Chapter 379: Stalemate 02
After defeating Xiang Liang's army, Zhang Han believed that the military strength of Chu was not enough to be worried about, so he led his troops across the Yellow River (northward) to attack Zhao, and defeated the Zhao army. At this time, Zhao Xie was the king of Zhao, Chen Yu was the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Er was the prime minister, all of whom fled into Julu City. Zhang Han ordered Wang Li and She Jian to besiege Julu, while he himself stationed his troops south of Julu, building a road to transport food for the garrison. Chen Yu, as the commander-in-chief, led tens of thousands of soldiers stationed north of Julu, which was known as the Hebei army. The Chu army had already been defeated at Dingtao (by the Qin army), and King Huai of Chu was very frightened, so he moved his capital from Pengcheng to Xue, merging the armies of Xiang Yu and Lü Chen, and personally taking command. He appointed Lü Chen as the Minister of Works, and Lü Chen's father Lü Qing as the Chief Governor. He appointed Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wu'an, as the guardian of Dang County, and enfeoffed Fan Zeng
Song Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, with Xiang Yu as his deputy and Fan Zeng as a lower-ranking general. They were sent to rescue Zhao from the Qin army. The other generals were all under Song Yi's command, and he was known as the "Crown Prince General". The Chu army marched to Anyang and stayed there for 46 days without advancing further.
Xiang Yu suggested that they should quickly cross the Yellow River and attack the Qin army's outer lines, while the Zhao army responded from within. However, Song Yi disagreed, saying that it was not the right time to attack. He believed that if the Qin army won, their troops would be exhausted, and if they lost, the Chu army could take advantage of their weakness.
Song Yi then gave orders to his troops, saying that those who disobeyed him would be beheaded. He sent his son Song Xiang to assist the Qi king and personally escorted him to Wu Yan. At that time, it was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were suffering from hunger and cold.
Xiang Yu criticized Song Yi for not advancing further and for holding a grand feast while the soldiers were suffering. He believed that they should take advantage of the Qin army's strength and attack them together with the Zhao army. However, Song Yi refused to listen to him.
The next morning, Xiang Yu went to see Song Yi in his tent and beheaded him. He then announced to the troops that Song Yi had been plotting with the Qi king against Chu and that he had been ordered by the Chu king to kill him. The other generals were afraid and did not dare to object.
Xiang Yu was then appointed as the acting commander-in-chief, and he sent someone to pursue Song Xiang's son and kill him. He also sent a report to the Chu king, who then officially appointed Xiang Yu as the commander-in-chief.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhangshui south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops across Zhangshui to rescue Julu. The initial battle was a success. Then, Xiang Yu led the entire army across Zhangshui, ordering them to break their cauldrons and sink their boats, bringing only three days' worth of rations, showing his determination to win or die. With lightning speed, they rushed towards Julu, cutting off the Qin army's supply lines and surrounding Wang Li's troops. Xiang Yu's determination and bravery greatly inspired his officers and men. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's troops, with each soldier's morale boosted, becoming more courageous in battle. One man could resist ten Qin soldiers, and ten could resist a hundred. After nine fierce battles, they captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and either killed or caused to flee other Qin officers and men, thus collapsing the Qin army besieging Julu.
Unify the vassals
At that time, there were more than a dozen routes of troops coming to rescue Zhao Guo. However, they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and set up camps, not daring to fight against the Qin army. This time, hearing the earth-shaking shout of the Chu army, they crowded on the wall to watch. They saw the scene of the Chu army rushing into the Qin camp, and they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and asked them to come to the military camp for a meeting, they all crawled in on their knees, not even daring to raise their heads. Everyone praised Xiang Yu, saying: "The general's prestige is really unmatched, unprecedented since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." From then on, Xiang Yu became the leader of the anti-Qin army.
Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Changshan River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failure of Zhang Han made him lose faith in the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhi River. Then, he led a large army to defeat the Qin army at the Han Water. Zhang Han defended the Ci Yuan and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to report the emergency to the Qin court and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin. Sima Xin secretly returned to Ci Yuan and advised Zhang Han to make a good plan as soon as possible. Zhang Han hesitated between surrendering to Chu and retreating. Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead his army day and night to cross the Sanhu Pass (the ancient Zhi River crossing, now in southwestern Hebei Province), cutting off the Qin army's retreat route, and led his main force to defeat the Qin army heavily. Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender with his 200,000 troops to Xiang Yu at Yin Dian (now Anyang, Henan) in July 207 BC.
New Peaceful Submission
In November, Xiang Yu led his army to Xin'an and, fearing that the surrendered Qin troops would rebel, massacred all 200,000 of them in the south of Xin'an city (now Yima, Henan).
Historical evaluation of editing
The Battle of Julu was a great victory won in the peasant war at the end of Qin. It basically destroyed the main force of the Qin army, reversed the entire situation, laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle, and after this battle, the Qin dynasty was already in name only. And Xiang Yu defeated 200,000 with 60,000, such a disparity in the outcome made countless later generations full of curiosity and admiration for him.

After defeating Xiang Liang's army, Zhang Han believed that the military strength of Chu was not enough to be worried about, so he led his troops across the Yellow River (northward) to attack Zhao, and defeated the Zhao army. At this time, Zhao Xie was the king of Zhao, Chen Yu was the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Er was the prime minister, all of whom fled into Julu City. Zhang Han ordered Wang Li and She Jian to besiege Julu, while he himself stationed his troops south of Julu, building a road to transport food for the garrison. Chen Yu, as the commander-in-chief, led tens of thousands of soldiers stationed north of Julu, which was known as the Hebei army. The Chu army had already been defeated at Dingtao (by the Qin army), and King Huai of Chu was very frightened, so he moved his capital from Pengcheng to Xue, merging the armies of Xiang Yu and Lü Chen, and personally taking command. He appointed Lü Chen as the Minister of Works, and Lü Chen's father Lü Qing as the Chief Governor. He appointed Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wu'an, as the guardian of Dang County, and elevated Fan Zeng to be a noble.
