How do you know how strong you are if you don't push yourself into the corner? I am eager to be excellent and strong. In order to make myself rational and sober, I don't touch memories and feelings, but some anodyne loneliness haunts me and makes me exhausted.

Once, Zhao was captured, and the king of Zhao fled to Julu, and soon sent people to Chu for help.

The king of Chu sent Xiang Yu to lead twenty Wan Chu troops to save Zhao. Xiang Yu first sent two generals, Ying and Pu, to lead twenty thousand people as pioneers, and then led the main force to cross the river himself. After crossing the river, Xiang Yu ordered the soldiers to take three days' dry food each, smashed all the electric cookers in the army and sank all the ships crossing the river. He said to the soldiers, "We will burn our bridges and never retreat. In three days, we must beat back Qin Jun! Otherwise you will only starve to death here! "

Xiang Yu's determination and courage greatly inspired the soldiers. Chu Jun all morale, one person to ten people, ten people to one hundred people, the more brave the Vietnam War, and finally Qin Jun was defeated and fled.

After this campaign, Xiang Yu became famous and became the commander-in-chief of various anti-Qin movements.

The story of burning one's bridges 4 idiom stories of the battle of giant deer

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han, the general of Qin Jun, killed Xiang Liang, the leader of Chu's anti-Qin army, thinking that Chu was no longer a concern, so he crossed the Yellow River and left the army with the king of Qi who came to reinforce him, attacking and defeating Zhao. The prince of Zhao and others fled to Dalucheng, and Zhang Han ordered the King of Qi to withdraw his troops to intervene and surrounded Dalucheng. In desperation, the prince of Zhao turned to Chu Huaiwang and the vassal states for help. However, Qin Jun was so powerful that all the people sent were wiped out. From then on, no one dared to fight with the vassal Coalition forces.

In his second year in Qin Ershi, Chu Huaiwang was divided into two factions. Along the way, Yi Song was the general, followed by Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng. He led tens of thousands of troops north to solve the plight of the giant deer. On the other hand, Liu Bang was the commander in chief and attacked Guanzhong. After Zhao Dajun of Chu arrived in Anyang, he wanted to wait until both Qin and Zhao were defeated, so he ordered the army to be stationed in Anyang for more than 40 days. In three years, Xiang Yu was killed and appointed General Xiang Yu, making Ying Bu and General Pu under his command.

In December of the third year of Qin Ershi, Xiang Yu led an army to the Yellow River south of Julu County, and immediately sent two Chu troops, Ying Bu and General Pu, to cross the Yellow River first to rescue Julu and win the first battle. Xiang Yu immediately led the whole army across the Yellow River, ordered the whole army to cross the rubicon, burn the tent, bring only three days' food and grass, and cut off the back road to show his determination to die if he was defeated. After reaching Julu quickly, the Chu army captured the tunnel used to transport food and grass in Qin Jun, cut off the food and grass supply of Wang Li's army, and then surrounded Wang Li's army. With the encouragement and determination of Xiang Yu, the Chu army became more and more brave and its morale was greatly boosted. They beat back Zhang Han, captured Wang Li alive, killed Su Jiao, and the general of Qin Jun set himself on fire. The rest of the Qin soldiers died and fled, and the plight of Julu fell apart.

An idiom story that burns one's bridges.

Burn one's bridges: In the second year of Qin Ershi, Zhao was besieged by Qin in Julu City, and the prince of Zhao turned to Chu Huaiwang and other governors for help. The following year, the king of Chu sent Xiang Yu to lead tens of thousands of Chu troops north to solve the plight of Julu.

The army came to the Yellow River south of Julu County, and sent Ying Bu and General Pu to lead twenty thousand rebels to cross the Yellow River first to rescue Julu. The two generals won the first battle. Then, Xiang Yu led the whole army to cross the Yellow River, ordered the whole army to cross the rubicon, burned the tent and brought only a few days' food and grass to express their determination to die without fighting. Encouraged by this, the Chu army quickly defeated Zhang Han's troops, protected the hay in the tunnel, cut off the hay of Wang Li's troops, and surrounded Wang Li's troops. The morale of the Chu army is high, and the more you play, the more brave you are. After many battles, Zhang Han was finally beaten back, Wang Li was captured alive, and Su Jiao, a soldier of Qin State, was killed. Because of the defeat of the war, the generals of Qin were humiliated, then set themselves on fire and died in the battlefield. Other Qin Jun soldiers died and fled, scattered in succession, and Qin Jun, who besieged the stag, collapsed.

