Xiang Yan Xia Ren Xiang, a famous general of Chu State at the end of the Warring States Period, was the father of Xiang Liang, a famous anti-Qin warrior, and the grandfather of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu State. Li Xin, the general of the Qin Dynasty, was defeated. In 224 BC, Wang Jian, the general of the State of Qin, defeated the Chu army. The following year, he was defeated and died. Speaking of suicide. Xiang Yan was born, according to historical records, from generation to generation was General Chu, and his family background was sealed in Guo Xiang, and he was the ancestor of Xiang family in the world. Xiang is a fief, so his surname is Xiang, and he is a descendant of the eldest son of the Duke of Zhou.

Home in Chu, generations are generals. This superpower, which has dominated for hundreds of years since the Western Zhou Dynasty, became a shivering pig under Qin slaves in the Warring States Period. It was not until the appearance of Xiang Yan that all this was broken. In 225 BC, the cruel king of Qin destroyed Korea, Zhao, Yan and Wei. On the territory of China, only Qi in the east and Chu in the south are shivering. Wang Zheng's sharp eyes turned to Chu. He sent Li Xin, a famous young soldier of Qin State and commander-in-chief of Chu State.

Defeated the 200,000 troops of Qin for the first time.

In the battle to destroy Yan, Li Xin led thousands of soldiers to pursue the poor soldiers bravely, defeated the main force of Dan, and forced him to kill Taizi Dan for peace, making him famous all over the world. Li Xin's assistant Meng Tian later repelled the Huns. Li Xin and Meng Tian led 200,000 Red Army soldiers into the territory of Chu in two ways. Soon, they defeated the Chu army one after another and captured important towns such as Pingyu. At that time, people were frightened and thought that the end was coming.

Xiang Yan, in a crisis, commanded the army to attack the State of Qin. He was keenly aware of Qin Jun's fatal weakness: Meng Tian and Li Xin were young and frivolous, and they could not occupy a large territory of Chu with only 200,000 troops. As long as their momentum is exhausted and they cover, they can win. So, while preparing for the war, Xiang Yan left the first-tier cities to fend for themselves. Li Xin went deep into Chu and fought for a long time. Although he won more and lost less, his troops were getting tired. So I turned around and retreated, ready to see Montaigne, have a rest, and then make plans.

Xiang Yan is waiting for this moment. He immediately with a great army, followed by the retreat of Qin Jun, courageously pursue! After running for three days and nights, I finally caught up with Qin Jun at the border. Li Xin put down the barriers and made a final effort. Xiang Yan stormed and destroyed two camps in Li Xin, killing seven captains. More than 100,000 Red Army troops led by Li Xin lost more than half. Li Xin took out his own guards, and then retreated back to the border with the support of Meng Tian. This was Qin Jun's last defeat during the Warring States Period. This can also be regarded as the only time that the Chu army defeated Qin Jun during the Warring States Period.

Who is better than Wang Jian VS Xiang Yan?

For Xiang Yan, the battle of national life and death has just begun. The defeat of 200,000 troops was not enough to shake the foundation of Qin. More fierce fighting is yet to come. Sure enough, Qin changed into an experienced veteran Wang Jian. Before, he told the king of Qin that it would take at least 600,000 troops to destroy Chu, and it was not enough for Li Xin to take 200,000 troops. In 224 BC, the king of Qin allocated 600,000 military forces from his own country to Wang Jian, pressed them to Chu, and camped in Pingyu.

Xiang Yan knows what it means to fight against 600,000 tough and brave Qin Jun. Perhaps, with the strong morale of defeating Li Xin before, a bloody battle is enough to save the country. He also mobilized troops from all over the country to confront Qin Jun in front of the camp and challenge him.

Who knows, Wang Jian's wily is far from Li Xin's. In the face of the morale of the Chu army, he ordered to stick to the barriers and surrender without a fight! Xiang Yan punched hard, and now it is empty. Xiang Yan fell into deep pain. He dared not attack other parts of Qin easily, because it would weaken the main force and be divided by Wang Jian. Hmm. How interesting

But when will this end? If Qi can send troops at this time, whether attacking Wang Jian from behind or attacking Qin, it will definitely change the situation! Unfortunately, since being defeated by Le Yi decades ago, the relationship between Qi and Qin has been very close, and it is impossible to count on them now.

How did Xiang Yan die?

In this contradictory and painful mood, Xiang Yan survived for nearly a year. Dozens of Wan Chu troops under his command began to whisper. Unlike Qin Jun opposite them, they stayed here for a long time without fighting, which made them very suspicious and puzzled. At this rate, the army may disband itself. So, Xiang Yan ordered to retreat to the east, ready to rest in their own rear. Wang Jian is waiting for this moment. He immediately ordered the whole army to attack Chu Jun! The long-term stalemate exhausted the energy of the Chu army, but accumulated a full murderous look. Coupled with eating well, practicing well and being brave, I got three points. Chu's main force was defeated, and Xiang Yan also died in the army. Soon, the state of Chu perished.

Compared with the mediocre generals of Chu for hundreds of years, Xiang Yan is undoubtedly outstanding. He led the Chu army and gave the last blow to Qin Shihuang, sweeping Liuhe. Although only two teeth were knocked out, it was better than nothing. In a word, under the general trend of Qin unification, Xiang Yan staged a tragedy in which ordinary people rebelled against their fate. However, the passage of history, after all, is not a drama, and there can be no final ending. Chu was invaded by Qin for hundreds of years, and in the hearts of the same tough Chu people, a blood oath was written: although Chu has three families, Qin will die!

Xiang Yan himself, however, can be a flag and idol of Chu against Qin. Even more than a decade later, Guangwu osawa Township and Chen Sheng used Xiang Yan as an excuse to revolt and revive Chu. The anti-Qin war launched under the banner of Xiang Yan was more violent than the storm of Qin reunification.

Xiang Liang, the son of Xiang Yan, supported the descendants of the Chu royal family and raised the banner of Jiangnan Renaissance. Xiang Yu's grandson, the brave and invincible overlord of Chu, became the greatest contributor to the demise of Qin. In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu led the Chu army to destroy the main force and killed Wang Li, the general of Qin State. And Wang Li is the grandson of Wang Jian. Grandfather overthrew the country, lost the hatred of his family and got an unpleasant reward. Xiang Yan's spring is enough to print.
