pengcheng to merge the armies of Xiang Yu and Lv Chen and take command in person. Lv Chen was appointed Si Tuleideng, and Lv Chen's father Lv Qing was appointed Lingyin. Pei Gong was the prefect of the county, and Hou Wu 'an was our time.

It turned out that Gao, an envoy of the State of Qi, who met on the road, was in the Chu army. He asked to see the King of Chu and said, "Yi Song had guessed that Wu Xinjun's army would fail, and a few days later, it was defeated. When the army is not fighting, it can see the signs of failure in advance, which can be called fighting. " Chu Huaiwang summoned Yi Song to discuss military affairs with him and appreciated him very much, so he was appointed as a general. Xiang Yu was the second general, Duke Lu, and Fan Zeng was the last general to save Zhao. All the other generals belonged to Yi Song, the so-called champion of Qing Zi. The troops arrived in Anyang and stayed for 46 days without moving forward. Xiang Yu said, "I heard that Qin Jun surrounded the King of Zhao in Dalucheng. We should lead the troops across the Yellow River as soon as possible. The Chu army attacked from outside, and the Zhao army met inside. Qin Jun will definitely be defeated. " Yi Song said, "I don't think so. A gadfly that can bite a big cow cannot hurt a small tick. Now that Qin has defeated Zhao, the foot soldiers will be tired; We can take advantage of their fatigue; If you can't win, you will lead the troops to beat drums and March westward, and you will certainly annihilate Qin Jun, so it is better to let Qin and Zhao Xian fight. If we wear solid armor and fight bravely at the front, I, Song Yi, can't compare with you. If you sit in the military account and make strategic decisions, you can't compare with Yi Song. " So he ordered the whole army: "Anyone who is fierce as a tiger, rebellious as a sheep, greedy as a wolf and stubborn will be killed." He also sent his son, Song Xiang, to Qi as prime minister, personally delivering salt-free, banquet and conference guests. At that time, it was freezing, it rained cats and dogs, and the soldiers were hungry and cold. Xiang Yu said to the soldiers, "We all wanted Qi Xin to attack Qin Jun together, but he delayed for a long time. Now it is catching up with the famine, the people are poor, the soldiers eat taro mixed with beans, and the army has no food. When Liu Bei said that he did not lead troops across the river to get Zhao's grain, he joined forces with Zhao to attack Qin, saying, "Take advantage of fatigue. "With the strength of Qin State to attack the newly established Zhao State, the situation must be that Qin State takes Zhao State. When Zhao is captured, Qin will become stronger. At this time, what else can we talk about using the fatigue of Qin? Besides, our army has just lost the battle, and Chu Huaiwang is restless. All ranks in the territory have been paid to the general, and the national security is at a critical juncture. But the general did not sympathize with the soldiers, but sent his son to Qi for personal gain. This time, he is not a really benign minister. " Xiang Yu went to see the general in the morning and beheaded him in the army. He came out and issued an order saying, "Heqi plotted against Chu, and the king of Chu ordered me to put him to death." At this time, the generals were all afraid of Xiang Yu, and no one dared to resist. They all said, "The first person who helped Chu stand up was a general's family. Now it is the general who has wiped out the traitors. " So everyone asked Xiang Yu to be the general's agent. Xiang Yu sent someone to chase Yi Song's son, chased him to the territory of Qi, and killed him. Xiang Yu sent Huan Chu to report to Wang Huai. No choice but to make Xiang Yu a general, and both Dangyang Army and General Pu belong to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu killed the champion of Qing Zi, which was a great shock to Chu and became a famous vassal. He first sent Dangyang Jun and General Pu to lead 20,000 people to cross the Zhanghe River to rescue the giant deer. Only a few small victories were achieved in the war, and Chen Yu came to ask for reinforcements. Xiang Yu led the whole army across the Zhanghe River, sank all the ships, smashed all the pots and pans, burned all the barracks, and brought only three days' dry food to show that the foot soldiers would fight to the death. Troops went to the front, surrounded Wang Li, met Qin Jun, fought many times, blocked the tunnel built by Qin Jun, defeated Qin Jun, killed Su Jiao and captured Wang Li. He refused to surrender and burned himself to death. At this time, compared with Hou Qiang, the Chu army built more than a dozen camps by governors and troops who came to rescue the stag, and no one dared to send troops to fight. When the Chu army attacked Qin Jun, they all just watched in the camp. The soldiers of the Chu army were invincible, and the soldiers shouted loudly, and the vassal soldiers were frightened. After defeating Qin Jun, Xiang Yu summoned governors and generals. When they entered the military gate, they all walked on their knees, and no one dared to look up. From then on, Xiang Yu really became the general of the vassal, and all the vassals were subordinate to him.

