Preface
In the process of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there was a master of wisdom and strategy, who made many suggestions to help Liu Bang resolve the crisis, and finally contributed to the establishment and stability of the Han Dynasty?
With his wit and accurate grasp of the situation, Chen Ping successfully solved one crisis after another faced by Liu Bang and made a significant contribution to the unification of the Han Dynasty. So, how did this wise Chen Ping use his intelligence to help Liu Bang tide over the difficulties?
First, the plan of discord is to isolate Xiang Yu
In 203 BC, Liu Bang had been besieged in Xingyang by Xiang Yu for a whole year, and the rescue and grain and grass channels were cut off by Xiang Yu. Liu Bang was anxious and begged Xiang Yu for peace again and again, but was refused. At this time, Chen Ping offered Liu Bang a plan
Chen Ping knew Xiang Yu's character and knew that he was a very greedy and conceited person, and it was difficult for others to tolerate others sharing his benefits. So, Chen Ping decided to take advantage of this and spread rumors in Xiang Yu's camp that Fan Zeng and Zhong Liwu had done a lot of work, but they could not get the rewards they deserved, and that they had reached a secret agreement with the King of Han to jointly eliminate Xiang Yu and divide his territory.
As soon as this rumor spread, it really aroused Xiang Yu's vigilance. Xiang Yu began to be suspicious of Fan Zeng, believing that he might be colluding with the Han King behind his back. So, when Fan Zeng suggested to Xiang Yu that the siege should be stepped up, Xiang Yu did not listen, but gave up the siege. This undoubtedly gave Liu Bang a chance to breathe.
Later, Fan Zeng heard that he was framed as the Neiying of the King of Han, and knew that he had lost Xiang Yu's trust, so he asked Xiang Yu for his resignation. Xiang Yu readily agreed, Fan Zeng was indignant in his heart, and finally died of poisonous sores.
All this is the result of Chen Ping's meticulous design. He took advantage of Xiang Yu's character flaws to successfully separate the relationship between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, isolate Xiang Yu, and win valuable time for Liu Bang. It can be said that this strategy laid the foundation for Liu Bang's later counteroffensive.
Second, Li Dai Taozhuang, breaking through Xingyang
Xiang Yu later realized that he had fallen for Liu Bang's discordant scheme, so he decided to launch a fierce attack on Xingyang in an attempt to completely eliminate Liu Bang. If Xingyang falls, Liu Bang is likely to be captured, and the Han state will also fall. At this critical moment, Chen Ping once again offered Liu Bang a plan, that is, Li Daitao's plan.
Chen Ping asked Liu Bang to write a letter of surrender to Xiang Yu first, asking him to meet him at the east gate. In this way, Xiang Yu will transfer the army to the east gate. Subsequently, Chen Ping tried to lure other soldiers in Xingyang City to the east gate.
In this way, Liu Bang can break through from the West Gate. In order to better attract the Chu army to the east gate, Chen Ping also had 2,000 women put on armor and go out of the city with Ji Xin, a man similar to Liu Bang. When the Chu army saw this scene, they thought they had won and rushed to Dongcheng, and Liu Bang and others took the opportunity to flee from the west gate to Guanzhong.
This ploy once again demonstrated Chen Ping's wisdom. He skillfully used Xiang Yu's personality traits to successfully divert the attention of the Chu army and create an opportunity for Liu Bang to break through.
This not only allowed Liu Bang to escape, but also laid the foundation for the later establishment of the Han Dynasty. Chen Ping's strategy can be said to be in the midst of strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.
Not only can he accurately grasp the situation, but he can also gain insight into Xiang Yu's personality and design exquisite strategies. This superb strategy and decision-making ability undoubtedly won Liu Bang valuable time and laid a key foundation for the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
3. Respond to Hanshin and stabilize the situation
Liu Bang's side of the front lost step by step, while Han Xin won in Qidi. This made Han Xin see an opportunity to claim fame and fortune for himself, so he sent an envoy to Liu Bang to ask him to be named a false king.
