Chapter 21

"Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin" records: "Pei Gong general tens of thousands of people have massacred Wuguan..." Judging from this brief record, Liu Bang issued an order to massacre the city in Wuguan. It was probably because Liu Bang was seriously injured when he attacked Wuguan.

He was so frustrated that he massacred the city to vent his anger.

After Wuguan, there is also Yaoguan. The so-called passes are mostly located in dangerous places where "one man is in charge of the pass and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it", and the same is true for Yaoguan. Liu Bang had no choice but to bite the bullet and send troops.

Zhang Liang quickly stopped him: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Pei. The Qin army is still very strong and cannot be underestimated. It is better to defeat them wisely than to attack by force. I heard that the house of the guard at Yaoguan originally sold meat. The merchants value profit but ignore righteousness.

It can be used. Pei Gong, please don't move yet. Send a group of people to pretend to be 50,000 yuan.

With a large number of people, slowly march towards Yaoguan with great fanfare, and at the same time set up a few more suspicious soldiers in the mountains and forests. Then you ask Li Shiqi and Lu Jiaduo to bring gold and silver treasures to bribe the Yaoguan guard. In this way, there will be suspicious soldiers.

Threats and the temptation of treasure should be able to achieve good results."

Liu Bang was convinced of Zhang Liang's suggestion and immediately followed it. Lu Jia, like Li Shiqi, was also an eloquent and diplomatic person, earlier than Liu Bang. When the two arrived at Yaoguan, they persuaded him eloquently.

As expected, the guard general went on the road, expressed his heart to heart with Li Shiqi and Lu Jia, expressed his willingness to surrender to Chu, and followed Liu Bang to attack Xianyang. After Liu Bang got the good news, he was about to accept the surrender of the Yaoguan guard general. Zhang

At this time, Liang stood up and stopped him: "Pei Gong, don't be too happy too early. The general at Yaguan is willing to surrender. This is just his personal wish. I think most of his soldiers are unwilling to surrender with him. If the soldiers

They refused, so we rushed to take over rashly, fearing that something unexpected would happen. Why not take advantage of the moment when the soldiers at Aoguan are distracted and the general loses his vigilance, and we attack immediately, and we will surely win a complete victory."

Liu Bang listened to Zhang Liang's advice, and it turned out that it was effortless.

Now that the Aoguan pass has been lowered, Xianyang City is naturally helpless to resist.

After Liu Bang conquered Yaoguan, he rushed to Xianyang ahead of other princes and garrisoned troops in Bashang (now east of Xi'an City, so named because it was on the plateau to the west of Ba River). He sent people to write a letter to Prince Qin Ying to ensure his personal safety.

As a condition, Ziying was asked to surrender.

Prince Qin Ying, who had just sat on the throne for forty-six days, looked around and saw that there were no generals inside and no soldiers outside to save the nation. After sighing, he rode on a white horse chariot, tied himself out of the city, and surrendered to Liu Bang with the emperor's seal.

.This is the first time in the history of Qin State.

It's the last time.

Many people in Liu Bang's army deeply hated Qin and suggested that Liu Bang kill Ziying. Liu Bang insisted on showing his tolerance and kindness, wanted to show his style as a benevolent and righteous teacher, and wanted to appease the Qin people's emotions. Therefore, he tried his best to

After a discussion, everyone accepted Ziying's surrender and handed Ziying over to his subordinates to take care of him. He led his army directly into Xianyang City.

Since Qin Shihuang proclaimed himself emperor, the Qin Dynasty has experienced two emperors and one king, making it the shortest-lived feudal unified dynasty in Chinese history. When Ziying came and surrendered, Qin's rule was completely over, and a new dynasty was about to come.

Xianyang City is the gathering place of Qin's wealth. As soon as Liu Bangjun entered the city, he was dazzled by the endless wealth. Everyone fell into madness and started greedy robbery and plunder. Only from Pei

Xiao He was different. Others robbed gold, silver, jewels, and women. What Xiao He robbed were the legal books, household registrations, and maps in the Prime Minister's Palace and the Yushi Palace of Qin. These precious information would be used by Liu Bang when he fought against Xiang Yu and governed the country in the future.

Of great use.