Zhang Han's army was stationed in Acanthopanax Senticosus, and Xiang Yu's army was stationed in Zhanghe South. The two armies confronted each other, but there was no war. Because of Qin Jun's repeated retreat, Qin Ershi sent someone to ask Zhang Han. Zhang Han was afraid and sent Sima Xin, who has a long history, back to the court for instructions. Sima Xin went to Xianyang and stayed outside the palace for three days. Zhao Gao didn't receive him, so he didn't trust him. Sima Xin, who has a long history, is very afraid. He hurried back to the original army, but he was afraid to go the same way. Zhao Gao sent someone to chase him, but he didn't catch up. Sima Xin returned to the army and reported to Zhang Han: "Zhao Gao monopolized the power in the imperial court, and the people below could do nothing. Since we can win the battle, Zhao Gao must be jealous of our exploits; If we can't fight, we will die. I hope you will seriously consider this situation! " At this time, Chen Yu also wrote a letter to Zhang Han, which said: "As a general of Qin, Bai Qi conquered the capital of Chu in the south and Zhao Kuo's army of Ma Fujun in the north, captured countless cities and seized countless lands, and was finally sentenced to death. Meng Tian, also a general of Qin State, drove away the Huns in the north, opened up a land thousands of miles in Yuzhong, and was finally killed in Yangzhou. Why is this? It is because they have done so much meritorious service that it is impossible for everyone in the Qin court to be rewarded, so they found a legal excuse to kill them. Now, general, you have been a general of A Qin for three years, and the casualties of foot soldiers are in the hundreds of thousands, while the princes all over the country are rising more and more at one time. That Zhao Gao has been flattering Ah Geng for a long time, and now he is in critical condition. He was also afraid that Qin Ershi would kill him, so he wanted to find a legal excuse to kill the general to shirk his responsibility and let others take the place of the general to avoid his own disaster. General, you have been away for a long time, and there are many people in the court who have bad blood with you. You were killed for meritorious service, and you were killed for reactive power. Moreover, it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye or a fool that God is going to destroy Qin. Now, general, you can't say it. You become a general of national subjugation outside, but you want to stay alone for a long time. Aren't you sad? Why don't the general do the opposite, unite the governors, make peace and attack the state of Qin, and divide the land of Qin into * * *, each king, and the south is lonely? Compared with being punished for killing his wife and children, which one counts? " Zhang Han hesitated, secretly sent troops to wait, and went to make peace with Xiang Yu. The peace treaty failed. Xiang Yu ordered General Pu to lead his troops through Sanhujin day and night, and settled down in the south of Zhanghe River to attack and defeat. Xiang Yu led his troops to capture Bianshui and defeated Qin Jun.

Zhang Han sent someone to inquire for Xiang Yu again, hoping to conclude a peace treaty. Xiang Yu called the officers to discuss and said, "The troops don't have much food and grass. I want to promise them to contract." The officers all said, "Good." Xiang Yu made an appointment with Zhang Huan to meet at Yin Ruins on the south bank of Huanshui. When Zhang Han saw Xiang Yu, he couldn't help crying and told Xiang Yu about Zhao Gao's bad behavior. Xiang Yu named Zhang Han King Yong and put him in Xiang Yu's army. Sima Xin is the general and Qin Jun is the pioneer.

