In October 196 BC, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, led an army for the last time in his life.
When the Han army he led came to the vicinity of the western outskirts of Qi County, the hometown of the Chu State, it happened to run into Wang Yingbu (the enemy army) of Jiujiang, who had already lined up his army.
According to the "traditional etiquette", the commanders of the two armies should first greet each other:
Therefore, Liu Bang asked Yingbu, "Why do you want to rebel?" ”
Obviously, between Liu Bang's words, there is a bit of the meaning of "turning Gange into a jade warrior"; who knows the Yingbu on the other side, but he does not give Liu Laozi any face, he said unceremoniously: "What is the purpose of rebellion?" Of course it's to be emperor! ”
Liu Bang was furious...
In the end, he said a lot of Yingbu "several battles unfavorably", and on the way to escape, he was betrayed by his brother-in-law and died in a field house.
(Liu Bang) and Bu looked at each other, and said to Bu Yue: "Why is it bitter and opposite?" Bu Yue: "Desire for the ear of the Emperor." "Cursed, and fought... The Fanyang people killed the villagers of Buzi and destroyed Tuobu.
Speaking of Yingbu this person!
Many labels always pop up in our minds: prisoners of grassroots counterattacks, fierce generals with superior force, butchers who kill innocents indiscriminately, princes with courage and strategy...
There is no doubt: the life of This Jiujiang Wang Yingbu, one of the three famous generals of the early Han Dynasty and who was once mixed up in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, is absolutely wonderful!
Today, Qing Shijun will talk with you about his story.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="131"> —01—</h1>
Yingbu, a native of present-day Lu'an, Anhui Province.
It is said that his ancestor was the Great Sage Gao Tao of the Ancient Age; however, after more than two thousand years of blood dilution, by the generation of Yingbu, his family had long since declined.
On the occasion of Qin Shi Huang's unification of China, Yingbu, as a remnant of the Six Kingdoms, proposed a new identity - Qianshou.
Friends, don't be deceived by the word "shou" of this chief in yingbu's new identity; because, during the Qin Dynasty, the seemingly tall word "Qianshou" actually referred to ordinary people.
However, since his youth, Yingbu has always been pretentious and feels that he is born to do great things.
The reason for this phenomenon is not that the simple "dream of a young hero" is at work, but because a xiangshi once said to Yingbu: Judging by his appearance, after breaking the law and being punished, he can be called king.
Although the history books do not record how Yingbu reacted when he first heard this "prophecy"; however, according to the sentence when he was really appeased (inscribed on his face) for violating the Qin law a few years later: "Someone showed me that when I became king after I was tortured, this is probably the case now, right?" Look: For so many years, Inbe seems to have been waiting for his "Destiny" to come.
The six people are also surnamed Ying. Qin Shi was cloth cloth. Young man, there is a courtesy of the acquaintance: "Be the king of punishment." "And strong, sit on the Fa Tuo." Bu smiled happily, "How many people are the king of punishment for me?" ”
What destiny?
You boy still go and move the bricks for yuan first!
Since the First Emperor of China was still alive, even though Comrade Yingbu's "three moles had already appeared on the soles of his feet", he still honestly went to Lishan to be a labor prisoner.
However, at this time, Yingbu was no longer at peace--during the Lishan Labor Reform, he began to consciously make friends with some "haojie people"; and eventually with these people, he fled to the wilderness and waited for the opportunity.
Bu Du and his disciple Hao Jie communicated, but led his Cao Puppet, and the River of Death was a group of thieves.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42">—02—</h1>
In 209 BC, Chen Sheng wu Guangzexiang revolted;
After hearing this news, Yingbu, who had always been ambitious, immediately realized that his opportunity had finally come; so he and his accomplices went to the palace of the Qin official Fanyang County Ling Wu Rui, successfully persuaded him to oppose Qin, and incidentally married Wu Rui's daughter.
Chen Shengzhi also saw Fan Jun, and together with his people rebelled against Qin, gathering thousands of troops. Fan Jun was his wife.
In January 208 BC, Chen Sheng was killed by his own master Zhuang Jia, and the rebel camp suddenly lost its sharpness; Zhang Handan, the last famous general of Great Qin, keenly seized this opportunity and defeated Chen Sheng's confidant Lü Chen in the land of Zhao.
The rebel army was originally composed of some remnants of the six countries, which seemed to be huge, but in fact, the organization was scattered and the people's hearts were not gathered.
Now, with Chen Sheng's death, Lü Chen's great defeat, and people's minds changing, the situation is developing in a very unfavorable direction for the rebels...
At this moment of crisis, Yingbu spontaneously led an army and joined forces with Lü Chen to defeat the Qin army and save the revolutionary situation in time.
Zhang Handan destroyed Chen Sheng, broke the Lü Chen army, Bu Nai led the army north to attack the Qin left and right schools, broke the Qingbo, and led the troops to the east.
There was once a saying on the Internet:
Zhang Handan can be said to be the test stone with the best ability of the leading generals at the end of the Qin and early Han Dynasties - Xiang Yu defeated Zhang Handan in the Battle of Julu, and then the princes of the world submitted; Liu Bang (Han Xin) from Bashu to the Central Plains, the first general to defeat was also Zhang Handan, and then the princes of the world looked sideways.
If the above statement is true, then the military capabilities of The British and The Cloth can be seen.
Therefore, when Yingbu surrendered to Xiang Liang's camp, he could actually sit on an equal footing with Xiang Liang:
Xiang Liang to Xue, Wen Chen Wang Ding died, Nai Li Chu Huai Wang. Xiang Liang is Wu Xin Jun, and Ying Bu is Dang Yang Jun.
