First of all, the first period
It happened at the beginning of the uprising. At that time, no one in Liu Bang's team planned his goal. This line of people just bumped into each other, almost exhausted, and the base area was gone. The defector was bitten by Qin Jun and beaten. During this period, the record in Stay at Hou's Home is that "being good at numbers is based on the art of war", which means being good at copying others and tactics are commonly used ". During this period, except for Feng Yi, it was almost because the villagers were not good at using soldiers, especially when attacking Yi, so they won. "Three days is to take yi, because receiving yi soldiers. There are naturally reasons for Sean's suggestion.
According to Sean, he and Liu Bang met when they were together, and later they became Liu Bang's subordinates. "Stay at Houjia" also wrote a sentence, "Don't go to see him", indicating that he didn't really meet him, so the time to stay behind should be that Liu Bang and Dongyang Ningjun "retired" and prepared to attack when fighting a small battle.
At first, Liu Bang went to Ju Jing to borrow soldiers to "follow". Later, he went to Xiang Liang to "ride more than one hundred times", so he borrowed soldiers first and then followed. Two different methods of borrowing soldiers can be found to be more brilliant after a little analysis. I don't know why Xiang Liang is so generous. Did Zhang Liang use personal relationships?
Continue reading Family Liu Hou and Gao Ancestral Family, from Yu Yue by Xiang Liang ... Xiang Liang ... Wang Jianli became the "King of Chu" and Xiang Liang was established. Liang Nai said that Xiang Liang said,' You have established Chu, and the descendants of Korea have established sages. You can establish yourself as a king for the benefit of one party'. After that, after half a year, Zhang Liang went to North Korea with more than 1000 soldiers and horses and became a disciple of Han Shen. Speaking of it, the military forces in any county are above 1000. What can you do with this?
Anyway, for Liu Bang, a good subordinate suddenly upgraded and stopped helping you. You can imagine how you feel in your heart. However, there is another possibility. Sean, a noble and an assassin, has a too loud reputation, but he stays under the account of Pei Gong, a civilian. What do people of the same nobility think? The prince and the prince will be together. What kind of people would you rather have? It is unacceptable to talk about it. What's more, the act of stabbing Qin shows that he misses his motherland. Why did he quit at this time? One more thing, Sean asked Hanwang to tell Xiang Liang directly, but did not ask Chu Huaiwang, the nominal head of Xiang Liang at this time, why Sean, who was born in a noble family or a prime minister's family, made such a statecraft mistake? They are all very intriguing.
From 1 month in the third year of Qin Ershi to June, as the only counselor under Liu Bang's account, the relationship between Sean and Liu Bang was a honeymoon period.
Second, if you leave your period.
About a year later, Liu Bang made a western expedition to North Korea, and Sean "led the troops from Pei Gong" and returned. At this time, Li Sheng and Li Sheng's younger brother Li Shang were added to Liu Bang's account, and thousands of military forces were under Liu Bang's account, while Sean just "followed" Han Bing, almost evenly matched, although he cooperated with the battle. But who do you trust more?
Judging from the route, Liu Bang had fought hard in Kaifeng and Luoyang, and even the move north of Hejin was obviously aimed at Hangu Pass. After Sean joined, the Western Expedition Army spent about two months from April to June. After sweeping the land of North Korea, in June, Liu Bangjun began to set foot on the road to Nanyang Wuguan. The person who made this decision is not clearly written in the book, but judging from the variables before and after this, it is likely to be Sean.
Time has been marching here, Tai Shigong began to write Sean's plan. Needless to say, this plan was put forward by a plan in A Record of Emperor Gaozu. "... repeatedly led troops to the west. Sean protested to Sean. "It can be seen that Liu Bang did not tell Sean after making a decision. After Wancheng, Sean ran over and said it was impossible, and Liu Bang "obeyed", which made sense. This just quickly returned to Wancheng.
From this point of view, Sean is obviously not always with Liu Bang. Judging from the biographies of Han Xin and Lu Wan, Sean met Han Wangxin on his way to North Korea. "(Pei Gong) made Sean surrender to Han's hometown with Han Situ, and won his trust, thinking that Han Jiang would send troops to Wuguan from Pei Gong." At this time, Han Wangxin is Han Jiang, and Zhang Liang is Stuart of Korea. Obviously Sean is bigger than his official, this ". From this perspective, Sean is acting with Han Wangxin at this time. In this way, we can understand why the plan is after 10 thousand, not before 10 thousand.
