Chapter 769: What kind of person is it? (below)
In the Spring and Autumn Period, "hegemon" was not an explanation of hegemony, hegemony, etc., it should be interpreted as "bo". And Bo is actually used to describe the longest, that is, "Bo, Zhong, Uncle, Ji" to distinguish, Bo is the boss, Zhong is the second, Uncle is the third, and Ji is the youngest.
Then like the most powerful Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, she is the "Bo State" under the Zhou royal family, and the Bo State can be interpreted as the boss of the Zhou royal family's feudal states, that is, the most powerful country among the many vassal states. It was precisely because the Jin State was the boss at that time that a new term was born, that is, "overlord", so "overlord" has one of the meanings of "the most powerful" since then.
Zhang Liang served Xiang Yu in the face and was secretly loyal to Liu Bang. So when Zhang Liang set his king title as "overlord" in Jianyì Xiang Yu, it was actually a conspiracy, using the title of "overlord" to show the world a variety of information, in other words, Xiang Yu is the strongest among the princes, and all the princes should submit to Xiang Yu.
What kind of person is Xiang Yu? He is a very strong man, his personality is full of the pride of the nobility of the old era, and as long as he can solve anything by force, he will never bother to deal with it in other ways. Zhang Liangjian yì used "overlord" as the king name, and Xiang Yuda felt suitable from the heart.
At the end of the pre-Qin era in ancient times, it was Xiang Yu who divided the world, and the reason why he did it was a small story was that he divided it.
What kind of story is that? It was Xiang Yu who killed Song Yi, the ruler of Chu appointed by King Huai Xiong Xin, before the decisive battle of Julu, and from this Yu was completely opposed to Xiong Xin. Fortunately, Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Han in the Battle of Julu, which made Xiang Yu's prestige reach its peak, otherwise if Xiang Yu was defeated, there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat afterwards.
Xiang Yu's complete friendship with Xiong Xin, who had been crowned the title of "Emperor of Righteousness" at that time, was really unexpected by one person, and that person was Fan Zeng, the mastermind of the Xiang Group.
In Fan Zeng's original plan, the Xiang group should not have fought with the righteous emperor Xiong Xin so early, after all, Xiong Xin at this time was the righteous emperor recognized by the nations. Although it was to fight against the emperor of Qin...... That is, Qin II, the countries had to admit that the strongest country, King Xiong Xin, was the emperor, forming a situation of "two emperors contending".
This "two emperors fighting" is not so reliable, in fact, the Chu State with a strong side leads the weak Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han and Qin to fight, but in fact, it is only nominally that the countries are obeying the orders of the righteous emperor Xiongxin, and the countries are not really unconditionally obeying the orders from the righteous emperor Xiongxin.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, became the righteous emperor was that the anti-Qin clique wanted to be equal to the Qin state in terms of name, and did not want to lose to the Qin state from the administrative level, after all, the ruler of the Qin state at that time was the "emperor". It is not nice for the nations to use "kings" to fight against each other.
Since ancient times, China has paid attention to the fame of the teacher, and this "name" can be an excuse for war, but it is also the administrative level of the ruler. Therefore, it has always been rare for princes to be kings, even if they were princes before the confrontation, they would call themselves kings, forming a kind of "reciprocity" at the administrative level, not losing to each other in terms of momentum, and forming a kind of actual justification. The so-called "justifiable", the name is the administrative level, only the level is comparable. Then what you say has the same deterrent effect.
In the context of "need", Xiong Xin was held up as the "emperor" by all countries, so in terms of name, Xiong Xin is in control of the "famous weapon", that is to say, Xiong Xin holds the "righteousness". It is very unwise for Xiang Yu to have a bad relationship with Xiong Xin, especially Xiang Yu, who is a minister and killed his boss, if it can be said to be deviant according to secular concepts, he belongs to people who need to be spurned.
Xiang Yu achieved a brilliant victory in the Battle of the Giant Deer. But it doesn't mean that the crime of "going down to the top" has been washed away, it's just that Xiang Yu's reputation at that time was in full swing, and it was not easy to deal with for a while. Xiang Yu, who was complacent after the victory, may have forgotten what he had done. I didn't think about what kind of situation I was going to face next, but a person didn't forget it, that person was afraid in his heart, and seemed to see the picture of Xiang Yu being spurned by the world, and also saw the day when the Xiang Group's local chicken collapsed, that person was Fan Zeng.
