Chapter 29 Chapter 4 The Establishment of the Han Kingdom

Xiao He: "I hope that the king can first establish a political power in Hanzhong, recruit sages, and build the people's confidence in the dynasty; after Bashu is completely stabilized, he will conquer the areas under the jurisdiction of Guanzhong and the Three Qin Dynasty. After he has such strength, he will compete with Xiang Yu for the world." . "Han" in today's Sichuan Province has little to do with the Central Plains. Historically, although the Chinese claimed that the Han nationality originated from the "Great Han Civilization" established by Liu Bang in the future, Liu Bang's self-proclaimed "Han" was quite unwilling and unwilling to accept it under the pressure of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng. .

Liu Bang was forced into Hanzhong As soon as he heard that he was enfeoffed as King of Han, Liu Bang immediately sent someone to find out what kind of place it was. After knowing the real situation in Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong, Liu Bang was almost mad. Xiang Yu was obviously trying to punish him on purpose!A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, let alone a prince.Therefore, he decided to fight Xiang Yu to the death.Military generals Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, and Fan Kui opposed it with all their strength, because it was a war with no chance of winning in terms of strength. Xiao He, who has never raised any opinions, also put forward a strong opposite view:

"It is dangerous to establish a dynasty in Hanzhong, but it is better than sacrificing your life for nothing!" Liu Bang: "Why do you think that a fight with Xiang Yu must be a sacrifice?" Xiao He: "Obviously, our strength is not as good as theirs. If we fight like this, we will be defeated in every battle. What is it if we don't sacrifice for nothing?" "Being able to bear the great humiliation given by one person, but established the credit of the kingdom of ten thousand chariots, Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou have given us such a model. I hope that the king can first establish a political power in Hanzhong, recruit wise people, and establish a people's dynasty. confidence; after Bashu is completely stabilized, in turn conquer the kingdoms ruled by the three Qin generals in Guanzhong, and only after we have such strength can we come to compete with Xiang Yu for the world.”

In fact, Liu Bang is just talking about anger. He has always been pragmatic and calm, and he can bear the humiliation of Hongmen, so naturally he will not go all out at this juncture. Maybe he just wanted to try to see the reaction of his subordinates, otherwise no one would want to go, and he would become a real "lone king." Since everyone is against Rush, it is natural that they have the responsibility to go to Guanzhong to suffer together, so he quickly agreed with Xiao He's opinion, announced his acceptance of enfeoffment, and planned to go to Ba, Shu, and Hanzhong to establish a kingdom, and made Xiao He his prime minister.

Then Liu Bang, as King of Han, gave Zhang Liang a hundred gold and two pearls and two treasures to Zhang Liang, the military adviser of the guest Qing.Liu Bang also prepared more gifts, and asked Zhang Liang to send them to Xiang Bo, hoping that he would ask Xiang Yu to seal the entire Hanzhong Basin to Liu Bang; item requirements. Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin In order to make up for the imbalance in Liu Bang's heart, Xiang Yu allocated more than 30,000 soldiers and horses and asked them to follow Liu Bang's direct army into Hanzhong. In fact, during this period of time, Liu Bang performed very well, no matter in terms of bravery, tolerance, bearing and image, he had excellent performances.Therefore, it is recorded in "Historical Records Gaozu Benji":

"Among Chu State and other vassal states, there are as many as tens of thousands of people who followed Liu Bang into Hanzhong because of their admiration for Liu Bang's demeanor." The brigade entered the eclipse from the south of Du County, intending to enter Hanzhong by the meridian. Zhang Liang followed to Baozhong, and Liu Bang asked him to go back to the King of Han to report on his work first. After obtaining the understanding of the King of Han, he would then enter Hanzhong to assist Liu Bang. The invasion of troops, on the one hand, can also express to Xiang Yu that he has no intention of returning to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony, and relax the vigilance of Xiang's army.

