Xingyang tug-of-war
When Yingbu fled urgently, his wife and children did not have time to take him away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that he is safe, he sent an envoy to secretly sneak back to the six counties to pick up his relatives. Soon, however, the messenger brought back him the unfortunate news: "All your family members have fallen to Xiang Yu's sword. And the murderer who personally slaughtered his whole family was Mr. Xiang Bo"
A kind of innate fire of hatred in human nature strongly impacted Yingbu's anxious heart: Xiang Yu, I lost Lao Tzu to kill so many enemies for you, and you didn't even let go of my wife and children! Since you are unkind, let us blame me for being unjust, so let us use iron and blood to break off each other's grievances.
Fortunately, the messenger also brought back a sword of vengeance for Yingbu - an army of several thousand men! As a result, Yingbu, who had been carried away by hatred, immediately led this army of thousands of people back to his hometown to take revenge. When Liu Bang heard about it, he immediately ran to persuade him, "Brother, please stop your anger, don't do stupid things"
Stupid? How can revenge be considered a stupid thing? Stupid or not, I don't care so much, let's go back to Jiujiang and kill it first!
As soon as Yingbu was stupid, Liu Bang became angry. He didn't say a word of comfort, but slapped the table and scolded loudly, "Don't make trouble, you know how to kill, can a few thousand broken soldiers kill Xiang Yu?" Do you want to kill Xiang Yu all day? Wang Ling's mother was cooked by Xiang Yu, didn't he want to kill him? My wife and children are also being held hostage by Xiang Yu, don't I want to kill him" Yes, how many human tragedies Xiang Yu has single-handedly directed! And in that tragedy, what are Yingbu's dozens of wives and children?
Liu Bang continued to speak generously: "Stupid people shout revenge regardless of life or death, and only smart people will attack at the right time!" Xiang Yu on the battlefield, no one can stop him! In this way, I will send you some more people, and you will give me a good guard of Chenggao. We can only stabilize our position first, and then we will have the opportunity to seek revenge in the future" Yingbu had nothing to say, so he had to agree to go to Chenggao with Liu Bang.
Xingyang County, Sanchuan County and Chenggao, which is less than 250 kilometers west of it, are ancient military strongholds. Liu Bang and Yingbu started a new round of confrontation with Xiang Yu here.
At the beginning of 204 BC, Xiang Yu concentrated his forces and stormed the Yongdao where the Han army transported grain, and destroyed it. Liu Bang and Yingbu understood Zhang Han's helplessness back then. Although the Chu army's trick of destroying the grain route was the first to be practiced by Yingbu, if you ask Yingbu to defend it, it will never be able to defend it. Because this is an extra-long grain route, you don't have absolute strength, and you can't stop the opponent's sneak attack at all. I think that Zhang Han's 200,000 Qin troops couldn't handle it at the beginning, how can you Liu Bang defend this little remnant of the army?
Finally, the Han army ran out of food! However, Liu Bang is a strange person after all, and he immediately found a solution, which was to notify Xiao He, who was in charge of logistics in the rear.
So, Liu Bang repeatedly called for help to Xiao He, who was far away in Guanzhong. This scene is like Monkey King calling the land lord in Journey to the West, and sure enough, as soon as Liu Bang shouted, Xiao He took a group of villagers and wild people to drag food to relieve Liu Bang.
No matter how good the granary in the world is, it is not as good as Xiao He. Because the granary is dead, Xiao He is alive. As long as Xiao He is there, the Han army will not worry about lack of food and clothing. But don't think that Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, is conscientious and ensures that the army's food supply is endless, and Liu Bang is very relieved to Xiao He to entrust big things. Wrong! In fact, Xiao He has always been under Liu Bang's surveillance and control!
Liu Bang's tool to monitor Xiao He was the messenger, no matter how busy he was on the front line, Liu Bang always did not forget to send the messenger back to the customs to greet Xiao He and listen to the report. In the face of all this, Xiao He didn't expect that he was being targeted by Liu Bang's spies, but someone around him saw Liu Bang's tricks.
This person's name is Bao Sheng, and he said to Xiao He, "Prime Minister Xiao, you have to be very careful recently, your trouble is coming" Xiao He asked, "What is the trouble" Bao Sheng, "The King of Han has been sleeping outside the wind and eating all month, but you are in the rear, and he often sends envoys back to ask questions, he must be suspicious of you" Xiao He suddenly woke up, "I really think that the King of Han cares about promoting large-scale production in the rear, so what do you say to do now" Bao Sheng, "If the Prime Minister can send all the relatives of your Xiao family to the battlefield and give them to the King of Han as hostages." The King of Han will trust you more."
Good strategy! Xiao He immediately mobilized his third uncle and sixth master, anyway, all those who could still afford to carry a hoe and a shield were sent to the battlefield by him...