On the sidelines: Chu troops are all brave and good at fighting, and their power is overwhelming the princes. There are more than ten vassal barracks to rescue the giant deer, but no one dares to send troops to attack. When the Chu army attacked Qin Jun, all the vassal armies watched the battle in the camp. Seeing the Chu army yelling, the morale was high and the vassal soldiers were terrified. Later, I saw that Chu Jun was brave and fought in the war. He defeated Zhang Han, captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and set himself on fire because of humiliation. The rest of the Qin soldiers fled and died, and the plight of Julu was lifted. After the war, Xiang Yu summoned his ministers in the camp, who all knelt down trembling and dared not look up. The Battle of Julu established the hegemony after Xiang Yu.

The story of burning one's bridges 5 At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the people of the whole country held an uprising against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. The most famous leaders of peasant uprising army are Chen Sheng and Guangwu, followed by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

In 208 BC, Zhang Han, a general of the State of Qin, suppressed the uprisings in Chen Sheng and Guangwu, and then attacked Handan again. Anti-Qin armed forces Zhao Wangxie and Zhang Er were forced to retreat to Julu (now southwest of Pingxiang, Hebei Province) and were besieged by 200,000 people. Zhang Han led 200,000 troops to the spine plain south of Julu, and built a passage with earth walls on both sides to Wang Liying to get food and grass. Yu led tens of thousands of troops to camp in Julu North, because serenade did not dare to save them.

Chu Huaiwang was appointed as the general and Xiang Yu as the lieutenant, and led 200,000 troops to save Zhao. Yi Song led his troops to Anyang (now southeast of Cao County, Shandong Province) and held on for 46 days. Xiang Yu was very moved, so he went to see Yi Song and said, "Qin Jun has surrounded the giant deer. The situation is so urgent. We will cross the river quickly and attack Zhao Jun from inside and outside, and we will definitely defeat Qin Jun. "

Yi Song said, "Let's wait for the decisive battle between Qin Jun and Zhao Jun." He said to Xiang Yu: "I can't compare with you when you go to the battlefield against the enemy;" You can't compare with me sitting in a tent making plans. "

Xiang Yu said: "There is no food in the barracks now, but the generals in the army don't move, so they don't care about the country and soldiers, so they don't look like generals."

The next day, Xiang Yu took advantage of the meeting to draw his sword and kill Yi Song. He raised Yi Song's head and said to the soldiers, "Yi Song has betrayed the king (referring to Chu Huaiwang). I executed him on the orders of the king. "

So the soldiers embraced Xiang Yu as the general. Xiang Yu killed Yi Song, which was a great shock to Chu. He was famous as a vassal.

Later, he led the whole army across the Yellow River to rescue Zhao and solve the siege of the giant deer. After all the Chu troops crossed the Zhanghe River, Xiang Yu gave his men a hearty meal, each with three days' dry food. Then he gave the order: "All the boats sank and the kettle was broken", which means that all the boats crossing the river sank into the river, the cooking pot (called kettle in ancient times) was smashed and the nearby houses were set on fire. It's called cross the rubicon. Xiang Yu used this method to show his determination to make progress and win.

In this way, the desperate soldiers of the Chu army took one as ten, and the war was earth-shattering. After nine fierce battles, the Chu army finally defeated Qin Jun. Some leaders of Qin Jun were killed, some were captured and some surrendered. This battle not only solved the siege of Julu, but also beat Qin Jun out of the water. Two years later, the Qin Dynasty perished.

The bravery of Chu army greatly enhanced Xiang Yu's prestige. Even after the victory, when Xiang Yu met various governors in Yuanmen, all the governors dared not look at Xiang Yu.

Later, "all the shipwrecks were destroyed" evolved into the idiom "cross the rubicon", which is a metaphor for a desperate battle with great determination.

Xiang Liang followed the advice of Fan Zeng, the counselor, reorganized the uprising team, and elected Sun Xin, the grandson of Chu Huaiwang, as the King of Chu, still calling him.

In addition, Xiang Liang won several battles in a row, beating Zhang Han out of the water. Xiang Liang was too proud to take Qin Jun seriously. Who knows, Zhang Han made a comeback and launched a fierce counterattack against Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang was caught off guard and died. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were also forced to retreat to Cheng Peng.

Zhang Han took advantage of the situation and led Qin Jun to the north, laying the capital of Zhao (not Zhao in the Warring States period, but a newly established regime) in one breath. Zhao Wangxie hurriedly fled to Julu (now southwest of Pingxiang, Hebei Province) and sent reinforcements to Chu Huaiwang.