Later, when tackling key problems, it can also be proved from the side that "Pei Gong wants to attack Qin Guan with 20,000 soldiers", and 20,000 people are probably the military forces under the control of Liu Bang. Other armies, such as Prince Anguo's Tomb, cooperated with Liu Bang to fight Nanyang, but they were only friendly forces and did not belong to each other. It's a little strange here. Biography doesn't quite match the list of heroes. ) Although Sean also brought it. Killing him was Liu Bang's personal decision. Sean may know the news and come to offer suggestions to avoid a hard battle. Judging from Liu Bang's acting style, whoever gives an idea will carry it out. This time, Sean put forward the strategy, but it was not carried out by Sean, but was given to the eloquent Li Sheng, who was able to tell the eight difficulties in an instant, and Sean's eloquence, which startled Liu Bang, was obviously not bad and equally well-founded. From this aspect, we can also know that Sean is not a subordinate of Liu Bang at this time, so we can't call him casually. Naturally, Liu Bang didn't specifically inform Sean, he only mobilized his own army.
After entering Xianyang, it is more telling to be stationed in Hanguguan. Why is Fan Kuai the first to give an idea? Because Sean is an outsider, Liu Bang can ignore his own words, but he still looks good abroad. In Sean, he just came to Xianyang on behalf of Wang Han, and there was no reason to intervene in Liu Bang's affairs. Estimated Peixian sober brothers see not bottom go to, put neither Liu Bang's men, nor their close relatives Sean out. During the occupation of the defenders, Liu Bang's army did not stay there all the time, but also sent troops to attack Bashu, and Hanguguan's team was inconspicuous. Although Han Jun and Liu Bangjun were together, they were separated by a layer, and they were friendly when they destroyed Qin. What is it at this time? Sean is not qualified to inquire about Liu Bang's military arrangements at this time. Naturally, everything is unclear. On the other hand, Liu Bang didn't tell Sean about it, which indirectly shows that he didn't treat Sean as one of his own.
After the banquet at Hongmen, Liu Bang was called "Gong" and "Jun", which was a courtesy and an elevation. If the hongmen banquet is recorded correctly, Sean will be thanked in the end, and some people think that Sean is not his subordinate, so neither Xiang Yu nor Fan Zeng will target him. There is a small detail, Xiang Bo tipped them off at night, and found Sean directly without disturbing anyone in Liu Bangjun. If Sean is in Liu Bangjun, this is basically impossible. On the other hand, although Liu Bangjun, where Han Bing and Sean are located, are both stationed on the overlord flag, they are separated.
Later, Xiang Yu enfeoffed the princes and drove Liu Bang to Bashu. Sean bribed Xiang Bo with the golden ball that Liu Bang gave him. Another detail is revealed here: Before Sean thanked Xiang Bo, Liu Bang simply forgot the great kindness of the Hongmen Banquet. It was not until Sean took action that he "stayed because of the kindness of Xiang Bo, so he invited Hanzhong".
It's just that although Liu Bang has faint scruples about Zhang Liangyou, Sean really thinks of him. "The kingdom of Hanwang is good for praise" (also called Meridian Road), another Han, simply went to Hanzhong, and later told Liu Bang that he could use his willfulness to return to the East. Speaking of it, after walking on both sides for so long, Sean is still smart. Won't he find out that his Han will run away with other kings? Obviously, he has acquiesced.
After that, several things began to contradict each other.
"Stay at Houjia": Being kind to Han became a good follower of Hanwang, instead of being sent to a country and coming from the East. Liang said, "Hanwang burned the plank road, no way back." Therefore, Tian Rong, King of Qi, wrote back to Wang Xiang. Xiang Wang did not worry about the west, so he sent his troops to the north to attack Qi.
Refused to send, but he thought it was Hou killed. Good death, walking between Hanwang, Hanwang has also decided to go to Sanqin. Take goodness as faith and attack Chu from the East.
Biography of Xiang Yu: At that time, the Han Dynasty decided on Sanqin. Xiang Yu was furious when he heard that Hanwang had merged with Guanzhong and Qi Zhao rebelled. Therefore, Wu Li Zheng Chang became the king of Korea in order to stay away from Korea. Let Xiao Gongjue and others beat Peng Yue. Peng Yue defeated Xiao Hongjue and others. Sean, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, was loyal to North Korea, but he left a letter from the king, which said: "Hanwang failed in his duty and wanted to get to Guanzhong, so he stopped as promised and dared not go east." Qi and Liang wrote back: "Qi will destroy Chu with Zhao." Therefore, Chu has no western meaning. Attack with the north.
Biographies of Han Xin and Lu Wan: Hanwang also decided on Sanqin, but Xu Xin was the king of Korea, so he first worshipped the letter as Han Taiwei and sent troops to Korea.
