[In the second year, Wang Zichun, Shile's envoy, came to Xiangguo with Wang Jun's envoy.

Shi Le hid all his elite soldiers and strong generals, and showed Wang Jun's envoys all the old and weak soldiers. He also pretended to bow to Wang Jun's envoy to the north, and accepted Wang Jun's reply, as if Wang Jun was really his master.

As for the dust that Wang Jun gave him, Shi Le pretended not to dare to take it, and carefully ordered it to be hung on the wall of his room, and bowed once in the morning and once in the evening, and said to the messenger, "I will not see the prince, but I will see what he has given me as if I had seen him himself." ”

He asked Dong Zhao to accompany Wang Jun's envoy back to Youzhou, and agreed with Wang Jun to personally go to Youzhou in mid-March of that year to honor him as emperor. 】

[After Wang Jun's envoy left, Shi Le immediately asked Wang Zichun about Youzhou.

When he learned that Youzhou City was facing internal and external troubles at this time, and the people were panicking, but Wang Jun was completely unguarded and ready to become the emperor, Shi Ledang even slapped the table and laughed: "Wang Pengzu (Wang Junzi) is really caught!" ”

Of course, if Shi Le wants to send troops to destroy Wang Jun, he still needs to guard against Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Liu Kun of Bingzhou attacking him.

Just when Shi Le was hesitating, it was Zhang Bin who said: Liu Kun is already disgusted with Wang Jun's character, we only need to repair a letter to Liu Kun and ask him for peace, Liu Kun must be very happy to see Wang Jun's demise, and will not send troops to save him.

Shi Le followed Zhang Bin's words and gave a letter to Liu Kun, and Liu Kun learned that Shi Le was going to attack Wang Jun, so he did not send troops. 】

[Look at Wang Jun on the other side.

He had already been deceived by the schemes of Zhang Bin, Shi Le and others, and when Shi Le attacked, he actually issued a statement saying, "Shi Gong is here to support me, and whoever dares to say that he will be beheaded!" "I also asked the left and right to prepare a banquet for hospitality.

In this way, Shi Le simply drove to the city of Youzhou in the welcome of Wang Junjun.

After Shi Le's army entered Youzhou City, he began to loot everywhere, and Wang Jun's left and right asked for resistance, but Wang Jun still had illusions and was not allowed to resist.

It wasn't until Shi Le and his subordinates came to Wang Jun's hall in person that Wang Jun woke up like a dream, and then he remembered to run for his life, but how could he escape? 】

"Idiot!"

"It's stupid!!"

[The combination of Zhang Bin's attacks in this battle enabled Shi Le to capture Youzhou in one fell swoop at a very small price, and he was one step closer to his domination of the north, and then Shi Le was obedient to Zhang Bin. 】

[After getting Wang Jun, Zhang Bin offered another strategy to attack Liu Kun, and adopted the tactic of "encircling the point to send reinforcements" to seize the state.

But Shi Le had a friendship with Liu Kun and was embarrassed to do it, so Zhang Bin suggested letting go of the way, letting Liu Kun break through, and finally killing Liu Kun with the help of Xianbei's hand.

In 318, Liu Cong died of illness, and his minister and father-in-law Jin Zhun rebelled and executed more than 1,000 members of the Xiongnu Liu royal family. Liu Yao, the general who guarded Chang'an, went east and executed Jin Zhun, but the vitality of "Han Zhao" was greatly damaged.

Wang Mi, Wang Jun, and Liu Kun were defeated, Duan's Xianbei fell into division, the vitality of the Xiongnu's "Han Zhao" dynasty was greatly damaged, and Shi Le's strength in the Central Plains was second to none.

As for the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor has no real power, and the gate valve family is infighting, and he is not Shile's opponent at all.

During Zu Ti's Northern Expedition, Zhang Bin suggested that Shi Le fight a "protracted war" to drag down the Jin army, but Zu Ti had no way at all. 】

[In the second year of Taixing (319 AD), Zhang Bin, Shi Hu and others saw that the time was ripe and persuaded Shi Le to become emperor.

Shile accepted this suggestion, ascended the throne in November, and established Later Zhao, with Xiangguo as its capital. Previously, Liu Yao, the lord of the Han Dynasty, changed the name of the country to Zhao, and the history was called the former Zhao, so it was called the Later Zhao built by Shile.

