If Xiang Yu had not had a dispute with Liu Bang, who was later known as Han Gaozu, over who was the "King of Guanzhong", there would have been no need for Emperor Xiong Xin of Chu to intervene in the dispute between Xiang Yu because of who was the "King of Guanzhong" and Liu Bang, who was later known as Han Gaozu.

If Emperor Chu Yi Xiong Xin had not intervened in the dispute between Xiang Yu because of who was the "King of Guanzhong" and Liu Bang, who was later known as Han Gaozu, Xiang Yu would not have held a grudge against Emperor Chu Yi because of this.

If Xiang Yu didn't have a grudge against Emperor Xiong of Chu Yi because of this, he would naturally not arrange for his subordinate general Yingbu to attack Emperor Xiong Xin of Chu Yi.

Yingbu (?~196 BC), a famous general in the late Qin and early Han dynasties. A native of Liuxian (now Lu'an, Anhui), he was dethroned because of the Qin law, also known as Tubu. At the beginning of Xiang Liang, later one of the five generals under Xiang Yu's account, the king of Jiujiang, after the rebellion of Chu to the Han Dynasty, the establishment of the Han Dynasty after the king of Huainan, and Han Xin, Peng Yue and called the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty, 196 years ago against the Han, was killed for the crime of rebellion.

Yingbu is a descendant of Gaotao, the fifty-ninth grandson of Gaotao, a native of the sixth of the Qin Dynasty (now Lu'an City, Anhui Province). "When he was in the prime of life, he broke the law and was sentenced to death. Yingbu smiled happily and said, "Someone showed me a picture and said that I should be king after being tortured, and now, this is probably the case, right?" Therefore, it is also called black cloth. Yingbu was later taken to Lishan as a military servant to build the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and Yingbu interacted with the leaders of the criminals, heroes and heroes, and later led some people to escape to other places to become thieves.

When Chen Sheng rebelled, Yingbu went to see Wu Rui, the commander of Fanxian County. and rebelled against the Qin Dynasty with his subordinates, gathering a contingent of several thousand people. [5] After Zhang Han had eliminated Chen Sheng and defeated Lü Chen's army, Yingbu led his troops north to attack the armies of Qin's left and right colonels, defeated them at Qingbo, and then led his troops eastward. I heard that Xiang Liang pacified Jiangdong Huiji and crossed the Yangtze River to the west, Chen Ying led his army to Xiang Liang because Xiang had been the general of Chu for generations, and crossed the Huai River to the south, and General Yingbu and Pu also took the army to Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang led his division across the Huai River and marched westward. In the battle against Jing Ju, Qin Jia and others. Yingbu is brave and good at fighting, and is always at the top of the army. When Xiang Liang arrived at Xue Di and heard that Chen Sheng was indeed dead, he supported the king of Chu Huai. Xiang Liang is known as Wu Xinjun. Yingbu is the king of the sun. Xiang Liang was defeated and died in Dingtao. King Huai of Chu moved his capital to Pengcheng. The generals and Yingbu also gathered in Pengcheng to guard. At this time, the Qin army stepped up its siege of Zhao, and Zhao repeatedly sent people to ask for help. King Huai of Chu sent Song Yi as a general. Fan Zeng served as the last general, Xiang Yu served as the second general, and Yingbu and Pu generals were all generals, all of whom belonged to the commander of Song Yi and went north to rescue Zhao. [8] Xiang Yu sent Yingbu to take the lead in crossing the Yellow River to attack the Qin army, Yingbu repeatedly made military exploits to have an advantage, Xiang Yu led all the men and horses to cross the Yellow River, and Yingbu fought together, so he defeated the Qin army, after the Qin general Zhang Han surrendered, Xiang Yu led the army to the west to Xin'an, and sent Yingbu and others to lead the troops to attack and bury more than 200,000 people under Zhang Han alive at night. When they arrived at Hangu Pass, they were not allowed to enter, and they sent Yingbu and others to defeat the army guarding the pass from the hidden path before they were able to enter the pass and reach Xianyang all the way. Yingbu often served as the vanguard of the army.