Song Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army of Chenliu. Initially, Song Yi met with a Qi envoy named Gao Lingjun who was in the Chu army and told him that Wu Xinjun's army would definitely be defeated, which proved to be true after several days. The army had not yet gone into battle when they saw signs of defeat, which showed that he truly understood how to use troops.
Chu Huaiwang summoned Song Yi and consulted with him on military matters, and was very pleased with him. Therefore, he appointed Song Yi as the commander-in-chief, Xiang Yu as the general of Lu, Fan Zeng as the rear general, and led the army to rescue Zhao. All other generals were under Song Yi's command, and his army was called the "Qinguan Crown Army".
The Chu army marched to Anyang and stayed for 46 days without advancing further. Xiang Yu said to Song Yi, "I heard that the Qin army is besieging the king of Zhao in Julu, we should quickly lead our troops across the Yellow River, attack the outer walls of the Qin army, and respond to the inner walls of the Zhao army, which will definitely defeat the Qin army." Song Yi said, "Not so, hitting a cow's body with a whip cannot eliminate the lice hidden in its hair. Now that the Qin state is attacking the Zhao state, if they win, their army will be exhausted, and we can take advantage of their exhaustion; if they do not win, we will lead our large army to drum up and drive westward, which will definitely overthrow the Qin dynasty, so it's better to let Qin and Zhao fight each other first."
Song Yi then gave orders to the army saying, "Those who are as fierce as tigers, those who disobey like sheep, those who are greedy like wolves, and those who refuse to listen to commands shall be beheaded." He then sent his son Song Xiang to assist the king of Qi, personally escorting him to Wuyan, where he held a grand feast for the guests. At that time, it was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were freezing and starving.
Xiang Yu said, "At this critical moment when we should be joining forces to attack Qin, we have been staying here for a long time without advancing. This year's harvest is not good, the people are poor, and the soldiers can only eat sweet potatoes and beans, there is no stored grain in the army, but he holds a grand feast and does not lead his troops across the Yellow River to take food from Zhao state, and join forces with Zhao state to attack Qin state, saying 'take advantage of their exhaustion.' Relying on the strength of the Qin dynasty, attacking the newly established Zhao state will surely defeat Zhao. If Zhao is defeated, Qin will become even stronger, what opportunity will there be to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Qin army? Moreover, our Chu army has recently been defeated, and the king of Chu is anxious, concentrating the national troops and entrusting them to the commander-in-chief. The fate of the country depends on this one move. Now the commander-in-chief does not care for his soldiers, but seeks personal gain, he is not a minister who stabilizes the society."
Xiang Yu went to see Song Yi in the morning and beheaded him in his tent, then issued an order in the army saying, "Song Yi conspired with Qi state to rebel against Chu, the king of Chu secretly ordered me to kill him!" At this time, all the generals were afraid and did not dare to object. Everyone said, "The first to support the king of Chu was the general's family, and now it is also the general who killed the treacherous minister." They then supported Xiang Yu as the acting commander-in-chief.
Xiang Yu sent someone to pursue Song Yi's son, chasing him to Qi state and killing him. He also sent Huan Chu to report to the king of Chu. The king then ordered Xiang Yu to take over as commander-in-chief, with Dangyangjun and other generals under his command.
The Chu army marched to Julu and joined forces with the allied armies of the various states. Xiang Yu said, "Those who can bring the head of a Qin general will be rewarded with 1,000 pieces of gold and 10,000 acres of land." The soldiers were all eager to fight, and the allied armies of the various states did not dare to lag behind.
The Chu army attacked the Qin army, and the allied armies of the various states followed. The Qin army was defeated, and Xiang Yu captured the king of Qin. The king of Qin said, "I am willing to surrender, but I hope that my life will be spared." Xiang Yu said, "You have committed great crimes, how can you be spared?" He then ordered his soldiers to execute the king of Qin.
After the battle, Xiang Yu became famous throughout the land, and the allied armies of the various states all submitted to him. The king of Chu also praised Xiang Yu, saying that he was a great general who had saved the country.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhang River south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops across the river to rescue Julu.

The Battle of Julu was a huge victory won in the peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty. It basically destroyed the main force of the Qin army, reversed the entire situation, laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle, and after this battle, the Qin Dynasty was already in name only. And Xiang Yu defeated 200,000 with 60,000, such a disparity in the outcome made countless later generations full of curiosity and admiration for him.
After defeating Xiang Liang's army, Zhang Han believed that the military strength of Chu was not enough to be worried about. He led his troops across the Yellow River (northward) to attack Zhao, and defeated the Zhao army. At this time, Zhao Xie was the king of Zhao, Chen Yu was the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Er was the prime minister, all of whom fled into Julu City. Zhang Han ordered Wang Li and She Jian to besiege Julu, while he himself stationed his troops south of Julu, building a road to transport food for the garrison. Chen Yu, as the commander-in-chief, led tens of thousands of soldiers stationed north of Julu, which was known as the Hebei army. The Chu army had already been defeated at Dingtao (by the Qin army), and King Huai of Chu was very frightened, so he moved his capital from Pengcheng to Xue, merging the armies of Xiang Yu and Lü Chen, and personally taking command. He appointed Lü Chen as the Minister of Works, and Lü Chen's father Lü Qing as the Chief Governor. Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wu'an, was appointed as the guardian of Dang County, and Fan Zeng was enfeoffed as a marquis.
