Qiu Shi Ji "The Chronicles of Xiang Yu" original text

The person with the title of Xiang Ji is also a person with the courtesy name Yu. When I first started, I was twenty-four years old. Ji's father, Xiang Liang, was the Chu general Xiang Yan, who was killed by the Qin general Wang Jian. The Xiang family was a general of Chu for generations and was granted the title of Xiang, hence the surname Xiang.

When Xiang Ji was young, he failed to learn calligraphy, so he went away; he failed to learn swordsmanship, so Xiang Liang was angry. Ji said: "Books are enough to record names and surnames. One person can be defeated with a sword, but learning is not enough. Learning to defeat ten thousand people is not enough." So Xiang Liang taught Ji the art of war. Ji was overjoyed and knew a little about what it meant, but he refused to learn it. Xiang Liang was arrested in Yueyang, so he asked Cao Jiu, the prison governor of Qi, to send a letter to Sima Xin, the prison governor of Yueyang, and he got it by telling a story. Xiang Liang killed people and fled to Wuzhong with his relatives. All the wise men and officials in Wuzhong came under Xiang Liang. Whenever there was a big corvee or funeral in Wuzhong, Xiang Liang would often take charge of it, and he would use the Military Art Department to restrain the guests and children, so that he could know his abilities. When the First Emperor of Qin visited Kuaiji and crossed Zhejiang, Liang and his family visited him. The book said: "He can be replaced." Liang covered his mouth and said: "Don't lie, the clan is here!" Liang used this as a strange book. He is more than eight feet long, has the strength to carry a cauldron, and is extremely talented. Even the children of Wuzhong are afraid of his status.

In July of the first year of Qin II, Chen She and others set out from Dazezhong. In the ninth month of the month, Kuaiji Shouting told Liang: "Everyone in Jiangxi is rebelling. This is also the time when the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed. I heard that the people will be controlled first, and they will be controlled by others later. I want to send troops to send the Duke and Huan Chu generals." At that time, Huan Chu died in Zezhong. Liang said: "Huan Chu died, and no one knew where he was. Only Ji knew it." When Liang Nai came out, he ordered Ji to stay outside with his sword. Liang Fu came in, sat down with Shou, and said, "Please summon me, and I will be ordered to summon Huan Chu." Shou said, "No." Liang called him in. After a moment, Liang Shun said: "It can be done!" So he drew his sword and beheaded the guard. Xiang Liang holds his head and wears his seal ribbon. The disciples were frightened and disturbed, and dozens of people were killed at home. Everyone in the mansion is in awe, and no one dares to rise. Liang Nai summoned the powerful officials he knew and told them to cause great events, so he raised troops from Wuzhong. He sent people to take over the county and obtained 8,000 elite soldiers. Liang deployed the heroes of Wuzhong as school captains, marquises, and Sima. There was a man who couldn't use it, so he talked to Liang. Liang said: "Some time ago, a certain princess was mourned and couldn't handle something, so I didn't appoint him." Everyone fell down. So Liang was appointed as the guardian of Kuaiji, and he was promoted to the lower county.

Zhao Ping, a native of Guangling, favored Guangling for King Chen and failed to surrender. When he heard that King Chen was defeated and the Qin soldiers arrived again, he crossed the river to fulfill King Chen's order and worshiped Liang as the king of Chu's Shangzhu Kingdom. He said: "The east of the Yangtze River has been decided, so we urgently led our troops to the west to attack Qin." Xiang Liang crossed the river to the west with 8,000 men. Hearing that Chen Ying had gone to Dongyang, he wanted to join Lian He in the west. Chen Ying, the former Dongyang Lingshi, lived in the county and was known as the elder. A young man from Dongyang killed his order and gathered thousands of people. He wanted to appoint a senior official, but it was not suitable, so he invited Chen Ying. Ying Ying was unable to thank him, so he was forced to make Ying the chief, and the followers in the county gained 20,000 people. The young man wanted to make Chen Ying king, but a new army rose up. Chen Ying's mother said to her: "I am your wife, and I have never heard of any of your nobles in ancient times. It is unlucky to gain a great name now. It is better to belong to something. If you succeed, you will be granted a title. If you fail, you will easily die. It is not the world." The name is also given. "Ying Nai dare not be the king. He told his military officer: "The Xiang family has been famous in Chu for generations. If we want to do great things now, it cannot be done without the general. I rely on the famous family, and Qin will surely fall." So everyone followed his words and sent troops to Xiang. Liang. Xiang Liang crossed the Huaihe River, and generals Yingbu and Pu also sent troops to Yan. Sixty or seventy thousand soldiers marched down to Pi.

At that time, Qin Jia had established Jingju as the king of Chu, and his army was in the east of Pengcheng, hoping to get away from Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang said to the military officials: "King Chen is the first to attack. The battle is unfavorable and we have not heard where he is. Now Qin Jia has defeated King Chen and established Jingju, which is unethical." He then marched to attack Qin Jia. Qin Jiajun was defeated and chased him to Huling. Jia fought for one day, Jia died, and the army surrendered. Jingju died in Liangdi. Xiang Liang has merged with Qin Jia's army and marched to Huling, and will lead his army to the west. Zhang Han's army arrived at Li, and Xiang Liang sent other generals Zhujishi and Yu Fanjun to fight. Yu Fanjun died, Zhujishi's army was defeated, and he fled to Huling. Xiang Liang then led troops into Xue and killed Ji Shi. Xiang Liang sent Xiang Yu to attack Xiangcheng, but Xiangcheng could not hold on. It has been pulled out, and they are all trapped. Also report Xiang Liang. When Xiang Liang heard that King Chen was dead, he summoned other generals to tell Xue Jishi. At this time, Pei Gong also got up and went to Yan.

