The Hongmen Banquet is very familiar to everyone, Liu Bang was able to escape at the Hongmen Banquet, and everyone may think that it is the credit of Zhang Liang and Fan Duo. They do have credit, but the biggest credit is Xiang Bo.
We know that Xiang Bo is Xiang Yu's uncle, so why would Xiang Bo help Liu Bang? Liu Bang's final escape at the Hongmen Banquet depended mainly on two aspects.
1. Xiang Bo and Zhang Liang have a friendship
Liu Bangxian led his army into Xianyang, which made Xiang Yu very annoyed, so he decided to lead an army to attack Liu Bang, at this time Liu Bang did not know. But Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo was in Xiang Yu's army, so he told Zhang Liang the news.
Why did Xiang Bo tell Zhang Liang? Because the two of them have a friendship. When Xiang Bo was in the Qin Dynasty, he killed people, so in order to avoid guilt, he followed Zhang Liang and hid in Xia Pi, and the two formed a friendship, which can also be regarded as Zhang Liang helping Xiang Bo.
Therefore, Xiang Bo told Zhang Liang about Xiang Yu's intention to kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, and Xiang Bo's purpose in doing so was not to save Liu Bang, but to let Zhang Liang not be implicated by Liu Bang and ask Zhang Liang to leave with him.
Therefore, we see that Xiang Bo told Zhang Liang the news that Xiang Yu was going to kill Liu Bang, not to save Liu Bang, but to repay the favor.
2. Zhang Liang saved Liu Bang
Xiang Bo went to save Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang saved Liu Bang again. Xiang Bo asked Zhang Liang to leave with him so as not to be implicated by Liu Bang. But Zhang Liang wanted to save Liu Bang, so he said that abandoning others in times of danger and fleeing on his own was unjust.
So Zhang Liang told Liu Bang about the matter, so Liu Bang wooed Xiang Bo and used this as a breakthrough. Liu Bang received Xiang Bo very respectfully and expressed his loyalty to Xiang Yu, which made Xiang Bo believe Liu Bang's words and be willing to mediate the contradiction between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Bo returned, he persuaded Xiang Yu, so Xiang Yu did not kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet. During the banquet at the Hongmen Gate, Xiang Zhuang danced his sword and wanted to assassinate Liu Bang, at this time Xiang Bo saw Xiang Zhuang's intentions, immediately drew his sword and danced with Xiang Zhuang, protected Liu Bang, and finally let Liu Bang escape. Liu Bang, with the help of Zhang Liang, asked Xiang Bo to step forward at a critical time and save Liu Bang.
In fact, at the beginning, Xiang Bo did not want to save Liu Bang, but wanted to save Zhang Liang, but Zhang Liang was Liu Bang's adviser, and he knew that Xiang Yu wanted to kill Liu Bang, and he definitely wanted to save Liu Bang, because Zhang Liang knew the truth of cold lips and cold teeth.
In this way, Xiang Bo indirectly helped Liu Bang, and after Liu Bang learned the news against him, he did not panic, but convinced Xiang Bo, let Xiang Bo convince Xiang Yu, and directly escorted Him at the Hongmen Banquet.
Therefore, after Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, he gave Xiang Bo the surname of Liu and the title of Marquis of Sheyang. So from this incident we can see that people's lives are wonderful, and we don't know who will help them at critical times.
At the beginning, Zhang Liang helped Xiang Bo, and did not think that Xiang Bo would come to help him one day, and Liu Bang met Zhang Liang was also an adventure, Zhang Liang thanked Liu Bang for his kindness to him, and finally saved Liu Bang.
This tells us who we will meet in this life, we don't know, who we will help, we don't know, who is our noble, let alone in advance.
This requires that we regard everyone we know as our nobles and not easily offend them. Liu Bang was able to successfully escape Xiang Yu's plot at the Hongmen Banquet, which explained this truth very well.