Song Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Xiang Yu as the general of Lu, and Fan Zeng as the rear general. The army marched to Anyang and stayed there for 46 days without advancing further. Xiang Yu suggested that they should quickly cross the Yellow River and attack the Qin army's outer lines while the Zhao army responded from within, but Song Yi disagreed. He believed that it was better to wait until the Qin army had defeated the Zhao army and then take advantage of their fatigue.
Song Yi gave orders to his troops, saying that those who disobeyed him would be beheaded. He sent his son, Song Xiang, to assist the king of Qi and personally escorted him to Wu Yan. At that time, it was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were suffering from hunger and cold. Xiang Yu criticized Song Yi for not advancing the army and instead holding a grand feast.
Xiang Yu killed Song Yi in his tent and announced to the troops that Song Yi had been plotting with the Qi state against Chu. The other generals did not dare to object, and they all praised Xiang Yu for eliminating a traitor. They then appointed Xiang Yu as the acting commander-in-chief.
Xiang Yu sent someone to pursue Song Xiang and killed him in the Qi state. He also sent someone to report to King Huai of Chu, who then officially appointed Xiang Yu as the commander-in-chief. The generals Dangyangjun and Pao were placed under Xiang Yu's command.
After killing Song Yi, Xiang Yu's reputation spread throughout the Chu state and was praised among the other vassal states. He sent Dangyangjun and Pao to lead 20,000 troops across the Yellow River to rescue Julu. They won some battles, and Chen Yu also requested troops to go out and fight.
Xiang Yu then led his entire army across the Yellow River, sank their boats, smashed their cooking pots, burned their dwellings, and only brought three days' worth of dry rations. This was meant to show that they were determined to fight to the death and not return.
At this time, they surrounded Wang Li and clashed with the Qin army several times, cutting off their supply lines and defeating them. They killed Su Jiao and captured Wang Li alive. The people of Julu refused to surrender and burned themselves to death.
The Chu army was now the strongest among the vassal states. There were over a dozen branches of troops from other vassal states that had come to rescue Julu, but none of them dared to indulge their own armies. When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, all the other generals watched from their camps.
The Chu soldiers were so fierce that they could take on ten enemy soldiers at once. The sound of their battle cries shook heaven and earth, and the other vassal states' armies were all terrified. At this time, they broke through the Qin army's lines, and Xiang Yu summoned the generals of the other vassal states.
They entered his camp, kneeling on the ground and not daring to lift their heads or look up at him. From then on, Xiang Yu became the commander-in-chief among the vassal states, and all the other vassal states obeyed him.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhangshui south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops across Zhangshui to rescue Julu. The initial battle was a success. Then, Xiang Yu led the entire army across Zhangshui, ordering them to break their cauldrons and sink their boats, bringing only three days' worth of rations, showing his determination to win or die. With lightning speed, they rushed towards Julu, cutting off the Qin army's supply lines and surrounding Wang Li's troops. Xiang Yu's determination and bravery greatly inspired his officers and men. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's troops, with each soldier's morale boosted, becoming more courageous in battle. One man could resist ten Qin soldiers, and ten could resist a hundred. After nine fierce battles, they captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and either killed or caused the other Qin officers and men to flee, thus collapsing the siege of Julu.
Unify the vassals
At that time, there were more than a dozen routes of troops coming to rescue Zhao Guo. However, they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and set up camps, not daring to fight against the Qin army. This time, hearing the earth-shaking shout of the Chu army, they crowded on the wall to watch. They saw the scene of the Chu army rushing into the Qin camp, and they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and asked them to come to the military camp for a meeting, they all crawled in on their knees, not even daring to raise their heads. Everyone praised Xiang Yu, saying: "The general's prestige is really unmatched, unprecedented since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." From then on, Xiang Yu became the leader of the various anti-Qin armies.
Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Changshan River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failure of Zhang Han made him lose faith in the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhang River. Then, he led a large army to defeat the Qin army at the Han Water. Zhang Han defended the thorny original and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to the Qin court to report the emergency and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin. Sima Xin secretly returned to the thorny original and advised Zhang Han to make a good plan as soon as possible. Zhang Han hesitated between surrendering to Chu and retreating. Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead his army day and night to cross the Sanhu Pass (the ancient Zhang River crossing, now in Hebei Province), cutting off the Qin army's retreat route, and led his main force to defeat the Qin army heavily. Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender to Xiang Yu with 200,000 troops at Yinren (now Anyang, Henan) in July 207 BC.

After defeating Xiang Liang's army, Zhang Han believed that the military strength of Chu was not enough to be worried about, so he led his troops across the Yellow River (northward) to attack Zhao, and defeated the Zhao army. At this time, Zhao Xie was the king of Zhao, Chen Yu was the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Er was the prime minister, all of whom fled into Julu City. Zhang Han ordered Wang Li and She Jian to besiege Julu, while he himself stationed his troops south of Julu, building a road to transport food for the garrison. Chen Yu, as the commander-in-chief, led tens of thousands of soldiers stationed north of Julu, which was known as the Hebei army. The Chu army had already been defeated at Dingtao (by the Qin army), and King Huai of Chu was very frightened, so he moved his capital from Pengcheng to Xue, merging the armies of Xiang Yu and Lü Chen, and personally taking command. He appointed Lü Chen as the Minister of Works, and Lü Chen's father Lü Qing as the Chief Governor. Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wu'an, was appointed as the guardian of Dang County, and Fan Zeng was appointed as the Marquis of Chengyang.