Ji Xiang's national seals are all in the country, and Han Wangcheng thinks it is more important for him to follow suit and leave the country. I also heard that Korea sent Han Xin to Korea, made him visit Wu, and made Zheng Changwang leave Korea. In the second year of Han Dynasty, Han Xin decided to own more than ten cities in Korea. Hanwang to Henan, Han Xin pounced on Hanwang Changyang City. Changjiang and Hanwang made Han Xin king of Korea, and often made Han Bing submit.
In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, Han Wangxin surrendered to the Huns. His biography is simply a running account of his identity experience, so the possibility of deletion is greatly reduced. According to the biographies of Han Xin and Lu Wan, Sean's trajectory of this activity was outlined:
Sean went to South Korea first, but Han Cheng was taken to Pengcheng by Xiang Yu. Zhang Liangxian said to Xiang Yu: "Hanwang burned the plank road and didn't want to return." So Tian Rong, the king of Qi, wrote a letter to Wang Xiang (I wonder how he got it? ), Xiang Yu seems to be unresponsive and slow. In July, Xiang Yu inexplicably killed Han Cheng, and Sean fled along the road. In August, Han also decided on Sanqin, and sent it as Han Taiwei's slightly Korean land; Tian Rong established himself as the king of Qi and occupied all the land. At this time, Xiang Yu began to act, sent Sean to slant the DPRK, and sent another letter. He said first: "Hanwang is dereliction of duty, and he wants to get the Guanzhong and dares not go east." Then he brought an anti-book, this time an anti-book of Qi Liang (I don't know how he got it), so Xiang Yu made Zheng Chang king of Korea to stay away from the Han Dynasty. About this period, Han showed no signs of moving eastward, Han.
Sanqin and the eastward attack on Chu were not consecutive events, and almost half a year passed in the middle. In November of the second year of the Han Dynasty, Han Wangxin was established. Prior to this, Han Wangxin regarded Han Taiwei as a small Korean land and Zhang Liangran as North Korea. Therefore, Sean is still nominally a courtier of North Korea, otherwise there is no reason to run for North Korea. From then on, until the Battle of Pengcheng returned to Xingyang, Sean was still a Korean minister.
This period can be called the cold palace period.
Third, do as you say.
When reading "The Family of Prime Minister Chen", there was a record that involved. Because Wang Yin surrendered to the Han Dynasty, Chen Ping had to follow him to the Han camp, and now he has become a grand master, making him take part in the battle and protect the army, and "when he arrived in Cheng Peng, he was defeated by Chu." Lead and return, close the scattered troops to Xingyang, with Ping as the assistant general, belonging to a broad and strong army. However, it didn't take long for Chen Ping to become angry and greedy. After Chen Ping confidently published an essay on bribery, he was transferred back to Han Ying as a lieutenant of the Guard Army, and it hasn't changed for a long time.
Then, I noticed a sentence in "Stay at Houjia", "Sick, never a special general. Often a painter, always with Hanwang. " In other words, his career as a full-time "planning minister" began at this time. At the same time, he broke off relations with South Korea, and Liu Bang's relationship with him was much closer. He was no longer called "Gong", "Jun" and "Sir" like that, but an ovary with one word.
In contrast, when Chen Ping became Liu Bang's confidant, it happened that Sean and Han Wangxin competed with Zheng Chang for North Korean land, and when Sean returned to the headquarters of the Han army, Chen Ping was transferred to the North Korean branch. What a coincidence.
In any case, Sean voluntarily gave up military power during this period, and Liu Bang began to entrust him with an important task, always asking for advice. The next thing is very telling.
In the third year of Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu was anxious to surround Hanwang Xingyang, and Hanwang was worried, so he tried to appease Chu You ... But he didn't, and Sean made a visit from abroad ... which made the sale very interesting. Stay at Hou's house
Comparing this incident with previous events such as going to Wan Wan, beating a coffin and inviting Hanzhong to burn a plank road, we can find that Sean has changed from a person who makes decisions actively to a person who makes decisions passively. It can be easily introduced that Sean has been on a business trip for a long time, because the seal has been engraved, and at the moment when this policy is about to be promulgated, Liu Bang also specially consulted Sean, which is a huge change from the previous practice of not telling Sean about Hangu Pass and asking people at the last minute. The same thing happened when Liu Bangben established his capital, but it was implemented immediately after Sean agreed. Regardless of whether this decision is correct or not, this in itself shows that Liu Bang relies more on Sean than on trust, and he is determined to rely on Sean's point of view. He believes that Sean's judgment is better than his, and his vision is longer than his.
