preface
Liu Bang was the founder of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty he founded lasted for more than 400 years.
It can be said that from ancient times to the present, Liu Bang is an emperor who has been sought after by countless people, and he is sought after because he has many outstanding points.
As we know, his strategy is not as good as Zhang Liang's, his talent is not as good as Xiao He's, and his ability to command troops to fight is not as good as Han Xin's. However, it is such a person who has actually won the country.
This is by no means something that ordinary people can do, but Liu Bang has done it. Therefore, Liu Bang has many advantages, and he is still worth learning from many people.
The superiority of him is great wisdom. His greatest wisdom is to know how to use people!
Liu Bang claimed that the empress had killed her benefactor, Duke Ding
There were many benefactors of Liu Bang, and among all the benefactors, the one he was most grateful to, besides Xiang Bo, should be Ding Gong, both of whom were Xiang Yu's subordinates.
However, they all saved Liu Bang's life.
Xiang Bo saved Liu Bang before and after the Hongmen Feast, and we have all learned this. Ding Gong saved Liu Bang after the Battle of Pengcheng, and we focus on Ding Gong.
At that time, Liu Bang led an army of more than 500,000 people and was defeated by Xiang Yu's 30,000 cavalry. After Liu Bang failed, he fled, and on the way he met his son and daughter.
Liu Bang's driver Xiahou Bao got Liu Bang's son and daughter into a car to escape, and the general who pursued and killed Liu Bang at this time was Ding Gong.
We all know that in order to be able to escape, Liu Bang threw his son out of the car and his daughter again. However, in the end, he did not escape, or was caught by Ding Gong.
Originally, if Ding Gong handed Liu Bang over to Xiang Yu, Liu Bang would burp, and there would be nothing for Liu Bang to do in the future. However, at that time, Liu Bang said good things to Ding Gong and let Ding Gong let him go.
For the sake of Ding Gong's future, he agreed to Liu Bang. In Ding Gong's view, Liu Bang is also a figure, and the current situation is whether Liu Bang wins the world or Xiang Yu wins the world, the situation is not clear.
Therefore, Liu Bang could not be offended, and in the future, if Liu Bang and Xiang Yu got the throne, any one of them would be rewarded.
Therefore, he let Liu Bang go.
However, after Liu Bang really became emperor, Duke Ding came to Liu Bang for a reward. When Liu Bang saw Ding Gong, he directly asked him to tie him up.
Then, Ding Gong told all the soldiers that if Ding Gong hadn't let me go, it wouldn't be me who would be emperor today. It's Xiang Yu. Therefore, the person who died in Xiang Yu's world was Ding Gong.
Therefore, such unfaithful and unjust people must be killed, so Ding Gong was killed by Liu Bang.
Liu Bang claimed that the empress dowager rewarded the enemy Ji Bu
Liu Bang had many enemies, and the generals under Xiang Yu's account could be said to be his enemies. One of them was Ji Bu, who was one of the five famous generals under Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang gritted his teeth at him.
To put it bluntly, he made Liu Bang suffer a lot.
After Liu Bang became emperor, he listed Ji Bu as the most wanted criminal. In order to escape, Jib even became a slave and was sold and sold.
Later, there was a man named Zhu Jia, who recognized Jibu and bought Jibu at great expense. The Zhu family wanted to save Ji Bu's life, so he found Liu Bang's driver, Xiahou Bao.
The Zhu family told Xiahou Bao that Ji Bu was a hero, and you should not want him because he had followed Xiang Yu. Besides, when he listened to Xiang Yu's words at that time, he was loyal to his master, was this wrong?
Such people should not be crusaded. More importantly, Tybu was very talented, and if you forced him to the end of the road, he could flee to the Huns and flee to South Vietnam.
This is tantamount to driving the talents of the Han Dynasty to the opponent's country. Therefore, it is better to want Jibu than to release Jibu.
Xiahou Bao told Liu Bang about this matter, and liu Bang heard this truth, and then, he not only wanted to pardon Ji Bu, but also let Ji Bu become an official in the middle of the dynasty!
That's how Jib escaped.
Why is it said that Liu Bang rewarded his enemies and killed his benefactors to help him stabilize the country?
There is great wisdom in this.
The reason why Liu Bang wanted to kill his benefactor Ding Gong was to tell his subordinates that you must be loyal to your master in the future, otherwise, it would be the fate of Ding Gong.
To put it bluntly, At this time, Liu Bang was already an emperor, and he wanted to instill in his courtiers the concept and idea of a loyal master. Therefore, he wanted to use the Ding Gong sacrifice flag to teach all the ministers a lesson.
Ding Gong's disloyalty and injustice were the reasons for being killed by Liu Bang. Liu Bang did not want anyone to betray him in the future, so he had to kill such a person.
Similarly, Liu Bang rewarded Jibu with the same reason. Ji Bu has always been loyal to Xiang Yu, and he is loyal to Xiang Yu because he is Xiang Yu's subordinate, which is the duty that Ji Bu deserves.
Now that Xiang Yu is gone, Ji Bu can change to a new master, he reuses Ji Bu, Ji Bu is also loyal to him, and Ji Bu is getting bigger and bigger as an official, and in the Lü Hou period, he also saved the Great Han Jiangshan.
At that time, the Xiongnu were born to write love letters to Lü Hou, and Fan Duo wanted to go on a crusade against the Xiongnu, in fact, the great Han national strength at that time could not defeat the Xiongnu. It was Ji Bu who gave Lü Hou the right advice, which made Lü Hou endure for a while and avoid the war between Han and Hungary. Therefore, Liu Bang was really consolidating and maintaining their family's jiangshan at that time by killing benefactors and rewarding enemies.