Sure enough, the spies Fan Zeng sent to follow the crowd quickly reported the news to Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu relaxed his defense against Liu Bang. A large group of people climbed the mountain range of more than 3,000 meters. When they entered the meridian, they had to walk on many plank roads built by the predecessors. The plank road is an artificial passage built by first cutting through the rock wall and then using logs as pillars. The army and luggage must walk on it.Some plank roads are weak in structure and must be reinforced with military force first, while others have to be demolished and rebuilt at all, which is a huge and difficult project.

The bottom of the plank road is a deep valley, if you accidentally fall, you will be smashed to pieces, especially in some particularly dangerous places, only one person can pass through carefully alone, all food, utensils, and weapons must be carried by manpower one by one. All pedestrians can only walk along Climbing forward step by step along the mountain road, those who are physically weak or too careless often disappear into the bottom of the valley of thousands of feet of cloud and mist. During the march for several days, more and more people died of accidental mistakes, and the army was filled with a sad and miserable atmosphere.

Among the soldiers who followed, many lived in the plains, some of them were ordered to come, and some admired Liu Bang's leadership style, and wanted to follow him to Hanzhong to create a career. They had never lived in the mountains. , the first time I tasted the difficulties of living in the mountains, and the fear of being unfamiliar is the most unbearable: so a large number of people withdrew and fled back from the original road without saying goodbye. Soon, more and more people fled, and even many generals also left, which made Liu Bang's team worried. Liu Bang didn't seem to care. He neither hunted down the fugitives nor held them accountable.

It's not that Liu Bang is so generous, in fact, he is also helpless, but since he doesn't know what to do better, it's better to let nature take its course. Although he felt anxious and unhappy in his heart, he had to pretend to be very confident during the day, so Liu Bang often used wine to relieve the pressure in his heart at night, and his subordinates were quite understanding about this matter and did not give more advice; I just hope that Liu Bang can have more perseverance to support him. Until one morning, Liu Bang was awakened by a bad news. "Prime Minister Xiao He left privately last night."

Liu Bang was almost mad with anger, but also terrified at the same time! "How is it possible, even Xiao He has fled, who else can I rely on?" Losing his left and right hands, Liu Bang almost collapsed completely. Within a few days, Xiao He came back and reported to Liu Bang immediately. Liu Bang was angry and happy, and immediately asked after meeting: "How can you escape?" Xiao He said: "I don't dare to flee, I'm going to recover the fugitives." "Who are you going after?" "Han Xin." "Han Xin?" Liu Bang didn't have much impression of Han Xin, he only knew that he was a tall, gentle, middle-aged general who was good at reasoning. Liu Bang has always disliked people who are eloquent and can only reason.He couldn't understand why Xiao He valued Han Xin so much. Endure humiliation, Han Xin debuts Han Xin is also a native of Chu State. His hometown was Huaiyin County at that time, which is located in the current Anhui Province. Due to many swamps, abundant water sources, fertile land, and good productivity, Huaiyin is a fairly good small city. However, Han Xin was born in a declining noble family. Although he was educated, his family was very poor and he could not find a stable job. He originally intended to enter a public institution, but due to the unstable current situation and lack of personnel background, it was not easy to find a vacancy. Later, he wanted to abandon his studies and start a business, but he lacked the capital and connections, so he became a vagabond, often at the home of relatives and friends Eating for free everywhere makes many people dislike seeing him. It is said that he once relied on the Nanchang pavilion chief who went to the countryside to provide three meals for a long time. However, after a few months, the pavilion chief's wife couldn't bear it anymore and deliberately stopped serving meals.Han Xin didn't know, and went according to the time, but found that there was nothing to eat.Han Xin knew what he meant, so he stopped going. But Han Xin didn't know how to live. The pride of intellectuals made him unable to become a beggar, so he just sat under the bridge beside the Huai River and fished to pass the time. Maybe