The Historical Significance of the Battle of Julu

1. Who fought with whom in the Battle of Julu?

The warring parties in the Battle of Julu were Chu Army led by Xiang Yu and Qin Jun led by Zhang Han. Xiang Yu's general was Ying Bu, a military commander with a high strategic position in the last years of Qin State, and his staff was Wang Li, who had won many battles for Qin before. The Battle of the Julu became the reason why many military commanders and many geniuses fell.

The Battle of Julu laid the historical position of Xiang Yu, Ying Bu and others, but also lost strategic talents such as Zhang Han and Wang Li. From then on, Xiang Yu, overlord of the Western Chu State, will rule this land instead of Hu Hai.

Second, Qin Jun failed because.

There are many reasons for the failure of the Battle of Julu. First of all, Zhang Han's wrong fighting method.

At that time, he killed all the famous generals, leaving only some nobody, so he thought these nobody should not be afraid. It's not too late to clean them up later, so he led his army to Julu. At this time, there was not much silver left in the treasury of the Qin Dynasty, which was not enough to support the huge war expenditure.

The second reason for the failure was that Zhao Gao gave orders in the imperial court. As we all know, Hu Hai's superior position was caused by the collusion between Zhao Gao and Reese. The emperor supported him in order to turn Hu Hai into a puppet.

After Hu Hai reached the summit, Zhao Gao was in charge of everything. When Zhao Gao told him to go east, the minister dared not go west. Zhao Gao is just an elder sister and knows nothing about military affairs. He only said that he would suppress the rebels and win the battle, but never gave any concrete steps, which led to Zhang Han's helplessness and forced to surrender.

The third reason is that Qin Jun is different from Qin Jun. At that time, Qin Jun attacked a group of farmers without formal training, which was of course overwhelming. Now they are facing a huge gap between the regular army and those peasant soldiers listed in the school language training.

And more importantly, when the war broke out, Xiang Yu, as the commander in chief, took the initiative to rush ahead of everyone to kill the enemy, which was difficult for other generals to do.

By doing so, Xiang Yu encouraged the soldiers' morale, gave them confidence and encouraged them to rush forward. How can he not win the battle?

After the Qin dynasty unified the world, it could not conform to the development of the times. There are always assassins trying to assassinate the emperor, and the final failure is inevitable.

Third, the historical significance of the Battle of Julu

While Xiang Yu went north to rescue Zhao, captured Wang Li alive, and forced to land, Liu Bang took advantage of his main force to contain Hebei, and also took advantage of his weakness to lead the army to the west and enter the customs first. In the third year of Qin Ershi (207 BC), it broke through Wuguan in August, entered Xianyang in October, Zi Ying, the king of Qin, surrendered, and the Qin Dynasty perished.

The Battle of Julu was a great victory in the peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty. Basically eliminated Qin Jun's main force, reversed the whole war situation, and laid the foundation for the victory of the anti-Qin struggle. After this war, the Qin Dynasty existed in name only.

Xiang Yu, on the other hand, crossed the rubicon. When the vassal army was crowded in the barriers, he took the lead in attacking Qin Jun with the Chu army, driving the vassal coalition to annihilate the main force of General Qin. This achievement made the world full of curiosity and admiration for him after countless years.
