Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-31

Lu Juan and Liu Bang are fellow villagers, born on the same day, and their relationship is very good, so that when Liu Bang raised the banner of anti-Qin, Lu Juan chose to follow without hesitation;Later, in the process of Liu Bang's domination of the world, Lu Juan also made many miraculous achievements.

After destroying the Yan King Zang Di, Han Gaozu named the "Fa Xiao" Lu Juan as the new Yan King. What is puzzling is that Liu Bang was so good to Lu Juan, but unfortunately he finally betrayed Liu Bang and took refuge in the Xiongnu;Why is that?The reason is probably that the fear of being extinguished is to find a way out for yourself.

After Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, obtained the world, he divided seven princes with different surnames;Most of them did not end well, and only Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, got a good death. As the king of Yan, Lu Juan was worried that he would also encounter accidents, so in order to protect himself, he betrayed Liu Bang.

When Lu Juan quelled Chen Xuan's rebellion, he kept a hand and secretly supported Chen Xuan's rebellion. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng was finally defeated by Liu Bang, and at the same time, Liu Bang also knew that Lu Juan had a relationship with Chen Feng;So Liu Bang sent Fan Xu and Zhou Bo to attack Yan State, and Lu Juan knew that the general situation had gone, so he retreated under the Great Wall, waiting for the opportunity to return to Chang'an to plead guilty.

At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was ill, and Lu Juan thought that when Liu Bang was well, he would go to Beijing to ask for guiltIt's a pity that it waited for the day of Liu Bang's death. Because he was afraid of Empress Lu's purge, he took refuge in the Xiongnu, and Lu Juan also died the following year.

Lu Juan actually did not have a good life in the Xiongnu, and he always thought about the Han Dynasty;It's a pity that I can't go back. As Liu Bang's closest person, he could have had a good ending, but he didn't cherish it;It is indeed regrettable. What do you think of such a historical figure?
