At that time, Qin Shihuang built large-scale projects, such as the Great Wall, the equator, the imperial tombs and palaces. Most of them were forced to work as coolies by cowards in kanto region. These coolies were bullied by Qin people before, so they rose up and joined the army against Qin. Now that the tables have turned, Qin Jun has become a pawn after the defeat, and the officers and men of the vassal army have not changed their personal vendetta! Qin Jun's surrender was unbearable. When he arrived in Xin 'an, he finally secretly complained. He said privately: "General Zhang tricked us into surrendering to the vassals, and now it is a great kindness to be able to enter the customs and break the Qin Dynasty;" If not, the ministers will take us east, and Qin will kill my parents and wife. " In fact, the state of Qin was destroyed by Liu Bang as early as a month ago, but obviously the news has not reached the vassal army.
These complaints were reflected in the allied high command, and the generals asked Xiang Yu to make a decision. Xiang Yu summoned two generals, Ying Bu and Pu, to discuss with them: "Although there are many Qin officials, I am not satisfied. If they don't listen to Guanzhong's orders, things will be dangerous. It is better to kill them, but only when they are alone with Zhang Han, Chang Shixin and Dewey can they be safe. "
So, on this night, Ying Bu and General Pu led the troops to raid Qin Jun Camp, killing all 200,000 Qin Jun soldiers south of Xin 'an, leaving no survivors!
But in fact, this record is flawed.
First of all, the number of people is insoluble. According to "The Prosperity and Biography of the History of Han Dynasty", "Yu will send more than 300,000 vassal soldiers down to Henan and west to Xin 'an. "It shows that when this multinational force arrived in Xin 'an, there were more than 300,000 people, but after entering the customs, the number was not less, but more (according to the Record of Emperor Gaozu:" At that time, there were 400,000 feather soldiers, numbered one million. Pei Gong Bing has hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands. " ) From Xin 'an to Hong Men, the vassal army received tens of thousands of Vietnamese soldiers from Wu Rui at most. If all Qin Jun were raped, there would be more than 200,000 vassal troops at most after entering the customs, but it would be impossible to reach 400,000.
In addition, these two hundred thousand chi soldiers are all soldiers, not prisoners of war. They still have weapons in their hands, and other vassal armies are only hundreds of thousands of people. How could they all be killed overnight? This is also very incomprehensible.
Some people say that the vassal army forced them into the valley, then condescended and killed them all with bows and stones from the valley, just like killing 400 thousand Zhao pawn.
It is out of the question. The Zhao pawn who was killed now was a prisoner of war who had been hungry for more than 40 days, and was confiscated, no different from the lamb to be slaughtered. After four months of adaptation, these hundreds of Qin soldiers were not only not confiscated weapons, but also well-organized. Led by Qin general Sima Xin, they were the vanguard of the vassal army and the authentic "first party to destroy the Qin Dynasty" (according to Records of the Historian Xiang Yu's Biography, "Xiang Yu made Zhang Han the king of Yong and placed him in the Chu army." Make Chang Shixin a general and Qin Jun a striker "); Then the question is, how can this heavily armed 200,000-strong reorganized Qin Jun do nothing? Won't they resist? Even after a war, Qin Jun was completely annihilated, and the vassal army had to lose at least tens of thousands of soldiers. This account is not cost-effective, and Ying Bu and other governors will not agree at all.
Besides, where did Chu Jun find so many valleys to accommodate 200,000 Qin soldiers? At that time, 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed in Tian Lei because of many grand canyons in Changping. He can divide the Zhao pawns into many batches and cheat them into various valleys for slaughter, but Xin 'an has no such landform.
19 12 years, the workers who built the Longhai Railway found a big pit 400 meters long from east to west and 250 meters wide from north to south in Xin 'an, from which countless white bones were excavated. Historians have verified that this is the place where Xiang Yu killed Qin pawn.
The problem is that a pit 400 meters long from east to west and 250 meters wide from north to south simply can't hold 200,000 people standing, let alone slaughter them indiscriminately. In addition, the Chu army must find a way to lure all these 200 thousand chi into the valley. Tian Lei pit killed Zhao, but many corpse pits were found in Changping area. Xin 'an only found this one.

The last point: After Xiang Yu entered the Shanhaiguan Pass, he became king with the vassals, but he still made Zhang Han, Dong Ming and Sima Xin king, guarding the land of Sanqin. Imagine if all the soldiers in Qin Jun were raped and killed. How can Zhang Han's three-in-one army hold the land of Sanqin and fight Liu Bang and Han Xin for several months? Even if we have to recruit again, we must have the support of the original armed forces to catch the able-bodied men, otherwise who will listen to these three "leading parties"
Xianyang Wang Xiang, Xiang Yu made a mistake in letting these three defeated soldiers stay in Sanqin; But if you kill all their soldiers and let them stay in Sanqin, it will be * * *.
In fact, among the 200,000 stroke patients in Qin Jun, at least two people still left their mark on the history books. One is Zhao Ben, a general of the State of Qin, who fought alongside Liu Bang in Kaifeng and Luoyang. Zhao Ben forced Liu Bang to go south to Wuguan to enter Qin, which was powerful, but in the face of more than 300,000 troops of Xiang Yu, he finally chose to surrender. Xiang Yu later asked him to guard Xianyang, which belonged to Zhang Han, the king of Yong. The other is Zhang Han's doctor riding Lv Matong. Before he died in Wujiang River, he reached friendship with Xiang Yu, indicating that Qin Jun had a good relationship with Xiang Yu.
All this shows that not all the 200,000 chi soldiers were killed by the pit. In other words, Xiang Yu did kill Chi, but he should only kill a part of them, that is, the part of Chi who planned the uprising in Qin Jun, so as to deter other soldiers. Because in the background at that time, the army usually had a timid mentality and lacked the courage to fight. When some people face killing, others will never stand up to help them save their lives. In this way, the remaining soldiers were divided into various vassal armies, which effectively prevented another mutiny, and there was no need to kill all 200 thousand chi.
Anyway, Xiang Yu should have killed tens of thousands of Qin Jun. This inhuman slaughter policy, coupled with the hype of Liu Bang's regime, made Xiang Yu lose Qin Min's heart even more, which laid a great foundation for his future downfall. But in Xiang Yu's mind, I think it should be dismissive, because he only regarded Qin people as enemies and aliens from beginning to end. He hoped that all the Qin people would perish, so that the world would be completely peaceful, and then he could return to Pengcheng with his concubine Ma Fangnan and live a comfortable life that only envied Yuanyang but not immortals.
Xiang Yu wants to be beautiful. But Qin people can't die, and the world can't be peaceful so soon. Fighting violence with violence can only make the world more chaotic.
Unfortunately, this simple truth, if it weren't for a 13-year-old child in Waihuangcheng, Xiang Yu almost died.
