In the first 206 years (the first year of Emperor Gaozu), Xiang Yu hosted a banquet for Liu Bang in Hongmen. During the dinner, Fan Zeng, the adviser of Xiang Yu, repeatedly raised his eyes to signal Xiang Yu, and repeatedly raised the Yu Pei he was wearing, suggesting that he would make a quick decision and kill Liu Bang. Xiang Yu hesitated, but silently should not.

Fan Zeng had to call the samurai Xiang Zhuang from outside the tent and instruct him to make swords and knives, waiting for an opportunity to kill Liu Bang. Xiang Bo saw the flaw, drew his sword and danced, always protecting Liu Bang with his own body.

Sean saw that things were not good, so he quickly got up and went out to find Fan Kuai and ordered him to escort him as soon as possible. Without further ado, Fan Kuai broke into the military gate with a sword and shield, and went straight to the outside of the account. His eyes glared at Xiang Yu and his hair stood on end, which was great courage.

Xiang Yu was surprised and asked, "Who is this?" Sean replied: "It's Pei Gong's bodyguard Fan Kuai." Xiang Yu said, "A hero, give him wine!" The left and right attendants were holding a large glass of wine, and Fan Kuai stood and gulped it down.

Then he advised him to drink, and criticized Xiang Yu by using the topic: "I will not avoid death, and I will do what I say!" Then, he sternly stated Liu Bang's efforts and loyalty, accusing Xiang Yu of being too suspicious.

Xiang Yu was shocked by his impassioned words for an instant and was speechless. He just called Fan Kuai, "Sit down!" Fan Kuai returned to Sean and sat down.

After a while, seeing that things were getting better, Liu Bang made an excuse to go to the toilet and asked Fan Kuai to pay the bill. Sean came out. Three people to discuss the countermeasures, decided by Fan Kuai to protect liu bang, Sean to stay and deal with the situation. ?

In this life-and-death struggle, Sean, with his great wisdom and courage, not only skillfully helped Liu Bang escape from the jaws of death, but also buried the bane of the estrangement between monarch and minister in Xiang Yu.

2. Dark Chen Cang

In the first month of the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), Xiang Yu bullied the weak and stood on his own feet as the overlord of the western Chu, making Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province) his capital, and taking charge of Liang and Chu counties. He "calculated to cede territory" and enfeoffed 18 princes.

It also violated the agreement of Emperor Chu Yi that "whoever breaks into Guanzhong first is the king of Guanzhong" and enfeoffed Liu Bang to the remote and desolate Bashu, known as Hanwang in history.

The actual land was divided into three parts and given to the three generals of Qin to curb Liu Bang's northward movement. Liu Bang was disgusted and wanted to lead an army to attack Xiang Yu. After Xiao He and Sean dissuaded him many times, he decided not to send it for the time being.

The enfeoffment system in the world has been decided, and Sean intends to leave Liu Bang and return to South Korea to work for Han Wangcheng. Liu Bang gave one hundred gold medals and two pearls. So Sean gave all the golden beads to Xiang Bo and asked him to make Hanzhong Hanwang.

Xiang Bo cynical, immediately to persuade xiang yu. In this way, Liu Bang established Nanzheng (now the northeast of Nanzheng County, Shaanxi Province) as his capital, occupying the land of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong counties south of Qinling Mountains.

In July of the same year, Sean sent Liu Bang to Baozhong (now Baocheng, Shaanxi Province). Surrounded by mountains, there are cliffs along the way, and there is only a plank road overhead for pedestrians to pass, so there is no other way.

Sean observed the terrain and suggested that Liu Bang burn all the plank roads that entered Shu after the Han army, indicating that he had no intention of looking east, so as to eliminate Xiang Yu's suspicion and guard against other people's attacks.

In this way, you can take the opportunity to save your strength, wait for the opportunity, and then make great achievements. According to the plan, Liu Bang burned the plank road along the way. Sean's plan was well-intentioned, which made an important guarantee for Liu Bang's consolidation and development as well as his eastward advancement in the future.

After Liu Bang entered Hanzhong, he made great efforts to recuperate. In August of the same year, Liu Bang used general Han Xin's stratagem to avoid the frontal defense of Wang Yong and Zhang Han, and took the opportunity to "sneak into Chencang" from the old road (now Baoji, Shaanxi), and unexpectedly defeated Wang Yong Zhang Han, Wang Sai Sima Xin and Zhai Wangdongkun from the side, so as to pacify Sanqin in one fell swoop and seize the treasure of Guanzhong.

With a brief plan of three qins, Liu Bang can compete with Xiang Yu in Guanzhong area, which won by virtue of wealth. A "Ming Xiu" and a "Secret Crossing", Zhang and Han joined hands and made a perfect match, which became a historical story.

3. Xia Yi's ingenuity

In 205 BC, Liu Banglian, who went out from Hanzhong to conquer the world, won a winning streak, and his army soon reached 560,000, and he repeatedly surrendered to five princes, namely, Shenyang, Han Wangchang, Wei and Yin.

Xiang Yu concentrated on attacking Tian Rong and directly attacked Pengcheng, the capital of Chu Army. The victory came too smoothly and too quickly. Liu bang was a little carried away by victory. He forgot to continue to take appropriate political and economic measures to appease and win the hearts of the people. Instead, he collects gold, silver and jewels with ecstasy and indulges in drinking all day.

As a result, Xiang Yu won the opportunity to rest. When he learned that Cheng Peng had fallen, he led 30,000 chosen men back to Cheng Peng from the path to give him first aid.

