209 BC - 206 BC, Great Qin State of China
In the era of the Great Qin Kingdom of China, the world was in turmoil, and Zhang Liang, a famous military strategist and strategist, worked hard for the peace of the country, offered countless suggestions for Liu Bang, and helped Liu Bang turn evil into good fortune and win every evil time and again.
However, his last strategy shook Liu Bang around him and became an indelible legend in history.
The story takes place in 207 BC, when Liu Bang conquered the Central Plains and captured Handan, the capital of Zhao, and controlled Zhao's soldiers, horses, food and wealth.
At this time, Liu Bang's army was fluctuating, food and grass were scarce, and they were exhausted. Zhang Liang knew Liu Bang's difficulties, he thought about it again and again, and decided to offer a plan to help.
He came to Liu Bang's tent in the dead of night and said to Liu Bang: "Your Majesty, I have a plan to make the world know Your Majesty's wisdom, and to make everyone in the world praise Your Majesty's courage and wisdom. ”
When Liu Bang heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "What is Zhang Liang's opinion?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if there are many powerful people today, it is better for you to act like a tiger and a wolf, and deceive the heavens and the earth, lure the heroes to their own places, let them fight endlessly, and then stand by to attack, cut off their endless reinforcements, and make them kill each other." ”
Liu Bang's heart moved when he heard this, and he began to think about the feasibility of this strategy. However, he was a little hesitant, Zhang Liang's strategy was too vicious, and he hesitated.
At this time, Zhang Liang said with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Your Majesty, if there is chaos today, the heroes will rise together, and after Your Majesty unifies the world, you will be safe and secure and the people will be happy." ”
Liu Bang pondered for a moment, and finally did not accept Zhang Liang's strategy. Zhang Liang saw that persuasion was ineffective, so he had to leave quietly.
Soon after, Liu Bang really changed his mind, he gave up Zhang Liang's strategy, and chose to treat all the heroes with benevolence and righteousness, and step by step brought the heroes and powers in all parts of the world under his control.
Eventually, he succeeded in unifying the world, established the Han Dynasty, and became a generation of famous monarchs in Chinese history.
However, Zhang Liang's last plan shook Liu Bang and became a question hanging in people's minds in history.
If Liu Bang had accepted Zhang Liang's strategy at that time, then history might have a different direction, but this has become a historical mystery that cannot be answered.
Zhang Liang left behind many legendary stories in history to assist Liu Bang, and his resourcefulness and loyalty have added countless splendid colors to Chinese history.
Although his last plan was not realized, it has become a puzzle in history that will never be forgotten, and people will always regret and ponder.