Song Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, with Xiang Yu as his deputy and Fan Zeng as a lower-ranking general. They were sent to rescue Zhao from the Qin army. The other generals were all under Song Yi's command, and he was known as the "Crown Prince General". The Chu army marched to Anyang and stayed there for 46 days without advancing further.
Xiang Yu suggested that they should quickly cross the Yellow River and attack the Qin army's outer lines, while the Zhao army responded from within. However, Song Yi disagreed, saying that it was not the right time to attack. He believed that if the Qin army won, their troops would be exhausted, and if they lost, the Chu army could take advantage of their weakness.
Song Yi then gave orders to his troops, saying that those who disobeyed him would be beheaded. He sent his son Song Xiang to assist the Qi king and personally escorted him to Wu Yan. At that time, it was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were suffering from hunger and cold.
Xiang Yu criticized Song Yi for not advancing further and for holding a grand feast while the soldiers were suffering. He believed that they should take advantage of the Qin army's strength and attack them together with the Zhao army. However, Song Yi refused to listen to him.
The next morning, Xiang Yu went to see Song Yi in his tent and beheaded him. He then announced to the troops that Song Yi had been plotting with the Qi king against Chu and that he had been ordered by the Chu king to kill him. The other generals were afraid and did not dare to object.
Xiang Yu was then appointed as the acting commander-in-chief, and he sent someone to pursue Song Xiang's son and kill him. He also sent a report to the Chu king, who then officially appointed Xiang Yu as the commander-in-chief.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhang River south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops across the river to rescue Julu. The initial battle was a success. Then, Xiang Yu led the entire army across the river, ordering them to break their cauldrons and sink their boats, bringing only three days' worth of rations, showing their determination to win or die. With lightning speed, they rushed towards Julu, cutting off the Qin army's supply lines and surrounding Wang Li's troops. Xiang Yu's determination and bravery greatly inspired his officers and men. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's troops, with each soldier's morale boosted, becoming more courageous in battle. One man could resist ten Qin soldiers, and ten could resist a hundred. After nine fierce battles, they captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and either killed or caused the other Qin generals and soldiers to flee, thus collapsing the siege of Julu.
Unify the vassals
At that time, there were more than a dozen routes of troops coming to rescue Zhao Guo. However, they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and set up camps, not daring to fight against the Qin army. This time, hearing the earth-shaking shout of the Chu army, they crowded on the wall to watch. They saw the scene of the Chu army rushing into the Qin camp, and they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and asked them to come to the military camp for a meeting, they all crawled in on their knees, not even daring to raise their heads. Everyone praised Xiang Yu, saying: "The general's prestige is really unmatched, unprecedented since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." From then on, Xiang Yu became the leader of the anti-Qin army.
Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Zhangshui River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failures of Zhang Han made him lose the trust of the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhi River. Then, he personally led a large army to defeat the Qin army at the Gan River. Zhang Han defended the thorny original place and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to report the emergency to the Qin court and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin. Sima Xin secretly returned to the thorny original place and advised Zhang Han to make a good plan as soon as possible. Zhang Han hesitated between surrendering to Chu and retreating his army. Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead his army day and night to cross the Sanhu Pass (the ancient Zhi River crossing, now in Hebei Province), cutting off the Qin army's retreat route, and personally led the main force to defeat the Qin army heavily. Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender with his 200,000 troops to Xiang Yu at Yinxiang (now Anyang, Henan) in July 207 BC.
New Peaceful Submission
In November, Xiang Yu led his army to Xin'an and, fearing that the surrendered Qin troops would rebel, massacred all 200,000 of them in the south of Xin'an city (now Yima, Henan).
Historical evaluation of editing
The Battle of Julu was a great victory won in the peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty. It basically destroyed the main force of the Qin army, reversed the entire situation, laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle, and after this battle, the Qin Dynasty was already in name only. And Xiang Yu defeated 200,000 with 60,000, such a disparity in the outcome made countless later generations full of curiosity and admiration for him.

Song Yi was appointed as the Supreme General, Xiang Yu as the Marquis of Lu, and Fan Zeng as the lowest-ranking general. The army set out to rescue Zhao. Other generals were under Song Yi's command, and they were called "Qingzi Crown Army". The Chu army marched to Anyang and stayed there for 46 days without advancing further.
Xiang Yu suggested to Song Yi that they should quickly lead their troops across the Yellow River, attack the Qin army from outside, and have the Zhao army respond from inside. However, Song Yi disagreed, saying that it was not the right time to attack. He believed that if the Qin army won, they would be exhausted, and if they lost, the Chu army could take advantage of their weakness.
Song Yi gave orders to his troops, saying that those who disobeyed him would be beheaded. He then sent his son Song Xiang to assist the King of Qi and personally escorted him to Wu Yan. At that time, it was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were hungry and freezing.
Xiang Yu criticized Song Yi for not advancing and for holding a grand feast while the soldiers were suffering. He believed that they should take advantage of the Qin army's exhaustion after attacking Zhao. However, Song Yi disagreed, saying that the Qin army would be too strong if they defeated Zhao.
The next morning, Xiang Yu went to see Song Yi in his tent and beheaded him. He then announced to the troops that Song Yi had been plotting with Qi against Chu and that he had been ordered by the King of Chu to kill him. The other generals were afraid and did not dare to object.