Fan Zeng, a ③ man in Juchao, was seventy years old. He had always lived at home and was curious about his plans. He went to Xiang Liang and said: "Chen's victory is certain. Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and Chu was the most innocent. Since the King Huai entered Qin did not rebel, but Chu people still pity him, so Chu Nan Gong said: "Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die." Now Chen Sheng, the leader, does not establish a Chu queen but stands on his own. His power will not last long when he rises to the east of the Yangtze River. The generals who have risen up are all vying to join the king, so that the king of Chu will be able to restore the queen of Chu." So Xiang Liang asked Sun Xin, the king of Chu Huai, to become a shepherd among the people, and established him as king Huai of Chu. From what the people want. Chen Ying became the Shangzhu State of Chu, granted five counties, and made Xutai the capital of King Huai. Xiang Liang named himself Lord Wu Xin.

After staying for a few months, he led troops to attack Kangfu, and together with Qi Tianrong and Sima Long, he rescued Dong'a and defeated the Qin army in Dong'a.

Tian Rong immediately led his troops back and drove away his king. Fake death and go to Chu. It turns out that Tianjiao escaped from Zhao. Jiao's younger brother Tian Jian was an old Qi general who lived in Zhao and did not dare to return. Tian Rong established Tiandanzi City as the king of Qi. Xiang Liang had defeated Dong'a's army and then pursued the Qin army. Several envoys asked the troops to join forces, hoping to join them to the west. Tian Rong said: "Chu killed Tianjia, and Zhao killed Tianjiao and Tianjian before sending troops." Xiang Liang said: "Tianjia is the king of our country. He has no choice but to follow me and cannot bear to kill him." Zhao Yi did not kill Tianjiao and Tianjian. The city is in Qi. Qi then refused to send troops to help Chu. Xiang Liang sent Pei Gong and Xiang Yu to attack Chengyang and massacre them. The Qin army broke through Puyang in the west and entered Puyang in the east. Peigong and Xiang Yu then attacked Dingtao. Before Dingtao was conquered, he went westward to Yongqiu, defeated the Qin army, killed Li You, and also attacked Waihuang, but Waihuang had not yet been conquered.

Xiang Liang marched from Dong'a to the west, and then reached Dingtao, where he defeated the Qin army again. Xiang Yu and others also killed Li You, making Qin lighter and more arrogant. Song Yi admonished Xiang Liang and said: "Victory will defeat the arrogant and lazy soldiers. Today's soldiers are few and lazy, Qin's soldiers are getting worse, and I am afraid of them." Xiang Liang did not listen. He sent Song Yi as his envoy to Qi. Dao met the Qi envoy Gaoling Junxian and asked, "Have you met Mr. Wu Xin, sir?" He said, "Yes." He said, "I believe that Lord Wu Xin's army will be defeated. If you go Xu, you will avoid death, but if you go quickly, you will be in trouble." Qin Guo Xiang Liang was killed after Xiang Liang was killed. Pei Gong and Xiang Yu went to Waihuang to attack Chenliu, but Chenliu held on and could not move. Pei Gong and Xiang Yu conspired with each other and said: "Now Xiang Liang's army has been defeated, and the soldiers are afraid." So they led troops to the east together with Lu Chen's army, Lu Chen's army to the east of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's army to the west of Pengcheng, and Pei Gong's army to Dang.

Zhang Han had defeated Xiang Liang's army, so he thought that Chu's troops had nothing to worry about, so he crossed the river to attack Zhao and defeated it. At this time, Zhao Xie was the king, Chen Yu was the general, and Zhang Er was the prime minister, and they all entered Julu City. Zhang Han ordered Wang Li and Shejian to surround the giant deer. Zhang Han's army went to the south and built a corridor to lose the grain. Chen Yu was the general, with tens of thousands of soldiers marching to the north of Julu. This was the so-called Hebei army.

The Chu army had already defeated Dingtao, and King Huai was afraid, so he marched from Xutai to Pengcheng and joined forces with Xiang Yu and Lu Chen to take control. Lu Chen was appointed as Situ, his father Lu Qing was appointed as Ling Yin, Pei Gong was appointed as the head of Dang County, he was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an, and he commanded the soldiers of Dang County.

