Compared with the traditional peasant uprising, the war

The Guangwu Uprising in Chen Sheng was basically spontaneous. This spontaneous uprising basically has no clear national program and unified leadership. Bobby Chen is only a nominal leader. In many areas, there is no such name at all. Without a perfect organization, it is basically a fist and regional war, which is not subordinate to each other and even attacks each other. The insurgents simply hated the rule of Qin and wanted to go back to the era when the seven countries were divided. It was a chaotic peasant war.

The battle between Chu and Han is already a struggle between two major power camps. Both sides hope to unify the whole country, with perfect government organizations and unified and powerful leaders. At this time, the war is no longer a war of insurgents, but a war of hegemony between the two countries.

To make an inappropriate metaphor, one is a melee between warlords and the other is a world war between allies.
