At the end of the Qin dynasty, the people of the whole country held an uprising against the tyrannical rule of the Qin dynasty. The most famous leaders of peasant uprising army are Chen Sheng and Guangwu, followed by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. The story of Xiang Yu's cross the rubicon has been passed down to this day.
One year, 300,000 troops of the State of Qin surrounded the Julu of Zhao (now Pingxiang County, Hebei Province), and the King of Zhao asked Chu Huaiwang for help overnight. Chu Huaiwang was appointed as the general and Xiang Yu as the lieutenant, and led 200,000 troops to save Zhao. Who knows that Yi Song heard that Qin Jun was very powerful, so he stopped halfway and stopped moving forward.
When there was no food in the army, the soldiers cooked vegetables and beans for dinner, and he didn't care. He just throws his own party and eats and drinks. This can make Xiang Yu angry. He killed, became a "fake general" and led troops to save Zhao.
Xiang Yu sent his troops first, cutting off the road of grain transportation in Qin Jun; He personally led the main force across the Zhanghe River to rescue the giant deer. After all the Chu troops crossed the Zhanghe River, Xiang Yu gave the soldiers a full meal, each with three days' dry food. Then he ordered: the boat crossing the river (called the boat in ancient times) was sunk into the river, the frying pan (called the kettle in ancient times) was smashed into pieces, and the nearby houses were set on fire.
It's called cross the rubicon. Xiang Yu used this method to show his determination to make progress and win. The soldiers saw that the commander-in-chief was so determined that no one was going to go back alive again. Under the personal command of Xiang Yu, they fought a life-and-death battle with Qin Jun. After nine consecutive charges, Qin Jun was defeated.
Some leaders of Qin Jun were killed, some were captured and some surrendered. This battle not only solved the siege of Julu, but also beat Qin Jun out of the water. Two years later, the Qin Dynasty perished. After that, Xiang Yu became a real general, and many other armies were under his command, and his reputation spread all over the world.