At the beginning, Song Yi met the Qi envoy Gao Lingjun who showed up to the Chu army. When he saw the King of Chu, he said: "Song Yi said that Lord Wu Xin's army will be defeated. After staying for several days, the army was defeated. The army did not fight. But seeing the defeat in advance can be said to know the troops." Wang summoned Song Yi to discuss the plan, so he appointed him as the top general; Xiang Yu was the Duke of Lu, the second general, and Fan Zeng was the last general to rescue Zhao. All other generals belong to Song Yi and are called Qing Zi Champion. Travel to Anyang and stay for forty-six days without entering. Xiang Yu said: "I heard that the Qin army besieged the king of Zhao on a huge deer and quickly led his troops across the river. Chu attacked the outside and Zhao responded inside. The Qin army was bound to be defeated." Song Yi said: "No. I can't defeat the lice by fighting the cattle flies." Now Qin is attacking Zhao. If they win, they will stop and I will take over. If they fail to win, I will lead the army to the west and lead Qin. Therefore, it is better to fight against Qin and Zhao first. Policy, justice is not as good as justice." Because he ordered the army to say: "Everyone who is as fierce as a tiger, as strong as a sheep, and as greedy as a wolf, will be killed!" So he sent his son Song Xiang to join him and send him to Wuyan. Drinking party. It was cold and raining heavily, and the soldiers were freezing and hungry. Xiang Yu said: "We will attack Qin with all our strength, but we will not be able to stay for a long time. This year, the people are hungry and poor, and the soldiers eat taro and sprouts. The army has no food, so they drink and have a party. They do not lead the troops across the river because Zhao is eating, so they attack Qin together with Zhao, so he said: "Accept Qi Wei". If Qin is strong and attacks the newly created Zhao, Zhao will be defeated. If Qin is strong, Zhao will be strong. What's more, the country's troops are newly defeated and the king cannot sit down. The territory of Xun belongs to the general. The safety of the country depends on this. If you do not show mercy to the soldiers and favor your own interests, you are not a minister of the country!" Xiang Yuchen, the general in charge of Song Yi, beheaded Song Yi in his tent and sent an order to the army: "Song Yi and Qi are rebelling. Chu, King of Chu Yin ordered Yu to punish him. "At that time, all the generals were frightened, and no one dared to attack Zhiwu. They all said: "The first one to establish Chu is the general's family." Li Yu became a fake general. Send people to chase Song Yizi, get together and kill him. He sent Huan Chu to report his fate to King Huai. King Huai made Xiang Yu the general. Both Dangyang Jun and General Pu belong to Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu has killed the champion of Qingzi, which shocked the Chu country and became famous among the princes. So Dangyang Jun and General Pu sent 20,000 soldiers across the river to rescue the giant deer. The battle was less profitable, and Chen Yu asked for troops again. Xiang Yu then led his troops across the river, but all the ships were sunk, the cauldrons were broken, the huts were burned, and he took three days' worth of food to show that the soldiers would die and none of them would return the favor. So when they arrived, they surrounded Wangli and met the Qin army. They fought nine times to cut off the corridor and defeat it. They killed Su Jiao and captured Wangli. When Shejian refused to surrender to Chu, he burned himself to death. At that time, the army of Chu was more powerful than the other princes. The troops of the princes were more than ten walls away from the giant deer, but no one dared to send troops. When Chu attacked Qin, all the generals watched from the wall. All the Chu warriors were equal to ten. The shouts of the Chu soldiers moved the heavens, and all the princes and armies were frightened. So having defeated the Qin army, Xiang Yu summoned all the princes and generals to enter the camp gate. They all walked forward on their knees, and no one dared to look up.

From then on, Xiang Yu became the general of the princes, and all the princes belonged to Yan.

Zhang Han's army was at Jiyuan, and Xiang Yu's army at Zhangnan were in a stalemate without fighting. The Qin army retreated, and the Second Emperor's envoy gave way to Zhang Han. Zhang Han was afraid and sent Chief Shi Xin to ask for help. When he arrived at Xianyang, he stayed at Simamen for three days. Zhao Gao disappeared and he felt unbelievable. The chief minister was so frightened that he still followed his army and did not dare to go out of his old way. Zhao Gaoguo sent people to chase him, but failed. Xin arrived at the army and reported: "Zhao Gao is in charge of the middle, and there is nothing to do below. If we can win this battle, Gao will be jealous of my achievements. If we can't win, we will inevitably die. I hope the general can figure it out." Chen Yu also left a posthumous chapter. Han Shu said: "Bai Qi was the general of Qin, and he conquered Yanying in the south, pitted horses and soldiers in the north, and captured the city. He was unable to win, but he was sentenced to death. Meng Tian was the general of Qin, and he drove the Rong people in the north, opening thousands of miles of Yuzhong. He actually killed Yangzhou. He attacked too many, but Qin couldn't kill him. He was a Qin general for three years, and he lost hundreds of thousands of people. , The matter is urgent now, and I am afraid that the next generation will punish him, so I want to punish the general with the law to stop the blame, and let someone replace the general to escape his misfortune. The general has been away for a long time, and there are many internal gaps. Moreover, the Qin Dynasty will be destroyed, and no one with stupidity or wisdom knows it. Now the general cannot give direct advice, and he is a general who has destroyed his country. He is lonely and independent and wants to survive forever. Isn't it sad! Why don't the general return the army and follow the princes? * Attack Qin, divide the king's territory, and claim it as an orphan in the south. Who is lying on the ax and holding a hostage, and his wife is going to be killed? Before the agreement was concluded, Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead troops across Sanhu day and night, and marched south of Zhangnan to fight Qin and then defeat it. Xiang Yu led his troops to attack the Qin army on the water of Yu, and defeated it.

Zhang Han sent people to see Xiang Yu and wanted to make an appointment. Xiang Yu summoned the army officers to make plans and said, "We have little food, so I would like to obey his promise." The army officers all said, "Good." Xiang Yu then went to the Yin Ruins in the south of the Huan River. After forming an alliance, Zhang Han burst into tears when he saw Xiang Yu, saying that he wanted to persuade Zhao Gao. Xiang Yu then established Zhang Han as King Yong and placed him in the Chu army. The envoy commander Shi Xin was appointed as the general and led the Qin army forward.

