From February to August of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (203 BC), the world reproduced the scene before the end of the anti-Qin war: people from all walks of life did not move, and Liu Bang performed alone.
That time, Liu Bang performed well, leading tens of thousands of teachers to sweep away Guanzhong.
This time, Liu Bang led tens of thousands of partial divisions to fight against Xiang Yu alone, and the outcome was undecided.
The difference is that the audience this time was friendly troops, and Liu Bang had no right to dispatch them; This time, the audience was subordinates, and Liu Bang had the right to dispatch them, but they didn't listen to them.
The root of the problem lies in Han Xin - Han Xin is just a newcomer who has just been in the company for three years, and after only more than ten battles, he was crowned king and owned more than 70 cities in Qidi. His appointment was unreasonable, and when he had no merit, he suddenly became a general, above all the veteran generals; The reward for him is also unreasonable, he was given 300,000 horses, and he alone won the territory he had laid, how can there be such a reason in the world! Did he fight the battle alone?
Those veterans and generals who followed Liu Bang's uprising in the early years, most of them fought more than 100 battles, and some fought dozens of battles, and there were countless scars on their bodies. For example, the third person in Han Xin's army, the main cavalry general Guan Ying, has been following Liu Bang for six or seven years, killing the enemy, attacking the city, and making a lot of contributions. Liu Bang is so partial to Han Xin, is it fair?
The most intolerable thing is that Han Xin has gained a lot, but he refuses to give orders again and again, and refuses to do his duty, so why are others working so stupidly?
Faced with the complaints of his old subordinates, Liu Bang had no choice but to smile bitterly. He has the heart to kill Han Xin, what kind of preference! But he transferred most of his troops to Han Xin, and his troops were weak, and it was very difficult to fight against Xiang Yu, and he couldn't withstand any changes anymore! Han Xin supported his troops and asked for the throne, what else could he do except readily agree?
In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, Liu Bang also wanted to seal the generals too much, and the seals were all engraved, just waiting to be distributed to everyone, and Zhang Liang persuaded him in time. Zhang Liang's reason is: Once the feudal is divided, the generals will operate for their own personal interests, and they will not have the heart to think about the major affairs of the world.
The method of dividing the seal is not feasible, Liu Bang can only communicate more and say more good things, and encourage Zhu to continue to maintain the style of hard work and make more contributions to the eradication of Xiang Yu and the pacification of the world.
However, Liu Bang looked at the "outsider" of Duo Bu differently and became the king of Huainan. This move faintly revealed a message: those who call the king are not their own people.
Only the Patriarch will be able to decipher the meaning of this message. When Liu Bang first got up, he and his old comrades-in-arms discussed the gains and losses of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Qin Dynasty, synthesized the pros and cons of the two ways of governance, and designed a blueprint for the future of the world: ** The combination of centralization and the division of princes is the main point of inheriting the county system of the Qin Dynasty, dividing the princes and not setting up a "king with a different surname", on the one hand, to make up for the defects of the Qin Dynasty's centrifugal world, and on the other hand, to avoid the disadvantages of the disputes between the princes of the Warring States.
Since then, the situation has changed one after another, and no one is sure whether the original political ideals can be realized; Whether Liu Bang's original intention has changed, the old partners are not sure. Liu Bang told everyone by establishing a cloth instead of a veteran general: do not forget the original intention.
The logic is: do not set up one's own person as a "king with a different surname", unless he is not his own.
What if it's not your own? The "king" is a knife that must be cut at the person who wants it.
For Xiang Yu, the internal conflict of opinions in Liu Bang's group postponed the decisive battle, gave him a chance to breathe, and the pressure was reduced a lot. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to take advantage of this opportunity, so his situation didn't change because of this.