there would be fish to eat, but Han Xin seemed to have arrived. The point of nowhere. At that time, there were many old women working as cloth bleachers under the bridge. One of the old women saw that Han Xin was starving and refused to beg for food. All the same.Han Xin was very grateful, and said to Piaomu: "If I succeed in the future, I will definitely repay today's kindness." After hearing this, the drifting mother said angrily: "You are a man but you can't support yourself. I share the food with you because I can't bear your hunger. How can I expect you to repay me when you succeed?" Han Xin was deeply moved, so he tried his best to find some part-time job opportunities to survive, and waited for better opportunities. Before long, Han Xin's economic ability has been greatly improved. He often wears Confucian clothing and a long sword, looking for work on the street.On the one hand, in order to make a living, he had to endure it forcefully; on the other hand, in order to show his backbone as an intellectual, he was still looking for opportunities to get ahead. Some young butchers on the street hated Han Xin's self-important appearance the most, and they deliberately made trouble for Han Xin. Among them was a tall and burly butcher who stood in front of Han Xin on purpose and shouted loudly: "Although you are tall and good at carrying a sword, you are actually as timid as a mouse." Many companions immediately gathered around and booed.At this time, the butcher was even more proud, and he challenged Han Xin directly, saying: "If you dare to go all out, stab me with a sword right now, if you don't dare to go all out, you have to crawl under my crotch!" Han Xin stared blankly at the butcher at first, then slowly took a breath, squatted down, quickly crawled under the butcher's crotch, and walked forward as if nothing had happened, without looking back. The people next to him sneered, thinking that Han Xin was too timid, only the butcher looked dignified, because he was overwhelmed by Han Xin's indifference.He knew that it was no longer a matter of courage, the truly terrifying person was one who could accept insults without changing his face. After Piaomu's teachings, Han Xin has fully awakened and started to establish his own life goals; and he, who is familiar with the art of war, also has a unique insight into the world.Since he didn't care about these butchers at all, how could he sacrifice his own future for them! ? Make good friends and build popularity Strong desire for success, coupled with natural organizational ability, enabled Han Xin to give full play to the cold vision of a strategist, and he also had confidence in his eloquence. With the resurgence of turmoil, Han Xin's chance finally came.However, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted near Huaiyin, Han Xin did not join in because, like Fan Zeng, he saw early on that it would be difficult for Chen Sheng with a weak organization to succeed. Similarly, Han Xin also fell in love with his uncle and nephew Xiang Liang who revolted in Kuaiji County, so he took the initiative to join Xiang Liang's army as a small officer. Han Xin's swordsmanship is not very good, he is not fighting for strength, but such a specialty is inconspicuous among junior officers.Therefore, when Xiang Liang was defeated, Han Xin still showed no performance, and almost died with him. Han Xin, who managed to escape with his life, was incorporated into Xiang Yu's army. This time he learned to be smart, and has been doing his best to show his ability to be good at strategy. Finally, he was favored by the administrative staff in the army and was appointed as the doctor of Xiang Yu's general headquarters, so he could participate in the military plan. But Han Xin was even more disappointed. Because Xiang Yu, a genius general, doesn't need the general staff at all, as long as he has Fan Zeng by his side, that's enough.And Xiang Yu prefers to use people with courage, he has always looked down on people who can only move their mouths, and even Fan Zeng is often ridiculed by him. Han Xin also proposed many strategic plans to Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu didn't even look at them, and put them all in the trash can for filing. Like this kind of lobbyist who likes to recommend himself, Xiang Yu would rather work hard than hard Listen to them. Han Xin knew that he was useless under Xiang Yu's command, so he decided to find a new boss to start his great career. After entering Xianyang, he felt very ridiculous about Xiang Yu's violent behavior, because this kind of senseless destruction is only harmful to the leaders who govern the country and the world, and it is of no help. Rescue the fool. In contrast, Liu Bang's performance after entering Xianyang made Han Xin very curious. He guessed that this seemingly timid and docile military general might be a respectable and terrifying ambitious man. Born as a commoner, with no connections, he became the No. 1 in the world. 