In ancient times, there was a special group of people, who were not famous for their horizontal knives, but in the military tent, not only clever, but also "insight into the heavenly opportunity", so that future generations of people admired. For example, Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, who was born in a famous family, assisted Liu Bang in achieving hegemony. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also had such a cattle man around him, he was also from a famous family (a descendant of Liu Guangshi), and he was also full of wisdom, if there was no Liu Bowen, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to defeat Chen Youyu and other opponents, and I am afraid that there would be no Ming Dynasty. However, Liu Bowen once visited Zhang Liang's cemetery and was reluctant to kneel, but he did not expect that Zhang Liang had already left 11 words, and Liu Bowen immediately prostrated his head after seeing it.
First of all, Zhang Liang, he is a descendant of the Korean minister, because his ancestors were destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, determined to oppose Qin, and by chance, he met Liu Bang of Pei County, and the two have been close since then. Since then, Zhang Liang has helped Liu Bang resolve crises many times, discussing wisdom and strategy, and being the first person in the early Han Dynasty. It was known as one of the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty" by later generations, and had the reputation of "seeking sainthood". It's just that after he became famous, he did not covet power, retired to the Yellow Robe Mountain, and ended up in The Yellow Robe Mountain, which Sima Qian called: decisive victory over a thousand miles.
More than 1500 years later, Liu Ji (Zi Bowen), the sixth grandson of the Song Dynasty anti-Jin general Liu Guangshi, was born in Qingtian, Zhejiang, because he did not want to be with the violent rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, he lived in seclusion and was invited to Nanjing by Zhu Yuanzhang. At that time, when Chen Youyu was attacking Anqing and seeing that he was about to follow the Yangtze River to Nanjing, some civilian officials under Zhu Yuanzhang believed that the enemy's strength was too great, and for the time being, they should negotiate peace with Chen Youyu (in fact, surrender), and only Liu Bowen suggested to lure the enemy to go deeper and use tactics to win a great victory over the opponent. Since then, he has gained enough trust from Zhu Yuanzhang to become Zhu Yuanzhang's most important adviser.
After the Battle of Poyang Lake, Liu Bowen once followed Zhu Yuanzhang through Qingyan Mountain, he left the military camp alone, and went to visit Zhang Liang's tomb specifically, at that time Chen Youyu had perished, Zhu Yuanzhang's family was dominant, only Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen's two forces were not eliminated, but in fact, they were not afraid. Liu Bowen prides himself on his ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Liang, and he is full of spirit and quite proud. Before coming to Zhang Liang's tomb, Liu Bowen did not kneel to worship his predecessors, and also said 10 words lightly: "Liu Berwen, comparable to the Han Chuzi Room!" "Quite disrespectful of the predecessors, contempt for Zhang Liang' meaning." When Liu Bowen circled around Zhang Liang's tomb, he turned his head and found that behind the tombstone, there were even words, Liu Bowen rubbed the moss on it with his hand, only to see that it was written: There is Liu in the millennium, Liu kneels!
Liu Bowen was suddenly stunned, immediately knelt down and prostrated his head, and hurried away. After that, if someone compared him with Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bowen always resigned and did not dare to call Zhang Liang together. Because Zhang Liang had already calculated his arrival more than a thousand years ago, and he did not have the ability to calculate who would be after a thousand years.
Judging from the ending, Liu Bowen is indeed inferior to Zhang Liang, Zhang Lianggong became famous and retreated and retreated, single-mindedly pursuing the Tao, while Liu Bowen did not get all the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years, but died at the hands of Hu Weiyong. Liu Berwen, in the end, still lost to Han Chuzifang. Regarding the two historical figures, who do you think is better?
