Records of the Emperor Gaozu in Historical Records recorded the words "Wang Zhi first entered Guanzhong", which means that whoever can take the lead in entering Guanzhong and stabilize people's hearts will be crowned king. Chu Huaiwang's decision also has its historical background. At that time, the insurgents were losing ground under the oppression of Qin Jun, Chen Sheng and Guangwu were destroyed, and Xiang Liang died, which was a life-and-death moment for the insurgents. However, after Xiang Liang's death, Chu Huaiwang had a career in his heart.
Historical Records of Emperor Gaozu: "In the third year of Qin Ershi, Chu Huaiwang was very afraid when he saw that Liang Jun was broken. He moved to Pengcheng, the capital of Taiwan, and Lv Chen and the army of Xiang Yu took it. Take Pei Gong as the satrap of the Party and County, make him the Hou of Wu 'an, and be a soldier of the Party and County. Xiang Yu was named Hou of Chang 'an and Duke Lu. Lv Chen is Stuart, and his father Lv Qing is Lingyin. Zhao asked for help. I thought that Xiang Yu would be the second and Fan Zeng the last to save Zhao Yubei. Make Pei slightly enter the customs. Make an appointment with the general and enter the customs first. " As can be seen from historical records, after Xiang Liang's death, Chu Huaiwang immediately came to Pengcheng and seized the military power of Lv Chen and Xiang Yu. And then deal with the insurgents at that time? Hey? /p & gt；
At this time, Chu Huaiwang made two military decisions; First, send Xiang Yu to Zhao in the north; Second, Liu Bangxi was sent to destroy Qin and enter the customs. And agreed that the first to enter the customs is king. However, the difficulty of these two tasks is different. There are two main forces in the north, which are facing Zhao's rescue. This is a hard bone to chew. Comparatively speaking, it was much easier for Liu Bang to destroy Qin in the West. So, why did Chu Huaiwang make this decision? There are two reasons.
First, Chu Huaiwang thought Xiang Yu was too cruel and easy to be killed, while Liu Bang was a generous and calm elder who was more qualified for the task of western expedition to destroy Qin. At the beginning of Historical Records-Biography of Emperor Gaozu, Chu Huaiwang made an appointment with the generals: "Wang Zhi will set Guanzhong first." When it was, Qin Bing was powerful, and General Molly was the first to enter the customs. Xiang Yu blamed Qin for killing Xiang Liang and was willing to enter the customs with Pei. All the veterans of Huai Wang said, "Xiang Yu is a man, what about it?" G fierce treacherous thief, trying to attack Xiangcheng, Xiangcheng is just a pit, all destroyed. But Chu was bold, and both former princes and Xiang Liang were defeated. It's better to send the old man, help the west and tell Qin's father and brother. Qin's father and brother have suffered from their master for a long time, but now they are sincere in getting rid of the old man, with no intention of aggression. Xiang was not sent away, but he was very tolerant of the old man.
Second, Chu Huaiwang excluded Gu Xiang and Xiang Yu. Chu Huaiwang has always been cautious about establishing his Xiang Liang family. After all, Xiang Jia can set him up or abolish him. After the death of the powerful Xiang Liang, Chu Huaiwang got the opportunity to get rid of the puppet king. As a dreamer, Chu Huaiwang, faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, naturally he can't make his family bigger, which poses a threat to him. So it is understandable to send Xiang Yu to gnaw at the hard bones of Qin Jun's main regiment.
