The Death of Yingbu
Lu Jia, he was first a scholar and then a diplomat. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info born to read, must govern "poems" and "books".
As a result, engaging in diplomacy and talking about poetry and books has become Lu Jia's life.
Lu Jia often used the Confucian "poems" and "books" to persuade Liu Bang, and the uneducated emperor finally got impatient and scolded, "The world is down by me on horseback, what does it have to do with those broken poems and books?"
Lu Jia immediately retorted, "Can you govern the country on horseback?" In the past, Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou seized power by force, but they governed the world in accordance with the will of the people, and used both civil and military forces, so they could last for a long time. If Qin Shi Huang could understand this truth back then, spread benevolence and righteousness, and imitate the ancestors, where would you still have your share in the world."
These words woke up Liu Bang and made him understand the truth of rebellion and obedience.
In short, yesterday of the Han Dynasty could not have Confucianism; But the tomorrow of the Han Dynasty must not be without scholars!
Liu Bang had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake to Lu Jia, and asked him to write down all the successes and failures of Qin and Han for himself and future generations to learn.
So, Lu Jia turned to the study of political theory and wrote 12 books, which were compiled into the book "New Language".
At this time, there were only two and a half princes of the Han Dynasty with different surnames: Yingbu, King of Huainan, Wu Chen, King of Changsha, and Lu Juan, King of Yan.
And the most uneasy thing for Liu Bang is naturally Yingbu!
When Liu Bang's envoy sent a bowl of human porridge boiled with Peng Yue's meat to Huainan Kingdom, Yingbu was hunting in the wild.
Liu Bang's move is nothing more than to deter the first fierce general under Xiang Yu in the past: Don't move, otherwise Peng Yue's today will be your tomorrow!
However, Yingbu was not frightened, he began to secretly gather troops and deploy, preparing to make a rebellion for Liu Bang today when Han Xin and Peng Yue are dead!
It's a pity that his conspiracy also unfortunately leaked the news.
The one who betrayed Yingbu was Ben He, the middle doctor next to him.
The cause was that Yingbu's favorite concubine was sick and went to the doctor for treatment.
And Ben Hyuk lived on the opposite side of the doctor's door.
When he heard that Yingbu's favorite concubine had come to see her, he prepared a generous gift and went to see the woman.
Later, a feast was held at the doctor's house to congratulate Yingbu's favorite concubine on her recovery from a serious illness.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ben He's move is suspected of being a sycophant; However, in Yingbu's opinion, he decided that his favorite concubine was going to Ben He ** under the pretext of seeing a doctor.
So, Youngbu ordered Ben-hyuk to be arrested.
Slap the horse's ass on the horse's feet.
When Ben He learned the news, he fled into Chang'an City and sent a report to the imperial court.
said that the Yingbu rebellion has appeared, and ask the central government to send troops to kill him quickly!
After Liu Bang read the report, he immediately called Xiang Guoxiao He and asked him what he thought?
Xiao He said, "If you want to say that Yingbu rebelled, forgive him for not having the courage to do so." He was probably framed by the enemy. Let's lock Ben He up first and send someone to Huainan to find out."
Liu Bang thought so, and immediately locked Ben He up and sent someone to investigate Wang Yingbu of Huainan.
As soon as Yingbu heard that Ben He had fled to Chang'an, he was already extremely nervous; In addition, the central envoy who came to investigate blindly collected materials that were unfavorable to him deepened Yingbu's doubts.
Instead of waiting for others to start, it is better to strike first.
In July, Yingbu killed Ben He's family and officially launched an army to rebel.
When the news reached Chang'an, Liu Bang immediately released Ben He and made him a general.
and convened a meeting of the generals to discuss countermeasures.
The opinions of the generals are unprecedentedly unanimous: since he dares to rebel, we will fight to Huainan and kill this shaft!
Liu Bang listened to it and smiled bitterly in his heart.
He, these generals, know how to fight and kill, but he doesn't know how to think about his situation as an emperor: First of all, Liu Bang is 61 years old this year.
Since the return of Chen Feng from the Northern Expedition, Xiang Yu's arrow wound recurred again, and the serious illness has not healed, but he has not lost his breath.
Not long ago, he was unable to go to court for more than ten days in a row, which caused panic among the ministers.
It was still Fan Xu who relied on his status as a relative of Liu Bang's brother-in-law, and led his ministers straight into the harem.
Only then did Liu Bang pull Liu Bang up from the thigh of a eunuch.
That's why I'm sitting here for a meeting today, isn't it?
Second, Yingbu is not an easy guy to deal with.
He was an old revolutionary who had participated in the anti-Qin uprising since the time of Chen Sheng, and was the first fierce general under Xiang Yu.
Now Han Xin and Peng Yue are dead.
Let's ask the Han Dynasty, who else is Yingbu's opponent?
