"Birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden; cunning rabbits die, running dogs cook." The lord of Gonggao zhen was suspected, and finally his family was destroyed, and such incidents can be said to be common in the long river of history. Especially at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, some founding heroes were often liquidated because they could not be sealed and threatened the imperial power, the most famous of which should be Han Xin, the founding general of the Han Dynasty. The origin and death of Han Xin are very dramatic, and have become an important object of study and discussion for thousands of years. But in fact, in the world of the great strife between Qin and Han, there were many heroes Haojie, many of whom were not inferior to Han Xin at all, and today I want to talk about such a person, who was peng Yue, the general who was the same as Han Xin and the three heroes of the han dynasty.
Peng Yue (彭越), courtesy name Zhong, was a native of Changyi County, present-day Juye County, Heze City, Shandong Province. He is the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty and a famous general of a generation. Not only that, Peng Yue was also the first military expert in the history of world war to regularly use guerrilla warfare tactics for regular combat, and it can be said that he was the originator of guerrilla warfare. Moreover, the guerrilla warfare method played a great role in his hands, allowing him to establish a great merit and not lose to others in contribution. Although Peng Yue later soared to the top, his origin was not very high, even worse than ordinary people.
In the beginning, Peng Yue was just a fisherman, and he also acted as a robber from time to time, and ganged up with a group of people to rob the house, which can be said to be a bad deed. In middle age, he happened to encounter Chen Sheng's Wu Guang uprising, and his friends who were also robbers around him admired him, so he instigated that many people now followed Chen Sheng Wu Guang and rebelled against the Qin Dynasty like them. You can stand up and lead us, just like those people do a big thing! Although he was only a small robber, Peng Yue was very sober, and he said, "Now is the time when the two dragons have just fought, so let's wait first." "
But this matter did not end like this, and after about a year, more than a hundred young people from the same village who heard of his prestige and had the idea of uprising gathered and went to follow Peng Yue and ask Peng Yue to be their leader. Peng Yue still did not agree. The young people refused to give up, and finally after a hard and soft bubble, Peng Yue agreed to them. Since he had become the leader, he must have the appearance of a leader, and Peng Yue and them agreed to assemble as soon as the sun came out the next day, and if anyone was late, he would kill the head. As a result, the next day, more than a dozen people did not arrive on time, and the last one did not come until noon.
So Peng Yue said apologetically: "I am old, you did not want me to be the leader, I accepted, and made an agreement with everyone, as a result, now, you are late to so many people." Of course, you can't kill them all, but you can't kill them all, so let's kill the last one. So he ordered his headmaster to kill him. Everyone didn't pay attention to it, but instead giggled and said, "Don't be so serious, don't be late in the future." But Peng Yue was very serious, and he took matters into his own hands, pulling the last person to kill him. And set up an earthen altar, and sacrifice this human head to command the others. Everyone was very shocked, and very afraid of Peng Yue, and finally knew that this was not a joke, and no one dared to look up at him. Peng Yue saw that the military discipline had been effective, so he led everyone to set out to seize the land and collect the soldiers who had fled from the princes, which was more than a thousand people.
Later, Peng Yue's power gradually expanded, and he helped Liu Bang before he entered the customs. In July of the last year of the Qin Dynasty (206 BC), at the behest of Liu Bang, he engaged Xiao Gongjiao under Xiang Yu and won a great victory. A year later, in the spring, he paid homage to the State of Wei under Liu Bang's arrangement. In the same year, Liu Bang suffered a great defeat at Pengcheng, and Peng Yue immediately abandoned the city he had captured and rushed to the rescue.

Chinese Dynasties Popular Interpretation [Cai Dongfan Full set of 6 volumes of new edition hardcover] ¥165 Purchase
In the third year of the Han Dynasty (204 BC), Peng Yue traveled more frequently for the Han King in the rear, attacking the Chu army and cutting off the food and grass of the Chu army, leaving them unsustainable and tired of coping, known in history as "Peng Yue scratching Chu". The effectiveness of this method of warfare was remarkable, not only hitting the Chu army to a large extent, but also scavenging rich logistical resources for the Han army. This battle continued until the Battle of Xiaxia, where Peng Yue successfully joined forces with large troops and won the Battle of Xiaxia. In the spring of the same year, Peng Yue was made the King of Liang and built the capital Dingtao.
Although he also often went to see Liu Bang to show his submission, misfortune inevitably happened.
In the autumn of the sixth year of Emperor Han Gao (197 BC), Chen Feng rebelled in Daidi, and Gao Zu personally marched. Passing through Handan, Gao zu recruited peng yue. Peng Yue shirked that he was ill and only sent his generals to Handan with his army. Gao Zu was so angry that he even sent someone to rebuke Peng Yue. Peng Yue was very scared and planned to personally apologize. His subordinate general, Huan Yuan, couldn't see his eyes and said, "The great king was only reprimanded for not going to the battlefield himself, and he was not immediately arrested for this trip." It is better to send troops to rebel. Peng Yue did not listen to his opinion, but continued to shirk the illness. It happened that at this time, one of Peng Yue's servants had made a mistake and was about to be punished, so he fled to Gaozu in a hurry, fabricating out of thin air that Peng Yue and Hu Yue were going to rebel.
As a result, Gao Zu immediately sent people to attack Peng Yue unexpectedly, and Peng Yue was easily arrested without defense, and Later Gao Zu imprisoned him in Luoyang. After a trial by the official in charge, it was found that Peng Yue had evidence of conspiracy to rebel, and he requested Gao Zu to punish him. Remembering his great merits, Gao Zu pardoned him, but only deposed him as a commoner and exiled him to Qingyi County, Shudi.
In this way, Peng Yue marched towards Shudi, just in time for Lü Hou, who had come from Chang'an to luoyang. Peng Yue couldn't see that Gao Zu couldn't get justice, but after so coincidentally encountering Lü Hou, he told Lü Hou the truth and asked her to help, so Peng Yue wept bitterly, detailing the course of the matter and his grievances, hoping to get justice. Lü Hou agreed and returned to Luoyang with him.
However, Peng Yue obviously miscalculated, because Lü Hou did not seek justice for him, but directly asked for his life. After seeing Gao Zu, Lü Hou said: "Peng Yue is brave and heroic, isn't it a hidden danger for him to let him go now?" It was time to kill him, so I brought him back. Liu Bang obeyed. Lü Hou immediately arranged for Peng Yue's disciples to sue him for plotting rebellion again. In this way, under careful arrangement, Peng Yue was killed, the family was destroyed, and the feudal state was abolished.
Peng Yue's death was really a major unjust case, and he tried his best to prove his innocence, but he ended up killing himself. From the perspective of ordinary people, of course, Gao Zu and Lü Hou will feel cruel in their means, but if they stand in the perspective of those in power and only consider interests, it is also reasonable to do so. Peng Yue was able to attain a lofty position by virtue of his strong skills and great military achievements, but it was precisely these that eventually led to his dissimilarity.