The troops arrived in Xin 'an. The officers and men of the vassal army used to be enlisted and stationed in the frontier fortress. Many officers and men in Qinzhong treated them badly when they passed by. After Qin Jun surrendered, many officers and men of the vassal army used the power of victory to give orders to them like slaves and insult them at will. Many officers and men privately said, "General Zhang tricked us into surrendering to the Zhuangke. It would be great if we could enter the customs and destroy the Qin Dynasty; " Otherwise, the vassal army will capture us back to Kanto, and Qin Chaoting will definitely kill our parents, wives and children. "Governors generals secretly inspected these opinions of Qin Jun officers and soldiers, and reported them to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu summoned Pu to discuss with him and said, "There are quite a few officers and men now, but they are still not satisfied. If they don't listen to the command when they get to Guanzhong, things will be dangerous. Why don't you kill them and take Zhang Han and Sima Xin as commanders and Dong Yun as a captain, and go to Qin together? " So Chu Jun took advantage of the night and buried the murder pit of more than 200,000 people in Qin Jun in the south of Xin 'an.

Xiang Yu led his troops to attack the west and pacify the state of Qin. When I got to Hangu Pass, the pass was guarded by soldiers, so I couldn't get in. I also heard that Pei Gong captured Xianyang, and Xiang Yu was very angry and sent Dangyang Jun and others to attack Hangu Pass. In this way, Xiang Yu entered the customs and went all the way to Shuixi. At that time, Pei Gong's army was stationed on the dam and failed to join forces with Xiang Yu. Pei Gong's Sajima Cao Wushang sent someone to tell Xiang Yu: "Pei Gong wants to be king in Guanzhong and let Zi Ying, the king of Qin, have all the rare treasures." Xiang Yu was furious and said, "Prepare wine and food tomorrow, be kind to the soldiers and defeat Pei Gong's army for me!" At that time, Xiang Yu had 400 thousand troops stationed in Xinfeng Hongmen; Pei Gonggong has 100,000 soldiers stationed on the dam. Fan Zeng advised Xiang Yu: "When Pei Gong lived in Shandong, he was greedy for money and loved beautiful women. Now he's at the customs, he doesn't take property, and he hasn't been close to anyone. Look at this momentum, his ambition is not small. I let people see the clouds on his side, all in the shape of dragons and tigers and colorful. This is the spirit of the son of heaven. I hope you will attack quickly and don't miss the opportunity! "

Xiang Bo, Zuo Yin of Chu State, is Xiang Yu's uncle and has always been closely related to Sean of Liu Hou. Sean is following Pei Gong at this moment. Xiang Bo rode to Pei Gong's army overnight, met Sean privately, told him everything, and wanted to ask Sean to leave with him. Xiang Bo said, "I won't die with Pei Gong." Sean said, "I'm here to escort korean king Pei Gong. Pei Gong is in critical condition. If I run away, it will be unkind and unfair, so I must tell him. " Sean entered the chancellorsville and told Pei Gong what Xiang Bo had said. Pei Gong was greatly surprised and said, "What should I do?" Sean said, "Who gave you the idea to send troops to guard the pass?" Pei Gong said: "It was a humble man who advised me to say,' Keep the Hangu Pass and keep the vassal army out, and you can occupy the whole land of Qin State and be king.' So I listened to him. "Sean said," it is estimated that your troops can compete with Wang Xiang? Pei Gong was silent. After a while, he said, "Of course, we can't beat the enemy. What shall we do? Sean said, "Please let me tell Xiang Bo that Pei Gong dare not betray Wang Xiang." . "Pei Gong said," How do you have friendship with Xiang Bo? " Sean said, "Even in the Qin Dynasty, we had contacts. Xiang Bo killed a man, and I saved him from the capital punishment. The situation is critical now, but fortunately he came to tell me. " Pei Gong said, "Which of you is older?" Sean said, "He is older than me." Pei Gong said, "Please ask him to come in for me. I will serve him like a brother. " Sean went out to invite Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo came in to meet Pei Gong. Pei Gong raised his glass, toasted Xiang Bo's birthday and married his children. Pei Gong said, "After I entered Hangu Pass, even a little thing like Qiu Hao dared not move. I registered the accounts of the government and the people, sealed up all kinds of warehouses, and waited for the arrival of General Xiang. I sent generals to guard the pass in order to guard against the invasion of other thieves and unexpected changes. We look forward to the arrival of General Xiang day and night, how dare we rebel! I hope you can tell General Xiang in detail. I will never dare to be ungrateful. Xiang Bo agreed and said to Pei Gong, "You must apologize to Wang Xiang tomorrow morning." Pei Gong said, "All right. So Xiang Bo left by night, returned to the barracks, and told Wang Xiang what Pei Gong said one by one. Then he said, "Pei Gong didn't break through Guanzhong first, how dare you enter Guanzhong? Now people have made great contributions and want to attack others. This is immoral. It is better to treat him well. " King Xiang agreed.