If the Xiang group collapses, in addition to the Xiang family's family members, of course, there are also those who belong to the group, and under the reality of both prosperity and loss, Fan Zeng has to think about how to turn the situation around, so that those bad things will not happen. When he had already thought about some eyebrows, a great news for the anti-Qin group, but a big bad news for the Xiang group, came to the private name Pei Gong, the left general of the Chu State, and Liu Bang, one of the leaders of the anti-Qin rebel army, entered Qin, and the Qin center collapsed after the civil strife, and Xianyang surrendered to Liu Bang without a fight!
If the Qin State had not collapsed so early, Fan Zeng would have had time to eliminate the influence of Xiang Yu's "lower and lower Keshang", and he would also be able to rely on his wisdom to make the righteous emperor Xiong Xin eliminate his hostility towards Xiang Yu, but it would be too late.
The collapse of the Qin State means that the enemies of the "people of the world" are gone, and after everyone has no common enemy, the contradictions that will be slowed down in order to fight the enemy together will not be suppressed, and the collapse of the Qin State will inevitably cause some contradictions that were originally buried to explode.
Without a common enemy, the nations no longer had to obey the orders of the Chu state, and in some ways, the Chu state even became an enemy of the nations from the moment the Qin state collapsed. Simply after the Qin State launched a counterattack, the administrative system of the countries had already been hit and collapsed, that is, some royal families of the countries had lost their authority and no longer had such a strong appeal. In this way, there will be a time buffer for the confrontation between the countries and the Chu State, but in some ways this is a threat that will push the Xiang group to the bottomless abyss, after all, because the prestige of the royal family is not strong, it is also necessary to be weak and wronged against the righteous emperor, so the Xiang group will be dangerous.
Fan Zeng had to find a way to eliminate Emperor Yi's influence on the nations, and he seized on the weak status quo of the royal family to fundamentally disintegrate the nations against Xiang Yujian, using the means of dividing the prestige of the nations.
Hold the authority to divide the princes of the world? Xiang Yu loves such a thing, which is in line with the idea of respecting the strong in his head. Xiang Yu, who felt that Julu had won an unprecedented victory, was at the moment when his ego was at its most inflated, and he probably felt that no one could have more strength to control authority than him, so he agreed to Fan Zeng's construction without saying a word.
In addition to destroying the "foundation" of the nations, Fan Zeng certainly would not let go of a person he hated to the core, and it was that person who made things that had enough time to solve the problem with the least destructive means extremely tricky. The object of Fan Zeng's hatred is, of course, Liu Bang, who took advantage of Xiang Yu's fate-determining battle with the Qin army in Julu, and then acted as a stealing the fruits of victory and easily killed into Qin.
With a complete hatred, Fan Zeng persuaded Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang. gave countless examples, among which Xiang Yu accepted the most was Liu Bang's stealing of the fruits of victory, the most lethal sentence was "The one who is in the first pass is the king, for this he does not support you who are fighting hard in Julu, but lets you fight desperately to steal victory", it is this sentence that makes Xiang Yu, who is extremely confident, think that he has been betrayed the most completely.
On the other hand, Fan Zeng explained to Xiang Yu about the impact of killing Song Yi, explained to Xiang Yu that the Xiang group was about to face the situation of the righteous emperor Xiongxin, waited for Xiang Yu to understand the bad situation, and then hinted that it was time to kill the puppet Xiongxin, who was supported by the Xiang clan but gradually lost control.
Kill the bearheart? Xiang Yu is young. And it is in the most glorious moment of life. The last thing that young and in a glorious moment is to be controlled, and the young heart full of confidence is never willing to be threatened, and the result is that Xiang Yu made up his mind to kill Xiong Xin without any hesitation.
Xiang Yu's agreement to kill Xiong Xin was great for Fan Zeng, and they should break the influence of any royal family in the "old world" and usher in an era when they belonged to the Xiang group, in which Xiang Yu, the leader of the Xiang group, would become the common lord of the princes like the Zhou royal family.
In order to further achieve his plan, Fan Zeng believed that Yingbu should go to carry out the attack on the righteous emperor Xiong Xin, and believed that Wei Bao, Chen Yu, Zhang Er, Zang Di, Han Guang, Tian Rong, and Tian Jiao should be ...... and other influential people from other countries should participate, and the most special ones are some generals under Xiang Yu. Such as Long And, Yingbu, Zhong Lifu, Ji Bu...... and others must also participate, so that they are inseparable from the relationship and cannot be separated from the Xiang Group from then on.
In the next series of events, Yiqiē seemed to be developing according to Fan Zeng's plan, and Xiang Yu led the army to pounce on Qin Di with great momentum. The heroes of the nations also trembled under Xiang Yu's prestige, but all the good things encountered setbacks from the moment they entered the army......