Arrive at Xin'an. The officials and soldiers of the princes were different at the same time, so the corvee envoys were sent to garrison in the middle of Qin. The officials and soldiers in Qin were encountered in great numbers without any warning. When the Qin army surrendered to the princes, the princes' officers and soldiers took advantage of the victory and sent many slaves to them, and lightly humiliated the Qin officers and soldiers. Many of the Qin officers and soldiers whispered: "General Zhang and others deceived my subordinates into surrendering to the princes. Now they can enter the pass and defeat Qin, which is a great good. But if they can't, the princes will capture my subordinates and go east, and Qin will kill my parents and wives." The generals heard this. He planned to tell Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu then summoned Generals Yingbu and Pu to make a plan and said: "The Qin officials are still dissatisfied with the generals, and will not listen to them at the pass, and things will be in danger. It is better to kill them, and then enter Qin alone with Zhang Han, Chang Shixin, and Duwei Yi." ." So the Chu army attacked and trapped more than 200,000 Qin soldiers in the south of Xin'an City at night.

The land of Qin was determined through a strategy. There are soldiers guarding Hangu Pass and no one is allowed to enter. When he heard that Pei Gong had defeated Xianyang, Xiang Yu was furious and ordered Dangyang Lord and others to attack the pass. Xiang Yu then entered and went to Xixi. Pei Gong's army was overlorded, but he was unable to meet Xiang Yu. Cao Wushang, Sima Cao Wushang, the left commander of Pei Gong, sent word to Xiang Yu: "Pei Gong wants to be the king of Guanzhong and make his son and infant his prime minister, and he will have all the treasures." Xiang Yu was furious and said, "I am going to feast on the soldiers today to defeat Pei Gong's army!" At that time, Xiang Yu had 400,000 troops at Xinfenghong Gate, and Pei Gong had 100,000 troops at Ba Shang. Fan Zeng said about Xiang Yu: "When Pei Gong lived in Shandong, he was greedy for wealth and loved beautiful concubines. Now that he has entered the pass, he has gained nothing. Women have no luck, and their ambitions are not small. I hope that their Qi will be like that of dragons and tigers, and this is the Qi of the emperor. Don't miss it." Xiang Bo, Yin of Chu Zuo, Ji's father, Su Shan, stayed with Hou Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang followed Pei Gong at that time, and Xiang Bo, who was riding with Pei Gong's army at night, met Zhang Liang privately and reported the matter. He wanted to call Zhang Liang to go with him, but said: "Don't follow me and die together." Zhang Liang said: "I am sending Pei Gong to the king of Han. Pei Gong is in urgent need. It is unjust to die, so we must not say anything." Report to Pei Gong. Pei Gong was shocked and asked: "What can be done?" Zhang Liang asked: "Who is the king who planned this?" He said: "Kun Sheng said to me: 'If you are far away from the pass and have no princes in the country, the land of Qin can be conquered by the king. "So listen to it." Liang said, "Do you think the king's soldiers are worthy of being king of Xiang?" Pei Gong was silent and said, "It's not as good as that." Zhang Liang said, "Please go and tell Xiang Bo." Dare to carry King Xiang's back?" Pei Gong asked, "Is there something between you and Xiang Bo?" Zhang Liang said, "When Qin was traveling with me, Xiang Bo killed someone, and I was lucky to come to sue Liang. Pei Gong said: "Who is more senior to you?" Liang said: "You are better than your minister." Xiang Bo immediately went to see Pei Gong. The Duke of Pei offered wine as a blessing to his life and made a marriage agreement. He said: "When I entered the pass, I did not dare to come near in the autumn. I was a civil servant and sealed the treasury, waiting for the general. Therefore, I sent generals to guard the pass to prepare for thieves to come in and out. It's extraordinary. I've been waiting for the general to arrive day and night, so I dare not do anything wrong!" Xiang Bo promised and said to Pei Gong, "Don't come to thank King Xiang." promise.

So Xiang Bo went back to the army at night and reported to King Xiang with the words of Pei Gong. He said: "If Pei Gong doesn't break the pass first, how can I dare to enter?" Nowadays, it is unjust for people to attack people who have great merits. It is better to encounter them because of kindness. " King Xiang promised.