The so-called "strategizing" probably refers to these. In the battlefield of the world, one mistake and carelessness will ruin everything. Liu bang's own decision-making is often not very clever, and his judgment on various suggestions will be accidentally wrong. Being able to listen to other people's opinions is his advantage, and at the same time, his judgment is not very high, which has become a dangerous disadvantage. During the confrontation between Chu and Han, there was no huge mistake. "(Liu Hou) has been following Hanwang", which is helpful for planning and decision-making.
A typical example is the incident in which Han Xin asked Qi to establish a pseudo-king after Qi. The Chronicle of the Emperor Gaozu said: "Han Xin's destruction of Qi makes people say:' Qi Bian Chu, who despises power, is not a pseudo-king, and I am afraid there will be no peace. "Hanwang want to attack it, Liu Hou said,' you'd better stand up and protect yourself. Zhang Cha made Han Xin king of Qi. "This incident is the most detailed one recorded in The Family of Stay Hou, The Family of Prime Minister Chen and The Biography of Huaiyin Hou, but it is also the most impossible version in terms of plot. The last one is a copy, and it makes sense to combine the first three versions:
Han four years, Ping. It makes people say that Hanwang said: "The change of Qi, Fake and Bullying will restore the country. Chu in the south is not a town of a puppet king, and the situation is uncertain. I would like to be a fake king. " At that time, Chu rushed to surround Hanwang in Xingyang, and special envoy Han Xin arrived and issued letters. Hanwang was furious and scolded, "I am trapped here. I hope that if I come to help me, I will stand on my own feet and be king!" " Chen Ping Nie Hanwang. Hanwang also realized that this was a thick encounter with the envoy of Qi State, and Hanwang wanted to attack it. Sean said, "You'd better stand up and defend yourself. Zhang Zifang was sent to make Han Xin king of Qi. Recruit its soldiers to attack Chu.
Obviously, it is not enough to say a word, at least it should be engraved first. In this way, it will take about two or three months to upload the imperial edict of the King of Qi in February of the fifth year of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. At least this is much faster than letting Zhang Er be the prince of Zhao.
As well as the land to be built in Guling in the near future, no matter whether it is to seal the king or divide the land, it is a blank check at this time, but both Han Peng bought this set. In other words, in controlling subordinates, Liu Bang is better at wooing people with feelings, while Sean prefers to appease and woo people with fame and fortune. Looking at his strategy, when he hit Guan Yu, he said, "Jia Shu is easy to move for profit." Later, when Chen Yi rebelled, Liu Bang rebelled against his ministry with gold. When Hanzhong was invited, he gave all the gifts that Liu Bang gave to Xiang Bo. Make Han Xin the real King of Qi; Give Han Peng a copy; Feng Yongzhi is waiting for Hou ... there may be something that has not been recorded in history. All these plans are based on fame and fortune.
On the contrary, Sean's indifference to fame and fortune is incomprehensible, but he attaches great importance to feelings. 30,000 households resigned from the award, as long as they stayed in the county where they met. Except for Ying Bu, who is an orphan, he served as the Prince of Shaofu and did not hold any post. Needless to say, in order to assassinate Qin Huang in South Korea, he "didn't love all the money" and later tried to restore the country. South Korea was indeed rebuilt, but Han Wangxin opposed it.
This stage, from the planning of Xiayi to Han Wangxin's surrender to Xiongnu, can be described as Liu Bang's "bidding" period for Sean.
Fourth, the guessing period.
Call it conjecture, which naturally comes from the bold conjecture of historical materials.
At the end of "Stay at Houjia", a declared passage was recorded: "The family is close to Korea, and Korea is extinct. I don't love all kinds of wealth, and Qiang Qin's revenge on North Korea shook the world. Today, with the golden tongue of three inches as the master, ten thousand households are sealed, ranking first, and this cloth is extremely good for evil. I am willing to abandon human affairs and want to swim in red pine. "
When was this passage said? There is no clear record, but when the Han Dynasty decided to move its capital to Guanzhong in five years, it said, "Liu Hou entered the customs. Liu Hou is sick, that is, the Tao does not eat the valley, and Dumen is not old. "
I think there is something wrong with this paragraph. Liu Jing said that the capital will not be established until at least May. If Dumen is under the age of 20, where should the policy of "sealing the enemy" come from after April? Obviously, during this period, Sean was kicked out of the house.
In the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, Han Wangxin, who moved elsewhere, surrendered to the Huns. From then on, Han Wangxin was killed until the spring of the eleventh year of the Han Dynasty. During this period, Sean seemed to disappear from this world, and it was not until Ying Bu was recruited that he reappeared.
