General regulations
At the end of Qin dynasty, the general attacked Zhao. Zhao retreated to Julu (now southwest of Pingxiang, Hebei Province) and was surrounded by Qin Jun. He was appointed as a general and Xiang Yu as a lieutenant, leading an army to save Zhao.
Yi Song led his troops to Anyang (now southeast of Cao County, Shandong Province) and held on for 46 consecutive days. Xiang Yu was so impressed by this that he asked for a decisive battle to solve Zhao. However, Yi Song hoped that Qin and Zhao's troops would wait until the war was over and Qin Jun was exhausted.
However, at this time, the army was short of food and grass, and Yi Song was still drinking and taking care of himself. Xiang Yu could not bear to see this. He went into the camp and killed Yi Song, claiming that he was a traitor and anti-Chu. So the soldiers took Xiang Yu as their superior general. Xiang Yu killed Yi Song, which was a great shock to Chu. He was famous as a vassal.
Later, he led the whole army across the Yellow River to rescue Zhao and solve the siege of the giant deer. After the whole army crossed the Yellow River, Xiang Yu ordered all the ships to sink, all the cooking pots to be broken, and all the military camps to be burned, leaving only three days of dry food to show his intention of dying and not returning.
In this way, no way back's army reached the periphery of the stag, surrounded Qin Jun and cut off Qin Jun's communication channel. Ten soldiers of the Chu army fought one, and the war was earth-shattering. After nine fierce battles, the Chu army finally breached Qin Jun, but other governors who came to reinforce were afraid to approach because of cowardice. Chu Jun was brave and good at fighting, which greatly enhanced Xiang Yu's prestige. Even after the victory, when Xiang Yu met with various governors, all the governors dared not look at Xiang Yu.
Later, "all shipwrecks are doomed" evolved into the idiom "cross the rubicon", which means a desperate battle.