Xiang Yu was then appointed as the acting Supreme General, and he sent someone to pursue Song Xiang, who was killed in Qi. He also sent a report to the King of Chu, who then officially appointed Xiang Yu as the Supreme General.
After killing Song Yi, Xiang Yu's reputation spread throughout Chu, and he became famous among the nobles. He then sent two generals, Dangyang Jun and Pu Jiangjun, with 20,000 troops to cross the Yellow River and rescue Julu. They won some battles, and Chen Yu asked for more troops.
Xiang Yu led his entire army across the river, sank their boats, smashed their cooking pots, burned their camps, and only brought three days' worth of dry rations. He intended to fight to the death and not retreat.
The Chu army then surrounded Wang Li and clashed with the Qin army several times, cutting off their supply lines and defeating them. They killed Su Jiao and captured Wang Li. However, Wang Li refused to surrender and burned himself to death.
At that time, the Chu army was the strongest among the allied forces. The other armies were afraid to deploy their troops freely. When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, the other generals watched from their camps. The Chu soldiers were so fierce that they could take on ten enemy soldiers at once. Their battle cry shook the heavens, and the other armies were terrified.
The Chu army then broke through the Qin lines, and Xiang Yu summoned the leaders of the allied forces. They entered his camp, knelt down, and did not dare to look up. From then on, Xiang Yu became the Supreme General among the nobles, and they all obeyed him.

He appointed Lü Chen as the Minister of Works, and Lü Chen's father Lü Qing as the Chief Judge. Liu Bang, the Marquis of Wu'an, was appointed as the guardian of Dang County. The Battle of Julu was a huge victory won in the peasant war at the end of the Qin Dynasty. It basically destroyed the main force of the Qin army, reversed the entire situation, and laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle. After this battle, the Qin Dynasty was already in name only. Xiang Yu's victory with 60,000 troops over 200,000 troops was a result that made countless later generations full of wonder and admiration.

After defeating Xiang Liang's army, Zhang Han believed that the military strength of Chu was not enough to be worried about, so he led his troops across the Yellow River (northward) to attack Zhao, and defeated the Zhao army. At this time, Zhao Xie was the king of Zhao, Chen Yu was the commander-in-chief, and Zhang Er was the prime minister, all of whom fled into Julu City. Zhang Han ordered Wang Li and She Jian to besiege Julu, while he himself stationed his troops south of Julu, building a road to transport food for the garrison. Chen Yu, as the commander-in-chief, led tens of thousands of soldiers stationed north of Julu, which was known as the Hebei army. The Chu army had already been defeated at Dingtao (by the Qin army), and King Huai of Chu was very frightened, so he moved his capital from Pengcheng to Xue, merging the armies of Xiang Yu and Lü Chen, and personally taking command.

Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Zhangshui River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failure of Zhang Han made him lose faith in the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhang River. Then, he personally led a large army to defeat the Qin army at the Han Water. Zhang Han defended the thorny original and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to the Qin court to report the emergency and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin. Sima Xin secretly returned to the thorny original and advised Zhang Han to make a good plan as soon as possible. Zhang Han hesitated between surrendering to Chu and retreating. Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead his army day and night to cross the Sanhu Pass (the ancient Zhang River crossing, now in southwestern Hebei Province), cutting off the Qin army's retreat route, and personally led the main force to defeat the Qin army heavily. Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender to Xiang Yu with his 200,000 troops at Yinxiang (now Anyang, Henan) in July 207 BC.

The Battle of Julu was a great victory won by the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty. It basically destroyed the main force of the Qin army, reversed the entire war situation, and laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle. After this battle, the Qin Dynasty was already in name only. And Xiang Yu defeated 200,000 with 60,000, which should have been a joint effort to attack Qin, but we stayed behind and did not advance. This year's harvest is not good, the people are poor, and the soldiers can only eat yams and beans, there is no stored grain in the army, he had a big feast for his guests, and refused to lead his troops across the Yellow River to take food from Zhao State, and join forces with Zhao State to attack Qin State, but said "take advantage of their fatigue". With the prosperity of Qin Dynasty, attacking the newly established Zhao State will surely defeat Zhao. If Zhao is destroyed, Qin will become even stronger, what chance is there to take advantage of the fatigue of the Qin army? Moreover, our Chu army has recently been defeated, and King Huai of Chu is anxious, concentrating the national army and entrusting it to the general-in-chief. The fate of the country depends on this move. Now the general-in-chief does not care about his soldiers, but seeks personal gain, he is not a minister who stabilizes the society. Xiang Yu went to see General Song Yi in the morning, beheaded him in his tent, and issued an order in the army saying: "Song Yi conspired with Qi State to rebel against Chu, King Huai of Chu secretly ordered me to kill him!" At this time, all the generals were intimidated and dared not to dissent. Everyone said: "The first to support King Huai of Chu was General Xiang Yu's family, now it is also General Xiang Yu who killed the treacherous minister." So they supported Xiang Yu as the acting general-in-chief. Xiang Yu sent someone to chase Song Yi's son, chased him to Qi State, and killed him. He also sent Huan Chu to report to King Huai of Chu. King Huai then ordered Xiang Yu to take over as general-in-chief, and Dangyang Jun and Pu Jiangjun were all under Xiang Yu's command. After Xiang Yu killed Song Yi, his reputation spread throughout Chu State, and he was also praised among the vassals. He then sent Dangyang Jun and Pu Jiangjun to lead 20,000 Chu soldiers across the Yellow River to rescue Julu. The battle won some victories, Chen Yu asked for troops to fight again. Xiang Yu led his army across the Yellow River, sank the boats into the river, smashed the cooking pots, burned the dwellings, only brought three days' dry rations, and showed determination to die in battle, not intending to return. At this time, he surrounded Wang Li, encountered the Qin army, fought many battles, cut off their supply lines, defeated them, killed Su Jiao, and captured Wang Li alive. Zhen Yan refused to surrender to the Chu army and burned himself to death. At this time, the Chu army was the strongest among the vassals' armies. There were more than a dozen branches of the vassals' armies rescuing Julu in the city, none of them dared to indulge their own troops. When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, all the generals watched from the camp gates. Not a single Chu soldier was not fighting with ten times his strength, the voice of the Chu soldiers shook heaven and earth, and no vassal army did not fear. At this time, they broke through the Qin army, Xiang Yu summoned the leaders of the vassals' armies, they entered the gate, all knelt on the ground and moved forward, not daring to raise their heads to look up. From then on, Xiang Yu became the general-in-chief among the vassals, and all the vassals obeyed him.