In 206 B.C., when Xiang Yu divided the world, Li Yingbu was the king of Jiujiang, set the capital in six, and ruled Jiujiang (county Zhishouchun, now Shou County, Anhui) and Lujiang (Junzhi Shu County, now southwest of Lujiang, Anhui) two counties. In the same year, the princes all left King Xiang's base camp and returned to their own feudal kingdoms. 项羽拥立怀王为义帝，迁都长沙，却暗中命令九江王英布等人，在半路上偷袭他。 In August of that year, Yingbu sent generals to attack Emperor Yi and chase him to Chenxian to kill him. After the beginning, in 205 BC, Tian Rong, the king of Qi, betrayed the state of Chu, and the king of Xiang went to attack the state of Qi and recruited troops from Yingbu. Liu Bang defeated the Chu army in Pengcheng, and Yingbu excused himself from being seriously ill and did not go to assist the Chu state. Xiang Yu resented Yingbu because of this, and repeatedly sent messengers to rebuke Yingbu and summon him to go, but Yingbu became more and more panicked and did not dare to go. Xiang Yu was worried about Qi and Zhao in the north, and Liu Bang was worried about Liu Bang in the west, and only Yingbu was the only one who knew him, and he valued Yingbu's talents, and planned to get close to him and appoint him, so he didn't attack him. In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang attacked the state of Chu and launched a large-scale war in Pengcheng, and after the defeat, he retreated from Liangdi and came to Yu County, saying to those close to him: "People like you are not worthy to plan the world's great affairs together." Sui He, who was in charge of delivering the report, said, "I don't understand what Your Majesty means. Liu Bang said: "Who can send an envoy to Huainan for me, let them launch an army, betray the state of Chu, and contain King Xiang in the state of Qi for a few months, and I will be foolproof if I seize the world." Sui He said: "I ask to send an envoy to Huainan." Liu Bang gave him twenty men to accompany him to Huainan. After arriving, because Dazai was the master, he waited for three days and couldn't see Yingbu. Sui He took the opportunity to lobby Dazai and said: "If Yingbu does not summon me, he must think that the Chu State is strong and the Han State is weak, which is the reason why I sent the envoy. that if my words are right, that is what Yingbu wants to hear, and that if my words are not right, let us twenty lie down on the chopping board and chop them to death with axes in Huainan Square. In order to show that Yingbu betrayed the Han State and was close to the heart of the Chu State. Dazai then relayed the message to the king of Huainan, who received him. Sui He said: "Liu Bang, the king of Han, sent me respectfully to Shuyingbu to drive, and I privately felt strange why you were so close to the state of Chu. Yingbu said, "I will serve him as a courtier facing north." Sui He said: "The king and the king of Xiang are both listed as princes, and they serve him as courtiers in the north, they must think that the state of Chu is strong and can entrust the country to him." When Xiang Yu attacked the Qi State, he personally carried the tools to build the wall, and took the lead, and the king should dispatch all the people of Huainan and personally lead them to be the vanguard of the Chu army, and now only send 4,000 people to help the Chu State. Liu Bang fought in Pengcheng, and King Xiang had not yet sent troops to Qi State, so you should mobilize all the men and horses in Huainan to cross the Huai River and help Xiang Yu and Liu Bang meet day and night under Pengcheng. You have a crowd of 10,000 people, but not one of them has crossed the Huai River, and this is to watch which of them wins and who loses. Is this what the people who entrust the country to others are like in the first place? You have an empty name of returning to the state of Chu. But he wants to rely on himself solidly, and I privately think that