Pei Gong came to see King Xiang from more than a hundred horses on the first day. When he arrived at Hongmen, he thanked him and said, "I and the general will fight with all their strength to attack Qin. The general will fight in Hebei and the minister will fight in Henan. Unexpectedly, if you can enter the pass first and defeat Qin, you can see the general here again. Nowadays, there is a villain's words, which creates a gap between the general and his ministers. King Xiang said: "This Pei Gong Zuo Sima Cao has nothing to say; otherwise, how could Ji be born here?" "King Xiang left Pei Gong to drink with him that day. King Xiang and Xiang Bo sat to the east, and Yafu sat to the south. Yafu, Fan Zengye. Pei Gong sat to the north, and Zhang Liang waited on the west. Fan Zeng counted King Xiang and held up the jade he wore. ⑦Three of those who showed this, King Xiang did not respond. Fan Zengqi went out to summon Xiangzhuang and said: "The king is unbearable. If you come forward to pray for longevity, please use your sword to dance, because I will strike Pei Gong in his seat and kill him." Of. Otherwise, if they belong to everyone, they will be captured. "Zhuang Ze came to pray for longevity. After his longevity, he said: "The king is drinking with Pei Gong. There is no joy in the army. Please dance with the sword. "King Xiang said: "No. "Xiang Zhuang drew his sword and danced. Xiang Bo also drew his sword and danced, often covering Duke Pei with his wings, so that Zhuang could not attack. So Zhang Liang went to the army gate to see Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai said, "How are things going today? Liang said, "It's very urgent!" Today, Xiangzhuang draws his sword and dances, and his intention is always with Pei Gong. Kuai said: "This is a pressing matter. I invite you to come in and share your fate with me." "Kui immediately entered the army gate with his sword and shield. The guard tried to stop the fight, but Fan Kuai sided his shield to hit him. The guard fell to the ground, and Kuai entered. He stood facing west with a curtain on his head. He looked at King Xiang with his eyes and pointed fingers on his hair. The canthus of his eyes was completely cracked. King Xiang leaned on his sword and said, "What is the guest doing?" Zhang Liang said: "Pei Gong is the one who rides Fan Kuai." King Xiang said: "Strong man!" Give him wine. Then they fought with each other and drank wine. They bowed their thanks, stood up, and drank from it. King Xiang said, "Give me the pig shoulder." " Then it was a pig's shoulder for life. Fan Kuai laid his shield on the ground, put it on his shoulder, drew his sword, cut it and ate it. King Xiang said: "Strong man, can you drink again? Fan Kuai said: "If I die, don't avoid it. Let's drink wine and say goodbye!" My husband, the King of Qin, has the heart of a tiger and a wolf. If he cannot kill people and punish others without fear of victory, the whole world will rebel against him. King Huai made an agreement with the generals: "Whoever defeats Qin first and enters Xianyang will be the king." ’ Now Pei Gong broke through Qin and entered Xianyang. He did not dare to get any closer. He closed the palace and returned the army to the superior, waiting for the arrival of the king. Therefore, the generals are sent to guard the gate to prepare them for possible thefts and emergencies. For hard work and high achievements, there is no reward of being a prince, but if you listen to the details, you want to kill those who have made meritorious service. This is the continuation of the Qin Dynasty, and the stolen king will not take it. King Xiang didn't respond and said, "Sit down!" "Fan Kuai sat down from Liang. After sitting for a while, Pei Gong got up to go to the toilet, and Fan Kuai came out.

Pei Gong had already left, and King Xiang sent the captain Chen Ping to summon Pei Gong. Pei Gong said: "Now that I have come out, I have not said goodbye. Why? What can I do? Fan Kuai said: "The great conduct does not care about the meticulousness, and the great courtesy does not hesitate to make small concessions." Nowadays, people are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat, so why should I say that! So he left. He asked Zhang Liang to stay and thank him. Liang asked, "Why is the king here?" He said, "I have a pair of white jade stones that I would like to present to King Xiang, and a pair of jade jade stones that I would like to offer to my father." I will be angry and dare not offer it. Give it to me. Zhang Liang said: "I promise." "At that time, King Xiang's army was at the foot of Hongmen, and Pei Gong's army was at Bashang, forty miles away from each other. Pei Gong set up his chariot and rode alone, and together with Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Jin Qiang, Ji Xin and other four men held swords and shields. Walking. From the foot of Mount Li, we walked to Zhiyang. Peigong said to Zhang Liang, "The road from here to our army is only twenty miles away." He took me to the army, and he entered. "Pei Gong has left, and he arrived in the army. Zhang Liang went to thank him and said, "Pei Gong is too rich to handle cups and ladles, so I can't say goodbye. I would like to entrust you with a pair of white jade, and then offer it to the king. I would like to offer you a pair of jade jade, and then offer it to the general. King Xiang asked, "Where is the Pei Public Security Bureau?" "Liang said: "I heard that the king wanted to supervise it, so I got away and went alone. I have already reached the army. King Xiang received the jade and sat on it. Yafu received the jade bucket and placed it on the ground. He drew his sword and struck it, breaking it, saying, "Alas!" The vertical part is insufficient and resourceful. The one who seizes the item to rule the world must be Pei Gong. I am now a prisoner of it. "Pei Gong arrived at the army and ordered to kill Cao Wushang.

After staying for a few days, Xiang Yu led his troops to the west to massacre Xianyang, killed Qin Jiang's prince Ying, burned Qin's palace, and the fire was not extinguished for three months, so he collected his goods and treasures. Women go east. People may say that King Xiang said: "The mountains and rivers in Guanzhong are blocked by obstacles. The land is fertile, and we can dominate it all." King Xiang saw that all the Qin palaces were burnt and dilapidated, and he longed to return eastward. He said, "Wealth and honor will not return to their hometown, but they will travel at night like embroidered clothes. Who knows?" The speaker said: "People say that people in Chu wear monkeys and crown their ears. It's true." "When King Xiang heard about it, he cooked it and said it.

King Xiang ordered people to kill King Huai, and King Huai said: "As promised. " He respected King Huai as the Righteous Emperor. King Xiang wanted to become king, and the previous kings and generals said: "When the world was in trouble for the first time, I pretended to establish princes and then attack Qin. However, he was exposed to the wild for three years by Jian Zhijue, who destroyed the Qin Dynasty and established the world. It will be with the help of all the kings.