Later, Xiang Liang was killed in battle, and Xiang Yu killed Song Yi and won nine battles and nine victories in the Battle of Julu, laying the absolute leadership of the Chu army in the rebel army.
In the past, we all thought that the princes of the world were subjugated by the force of the overlord; but in fact, the rebel generals who took the lead in the Battle of Julu and defeated the Qin army several times were actually Yingbu, and Yingbu often won more with less, and weak won strong.
Therefore, even the overlord, who is often "blind to no one", also sees Yingbu as abnormal and regards him as one of the few friends.
Xiang Zhi made Bu first cross the river to attack Qin, and the number of cloth was favorable, and the Qi was able to lead the troops to wade into the river from it, so they broke the Qin army, lowered Zhang Handan, etc. The princes and soldiers all obeyed the Chu, and defeated the multitude with a small number of cloths.
(Xiang Yu) is the king of Jiujiang alone, and there are many fabrics.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="76">—03—</h1>
Perhaps, it is precisely because of Yingbu's outstanding ability that every time Xiang Yu encounters something difficult, the first person who thinks of xiang Yu is always Yingbu:
After the Battle of Julu, the pit killed 200,000 Qin troops, Xiang Yu ordered, Yingbu operation;
Xiang Zhizhi led his troops west to Xin'an, and made Bu wait for the night to attack more than 200,000 people in The Night Ofe.
After dividing the princes, Xiang Yu felt that Emperor Yi was in the way and wanted to get rid of him, and it was Yingbu himself who intervened.
In August, the envoys attacked Emperor Yi and pursued and killed Chenxian County.
Obviously: Yingbu has become Xiang Yu's white glove (pot bearer).
Although, after the fall of Great Qin, Xiang Yu very interestingly crowned Yingbu as the King of Jiujiang, so that the former prisoners finally fulfilled their fate prophecy; we all know that no one will willingly always carry the pot for people.
Therefore, Qing Shijun firmly believed that from that time on, Yingbu had slowly become dissatisfied with Xiang Yu in his heart.
In 205 BC, the year after the overlord re-divided the world, Tian Rong, the king of Qi, took the lead in rebelling against Chu, and Xiang Yu, who had loved conquest all his life, did not say a word and put on armor.
Of course, as the "lord of the alliance", Xiang Yu recruited troops from his own princes according to the custom; but the strange thing was that Yingbu, who had always been the leader of Xiang Yu's horse, said that he was ill and only symbolically sent thousands of soldiers to help the army.
Later, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought in the Battle of Pengcheng, and Xiang Yu, who was in a critical situation, wanted Yingbu to come to his aid; Yingbu still "said that he was sick".
After coming and going, Xiang Yu had an opinion on Yingbu.
King Xiang complained about the cloth, and several messengers asked the messenger to summon the cloth, and the cloth became more and more frightened, and did not dare to go.
As a master of the "united front", Liu Bang immediately sensed the fighting for Yingbu!
Therefore, he sent people to Jiujiang to persuade Yingbu to surrender to Chu.
At that time, Liu Bang's lobbyist told Yingbu, who had been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, two key points and a promise:
First, the Great King (Yingbu) you have repeatedly refused Xiang Yu's enlistment, the name of "Back Chu" has already been solidified, and now the reason why Xiang Yu does not clean up after you is that the time has not yet come;
Second, Xiang Yu seemed to be powerful, but he bore the name of indiscriminately killing innocents and killing the righteous emperor, and now the princes of the world did not obey him; although the King of Han seemed to be weak for the time being, he won the hearts of the people, repeatedly defeated and fought, which was really a thick accumulation.
The situation of The Han Dynasty being strong and the Weak is already very obvious; now, If you turn to the King of Han, you will certainly be indispensable in the future!
In this way, Yingbu was actually fooled by people three or two times, and changed camps.
In the end, Xiang Yu, who rebelled against him, was defeated by Liu Bang and others.
Whenever he saw this section of Yingbu's back to Chu tossing Han, Qing Shijun couldn't help but want to scold people!
Inbu, you're a pig!
You are now a noble prince, even if Liu Bang finally won the world, what greater reward can you get? Is it hard to be an emperor?!
Some people will definitely say: Didn't Yingbu eventually "rebel" and establish himself as emperor?
yes! Yingbu finally "figured it out" and didn't want to be subordinate to people anymore!
However, friends who are familiar with this period of history must know that the reason why Yingbu later rebelled was entirely because even if he did not rebel, Liu Bang would have to find a way to clean him up!
Throughout Yingbu's life:
He was born ordinary, worked as a prisoner, and eventually counterattacked from the grassroots and became a prince of one side, such a life can not be described as unsuccessful;
However, he did not distinguish between good and evil, and when things were unknown, in the case of confusion, he became Xiang Yu's white glove, killing the pawns for people and hand-bladed emperors, so that he was forever nailed to the pillar of shame; when he finally made up his mind to draw a line with Xiang Yu, he did not realize that the situation in the world had changed greatly (even if he helped Liu Bang, in the end, he could not avoid "rabbit dead dog cooking").
In the end, he died in the countryside and the countryside, and whenever he wanted to come, it was inevitable that people would sigh!
It seems that in Yingbu's life, there has never been any lofty goal and pattern, he just guards the proverb of "punishment is king".
Just as someone said to Liu Bang at that time: Yingbu is just a prisoner of Lishan Mountain, and with his pattern, it can't become a big deal at all!
Ling Yin Yue: "The disciples of the Rich Mountain, the Lord of the Ten Thousand Multipliers, are all bodies, regardless of the worries of the people and the world, so they know that they have made plans." ”