However, just when Liu Bang was worried about this, someone told Liu Bang: Yingbu Kevar, and it will be destroyed.
At that time, after the generals had a meeting, Xiahou Ying went home and summoned his disciple, Yin Xue Gong, the former commander of the Chu State, and asked him to ask, "Yingbu has been crowned king, why do you want to rebel"
Xue Gong smiled, "Yingbu's rebellion seems sudden, but in fact, of course. Think about it: Yingbu, Han Xin, and Peng Yue are all working together. But in the first month, Han Xin was killed. In March, Peng Yue was killed. Yingbu must have thought that he would be the next one to be killed. So in July, he reversed"
Master, one word is heaven-shattering!
Xiahou Ying immediately introduced Liu Bang, and Liu Bang immediately summoned Xue Gong to ask him for advice.
Xue Gong said to Liu Bang: "It's not strange that Yingbu rebelled at all. He thought he had three plans. With the above calculation, the Han Dynasty will lose the land of the Six Kingdoms of Kwantung; With the middle plan, the number of victories and defeats is unknown; With the next plan, Your Majesty should be able to rest easy"
Liu Bang hurriedly asked, "What are the three plans?"
Xue Gong replied, "The plan is to occupy the land of Wu to the east, the land of Chu to the west, and the land of Qilu to the north, and then spread the Yan Zhao, hold the wall, and no longer attack." In this way, the land of Shandong is not Han. The plan is to still take the land of Wu Chu, and then annex Han Wei, occupy Aocang, and blockade Chenggao, so that the two sides will form a stalemate and confrontation, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable. The next plan is to seize Wu land to the east and Xia Cai to the west, and then transfer important materials to the Yue country in the rear, and form an alliance with Wu Chen, the king of Changsha. In this way, the court is worry-free, and Your Majesty can rest in peace."
Liu Bang couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Yes!" Of these three schemes, according to your judgment, what will Yingbu use?"
I saw Xue Gong smile slightly, "Count"
Liu Bang asked in surprise, "How can you be sure that he will use a trick?"
Xue Gong said, "Yingbu was originally a prisoner at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and it was pure luck to become the king of Huainan today. In fact, he is a short-sighted person who only cares about the front of him and does not care about the behind, and his rebellion is also for self-preservation. Therefore, the next plan will be taken."
Xue Gong's words made Liu Bang overjoyed, and he immediately named Xue Gong as the Marquis of Guannei, and he ate thousands of households.
He also appointed his son Liu Chang as the king of Huainan to succeed Yingbu's class.
Since Yingbu will make a plan, he doesn't have to worry about it; I am already seriously ill, so I don't need to take it personally?
Liu Bang's mind quickly flashed a person's name, and this person was his crown prince Liu Ying!
But before Liu Bang officially issued an edict for Liu Ying to go to Yingbu on his behalf, Lu Pheasant had already stumbled in front of Liu Bang, whimpering and crying.
Lu Pheasant's tears actually came to act with true feelings, and it was the four living immortals behind the prince who directed this scene for her - Shangshan Sihao.
As soon as Shangshan Sihao heard that Liu Bang was going to send the prince to conquer Yingbu in person, he immediately came to the landlord of their current apartment, Lu Shizhi, the second brother of Lu Pheasant, and told him: The prince must not leave Chang'an!
Because the prince went out to fight, it was nothing more than to make meritorious service.
However, after returning from meritorious service, except for the emperor, the empire did not have a higher position than the crown prince to reward, so meritorious service was useless; On the contrary, once defeated, it will be criticized by Liu Bang.
Just in the name of incompetence, the prince was abolished and Liu Ruyi was replaced.
And from a realistic point of view, the possibility of the prince's failure is extremely high.
Because to let the young and weak Liu Ying command the generals, it is tantamount to using sheep to defeat the wolf, and then facing the world's fierce generals Yingbu, how can it be undefeated?
So Shangshan Sihao asked Lu Shizhi to go to see Lu Pheasant immediately, and asked Lu Pheasant to cry and plead with Liu Bang.
Otherwise, the edict will be over!
After listening to Lu Pheasant's crying, Liu Bang's eyes immediately straightened.
Although Lu Pheasant is suspected of protecting the prince, what he can say is the truth!
The generals under him have tempers, personalities, and all of them have credit.
Looking at the world, apart from themselves, they really can't find anyone who can suppress them.
The prince is in charge, and they are very likely to be passive and slack.
In that case, Yingbu would raise his troops to the west and come straight to Luoyang.
At that point, things really won't be good.
Thinking of this, Liu Bang was angry and angry, and scolded loudly, "I knew that kid was not a good person at all, and he had to wronged Lao Tzu to go out in person."
On the day of Liu Bang's expedition, all the ministers came to see Liu Bang off and sent him all the way to Bashang.
Even Zhang Liang, who has been sick and has been at home, also came.