So, with the arrival of Xiao He, Liu Bang not only relieved the food dilemma, but also received a miscellaneous army sent by Xiao He. It doesn't matter what the army is like, the important thing is that Xiao He's hard work finally moved King Han. After Liu Bang received Xiao He's food and army, he was really happy, and finally let go of his heart and let Xiao He stay in Guanzhong and continue to do a good job in logistics. Liu Bang himself has to find a way to deal with Xiang Yu!
On this day, Liu Bang brought Li Shiqi to discuss countermeasures. The old man gave Liu Bang an idea, "If you can crown the former monarch of the Six Kingdoms as the king, then the monarchs and ministers of the Six Kingdoms and the people must be very grateful for your great kindness, and they will naturally obey your orders and work together to conquer Western Chu, then Xiang Yu will be defeated" Liu Bang felt that this idea was good after hearing it, and immediately approved: Very good! The lonely king will engrave the king's seal now, and after the engraving is finished, he will bother you to send it to them everywhere. Li Shiqi was overjoyed, and hurried back to analyze who should be engraved...
And when Liu Bang was ready to act according to Li Shiqi's plan, Zhang Liang, the 'seeking saint', appeared at the right time. At that time, Liu Bang was eating, and while eating, he greeted Zhang Liang, and said proudly, "The ovary, there is a cow man who gave me a good way to deal with Xiang Yu, I think it's very good" Zhang Liang smiled, "Please tell me what a good way is, let me also learn to learn"
So, Liu Bang told Zhang Liang all the things that Li Shiqi said, and after speaking, he asked triumphantly, "In this way, Gu will be as virtuous as Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou." The whole country will be vying to support me. How about it, isn't it a clever plan" But I didn't expect Zhang Liang's reaction to be to stumble and shout, "Who gave you this bad idea?" If you really do this, I promise you will be finished immediately" Liu Bang was shocked, right? What's wrong with this strategy" Zhang Liang, please lend me the chopsticks in your hand, and I'll give you a comparison."
So Zhang Liang picked up a large handful of chopsticks and counted them one by one. Eight chopsticks were shared, and the statement of Li Shiqi was completely denied from eight aspects... But I really think that the first six reasons, Zhang Liang is farting and arguing with strong words. There are only two last reasons, and Zhang Liang is the key. In addition, after Zhang Liang became the prime minister of Han, he never forgot to restore the country for Han, which was what he did under Xiang Liang back then! And now, when there are only seven princes left in the world, such as Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Tian Guang, Zang Di, Gongao, Wu Rui, and Han Wangxin, only after Han Wangxin is the monarch of the Six Kingdoms with pure blood, Zhang Liang dares to be willing to fart like this, and stirs up the things after Liu Bang reinstated the Six Kingdoms! If Han Wangxin is not a prince now, and see if Zhang Liang will fart like this!
The most important reason for Zhang Liang's opposition to the restoration of the Six Kingdoms was the seventh point: "Scholars from all over the world, leaving relatives, abandoning graves, going to the old ones, and traveling from His Majesty, vain want to look at the land close by day and night." Now after the establishment of the Six Kingdoms, the Heavenly Warriors will return to their Lords. From its relatives, against its old and grave, with whom does Your Majesty take the world? "These people are fighting hard in Xingyang City, in the second battlefield in the north, and in the rear battlefield of Guanzhong, just to be crowned princes and generals after victory. But now that you want to give all the land to the Six Kingdoms (and what you said after the defeat of Pengcheng is simply reversed), these people have eaten up all the benefits after the Six Kingdoms, so who of them is willing to follow you?
As for Article 8, "And the husband is not strong, and the six states are restored and obeyed, and Your Majesty can be subservient?" The battle of Pengcheng also proved that these so-called princes are all grass on the wall, and now the situation is that Chu is strong and Han is weak, do you think that only a little favor can buy their loyalty?
Hearing this, Liu Bang suddenly realized. Hurriedly spit out all the rice that he hadn't had time to swallow in his mouth, jumped up and scolded, "Li Shiqi's erection almost ruined my big thing" and immediately ordered his subordinates: Don't carve any more seals of the six kings inside and outside, and all the seals that have been carved will be destroyed!
In this strategist PK competition hosted by Liu Bang, Li Qishi is only a second-rate strategist at best, while Zhang Liang is a strategist among strategists and a master among masters! Zhang Liang's strategy, look at the world, there is no one on the right! If you insist on finding another person in the Han army at that time who can form a Gemini constellation with Zhang Liang, then Chen Ping must be! Chen Ping has been rehearsing backstage for a long time, and now it's time for him to play!