it is not advisable for the king to do so. However, you don't turn your back on the Chu State, you think that the Han State is weak. Even though the army of Chu was strong, it bore a reputation for injustice in the world, because he broke his covenant and killed Emperor Yi. However, the king of Chu thought he was strong by virtue of the victory in the war, and after Liu Bang collected the princes, he returned to the division to garrison Chenggao and Xingyang, transported grain from Shu and Han, and dug deep trenches. Build high barriers. The division of troops guarded the border fortress, and if the Chu State wanted to withdraw its army, it would be separated by the Liang State in the middle, and it would penetrate eight or nine hundred miles into the enemy's territory. I want to fight. Then you can't win. The siege of the city could not be captured, and the old and weak soldiers traveled thousands of miles away to transport grain; when the Chu army reached Xingyang and Chenggao, Liu Bang's army held on. The attack could not be broken, but the retreat could not escape the pursuit of the Han army. Therefore, the army of Chu is not enough to rely on. If the Chu army defeats the Han army, then the princes themselves are afraid of their own danger and must rescue each other. Once the state of Chu is strong, it will just attract the attack of the world's army. Therefore, the state of Chu is not as good as the state of Han, and the situation is obvious. Now that you are not friendly with the foolproof Han State, but you have entrusted yourself to the State of Chu, which is in danger, I am privately puzzled for you. I don't think Huainan's army is enough to destroy the state of Chu. As long as you send troops to betray the Chu State, Xiang Yu will definitely be contained, as long as it is restrained for a few months, Liu Bang will be foolproof in seizing the world. I ask you to carry the sword to the Han Kingdom, Liu Bang will definitely divide the land and give it to the king, not to mention this Huainan, Huainan must be yours. Therefore, Liu Bang solemnly sent envoys to offer immature strategies, and I hope you will seriously consider them. Yingbu said, "Follow your advice." "Secretly promised to betray Chu and return to Han, but he didn't dare to reveal this secret. At this time, the envoy of the state of Chu was also in Huainan, and he couldn't wait to urge Yingbu to send troops and stay in the hotel. Sui He went straight in, sat on the seat of the envoy of the state of Chu, and said, "The king of Jiujiang has been attached to the king of Han, why did the state of Chu let him send troops?" The envoy of the State of Chu stood up and wanted to leave. Sui He took the opportunity to persuade Yingbu and said: "The great thing has been accomplished, we can kill the envoy of the Chu State, and we can't let him go back, so we hurry up and move closer to Han and fight together." Yingbu said, "Just follow your instructions and send troops to attack the state of Chu." So he killed the envoy and sent troops to attack the state of Chu. Xiang Yu sent troops to defeat Yingbu, who fled to Liu Bang. When the king of Huainan arrived, Liu Bang was sitting on the bed washing his feet, so he called Yingbu to meet him. Seeing this, Yingbu was furious, regretted coming, and wanted to commit suicide. When he withdrew and came to the hotel prepared for him, Yingbu was overjoyed to see that the curtains, utensils, food, and attendants and officials were as luxurious as Liu Bang. Later, Yingbu sent people to Jiujiang to recruit thousands of people from the old army, and the king of Han allocated some troops to him, and his power was restored. In 203 BC, Liu Bang made Yingbu the king of Huainan. In 202 BCE, Yingbu led his army to Qixia to join up with other Han armies to defeat Xiang Yu, who committed suicide in Wujiang (present-day Hexian, Anhui) shortly thereafter.