The relationship between Han Wangxin and Sean has been clearly recorded in two aspects. First, in the Biography of Lu Wan, Han Xin said, "Pei Gong led the troops to attack Yangcheng, so that he went down to Han's hometown with Han Situ and won trust, thinking that Han Jiang would send troops from Pei Gong to Wuguan." The other is based on Xiang Yu's biography: "The Han Dynasty made Sean biased towards North Korea." Judging from these two records, Wang Hanxin was Sean's subordinate at first, then Sean's boss, entered the customs with Liu Bang, then parted ways, and then stood with South Korea.
In this way, Sean's claim is likely to show his position when korean king was perfidious. One shows that what he did for Korea before was to repay his family's kindness to Korea. Both of them expressed satisfaction. "Take the three-inch golden tongue as the master, and seal every household, ranking first. This cloth is excellent." The three show that they don't want to take care of anything, but "are willing to abandon human affairs and want to swim from the red pine." However, Dumen began at that time, when he could not be a teenager.
There is only one article in "Stay at Houjia", "Liu Hou attacked the generation from top to bottom, made a coup for Ma Su, and made Xiao He the prime minister ...", If it is a letter from Han Wangxin, according to the history book, "It is freezing, and the foot soldiers fall into the fingers." In this kind of weather, Sean is sick and unconscious, not to mention that the other party is an old club that has a lot to do with him.
According to Hanshu, Sean and Han Xin arranged the art of war. Sean stayed in Doumen for more than a year, and was reduced to Huaiyin Hou in the sixth year of Han Dynasty, and was killed in the spring of the eleventh year of Han Dynasty.
Sorting out Sun Tzu's Art of War is obviously not something that can be completed in a short time. Besides, according to the list, Han Xin himself has written three articles, which is a conservative figure for a year or two. So after the Han Wangxin incident, I stayed indoors for more than eight years, which was the eighth year of the Han Dynasty. Since then, the influence of the Han Wangxin incident has gradually weakened. During this period, I sorted out the art of war, probably in the tenth year of the Han Dynasty.
In August of the 10th year of the Han Dynasty, Chen Si turned against imperialism. Although Han Wangxin also attended, but at this point, he is not facing his old club. Sean wants to do some hard work. At the same time, Han Xin was punished, and Xiao He was made prime minister during this period. Later, when Ying Bu rebelled, Sean said, "I should follow", but he also followed Liu Bang to rehabilitate himself before being introduced.
This stage is a guessing period because there are too few historical materials.
Fifth, the recovery period
During Ying Bu's Anti-Japanese War, Sean's last suggestion was to put forward the resettlement of military power: "Make the prince a general and supervise the soldiers in Guanzhong." And Liu Bang is also very emotional. "Although the ovary is sick, it is stronger and stronger than the prince." At this time, Liu Bang was ill, and all his ministers were sent to Bashang. It can be seen that the court is not optimistic about Liu Bang's health, and so is Liu Bang himself. His decision is to give the prince to Sean. What he thinks is probably: if there is one, the ovary will be stable.
On the means of political skill, if we compare them, Sean is more shrewd and sharp, and he also has a strategic vision of the overall situation, and occasionally comes up with some fantastic ideas. Moreover, he "calmly said that there are many things in the world, so it is not the existence of the world, so it is impossible to do it." "The high-impedance hates the bitter army, and there are also plans from Xiao and Zhang, so he has to rest without preparation." (Strategically, the "History Book" wins and loses invisibly, and the skill of Huang Lao seems weak and holds on. Usually there are not many signs, but it will be successful.
But Liu Bang came back alive, which is probably the subtle psychology of his later years. "This disease is very beneficial, and the more he wants to be a prince. Liu Hou protested, but he didn't listen because he was ill. " The only time he didn't listen, Sean just said he was sick (but he was really sick).
With regard to the abolition of the Prince, later generations speculated the participants' ideas from various aspects, but judging from Sean's consistent style, the normal procedure should be for Liu Bangxian to ask Sean how to abolish the Prince. From the rhetoric of being good and being good, Sean gently replied to Liu Bang, "The world is eager to be a dead prince."
To abolish the prince, kill him first! Kill those who support the prince.
This is probably Sean's message to Liu Bang.
Liu Bang had just sung "Song of the Wind" before, and "Andrew's valiant men want to keep all directions". How could he have the heart to kill the hero again? Later, Fan Kuai was killed because some people said that Fan Kuai wanted to kill Lady Qi and had nothing to do with the abolition of the Prince.
The warm-up time is too short. In April of the twelfth year of Emperor Gaozu, he died in Changle Palace.
