At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Ershi was tyrannical, and people's resentment was boiling, sending troops to resist the rule of Qin. Tian Fei is a descendant of the royal family of Qi, and he became the king of Qi.
In June of the second year of Qin Ershi (208 BC), when Tian led the army to rescue him, he was killed by General Qin Jun. Tian's cousin took over Tian and fled to the east. When the people of Qi learned that they were dead, they made themselves king of Qi. Tianjiao was the prime minister, and Tianjiao's younger brother Tian Tian was the general. He led the army to guard their homes and resist foreign enemies.
After Tian Rong fled to Dong 'e, Zhang Han followed closely and surrounded Dong 'e. Xiang Liang heard that Tian Rong was in critical condition, so he led an army to rescue Zhang Han and defeated Zhang Han at Dong 'e. Zhang Han led an army to the west and Xiang Liang led an army to pursue it. At this point, Tian Rong didn't help Xiang Liang pursue Zhang Han, but because he resented Qi people holding Tian Tian as the king of Qi, he led an army to attack Tian Tian instead. Tian was defeated and fled to Xiang Liang for refuge. Tianjiao fled to Zhao, and the field has gone to Zhao for help. Seeing the changes in the country, he stayed in Zhao and dared not come back. Therefore, Tian, his son, was changed to the King of Qi, and he became the Prime Minister and Tian Heng was the General, further pacifying the whole territory of Qi.
After chasing for a period of time, Xiang Liang found more and more troops, so he sent messengers to see Zhao Heqi and asked them to attack together. Tian Rong said, "If Chu kills Tian Jia and Zhao kills Tianjiao and Tian Tian, we will send troops." Xiang Liang said: "The Tian family is the monarch of our allies. It is unfair to come to me when I have no choice but to kill others. " Zhao didn't kill Tianjiaohe to make a deal, so Qi didn't send troops to help Xiang Liang.
Tian Jia spent more than two years under the protection of Chu State. In the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), when Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, enfeoffed eighteen princes, Tian Du, Tian An and Tian were named Qi Wang (Linzi Wang), Jibei Wang and Jiaodong Wang respectively, with the number "Sanqi". At that time, the prime minister of Qi was very dissatisfied with this situation, so he sent his troops to kill Tian An and Tian Tian and became the king of Qi. Xiang Yu crusaded against Tian Rong, was defeated and died, and re-established the status of the King of Qi. Soon, Tian Heng, his younger brother, rebelled in Chengyang and defeated Tian Fake. Tian Fake once again fled to Chu for refuge and was killed by Xiang Yu.
People, events, the battle of Qi and Wang.
geographical position
Qi has a vast territory, second only to Qin Chu. However, Qin Chu was the western and southern border of Chinese civilization at that time, and it was bordered by foreigners in a large area, so its importance should be compared with that of Ding Qi. Chu destroyed Qin and Sanqin became the base areas of Hanwang and Liu Bang, and the ownership of Qi was particularly important.
The category of influence
There were three major promoters in the late Qin Dynasty: Xiang Yu School, Liu Bang School and the former Chen Sheng School.
After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu was enfeoffed by Emperor Wu, and the most controversial issue was Qi and Zhao. Among them, Tian Jia of Qi State and Chen Family were the same clan, and Tian Jia, who established himself as the king of Qi, was a declining imperial clan like Chen Sheng, responding to Chen Sheng's attack on the state capital. Zhao Di Chen Yuren Zhang Er is also an important supporter of Chen Sheng's cause.
Therefore, the main contradiction in the dispute over the enfeoffment system is the placement of Chen's department.
Xiang Yu's attitude
After Tian's death, Qi was once suppressed. Because Tian Rong is the clique of powerful people and Chen Sheng, he won't buy Xiang Yu's account. Xiang Yu had no choice but to establish three other kings of Qi, among whom Tian Fake and Tian An were all kings. Unexpectedly, the three kings of Qi were all losers, and they killed two of them with no effort. Wang Xiang made a fake Tian Rong scissors for Li Tian, killing people's hearts. The field holiday was driven out of the fief twice, and Xiang Yu was completely disappointed. Xiang Yu stood on the opposite side of the original Chen Sheng system in both the King of Qi and the King of Zhao.
Liu bang's attitude
Liu bang is a pragmatist. His kindness to the actual control of Qi. Although the negotiations finally broke down, Han Xin won the forgiveness of Tian Heng and the support of Tian Rong's ally (Peng Yue). At the same time, Liu Bang established an in-laws relationship with the first clan of Jian 'an.
The development of events
Xiang Yu hurt Tian Yun, Chen Yu, Peng Yue and other key members of the Chen family in the packet. He also killed Tian Ji's imperial clan Tian Jia, slaughtered him, and offended Tian, Chen and Qi people. Let a backbone quickly approach Liu Bang. Tian Rongyu and Tian Faku, who were once seen in Qi, all joined Liu Bang. The remnants of Tian Rong committed suicide by leaving a book for Tian Heng, and Peng Yue joined Liu Bang. Tian Fake is a descendant of Qi, and Wang is active in Han politics (later Wang Mang).
