Chapter 27: Reward
When Liu Bang came back from the Hongmen banquet, he was still afraid in his heart, so he sprinkled all his grievances on Zuo Sima Cao's head. He was not allowed to defend himself, and sent him away with a sword, even though he had sworn to follow him to the death.
The Han army survived a catastrophe, and it was also decent to be stationed in Bashang, and they did not dare to act rashly. Xiang Yu saw that Liu Bang was indeed very well-behaved, so he completely dispelled the idea of destroying Liu Bang's army.
Xiang Yu set his eyes on Xianyang City, not far away, at this moment, his enemy was lying in the tomb of Lishan, but the descendants of the enemy were still living very chicly. Xiang Yu was a man of grudges, his grandfather, his uncle, and many of his relatives died under the butcher's knife of the Qin people. How could he not hate?
Qin people, the father's debt is repaid by the son, and the blood debt committed by your ancestors will be repaid by you. Don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame your ancestors, they planted hatred, let you and me become enemies, for the enemy, I Xiang Yu only greeted with a sword.
Back then, Ying Zheng went around killing the descendants of the Six Kingdoms, who would have thought that decades later, his descendants would die under the butcher's knife of the descendants of the Six Kingdoms.
The biggest drawback of imperial politics for thousands of years lies in this, the emperor guarantees that he will be able to get it during his lifetime, but he can't guarantee it after his death.
A few days after Xiang Yu was in Hongmen, he ordered the whole army to enter Xianyang City.
Knowing that Xiang Yu had entered the city, the people of Xianyang fell into extreme panic.
As soon as Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, Ma Shan ordered the troops: burn me as much as I want, rob me as much as I want, and kill as much as I want. All in all, the most destructive thing possible. The soldiers of the Chu army have been following Xiang Yu for a long time, and they have already tempered a cruel heart.
The people of Xianyang were slaughtered, the Qin royal family, the officials died without a place to be buried, and the prince of Qin was not spared. Those beauties and treasures of the Qin Palace that originally made Liu Bang salivate were all packed by Xiang Yu and sent to Pengcheng.
The most regrettable thing is that the palaces of the Qin Dynasty were burned, including the fascinating Afang Palace, which is said to have been burning for three months without extinguishing. If these are handed down, they will definitely be treasures of Chinese civilization.
After Xiang Yu finished doing this, he was still unsatisfied, and ordered 300,000 soldiers to unload their swords and carry hoes and shovels. He drove to Lishan and did a disgraceful thing --- dig a grave. The Lishan Tomb has long been famous all over the world, I think that Qin Shi Huang requisitioned countless people to repair the tomb for it, repaired for decades, and almost everyone knows about it, no one knows, so for two thousand years, tomb robbers often go to Lishan uninvited, pull the first emperor to talk about his heart, nagging. Xiang Yu transported all the gold and silver treasures dug up, and these treasures alone were moved for a month, which shows the huge amount of buried treasure in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
The wealth accumulated by the Qin State for hundreds of years was swept away.
Xianyang has become a dead city, the city is dilapidated, the smoke covers the sun, the dead vines and old trees are faint, the people of Xianyang have broken their homes, and the originally prosperous and rich capital has become a ruin.
Xiang Yu looked at his masterpiece and looked at the people of the Qin Kingdom who were trembling everywhere, and his mood was surprisingly comfortable.
He gained wealth, he gained beauty, he gained the pleasure of revenge, but he lost one thing - the human heart.
History is cruel, but it is just. Whoever wins the hearts of the people and who loses the hearts of the people, the common people are clear.
Wait, Xiang Yu, someone will always clean you up. The people of Xianyang cursed this demon king in their hearts.
In today's world, no one can compare to Xiang Yu. However, when it comes to using troops to fight, there is one person who is so brilliant that it is difficult for others to match. He is Xiang Yu's nemesis.
Liu Bang needs him, and the people need him even more.
Xianyang was in ruins, and Xiang Yuzhi proudly led the army to return east. On the way, the advisor Han Sheng suggested to Xiang Yu: "Guanzhong blocks mountains and rivers, and the land is fertile, which can be used as a capital and even a hegemon." ”
Han Sheng's words were very far-sighted, and his suggestion was made on the basis of considering the long-term peace and stability of the country.
Xiang Yu hated the Qin Dynasty very much, Xianyang he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and besides, he didn't say it sooner or later, but when Xianyang was destroyed to a mess, he said it nonsense, so he said impatiently: "Wealth and wealth don't return to their hometown, like brocade clothes walking at night." Who knows! ”
Xiang Yu underestimated himself too much, not to mention the brocade night walk, even if it was a black night walk, no one would not recognize it.
