Liu Xiang confronted Yu Guangwu, and both sides were waiting. Liu Bang was waiting for the collapse of the Chu State. Xiang Yu was waiting for Liu Bang to give a happy word: How to solve this matter?
Now, Xiang Yu no longer had illusions about defeating Liu Bang, and only hoped to withdraw his troops with dignity and ensure the interests of the Chu State.
Xiang Yu is not a person who is willing to admit defeat, but he knows current affairs. People in the rivers and lakes, knowing the current affairs is the basic way of survival. More than ten years of experience in the rivers and lakes told him when to stop in moderation and when to make inches.
The grasp of proportion is also very important: the robbery road cannot be stripped of the last copper plate of the people, and the car and horse money must be left "kindly"; The collection of "protection fees" cannot take away half of people's belongings, but can only draw a number of dividends. If you do too much, you will die quickly. Xiang Yu learned a lot from Xiang Liang, and he understood the basic truths, but he didn't grasp them thoroughly, at the Hongmen Conference, he was clamored by Fan Zeng and others, and many things went beyond the normal proportions, discounted some people's merits, deprived some people's welfare to nothing, and offended more than half of the powerful people of Chu State.
Assuming that everything is done according to Xiang Yu's ideas, he will not do so much when dividing the princes, and blame Fan Zeng for that old gentleman, who has a crooked idea. In the past, Xiang Yu didn't quite understand, why did Xiang Liang try to win over the leading figures in Wuzhong and not offend? Now I understand - don't cause trouble if you don't have to!
Whether the past is right or wrong, we can't think about it anymore, how to clean up this mess in front of us? This does not depend on his subjective wishes, the key depends on what Liu Bang says. Now, most of the world belongs to the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang has become the de facto overlord of the world. He chased Liu Bang all over the field, nothing more than wanted Liu Bang to make a promise: to clearly attribute the interests of the Chu State to his name.
However, Liu Bang obviously did not think that the state of Chu was Xiang Yu's legitimate income, and had already sent Liu Jia and Lu Juan to cut off a large piece of Chu land, and also showed the momentum of further annexation.
Xiang Yu thought of his grandfather Xiang Liang, and the situation in front of him was the same as that of his grandfather: a dilemma.
How to solve the problem?
He used his brains and tried his best, and finally thought of Mrs. Liu. He left Mrs. Liu in the barracks and raised him for more than two years, and he has been taking care of him for a long time. Now the situation is not good, and I have no choice but to ask the old gentleman to appear!
Guangwu Mountain has the east and west Guangwu City, Xiang Yu occupies the East City, Liu Bang occupies the West City, there is a gap between the two cities, also known as Guangwu Stream. Xiang Yu sent someone to make a tall cutting board in Jiandong, put Liu Taigong on it, set up a cauldron, and boiled the boiling water.
Liu Taigong has been captured so far, and he is expected to not be able to get out of the Chu camp alive, so he has long put life and death out of the way. At this moment, he expected that his last moment had come, and instead of being sad, he was very relieved: Xiang Yu treated him well before, which was a sign of self-confidence. The better Xiang Yu treats him, the more he worries about his children and grandchildren. Now that Xiang Yu is making crooked moves, he must be exhausted in donkey skills! Xiang Yu, a descendant, looks quite face-loving, Dafan still has a way to think, how can he make a fuss about an old one? As long as the son wins, the grandchildren are safe, and he can take this old life by himself, he can also smile at Jiuquan!
Xiang Yu sent an envoy to deliver a message to Liu Bang: "If you don't surrender immediately, I will cook Taigong!" ”
Liu Bang was not afraid of Xiang Yu's strong force, but he was afraid that Xiang Yu would play hooligans, so he had no way to think about it, so he urgently summoned the senior staff to ask questions. How dare you come up with ideas! It must not be said: the world is big, what is Dad? If he wants to cook, let him cook! I can't say: Daddy is big, what is the world, he just give it to him if he wants!
Zhang Liang is good at understanding the intentions of the leadership, and knows that Liu Bang asks everyone to give ideas, just to let everyone share the responsibility. This matter is about human and family affection, can you take responsibility casually? But Liu Bang humbly asked, as the chief consultant, he couldn't keep silent. He pricked up his fingers and said with a serious face: First, we must ensure the personal safety of the Taigong, and second, we must not succumb to Xiang Yu's obscenity, so we must come up with a foolproof strategy and take care of both.
The senior staff echoed in unison: Zhang Gong's words are reasonable!
Liu Bang thought: Who wouldn't say the right nonsense? I want a concrete solution. He said: Taigong is in danger, I am in turmoil, I don't know what to do, please give me an idea, no matter what the result is, I am only grateful to everyone, and I will never blame!
But no one would come up with a definite idea, and they discussed it back and forth, and talked a lot of nonsense, but none of them got to the point.
Chen Ping saw that everyone wanted to protect themselves, so he had to reluctantly come up with an idea and said: The Xiang clan formed an alliance with nepotism, gathered people with kinship, opened up brothers, and closed their mouths, so they might as well take advantage of this, and tell him like this, things may take a turn for the better.
Everyone wanted to do it early, and they all agreed: this plan is strange, you can give it a try.
Liu Bang said: Everyone says that this method is feasible, so I will give it a try according to everyone's meaning!
So, he summoned Xiang Yu's envoy and said, "Please bring a message to King Xiang for me: You and I have both been vassals in front of King Huai, and we have agreed to be brothers, my father is your father, you must cook your father, please give me a cup of soup." ”
When the envoy left, Chen Ping privately stuffed him with several boxes of gold and silver treasures, and at the same time asked the envoy to bring several boxes of treasures to Uncle Xiang, and asked Uncle Xiang to try to rescue the prince.
After the envoy returned, he first explained to Xiang Bo Liu Bang's intention to ask for help, and then conveyed Liu Bang's words to Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu heard this, he was furious and wanted to kill Liu Taigong, so he would speak out first.
Xiang Bo hurriedly persuaded: "Things in the world are unpredictable. Besides, the people who fight the world don't care about their families and kill Mrs. Liu, there is no benefit, it can only increase the disaster! ”
Xiang Yu understands the meaning of "increasing the calamity": It's okay if you win, but if you lose, do you want your wife and children? Do you want uncles and brothers? Do you still want relatives of the three tribes? If you kill the Liu family today, the Xiang family will only be afraid that you will have to use hundreds of heads to pay off the debt in the future!
So, he finally swallowed his breath, listened to Uncle Xiang's advice, and still brought Liu Taigong back to the barracks to make a living.
From the perspective of protecting the family, Xiang Yu made the right decision this time. The core of Liu Bang's governance is "filial piety", and "filial piety" is listed as the first virtue of human ethics. Assuming that Liu Taigong is killed, Liu Bang will have to cut off some heads as sacrifices in order to prove that he is a filial son, including Xiang Yu's only son, Xiang Long.
So: sometimes, letting others go is the same as letting go of yourself.
