The ruffian Liu Bang, why did the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty follow him? The grievances between Empress Lu and Mrs. Qi
When it comes to Liu Bang, we always think of two words: the small people in the market and the crime of wanton killing. But why hasn't anyone thought about why Liu Bang was able to make a difference? In terms of personal ability, the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty may be stronger than Liu Bang, but they all work for Liu Bang wholeheartedly. It is said that the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty achieved Liu Bang, but why did Liu Bang not achieve the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty?
Xiao He: He came to Liu Bang because he didn't want to take any risks.
Xiao He can be said to be Liu Bang's logistics minister, before Liu Bang's uprising, Xiao He was only the chief of Pei County, but Xiao He led a group of ** in Pei County, and he was the chief reporter, and his status was obviously higher than Liu Bang, why did he follow Liu Bang later?
The original text of the Historical Records is:"Xiao and Cao, Wenchen love each other, I am afraid that it will not be possible, Qin raped his family and handed it over to Liu Ji. "At the time of the uprising, Xiao He and Cao Shen were both ** members of the local court and were elected as leaders together, but Xiao He and Cao Shen were worried that their families would be affected after the failure of the uprising, so they refused to take office. After the failure of the uprising, Xiao He and Cao Shen did not want to take over as leaders because they feared that their families would also be charged. Xiao He and Cao had seen Liu Bang and knew his intelligence. Liu Bang has"Seventy-two sunspots"、"Behead the son of the White Emperor"、"Born by vision"and other superstitions, the elders thought that Liu Bang was not an ordinary person, so they elected him as the leader.
After all, Xiao He is Feng Pei's descendant, he once worked under Liu Bang, and he is not bad to Liu Bang, of course he will not ask for it easily.
Zhang Liang: Liu Bang gave him the opportunity to show his talent.
Zhang Liang is a Korean nobleman, and his ancestors have been Korean prime ministers for five generations. After the fall of Korea, Zhang Liang harbored national hatred and family hatred, conspired to assassinate Qin Shi Huang in Bolangsha, and fled back to his hometown after failure. After that, the world was in turmoil at the end of Qin. Zhang Liang took advantage of Xiang Liang's alliance and with Xiang Liang's support, he stood up for the Han king, and later tried his best to help the Han king rebuild the country, but nothing was achieved. In July 207 BCE, Liu Bang led his army to capture Yingchuan on his way to Guanzhong, which was the first meeting between Zhang Liang and Liu Bang. The king of Han stayed behind in Yangzhai, and Zhang Liang led his troops south.
The reason why Zhang Liang enthusiastically followed Liu Bang is recorded as follows in the "Historical Records - Zhang Liang's Biography":"Liang repeatedly explained the art of war to Pei Gong, and Pei Gong was good at it and often used his strategies. Liang said:'It is commonly used by Pei Gongben'。"When Liang said this for others, not everyone noticed. Liang said:"God has blessed Pei Gong alone"。So he insisted on not going to Jingzhou"。In other words, Zhang Liang often gives Liu Bang advice, and Liu Bang can accept it, but Zhang Liang gives advice to others, and others can't understand it, so Zhang Liang thinks that Liu Bang is"God-granted"people. Since I think Liu Bang is"Commanded by Heaven"Zhang Liang did his best to help Liu Bang, because Liu Bang had achieved the goal of rebuilding the country and was doing his best for South Korea.
It can be seen that Zhang Liang finally chose Liu Bang because he was good at listening to opinions. What such a strategist lacks is just a platform to hone himself, and Liu Bang just provided him with such a platform, how could he not go all out?
Han Xin: Liu Bang courted him.
Han Shin's family was poor in his early years. After the chaos at the end of Qin, Han Xin first defected to Xiang Liang, and although he was fortunate to stay in Xiang Liang's army, he was silent and could not speak. After Xiang Liang's death, Han Xin returned to Xiang Yu, who appointed him as a lieutenant, but Xiang Yu's army did not accept him. After Han Xin left Chu and returned to Han, he only became a small clerk in charge of the warehouse and remained silent.
Later, Xiahou Ying talked with Han Xin and liked him very much, so he recommended him to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang only gave him an official position to manage food and salary. Later, he met Xiao He, who was in charge of logistics. Xiao He also appreciated him and recommended him to Liu Bang again, but Liu Bang did not accept it. Later, Liu Bang entered Shu, Han Xin wanted to escape again, Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon, and Han Xin was reused.
The reason why Han Xin followed Liu Bang with all his heart is that there is a similar record in "Historical Records-Han Xin's Biography":"The king of Han treated me well, and I rode in his chariot, dressed in his clothes, and ate his food. I have heard that if you ride in people's cars, bear people's worries, wear people's clothes, and eat people's food, you will die before you die, and the justice to the country cannot be doubled! "Han Xin is a person who values love and righteousness, he remembers his mother for food when he was a child, and repaid his mother after becoming famous, not forgetting Liu Bang's kindness.
That's right"The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself", Liu Bang reused Han Xin, and Han Xin was of course loyal. Perhaps from the perspective of future generations, when we learn of Han Shin's death, we may feel unwilling for his final fate, but from Han Shin's point of view, what is wrong with his choice?
In short, talent is important, but platform is not important? It is said that the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty made Liu Bang, but has anyone thought about it? Before Liu Bang, Xiao He was just a civil official. Zhang Liang was an assassination mastermind before Liu Bang. Han Xin was just a guard with a halberd in front of Liu Bang. But after Liu Bang defected, they began to make great strides, and eventually became famous.
Han Xin finally said:"I am a good general, Liu Bang is a good general. "Liu Bang's strength is to be good at recruiting talents, giving full play to everyone's strengths, and making talents useful.