Seeing that Xiang Yu didn't accept it, Han Sheng could only sigh and said, "It is said that the Chu people are crowned by monkeys, it seems to be true." ”
Unfortunately, Han Sheng's self-talk was heard by Xiang Yu, so when people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water. Xiang Yu was furious when he heard this, and threw him into the pot of boiling water alive.
Xiang Yu left Xianyang and took everything here with him. The huge Xianyang City can no longer see the prosperity of the past, and the grandeur of the imperial capital can no longer be seen.
Everywhere there was dead air, dead air.
The Qin Dynasty was wiped out, the palace was destroyed, the royal family was slaughtered, the ancestral grave was dug up, and nothing was left, only the cry of the Weishui River, and the eternal pain in the hearts of the people of Xianyang.
Sad Qin and Han meridians,
The palace and all the rooms were made of soil.
Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.
--- hillside sheep Tong care for the ancient
The war ended, and the world seemed to be peaceful.
It just looks like it, don't take it seriously.
When Xiang Yu left, Liu Bang was still stationed in Bashang, and Fan Zeng suggested that Liu Bang could not be allowed to be the king in Guanzhong, so Xiang Yu thought of a way, he sent someone to report to King Huai, and asked King Huai to order Liu Bang to be transferred out of the Guannei. However, King Chu Huai replied to Xiang Yu with a letter, which made Xiang Yu jump like thunder, and the content of the letter was just two words: as promised. That is to say, according to the original agreement of "the king of the first to enter the customs".
Xiang Yu keenly realized that this puppet was a stumbling block, and he began to consider the value of King Chu Huai: What kind of thing are you King Chu Huai, you have no merit, but you became a king, if it weren't for my uncle, you would be a sheep herding pariah, I can only say hello to you when I can afford you, and now you dare to go against my will, it seems that you are impatient?
Xiang Yu made a killing move, but under Fan Zeng's persuasion, he didn't kill him immediately, after all, he was the nominal co-master of the world, and it was not the time to kill him now. Before disposing of King Chu Huai, Xiang Yu also made a show and respected King Chu Huai as the righteous emperor.
The height is unbearable, an otaku who stays at home every day, has no work and no work to do, but is promoted and raised, what does it mean?
Needless to say, it means that the good days are coming to an end.
There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no otaku who is promoted for nothing.
Under normal circumstances, the fall of a dynasty necessarily heralds the rise of a dynasty.
But, in fact, no.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu was the only person who could command the world, but he did not have a long-term and methodical plan to manage the country, in order to recognize the meritorious people, he began to divide the princes in a big way.
These canonized people are as follows:
Pei Gong is the king of Han, and he has to Bashu and Hanzhongdi, and the capital is Nanzheng.
Qin surrendered Zhang Han as the king of Yong, and the land west of Xianyang was abolished.
Sima Xin is the king of Sai, and he has to the east of Xianyang, and the capital is Liyang.
Dong Fei is the king of Zhai, and he has to go to the county land, and he is a high slave.
The king of Wei migrated to the east of the river, called the king of Western Wei, and the capital was Pingyang.
King Zhao rested and migrated to the fiefdom, still called King Zhao, and the county of Dudai.
Zhao will Zhang Er as the king of Changshan, get Zhao's hometown, and the capital Xiangguo.
Sima Wei is the king of Yin, and he has to sing in the interior of the river.
Shenyang Zhang Er and his ministers first went down to Henan to welcome Chu, and was the king of Henan, and he got the land of Henan and Luoyang.
Chu will Yingbu as the king of Jiujiang, all six.
Chu Zhu Guo Gong Ao once hit Nanjun meritorious, for the king of Linjiang, the capital of Jiangling.
Han Guangxi, the king of Yan, sealed Liaodong and changed his name to the king of Liaodong, but there was no end.
Yan will Zang Di rescue Zhao from Chu, and enter the customs with Xiang Yu, as the king of Yan, get Yan's hometown, and all thistle.
Fanjun Wu Rui Rui is the Yingbu woman, who once recruited Rui from the cloth, entered the customs from Yu, and was the king of Hengshan, all of whom were in charge.
Qi Wangtian City migrated to Jiaodong, changed its name to Jiaodong Wang, and all of them were ink.
Qi general Tian rescued Zhao from Chu, entered the customs with Yu, became the king of Qi, got Qi's hometown, and was Linzi.
Tian An, the king of Qi Jiansun, went down to several cities in the north of Ji, led troops to Chu, and was the king of Jibei, all Boyang.
Han Wangcheng's title is the same as before, and he is still Yang Zhai.
A total of seventeen people were crowned kings, and Xiang Yu called himself the overlord of Western Chu, which is a title that is unique in ancient times.
