Prelude to the Great War
But the question is: If you scold it, it's like spilled water, how can Liu Bang take it back?
Liu Bang's answer was: I can not only collect it, but also collect it very beautifully!
Liu Bang jumped up and scolded loudly for the second time.

info But Liu Bang's scolding, not to mention the messenger, even Han Xin will be willing to be scolded in front of him, and even kneel down on the spot to apologize.
Because Liu Bang scolded like this, "A manly man, if you want to be a real king, what kind of fake king?" You go back and tell Han Xin: After I engrave the king's seal, I will send it to him immediately."
Liu Bang counts when he speaks.
In February, he sent Zhang Liang to Han Xin to send the Great Seal of King Qi and officially canonized Han Xin as King of Qi.
Of course, Zhang Liang also brought Liu Bang's message at the same time, ordering Han Xin to immediately send troops south to attack Chu.
Xiang Yu heard that the dragon was killed in battle, Han Xin had occupied the north of the Yellow River, and was preparing to attack him in the south, and as the overlord of Western Chu, he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.
In Xiang Yu's opinion, Han Xin in the past was Han Xin that he had never looked at, and the current Han Xin was a lion who was enough to stand with him and Liu Bang.
It is impossible to fight back, and his only way out is to lure.
Xiang Yu sent Wu She, a Xuyi man, to lobby Han Xin.
Xuyi is less than 60 kilometers southwest of Han Xin's hometown Huaiyin, and it also belongs to Donghai County, so Wu Shi is Han Xin's hometown.
He had already prepared a surging lobbying argument, but in fact, it had only one meaning to sum up: to persuade Han Xin to betray the King of Han, start anew, divide the world with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and contain each other with the momentum of the iron triangle.
As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiang Yu is at the end of his rope, otherwise he would not have come to negotiate with Han Xin if he was wronged.
Wu Shi also confessed to Han Xin quite honestly: Your strength has become so strong that no one can do anything about it, so if you vote for Liu Bang, Han will win, and if you vote for Xiang Yu, Chu will win.
Of course, because Xiang Yu treated you badly back then, and Liu Bang appreciated you very much, you will definitely vote for King Han.
But there is one problem you must figure out, that is, the result of your vote for Liu Bang!
Not only is that not good for you, Han Xin, but very dangerous.
Because after Liu Bang cleaned up Xiang Yu, he would definitely do something to you Han Xin!
Therefore, for you Han Xin, the best choice is to help no one, divide the world into three parts, and the eternal king Qi country... Objectively evaluated, Wu She's words did not threaten Han Xin, nor did he mean to deceive people, but he was very kind.
Because Liu Bang is indeed such a hooligan villain!
Han Xin also found himself unable to refute Wu Shi's claims at all.
So he simply didn't refute it, but said something else, to the effect that he compared the different treatment he received under Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
said that he was able to get to where he is today, all because of the opportunities and support given by Liu Bang, so he must not betray him unjustly, otherwise it will be ominous.
Wu Shi was completely desperate, and he finally saw clearly: Han Xin is not terrible, what is terrible is the omnipresent shadow of Liu Bang behind him!
King Xiang, with such Liu Bang, you just wait to die, even the gods can't save you!
It takes many times to persuade a person to nag, the so-called three people become tigers, and everyone is golden, so when Wu Shi just left on the front foot, Kuaiche came to lobby Han Xin on the back foot.
Kuaiche is not only a columnist, he also seems to know the art of dealing with people, and said to Han Xin, "The face of the prince is not as good as a feudal marquis, and he is in danger." But the back of the prince is unspeakably precious."
This passage is a pun, the so-called "back"
On the surface, it means back, but in fact it also implies "betrayal"
meaning.
Kuaiche wants to tell Han Xin: You can only be precious if you betray the King of Han!
Han Xin obviously heard the meaning of Kui Che's words, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Mr. say this?"
Nonsense!
It's not so that you can be a bigger king, so that I can be promoted to be a bigger official.
Kui Che, like Wu She, talked about vertical and horizontal techniques endlessly, but there is only one way to sum it up: he and Liu and Xiang are divided into three parts of the world, and then they can take the opportunity to become the lord of the world!
Of course, this has to start with Han Xin's betrayal of Liu Bang and his own mountain... Unexpectedly, Han Xin's expression was serious after hearing this, "King Han treats me so well, how can I betray righteousness for the sake of profit?"
Kui Che sneered, "May I ask the king, from the perspective of a friend, can you and the king of Han have an iron relationship between Zhang Er and Chen Yu?" Back then, these two were friends and had an alliance of life and death, but in the end they still killed each other, and the relationship between you and the King of Han will definitely not be stronger than the relationship between Zhang Er and Chen Yugan's father and son, and the things that destroy your relationship are far greater than those of Zhang Huang and Chen Ze. From the perspective of the relationship between monarchs and ministers, are you as loyal to the Han Dynasty as the Yue language of the pre-Qin period? But once Gou Jian succeeded in recovering the country, he immediately killed Wen Chong. In terms of making friends, you are not as good as Chen Yu; In faithful words, you are inferior to the literary. And the tragic fate of these two people is enough for you to think about it more."