After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang was proclaimed emperor, and Yingbu, the king of Huainan, became one of the princes with different surnames. Yingbu took six as the capital (now Lu'an, Anhui), and the areas under its rule included Jiujiang, Lujiang, Hengshan, Yuzhang and other counties. [28] In the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty (196 BC), Empress Gao killed the Marquis of Huaiyin, so Yingbu was terrified. 这年夏天，汉王诛杀了梁王彭越，并把他剁成了肉酱，又把肉酱装好分别赐给诸侯。 Sent to Huainan, Yingbu was hunting, and when he saw the meat sauce, he was particularly afraid, so he secretly made people deploy, gathered troops, and waited and reconnoitred the unexpected alarm of the neighboring counties. Yingbu's favored concubine was sick and asked for treatment, the doctor's house and the middle doctor's house lived opposite the door, and the concubine went to the doctor's house for treatment many times, and Ben He thought that he was a servant, so he sent a rich gift and drank with the concubine in the doctor's house. When the concubine served Yingbu, she talked comfortably and unhurriedly, and praised Ben Hyuk as a loyal and honest person. Yingbu said angrily, "How do you know?" and the concubine told him all about their relationship. The king of Huainan suspected that she was having an adulterous relationship with Ben He. Ben Hyuk was frightened and excused himself for not going to work. Yingbu is even more angry and wants to arrest Ben-hyuk. Ben He wanted to denounce Yingbu's rebellion, so he took a stagecoach to Chang'an. Yingbu sent men to chase after them, but they did not catch up. When Ben Hyuk arrived in Chang'an, he wrote a letter to tell him that Yingbu had signs of rebellion and could kill him before the rebellion. Liu Bang read his report and discussed it with Xiao He, Xiao He said: "Yingbu shouldn't have such a thing, I'm afraid it was because of a grudge against him." Please imprison Ben He and send someone to secretly verify the King of Huainan. Seeing that Ben He was afraid of the crime and absconding, Yingbu wrote a letter to change, and already doubted that he would tell the situation he had secretly arranged, but the envoys of the King of Han came again, and with considerable verification, he killed Ben He's entire family and rebelled. When the news of the rebellion reached Chang'an, the emperor released Ben He and made him a general. Liu Bang summoned the generals and asked, "Yingbu rebelled, what should I do with him?" The generals all said: "Send troops to beat him and bury this kid alive, what else can I do!"[33] Xiahou Ying, Marquis of Ruyin, summoned Yin Xue Gong, the former commander of the state of Chu, to ask about this. Ling Yin said: "He should have rebelled. Xiahou Ying said: "The emperor divided the land and made him king, gave him a knighthood to make him noble, and faced the south to listen to the government and set up as the lord of ten thousand vehicles, why did he rebel?" Ling Yin said: "In the previous year, he killed Peng Yue and Han Xin the year before last, these three people have the same merit, and they are people who are one, so they will naturally suspect that the disaster will affect themselves, so they rebelled." Xiahou Ying told Liu Bang these words and said: "My disciple is Yin Xue Gong, the original commander of the State of Chu, this person is very strategic, you can ask him." Liu Bang summoned Xue Gong. Xue Gong replied: "The Yingbu rebellion is not surprising. If Yingbu had made the best plan, the Shandong region would not have been owned by the King of Han; if the middle policy had been calculated, it would be difficult to say who would have won and who would have lost; and if the next policy had been calculated, His Majesty would have peace of mind. Liu Bang said, "What is the best policy?" Xue Gong replied: "Seize Wu to the east, Chu to the west, annex Qi, occupy Lu, and pass on a piece of paper, telling Yan and Zhao to stick to his homeland, and the Shandong region will no longer belong to the king of Han." Liu Bang asked again: "What is the middle policy?" Xue Gong replied: "Conquer Wu to the east, capture Chu to the west, annex Korea and occupy Wei, occupy Ao Yu's grain, and block the main road of Chenggao, it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose." Liu Bang asked again: "What is the next policy?" Xue Gong replied: "Seize Wu to the east, Xia Cai to the west, move the baggage treasures to the Yue Kingdom, and run to Changsha by yourself, Your Majesty can rest easy." The Han Dynasty will be fine. Liu Bang said, "Which strategy will Yingbu choose?" Xue Gong replied, "Choose the next strategy." Liu Bang said: "Why did he give up the upper and middle strategies and choose the lower policy?" Xue Gong said: "Yingbu was originally a prisoner in Lishan, and he worked hard to become the master of ten thousand times, all for his own wealth, and did not take into account the people of today, and did not consider future generations, so he chose the next policy." Liu Bang said: "That's a good point. "Grant Xue Gong as the marquis of a thousand households. Canonized the prince Liu Chang as the king of Huainan. At the beginning of the Yingbu rebellion, he said to his generals: "The emperor is old and disgusted with war, so he must not be able to personally bring troops to come and send generals, the generals are only afraid of Huaiyin and Peng Yue, and now they are all dead, and the rest of the generals have nothing to fear." "So there was a rebellion. As Xue Gong expected, he attacked Jing to the east, and Liu Jia, the king of Jing, fled and died in Fuling. Yingbu hijacked all his troops and crossed the Huai River to attack the state of Chu. The state of Chu mobilized its army to fight against Yingbu between Xu and Gu, and the state of Chu divided its troops into three routes, wanting to adopt the strange strategy of mutual rescue. Someone advised General Chu: "Yingbu is good at fighting with soldiers, and the people have always feared him. Moreover, the art of war says: 'The princes fought the enemy in their own territory, and when the soldiers were in danger, they fled.' "Now the soldiers are divided into three routes, as long as they defeat one of our armies, the rest will run away, how can they rescue each other!" Yingbu defeated one of the armies, and the other two armies scattered and fled. Yingbu's army advanced westward, and the army of Liu Bang in the west of Qi County met Yingbu's army was very elite, and the emperor hid in the Yongcheng fortress and could not hold out. He looked at Yingbu from afar, and said to Yingbu from afar, "Why do you want to rebel?" Yingbu said, "I want to be the emperor!" The emperor was furious and scolded him, and then the two armies fought. Yingbu's army was defeated and fled, crossed the Huai River, stopped several times to fight, but it did not go well, and fled south of the Yangtze River with more than a hundred people. Yingbu originally intermarried with Fanxian Ling, therefore, Wu Hui (the grandson of Wu Rui), the king of Changsha mourning, sent someone to lure Yingbu, falsely claiming to flee with Yingbu, and tricked him into escaping to South Vietnam, so Yingbu believed him and followed him to Fanyang, and the Fanyang people killed Yingbu in the houses of the people of Zixiang, and finally destroyed Yingbu.