Early the next morning, Pei Gong arrived in Hong Men with more than 100 attendants and said, "I attacked the State of Qin with the general. The general is fighting in Hebei and I am fighting in Henan. But I didn't expect that I could enter the customs first, break through the Qin Dynasty, and see you again here. Now the villain said something bad, which caused a bad feeling between the general and me. " Wang Xiang said: "Your Sa Ji Ma Cao Wushang said it, otherwise how could I be like this!" On the same day, Wang Xiang asked Pei Gong to stay and drink together. Wang Xianghe and Xiang Bo sit in the east, while Yapu sits in the south. The father is Fan Zeng. Pei Gong sat facing north, and Sean accompanied him facing west. Fan Zeng winked at Wang Xiang a few times and held up the Yu Pei he was wearing. Wang Xiang just kept silent and didn't respond. Fan Zeng got up and went out, called Xiang Zhuang and said to him, "Your Majesty is too soft-hearted. Go in and propose a toast to celebrate his birthday, and then ask for a sword dance. Take the opportunity to stab Pei Gong to death and kill him at the table. Otherwise, all of you will be prisoners. " Xiang Zhuang came in to propose a toast to celebrate his birthday. After the toast, he said to Wang Xiang, "The king and Pei Justice are drinking. There is nothing to entertain in the barracks. Let me dance the sword. " Wang Xiang said, "That's good." Xiang Zhuang drew his sword and danced, while Xiang Bo drew his sword and often protected Pei Gong with his body. Xiang Zhuang can't stab Pei Gong. Seeing this, Sean came to the military gate and found Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai asked, "How was today?" Sean said: "This is crucial! Now Xiangzhuang is dancing sword and has been playing Pei Gong's idea! " Fan Kuai said, "It's too dangerous to say that! Let me in, I want to live and die with Pei Gong! " Fan Kuai rushed into the military gate with a sword and shield. The guards of Hengji tried to stop him from entering. Fan Kuai bent over the shield and crashed forward. The guards fell to the ground. Fan Kuai then broke into the military gate, lifted the curtain and stood facing west. He stared at the king with his eyes open, his hair stood on end and his eyes were cracked on both sides. King Xiang reached for his sword, straightened up and asked, "What does this guest do?" Sean said, "It's Fan Kuai, the guardian of Pei Gong." Wang Xiang said, "What a brave man! Give him a glass of wine! " One of his men handed him a large glass of wine. Fan Kuai thank humbly, stood up and drank. King Xiang said, "Give him a pig elbow!" One of my men gave me a whole pig elbow. Fan Kuai locked the shield on the ground, put the pig's elbow on it, drew his sword, cut it and ate it. Wang Xiang said, "What a brave man! Can you drink again? " Fan Kuai said, "I don't even care about death. What can I say no to a glass of wine? The king of Qin has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, killing countless people as if afraid of killing them all; Punishing people seems to be for fear of endless, and everyone in the world has betrayed him. Chu Huaiwang once agreed with the generals to' defeat Qin Jun first and let him be king in Guanzhong'. Now Pei Gong first defeated Qin Jun and entered Xianyang. He dare not even touch such a small property. He closed the palace of the king of Qin and retired to the overlord, waiting for your arrival. Specially send soldiers to guard Hangu Pass to prevent other thieves from breaking in and unexpected changes. Pei Gong worked so hard, but he didn't get Hou Feng's reward. Instead, you listened to the slanderers of the villains and tried to kill those who made meritorious deeds. This can only be the old path of the demise of the Qin Dynasty. I thought your majesty wouldn't take this way! The king was speechless and just said, "Sit down! Sit down! " Fan Kuai sat down next to Sean. After sitting for a while, Pei Gong went to the toilet and called Fan Kuai out.