The situation was quickly reversed, and hundreds of thousands of martial arts divisions of Liu Bang were addicted to the joy of victory. They were not only lazy and sloppy, but also did not listen to the coordinated command and even prepared for their salaries.

In the first world war between the two armies, Liu Bang's army was defeated and almost completely annihilated.

Many C have it both ways, one after another, favored Xiang Yu and turned their backs on Liu Bang. He had to take Sean and a dozen other generals to escape quickly.

Liu Bang fled to Xiayi, leaned on the saddle and said to Sean, "I want to give up the place east of Hanguguan to reward talents and make contributions for me. Who do you think is suitable for me to achieve fame? "

Zhang Liangdao: King Jiujiang (also known as hanged) was one of the leaders of the rebel army at the end of Qin Dynasty. First vote for Xiang Yu, then vote for Liu Bang), and the State of Chu will be a valiant soldier. This man has always been at odds with Xiang Yu, so he can win him over.

In addition, there is Peng Yue (Peng Yue was also one of the leaders of the rebel army at the end of Qin Dynasty, and now he is active in the area of Shandong and Hebei. When Xiang Yu was enfeoffed as a vassal, he was left out in the cold, so he always held a grudge against Xiang Yu. Now he joined forces with Tian Rong of Qi to fight against Chu in Liang.

These two men, both located in the heart of Xiang Yu, are Indiana Jones. And your king, your subordinate generals, only Han Xin is resourceful and useful enough to entrust great things. If the king really wants to raise generals with kanto region, he should reward these three men, so as to defeat Chu.

After listening to this, Liu Bang is still in high spirits, thinking that this is indeed a clever plan to defeat the strong with the weak. If implemented, it is likely to win.

So he sent Emperor Yangdi, a famous minister who was good at arguing, to Jiujiang, fanned the flames in the ears of King Jiujiang, encouraged him to rebel, and then sent messengers to contact him. At the same time, Han Xin was ordered to attack Yan, Zhao and other places, develop and strengthen the strength of the Han army, and then outflank the Chu army.

4. Xu Fu Han Peng

In the first 203 years (the fourth year of Emperor Gaozu), the Han Dynasty had gradually formed an encirclement of Chu: Han Xin attacked the Chu army continuously according to his position, and Peng Yue sent troops from Emperor Liang to cut off the food supply of the Chu army many times. The Chu army was exhausted and Xiang Yu was helpless. Finally, he returned to Liu Bang's detained father, wife and children to make peace with Liu Bang.

The two sides agreed to divide the world, with Chu in the east and Han in the west, and agreed to disarm and return home without committing crimes. Xiang Yu went to Pengcheng as promised. Liu Bang also wants to lead the troops west to Hanzhong.

At this important turning point, Sean, with the profound vision of a political strategist, saw that Xiang Yu was caught between Scylla and Charybdis.

However, he remonstrated with Hanwang, saying, "Today, the population of Han is two-thirds, and it is beneficial to destroy Chu. It is advisable to pursue the poor bandits and make every effort to do this. Otherwise, if you let Chu go east, if you let the tiger go mountain, there will be endless troubles. "

Liu Bang took Sean's advice, led an army to pursue Xiang Yu, and surrounded Xiang Yu with Han Xin and Peng Yue.

Liu Bang led the army to pursue the Chu army to Guling (now Taikang, Henan Province), but failed to wait for reinforcements led by Han Xin and Peng Yue.

Liu Bang hid in the barrier of Guling and asked Sean around him anxiously, "Why didn't they arrive as scheduled?" At this time, the thoughts of Han and Peng have long been clear, and the corresponding measures have matured.

Seeing Liu Bang's inquiry, he quickly replied: "Chu Bing will die. Although Han Xin and Peng Yue have been crowned kings, they have no clear boundaries. This is the reason why they didn't come to the appointment this time. If your majesty can share the world with him, he can recruit two generals. Otherwise, the final success or failure is still unknown. "

Liu Bang was bent on solving the urgent need, so according to Zhang's words, he drew Wang Han Xin, from the east to Chen Coastal. The area from the north of Suiyang to Gucheng was sealed to Peng Yue, the king of Liang. Two months later, Han and Peng sent troops to help.

5. convince the capital of Guanzhong

One day, Liu Bang saw people sitting on the sand whispering on the pavilion road and asked Sean what they were talking about.

Sean deliberately alarmist said: "They are talking about rebellion!" Liu Bang was surprised and asked, "The world has been decided. Why do they want to rebel?" .

Sean replied: You started with civilians, and you won the world with these. Now you are the son of heaven, the person you usually love has been blocked, and the person you usually hate has been killed.

Now North Korea is counting its military achievements. If all the people are enfeoffed, the land in the world will be limited after all. These people are afraid that you can't reward them, and they are afraid that you will pursue their consistent mistakes and eventually be killed. Therefore, they got together to discuss the rebellion!

Liu Bang hurriedly asked, "What should I do?" Sean asked; "Who is the person you hate most at ordinary times? Who do ministers know?" Liu Bang replied, "That's Yong Chi".

Sean said, "Then you should reward Yongchi first. The ministers were relieved to see that Yong Chi was rewarded. " Therefore, Liu Bang arranged a banquet for the ministers, and sealed the ten princes of Yongchu on the spot, and also urged the Prime Minister and the imperial envoys to make a quick decision.

When ministers saw this, they were all happy, and they all talked about it: "We don't have to worry if people like Yongchi can seal the Hou." .

Sean's move not only corrected Liu Bang's malpractice of cronyism and self-interest, but also eased the contradiction easily and avoided a possible turmoil. His political skills, such as calming an enemy and strengthening people's hearts, are often copied by later politicians.