Liu Bang found Chen Ping and asked, "What should I do now?" Chen Ping already had a bamboo in his chest, "Xiang Yu only relied on Fan Zeng, Zhong Liwu, Long Ji, Zhou Yin and a few others. As long as you get rid of them, Xiang Yu will not be difficult to deal with" Liu Bang sighed, "How easy is it to get rid of these people" Chen Ping smiled, "This matter is not difficult!" If you are willing to give tens of thousands of catties of gold, I will be able to disturb their internal affairs, and divide their monarch and minister "Liu Bang" with gold and silver, why bother? As long as Xiang Yu can be destroyed, I will give you 40,000 catties of gold, and I will never ask where it comes from. How "Liu Bang is Liu Bang!" He knows very well: In this troubled era of careless human life, money and jewelry, which are not brought to death, are not brought away, and people who become big things have always taken the world as their private property, so what is the small tens of thousands of catties of gold?
Chen Ping then sent a large number of spies to infiltrate the Chu camp with huge sums of money to buy, spread rumors, frame, and discord... Do whatever it takes. The preferred target was locked on two people: one was Xiang Yu's second father Fan Zeng, and the other was Zhong Liwu, the third general under Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's first general, Yingbu, the second general, Long Ji, the third general, Zhong Liwu, and the fourth general, General Pu, were like sharp sabers to protect him. Now, although Yingbu has turned his back on Chu and surrendered to Han, as long as Long Ji and Zhong Liwu are still there, no one can shake Xiang Yu's invincible iron army! Of course, this does not mean that Xiang Yu is invulnerable, he already has an Achilles heel firmly in Chen Ping's hands! It turned out that when Xiang Yu divided the eighteen princes, he named many military generals from other countries who were not very good as princes, and among his own generals, in addition to Yingbu, who had made great contributions, Zhong Liwu and Long He also made great contributions, but they were not included in the list of kings by him!
This happened to be the breakthrough point of Chen Ping's intriguing scheme! Yingbu is the king, why can't Zhong Lifu get a piece of the pie? In fact, there is no need to say much about this question, it is all due to Xiang Yu's personality - too selfish! Han Xin once said: Xiang Yu pinched the official seal in his hand, smoothed the edges and corners, and was reluctant to hand it over to his subordinates. That being the case, Xiang Yu, I, Chen Ping, will let you suffer a loss of selfishness and narrow-mindedness!
Soon, all kinds of gossip spread within the Chu army: "Zhong Liwu and other generals have fought for King Xiang for many years and have made a lot of contributions, but they have not been crowned king of the soil so far." So I didn't want to do it. intends to unite with Liu Bang, the king of Han, to destroy Xiang Yu, and jointly divide the territory of the Western Chu Kingdom"
There are two terrible things in the world: one is betrayal, and the other is rumors. Now these two terrifying things are just one together, and they are sprinkled in the air by Chen Ping. The rumor gas is like countless flying knives, and the knife cuts into Xiang Yu's sore spot!
Xiang Yu belonged to the category of people with outstanding military talents and idiots with political talents, so he unfortunately believed this rumor and temporarily blacklisted Zhong Liwu and made him a key surveillance target.
At the same time, rumors about Fan Zeng, the father of Ya, were also flying all over the Chu camp, causing Xiang Yu to also have doubts in his heart... But it's not easy to get Fan Zeng right. Chen Ping still needs to wait now, waiting for God to send him a chance!
In April, the opportunity has finally arrived! Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have been facing off in Xingyang for several months. This tug-of-war was exhausted on both sides, and Liu Bang was almost unable to withstand it, so he was ready to take the initiative to stop fighting and negotiate peace. Liu Bang proposed to Xiang Yu: divide the world equally, cut the east of Xingyang for Chu, and the west of Xingyang for Han.
Xiang Yu wanted to agree, but at Fan Zeng's insistence, he refused, "If you don't take it, you will be blamed, if you don't rush to take Liu Bang today, you will regret it in the future" Fan Zeng's words were like thunder, knocking on Xiang Yu's ears! So Xiang Yu increased his troops to attack Xingyang, and at the same time sent envoys to touch the old bottom of the Han army in the name of peace.
The opportunity that Chen Ping has been waiting for has finally arrived! After everything was ready, Chen Ping first asked people to enthusiastically serve the Taigao prepared by cows, pigs, and sheep, as well as a large number of fine wines and delicacies.
At the banquet, the person arranged by Chen Ping pretended to ask the other party, "May I ask if you are the messenger sent by Mr. Fan Zeng, the other party," the other party shook his head, "No." I was sent by King Xiang," the gang immediately pretended to be disappointed and shouted, "Hey! Mistakenly, they were not sent by the Father" and then the gang carried out the prison and all the food and drink as if they were playing tricks. After a while, the dishes were re-served, and this time only a few side dishes were replaced.
This blow is just too big! Fan Zeng's envoy is good for wine and meat, and the envoy of the overlord can only be left cold dishes? Why do you have it? Could it be that Fan Zeng's old guy secretly colluded with you?
Xiang Yu's envoy threw down his job and left angrily. And behind them, Chen Ping smiled.
