After Han Xin took Wei, Zhao, and Daidi, he got Li Zuoche's advice, so he took the Yan kingdom without spending a single soldier. Subsequently, Liu Bang also personally sealed Zhang Er to continue to serve as the King of Zhao, and then Han Xin became the Xiangguo of Zhao. At this time, the situation of basically anti-Chu had entered the second half, but at this time, Liu Bang was still trapped in Xingyang and had been confronting Xiang Yu for more than a year. At this time, in order to break the deadlock, Zhang Liang gave Liu Bang a suggestion, that is, to strengthen himself and weaken the enemy, and the specific implementation was what Han Xin said: "Ren Tianxia Wu yong, why not curse?" Why should he be dissatisfied with the title of a hero in the city of the world? This means to appoint the brave warriors of the world and to give the land to the meritorious men.
Liu
For Liu Bang, except for the land of Hanzhong and the Three Qins, any land can be given away, because it is not his own. But to whom is so much land to be divided? Zhang Liang continued to give advice, three people respectively. First of all, han xin, han xin himself is his own subordinate naturally does not need to say much. Then there was Peng Yue, who had always been on his side after Liu Bang made Peng Yue Wei Xiang, so there was no problem. Finally, there is Yingbu, and this character is a bit difficult to handle.
Inbe
Yingbu was originally a prisoner, and he also left a scar on his face, which was a shame of the crime. Therefore, Yingbu's alias is also called Tuobu, originally Yingbu was already a mountain king during the Chen Sheng period, but it did not take long to defect to a key figure, Wu Rui. Wu Rui has a very low sense of existence in history, but he is the last person to laugh. Wu Rui, as a king with a different surname, passed on five generations in the Western Han Dynasty. After Yingbu defected to Wu Rui, Wu Rui valued Yingbu very much, and not only married her daughter to Yingbu, but also took Yingbu with her to xiangyu.
Many people could not understand the strength of Yingbu, during the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu set out with 50,000 Chu troops, of which 30,000 were led by Yingbu, and the role was to break the Yongdao of The Link between Zhang Handan and Wang Li, and to constantly hinder Zhang Handan's reinforcements, so no Yingbu Xiangyu wanted to defeat Wang Li. Therefore, at the time of Xiang Yu's division, Yingbu became the king of Jiujiang, and the Jiujiang here was not the current Jiujiang in Jiangxi, and the Yingbu fiefdom was closely connected with Western Chu, and the northernmost part had always reached Huainan, that is, the area north of the Yangtze River. The reason why Yingbu was put around was also because Yingbu was worthy of Xiang Yu's trust.
However, Yingbu and Xiang Yu had a conflict, mainly for two reasons, the first was that Xiang Yu asked Yingbu to send troops when attacking the State of Qi, and Yingbu only gave four thousand soldiers and horses. Second, when Liu Bang occupied Pengcheng, Yingbu sat still and watched, which greatly annoyed Xiang Yu. In fact, Yingbu's behavior is not a betrayal, first of all, Yingbu himself is a prince, and the second Xiang Yu killed the Yi Emperor, and the legal command of the princes has disappeared.
Xiang Yu
But Yingbu was naturally afraid of Xiang Yu, but he was even more afraid that he would die. Liu Bang saw this opportunity and sent someone to persuade Yingbu to surrender and win Yingbu into his own person. Yingbu was originally afraid of Xiang Yu, and at this time, just a character who lit the powder keg, this character was Sui He.
Regardless of the negotiation skills of Anyway, but in terms of the vision of the situation, it is already outstanding. At first, Sui He was treated coldly by Yingbu, and Suihe used the radical method to say that he could convince Yingbu with just a few words, so Yingbu and Suihe met. But Inbe was not persuaded and had to wait for the next opportunity. At this time, Sui He happened to hear that Xiang Yu's emissaries were also here, so Sui He directly visited the door and lied that Yingbu had already defected to Liu Bang, the King of Han.
Before this, Xiang Yu had been sending emissaries to ask Yingbu to send troops, and Yingbu was worried that he would be placed under house arrest if he went, so he delayed in various ways. At this time, as soon as Xiang Yu's emissaries heard the belief and thought it was true, they were angry and wanted to go back to inform Xiang Yu. By the time Yingbu knew, the matter had already been decided, and there was no way but to hunt down and kill the messenger and send troops to attack Xiang Yu. Who knew that Xiang Yu did not personally attack, but sent Xiang Ya, Long Ji and others to attack, so that Yingbu was defeated.
Looking at Yingbu's rebellion, you will find that in fact, it was not Yingbu who got the promise of being crowned king to help Liu Bang, at this time Yingbu was already a king, why should he betray Xiang Yu for fame and fortune? Secondly, at the height of Liu Bang's prosperity, that is, when he occupied Pengcheng, Yingbu did not defect, and as a result, when Liu Bang was trapped in Xingyang and was most vulnerable, Yingbu chose to defect. Therefore, the problem that can be explained by this is Yingbu's understanding of Xiang Yu, and what he is afraid of is not Xiang Yu's bravery, but he is afraid of Xiang Yu's autumn accounting, that is, he is careful with his eyes.
The so-called trust is established by both sides, and Xiang Yu cannot trust people, so no one can trust them. And too many flower shelves make Yingbu unable to follow him at any time, and then compare Liu Bang. After Yingbu's defeat, he fled to Liu Bang, who met Yingbu while washing his feet, and Yingbu thought that I didn't even have a home for you, and you looked down on me. After the meeting, he was about to commit suicide, but when Yingbu came to his residence, he found that his place was more luxurious than Liu Bang's, which also relaxed his heart. It can be seen that trust is not empty talk, but real interests and definite realities.