Although the Righteous Emperor has no merit, he should divide his territory and rule over it. "All the generals said: "Good! "Then the world was divided and the generals were established as lords and kings. King Xiang and Fan Zeng suspected that Pei Gong owned the world, and they had already explained it, but they refused to break the agreement and feared that the princes would rebel. They conspired and said: "The road between Ba and Shu is dangerous, and Qin will move people there. They all live in Shu. Nai said: "Ba and Shu are also in Guanzhong." "Therefore, he established Pei Gong as the king of Han, and the kings of Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong were all in Nanzheng. In the third part of Guanzhong, the king of Qin surrendered and the king of Han was separated from the king of Han. King Xiang then made Zhang Han the king of Yong, and the king west of Xianyang, all abolished Qiu. A long history Xin was appointed as the governor of Yueyang, and he was as virtuous as Xiang Liang. Commander Dong Yi originally advised Zhang Han to surrender to Chu, so he appointed Sima Xin as the king of Sei, and established his capital in Yueyang from the east of Xianyang to the river. Dong Yi was the king of Zhai, the king of Shangjun, and his capital was Gaonu. He moved to Wei Wangbao and became the king of the Western Wei Dynasty. He was king of Hedong and his capital was Pingyang. , the capital was Luoyang. The king of Han made his capital, Duyang Zhai. Zhao general Sima Ang made great achievements, so he established Ang as the king of Yin. He moved to Zhao Dynasty and became the king of Zhao. Zhang Er Su Xian also entered the Pass, so Li Er was made king of Changshan, king of Zhaodi, and Du Xiangguo. Dangyang Jun Ying Bu was the general of Chu, Chang champion, so Li Bu was made king of Jiujiang, and Wu Rui was the king of Po. He led Baiyue to assist the princes and entered the pass, so he made Rui the king of Hengshan and made his capital Zhu. Ao, the leader of the Yi Emperor Zhu Kingdom, attacked Nanjun and made many achievements. He made Ao the king of Linjiang and moved his capital to Jiangling. King of Liaodong. Yan general Zang Tu rescued Zhao from Chu and entered the Pass, so he made Tu the king of Yan and moved his capital to Ji. Guan, so the capital was established as the King of Qi, and the capital was Linzi. Therefore, the Qin Dynasty destroyed the king and built Sun Tian'an. Yang. Tian Rong defeated Xiang Liang several times and refused to send troops from Chu to attack Qin, so he did not seal it. Chen Yu, the king of Cheng'an, abandoned his seal and refused to enter the pass. However, he had always heard of his merits and achievements in Zhao. It was located in Nanpi, so because of the great achievements of Fanjun, Mei Juan was granted the title of 100,000 feudal lords. King Xiang established himself as the overlord of Western Chu, with the capital at Pengcheng.

At the end of the month, the princes stopped playing and went to their own country. When King Xiang left the country, he sent people to move to Emperor Yi, saying: "The ancient emperors lived thousands of miles away and lived in the upper reaches. "The envoys moved to Chenxian County, Changsha, Changsha. When Emperor Yi was on his way, his ministers betrayed him a little, and Yin ordered Hengshan and King Linjiang to kill him in the middle of the river. King Han had no military success, and King Xiang refused to envoy the country. When he arrived at Pengcheng, he was deposed as a marquis and had already killed Zang Tu. Because he was chasing Han Guang to Liaodong, Tu killed Guang Wuzhi and took over his territory.

Tian Rong heard that Xiang Yu moved to Qi. He was furious and refused to condemn King Qi to Jiaodong, so he rebelled against King Tiandu and went to Chu. The King of Qi was afraid of King Xiang, so Jiaodong was destroyed. Tian Rong was angry and pursued and killed Jimo. Rong Yin made himself the king of Qi, and killed Tian An, the king of Jibei. King Tian Rong of Qi said: "Xiang Yu is the ruler of the world, and there is no justice. Now the king and the old king are in the ugly land, and the king and his ministers and generals are driving the old master away from the good land. The king of Zhao is now living in the north, and the rest think it is impossible. I heard that the king has raised an army, but he will not listen to injustice. I hope that the king will provide the remaining troops to attack Changshan and recover the king of Zhao. Please use the country as a defense. "The King of Qi Xu Zhi sent troops to Zhao. Chen Yuxi sent troops from three counties to attack Changshan together with Qi, and defeated it. Zhang Er returned to the Han Dynasty. Chen Yu welcomed the old Zhao King to rest in Dai, and turned against Zhao. The Zhao King established Chen The rest was the king of Dai.

At that time, the Han Dynasty was still in control of the Three Qin Dynasties. Xiang Yu heard that all the Han kings had merged with Guanzhong and Qi and Zhao had rebelled against them, so he was furious and ordered Zheng Chang to become Han Dynasty. The king ordered Xiao Gongjiao and others to attack Peng Yue. Peng Yue defeated Xiao Gongjiao and others. The Han envoy Zhang Liang favored Han, so he left a letter to Xiang Yu saying: "The king of Han failed in his duty and wanted to stop in Guanzhong as promised. He did not dare to go east. "Then Qi and Liang wrote back to King Xiang and said: "Qi wants to join forces with Zhao to destroy Chu. "For this reason, Chu had no Western intentions, so he attacked Qi from the north. He conscripted Jiujiang King Bu. Bu said that he was not going to go, so he sent thousands of generals to go. King Xiang was resentful. In the winter of the second year of the Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu went north to Chengyang. Tian Rong also led his troops to fight. Tian Rong was defeated and went to the plains, whereupon the people of the plains burned the houses and houses of the barbarians. They all trapped Tian Rong's soldiers and took his old and weak women to Beihai. The Qi people gathered together and rebelled. So Tian Rong's brother Tian Heng gathered tens of thousands of Qi soldiers and rebelled against Chengyang.

