Liu Bang won the world, and Xiang Yu's subordinates, such as Zhong Zhong, chose not to surrender, and then fought and died, such as Ding Gong and others, who could descend. Being born as a human being, living is instinctive, as long as it is worthy of one's own conscience, there is not much to criticize.
Ding Gong's grace was like poison. Ding Gong was kind to Liu Bang, if he had not let Liu Bang go, Liu Bang would have hung up as early as the time of the attack on Pengcheng. However, after Liu Bang became emperor, Ding Gong was killed by Liu Bang as a traitor who betrayed Xiang Yu. Ding Gong certainly could not have imagined that his great kindness to Liu Bang would make himself the first to become the "chicken" of the terrifying monkey. Ding Gong did not understand psychology, so that Liu Bang was always aware of his worst past, and in comparison, Xiang Bo was much more shrewd.
In 202 BC, Liu Bang's army took the lead in entering the pass and fulfilled the agreement set by King Huai. At that time, someone advised Liu Bang to be king, and Liu Bang saw that the world was in his hands, how could he not be excited? Therefore, he was momentarily proud and forgot that there was a super boss Xiang Yu behind him, so as soon as Xiang Yu came, the two sides were tense.
Fan Zeng, the strategist under Xiang Yu's account, wanted to kill Liu Bang even more thoughtfully, obviously, if he didn't kill him, Xiang Yu would have some bitterness in the future, and Xiang Yu also had some heart, after all, the emperor's throne was too tempting, and it was difficult to be calm. Therefore, he set up a feast at the Hongmen Gate and invited Liu Bang to come and talk sincerely, and by the way, to see if he could get rid of the hidden dangers in the future in one fell swoop.
This top-secret news, after Being known to Xiang Bo, failed halfway. It turned out that Xiang Bo was a man of great affection and righteousness, and when he learned that Xiang Yu had the intention of killing Liu Bang, he quickly ran to Liu Bang's military camp and told his benefactor Zhang Liang to let Zhang Liang go with him. It turned out that The Chu state of Zuo Yin Xiangbo accidentally killed someone and was saved by Zhang Liang, who had always remembered Zhang Liang's great kindness. Hearing that Zhang Liang will soon have great difficulties, how could he not be in a hurry?
Xiang Bonan fulfilled the Xiang family's Xiang Bo for his nephew, so the situation was different from that of Ding Gong, because his kindness to Liu Bang was a kind of help, one of the many conditions for Liu Bang to escape from danger, although the most critical, but not the only one.
.................................................................
In the first year of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Liu Bang's army took the lead in entering Guanzhong, Qin Zi infant Kaicheng surrendered, and the Qin Dynasty was completely destroyed. Someone advised Liu Bang to be the King of Guanzhong, but Liu Bang was momentarily oblivious and obeyed. Xiang Yu came to the front of Hangu Pass, and when he saw that the gate was closed, he arranged a military plan to break through Hangu Pass and eliminate Liu Bang.
Xiang Bo was Xiang Yu's uncle, Zuo Yin (equivalent to a vice chancellor) of the Chu state at the time, who had killed someone, and Zhang Liang thought that he would be spared, so he befriended Zhang Liang. At this time, Zhang Liang was in Liu Bang's military camp, and in order to keep Zhang Liang from being affected, he rushed to Liu Bang's camp overnight to tell Zhang Liang to follow him and leave quickly. Zhang Liang, on the pretext of greeting Liu Bang, told Liu Bang all the truth of the matter.
Liu Bang felt that his strength was not enough to confront Xiang Yu, so he asked Zhang Liang what to do? At Zhang Liang's suggestion and peace, Liu Bang and Xiang Bo met and showed their attitude of not being enemies of Xiang Yu. Liu Bang successfully persuaded Xiang Bo, and the two also formed a family of children. Xiang Bo also asked Liu Bang to rush to Xiang Yu's camp early the next morning and apologize to Xiang Yu before Xiang Yu could issue an order to the army.
Xiang Bo left the Han camp and returned to Xiang Yu's side, told Xiang Yu every word about Liu Bang, and persuaded Xiang Yu not to kill Liu Bang. After that, there is the famous "Hongmen Feast" story. At the banquet, Fan Zeng still wanted to take the opportunity to kill Liu Bang, because Xiang Yu had already been persuaded by Xiang Bo, so Xiang Yu did not express it. Fan Zeng took matters into his own hands, summoned Xiang Zhuang, and assassinated Liu Bang in the name of dancing swords. Xiang Bo saw Xiang Zhuang's intentions and used his body to cover Liu Bang, so that Xiang Zhuang never had a chance to start. Later, under the cover of Zhang Liang and Fan Duo, Liu Bang was able to escape from the Chu camp and return to his own camp. In the process of dividing the princes, although Xiang Yu did not make Liu Bang the King of Guanzhong as promised, he still gave him the title of King of Han.
The difference between Xiang Bo and Ding Gong is that Ding Gong is completely facing an enemy leader, and letting go of such a person is completely disloyal to his own camp as a whole; while Xiang Bo is different, as long as Liu Bang submits, everyone is still "their own people". At that time, even if Liu Bang was released, it was also some factors considered by the Xiang clique as a whole, you know, Xiang Yu also sealed seventeen princes and killed Liu Bang, what would the other princes think? Won't the world be in chaos right away?
Judging from the subsequent development of facts, the first person to rise up against Xiang Yu was not Liu Bang, but the Tian clan of the State of Qi. Therefore, Xiang Bo was able to speak for Liu Bang, both private and righteous. Moreover, at that time, Liu Bang wanted only a king, not the Xiang clan world. Even if Liu Bang didn't want to give Xiang Bo what title, what kind of crime would he give Xiang Bo'an? Liu Bang rebelled against Xiang Yu, and one of the excuses was that Xiang Yu killed the King of Chu Huai.
Liu Bang, the King of Han, was a vassal of Xiang Yu and was a subordinate of Xiang Liang in the early days, giving Xiang Bo a knighthood was both a reward for Xiang Bo and an account of his past. After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang vigorously pursued and killed Xiang Yu's subordinates, but did not kill the people of the Xiang family, they were given the surname Liu, and Xiang Bo was also given the title of Marquis of Sheyang, whose fiefdom was located on the shores of Sheyang Lake in the eastern part of present-day Baoying County.