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhangshui south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops to cross Zhangshui River, rescue Julu, and win the first battle. Then, Xiang Yu led the entire army across Zhangshui River, ordering all soldiers to break their cauldrons and sink their boats, bringing only three days' worth of rations, showing a determination to die if they were not victorious, and rushing straight to Julu with lightning speed, cutting off the Qin army's supply lines and surrounding Wang Li's troops. Xiang Yu's determination and bravery greatly inspired his soldiers. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's troops, and every soldier was invigorated, becoming more courageous in battle. One person could resist ten Qin soldiers, and ten people could resist a hundred. After nine fierce battles, they captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and other Qin generals and soldiers were either killed or fled. The Qin army surrounding Julu collapsed.
Unify the vassals
At that time, there were more than a dozen routes of troops coming to rescue Zhao Guo. However, they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and set up camps, not daring to fight against the Qin army. This time, hearing the earth-shaking shout of the Chu army, they crowded on the wall to watch. They saw the scene of the Chu army rushing into the Qin camp, and were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and asked them to come to the military camp for a meeting, they all crawled in on their knees, not even daring to raise their heads. Everyone praised Xiang Yu, saying: "The general's prestige is really unmatched, unprecedented since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." From then on, Xiang Yu became the leader of the anti-Qin army.
Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Zhangshui River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failure of Zhang Han made him lose faith in the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhi River. Then, he led his main force to defeat the Qin army at the Han Water. Zhang Han defended the Ci Yuan and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to report the emergency to the Qin court and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin. Sima Xin secretly returned to Ci Yuan and advised Zhang Han to make a good plan as soon as possible. Zhang Han hesitated between surrendering to Chu and retreating. Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead his army day and night to cross the Sanhu Pass (the ancient Zhi River crossing, now in southwestern Hebei Province), cutting off the Qin army's retreat route, and led his main force to defeat the Qin army heavily. Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender with his 200,000 troops to Xiang Yu at the south of Yin Du (now Anyang, Henan Province) in July 207 BC.

The Battle of Julu was a great victory won by the peasant uprising at the end of Qin. It basically destroyed the main force of the Qin army, reversed the entire situation, and laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle. After this battle, the Qin Dynasty was already in name only.
Xiang Yu commanded the troops of Dang County. At first, Song Yi met with the Qi state envoy, Gaoling Jun Xiang, who was in the Chu army. He saw King Chu and said: "Song Yi is sure that Wu Xinjun's army will be defeated. After a few days, he failed. The army had not yet gone to war, but they saw the signs of defeat. This can be said to be a good understanding of the use of troops." King Hui of Chu summoned Song Yi and discussed matters with him. He liked him very much. Therefore, he appointed him as the Supreme General, Xiang Yu as the Marquis of Ru, as the second general, Fan Zeng as the third general, and led the army to rescue Zhao.
Other generals were all under Song Yi's command, known as the "Qingzi Crown Army". The Chu army marched to Anyang and stayed for 46 days without advancing. Xiang Yu said to Song Yi: "I heard that the Qin army is besieging the King of Zhao in Julu. We should quickly lead our troops across the Yellow River, and the Chu army will attack their outer perimeter. The Zhao army will respond from within, and we must be able to defeat the Qin army." Song Yi said: "Not so, hitting a cow's body with flies cannot eliminate the lice hidden in its hair. Now that the Qin state is attacking the Zhao state, if they win, their army will definitely be exhausted. We can take advantage of their exhaustion; if they don't win, we will lead our large army to drum and drive westward, and we must overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, it's better to let Qin and Zhao fight each other first."
He gave orders to the army saying: "Those who are as fierce as tigers, those who disobey like sheep, those who are greedy like wolves, and those who refuse to listen to commands will be beheaded." He then sent his son Song Xiang to assist King Qi, personally sending him to Wuyan. At that time, the weather was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were freezing and starving.
Xiang Yu said: "At this time when we should join forces to attack Qin, we have been staying here for a long time without advancing. This year's harvest is not good, the people are poor, and the soldiers can only eat taro and beans. There is no stored grain in the army, but he is having a big feast for guests. He does not lead his troops to cross the Yellow River to take food from Zhao state, and join forces with Zhao state to attack Qin state. He says 'take advantage of their exhaustion.' Relying on the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, attacking the newly established Zhao state will surely break Zhao. If Zhao is broken, Qin will become even stronger. What opportunity is there to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Qin army? Moreover, our Chu army has recently been defeated, and King Chu is uneasy in his seat. The national security depends on this one move.
