From Guanzhong to Pengcheng, why is Liu Bang unimpeded on the road of "eastward march"?
In this article, I will talk to you about this topic.
Xiang Yu sealed Liu Bang in the poor bashu land, and Liu Bang was very dissatisfied with such a consequence. At the instigation of Han Xin, Liu Bang reorganized his army and prepared to retake the land of Guanzhong in one fell swoop, and then used Guanzhong as his base camp to fight east to win the world.
Xiang Yu looked at his head and tail
According to the covenant of the King of Huai made by king Huai of Chu, Liu Bang was supposed to be"
King of Guanzhong
However, Xiang Yu divided Guanzhong into three according to his own preferences, and gave them to Zhang Handan, Dong Feng, and Sima Xin respectively. Liu Bang wanted to fight east for the world, and the first thing to eliminate was the three Qin kings that Xiang Yu had appointed, which was tantamount to provoking Xiang Yu.
That is to say, Xiang Yu's support for the King of Three Qin was probably the biggest obstacle for Liu Bang to still determine the Three Qins. But surprisingly, until Liu Bang pacified the Land of Three Qin, Xiang Yu did not send a single soldier to support Zhang Handan and others. Then, why would the mighty Western Chu Overlord allow Liu Bang to provoke his dignity so much?
The reason is simple, Xiang Yu cares about his head and tail.
Before Liu Bang launched an attack on the Three Qin Kings that Xiang Yu had divided, Tian Rong of the State of Qi took the lead in killing the Three Qi Kings of Xiang Yu's divisions, and at the same time merged with the Three Qis and established himself as king, openly opposing Xiang Yu. As the saying goes, "
Gun out of the head bird
！ "Although Liu Bang also provoked the majesty of Xiang Yu, after all, it was Tian Rong who first provoked Xiang Yu's dignity.
First come, first served
As far as the rules were concerned, Xiang Yu should also find Trouble for Tian Rong first.
Except for this layer."

"Tian Rong. Liu Bang's fief was Bashu, which was in the west, and even if Liu Bang captured Guanzhong, he would not be able to threaten Xiang Yu in a short period of time. However, Tian Rong was different, Qidi and Chu bordered, and the declaration of war by the State of Qi against the State of Chu meant friction that could occur at any time.
Therefore, Xiang Yu must first hit Tian Rong and let Liu Bang go.
Liu Bang pulled the "tiger skin" to make a coat
Liu Bang was able to occupy Xiang Yu's capital in one go, in addition to Xiang Yu fighting in Qidi and unable to take care of him, there was also an important reason that Liu Bang himself was also very strong, or Liu Bang looked very strong.
Using Han Xin's strategy, Liu Bang gave up repairing the Chu Chuan Road, but instead directly led his troops across the Qin Mountains and unexpectedly destroyed Zhang Handan's army. It should be noted that before the Battle of Julu, Zhang Handan alone fought all the rebels who dared to take the lead, and even if the Qin Dynasty had collapsed, Zhang Handan was still a terrible opponent for the rebel army.
However, this once invincible Qin general was completely defeated under Liu Bang's army, how could this not shock the princes and princes of all sizes? Coupled with the activities of a large number of people such as Tian Rong, Zhao Xie, Chen Yu, and Peng Yue, it had a great negative impact on Xiang Yu's prestige. In this way, Liu Bang naturally became a strong man recognized by various princes after Xiang Yu.
Liu Bang started from Guanzhong and gathered the five princes of Wulu, a total of 560,000 troops, and marched east to xiang Yu in the name of revenge for King Huai of Chu. In the War of Annihilation of Qin, no one has ever been able to lead such a huge corps into battle, so much so that in the "
Half a hundred and sixty thousand troops
Under the threat of intimidation, the princes along the road did not dare to block.
Xiang Yu was still fighting in Qidi, Liu Bang rushed from Guanzhong to Pengcheng with 560,000 people, and no one dared to stop him along the way, so it was not a matter of course that Pengcheng was occupied!
