Liu Bang also decided that by what means did the Three Qin Dynasties organize the 560,000-strong "Anti-Chu Alliance"?By acting.So how did Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite troops defeat an army of 560,000?Rely on strength.
In March 205 BC, Liu Bangjun arrived in Xincheng near Luoyang. What surprised him was that as soon as he arrived, someone stopped him to complain.Different from ordinary civilian complaints, the identity of this complainant is very special-San Lao Dong Gong.At that time, there were three levels: county, township and city, and the township-level chiefs were the three elders.His request was simple. Xiang Yu killed Emperor Yi and asked the King of Han to seek justice for Emperor Yi.
Liu Bang had already heard about the murder of Emperor Yi by Xiang Yu, and now it was even more certain. Liu Bang immediately realized that he could make a big fuss out of this matter.So, in front of everyone, Liu Bang made an astonishing move: he cried, cried hard, cried hard, and howled. He cried like a child, his movements were funny, and his appearance was funny.
I have to say that Liu Bang is really a good actor. Without any rehearsal, he spoke his lines very smoothly. The whole scene was just right, extremely contagious, and successfully aroused everyone's emotions.
After performing the hard work, Liu Bang immediately put on some lip service and announced in public: "I, Liu Bang, the King of Han, swear to work with all the princes and kings to eradicate Xiang Yu, the sinner who killed Emperor Yi, in order to avenge blood!"
"Historical Records: The Benji of Emperor Gaozu" records: [When the king of Han heard this, he opened his mouth and burst into tears.Then the mourning for the Righteous Emperor was held for three days.】
After the speech, Liu Bang immediately sent someone to set up an altar and held a grand funeral ceremony for Emperor Yi.On the altar, Liu Bang took off his shirt, exposed his arms, cried loudly, filled with righteous indignation, and swore to the heavenly alliance: "[The world will establish the Righteous Emperor together, and we will do it from the north. Now Xiang Yu lets the Righteous Emperor be killed in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a great rebellion."Dao.I am personally mourning, and all the princes are in mourning.I have sent troops to the pass, gathered soldiers from Sanhe, and floated south to Jianghan.I am willing to attack Chu from the princes and kill the Yi Emperor." This is Liu Bang's "Message to the Princes".
At this point, he officially announced the crusade against Xiang Yu in front of the whole world. At the same time, he also followed Zhang Liang's suggestion and announced the abolition of the Qin State and the establishment of the Han State.These two points provided Liu Bang with high-sounding reasons and excuses for sending troops.
At this time, the Sanqin Battle, the first battle in the branch line of the Chu-Han War for Hegemony, has basically ended, and what is about to enter is the first battle of the four major battles in the main line - the Battle of Pengcheng.
In order to win the support of more princes, Liu Bang planned to win over Chen Yu to ask him for advice.Chen Yu is not only resourceful, but also has a deep hatred for Xiang Yu. If he can be used as his own at this time, it will relieve Liu Bang's worries during the march and greatly enhance the strength of Liu Bang's army.It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
Facing the olive branch extended by Liu Bang, Chen Yu's attitude was very clear: "I also want to reach an alliance agreement with you, the King of Han, but I also have difficulties. Now that Zhang Er is under your command, and I am at odds with him, the time for our cooperation is not ripe."
Liu Bang asked him what to do.Chen Yu only answered with one word: "Kill!"
Faced with the conditions proposed by Chen Yu, Liu Bang was stunned. Firstly, he and Zhang Er had a teacher-student friendship, and secondly, Zhang Er had traveled thousands of miles to join him. He was affectionate and righteous. If he were to be killed, it would chill the hearts of the people in the world.
If you kill Zhang Er, you can get Chen Yu, but if you don't kill Zhang Er, you can't get Chen Yu. This seems to be a problem that you can't have your cake and eat it too, but Liu Bang quickly found a way to get the best of both worlds. On the one hand, he vowed to agree to Chen Yu's request, and on the other hand, he found a scapegoat for Zhang Er with good intentions.
Looking at the bloody head, Chen Yu smiled. What a kind of relief it was to relieve hatred and resolve hatred!Then he also fulfilled his obligation-sending troops to help Liu Bang.
