"Liu Bang is a rough and bold peasant general, he has a keen political sense and eloquence, but he also has the shortcomings of recklessness and arrogance."

"Zhang Liang is a gentle descendant of the scholar clan, he is like the bamboo, humble and gentleman, gentle as jade, he has the advantages of erudition and foresight, but also has the weakness of being weak and sickly and not making good use of soldiers."

"The two have very different personalities, but they can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, forming a golden pair."

With his superb wisdom and strategy, Zhang Liang made great contributions to Liu Bang in the Chu-Han War. He has defused Liu Bang's crises many times, worked out a strategy for victory, and pointed out the right direction. ”

"Zhang Liang started by assisting Liu Bangxi to attack Xianyang, deceived the Qin generals with money, attacked Wuguan, showed weakness with the Hongmen banquet, made Xiang Yu give up his hostility to Liu Bang, burned the plank road, let Xiang Yu let go of his defense against Liu Bang, and persuaded Liu Bang to reuse Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu to help Liu Bang regain his strength after the defeat in Pengcheng."

"After the chasm agreement, taking advantage of its exhaustion, it was suggested that Liu Bang tear up the agreement to pursue Xiang Pu, and finally formed a situation of the battle of Qixia, assisting Liu Bang to defeat the invincible Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang's strategy is the first credit, Liu Bang can do without Han Xin, but must not be without Zhang Liang, Liu Bang can withstand the 4-year attack of the god of war Xiang Yu on the frontal battlefield, in addition to Xiao He's rear support and the combat effectiveness of the Han army, Zhang Liang's strategy played a greater role, so after defeating Xiang Yu, Liu Bang took out 30,000 fiefdoms for Zhang Liang to choose at will, But Zhang Liang gave up, a strategist, he may have guessed his own one a long time ago. ”

"In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, everyone knows who the three heroes are, Xiao He among these three people, has suffered the disaster of being imprisoned in Jincuo, and the fate of Han Xin, who has made outstanding achievements, was even worse by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was killed by default, only Zhang Liang, when assisting Liu Bang to fight the country, he was able to strategize in the strategic, and won thousands of miles away, after the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, he was able to judge the situation, retire successfully, save himself, become a good assistant through the ages, admired by later generations, and later generations are called "seeking saints"! ”

Qin Shi Huang: There must be more than a dozen schemes! Wonderful! Odd people too!

Zhu Yuanzhang: It's really under control, even the retreat, I saved my life!

Fusu: Then what is the matter with this young prince?

When Liu Bang ascended the throne, he had not yet lived in seclusion, when Zhang Liang was deeply relied on and trusted by Liu Bang, and was appointed as the young prince and in charge of the government, he assisted Emperor Liu Ying of the Han Dynasty to retain the crown prince and assist him in dealing with national affairs. He also participated in the formulation of important legal and mathematical works such as the Han Law and the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic. ”

In his later years, Zhang Liang was entangled in illness, frail and sick, and witnessed the tragic ending of Peng Yue, Han Xin and other meritorious ministers, thinking of Fan Li, Wen Xingyue or fleeing or dying, and deeply understood the philosophy of "the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were exhausted, the good bow was hidden, the enemy country was broken, and the ministers died", afraid of the loss of vested interests, and even more afraid that the fate of Han Xin and others would fall on him, he chose to retire and protect his life. ”

"In this way, a generation of heroes resigned from their official positions, lived in seclusion in Huangpao Mountain, and built the Liangshan Taoist Temple, and founded the Fagui Academy not far from the Taoist Temple to teach local children the language."

"In his later years, Zhang Liang did not ask about the government and politics, concentrated on cultivating and maintaining health, believed in the way of Huang Lao, and longed to become an immortal."

He once said: "In life, like a white horse, why suffer like this!" "He also once followed the red pine nuts to travel all over the world in search of fairyland."

"He does not forget his country and nation, nor does he forget his relatives, friends and protégés, he often corresponds with Liu Bang, Xiao He, Han Xin and other old friends, cares about the world's major affairs, and he often teaches his disciples and descendants, imparting his wisdom and experience."

"Zhang Liang died two years after Henkel at the age of sixty-five."

"He did not leave any last words or relics before he died, but closed his eyes peacefully, and his family and disciples held a simple and solemn funeral for him."

After Zhang Liang died, he was posthumously named Marquis of Wencheng. His name and exploits went down in history. ”

"The emperors of all dynasties have highly respected Zhang Liang, and have repeatedly deserved him to enjoy the temple of Taigong Shangfu or the temple of Wucheng Wang, and later generations have also admired Zhang Liang, and established temples or ancestral halls in the places where he lived or lived in seclusion, and enshrined his soul."

"Zhang Liang is one of the most outstanding advisors in the history of the Flower Planting Kingdom, and he is also one of the most admired loyal ministers and wise men."

With his outstanding wisdom and strategy, he assisted Liu Bang in establishing the Han Dynasty and made significant contributions to the rejuvenation and unification of the Chinese nation. He is not in love with power, not greedy for wealth and nobility, not afraid of violence, not afraid of sacrifice, and is a model of "wise wisdom to protect one's self" and "success is not to live" in traditional Chinese culture. ”

He was proficient in the way of Huang Lao, aspired to become an immortal, and was the pioneer of "Bigu Cultivation" and "Ascending to Immortal Ascension" in Chinese Taoist culture, and his life was full of legend and mystery, but also full of wisdom and character. ”

"Zhang Liang's reason for entering the Martial Temple is the same as Zhuge Liang's, although he can't do it by force, he is an out-and-out strategist."

"Zhang Liang's ability to lead the army to fight is not strong, but he can coordinate the overall situation and formulate a grand strategy for Liu Bang to seize the world, which is one reason, and another reason is that Jiang Taigong's personal disciple."

"Zhang Liang met Huangshi Gong when he was in Xiapi, and obtained the "Taigong Art of War", which is different for good reasons, and often recites it."

"The Art of War of Taigong is written by Jiang Ziya, so Zhang Liang is enshrined next to Jiang Taigong as his second disciple, and secondly, Zhang Liang is very humble and low-key, and his reputation in history has always been very good.

Qin Shi Huang: "Seeking the Saint" is such a big title, what a big breath!

Zhao Kuangyin: First Emperor, you may not know that Mr. Zifang's intelligence is far from being expressed in a paragraph.

Qin Shi Huang: Being able to control your ambitions in a high position and retreat with your whole body out, I can also hear that it is not ordinary, South Korea? I don't know if I'll be able to recruit this person.

Li Si: Who can pick up the words "strategizing", the old man once felt that he was such a person, a Hu Hai, who directly let me get off the high platform, and I was just an ordinary person among all living beings.

Zhuge Liang: Mr. Zifang, he is clever, strategic, courageous, and intelligent, which is really admirable!

"Zhang Liang should be on the list, as a disciple of Jiang Taigong, plus Song Huizong's favor in Taoism, it is also appropriate to rise to the position in the Song Dynasty."