After Pei Gong came out, Wang Xiang sent a man named Chen Ping to call Pei Gong. Pei Gong said to Fan Kuai, "Now that I'm out, what should I do to leave?" Fan Kuai said: "You don't have to care about small etiquette when you do big things, and you don't have to avoid small monsters when you talk about big ones. Now people are like knives and chopping boards, and we are like fish and meat. Why should we leave! " So a group of people left there and asked Sean to stay and apologize to Wang Xiang. Sean asked, "What gift did the king bring when he came?" Pei Gong said: "I brought a pair of white jade and prepared to give it to Wang Xiang; A pair of jade fights, ready to be dedicated to my father. It happened that they were too angry to offer. Please provide it for me. " Sean said, "Yes." At this time, Wang Xiang's troops were stationed in Hong Men, and Pei Gong's troops were stationed on the dam, 40 miles apart. Pei Gong left his chariots, horses and attendants and ran away. Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Jin Qiang and Ji Xin, each armed with a knife, a gun and a shield, ran from the foot of Mount Li to Yang. Pei Gong said to Sean before he left, "This road is only 20 miles to our military camp. It is estimated that when you arrive at the military camp, you will go in. " Pei Gong and his party left Hong Men and took a shortcut back to the barracks. Sean went in to apologize and said, "Pei Gong doesn't drink much. He drinks too much, so he can't say goodbye to the king. Let liegeman Sean hold a pair of white jade and respectfully present it to your majesty. A pair of jade buckets are respectfully dedicated to the general. " Wang Xiang asked, "Where is Pei Gong?" Sean replied, "I heard that the king intended to blame him, so he left alone and has now returned to the barracks." Wang Xiang put Bai Bi on the seat; Father Ya took the jade bucket, threw it on the ground, pulled out his sword and smashed it, saying, "Alas! Xiang Zhuang this kind of boy can't * * seek great things with them, if you want to win the king of the world, you must repeatedly. Our class is going to be a prisoner! " Pei Gong returned to the army and killed Cao immediately.

A few days later, Xiang Yu led his troops to the west, slaughtered Xianyang, killed Wang Ziying and burned Qin Gong. The fire didn't go out for three months. Robbed the treasures and women of the Qin dynasty and went east. Wang Xiang was advised to say, "Guanzhong is surrounded by mountains and waters, and there are fortresses in all directions. The land is fertile, so it can build its capital and dominate." However, Wang Xiang saw that all the palaces in the Qin Dynasty were destroyed by fire. He missed his hometown and wanted to go back. He said: "Being rich without going back to your hometown is like walking in the dark in gorgeous clothes. Who knows? " The persuader said, "People say that Chu people are like macaques wearing human hats, and that's true." Hearing this, King Xiang threw the man into the pot and boiled him to death.