2. This is exactly the idol I dream of. In particular, Liu Bang's performance at the Hongmen Banquet was like his own humiliation. Therefore, he decided to abandon Xiang Yu, who was in the middle of the day, and follow Liu Bang, who had many difficulties and a difficult future. A confident person like Han Xin knows that choosing a boss is much more important than choosing a company. If you want to fight for the world, why kill the strong man Liu Bang was dizzy from the difficulties of the march and the desertion incident, so he naturally had no time to take into account how many talents were hidden in the army. After entering Hanzhong, more generals and soldiers fled. Even Fan Kuai and other veterans felt helpless. They were quite pessimistic about the future of Liu Bang's army. Liu Bang couldn't help but said happily in bitterness: "Perhaps after arriving in Hanzhong, I will become the 'lonely king'." Han Xin is not so pessimistic. He believes that letting people who have no confidence and can't endure hardships leave will have a filtering effect and will be more helpful to the strengthening of the Liu Bang Group. It's just that I am still a small staff officer, and I can't even see Liu Bang's face, so I feel really unhappy. Once, he was so unhappy that he and some of his companions stole wine from the barracks to vent their feelings, and ended up committing a very serious crime. Due to the large number of people sneaking away, if the sneakers bring some food before they run away, then Liu Bang's Han Kingdom will become a "short company, so any stealing will be executed." Han Xin and his companions were all sentenced to death. At this time, according to the position, the lower ones were killed first, and the first thirteen were all dead, leaving only Han Xin, so Han Xin was also tied up and pushed out of the execution ground. The official in charge of supervising the beheading was Liu Bang's best friend in his youth, the coachman Xia Houying, who was already named Teng Gong at that time. Xia Houying was still alert and naive, with a natural expression of sympathy for the fourteen unjust dead ghosts. The keen Han Xin quickly saw Xia Houying's state of mind. In order to seize the last chance, he deliberately looked up to the sky and laughed, and sighed loudly: "Didn't the King of Han want to fight for the world? Why did you kill me, a strong man?" Xia Houying looked up at Han Xin, he was indeed a good-looking man, and he was very interested in what he said, so he stopped the execution immediately, went off to untie Han Xin's rope, and asked him to talk in detail inside. This is a rare opportunity, and Han Xin naturally showed his eloquence in an attempt to persuade Xia Houying. For Liu Bang, Xia Houying was just a loyal partner, not to mention any talent, so Liu Bang never paid much attention to his opinions. Liu Bang has never been very interested in killing people. Since Xia Houying interceded, he immediately pardoned Han Xin.But he didn't believe much in Xia Houying's evaluation of Han Xin, so he only gave Han Xin the official position of Su Duwei. Perhaps it is also fate. Although this position is not important, because food management is its main task, Han Xin was able to get in touch with another more important figure under Liu Bang-Xiao He. Xiao He and Xia Houying are also old acquaintances, and the friendship between the two is pretty good.Xiao He, who was eager to find talents for Liu Bang, was more interested in Xia Houying's recommendation than Liu Bang, so he took the initiative to talk to Han Xin, and he already had a good understanding of Han Xin's talent. According to Xiao He's estimate, even if Han Xin is given any official position that he can arrange, Han Xin will not be able to make full use of it. Really reuse Han Xin. However, Xiao He was always calm, and he didn't want to let Han Xin know of the plan in his mind too early, lest Han Xin be too eager to succeed and act too actively, which would easily arouse the resentment of other generals in Liu Bang's camp. But Han Xin seems unable to be as patient as Xiao He. He confidently confirmed that Xiao He must be deeply impressed by his performance, and must have recommended himself to Liu Bang several times. The reason why there is still no news is that the problem lies with Liu Bang. Perhaps Liu Bang is not at all. You don't need a talent like yourself, and if you do, then you have no hope. After the brigade entered Nanzheng, everyone officially faced the undeveloped backcountry, so the