Ben He, a key figure in the game between Liu Bang and Tuobu!

In 197 BC, after Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was executed by Liu Bang and Lü Hou, Tuobu had already begun to feel afraid.

Later, Peng Yue was also executed, and Liu Bang made his meat into sauce and gave it to the princes of various places, and the king of Huainan also had a portion.

When the emissaries of the imperial court arrived in Huainan, the king of Huainan, Tuobu, was hunting and was very frightened when he saw the meat sauce. After returning home, he secretly sent people to deploy an army to prepare to rebel against Liu Bang together with the county sheriff of the neighboring counties.

One of Tuobu's favorite concubines, one day, when she was sick, she went to see a doctor, and it happened that the doctor's family lived opposite the family of the Middle Doctor Ben He.

Ben he heard that Tuobu's concubine was ill, and prepared a generous gift, and Tuobu's concubine drank together at the doctor's house.

Here in the drinking is booming, Tuobu but at home can not find the concubine is in a hurry, some people say that the concubine to the doctor to see a doctor, Tuobu doubts, so long, not back, what is the end of what?

Tuobu immediately sent someone to the doctor's house to find someone, and the person who returned reported that the concubine was drinking with Ben He, the doctor, and was on his head, and Tuo Bu suspected that the concubine was having an affair with Ben He, and wanted to arrest Ben He and punish him.

Ben He also sensed that something seemed wrong, and quickly drove to Chang'an City to report Tuobu to Liu Bang, and dispatched troops to secretly contact the princes. Ben He said: There are already signs of Tuobu's rebellion, and I ask that he should be killed before he has even launched a rebellion.

Liu Bang read his report letter and asked Xiao He for his opinion, and Xiao He thought: Tuobu would not do such a thing, I am afraid that the enemy will falsely accuse him. You can arrest Ben He first, and then send someone to secretly inspect the Tuobu.

When Tuobu saw that Ben He fled to accuse Liu Bang of his crime, suspecting that he would tell the plot of his country, after the envoys of the Han Court came, they also checked out a lot of evidence, and Tuo Bu knew that there was no way back, so he killed The whole family of Guang Ben He and sent troops to rebel. After the report of the Tuobu rebellion came, Liu Bang pardoned Ben He and appointed him as a general.

Tuobu's rebellion this time has a great relationship with Ben He, originally Tuobu was still hesitating whether to rebel or not, and he was undecided, although he made preparations, but it was only a beginning, and he could stop at any time.

However, Ben He's escape gave TuoBu no time to hesitate, and as soon as Tuo He reported it, it meant that Tuo Bu's imagination in Liu Bang's mind had completely turned into an opposition.

Ben He, this person, is very strange, his identity is a middle doctor, not to become an official in the imperial court, but to run to huainan country, with the concubine of Tuobu, had to make people doubt his motives.

Although Tuobu was also suspicious, he only thought of fornication, after all, it was a young man, in fact, there was one more thing he did not think of, what if Ben He was not fornicating, but to steal intelligence?

Of course, the concubines that Tuobu loved were always with him, and the deployment of Tuobu's dispatched generals must have some understanding, if Ben He let the concubines steal the military defense map of Tuobu's rebellion, it was not impossible, in ancient times, there was no monitoring, the concubine was favored, and it was still very easy to take away the Tuobu's defense map.

Ben He just happened to take this thing with him, gave it to Liu Bang, reported Tuobu, and let Liu Bang just be prepared to deal with Tuobu's rebellion in advance, so Liu Bang gave him a reward for a general!

What do you think about that?
