Since the battle of Pengcheng in April of the second year of han (205 BC), Liu Bang defeated and retreated to Xingyang, and then Yingbu rebelled against Chu and slowed down Xiang Yu's westward offensive, the Chu-Han dispute began to enter a stalemate stage, until the first month of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Long He finally attacked Yingbu and led the Jiujiang army to reinforce to the Xingyang front, the strength of the Chu army was greatly enhanced, the time came to break the stalemate, Xiang Yu was the reason for the battle of Julu, and sent cavalry to attack the grain yongdao between Xingyang and Aocang, and the Han army was greatly embarrassed.
By April of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Ao Cang was actually attacked by the Chu army, and the situation became more and more urgent, and the fate of The King of Zhang Handan seemed to be repeating itself on Liu Bang. Without Ao Cang, a large barn, relying only on the grain and grass transported from Guanzhong Cao, it would be impossible to support Liu Bang and the Chu army to continue to fight a protracted war. Liu Bang had no plan, and Zhang Liang, Liu Bang's chief think tank, also had no plan. With nothing to do, Liu Bang was in a hurry and began to curse people every day, without the style of a king.
Cursing is certainly not something worth recommending to others, but it always has a reason to exist. No matter who has scolded a person he hates, he will always feel comfortable and happy, as if constipation has been caused by constipation for many days.
I believe that scolding is a way for Liu Bang to reduce stress, which is rude but very effective. In the future, even if Liu Bang became Gao Zu, he still broke out a few foul words from time to time, making the courtiers cry and laugh.
Regardless of the status, never lose its grassy nature, Han Gaozu can also be regarded as a strange flower among the emperors of the past.
However, Liu Bang would no longer scold people, and he could not solve the problem, and at the critical moment, Chen Ping, the second think tank of the Han Army, stepped forward and confidently announced - I have a way!
After Chen Ping belonged to Liu Bang, he first served as a lieutenant in the escort army, and then promoted to a lieutenant in the escort army. The so-called "protector" is actually the ancient military intelligence agency, the lieutenant is the highest person in charge of the military intelligence agency, its internal position is to supervise the generals on behalf of the king, and the external position is to carry out espionage activities, which is equivalent to the triple position of the US Homeland Security Bureau (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), its duties are very important, and later Cao Zhen, Sima Zhao, Zhou Yu, Li Yan and other important ministers in the Three Kingdoms also held such similar official positions. Therefore, Chen Ping is by no means just a courtier and a military master, his true identity is actually similar to Chiang Kai-shek's side of Dai Kasa and Chen Lifu, Hitler's side of Kanalis, Heydrich - his life is, is a magnificent life, but also a life of turbulence and secrecy, so Chen Ping also said in his later years: "I have many conspiracies, which is forbidden by the Taoists; I will accumulate my descendants, and I will accumulate many misfortunes." And how many secrets behind him, along with his death, are forever buried behind Shi Jian and will never be known."
Therefore, when Liu Bang found that his secret service leader had a way to deal with this dangerous situation, he immediately realized that Chen Ping's secret front might have made a major breakthrough, so he asked busily: What is the best strategy for Jun?
Chen Ping smiled: "Counter-plan!
I would like to hear more about it.
Answer: Xiang Wang's subjects, Ya Father, Zhong Liming, Long Ji, and Zhou Yin, but a few people's ears. The great king Chengcheng can donate tens of thousands of pounds of gold, bribe the Chu people, act against him, and doubt his heart; King Xiang is a man, he is afraid of believing in rumors, and he will be punished from within, and Han will attack him because he raises an army, and he will break Chu.
Unlike the stingy Xiang Yu, although Liu Bang came from a humble background, he has always been very generous, and he feels that as long as money can solve the problem, it is not a problem! So he immediately expressed support for Chen Ping's proposal: Goodness! But if you can cut off the claws and teeth of king Xiang, why should gold and silver be worried?
Moreover, as an old friend, Liu Bang knew his elder brother too well. Xiang Yu was not only stingy, but also suspicious, and Chen Ping's words were right in his weakness.
If you can get to know a person completely thoroughly, what other threat does that person pose to you?
So Liu Bang immediately took out forty thousand gold and handed it over to Chen Ping to use at will, no current accounts, no bill reimbursement, as long as you use as much, as long as there is an effect, the balance does not need to be returned to me, it is a reward for your hard work.
The key to the reversal of the Chu-Han rivalry. That's it.
In that year, Qin Shi Huang rebelled against Li Mu and gave Dun Weak 50,000 gold. Now Liu Bang rebelled against the Western Chu Junchen and also gave Chen Ping 40,000 gold funds for activities. To be an emperor, you just can't be too stingy, you should spend bold flowers, if you get the world, millions of gold, you can also get it at your fingertips, why bother with ten thousand gold. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was a person of honesty and courtesy, and his important ministers were also people of honesty and courtesy. Honesty and good manners are a good quality, but not a good quality of the emperor, the Ming Dynasty had a subjugated emperor named Chongzhen, the Qing Dynasty had a emperor who lost power and humiliated the country called Dao Guang, both of them were frugal to the point of slamming the door, what about the result?
Taking advantage of the huge amount of money allocated to him by Liu Bang, Chen Ping quickly expanded his intelligence apparatus and established the most developed intelligence network in the world at that time, and immediately organized several spy detachments to mix with the Chu army, bribe the Chu military cadets and generals, as well as Xiang Bo, Ding Gong, and other high-ranking officials of the Chu state, and spread rumors and rumors, saying: "The generals Zhong Liyi, Long Ji, Zhou Yin, and other generals were xiang wang generals, and they had done a lot of work, but in the end they could not break the land and the king, because they wanted to make peace with Han Lian and work together to destroy Chu and divide the king's land." ”

There are two of the most terrible things in the world, one is betrayal, the other is rumors. Betrayal makes people lonely, rumors make people flustered, Xiang Yutian is not afraid, and he is alone afraid of these two things.
Sure enough, Xiang Yu was deceived, he was afraid that Zhong Liming and the others would become the next Yingbu, so he became jealous, and gradually began to no longer trust the generals, and all military decisions were decided by themselves, striving for their own wisdom and obstinately going their own way.
Liu Bang, Yingbu, Zhong Liming, Long Ji, Zhou Yin... The good partners who destroyed Qin at the beginning, one by one betrayed, one by one, estranged, and the amorous Xiang Yu felt that he was collapsing day by day and falling into madness.
Who would have thought that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Tangtang Western Chu, would actually be destroyed in the hands of Chen Ping, a villain who was greedy for money and thief.

The two wise men around Liu Bang are beautiful men, Zhang Liang is known as "a good woman who looks like a woman", and Chen Ping is known as "a beautiful husband, such as a crown jade ear", which shows that a handsome man is not necessarily a sunny, good or weak person. If you go and search for the old photos, you will find that Dai Kasa, Chen Lifu, Kanaris, Heydrich, these vicious and vicious secret agent leaders are actually beautiful men! Gai Confucius said: "Take people by their appearance, and lose their sons and feathers." "Of course.