Kui Che paused and said: "And I heard that 'those who bravely shake the lord are in danger, and those who cover the world will not be rewarded', and now you are the master of high merit, and the great merit is not rewarded." wanted to defect to Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu couldn't believe it; If you want to be loyal to Liu Bang, Liu Bang will also be afraid of you. Therefore, you can only stand on your own and bravely open up your own living space."
Kuaiche's words were more thorough than Wu She's.
Wu Shi said that Liu Bang was greedy and ruthless, so Han Xin needed to defect in order to ensure safety.
Kui Che analyzed the situation and pointed out that no matter whether Liu Bang is that kind of person or not, he can't tolerate a hero like Han Xin... Han Xin seemed to have nothing to say, so he could only sigh deeply and say perfunctorily to Kui Che, "Sir, go back and rest first, I will consider your opinion (Sir, rest, I will read it)"
The reason why I am putting out the original text of this passage is because it is so important for us to understand the tragedy of Han Shin.
In my opinion, Han Xin's words are the biggest watershed in his life!
As the so-called success and defeat of the king, sometimes, success or failure is not in the battlefield of fighting, but only in a thought.
After Han Xin became the queen of Qi, his so-called ambition was like a flying kite, and the thread of desire in his hand had been exhausted.
In other words, his ambition is just that up to the king of Qi, he doesn't have too many excessive ambitions.
Looking back at the scene of Han Xin's burial of his mother, at that time he set himself a lifelong goal - Wanhu Hou.
Now, he has not only become the Marquis of Wanhu, but also the king of Qi, which is far beyond his original desire and pursuit.
In a sense, desire is the driving force behind dreams, desire and ambition are like fuel, dreams are like cars, how much fuel there is, how far dreams will run, Han Xin's ambition fuel has been exhausted, you tell him to run one more meter away, how difficult it is!
Enough, my dream is fulfilled and I don't want to toss anymore.
I believe that this should be the truest thought in Han Shin's heart... Han Xin had made up his mind, and after several days passed, he kept silent about the betrayal.
However, this is the real trouble for Kuicher!
He's made a big bet on it.
Under the premise of Han Xin's refusal, it can be imagined: except for a dead end, there is no place for me in this world.
No, that's not the result I wanted!
Kuaicher decided to lobby Han Xin again: "Those who have done great things in the past cannot hesitate. As the saying goes, time doesn't wait for me, the opportunity will not come again, please be sure to think about it."
However, Han Xin finally refused Kui Che's persuasion, first, he couldn't bear to betray Han, and he couldn't be so ruthless in his feelings, and secondly, he was proud of his high merits, thinking that Liu Bang would not take away my Qi country in the end.
In short, it is soft-heartedness, naivety and luck.
In addition, I don't have that much interest in being the Son of Heaven, I'd better go my own way, don't rob other people's roads... Kuaicher saw the most desperate show in his life, this card indicated Han Xin's future dead end, and at the same time, he also did not see his own future dead end.
As the saying goes, one is prosperous, and one is lost, Kuaiche had no choice but to thank Han Xin aggrievedly and say goodbye, pretend to be crazy, and wander the world... Han Xin, just wait and see, the Grim Reaper is not far from you!
Liu Bang ordered Han Xin to go south on the one hand, and Peng Yue and Tian Heng on the other hand to go to Wei to harass him.
At the same time, in July, Feng Yingbu was crowned King of Huainan.
Let him take his soldiers back to Jiujiang to fight with Zhou Yin, the great Sima of Chu... In this way, the pocket array against Xiang Yu was slowly tightened, and Xiang Yu's end was coming.
In August, Liu Bang was sponsored by two armies in the north, they were the Northern Raccoon Tribe and Yan Wang Zang Di, and the most terrible thing was that they sponsored Liu Bang was a native product of the north - the Owl Cavalry Army.
At the same time, Liu Bang issued an order: all soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country should be prepared by government officials and sent to their hometowns.
As soon as this order came out, the world returned to the heart, and the final decisive moment between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu finally arrived!
Liu Bang appointed Zhou Cao's younger brother Zhou Chang, who died defending Xingyang, as one of the three princes.
It also formulated a 'calculation endowment' for each adult to pay 120 yuan a year in taxes.
When the decisive battle was approaching, Lu Jia brought many treasures and gifts, and was sent by the king of Han to come to Chuying to negotiate.
took the initiative to negotiate peace, only asking Xiang Yu to release the two most important hostages: Liu Bang's father Liu Taigong, and his wife Lu Pheasant, who have been detained for more than two years... Of course Xiang Yu refused, Lu Jia said that there was no way to break his mouth, so he had no choice but to return to the Han camp with those treasures and gifts.