previous enthusiasm disappeared, and many generals and soldiers fled back to Guanzhong. Han Xin thought about what happened to him after he joined the Han army. It seemed that he was worse than when he was in the Chu army. He thought a little angrily: "There are no people here, and there are people here. Therefore, I decided to flee back to the Central Plains and find another opportunity." In fact, Xiao He still cared about Han Xin very much, worried that Han Xin would leave without saying goodbye, so he sent his confidants to keep an eye on Han Xin.So when Han Xinyi disappeared, the news immediately spread to Xiao He. Han Xin ascended to the handsome altar, and the King of Han paid homage to the general At that moment, Xiao He explained to Liu Bang: "Those generals who escaped can only be regarded as ordinary generals. There is no shortage in our camp, but talents like Han Xin, who can be called unparalleled national soldiers, are exactly what we need most and must not be lost. "If the king wants to be king in Hanzhong for a long time, Han Xin may not be needed, but if he wants to come back to Guanzhong and fight for hegemony, it will be difficult to complete this task without Han Xin. It is mainly up to the king to decide whether to keep Han Xin Woolen cloth!" Liu Bang: "Of course I want to go back to the east and compete with Xiang Yu for the world. How can I stay in this place for the rest of my life?" Xiao He: "If you have a plan to go back to the east to fight for hegemony, you must be able to reuse Han Xin, so that Han Xin will stay, otherwise he will definitely flee again!" Liu Bang remembered Xia Houying's recommendation at that time, and compared Xiao He's attitude at this time, so he reluctantly agreed. "Since you all think so, I promise to make him the general!" Xiao He: "It's just that ordinary generals can't keep Han Xin." Liu Bang: "Then worship him as a general!" Xiao He: "We are lucky to be able to do this." Seeing Xiao He's excited appearance, Liu Bang also became happy, and Dang Chi ordered to summon Han Xin and worship him as a general. " Xiao He was angry and funny, thinking that Liu Bang is always so naive, even such an important matter as worshiping the general is casual and sloppy, so he had to go further. "Your Majesty has always been negligent and seldom polite. Now worshiping the General is still like ordering a child. That's why Han Xin ran away. If the King really wants to worship the General, he must establish his authority. You should find a good time On an auspicious day, fast, set up a mandala, and prepare all the etiquette so that everyone can really pay attention to this matter." Liu Bang heard him speak so solemnly, so he had no choice but to agree. The generals were very excited when they heard that Liu Bang decided to worship the general. Anyway, this is something that everyone has hope and everyone is not sure, so there is nothing wrong with taking a gamble. In Liu Bang's camp, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, and Fan Kui were most qualified to become generals. Zhou Bo was stable and reticent, while Fan Kui was the most loyal. Both were brave and reliable, but they obviously had no experience in unifying large armies. Although Guan Ying had the lowest qualifications and more experience in leading the army, his ability to plan and arrange large-scale military activities seemed to be insufficient. Therefore, no one could tell who Liu Bang wanted. When Liu Bang announced Han Xin as a general, everyone was stunned. More than 90% of the officers and soldiers had never heard of this name, and those who knew him could not understand how this small official who was originally in charge of food could jump several levels and become the leader of the people. General of the Legion. From the appearance, although Han Xin was tall and tall, his demeanor was gentle, and he did not have the bravery that should be galloping on the battlefield. Only Xiao He participated in the ceremony with a smile from the beginning to the end. Xia Houying also applauded from time to time. The other generals had mixed feelings, a little disappointed, but also a little relieved, because they finally didn't have to bear the responsibility of confronting Xiang Yu head-on. But the happiest person was Liu Bang, because after months of boredom and inner frustration, he finally had something exciting to do.Everyone said that Han Xin was great and smart, and Liu Bang liked to be with this kind of person the most. Perhaps this person could provide some useful advice and solve his depression and frustration. Han Xin analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, and Liu Bangmao suddenly realized After the general obeisance ceremony, Liu Bang invited Han Xin to sit up