In 205 BC, Chen Ping, who had lofty ambitions, advised Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, but was scolded for not surrendering to Xiang Yu, and even The strategy Xiang Yu offered by Chen Ping later was ignored, which made Chen Ping, as a strategist, feel greatly insulted.
At this time, Chen Ping was already changing hands for the second time, but after following Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, Chen Ping found more and more that Xiang Yu was just a reckless general who could not become a king, and at this time, Chen Ping's old friend Wei Wuzhi was working under Liu Bang, and Chen Ping, who had a relationship with Liu Bang, decided to go to Liu Bang.
After the introduction of his friend Wei Ignorant, Chen Ping and Liu Bang were very opportunistic, and Liu Bang made an exception to let Chen Ping directly serve as a lieutenant and keep him by his side to give advice, since then Chen Ping and Zhang Liang have become the two major strategists under Liu Bang's account, Zhang Liang is good at Yang plotting, and Chen Ping is good at conspiracy, and he has successively contributed six countermeasures for Liu Bang to help him clear the obstacle to the establishment of the cause.
A strategy to eliminate Fan Zeng
Chen Ping was able to gain Liu Bang's appreciation and reliance, and the important thing was that Chen Ping used exhaustive strategies to calculate, especially good at various "conspiracies" such as various divisive schemes and anti-interdiction schemes, and his first strategy under Liu Bang's account made Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, lose his adviser "Yafu" Fan Zeng.
At the most intense moment of the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu's army in Xingyang City for almost a year because of his lack of strength, and his grain, grass and troops were isolated by Xiang Yu layer by layer and could not enter, so Liu Bang repeatedly asked Xiang Yu for peace but was repeatedly rejected.
Under the circumstance that the lord Liu Bang was very worried, Chen Ping had a plan based on his understanding of Xiang Yu, and asked Liu Bang to take out 40,000 catties of gold to bribe some of the generals in Xiang Yu's army, and let these people spread: "Xiang Yu's account under Fan Yafu and Zhong Lixiao have the greatest merit, and they have agreed with Liu Bang to jointly eliminate Xiang Yu and divide the world!" ”
This divisive plan really aroused Xiang Yu's suspiciousness, and then in the future discussion there were major events Xiang Yu no longer discussed with Zhong Lixuan, and for Fan Zeng was even more rude, which also made Chen Ping's strategy initially achieve results, but for him it was far from enough, Chen Ping was ready to further isolate Xiang Yu.
And the opportunity soon came, once Xiang Yu's emissaries came to Liu Bang's camp, Chen Ping asked his men to prepare wine and good dishes, and constantly asked Fan Zeng about the latest situation and whether he had ordered them to be handed over during the banquet, but when the emissary said that he was sent by Xiang Yu, Chen Ping immediately changed his attitude, withdrew all the good wine and good dishes, and even took the emissaries to another simple house to serve with coarse tea and light rice.
This kind of serial divisive plan really made Xiang Yu's suspicions increase further, and at this time, Fan Zeng just gave Xiang Yu a plan to attack Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu ignored it, fan Zeng, who was insulted by this, felt very sad, and what made Fan Zeng sad the most was that when he asked Xiang Yu to resign, Xiang Yu actually sent someone to send him back to his hometown.
Chen Ping's divisive plan was very successful, not only removing the two major strategists under Xiang Yu's account, but also further weakening Xiang Yu's dominance, since then, Every step that Xiang Yu took was more by his own nature, while Liu Bang's strength in the subsequent Chu-Han dispute was constantly increasing.
Break the siege and save Liu Bang
Chen Ping's poisonous plan killed Fan Zeng, causing Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, to lose an important strategist under his account, which made Xiang Yu, who later learned of the situation, fire and send troops to attack Xingyang City, although Fan Zeng was removed with a plan, but at that time the strength of Xiang Yu's army was still far superior to Liu Bang's, and the situation became critical again.
At this time, Chen Ping had a plan, he first asked Liu Bang to write a fraudulent surrender letter to xiang Yu to meet at the East Gate, with Chen Ping's understanding of Xiang Yu's personality, the arrogant and confident Xiang Yu would definitely set up a large army outside the East Gate to wait for Liu Bang to surrender to him in person, but in fact, Chen Ping let Liu Bang escape from the West Gate disguised as an ordinary soldier.
Then, in order to stabilize Xiang Yu's suspicions, Chen Ping first led a general who looked like Liu Bang to pretend to surrender, and then sent two thousand women and asked them to put on Han armor and come out of the East Gate one by one, so that when the Chu army attacking the West Gate, The South Gate, and the North Gate heard that the East Gate was full of women, they rushed to the East Gate first.
This strategy can not be described as cruel, it is precisely by relying on the sacrifice of these two thousand women that Liu Bang and Chen Pingren were able to escape from the west gate of Xingyang City, and for Liu Bang, Chen Ping's strategy was extremely important to make himself successfully survive from Xiang Yu's hands, which was another indispensable thing for Chen Ping.
However, for the two thousand women in Xingyang City, Chen Ping's strategy was that they had suffered the humiliation of the Chu army and did not want to die, but Chen Ping should have thought of the consequences when he used this strategy, but for the safety of the lord Liu Bang, he had to make this decision, and in the future, Chen Ping could not imagine that his family was also destroyed at the hands of women.
Ruined by the evil
Under Liu Bang's hands, Chen Ping's plan really allowed Liu Bang to clear the obstacles of Emperor Cheng, and successfully seized the world from Xiang Yu's hands, in addition to using the plan to remove Fan Zeng and help Liu Bang escape from Xingyang City, Chen Ping also had the merits of having Liu Bang seal Han Xin as the King of Qi to stabilize the Han army, hunting Yun Mengze to ambush Han Xin, and privately meeting the Xiongnu queen to relieve the siege of Bai Deng.
It was also for this reason that after Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, in the case of Zhang Liang's half-retirement, Chen Ping became Liu Bang's most trusted and most relied minister, and Chen Ping's three changes of master finally became an extremely popular subject, successfully realized his ambitions, and became the prime minister in the Western Han Regime.
It is also because of the reason of multi-use conspiracy that Chen Ping once said on his deathbed: "I have many conspiracies, which is forbidden by the Taoists... In the end, it cannot be revived, and I am also a lot of yin and evil! These words were Chen Ping's prediction of his family's fate, but in the future, Chen Ping's prediction unfortunately became a reality.
Twenty-three years after Chen Ping's death, his grandson Chen He was executed by the imperial court for violating the wives of others, and the titles and fiefdoms that Chen Ping had obtained since the beginning were all abolished, and Chen Ping sacrificed 2,000 women to save Liu Bang, and now his descendants are also destroyed because of women.
Although Chen Ping's great-grandson Chen Zhang, who had a good relationship with Wei and other high-ranking officials and nobles during the Han Dynasty, and became close relatives with Emperor Wu of Han and Wei Qing, under Chen Zhao's many moves, the Chen family's dedication and fiefdom since Chen Ping could not be returned.
brief summary:
Chen Ping has a very clear understanding of the consequences caused by his actions, although the retribution will not appear on himself when Chen Ping is in the middle of the day, but this "yin disaster" eventually makes the Chen family unable to recover, and it has to be said that this is also a reincarnation.
