Xiang Yu was full of spirit at that time, and he had not been defeated in the conquest for many years, and he was bent on leading his subordinates to engage in a career, and whoever saw Xiang Wang was subservient. Chen Ping and Fan Zeng are both great strategists with lofty hearts and superior wisdom, why did Chen Ping run away in the end, leaving Fan Zeng alone to support the scene?
Not only that, this only Fan Zengxiangyu could not be used, and finally ended up running away in a negative mood and dying in the middle of the road. In contrast, Liu Bang's men not only have many talents, but also can control well, balance well, three people and three lines, everyone has achieved the ultimate in their own field, it is really more popular than dead!
Liu Bang knew that people were good at use, and there were many good generals and strategists, and After the Feast of Hongmen, Chen Ping, a subordinate of King Xiang, intended to defect
Unlike Xiang Yu, who can carry Ding, Liu Bang is not beautiful, not strong, not miserable, and there is almost no advantage of "sucking powder" on his body. But he is very self-aware, and what he can't do on his own, he lets professional people do it. And as a leader, he is not ambiguous in decision-making, and he can always make the most correct judgment in complex situations and implement it immediately.
This leadership style of Liu Bang attracted the attention of Xiang Yu's strategist Chen Ping, who had been obsessed with Liu Bang as early as the Hongmen Banquet. When Liu Bang was under house arrest in Xianyang City, he was distressed, so he asked the counselor Zhang Liang for help. Zhang Liang was also at a loss for words, and could not think of any good ideas for a while, so he let go and decided to go to Chen Ping, who intended to defect. Chen Ping and Zhang Liang were very close to each other when they saw each other, so the two sang red and white faces, lured away Fan Zeng, and rescued Liu Bang.
Liu Bang was trapped in Xingyang, and at the moment of crisis, Chen Ping came up with a plan to spread rumors and anger his father Fan Zeng
After that, during the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang was trapped in Xingyang again, and Chen Ping had already defected to Liu Bang at this time. Thinking about it, Chen Ping decided to release rumors, claiming that His father Fan Zeng and Liu Bang were going to destroy King Xiang and then divide the world. This rumor spread farther and farther, and Xiang Yu heard the sound of the wind.
This triggered Xiang Yu's suspicion of Fan Zeng. Xiang Yu is a person we always say that he is conceited, in fact, he is also afraid of this and that in his heart, so he vacated his father and did not let him participate in major affairs, which caused Fan Zeng to be very angry. Fan Zeng was 70 years old, participating in the alliance formed by Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, after Xiang Liang died in battle, he has been loyally following Xiang Yu, all at this age, he still has the need to defect, it is better to go home and retire.
Fan Zeng was angry at Xiang Yu's distrust, and before leaving, he said a word to King Xiang: "Most of the affairs of the world have been decided, and King Xiang is good to do it himself." When Fan Zeng joined the army, it was already an ancient rare year, and after several years of conquest, coupled with the outbreak of the Chu-Han War, this elderly strategist had long run out of oil. Fan Zeng died of "back gangrene" (it is not a big problem even now), and he was unable to return to Pengcheng before his death.
In this way, Liu Bang took Chen Ping's counter-plan to get rid of Fan Zeng, the most famous strategist under Xiang Yu. Fan Zeng was the main warrior faction and resolutely opposed the negotiation of peace, and if he had listened to him earlier, Liu Bang would not have had the opportunity to jump around for so long.
The good general Ji Xin came up with a plan and a plan to move the tiger away from the mountain
On the battlefield of Xingyang, it has always been in a situation where Xiang is strong and Liu is weak. Relying only on the divisive meter could only lead Fan Zeng away, and Liu Bang was still unable to get out of Xingyang City. Delaying the time, Liu Bang is likely to become a prisoner of Xiang Yu, so the divisive plan can only be part of the plan but not the whole. In the unfavorable situation, why was Liu Bang able to smoothly escape from Xingyang City unscathed?
On the frontal battlefield, there were other people who helped Liu Bang, so that Liu Bang could blind Xiang Yu's eyes and save himself. After Chen Ping used the divisive plan, there was a person who stepped forward, and this person was Ji Xin. Ji Xin appeared in the Hongmen Banquet, when Liu Bang brought 4 military generals to the Hongmen Banquet, including Ji Xin. Ji Xin saw that the situation was critical, and the King of Han was trapped in the city, so he took the initiative to come forward and say to Liu Bang: "Please ask the King of Han to give me your clothes." ”
So Liu Bang took off his clothes and gave them to him. Ji Xin put on Liu Bang's clothes, sat on the chariot and horse of the King of Han and incarnated as the "King of Han", and went out of the city to surrender. On the other hand, while he was stalling for time, Liu Bang sneaked away from the West Gate with a dozen of his own and fled.
Liu Bang ran away, naturally there were endless disasters, he had many strategists and generals around him, and when the time came, he would definitely be able to rise to the throne. If Fan Zeng had been by his side as a strategist, King Xiang would not have ended up letting Liu Bang go and killing Wujiang. Everything was Xiang Yu's own fault, and there were strategists who did not use it well, and it was too late to repent.
Xiang Yu, with his innate divine power and the status of a descendant of a famous general, is arrogant and arrogant, does not trust others, and listens to rumors and does not trust the loyal Ya Father Fan Zeng. Isolation is the result of his own self-inflicted wounds, and the strength of the individual is ultimately not enough to withstand a team. Liu Bang was born as a grass farmer, and he knew that he had almost no advantages in him, so he made good use of believing in the advice of others and repeatedly turned dangers into disasters. In the end, he defeated King Xiang, seized the world, and became Han Gaozu. Attitude is everything, and that may be what it means.
