character introduction

Guangwu (? -208 before), the word uncle, born in (now Taikang, Henan), was the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty.

In the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), in July, the imperial court called Lv Zuo to be stationed in Yuyang, and Chen Sheng and Guangwu were appointed as commanders. They arrived in osawa Township (now the southeast of Su County, Anhui Province), and were delayed by the heavy rain. According to Qin law, if it expires, it will be beheaded.

Chen Sheng launched a garrison uprising and put forward the slogan of "Great Chu Xing, Chen". Chen Sheng established himself as a general, thinking that he was a surname. In the name of Fu Su, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang who was granted a reprieve, and Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, he called on the masses to resist Qin.

So he led the rebel army to besiege Xingyang, and Chen Sheng sent Zhou as a general to explore the state of Qin. On the way to Xianyang, Zhou Wen's team is expanding. When we arrived at Hangu Pass, there were thousands of chariots and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. When the rebels arrived in a play hundreds of miles away from Xianyang (now northeast of Lintong, Shaanxi Province), they ordered Shaofu to organize hundreds of thousands of prisoners and slaves who built the tomb of Lishan Mountain into an army to meet them.

One by one, the rebels were defeated, and Zhou Wen committed suicide.

With the development of the anti-Qin struggle, the weaknesses and contradictions within the rebel army gradually emerged. Chen Sheng developed a sense of pride, listened to rumors, killed old friends, and became increasingly alienated from the uprising masses. Generals sent to various places did not listen to Chen Sheng's restraint, and even killed each other for power and interests.

For example, Tian Cang, the rebel general who besieged Xingyang, disagreed with Guangwu's opinion and killed Guangwu under the guise of Chen Shengzhi's life, which led to the collapse of this rebel army.
