Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 81 The Difference Between Qin and Han
After seeing Xiang Yu's statement, both Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo seemed to have no objection, so Zhang Wen also said that since everyone had no objection, he would start sending troops to continue to attack the Xiliang area in the near future.

In the next few days, Xiang Yu ordered to check the situation of his soldiers to see if any of them had no winter clothes to wear, but he didn't know if he didn't check. Every soldier was issued a set of winter clothes, but some of them obviously have serious quality problems. These winter clothes are not warm at all, especially some of them are of worse quality, and they will condense as long as they get a little bit of water. It is undoubtedly difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness when soldiers wear such clothes to fight in the cold Xiliang area in winter.

Later, Xiang Yu also talked about this matter with Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo respectively, but the attitudes of the two were similar, that is, although they were very angry at this behavior of the Eastern Han court, there was nothing they could do. Controlled by the eunuch group headed by the ten permanent servants, the emperor is almost becoming their puppet. No matter what bad things they do, the emperor will not blame them.

On the contrary, if there is any minister with a little conscience in the court who comes out to impeach these ten permanent servants, then he will definitely be retaliated against. Hearing this, Xiang Yu couldn't help but think of that in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, there was such a powerful person beside Qin Shihuang This eunuch can be said to cover the sky with one hand. This person is Zhao Gao, whom Qin Shihuang especially trusted. The imperial court was destroyed, which also accelerated the demise of the entire Qin Empire.

Speaking of which, when Xiang Yu fought against Zhang Han and Wang Li in the Battle of Julu, Wang Li's army was originally defeated by Xiang Yu, and Zhang Han still had 20 troops in his hands. The remnant forces of the national aristocracy have been marked for a long time, but this guy Zhao Gao did Xiang Yu a big favor at this time.

At that time, because Zhang Han's combat style was relatively calm, he was not very aggressive in the battle with Xiang Yu, but in the eyes of Qin Ershi Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, Zhang Han did not want to fight. Fighting the enemy with all his strength, and even being suspected of treason and collaborating with the enemy, this is how Lu Zhi encountered in the Yellow Turban Rebellion before. Lu Zhi also wanted to besiege the Yellow Turban Army in a more secure way, but was killed by the eunuch He said some bad things in the emperor's ear, which led to him being escorted back to the court for trial. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhi had a relatively wide network of people and many people spoke up for him in front of the emperor, it would have been difficult for him to escape unscathed this time.

At that time, after Zhang Han learned that Qin Ershi Hu Hai and Zhao Gao had doubts about him, he was shocked and frightened, and quickly sent his men back to Guanzhong to explain to the emperor and Zhao Gao, but at that time Zhao Gao had completely controlled him. In the court hall, anyone who wants to see the emperor needs Zhao Gao to nod, so this person can only ask Zhao Gao if he can't see the emperor.

As a result, Zhao Gao showed a look of not wanting to see him at all, which made the people sent back by Zhang Han very frightened, so they had to take a small road and escape from Xianyang City overnight, fearing that Zhao Gao would catch him and kill him. Later, Zhao Gao really sent someone to chase him, but he couldn't catch him because he ran away from the path.

What happened later was that this man came back and told Zhang Han about it. Zhang Han was terrified, saying that he had done his best for the Qin Dynasty and led the army to fight hard outside, but in the end he would be killed by Zhao Gao, a despicable eunuch. , the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I decided to discuss surrender with Xiang Yu.

Later, Zhang Han led the 20 Qin army to surrender to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu treated Zhang Han better, and later made him king, but Xiang Yu was really sorry for the 20 Qin army he led to surrender. It's just worrying, and the food supply at that time was really not enough to feed the [-] army.

After all, the Qin Dynasty had always done a good job in terms of logistics supplies at that time. One of the important reasons why Qin Shihuang was able to annihilate the six kingdoms and eventually rule the world was that the Guanzhong area was a very rich food producing area at that time. A good logistics supply system also invented some dry food such as pot helmets that can be carried and eaten by soldiers for a long time, so the Qin army led by Qin Shihuang was able to fight for a long time and gradually wiped out the six countries one by one.

And the 20 Qin army was supported by the powerful logistics supplies of the Qin Dynasty before, but now once Xiang Yu surrenders, Xiang Yu's own tens of thousands of troops will be hungry from time to time. How can there be so much food? To feed so many people, so they can only do one thing and kill the 20 Qin army endlessly.

But then again, what Xiang Yu did was indeed a little too much. After all, people surrendered to him anyway. Even if he couldn't support him, could he let them all go? Although doing so did have certain risks, However, Xiang Yu's behavior of killing surrendered soldiers obviously also made Xiang Yu bear a lot of infamy, which made many talents stay away from him.

This can be regarded as one of the foreshadowings for Xiang Yu's final failure later. Of course, Xiang Yu killed these Qin soldiers, and there may also be a very important reason for pure revenge, just like he later directly burned the entire city of Xianyang The same, it means venting the hatred of Qin and Qin Shihuang on these people.

But today's Eastern Han court seems to have surpassed the period of Qin Ershi Hu Hai at that time. In fact, although Qin Shihuang passed away at that time, it was not long before the powerful Qin Dynasty unified the world. The martial Qin people still maintained a very strong combat power. In comparison, the current Eastern Han Dynasty is far inferior to the Qin Dynasty in terms of combat capability at that time. To be honest, if there was not such an invincible general like Xiang Yu at that time If it existed, maybe the Qin Dynasty could really last for many years.

After all, Zhang Han at that time could be regarded as a famous general of a generation. With some Lishan prisoners, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebel army could be easily wiped out, and other generals except Xiang Yu were fighting Zhang Han. If Zhang Han had not met Xiang Yu but anyone else, Zhang Han would not have lost, then history is likely to be rewritten, and he may eventually become the leader of Qin Dynasty. The hero of the dynasty, with his own power, put down the rebellion in the world.

In that way, there will be nothing about Liu Bang later, and it is entirely possible that the rule of the Qin Dynasty may continue for hundreds of years.