Lu Jia failed, and another person named Hou Gong took the initiative to ask Liu Bang to lobby Xiang Yu.
Hou Gong still said what Lu Jia said: negotiate peace and release people.
But this time, Xiang Yu was unusual.
He seems to have seen that the war is not a one-man battle, and the situation has become more and more unfavorable for the Chu army.
He had no choice but to make peace.
Xiang Yu finally agreed to sign an alliance with Liu Bang, "bounded by the gap between Dangjun Daliang and Chen County and Xiang County." The west of the chasm will return to Han, and the east will return to Chu. Since then, the two countries have been on good terms and will never go to war. And Xiang Yu released Liu Taigong and Lu Pheasant."
In September, after the covenant was formally concluded, Hou Gong took Liu Taigong, LΓΌ Pheasant, Liu Fei, and Zhenshiqi back to the Han camp, and the whole army shouted long live.
And the Duke of Hou was given a strange title by Liu Bang: Ping Guojun.
Regarding this title, Liu Bang explained it like this: "Hou Gong is a powerful debater in the world, and whichever country he lives in, which country will be overthrown, so he is given this name"
This is really incomprehensible, Hou Gong finally redeemed his wife and father for you, and he took most of the world, you don't say thank you, why do you still take this inauspicious title for others?
What's even more puzzling is that Liu Bang also decided to never see Hou Gong from now on!
The covenant was finally reached, and Xiang Yu found that he was really tired, so he first arranged for the withdrawal of troops and the return to the east.
Subsequently, Liu Bang also prepared to withdraw his troops and return to the west.
But at this moment, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping came to see Liu Bang, "Now the Han Dynasty has most of the world, and the princes are attached." And the Chu soldiers are exhausted, which is exactly the day to die Chu. If you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, you will definitely raise a tiger. In the end, the great opportunity to build the imperial industry was lost"
In October, on the New Year (before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the calendar, with October of the lunar calendar as the first year of the year), Liu Bang tore up the covenant, led an army of more than 200,000 to chase and kill Xiang Yu, and caught up with the Chu army in Guling County, Chen County.
Of course, Liu Bang also knew that Xiang Yu was not easy to destroy, so he chose the danger to set up camp, and immediately sent envoys to meet Han Xin and Peng Yue, asking them to rush to Guling to fight a decisive battle with Xiang Yu.
But he didn't expect to kill Liu Bang: Han Xin and Peng Yue coincidentally played tricks, and neither of them came to help in the war!
This is a big problem!
Because everyone on the earth knows that once a person like Liu Bang fights face-to-face with Xiang Yu, unless there are many people, he is not Xiang Yu's opponent at all.
At this time, Liu Bang regretted that it was too late.
And Xiang Yu was also suddenly shocked by Liu Bang's actions, personally led an army of 100,000, and immediately turned around and assaulted Liu Bang.
In this depressing battle, the Han army was defeated.
Liu Bang had no choice but to retreat and build a wall to defend himself.
It's really a plan that can't catch up with the changes, and the good idea was crushed into the end by the two scoundrels Han Xin and Peng Yue!
Xiang Yu scolded outside again, and Liu Bang hid in the barrier, saying, "Call Zhang Liang to see me"
Zhang Liang came, and Liu Bang said, "It was you and Chen Ping who told me to break the contract, and now I am beaten like this by Xiang Yu, and Han Xin and Peng Yue don't listen to me anymore, what can I do?"
Zhang Liang smiled: "Don't you really know why they didn't come?" Seeing that Xiang Yu is about to be destroyed, and what benefits can the two of them get, if you don't say it, of course they won't come. Now you have to make a promise: to give Han Xin all the east of Chen County to Donghai County, to Peng Yue all the valley cities north of Suiyang to Dong County, and to promote Peng Yue from Wei Xiangguo to Wei King, and the two of them will definitely come immediately."
Liu Bang suddenly realized, it turned out that these two people were guys who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles!
The helpless Liu Bang had no choice but to follow Zhang Liang's plan, but he hated Han Xin and Peng Yue deeply in his heart.
If the three sages of the early Han Dynasty are Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping, then the three sages of the early Han Dynasty are Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu.
These are three real heroes, but at the same time, they are also characters that Liu Bang hates more and more.
Han Xin, who had received the benefits, left Cao Shen to defend the Qi State, and he led an army of 300,000 to the south.
Peng Yue also happily led troops to the meeting.
At the same time, Yingbu also made progress in Huainan.
In November, Liu Bang's cousin Liu Jia led his troops across the Huaishui River and besieged Jiujiang County, where Sima Zhou Yin of Chu was located, to govern Shouchun, causing Zhou Yin to rebel against Chu and surrender to Han.
Zhou Yin killed all the Chu soldiers in the six counties of Yingbu's original Jiujiang capital, and raised the soldiers of Jiujiang to welcome Yingbu back into the mastership.
Later, he joined Liu Jia's Han army in the city father and began to go north to fight Xiang Yu.