It was sent to Qu Post until he said goodbye to Liu Bang, and left the last few words of golden and jade words: "My body is really not good, otherwise I will definitely go with the emperor." Chu people are plagiarizing, I hope you pay more attention to yourself, don't fight with them at will"
After a pause, he said, "The prince stays in Guanzhong, Your Majesty should add him the title of general and command the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, so that he can be convinced."
Liu Bang's words made Liu Bang very emotional, and appointed Shusun Tong as the prince's concubine and Zhang Liang as the prince's young master on the spot.
And requisitioned the chariot cavalry of Shangjun, Beidi, and Longxi, and the infantry and lieutenants of Bashu, a total of 30,000 people as the crown prince's Praetorian Guard, stationed in Tunba.
One Yingbu made the Han Dynasty rumorful, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the whole people were nervous, this disaster was really not ordinary!
Liu Bang's army has not yet arrived at the front line, Yingbu has been as Xue Gong expected, leading troops to attack Liu Jia, the king of Jing, in the east, and Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, in the west. Among the generals, Han Xin and Peng Yue are the only two who are my opponents. Now they are all dead, and the rest are not afraid. I shall lead the people to take the world together."
Liu Jia first couldn't resist Yingbu's fierce offensive, fled in the wilderness, and finally died in Fuling in Donghai County.
Become the first prince surnamed Liu to die.
After that, the British and Bu merged with the Jing army and crossed the Huai to attack Chu.
Liu Jiao divided his army into three in a vain attempt to resist the Yingbu.
Someone advised Liu Jiao, "Yingbu is good at using soldiers and is feared by everyone." If I resist, I can hold on for a long time. Today, one is not three, and the forces are scattered. If he defeats our army, the rest of the army will be scattered, and the land of Chu will not be protected."
Liu Jiao didn't listen.
As a result, the former army was broken by the British cloth, and the left and right armies collapsed without a fight.
Liu Jiao also fled to Xue Di for refuge.
After Yingbu destroyed Jing and defeated Chu, as Xue Gong expected, he led his troops to kill Xia Cai in Qi County, Surabaya County in the southwest.
In October of the 12th year of Han Gaozu (BC196), Liu Bang and Yingbu met in the west of Qi County.
Liu Bang suddenly discovered: Yingbu actually used Xiang Yu's art of war to arrange troops to confront him.
Liu Bang looked at Yingbu's army opposite, as if he saw Xiang Yu's ghost reappear, and he was extremely unhappy.
The real Xiang Yu was killed by me back then, and now I am still afraid of your fake Xiang Yu?
Liu Bang was on fire in his heart, came to the front of the battle, and shouted to Yingbu, "You are a good king of Huainan, why bother to rebel"
Yingbu sneered in his heart: Do you think I don't want to be the king of Huainan until death?
But have you made it safe for us, Wang An, who has a different surname?
If I don't rebel, who can guarantee that I will not be able to see the sun tomorrow?
Suddenly, Yingbu had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something, only to see him deliberately raise his voice and shout to Liu Bang, "King Huainan, I'm tired of it." Now I rebel, I just want to taste what it is like to be an emperor."
is quick to talk, but he choked Liu Bang on the other side.
He shouted, "All the soldiers listen well: I personally supervise the battle, you give me a hard beating, and you must annihilate the British and Bu army."
Liu Bang paid a heavy price for this angry pro-conquest - the arrow wound Xiang Yu gave himself back then was still recurring, and Liu Bang was once again shot by the stray arrows of the British and Bu Army!
Liu Bang, who was seriously wounded, led the Han army to launch a fierce attack on the Anglo-Bu army, which was defeated and retreated to Huaishui.
The Han army took advantage of the victory to cross the Huai and rushed forward, which was unstoppable, and finally Yingbu only led more than 100 people to flee to the south of the Yangtze River.
Although Liu Bang had the evil spirit in his chest, the price was really not small.
He was severely injured by a stray arrow.
So he had to let his subordinates continue to chase and kill Yingbu, and he himself took the first step, and the class returned to the court.
Yingbu fought two more battles with Liu Bang's generals in the south and north of Taoshui, and after both defeats, they were almost alone and had no way to escape.
At this time, he suddenly received a letter from his brother-in-law, Wu Chen, the king of Changsha, inviting Yingbu to take refuge in him.
Yingbu also had to defect to Wu Chen at this point.
But he would never have thought that he had been calculated by this brother-in-law!
Wu Chen had already thought about it: to use Yingbu's head as a vote to show loyalty to Liu Bang in order to keep his last kingdom of princes with different surnames.
So as soon as Yingbu arrived, Wu Chen expressed his willingness to betray the Han Dynasty and fled to South Vietnam with his brother-in-law, where he planned again.
Yingbu was fooled and followed.
One night, Yingbu came to Zhifanyang County, Lujiang County, and stayed in a farmhouse, but was killed by a hitman sent by Wu Chen, who followed him.
