Why did Xiang Yu kill the leader?

Yin Tong was appointed as the guard of Huiji County by Qin Shihuang. Killing him is tantamount to announcing that he disagrees with any decision of Qin Shihuang and vowing to fight against Qin Shihuang to the end. This is a sign of the uprising, and it can also inspire people's determination to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and encourage them to join the army.

Yin Tong is a civilian, not good at military affairs, and needs the assistance of military commanders. Xiang Liang is very famous in Huiji, and Yin Tong knows his true identity, which is convenient for the uprising. Although Huan Chu is also famous, he is a Jianghu person and his whereabouts are uncertain. He needs Xiang Liang's help to find him. Yin Tong was one of the 36 county governors in Qin Dynasty. He saw that great changes had taken place in the world. If he did nothing, his life would be in danger, so he had to fight Qin.

In 209 BC, Xiang Liang's uncle killed Yin Tong, the county chief, in Huiji, and officially raised the flag against Qin.

The main reason is the power struggle. Yin Tong called Xiang Liang and Huan Chu as viceroy. Xiang Liang is just a migrant worker. Although it can be in charge of military power now, it is not allowed to be recycled in the future. There is another reason. At that time, most of the insurgents appeared everywhere under the banner of Xiang Yan, but Xiang Liang, the son of Xiang Yan, was able to directly play his own banner, which was more convincing and appealing.

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), Chen Sheng and Guangwu revolted in Daze Township. In September of the same year, Yin Tong 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 the person who starts first can control others, and the person who starts later will be controlled by others. I intend to arise and let you and Huan Chu command the army. "

At this time, Huan Chu was fleeing in the wilderness swamp. Xiang Liang said, "Huan Chu is a fugitive. No one knows where he is hiding. Only Ji Xiang knows. " So Xiang Liang went out and told Ji Xiang to wait outside with a sword. Then he came in and sat with Yin Tong and said, "Please allow me to summon Ji Xiang and ask him to accept the order to summon Huan Chu." Yin Tong agreed.

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 Yin Tong.