according to the etiquette; since it was the first meeting, Liu Bang also seemed much more serious in his attitude. Liu Bang: "The prime minister mentioned General Han's talent to me several times. May I ask if the general has any strategies to teach me?" Han Xin was naturally polite first, and then he said straightforwardly: "Your Majesty now wants to go east to fight for hegemony, isn't the target the King Xiang?" Liu Bang: "Yes!" Han Xin: "Your Majesty, judge for yourself. How do you compare with King Xiang in terms of bravery and benevolence?" After pondering for a long time, Liu Bang solemnly said: "I'm not as good as him!" Han Xin further stated: "I also think that the king is indeed inferior, and some factors are not as we feel on the surface. Please listen to my detailed analysis." Liu Bang naturally agreed. Han Xin: "I have served King Xiang and served as a military adviser, so I know his personality quite well. "King Xiang is extremely brave. When he loses his temper, even a thousand people can't stop him. But he is very strong-willed, and his inability to appoint talented generals is his greatest weakness. This kind of bravery is just the courage of a man. "King Xiang was very respectful and courteous when receiving guests, and he was able to deliberately show his benevolence, and his words and attitude were also quite friendly. Whenever his subordinates were sick, he would often cry and give him special food, but when his subordinates made merit, they should be knighted. When rewarding him, he seemed hesitant and refused to give a personality like him, which is just a woman's benevolence." Hearing these words, Liu Bang nodded frequently. Thinking of the past when he raised any opinions, Xiang Yu would immediately dismiss him as useless, but now that Liu Bang accepts his opinions with such interest, Han Xin couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart, which also made him want to talk more freely. "Not only that, Xiang Yu also made many serious strategic mistakes!" "Really!" "Although King Xiang has dominated the world and surrendered to all the princes, he did not become king in Guanzhong, but was in a hurry to return to Pengcheng, which shows that he lacks a national vision and is not keen enough to grasp the current situation." "He broke the agreement with Emperor Yi, and was unable to objectively grasp the political situation. The criteria for becoming a king are completely based on his own likes and dislikes, which shows that he lacks leadership; this will definitely cause grievances in the hearts of many people, and will only add to the chaotic variables in the future. . "He expelled the original leaders of the countries and replaced them with generals who were closer to him, and moved Emperor Yi to the south of the Yangtze River; his army was in ruins, and the people did not support him, but were afraid of his power. "Although King Xiang's style is called the overlord of the world, it actually loses people's hearts. Therefore, his current strength can easily collapse and turn into a weakness." He had never heard someone analyze Xiang Yu's weaknesses like this, and Liu Bang suddenly became confident again, and he almost completely accepted Han Xin's words. "If the king wants to fight against King Xiang, he must adopt a strategy that is completely opposite to his. If we can fully employ the real brave generals in the world, there is nothing we can't kill; if we divide the cities of the world into meritorious persons, no one will If you don’t submit to us, if you fight for hegemony eastward as a rebel army, no one will want to follow us. In this way, our strength can be quickly gathered.” Liu Bang: "Well, it makes sense!" Han Xin was even more excited, wishing to serve the new master with all his might. "What's more, King Xiang has a serious weakness!" "Oh, how do you say it?" "King Xiang named the three Qin generals who surrendered as King Qin. This is his biggest fatal wound. Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi led the soldiers of the Qin State. They suffered heavy casualties for several years, but they surrendered to the Chu army at a critical moment. They have already lost Qin's father and elders In Xin'an, Xiang Wangkeng killed 200,000 Qin soldiers, and only these three survived. The father of Qin hated the casualties of his sons and soldiers, and believed that these three people betrayed the Qin army, so their resentment against them went deep into the bone marrow. , This kind of hatred can never be relieved, and King Xiang will definitely not get the support of the people of Qin by using these three people as King of Qin." "Then what should we do?" At this time, Han Xin also frankly stated the reason why he had long admired Liu Bang: "When