In the Battle of Jingsuo, there were many captured by Chu Cai, including many Loufu instructors hired by Xiang Yu with high salaries. The captives were educated and reformed, a small part was placed in various units, and most of them were incorporated into the infant army. From then on, the Han army had an invincible cavalry corps.
Chu cavalry died more than 10,000 in battle, and Xiang Zhuang was also among them. Liu Bang ordered someone to properly collect Xiang Zhuang and return it to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Zhuang was hit by more than ten arrows in his body, and his death was tragic. When the Han army cleaned up the body, they only cut off the shaft of the arrow outside, and the cluster of arrows remained in the body. Xiang Yu was in deep pain, and personally pulled out the arrows for him one by one, wrapped the wounds, and cried so darkly.
When he was buried, Xiang Yu planned to kill Liu Taigong and Lu Pheasant, who were under house arrest in the military camp, and give Xiang Zhuang a burial. Since the Wuzhong incident, Xiang Yu has lost many relatives, Liu Bang's relatives are so hard-hitting, none of them have died so far, now you might as well kill two, and let Liu Bang taste the taste of losing relatives.
Xiang Bo did not agree to the execution of Liu Taigong and Lü Pheasant. Being on the battlefield, life and death have their own destiny, not necessarily people should line up for you to cut off your head, but he can't kill your people? The revenge on the battlefield should be avenged on the battlefield, what is the hostage?
Fan Zeng was also against the killing of hostages. Killing people has no practical benefit at all except venting anger. Let the hostages live, somewhat of a use, and if they die, they are worthless!
The two bigwigs were opposed, and Xiang Yu had to sanitize the idea of killing people to vent his anger, but he secretly vowed in his heart: Today's enemy must be repaid by Liu Bang. Liu Bang robbed him of his money, and the people who killed him did not get it back with interest, and vowed not to give up!
On the third day after the Battle of Jingsuo, Yin Xiangle, the commander of Chu who was in charge of staying in Pengcheng, sent a messenger to deliver bad news to Xiang Yu: half a month ago, the king of Jiujiang, Dubu, raised his army to surrender to Han and attacked Huainan.
Xiang Yu was furious, ordered someone to set up the big ding, and threw the messenger into the ding to cook and kill.
The messenger is only the one who delivers the bad news, not the one who makes the bad news.
Xiang Yu has his own reason: it has been more than half a month since Huang Bu rebelled against Chu, assuming that the messenger is a little more dedicated, runs faster on the road, and delivers the news a few days earlier, he will definitely personally lead the cavalry corps to Huainan to slaughter Tuibu, instead of hurriedly attacking Xingyang, then won't his cavalry corps be saved? Xiang Zhuang can also be spared from misfortune. If the letter is not delivered in time, who does not complain about the messenger?
Xiang Yutie blushed, pointed to the messenger boiling in boiling water, and said to his generals and attendants: I want everyone to see, this is the end of laziness and mistakes!
Xiang Yu's character is that if something is done badly, he will definitely blame others, and he will never reflect on his own mistakes. Not to mention the defeat of Jingsuo, it was mainly because of his blind impulsiveness, and the responsibility for the messenger's late arrival was not on the messenger, but on the unreasonable process - the magistrate first sent the news to Pengcheng, and then Pengcheng conveyed it to Xiang Yu, and after one more turn, the letter came naturally late.
If the process is unreasonable, who is responsible? Xiang Yu is undoubtedly primarily responsible.
Assuming that the magistrate dispatched messengers to send the news of Duo Bu's rebellion against Chu to Pengcheng and Xiang Yu's army at the same time, Xiang Yu would have been able to get the news a few days earlier, and perhaps he would not be in a hurry to fight, and a major defeat could have been avoided!
Therefore, if the details are a little worse, it may be "a small difference, a thousand miles away". But the difference in details is not necessarily a person's negligence, but reflects the management level of the entire team.
So what's going on with the Cloth Surrendering Han? Tu Bu was once a general relied on by Xiang Yu, he was very rewarded, he was set up as the king of Huainan, and he had no friendship with Liu Bangsu, why did he suddenly rebel against Chu and surrender to Han? Not only did Xiang Yu not figure it out, but everyone who heard it was surprised.
Only Liu Bang is not surprised.
In the past, Tu Bu was an underworld hero, and robbing homes was his old job. And Liu Bang is an "expert in fighting gangsters", who has dealt with gangsters a lot and is familiar with their thinking patterns. An opportunist like Du Bu who broke out of the road of crime has no loyalty but "profit maximization" in his heart. In the past, he betrayed Wu Rui and took refuge in Xiang Liang, not because he liked Xiang Liang and hated Wu Rui, but because he felt that it was more promising to mix with Xiang Liang, he chose to betray without hesitation.
However, he is a speculator, not an opportunist. "Home" is a person with a head, a face and a bottom line, unlike a "molecule" that rotates with the flow and changes nine times a day. What is Speculator? When choosing a project, speculate to see the direction of the wind, invest in doing practical things when doing projects, do not fantasize about getting something for nothing, and do not pursue a million profits. In the Xiang Group, he has always been active, made countless meritorious contributions, and was finally named the king of Jiujiang, mainly by merit rather than relationship.
Tu Bu has little ambition, as long as he sits on the ground and is satisfied. Now his wish has come true, he just wants to enjoy wealth and prosperity, and has no intention of continuing to work hard. The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the war in the world is rekindled, and the princes from all walks of life are alarmed, he can't stay out of the matter, so he has to use his brain to make the best choice in the complex situation.
When Xiang Yu attacked Tian Rong, the king of Qi, he asked Duo Bu to send troops to help in the battle. He was not afraid of offending Tian Rong, so he sent 4,000 of his men to "follow the elements", but he refused to go out in person. He thought it was interesting enough to help this far!
Liu Bang sent troops to attack Chu, and Xiang Yu asked Duo Bu to send troops to help in the battle, but Duo Bu said that he would not do anything this time. Liu Bang gathered the princes by force, he was a figure who couldn't afford to offend, in order to help Xiang Yu, he put himself in, he was not so stupid!
Soon after, Xiang Yu defeated the coalition of princes, and sent envoys to ask for the help of Duo Bu in the battle, in an attempt to annihilate Liu Bang in one fell swoop. Di Bu believes that victory and defeat are commonplace, and the days that follow are still long, and he does not want to wade into this troubled water. Moreover, in the battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu eliminated mainly the princes' soldiers, Liu Bang's descendants were not seriously damaged, and they could be ** at any time, and now Liu Bang is offended, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no day when the autumn queen will settle accounts in the future. The best way is to stand still, and not to offend.
Liu Bang's judgment of the battle situation is similar to that of Tu Bu, a temporary failure is not a failure, and there is a lot of drama behind it. He is also aware of the mentality of Tu Bu - Tu Bu swayed between Liu Xiang, mainly because he didn't see the gains and losses. If you explain the stakes to him, it is possible to win him over.
After the defeat of the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang sent Confucian scholars to follow the strategy against Tu Bu on the way to lead his troops to the west, and believed that as long as Di Bu sent troops to betray Chu and dragged Xiang Yu's troops for several months, he would be 100% sure that he could take the whole world (I can take the whole world).
Sui He was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and bravely accepted the mission of Jiujiang.