Xiang Yu and Chen Bing overlord, issued the most solemn representations to Liu Bang, and asked Liu Bang why he reneged on the covenant at the same time. Questioning whether Liu Bang, who relied on the support of the Xiang Group to rise, wanted to put the Xiang family to death, the whole text was full of majesty and threat, and the words were extremely domineering.
At this moment, Liu Bang is definitely not the opponent who has just won the giant deer victory over Xiang Yu. That is not only the victory that Xiang Yu led the army to defeat the strong in Julu, but also from the capable generals under the account, not only is he a head shorter, but Liu Bang is weaker than Xiang Yu in any aspect of the existing situation.
Liu Bang, who was enjoying the concubine or palace maid of Qin II in Xianyang Palace, heard that Xiang Yu led the army approaching Xianyang, and at that moment he ran out of the room naked to escape without even wearing clothes, and only calmed down under the appeasement of several advisers and generals.
Sometimes the lack of strength can not rely on intelligence to make up, but wisdom in some aspects can reverse the outcome, Liu Bang is very fortunate to have a Zhang Zifang named Zhang Liang, fortunately this Zhang Zifang also has a good relationship with the Xiang Group, and even Zhang Zifang has a neck friend Xiang Bo in the Xiang Group.
Liu Bang, who was in a hurry, turned around in a hurry, and at this time Zhang Liang stood up.
Zhang Liang and Xiao Hejian, together with Liu Bang, withdrew from Xianyang City, not only withdrawing from Xianyang City, but also entering the Qin Land to loot the wealth and silk to concentrate, and to show the surrender side by offering wealth to Xiang Yujin. Zhang Liang even built a series of documents, household registrations, and maps of mountains and rivers that he had obtained to be completely dedicated to Xiang Yu, expressing absolute surrender and using this method to survive this crisis, but this move was opposed by Xiao He, who thought that anything could be sacrificed, but the documents, household registration, and maps of mountains and rivers must be left, which was the key to whether Pei Gong Liu Bang could become a male lord in the future.
Compared with Zhang Liang, Liu Bang seems to trust Xiao He who rose from Pei County together? After Zhang Liang described the danger of leaving those things, Liu Bang still listened to Xiao He's advice, even at great risk, he hid the documents, household registration, and maps of mountains and rivers, and tried his best to cover them up.
Zhang Liang, who was hopeless in persuasion, only went to Xiang Yu's garrison with a nervous mood, he did not go to meet Xiang Yu, but went to find Xiang Bo, bribed Xiang Bo with huge wealth, and begged Xiang Bo to make a change for Liu Bang.
The result of the "Hongmen Banquet" directly shows the success of Zhang Liang's efforts, which is based on the premise that Zhang Liang successfully bribed Xiang Bo, and Zhang Liang also sought the help of a halberd man.
Of course, that halberd lang was Han Xin, who was working for Xiang Yu at that time, if it weren't for Han Xin's secret help, Xiang Bo would never have been able to obtain the war sword under Fan Zeng's layers of surveillance, and when Liu Bang was about to be killed by Xiang Zhuang with a sword, there would not be Xiang Bo holding a war sword to block.
Many people have made countless speculations about that period of history, how could the little halberd Lang escape Fan Zeng's surveillance to help Xiang Bo, why Xiang Yu, who was bent on killing Liu Bang, hesitated, including how Han Xin could escape after committing an act of betrayal, and finally became the most capable general under Liu Bang.
No one can know what Xiang Yu was doing at that time, just as no one can guess why Xiang Yu was estranged from Fan Zeng later. In fact, there is a shadow of a person from beginning to end, and that person is Zhang Liang.
At that point, the friendship between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu was no longer there, and Zhang Liang exchanged his service for Xiang Yu for Liu Bang to be the king of Hanzhong.
Xiang Yu was willing to let Liu Bang go when he got Zhang Liang's loyalty, it is conceivable that Xiang Yu fully saw Zhang Liang's talent, and at the same time, Xiang Yu also had full self-confidence.
Later, because of Zhang Liang's secret separation, Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng went farther and farther away, and in the end, Xiang Yu even expelled his father Fan Zeng.
Looking at what Zhang Liang did after the end of the ancient pre-Qin period, no matter what the historical evaluation of him is, it cannot change the fact that his greatest contribution to Liu Bang was as a spy within the Xiang group. Therefore, in many historical stages, the male lord values a certain person and says that that person is his ovary, but in fact, it does not mean that he is entirely appreciating wisdom, in some ways, it is saying that that person can become a spy who has important help to his career like Zhang Liang?