the king first entered Wuguan, Qiu didn't do any harm. He even got rid of Qin's harsh laws and made an agreement with the people of Qin. There is no one in Qin who doesn't want the king to be the king of Guanzhong. This popular feeling can definitely be used well." "What's more, when the princes met in the past, the first to enter the Guanzhong would prevail. The king should be qualified to be the king of Guanzhong. This is well known and fully recognized by the people of Qin. "Now that the king was rejected by King Xiang and entered Hanzhong due to dereliction of duty, the people of Qin regretted and hated that as long as the king declared that he would invade Guanzhong and issue a call, Sanqin would naturally fall, and Guanzhong would be included in it immediately." Naturally, Liu Bang was completely convinced of such a specific suggestion.He said on the spot that he only hated getting to know Han Xin too late, and that he had endured months of pain for nothing, but now a conversation made him suddenly open up.So he completely entrusted Han Xin to plan the eastward plan, and the army was completely assigned to Han Xin to deploy and command. Han Xin, who had never had such power, died for his confidant with a heart completely bound by Liu Bang's generosity. Han Xin was so moved that he almost shed heroic tears on the spot. These talks also opened the prelude to the four-year struggle between Chu and Han. 【Chen Wende Commentary】 Laozi's "Tao De Jing Chapter Twenty-eight": "Know the male, keep the female, be the stream of the world, the stream of the world, never leave, return to the baby, know the white, keep the black, be the world, and the world, Changde Not intuition, return to Wuji. Know its glory, keep its disgrace, it is the valley of the world. For the valley of the world, Changde is sufficient, and it returns to simplicity. Pu San is a tool, and the sage uses it, and he is an official. Therefore, great control cannot cut." Able to be majestic and strong, but would rather be female and weak, so as to become the valley of the world and the place where all streams converge.Those who can be the stream of the world will naturally be able to abide by Changde, just like a baby, seemingly weak, but full of vitality and growth potential. Knowing the happiness of innocence and light, but still willing to bear the pain of darkness, can become the law of the world and can be the law for the people of the world. Those who can reach the position of glory, but are willing to endure humiliation, so that they can tolerate all pain and sin for the world.Those who can be the valley of the world, Changde can be sufficient, and reach the realm of real simplicity. If simplicity is lost, everything will be used, and utilitarianism prevails, but a decent sage can grasp simplicity to establish a system. This system is not trivial or complicated, and is more in line with the ideal of governance by doing nothing. Taking the lead and leading the army into Xianyang, Liu Bang's prestige and advantages have reached the climax since he started his business.Liu Bang, who was born as a commoner and had never had any great enjoyment, could have had a good time, but he was able to withdraw from Xianyang under the persuasion of Zhang Liang, Fan Kuai and others.This style of knowing the male and guarding the female also made him lucky to escape the catastrophe during the Hongmen Sword Banquet. Originally, he contributed the most, but was deliberately excluded, and finally fell into the undeveloped areas of Bashu and Hanzhong; Liu Bang has almost become a joke in the world, and his strong psychological imbalance is predictable. Maybe he once had a "will to kill but not to be humiliated, but under the persuasion of his subordinates, he tolerated it again. Maybe this is the "Dharma" in his life, and he has to persevere in the end." He led the army and entered Hanzhong through the plank road. Although it was an ascetic practice to save his life, it was easy to say, but it would take a lot of courage and perseverance if he really led it to implement it. Facing the dangerous setbacks on the way and the innocent deaths of officers and soldiers, the pressure that a leader bears is enough.Coupled with the constant fleeing and loss of subordinates on the way, for Liu Bang, the greatest pain should be his own distrust and his sense of incompetence.Liu Bang can barely survive the lowest ebb of this life in a natural way, and his thick black learning skills are quite impressive. Perhaps it is his courage to know the male and keep the female, know the white and keep the black, and know the glory and keep the disgrace, that can get the rare genius in the world-Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin's admiration for him!