When Liu Bang heard Han Xin's request, he was naturally very unhappy, and scolded him in front of Han Xin's envoy. He scolded Han Xin, he had been besieged by Xiang Yu here for so long, and the day was in danger, but Han Xin did not come to the rescue, but took advantage of the fire to rob and want to be the king.
At this time, Chen Ping and Zhang Liang knew very well that the Han army was weak at this time, and Han Xin was far away in Qidi, once it was not handled well, it was likely to cause Han Xin to fall to Xiang Yu or remain neutral, which was not good for the Han State.
So, Chen Ping secretly kicked Liu Bang under the table, making him realize that he should take a more cautious attitude at this time. Liu Bang immediately reacted and changed his words and said, since Han Xin pacified the princes, if he wants to be a real king, why bother to be a fake king.
In this way, Liu Bang used the name of King Qi to stabilize Han Xin, avoiding the division of the Han army and the disadvantage of the situation to his side. Later, someone accused Han Xin of rebellion, Liu Bang asked the generals, and everyone advocated sending troops to fight.
At this time, Chen Ping once again made suggestions. He asked Liu Bang rhetorically, the Han army and the Han generals are not as good as Han Xin, once the troops are dispatched, the outcome is unpredictable, and in case of failure, it will be unfavorable to Liu Bang. It is better to learn from the ancient Son of Heaven who traveled around the country and met with the princes.
Liu Bang implemented Chen Ping's strategy and successfully captured Han Xin, avoiding another turmoil in the world. It can be said that Chen Ping once again showed his wisdom in this incident. He accurately grasped the situation, skillfully resolved the contradiction between Liu Bang and Han Xin, and maintained the unity of the Han Dynasty. This not only avoided civil war, but also laid the foundation for the stability of the Han Dynasty.
Chen Ping's performance in this incident once again proved that he was an excellent strategist. Not only is he able to accurately grasp the situation, but he can also perceive human nature and devise exquisite strategies.
Even in the face of the powerful Han Xin, he was able to use his wisdom to defuse the crisis and maintain the unity of the Han Dynasty. This superb strategy and decision-making ability undoubtedly won Liu Bang valuable time and laid a key foundation for the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
4. Gambit and the establishment of the Han Dynasty
Through the above three key events, we can see that Chen Ping played a crucial role in the establishment of the Han Dynasty. With his wit and accurate grasp of the situation, he successfully solved one crisis after another faced by Liu Bang.
First of all, at the critical moment when Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu, Chen Ping used a strategy of discord to successfully isolate Xiang Yu and win valuable time for Liu Bang. This strategy not only reflected Chen Ping's wisdom, but also made full use of Xiang Yu's character flaws.
Xiang Yu is a very greedy and conceited person who has a hard time tolerating others sharing his benefits. Chen Ping took advantage of this and spread rumors in Xiang Yu's camp, successfully segregating the relationship between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, and finally isolating Xiang Yu. This laid the foundation for Liu Bang's later counteroffensive.
Subsequently, in the Xingyang crisis, Chen Ping cleverly designed Li Daitao's stiff plan to help Liu Bang successfully break through. This ploy once again demonstrated Chen Ping's wisdom. Not only can he accurately grasp the situation, but he can also gain insight into Xiang Yu's personality and design exquisite strategies. By diverting the attention of the Chu army, Chen Ping created an opportunity for Liu Bang to break out, which not only allowed Liu Bang to escape, but also laid the foundation for the later establishment of the Han Dynasty.
In the end, in response to the crisis of Han Xin's request for the title of king, Chen Ping once again made a plan to stabilize the situation and avoid the split of the Han army. He accurately grasped the situation, skillfully resolved the contradiction between Liu Bang and Han Xin, and maintained the unity of the Han Dynasty. This not only avoided civil war, but also laid the foundation for the stability of the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that it is precisely because of a wise master like Chen Ping that Liu Bang was able to survive crises again and again, and finally established the Han Dynasty. Chen Ping's resourcefulness and accurate grasp of the situation made a significant contribution to the establishment and stability of the Han Dynasty. Not only is he able to accurately grasp the situation, but he can also perceive human nature and devise exquisite strategies. This superb strategy and decision-making ability undoubtedly won Liu Bang valuable time and laid a key foundation for the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