In the spring, the Han Dynasty failed to attack. The princes' troops numbered 560,000, and they attacked Chu eastward. When King Xiang heard about it, he immediately ordered all the generals to attack him, and he sent 30,000 elite troops from Lu southward to Huling. In April, the Han army entered Pengcheng to collect their treasures. Beauty, I had a drinking party. King Xiang was in Xixiao. He attacked the Han army in Xiangdong in the morning and arrived at Pengcheng. In the middle of the day, he defeated the Han army. They followed him into the valley and Sishui, killing more than 100,000 Han soldiers.

The Han soldiers all walked south into the mountains, and the Chu soldiers pursued them until they reached the Suishui River east of Lingbi. However, the Han army was crowded by Chu and killed many people. More than 100,000 Han soldiers entered the Sui River, and the Sui River stopped flowing. Surround the King of Han three times. Then a strong wind came from the northwest, breaking down the wooden houses, blowing up sand and stones, and greeted the Chu army in the dim light of day. The Chu army was in chaos and dispersed, but the King of Han had to escape with dozens of cavalry. If you want too much, collect your family and head west. Chu also sent people to pursue Pei, and took the Han king's family. All his family died, and he did not meet the Han king. The king of Han met Xiaohui and Lu Yuan, so he carried them out. The Chu cavalry chased the King of Han. The King of Han was anxious and pushed Xiaohui and Lu Yuan off their chariots. Teng Gong often came down to collect them. This was the case for three cases. He said: "Although he is in a hurry, he cannot be driven away, so why should he abandon him?" So he was able to escape. I beg Taigong and Empress Lu not to meet each other. During the review, he followed the Taigong and Empress Lu and went to seek help from the King of Han, but met the Chu army instead. The Chu army then returned and reported to King Xiang, who often placed himself in the army.

At that time, Zhou Luhou, brother of Empress Lu, was living in Xiayi as a general of the Han Dynasty. The king of Han Dynasty followed him and collected some of his soldiers. When they reach Xingyang, all the defeated armies will gather. Xiao He also sent the old and weak Fu Xi in Guanzhong to Xingyang, where he regained great strength. Chu started in Pengcheng, often took advantage of its victory to drive north, and fought with Han in Xingyang and Nanjing. In Suojian, Han defeated Chu, so Chu could not cross Xingyang to the west.

King Xiang asked for Pengcheng and pursued the King of Han to Xingyang. Tian Heng also captured them and made Tian Rongzi Guang the King of Qi. The king of Han defeated Pengcheng, and all the princes returned to Chu and turned their backs on Han. The Han army in Xingyang built a corridor leading to the river to capture Aocang millet. In the third year of the Han Dynasty, King Xiang invaded and captured the Han Dynasty. The King of Han was short of food and fearful, so he asked for peace and cut off the west of Xingyang for the Han Dynasty.

King Xiang wanted to hear it. Fan Zeng, the Marquis of Liyang, said: "The changes of the Han Dynasty are with my ears. If I can't take it now, I will regret it later." King Xiang Nai and Fan Zeng hurriedly surrounded Xingyang. The king of Han was troubled by this, so he used Chen Ping to plot against King Xiang. King Xiang's envoy came and asked for a tool to move forward. When he saw the envoy, he was shocked and said: "I thought Yafu's envoy was an envoy against King Xiang." He went away and ate King Xiang's envoy with evil food. The envoy returned to report to King Xiang. King Xiang suspected that Fan Zeng had some personal secrets with the Han Dynasty and wanted to seize power from him. Fan Zeng was furious and said: "The great events in the world have been decided, and the king will take care of them. I would like to give the bones to the soldiers." King Xiang promised. Before reaching Pengcheng, he died of gangrene on his back.

Ji Xin, a general of the Han Dynasty, said that the king of Han said: "The matter is urgent. Please pretend to be the king of Chu, so that the king can come out." So the king of Han went out at night at the east gate of Xingyang, and captured two thousand men. Chu Soldiers attacked from all sides. Ji Xin rode in the Yellow House chariot and Fu Zuohuan said: "The food in the city is exhausted, and the King of Han surrenders." The Chu army all shouted long live. The King of Han also left the west gate of the city with dozens of riders and walked towards Chenggao. King Xiang saw Ji Xin and asked, "Where is the King of Han?" The letter said, "The King of Han has come out." King Xiang burned Ji Xin and killed him.

The king of Han sent the censors Zhou Ke, Cong Gong and Wei Bao to guard Xingyang. Zhou Ke and Cong Gongmou said: "It is difficult for the rebel king to defend the city." So they killed Wei Bao. In the city of Xingyang under Chu, Zhou Ke was born. King Xiang said to Zhou Ke, "As my general, I will make you the general, and grant thirty thousand households." Zhou Ke scolded, "If you don't want to surrender to the Han, the Han will now capture you, if you are not the enemy of the Han." In anger, he cooked Zhou Ke and killed Duke Cong.

The king of Han left Xingyang and went south to Wan and Ye. He obtained the cloth of the king of Jiujiang, then withdrew his troops and returned to Baochenggao. In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, King Xiang advanced and surrounded Chenggao. The King of Han fled and went out to the north gate of Chenggao alone with Teng Gong. He crossed the river and marched to Xiuwu, and followed Zhang Er and Han Xin's army. After a while, the generals came to Chenggao and followed the king of Han. Chu then pulled out Cheng Gao and wanted to go west. The Han sent troops away from Gong to prevent them from going west.