Zhang Bin was crowned as a great law enforcer, named the Marquis of Puyang, in charge of the government, and was already a very popular minister.

According to the "Zizhi Tongjian", it is recorded: "Zhang Bin is superior to others, and the ministers are beyond reach; And honest and cautious, happy corporal, selfishness, handsome, entering, and returning to the United States. Lezhi is very important, every dynasty, often for the correct appearance, simple words, calling the right marquis and dare not name. ”

At that time, Zhang Bin was an honest official, modest and prudent, meritocracy, and a corporal of courtesy, and was deeply respected by Shi Le and his ministers. 】

[Liu Yao is eloquent and strategic, can fight habitually, and is Shi Le's last fierce opponent in the Central Plains.

Zhang Bin told Shi Le: "Liu Yao is very capable of fighting, you can't underestimate the enemy." However, Liu Yao is internally unstable, and he can divide and disintegrate him, and when the time is ripe, he can defeat the enemy with one blow. ”

Shi Le followed Zhang Bin's strategy and eventually defeated Liu Yao and basically unified the Yellow River Valley. It's a pity that Zhang Bin died young and couldn't see this day. 】

[In the first year of Yongchang (322 AD), Zhang Bin died, and Shi Le was in great pain.

There is a relevant record in the Book of Jin: "And the pawn, Le came to cry in person, mourned left and right, and gave the scattered cavalry attendant, the right Guanglu doctor, and the three divisions of Yitong, and said that the scene." The funeral was sent to Zhengyangmen, and the tears of hope were raised, and Gu left and right said: 'If the sky wants not to be evil, why not take my right marquis early!' ’

Cheng Yao is the right long history, Le every time he disagrees with Yao, he sighs: 'Isn't it cool that the right marquis will let me go and let me work with this generation!' 'Because of the runny nose of the sun. ”】

[Shiler's ability to become the king of a country from a slave is inseparable from his vision of establishing a "gentleman's camp".

In the gentleman's camp, Zhang Bin's contribution is the most prominent.

It was the choices he made for Shi Le at critical moments that helped Shi Le grow his strength step by step, expand his territory, and finally establish Hou Zhao.

Such a character is not well-known in later generations, most likely because he is serving a Qiang people.

But we only talk about ability regardless of background and character, so Zhang Bin is the tenth of the top ten strategists in Chinese history, which is well deserved (provided that the characters who have been on the list before are excluded). 】

"The last sentence made the master laugh."

"But what Su Shangshen said is right, if Zhuge Liang and Chen Ping are counted, I am afraid that half of the current strategist list will be lowered!"

"Maybe Su Shangshen is for the sake of fairness, after all, like Huo Qubing and Su Dingfang in the fierce generals, they must all be qualified to be on the list of fierce generals, but if they occupy two lists and receive two rewards, it will be too unfair to other people who are only half inferior."

"Where is the fairness in this world?"

"Alas"

Amid the chatter, the next strategist made a grand appearance.

[Hello everyone, welcome to watch this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Strategists in Chinese History! ] 】

[Maker: Su Qian]

[The ninth of the top ten strategists in Chinese history: a genius strategist who can influence history, Liu Muzhi! ] 】

[Liu Muzhi, the word Daohe, the small character Daomin, Dongguan Juren, the ancestors lived in Jingkou for generations, and was originally the master of the Lang Evil Mansion.

Liu Mu's family is the descendant of Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning Hui in the Han Dynasty, but Liu Mu's family is weak in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but it belongs to the Hanmen scholars. 】

[We all know that the Jin Dynasty because of Chen Qun's nine-product Zhongzheng system, which led to the monopoly of the ruling class by the scholar clan gate lords.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the era of gate valve politics, Liu Muzhi's ancestors did not achieve a prominent position in the Cao Wei and Western Jin dynasties, and he did not participate in the metaphysics of the Xianxue at that time, but recited Confucian works.

But fortunately, Liu Muzhi, a scholar from a poor family, met Liu Yu, the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty, who was also a poor family, and the two cherished each other and jointly created a legend of the rise of the cold family! 】
