The Hongmen Banquet was a turning point in Liu Bang's Xiangyu rivalry, and above the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu missed the perfect opportunity to kill Liu Bang, and later gave Liu Bang the base of Bashu, allowing him to cultivate and recuperate, develop and grow, and if Xiang Yu killed the killer, history would become another picture.
Today, I want to talk about the last year of the Tang Dynasty, and there was also a Hongmen feast that determined the direction of China's later dynasties.
In the twilight years of the Tang Dynasty, the central government of the Tang Dynasty was no longer able to control the self-respect of the troops in various places, and in the second year of Qianfu (875), the peasant rebel army led by Huang Chao and others was huge, and once occupied Chang'an, although the later uprising failed, but the Tang Dynasty, which had lost control of the army, completely broke its bones.
Zhu Wen led his men and horses to make a great contribution to the military campaign to suppress Huang Chao, and in the second year of Zhonghe (882), Zhu Wen led an army to submit to the Tang Central Dynasty, which made Emperor Tang very happy, thinking that he had a minister of Sheji. Therefore, he was appointed as xuanwu jiedushi envoy, and later made him the king of Liang again.
Zhu Wen was actually a very ambitious person, if people who are familiar with history understand that the Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the division of the feudal towns, and Zhu Wen was the direct promoter of the demise of the Tang Empire, and after he was crowned king of Liang, he desperately developed his army and forces in Hebei and other places.
In the first year of Tianfu (901), Zhu Wen led a large army of Liang guo into Tujing Division, taking control of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Zhaozong became a puppet, and the increasingly ambitious Zhu Wen first killed Tang Zhaozong (904), and made his son Tang Aizong emperor.
At this time, Zhu Wen's power was very large, and the whole world was very afraid, but there was one person who was very difficult to deal with him, that is, the original Hedong Jiedu made Li Keyu use. In 884, Li Keyong led the Tang army to a decisive battle between the Rebels of Zhongmu and Huangchao, and achieved a very great victory.
According to historical records, the Tang army "took advantage of its half-help, fought hard, broke it, killed more than 10,000 people, and the thieves collapsed", which allowed Li Keyong to achieve a very large statement and status. Li Ke then returned to Hedong with his class.
At this time, Zhu Wen was the Assassin of Bian Prefecture and the emissary of Xuanwu Jiedushi. When Li Keyong passed through this place, he was warmly received by Zhu Wen. He feasted warmly to comfort the soldiers who had returned with victory. In fact, Zhu Wen, who has ambitions to plot the world, believes that Li Keyong, who has a lot of money and food in Hedong, will be a big problem for his confidants.
Therefore, he set up a banquet on the one hand, and quietly prepared a sword and axe hand, but Zhu Wen and Li Ke used both Tang Dynasty officials, and Zhu Wen could not come up with the idea of whether to do it for a while.
As a result, during the banquet that night, Li Ke was drunk with drunken tinctures, mocked Zhu Wen in every way, and his mouth was not inferior, Zhu Wentun killed the machine, and that night sent troops to surround Li Ke's resting post Shangyuanyi, hoping to annihilate him and his army in one fell swoop, fortunately, Li Ke was awakened by his surrounding cronies and rushed out of the siege under the desperate protection of his own soldiers. This is the famous change of Shangyuanyi.
Zhu Wen's achievements were lost, but since then, the two sides have been like water and fire. Emperor Xianzong of Tang mediated from this, and in order to appease Li Keyong, he sat in Hedong and made him the King of Jin.
Later, Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang and established Later Liang, and Li Keyong in Hedong immediately openly declared that the emperor opposed Zhu Wen, and still established the country under the name of Tang Guo, which was known as Later Tang and Liang and Tang, and many wars broke out between Zhu Wen and Tang, and Zhu Wen replaced the Tang Dynasty and unified most of China, but he was never able to eliminate the Later Tang.
Later, Li Keyong's son Li Cunxun led an army to destroy the Later Liang Dynasty that Zhu Wen had cultivated. Became the winner of this feast. Although Zhu Wen and Xiang Yu chose differently, they also lost the world.