Chu Huaiwang summoned soldiers to attack Xianyang, the capital. He said: whoever goes to Xianyang first will be crowned king.

Both Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are willing to go. Chu Huaiwang let liu bang to play xianyang; Tell Xiang Yu to attack Zhang Han in the north and besiege Julu 300,000 Qin Jun. Xiang Yu was eager to avenge his uncle Xiang Liang and tried to fight Zhang Han. Chu Huaiwang was afraid that Xiang Yu was too powerful to be easily controlled, so he worshipped Yi Song as a general. Worship Xiang Yu as the lieutenant and seal him as Duke Lu; As the last general, Fan Zeng led 200,000 troops to Julu to fight Zhang Han.

In 207 BC, Yi Song led the Chu army to Anyang (now southwest of Anyang, Henan Province) and stayed for more than ten days. Xiang Yu was so anxious that he ran to Yi Song and repeatedly told him to March. Yi Song is worried that Qin Jun is too strong to hold its ground. On the 46th day, Xiang Yu once again asked to March. Yi Song patted the table and said angrily, are you against it? How dare you disobey my orders! Xiang Yu was furious and took advantage of the situation to draw his sword and kill him.

Xiang Yu came out and said to the soldiers: Yi Song disobeyed the king's orders and stayed where he was. I executed him on the orders of the king.

The soldiers elected Xiang Yu as the acting general. Xiang Yu sent someone to report to Chu Huaiwang, and Chu Huaiwang had to make Xiang Yu a general.

Xiang Yu sent Ying Bu and General Pu to cross the Zhanghe River with 20,000 troops. Qin Jun was defeated in a confrontation. Xiang Yu led all the troops across the river. When all the troops crossed the Zhanghe River, he ordered the soldiers to bring three days' dry food, smash all the rice cookers of the troops and sink all the ships. This is how idioms burn their bridges. He said to the soldiers: this battle is only allowed to enter, not to retreat; We must defeat Chi in three days!

When Chu Jun and Qin Jun were at war, Xiang Yu gnashed his teeth and went straight to Zhang Han. Zhang Hanben wanted to pretend to defeat Xiang Yu, but where did he know that Chu soldiers were worth ten feet and ten were worth a hundred? Xiang Yu's painting Ji is even more elusive, and he was so anxious that he stabbed countless people. His Zhi Zhu (black swift horse) chased deserters like flies. Zhang Han's troops scrambled to flee everywhere, but all the troops that met on the path were in chaos. Zhang Han escaped by himself.

Half of the soldiers in the state of Qin were killed or injured. Then all the governors elected Xiang Yu as the general of the governors, and all the governors' troops were under his command. Xiang Yu wanted to catch up with Zhang Han, but Fan Zeng, the counselor, stopped him and said, Zhang Han still has an army of1200,000, which will not be easily wiped out for a while. Zhao Gao is so bossy, II is so fatuous, and Zhang Han has lost the battle, so they won't let him go easily. We might as well put down the army, and when there is a quarrel among them, we will fight directly and win a total victory.

Sure enough, Fan Zeng expected. Zhang Han reported Qin Jun's defeat and asked II to send troops again. Zhao Gao said that Zhang Han was incompetent and asked II to investigate the defeated soldiers. The generals in Zhang Han were very angry, so Sima Xin suggested that Zhang Han surrender to Xiang Yu. Zhang Han had to send Sima Xin to Chuying to make peace with Xiang Yu. Fan Zeng advised Xiang Yu not to care about past hatred. Xiang Yu agreed, and made a covenant with him, named him King Yong, made Sima a general, and told him to take 200,000 troops at the front to surrender to Chi. Xiang Yu personally took Zhang Han and led various governors to fight in the west.

The news of Zhang Han's surrender reached Xianyang, and everyone panicked, except Zhao Gao. He has a plan: blame all the mistakes on II, kill II, and then surrender to Xiang Yu. He was afraid that the minister would not accept it, so he took a deer to the court, pointed it at the deer in front of the ministers and said to II, This is a good horse.

Junior said with a smile, Prime Minister, stop telling jokes. This is a deer.

Zhao Gao said sullenly, Why not a horse? Please tell the ministers. Many ministers said: it's a horse!

But some ministers who were described as deer were secretly killed by Zhao Gao, and some were executed for one crime. Officials inside and outside the palace, who dares to oppose Zhao Gao? Even junior is afraid of him.
