In 230 BC, Korea was destroyed by the Qin state! This was also the first of the Six Kingdoms destroyed by Qin Shi Huang.
At this moment, Zhang Liang was around 20 years old, South Korea was wiped out, and it can be said that Zhang Liang was one of the victims.
Why?
From Zhang Liang's father to his grandfather, three generations are the prime minister of Korea, and their three generations have assisted the five generations of Korean monarchs, and if nothing goes wrong, Zhang Liang will also inherit the position of prime minister of his father.
Such Zhang Liang is the descendant of the real aristocratic family, and to put it bluntly, there is not much difference between some Korea and their family, at least their family is a vested interest!
However, because Korea was destroyed by the Qin state, he could only be a disgraced prince. Obviously, this result was not what Zhang Liang wanted. Zhang Liang is an ambitious person, and he is not willing to do nothing in his life.
So, he wants to revive Korea!
For Zhang Liang, if he wants to revive Korea, he must kill Qin Shi Huang. Only by killing this person could it be possible for the Great Qin Empire to collapse.
However, killing Yingzheng is not a simple thing, at least you have to see Yingzheng first. How do you meet Yingzheng? Zhang Liang is a smart person, and of course he can find an opportunity. He knew that Yingzheng had a job, and that was a nationwide parade.
If he can assassinate Yingzheng, it will only be during his national parade.
But then again, even if you can seize this opportunity, how do you assassinate Yingzheng?
Zhang Liang traveled to many places, looking for strange people and strangers, and after that, he found a person with great strength in the country of Qi. And spent a lot of money to build a large hammer, wanting To make Hercules use the big hammer to smash Yingzheng into a mess. Of course, it was from a distance to the place where Yingzheng passed.
It is not easy to complete such a difficult assassination. It was necessary to practice frequently, and only in this way could it be possible to smash the palanquin in which Qin Shi Huang was sitting.
Zhang Liang felt that he could accomplish this feat!
In 218 BC, the news of Qin Shi Huang's journey to the east was known to Zhang Liang, and he also learned that Qin Shi Huang was going to pass through the place of Bolangsha, so he waited here with Hercules for the arrival of Qin Shi Huang.
However, when Qin Shi Huang passed in front of them, he knew that it was too difficult to kill Qin Shi Huang, because there were dozens of identical palanquins appearing below, and you had no idea which palanquin Qin Shi Huang was in.
Which palanquin to choose to start with?
At present, they can only smash it once, as long as they smash the big hammer down, it will alarm Qin Shi Huang's guards, and the two of them may be arrested.
But even then they have to try because they don't have a choice!
So, in the panic, they chose a palanquin and smashed it. Later, though, they learned they hadn't hit it. Fearing wanted, they threw out their hammers and fled.
This matter is not trivial, And Yingzheng has stepped up the search and, at the same time, strengthened the security work. If Zhang Liang wanted to kill Yingzheng again, it would become almost impossible.
Zhang Liang was also wanted, and he had to go into hiding in a remote place. It was when he was hiding that he met an old gentleman, who gave him a copy of the "Taigong War Law", and it can be said that Zhang Liang's imperial way was learned from this Taigong War Law.
What Zhang Liang did not expect was that after the assassination of Qin Shi Huang was lost, he never had the opportunity to kill Qin Shi Huang again. Because in 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang died.
Since Qin Shi Huang had died, his goal was not to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, but to choose to overthrow Great Qin. Of course, if you want to overthrow Great Qin, it is not simple to seize the opportunity.
When this opportunity will come and whether it will come or not, no one knows. Later, we all know that Qin II was faint and incompetent, which led to the chaos at the end of Qin.
In this way, taking advantage of the chaotic era at the end of Qin, Zhang Liang also joined the rebel army, at that time, he joined the Xiang family army led by Xiang Liang, and it was here that he met a man named Liu Bang.
At that time, Liu Bang led his compatriots to join Xiang Liang's camp. Their purpose was the same, to overthrow the tyrannical Qin.
Zhang Liang, Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang all participated in the work of eliminating Qin. It took them three years to wipe out the Qin state, and it is reasonable to say that zhang Liang's revenge was also repaid at this time, and he could withdraw from the jianghu.
However, why did he help Liu Bang destroy Xiang Yu?
At the time of the annihilation of Qin, Zhang Liang knew both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and Zhang Liang did not belong to any of them, and Zhang Liang still supported Han Wangcheng.
Although Korea was destroyed, after the great chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the countries chose the descendants of the original Six Kingdoms to restore the country. Zhang Liang was korean, so he assisted Han Wangcheng.
After the destruction of the State of Qin, King Cheng of Han was also renamed King of Han by Xiang Yu. However, later, Xiang Yu didn't even make a sound of greeting, so he killed this Han Wangcheng.
This caused Zhang Liang's dissatisfaction, originally he wanted to restore Korea, Xiang Yu killed Han Wangcheng, which was equivalent to Xiang Yu cutting off his dream.
In this case, can he not hate Xiang Yu?
Therefore, when Liu Bang re-killed Hanzhong, he joined Liu Bang's camp and destroyed Xiang Yu with Liu Bang. We all know that in the process of Liu Bang's destruction of Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang played a great role. It can even be said that without Zhang Liang, Liu Bang would not be able to destroy Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's loss of the world can only be said to have something to do with the fact that there are too many people he has offended. At least he shouldn't have killed Han Wangcheng to offend Zhang Liang, otherwise, Zhang Liang wouldn't have helped Liu Bang destroy Xiang Yu.
There was also Han Xin who was also under Xiang Yu's account, but he was not reused by Xiang Yu before he ran to Liu Bang. Among the three masters of the Early Han Dynasty, Han Xin was not reused by Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang was forced by Xiang Yu to Liu Bang, Xiao He was originally Liu Bang's subordinate, Liu Bang had these three people, and it was not difficult to destroy Xiang Yu.
Therefore, the reason why Zhang Liang wanted to help Liu Bang destroy Xiang Yu was because Han Wangcheng was killed, and Zhang Liang's previous efforts were wasted.