King Xiang sent someone to report the situation of breaking the Qin Dynasty to Chu Huaiwang. Chu Huaiwang said, "Let's do it as agreed before." So Wang Xiang gave Wang Huai a noble title, which existed in name only and was called "Yidi". Wang Xiang intended to be king himself, so he first appointed his generals as kings, and said to them, "At the beginning of the world uprising, the descendants of governors temporarily became kings in order to crusade against the Qin Dynasty. However, armor and troops, lead the uprising, expose Shan Ye, run away for three years, destroy Qin and pacify the world, all by the strength of your general and my Ji Xiang. Although the righteous emperor has no meritorious military service, he should give his land as king. " All the generals said, "Good." So he enfeoffed the world and made the general a vassal. Wang Xianghe and Fan Zeng are worried that Pei will win the world. However, the Hong Men Association has already reconciled, and they don't want to violate the original agreement. They were afraid of the betrayal of the princes, so they secretly planned: "The roads in Ba and Shu counties are dangerous, and Qin exiles all live in Shu." He added: "Ba and Shu are also considered as the territory of Guanzhong." Therefore, Pei public is Hanwang, ruling the land of Bashu and Hanzhong, with Nanzheng as its capital. Divided into three parts, the three generals of Qin were named king to stop Hanwang from advancing eastward. King Xiang is the king of Yong, who ruled the area west of Xianyang and built the capital to waste hills. Sima Xin, who has a long history, was once a prisoner in Liyang and was very kind to Xiang Liang. Chunyu Chang Dong Kun once advised Zhang Han to surrender to the Chu army. Therefore, Sima Xin was appointed King of Sai, ruling the area from Xianyang to the east of the Yellow River and making Liyang its capital. Dong Yun was appointed king of Di (Di), who ruled Shang Jun and established his capital as a high slave. Wei Wangbao was changed to the king of the Western Wei Dynasty, ruling Hedong and building Pingyang as its capital. Zhang Er's minion, Shenyang, first captured Nanxian County in Henan, and met the Chu army on the bank of the Yellow River, so he made Shenyang the king of Henan and made Luoyang his capital. Hanwang City still lives in the old capital, with Yangzhai as its capital. Zhao Li Sima Ang was the King of Yin, ruling Hanoi and making its capital sing. Replace Zhao Wangxie as the acting king. Zhang Er of Zhao Xiang has always been a wise man, following Xiang Yu into the customs. So, he made himself king of Changshan, ruling Zhao and making his capital. When Yang Jun Qing Bu was a general of Chu, he was always the first in the Chu army, so he made Qing Bu the king of Jiujiang and established six counties as his capital. The king of the county (Rui, Rui) led hundreds of Vietnamese soldiers to assist the princes, followed Xiang Yu into the customs, and became the king of Hengshan, with Zhu County as its capital. * * * (G not ng, Gong) ao, the pillar country of Yidi, led his troops to attack Nanjun, and repeatedly made meritorious military service, so he made * * * ao king of Linjiang and made Jiangling his capital. Yan Wang Hanguang, change to Liaodong Wang. After following the Chu army to save Zhao, he entered the customs with the army, so he made Zangcha the prince and built Jixian County as his capital. King Tian Cheng of Qi was changed to King Jiaodong, and Qi Jiangtian rescued Zhao with the Chu army, and then entered the customs with the army. So Qi made the world king and made Gong Lin its capital. When Xiang Yu crossed the river to save Zhao, Tian An, the grandson of Qi, who was destroyed by Qin, captured several cities north of Jishui and led his army to surrender to Xiang Yu. Therefore, Tianan was made king of northern Hebei, and Bo Yang was its capital. Tian Rong betrayed Xiang Liang many times and refused to lead troops to attack Qin Jun with the Chu army, so there was no seal. Cheng left because he abandoned the fief of Yu and did not follow the Chu army into the customs. However, he has always been famous for his talent, made contributions to Zhao Jiangong, and knew that he was in Nanpi, so he released Nanpi Zhou.