Now that the Supreme General does not care about the soldiers, but instead seeks personal gain, he is not a minister who stabilizes the country." Xiang Yu went to see Song Yi early in the morning and beheaded him in his tent. He issued an order in the army saying: "Song Yi conspired with the Qi state to rebel against Chu. The King of Chu secretly ordered me to kill him!" At this time, all the generals were afraid and did not dare to object.
Everyone said: "The first to support the King of Chu was the general's family. Now that he has been beheaded by Xiang Yu, it is reasonable." The Chu army marched forward, and when they encountered the Qin army, they fought several battles, cut off their supply lines, defeated them, killed Su Jiao, and captured Wang Li. Ziyuan refused to surrender to the Chu army and burned himself to death.
At this time, the Chu army was the strongest among the allied armies. There were more than a dozen branches of the allied army that came to rescue Julu, but none dared to indulge their own army. When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, all the generals watched from the camp gates. Not a single Chu soldier was not worth ten, and the sound of the Chu army's battle cry shook the sky and earth. None of the allied armies were not afraid.
At this time, they broke through the Qin army, and Xiang Yu summoned the generals of the allied army. They entered the gate, all kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads to look up. From then on, Xiang Yu became the Supreme General among the allied armies, and all the allied armies listened to him.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhang River south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops across the river to rescue Julu. The initial battle was a success. Then, Xiang Yu led the entire army across the river, ordering them to break their cauldrons and sink their boats, bringing only three days' worth of rations, showing his determination to win or die. With lightning speed, they rushed towards Julu, cutting off the Qin army's supply lines and surrounding Wang Li's troops. Xiang Yu's determination and bravery greatly inspired his officers and men. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's troops, with each soldier's morale boosted, becoming more courageous in battle. One man could resist ten Qin soldiers, and ten could resist a hundred. After nine fierce battles, they captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and either killed or caused the other Qin officers and men to flee, thus collapsing the siege of Julu.
Unify the vassals
At that time, there were more than a dozen routes of troops coming to rescue Zhao Guo. However, they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and set up camps, not daring to fight against the Qin army. This time, hearing the earth-shaking shout of the Chu army, they crowded on the wall to watch. They saw the scene of the Chu army rushing into the Qin camp, and were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and asked them to come to the military camp for a meeting, they all crawled in on their knees, not even daring to raise their heads. Everyone praised Xiang Yu, saying: "The general's prestige is really unmatched, unprecedented since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." From then on, Xiang Yu became the leader of the anti-Qin army.
Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Zhangshui River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failure of Zhang Han made him lose faith in the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhi River. Then, he led his main force to defeat the Qin army at the Han Water. Zhang Han defended the thorny original place and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to report the emergency to the Qin court and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin. Sima Xin secretly returned to the thorny original place and advised Zhang Han to make a good plan as soon as possible. Zhang Han hesitated between surrendering to Chu and retreating his army. Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead his army day and night to cross the Sanhu Pass (the ancient Zhi River ferry, now in southwestern Hebei Province), cut off the Qin army's retreat route, and led his main force to defeat the Qin army heavily. Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender with his 200,000 troops to Xiang Yu at Yin Dian (now Anyang, Henan) in July 207 BC.

After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Zhangshui River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failure of Zhang Han made him lose faith in the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhi River. Then, he led his main force to defeat the Qin army at the Gan River. Zhang Han defended the thorny original and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to report the emergency to the Qin court and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin.

Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender with his 200,000 troops to Xiang Yu at Yinquan (now Anyang, Henan) in July 207 BC.
Ready to come back (with determination). At this time, he surrounded Wang Li and met with the Qin army, fought many battles, cut off their grain supply lines, defeated them, killed Su Jiao, and captured Wang Li. Xiang Yu refused to surrender to the Chu army and burned himself to death. At that time, the Chu army was the strongest among the vassal states' armies. There were more than ten branches of the vassal states' armies rescuing Julu, but none dared to let their troops loose. When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, all the generals watched from the camp gates. Not a single Chu soldier was not worth ten, the Chu army's battle cry shook heaven and earth, and no vassal state army was not terrified. At this time, they broke through the Qin army, Xiang Yu summoned the generals of the vassal states' armies, they entered the gate, all knelt on the ground and proceeded, not daring to raise their heads to look up. From then on, Xiang Yu became the supreme general among the vassal states, and all the vassal states listened to him.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhang River south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops across the river to rescue Julu. The initial battle was a success. Then, Xiang Yu led the entire army across the river, ordering them to break their cauldrons and sink their boats, bringing only three days' worth of rations, showing their determination to win or die. With lightning speed, they rushed towards Julu, cutting off the Qin army's supply lines and surrounding Wang Li's troops. Xiang Yu's determination and bravery greatly inspired his officers and men. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's troops, with each soldier's morale boosted, becoming more courageous in battle. One man could resist ten Qin soldiers, and ten could resist a hundred. After nine fierce battles, they captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and either killed or caused the other Qin officers and men to flee, thus collapsing the siege of Julu.
Unify the vassals
At that time, there were more than a dozen routes of troops coming to rescue Zhao Guo. However, they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and set up camps, not daring to fight against the Qin army. This time, hearing the earth-shaking shout of the Chu army, they crowded on the wall to watch. They saw the scene of the Chu army rushing into the Qin camp, and they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and asked them to come to the military camp for a meeting, they all crawled in on their knees, not even daring to raise their heads. Everyone praised Xiang Yu, saying: "The general's prestige is really unmatched, unprecedented since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." From then on, Xiang Yu became the leader of the anti-Qin army.
Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Zhangshui River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.

Xiang Yu suggested to Song Yi that they should quickly lead their troops across the Yellow River to rescue Zhao, but Song Yi disagreed. He believed that the Qin army would be exhausted after attacking Zhao, and that they could take advantage of this exhaustion to defeat them. If the Qin army was unable to defeat Zhao, then they could lead a large army to attack Qin directly.
Song Yi gave orders to his troops, saying: "Those who disobey orders will be beheaded." He then sent his son Song Xiang to assist the King of Qi, and personally escorted him to Wu Yan. At that time, it was cold and rainy, and the soldiers were suffering from hunger and cold.
Xiang Yu criticized Song Yi for not advancing quickly enough, saying: "We should be working together to attack Qin, but instead we are staying here for a long time without advancing. This year's harvest is poor, and the people are suffering. Our soldiers can only eat sweet potatoes and beans, and there is no stored grain in the army. You are holding a grand feast, but you won't lead your troops across the Yellow River to take food from Zhao and work together with them to attack Qin."
Xiang Yu then killed Song Yi in his tent, and announced to the army that Song Yi was plotting with Qi against Chu. The other generals were afraid and did not dare to disagree.
After Xiang Yu took over as commander-in-chief, he sent troops to pursue Song Xiang's son, who had fled to Qi, and killed him. He then sent a report to King Huai of Chu, who appointed Xiang Yu as the new commander-in-chief.
Xiang Yu led his troops across the Yellow River to rescue Julu, where they won several victories. Chen Yu also requested troops to join the battle. Xiang Yu then led all his troops across the river, sank their boats, smashed their cooking pots, and burned their dwellings, leaving only three days' worth of dry rations.
They surrounded Wang Li and clashed with the Qin army several times, cutting off their supply lines and defeating them. They killed Su Jiao and captured Wang Li alive. The Qin general, Zhi, refused to surrender and burned himself to death.
At this time, the Chu army was the strongest among all the allied forces. There were over a dozen other armies besieging Julu, but none of them dared to indulge their troops. When the Chu army attacked the Qin army, all the other generals watched from their camps.
The Chu soldiers were so brave that they could take on ten enemy soldiers at once. Their battle cry shook the heavens and earth, and the other allied forces were terrified. The Qin army was defeated, and Xiang Yu summoned the leaders of the other armies to his tent. They all knelt down and crawled forward, not daring to lift their heads.
From then on, Xiang Yu became the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, and all the other generals obeyed him.
Battle of Julu
In December 207 BC, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to Zhangshui south of Julu County and immediately dispatched Ying Bu and Pu General to lead 20,000 troops to cross Zhangshui River, rescue Julu, and win the first battle. Then, Xiang Yu led the whole army across Zhangshui River, ordering the whole army to break their cauldrons and sink their boats, only bringing three days' worth of rations, showing their determination to die if they were not victorious, and rushing straight to Julu with lightning speed, cutting off the Qin army's supply lines and surrounding Wang Li's troops. Xiang Yu's determination and bravery greatly inspired his officers and soldiers. The Chu army surrounded Wang Li's troops, and every soldier was in high spirits, becoming more courageous as they fought on. One person could resist ten Qin soldiers, and ten people could resist a hundred. After nine fierce battles, they captured Wang Li alive, killed the Qin general Su Jiao, and other Qin generals and soldiers were either killed or fled, and the Qin army surrounding Julu was thus defeated.
Unify the vassals
At that time, there were more than a dozen routes of troops coming to rescue Zhao Guo. However, they were afraid of the strength of the Qin army and set up camps, not daring to fight against the Qin army. This time, hearing the earth-shaking shout of the Chu army, they crowded on the wall to watch. They saw the scene of the Chu army rushing into the Qin camp, and they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and held their breath. When Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army and asked them to come to the military camp for a meeting, they all crawled in on their knees, not even daring to raise their heads. Everyone praised Xiang Yu, saying: "The general's prestige is really unmatched, there has never been a second one since ancient times. We are willing to follow your command." From then on, Xiang Yu actually became the leader of the various anti-Qin armies.
Battle of Thorny Ground
After the relief of Julu, Zhang Han's army retreated to Jiuyuan (south of Julu), Xiang Yu's army stationed south of Changshan River, and the two armies confronted each other. The Qin army broke their cauldrons and sank their boats.
The continuous failure of Zhang Han made him lose faith in the Qin court. Xiang Yu seized the opportunity and sent General Pu to attack the Qin army on the south bank of the Zhi River. Then, he personally led a large army to defeat the Qin army at the Han Water. Zhang Han defended the thorny original and confronted Xiang Yu, sending his general Sima Xin to the Qin court to report the emergency and ask for reinforcements. At that time, Zhao Gao was in power in the Qin court, suspicious of generals and ministers, and wanted to kill Sima Xin. Sima Xin secretly returned to the thorny original and advised Zhang Han to make a good plan as soon as possible. Zhang Han hesitated between surrendering to Chu and retreating. Xiang Yu sent General Pu to lead his army day and night to cross the Sanhu Pass (the ancient Zhi River crossing, now in southwestern Hebei Province), cutting off the Qin army's retreat route, and personally led the main force to defeat the Qin army heavily. Under Xiang Yu's heavy attack, Zhang Han had no way out and had to surrender with his 200,000 troops to Xiang Yu at Yin Dian (now Anyang, Henan) in July 207 BC.
