Chapter 35 Yongchi Fenghou

The world was initially settled, and Liu Bang began to seal the meritorious officials, but after sealing them, he still only sealed more than 20 cronies such as Xiao and Cao.Many generals felt dissatisfied and had great opinions. Some even started plotting. One day he was in Luoyang Nangong, standing on the high road and looking down, he saw a group of generals sitting in the sand talking, Liu Bang felt very strange, Zhang Liang said: "Don't you know, Your Majesty? These people are plotting a rebellion " Liu Bang couldn't understand: the world is now stable, why are they plotting rebellion?

Zhang Liang analyzed: "Your Majesty's Snake Uprising relied on these soldiers to fight to the death to seize the world. Now that the Qin Dynasty has been overthrown and Xiang Yu has also been defeated by His Majesty, you have become emperor. What the generals care about now is enfeoffment. Land and official positions. However, among the more than 20 people entrusted by His Majesty, all of them are Xiao He, Cao Shen and other people who are closest to His Majesty, and those who have been punished are all people who have resentment against His Majesty. Now, the generals are hoping that His Majesty will hurry up Enfeoffing them, at the same time worrying that the land is limited and it will not be their turn. Some people are afraid that if they offend His Majesty, they will be plotted by His Majesty. So they gathered together to plot trouble. If they are not handled properly, there will be civil strife. "

Liu Bang asked anxiously: "What should we do now?" Zhang Liang said: "I have a plan to deal with this situation. Please tell me, Your Majesty, who is the person you hate the most and everyone knows?" ?” Liu Bang gritted his teeth and said: "Of course it is Yong Chi! This man is brave in battle, has made many military exploits, and has prestige among the soldiers. But he is proud of his merits and speaks like a king or a minister. He has embarrassed me in front of the ministers several times. I I really wanted to kill this person, and vent my anger. But thinking that it was the time to employ people, I endured it." Zhang Liang clapped his hands and laughed, "That's all right, Your Majesty immediately conferred the title of Marquis on Yong Chi, Those who have military achievements and are worried that His Majesty will embarrass them, seeing that the people His Majesty hates the most are all entrusted, their worries will disappear, and they will rebel?"

When Liu Bang heard this, he thought to himself, Yong Chi once betrayed me, Liu Bang, and he was at the top of the list of "not to kill", so how could he give any rewards, but other than that, there is really no better candidate than Yong Chi.The overall situation is the most important thing, and the world is the most important thing, so let's seal it, even if you gnash your teeth. Speaking of the festival between Yongchi and Liu Bang, we can go back to when Liu Bang had just finished his mother's funeral. At that time, there was news that Chen Sheng was defeated and killed. This bad news was like a bolt from the blue to Liu Bang.In his heart, he admired Chen Sheng who was the first to raise the banner.Chen Sheng, who was also an out-and-out farmer, dared to risk the disgrace of the world and rose up in anger. Compared with his cowardly behavior of being wise and protecting himself, leading deserters to hide in the deep mountains of Daze, Chen Sheng can be described as great.There are too many things in him worth learning by yourself.

Liu Bang originally wanted to raise his troops to follow King Chen to do great things after he finished his funeral and kept his filial piety.However, the sudden change caught him by surprise.Before he had time to react, Qin Chao's army had already come to make fun of him.The reason is very simple. He killed the county magistrate of Pei County and established himself as the county magistrate. He is a typical revolutionary reactionary.The county guard of Surabaya personally led the Qin army to encircle and suppress him.At this time, Chen Sheng's rebel army was almost wiped out by Zhang Han, and he needed to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to make some credits to pave the way for his official career.

