Liu Bang exiled Peng Yue for treason, and after Peng Yue met Lü Yue on the way to exile, he pleaded and hoped to return to his hometown of Changyi, and Lü Hou said a word, so that Peng Yue was willing to follow her back to Chang'an and was shown to the public, and Peng Yue's body was also made into soup by Lü Hou and distributed to each of the princes to drink to make an example.
Liu Bang hung his head on the city wall to show the public, and destroyed his three tribes, and also issued an order: those who dared to collect the body of Peng Yue should be killed. Soon, Luan Bu came to the city wall and wept at Peng Yue's head. Liu Bang was furious and was about to arrest Luan Bu for questioning.
Peng Yue was born in the last year of the Qin Dynasty, and during the war and horse chaos, he used to make a living fishing in Juye Lake Ze while leading a group of people to be robbers. After the news of Chen Sheng's uprising against Qin came, some young people encouraged him to take advantage of the chaos to engage in a career and gather people to oppose the Qin uprising.
Peng Yue was a little older, and according to the situation at that time, he believed that the two dragons were in contention at this time, and the time had not yet come, and it was necessary to wait for a year. A year later, the young people stirred up again, and Peng Yue agreed, gathering more than a hundred people to prepare for the uprising. However, Peng Yue had one request: that is, to make an appointment with them, and tomorrow the sun would come out and assemble, and the late people would be killed.
The next day, as soon as the east showed its belly white, Peng Yue waited for them at the agreed place, but there were still ten people who were late, and the last one who was late did not come until noon.
Since Peng Yue became the leader, he understood that it was impossible not to be a leader, and he said to these idle people: "Since you have chosen me as the leader, you must obey my orders, so many people are late today, and I cannot kill them one by one, if I just count it like this, I am afraid that it will not be a big thing in the future, and today I will only kill the person who is late at the end to make an example!" ”
The crowd thought he was laughing, and they dissuaded him, saying that this was the only time. Peng Yue ignored it, killed the man and sacrificed his human head to the heavens, and ordered everyone to do so. When everyone saw that Peng was more and more real, none of them were dissatisfied, none of them were afraid, and no one dared to disobey the military orders after that.
Peng Yue led the first hundred or so people to seize land all the way, and along the way also collected various scattered soldiers, and soon the team grew to a thousand people. At this time, Peng Yue met Liu Bang in the Changyi generation and helped him fight, although it ended in failure, but the two became acquainted, and Peng Yue also grew the team again in this war, reaching 10,000 people.
Liu Bang had asked Peng Yue to lead his troops to help him attack Xiang Yu, and the battle was successful. Peng Yue was appreciated by Liu Bang.
In 205 years before the park, Peng Yue led a team of 30,000 people to submit to Liu Bang, and in one fell swoop, he recovered more than a dozen cities in the State of Wei, and was named by Liu Bang as Wei Cheng Xiang in charge of military power, assisting The King of Wei.
It is said that there was an agreement between Chu and Han: the chasm is the boundary, the west is Han, the east is Chu, and the strikers will return to each other.
Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, taking advantage of Xiang Yu's lead to the east, instigated Liu Bang to break the treaty and colluded with Han Xin and Peng Yue to completely destroy Chu.
Unexpectedly, Han Xin and Peng Yue did not respond, and at this time Zhang Liang analyzed that the two were looking for Liu Bang for merit, so it was better to calculate it, and if this battle was won, Han Xin would be made the King of Chu and Peng Yue the King of Wei. Liu Bang acquiesced.
When Han Peng and the two men heard the news, they raised an army to join Liu Bang. Ambushed on ten sides, embattled on all sides, the tragic story of the overlord Bieji and the king of Chu killing himself has also been triggered by this... Regarding this history, the death of the King of Chu has been written more by posterity, but few people know the story behind the winner.
In the Chu-Han War, Han was able to defeat Chu in three ways:
1. Liu Bang led the regular army to defend Xiang Yu head-on.
2. Han Xin's elite troops encircled Xiang Yu for thousands of miles.
3. Peng Yue's guerrilla forces harassed Xiang Yu's rear.
From Han Xin and Peng Yue's original behavior, it can be seen that the two are extremely ambitious, Liu Bang cannot help but guard against it, I am afraid that one day he will be gone, so it is not known if the people who have made great achievements in the lord will fight together to create the rebellion of his descendants.
In 202 BC, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, a great purge was carried out, and Peng Yue was crowned king of Liang. The King of Yan had great admiration for Xiang Yu, and when he learned of this, he simply rebelled. Liu Bang captured Zang Di alive and ordered his general Luan Bu to be beheaded.
Peng Yue and Luan Bu were good friends, and respected Luan Bu for sacrificing his life to avenge his master, so he strongly dissuaded Liu Bang from leaving loyal people behind and only killing the King of Yan. Liu Bang took his advice. Luan Bu saved his life, so he was particularly grateful to Peng Yue.
Peng Yue did this benevolently, but he made a big taboo when Liu Bang needed his loyalty the most.
In the autumn of 197 BC, Chen Feng rebelled on behalf of the country, and Liu Bang personally led his troops to go on a crusade, reached Peng Yue's territory, and recruited troops from Peng Yue. Peng Yue, however, had an opinion on Liu Bang's actions, and said that he was ill, and only sent his generals to Handan with his army.
Later, Peng Yue hesitated and wanted to personally apologize in turn, but his subordinates decided that Liu Bang had killed the hero and suggested that Peng Yue rebel, and Peng Yue did not listen to continue to pretend to be ill. Later, his Taipu absconded and went to Liu Bang to beat a rake saying that Peng Yue was going to rebel, and Liu Bang just wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Peng Yue.
But Liu Bang, grateful for Peng Yue's merits, eventually exiled him to his territory. On the way to exile, after Peng Yue met Lü, Peng Yue could not help but intercede with her, hoping to return to his hometown of Changyi. Lü Hou promised to restore the Liang King's fiefdom, so Peng Yue agreed to take the whole family back to Chang'an with Lü Hou.
Unexpectedly, Lü Hou was even more ruthless, and it is recorded in the "Records of History" that Lü Yan went back to Liu Bang and said such a sentence: Peng Yue zhuangshi also, now migrating to Shu, this self-inflicted disease.
When Liu Bang heard this, he killed Peng Yue and returned the three tribes. Lü Hou also made Peng Yue's body into soup and distributed it to other princes to make an example.
At this time, Luan Bu happened to rush back from the State of Qi, and seeing the benefactor's head hanging high, he couldn't help but make an altar on the spot to kneel down and cry out for him. Liu Bang was furious and wanted to kill him.
Luan Bu made a generous statement of righteousness: "If Peng Yue had defected to Xiang Yu instead of Gao Zu, I am afraid that this Jiangshan would not be yours now." Peng Yue said that the avoidance of illness is only a fear of being purged, but there is no intention of rebellion, all this Gao Zu you have a number in mind. Now that Peng Yue is dead, I don't want to live, so you will cook me to death. ”
When Liu Bang heard these words, he also felt guilty, but instead pardoned Luan Bu again and promoted him to an official. Later Luan Bu followed Emperor Jing to quell the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and was able to die well.
Luan Bu once said: "Poverty cannot be humiliated, and non-human beings are also people; rich and noble cannot be happy, and non-virtuous people are not virtuous." ”
