In 206 BC, in the military camp on the west bank of the river, Xiang Yu was wearing black armor and his eyes were as bright as a torch.On the map spread out in front of him, the eighteen fiefdoms were like broken puzzle pieces, hiding murderous intent.When Liu Bang knelt down to receive the seal of the King of Han, his fingers clenched tightly.Tian Rong didn't get an inch of land, his eyes flashed with cold light.The fiefdoms of Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi, the surrendered generals of the Three Qin Dynasty, were like an iron rope across the pass.This feast called "enfeoffment" is actually a power game carefully planned by Xiang Yu.However, just eight months later, war broke out again, the princes turned against each other, and Xiang Yu's dominance took a turn for the worse.Why did a plan that was supposed to stabilize the country turn into a Waterloo for the overlord of Western Chu?

In February, Xiang Yu presided over the enfeoffment of counties and counties in the post-war world.Why should Xiang Yu take the lead in enfeoffment?Of course, it's because he is the strongest. In the face of powerful strength, if he doesn't want to be dealt with, he can only be obedient.

Since Xiang Yu presided over the enfeoffment, we must first resolve the status issue of King Huai of Chu. "Historical Records: The Benji of Emperor Gaozu" records: [Xiang Yu said: "King Huai, my family Xiang Liang has set up an ear. If there is no attack, how can we get the master's agreement! The world is originally determined, and all generals have their own status." Naixian respects King Huai as the righteous emperor, but his life is really unnecessary.】

First, promote King Huai of Chu to the Righteous Emperor, give him a promotion, and leave King Chu free, so that at the "king" level, everyone can do whatever they want.The next step was of course to confer title on himself first. Xiang Yu was not polite and professed himself the "Overlord of Western Chu". He was the king of the nine counties of Liang Chu, with the capital at Pengcheng.

Everyone is king, but only Xiang Yu is the overlord.This overlord is Xiang Yu's official certification of himself as the overlord of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the leader of the princes.This is because he is embarrassed to call himself emperor now, but he is not willing to sit on an equal footing with everyone. In order to show that he is superior to others, Xiang Yu specially added the word "Ba" in front of his king, which makes him look so domineering.

The most interesting thing is the enfeoffment of Liu Bang. Knowing that Liu Bang liked Guanzhong, they refused to enfeoff it to him. However, because of the agreement that "the first to enter Guanzhong will be the king", Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng decided to enfeoff Liu Bang to Bashu after discussion.Because Bashu is also the hometown of the Qin State. There is the Qinling Mountains between here and Guanzhong. The mountains are high, the terrain is steep, and the roads are rugged and difficult to travel. In the past, it was the standard place of exile for the Qin State to send prisoners. When you are sent here, you don’t have to worry about the prisoners escaping, because they can’t escape at all.

Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng also argued: "Bashu also belongs to Guanzhong, and sealing Liu Bang here is also a fulfillment of the contract. It complies with regulations and there is no problem of breach of contract."

What can Liu Bang say?If you are strong, you are justified.

If there was only Bashu, it would be really difficult for Liu Bang to come out again. Fortunately, Zhang Liang was there.With Zhang Liang's efforts, they also granted Hanzhong to Liu Bang. It was this decision that saved Liu Bang.How important Hanzhong was to Bashu and how critical it was to the fight for the Central Plains. Two hundred years later, Liu Bei fought with Cao Cao here for three years to fight for Hanzhong.Later, Zhuge Liang made Hanzhong the base camp of his Northern Expedition in the Central Plains.

Liu Bang was named King of Han, and the capital of Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong was Nanzheng.

Xiang Yu divided Qin's hometown Guanzhong into three parts and granted them to three surrendered generals of Qin respectively.Zhang Han was granted the title of King of Yong; Sima Xin persuaded Zhang Han to surrender and was granted the title of King of Se; Dong Yi persuaded Zhang Han to surrender to Chu and was granted the title of King of Zhai.The land of Qin was divided among three Qin generals, and later Guanzhong was called the "land of the Three Qins." Xiang Yu's purpose of sealing the Three Qins in Guanzhong was to block Liu Bang, but he still failed to block it.

Xiang Yu wanted to occupy all the good places. He took the north of Huaisi, the most fertile land of Wei, as his own, and then made the original owner Wei Bao the king of the Western Wei. As the name suggests, he was the king of the western Wei.Although Wei Bao was reluctant, he still had to obey the assignment. The capital of Wang Hedong County was Pingyang.

Just because Shen Yang was Zhang Er's favorite, he took the lead in conquering Henan County, achieved military exploits, and met the Chu army on the river, he was made king of Henan, with his capital at Luoyang.

The original Korean king Han Cheng was the Korean clan who was restored to the country, so he was still the king of Han, and his capital was Yangzhai.

Zhao general Sima Yan captured Hanoi County, blocked Zhang Han's retreat, and granted him the title of King of Yin.

The original king of Zhao, Zhao Xie, was also driven away from his original territory and went to Daibei to become the acting king.

Zhang Er, Prime Minister of Zhao, had a wide network and many friends. The most important thing was that he followed Xiang Yu into the Pass. Although he did not achieve any military exploits, he was known as "big brother". Xiang Yu had a good impression of him, so he made Zhang Er the king of Changshan, king of Zhao land, and ruler of Xiangguo.