Facing the menacing Qin army, Liu Bang knew that if he didn't fight back at this time, he might never have the chance to fight back.So he gave Fan Kuai a wink, and Fan Kui killed the Qin army so badly that they fled in defeat.After a great victory, Liu Bang tasted the taste of betrayal before he had a taste of the wine of victory. Yong Chi, the guard who stayed in Fengyi, lost no time in setting fire behind his back, almost killing Liu Bang in the sea of ​​flames. After Liu Bang's uprising, Yong Chi also brought a few people to join him. Liu Bang was in the middle of employing people at that time, so naturally he would not refuse anyone who came.

Liu Bang asked Yong Chi to garrison Fengcheng. As soon as he left, the Wei army arrived on the back. The leader of the Wei army sent a message to Yong Chi, don't follow Liu Bang. If you surrender to us, you will be allowed to guard Fengcheng.Yong Chi thinks so too, although Wei Wang and Liu Bang are the same, but they are always strangers, unlike Liu Bang, who used to be a neighbor in the neighborhood, I am a head taller than him!Now it's better to surrender than to fall under his hands. Yong Chi readily agreed, and automatically left Liu Bang's camp. The reason why Yong Chi surrendered to Wei State without any hesitation was not only because he had a problem with Liu Bang, but also because Yong Chi looked down on Liu Bang's past. hooliganism.In Fengxiang, Yongchi's family is an absolutely famous family, and Yongchi himself can be regarded as an elegant gentleman. From the folks in the village, Yongchi knows Liu Bang's background very well, and has always despised Liu Bang in his heart, so he joined someone else's family , is not worth the fuss.

Now Liu Bang was furious: "Yong Chi, you bastard, I won't let you go." After attacking Fengxiang several times, Liu Bang was a little discouraged. Yong Chi had already prepared and strengthened the military fortifications. It was not easy to rush in.Liu Bang was anxious and angry, and now these fellow villagers followed Yong Chi to betray him, which made Liu Bang very sad. At that time, all the heroes in the world came together, and it was common for everyone to divide and unite. They each had their own interests and calculations, and they could understand each other. However, Yong Chi's behavior made it difficult for Liu Bang to understand. The reason why he surrendered was not because he had to, but because Looking down on himself, and looking down on himself as an old friend, how can he not let him feel chest tightness and hurt secretly?

Although Yong Chi surrendered again later, according to Liu Bang, he made great contributions, but Liu Bang felt uncomfortable when he saw this person, and he wanted to kill him quickly.He is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions, and the gang under him are all so thieves. In this way, everyone knows that Yong Chi is the person Liu Bang hates the most. Liu Bang agreed to Zhang Liang's idea, and he did what he said, set up a banquet, and made Yongchi the Marquis of Shifang in front of the ministers and generals, and asked the prime minister and the imperial censor to speed up the progress of awarding meritorious service.The generals who were preparing to attack a few days ago had a banquet and said happily: "It's all over now, don't worry about anything, we just wait for His Majesty's entrustment and reward."

Zhang Liang's little plan stabilized the situation in the early Han Dynasty.As for Yong Chi, it is equivalent to picking up a Shifang Hou.After the imperial decree, Yong Chi looked up to the sky and laughed. Marquis Shifang has 2,500 households in Shiyi. Although it is not as good as Xiao, Cao, and Zhang Liang's 10,000 households, he is still a vassal who dominates one side. Xing went to Shifang and took office immediately. He had feelings for Han Xin and Peng Yue, but even if the feelings were ten times stronger, he would still have to kill them, because they offended his ego and made him feel insecure. This was a conflict of interests.What Yong Chi offended was Liu Bang's ego, an ordinary person's need to be respected and valued by others. This is a battle of spirits.

A mature politician will of course put his interests above his will. The so-called hatred is exaggerated, but he doesn't really regard it as his bottom line. He lived in one breath until the third year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, by which time Liu Bang had already passed away. Among Liu Bang's followers, such good deaths are not too many. A person who benefits unexpectedly because of being hated makes people want to break his head and can't understand the mystery of fate.Compared with Yong Chi, others are not so lucky.At the same time as the feudal lord, Liu Bang began to kill the restless princes and kings under him.