Liu Bang did not stop the crazy robbery of his subordinates, and could not stop it. Even he himself became crazy when he entered a palace for the first time in his life.

Xiancheng Jun Fan Kuai, a general under Liu Bang who was a dog-slaughterer, was often misunderstood by later generations as a reckless man because of his rough and bravery. Few people knew his wisdom hidden under the appearance of a reckless man. Regarding Liu Bang's depravity, Fan Kuai looked at Liu Bang's depravity.

in eyes, anxious

In his heart, he urged Liu Bang to give up this extravagant life and immediately leave the palace to take charge of the work. Zhang Liang also advised Liu Bang to focus on the overall situation, not to be carried away by the temporary comfort, and not to forget the threat of the grumpy Xiang Yu, and quickly withdraw from the palace.

superior.

After listening to Fan Kuai and Zhang Liang's persuasion, Liu Bang pondered for a long time. On one side was the fairy-like life in front of him, but after enjoying it, there would be bad luck; on the other side was the unpredictable future, which could be rich and powerful, or it could be destroyed quickly. How?

Choice? In the end, Liu Bang still placed his hope in the future and walked out of the palace with some reluctance. He sealed up all the gold and silver treasures in the palace and did not dare to hide them privately. He planned to wait for the princes to gather before making any plans.

The soldiers returned to Bashang.

Although he could not officially be the master of Xianyang for the time being, Liu Bang did not give up just yet. As a temporary occupier, he summoned the landlords, powerful men, and village elders who had the final say in the counties in Guanzhong to discuss important matters.

At the meeting, Liu Bang said loudly: "Fathers,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Fellow folks, you have suffered from the severe punishments of the Qin Dynasty for too long! You all know the harsh punishments of the Qin Dynasty. Anyone who slanders the court and the emperor will be punished; even two acquaintances who meet and whisper may be executed.

Head. Now that Xianyang is occupied by me, the Qin Dynasty has been destroyed. I raise an army.

At that time, I made an appointment with the princes. Whoever captures Xianyang first will be the king of Guanzhong. I was lucky enough to take the lead, so Guanzhong will be my territory in the future. I am not as domineering as the Qin Dynasty. Today, I

I agree with you that I have only three laws: murderers shall be punished with death.

Those who hurt others will be sentenced according to the severity of the circumstances; those who steal and rob will be sentenced according to the severity of the circumstances. These are all in accordance with the original regulations of the Qin Dynasty. The rest, all previous laws stipulated by the Qin Dynasty, are abolished! All official positions remain unchanged and will be fulfilled immediately

Responsibilities, people please live and work in peace and contentment,

Don't panic. In short, I am here to eliminate harm for the elders, not to infringe on your interests, so please don't be afraid! I have withdrawn the army to Bashang now. When the princes from all walks of life arrive, we will make a plan together

Follow the rules, and then I will lead everyone to build Guanzhong!"

After explaining to the county officials, Liu Bang was afraid that these officials would not tell the people below for personal gain, and his attempt to build a mass base would be in vain, so he immediately sent people to follow the local officials to inspect the fields and publicize them to the people.

.

When they heard that Liu Bang had exempted him from severe punishments and levied exorbitant taxes, the people in Guanzhong cheered for joy and went to Bashang to reward the army with singing and dancing.

If you want to do something good, you must do it to the end, otherwise it is better not to do it. Liu Bang was also a righteous man in the countryside. Now when he saw the people coming to give gifts, he resolutely refused: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I appreciate your good intentions.

! Our army has sufficient food and grass, and there is no shortage of it. We don’t want you to waste money. Everyone, please take your things back quickly!”

Seeing that Liu Bang was really determined not to accept gifts, the people felt that good times had finally come. Now the people were worried about a problem: It was so easy for everyone to find such a good king. When the princes came, they must not let him be

Our King! As a result, thousands of households prayed every day, hoping that Liu Bang could gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

Liu Bang wanted to be the king in Guanzhong, and the people also supported him. However, Liu Bang had big eyes and a small belly, so it didn't matter. He wanted to be the king of Guanzhong, but it had to wait and see whether Xiang Yu would agree. And Xiang Yu's opinion was only four words: wishful thinking!

It can be said that the rest of the princes, including Xiang Yu, had these four words in their minds: wishful thinking!