At that time, Peng Yue crossed the river to attack Chu Dong'a and killed the Chu general Xue Gong. King Xiang then attacked Pengyue from the east. The King of Han obtained troops from the Marquis of Huaiyin and wanted to cross Henan. Zheng Zhong said that the king of Han was in Hanoi. He sent Liu Jia's troops to assist Pengyue and burned Chu's accumulation. Xiang Wangdong defeated him and defeated Peng Yue. The king of Han then led his troops across the river and recaptured Chenggao. The army was widely spread and they took food in Aocang. King Xiang had already set his sights on coming from the East China Sea. From the west, he and the Han army marched to Guangwu and stayed together for several months.

At this time, Peng Yue counted all the lands in Liang and lost all the food. When King Xiang was worried about it, he placed it on Gaozu and placed the Taigong on him. He told the King of Han, "Don't be in a hurry now. I'll cook the Taigong." The King of Han said, "Xiang Yu and I both went to the north and were ordered by King Huai, who said, 'We are brothers.' The old man is like a young man. If he wants to cook, he will be lucky to have a piece of the pie." King Xiang was angry and wanted to kill him. Xiang Bo said: "The affairs of the world are unknown, and those who serve the world do not care about their families. Although killing them is useless, it will only bring harm to the ears." King Xiang followed.

The Chu and Han dynasties have been in a stalemate for a long time. The young and strong are struggling in the army, and the old and weak have to turn to the canal. King Xiang said to the King of Han: "The Xiongxiong in the world are several years old, but with my two ears, I am willing to challenge the King of Han to decide between male and female, rather than suffering the consequences of father and son, the people of the world." The King of Han smiled and thanked him, "I would rather fight with my wits. Not able to fight." King Xiang ordered the strong men to challenge him. There was a man from the Han Dynasty named Lou Fan who was good at riding and shooting. If the Chu army challenged Sanhe, Lou Fan would always kill him. King Xiang was furious and challenged him with a halberd.

Lou Fan wanted to shoot him, but King Xiang scolded him with angry eyes. Lou Fan didn't dare to look at him or use his hands, so he walked back into the wall and didn't dare to come back. The King of Han sent people to ask questions, and it was King Xiang who asked about it. The king of Han was shocked. So King Xiang, the Prime Minister of Han Dynasty, spoke to Lin Guang Wu. The king of Han counted them, but King Xiang was angry and wanted to fight. The king of Han did not listen. King Xiang's crossbow hit the King of Han. The king of Han was injured and went to Chenggao.

King Xiang heard that the Marquis of Huaiyin had moved to Hebei to defeat Qi and Zhao, and wanted to attack Chu, so he sent the dragon to attack them. The Marquis of Huaiyin fought against him, and the cavalry general Guan Ying attacked him. He defeated the Chu army and killed the dragon. Han Xin established himself as King of Qi. When King Xiang heard about the dragon and his army being defeated, he was frightened and sent Wu She from Xutai to speak to the Marquis of Huai. The Marquis of Huaiyin listened. At that time, Peng Yue rebelled again and went to Xia Liang, depriving Chu of food. King Xiang said to Cao Jiu, the chief commander of Haichunhou, and others: "Be careful to defend Chenggao. If the Han Dynasty wants to challenge you, be careful not to fight or to gain the east. In the fifteenth day, I will kill Peng Yue, Dingliang, and return to the general." "Nai Dong, attack Chenliu and Waihuang.

The outside is yellow. After a few days of surrender, King Xiang was angry and ordered the man, who was fifteen years old, to go to the east of the city in order to trap him. When Waihuang ordered Sheren to be thirteen years old, he went to King Xiang and said, "Peng Yue powerfully robbed Waihuang, and Waihuang was afraid, so he surrendered and waited for the king. When the king came, he was all trapped, so how could the people want to return home? From now on, eastward, More than ten cities in Liang are afraid, and no one is willing to go down." King Xiang said that he would pardon those who were outside the Huangdang pit. As far as Suiyang in the east, everyone who heard about it was vying for the title of King Xiang.

Han Guo challenged the Chu army to fight several times, but the Chu army did not come out. He was humiliated, and on the fifth or sixth day, the commander of the army was angry and crossed the Sishui River. When the soldiers were halfway across, the Han attacked them, greatly defeating the Chu army and taking away all the goods from Chu. Da Sima Jiu, Chang Shi Yi, and Sai Wang Xin all came from Si River. The chief minister, Jiu, was the warden of Qi, and the chief minister, Xin, was the warden of Yueyang. They were both as virtuous as Xiang Liang, so they were trusted by King Xiang. At that time, King Xiang was in Suiyang. When he heard that Hai Chunhou's army was defeated, he led his troops back. The Han army besieged Zhongli in the east of Xingyang. When King Xiang arrived, the Han army was afraid of Chu and ran into danger.

At that time, the Han soldiers had plenty of food, but King Xiang’s soldiers stopped eating. The Han Dynasty sent Lu Jia to speak to King Xiang and invite the Grand Duke, but King Xiang did not listen. The king of Han again sent Duke Hou to speak to King Xiang, and King Xiang made an agreement with Han to divide the world among them. Those who cut the chasm to the west were Han, and those who cut the chasm to the east were Chu. King Xiang promised it. That is to say, she belongs to the parents and wife of the King of Han. The army all shouted long live. The king of Han then made Duke Hou the King of Pingguo, and refused to see him again. He said: "This world's best debater lives in the Qing Dynasty, so he is called the Lord of Pingguo." King Xiang made an appointment, so he led his troops to retreat and returned eastward.