Xiang Yu's reward seems to be very good and fair, and those who have meritorious service have been rewarded. In fact, there is a huge crisis hidden here.
Crisis 1, Liu Bang was not satisfied and did not become the king of Guanzhong as agreed.
Crisis two, Chen Yu is not satisfied, he is as famous as Zhang Er, Zhang Er is sealed, he is not crowned king.
Crisis three, Tian Rong is not satisfied, he is the largest powerful landlord in Qidi, and he is not crowned king.
Crisis four, Peng Yue is not satisfied, although he does not have much credit, but after all, there are also a group of people.
None of these four men are easy to mess with.
Xiang Yu is not a politician, and Fan Zeng is not a strategist.
A person who can give the princes of the world a king, he does not call himself the emperor, he does not call himself the son of heaven, but he calls himself the overlord. It's funny to think about!
In today's words, Xiang Yu is very trendy.
If you don't understand what tide means, you can go buy a piece of clothing and find a brand called Metersbonwe, pure domestic, but the name is not domestic, this is chao.
Xiang Yu is not called emperor because the title of emperor was created by Qin Shi Huang, and he hated Qin Shi Huang.
He is not called the Son of Heaven, it is due to his personality. In his eyes, it doesn't matter what it's called, strength comes first.
His meaning is obvious: I, Xiang Yu, am so arrogant, I am so domineering, what's wrong? Not convinced? If you are not convinced, take a look at a few tricks on the battlefield!
Remember Xiang Yu, but also remember his domineering and personality.
In fact, Xiang Yu is already the de facto emperor.
Sima Qian's "Historical Records. Xiang Yu Benji said: "In three years, the five princes were destroyed in Qin, divided the world, and became princes, and the government was born by Yu, and he was called the overlord."
This "government is from Yu", it is very illustrative, government refers to policy, and the policies that govern the country are promulgated by Xiang Yu, except for the emperor and the Son of Heaven, who can have this right?
Whether it is the emperor or the Son of Heaven, all in all, we remember that he is now called the Overlord of Western Chu. We must respect the right to the name of the original creator.
After the reward is completed, the dust returns to dust, and the soil returns to the earth. All the princes returned to their own realms.
When Xiang Yu returned to Pengcheng, he felt that Emperor Yi was in the way, so he sent him to Changsha and Chenzhou, the capital of Chenzhou, and later secretly ordered Yingbu and Gong to kill him in the river on the way. This is how Ming Taizu of later generations killed Han Lin'er, the co-leader of the Red Turban Army.
It's all about cover-up, and although it's a secret assassination, everyone actually knows who did it.
In order to prevent Liu Bang from going to Bashu honestly, Xiang Yu allocated 30,000 people to follow Liu Bang, nominally as an escort, but in essence as coercion. Originally, Xiang Yu didn't take Liu Bang's people seriously, but Fan Zeng, an old man, blew the wind in Xiang Yu's ears all day long: You have to guard against your good brother, you must guard against him.
If you talk too much, you will be skeptical.
Liu Bang kept getting angry on the way to Nanzheng.
Angry is angry, or you have to be honest. After entering Shu, Zhang Liang suggested: In order to eliminate Xiang Yu's suspicions, burn all the plank roads (meridian roads) that entered Shu, one is to show that he has no ambition to return to the east, and the other is to prevent the enemy from sneak attack.
Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's suggestion and set the plank road on fire.
Anyone who has been to Sichuan knows that it is difficult to go to Shu and to go to the sky. During the Three Kingdoms, Deng Ai of Wei State in order to destroy Shu State, did not take the plank road, there was no other way, only to take the Yinping Path, or wrapped in a mattress and rolled down the cliff, which is enough to show how difficult and dangerous the Shu Road is, if you don't think too much, it is estimated that you will want to lie there for the rest of your life and don't want to move.
So when he learned that Liu Bang burned the plank road, Xiang Yu suddenly put his mind at ease and enjoyed the most proud moment of his life with Yu Ji wholeheartedly.
Zhang Liang said goodbye to Liu Bang again and went to find Han Wangcheng, his Korean complex was still very strong.
As soon as Zhang Liang left, Liu Bang's heart was empty again.
Liu Bang, don't be sad, Zhang Liang will come back when he leaves. Liu Bang, don't be angry, although Xiang Yu was unfairly rewarded, he gave you a name - Han, this name has been passed down to this day, making us proud of it all our lives.
Zhang Liang is gone, and a person is here, and getting that person is also Liu Bangzhen's real blessing.
His name is Han Xin, a military wizard who leads as many soldiers as possible, and the spotlight of history begins to focus on this young man.
