Chapter 44 Chapter 2 Trigonometry

Kuai Che said to Han Xin: "Nowadays, regardless of the king of Chu or the king of Han, the key to victory or defeat lies in the king. If the king is Han, Han wins, and if the king is Chu, Chu wins. So no one needs to help them. Let Chu and Han exist together. We To be able to divide the world into three parts and live in a tripod. do it for real Whether the temporarily stalemate Chu-Han battlefield can be untied quickly depends on Han Xin's attitude. Xiang Yu was almost terrified when he heard that the Longqie Legion had collapsed.For the first time in his life he felt a strong sense of fear.

For a while, this young but well-known invincible general didn't know what to do, and a "desperate thought appeared in his mind for the first time!" "Did I really lose?" But Liu Bang didn't seem to understand the importance of Han Xin. He was worried about his unhealed injury and being too busy to rest. During this period, Han Xin had completely pacified Qi State and was starting the work of reorganization and demobilization.He thought he had accomplished a great feat, and it seemed that it was time for him to change his status. Therefore, he sent envoys to make a request to Liu Bang.

"The ingenuity and deceit of the Qi people are changeable and erratic, and there is Chu in the south. If we can't manage it effectively, it will be quite unfavorable to us. Therefore, please temporarily promote me as the false king of Qi, so that I can effectively suppress it. Of." Liu Bang was very happy when he heard that Han Xin's envoy had arrived, and he formally received the envoy in the court ceremony. He expected Han Xin to lead his army south immediately after stabilizing Qi and threaten Xiang Yu from behind to relieve his pressure. But Han Xin only asked for his own status, and did not mention more positive suggestions at all.

Liu Bang, who was full of depression, couldn't help cursing angrily: "This guy should know that I'm trapped here. He doesn't want to help me quickly, but he just wants to be king. He really failed me..." Before the words were finished, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, who were standing beside them, approached each other and stepped on Liu Bang's feet lightly.Liu Bang was also alert, and immediately shut up and looked back at the two confidant counselors. Zhang Liang approached Liu Bang's ear and said softly: "We are currently trapped here, and we have no power to prevent Han Xin from becoming the king of Qi. Why don't you agree to his request to appease him temporarily, otherwise he may have the idea of ​​rebellion!"

Chen Ping also suggested: "Now that Han Xin has a high reputation and great influence, it's time to win him over! Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted." Liu Bang woke up immediately, but he had already expressed his disapproval just now. If he did not turn skillfully at this time, it would let Han Xin know that he had no choice but to agree. Since what he said could not be changed, Liu Bang had an idea, and then his tone slowed down. "This guy is really real. Since a man can calm the princes, he should be the real king. Why do you want to be a fake king?"

The so-called false king means temporary agency. Xiang Yu sent envoys to persuade Han Xin Long Qie's defeat forced Xiang Yu to face up to the problem. He has always looked down on Han Xin, and never thought that his most proud "right hand was cut off by Han Xin." If Han Xin led the Qi army to go south, Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's base camp, would be directly threatened. This is not comparable to Peng Yue's guerrillas in Liangdi. Peng Yue is only suffering from scabies, but Han Xin is suffering from a serious problem! Xiang Yu really wanted to defeat Liu Bang quickly, and then lead his army back to fight Han Xin to the death. This is the heroic quality of the Overlord of Western Chu.

It's a pity that Liu Bang kept braking with silence and couldn't hold on, making Xiang Yu really a hero without a place to use his skills.What's more, Liu Bang tightly controlled Ao Cang's grain and fodder, and his logistical supplies were inexhaustible. On the contrary, Xiang Yu's grain was not much left. Xiang Yu knew that his only chance at this time was to fight Liu Bang with all his strength, and he must not be distracted from Han Xin's affairs, so he had to use soothing methods to relieve Han Xin's stupidity behind his back. But who can persuade Han Xin? Wu She, a native of Xutai, volunteered to go.

Since Xu Tai was near Han Xin's hometown, Wu She thought he knew Han Xin quite well.In addition, when he was young, he had studied vertical and horizontal skills hard, and he had a lot of experience in lobbying, so he joined Xiang Liang's tent, hoping to make a name for himself with his penetrating tongue. But since Xiang Yu has been in charge of the family, it has been "I am the only one in the world, and I don't need to coordinate with others at all, which makes Wu She's "vertical and horizontal skills" almost rust." Now that the opportunity came, Wu She was naturally eager to display his talents.

"No one knows Han Xin better than me, I will definitely persuade him to join the king!" But Xiang Yu was still unwilling to make too many concessions, he strongly instructed Wu She: "You must not hurt the prestige of Chu State, let Han Xin convince us!" Rational appeal is not as good as emotional recognition Wu She wanted to persuade Han Xin with the benefit of rationality. He begged to see Han Xin in the name of a fellow villager, and Han Xin also received Wu She frankly. Although Han Xin did not have a close relationship with Wu She, a fellow countryman who was once a colleague, it was not completely unknown. Moreover, he was the official envoy of King Xiang Yu of Chu, so he was naturally treated with courtesy.

Wu She hoped to persuade Han Xin with reason, so as to show the orthodox position of the Chu army.His lobbying argument goes something like this: 1. Liu Bang is responsible for the struggle between Chu and Han Due to the tyranny of the Qin State, the princes united and perished. Although Xiang Yu made the most contributions and was the most powerful, he did not regard the world as his own. . However, Liu Bang raised his troops to occupy the land of Sanqin, and even led his troops out of the pass to attack the king of Chu, wanting to swallow up the whole world for his own personal gain.Such an insatiable person is really not worthy of Han Xin's service, and will be cast aside by the people of the world.

2. Liu Bang is ungrateful and treacherous, so he should not have deep friendship with him. During the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang was defeated. His life was already in Xiang Yu's hands. Later, because Xiang Yu felt sorry for his old friendship, he let him go, and Liu Bang was able to escape. Unexpectedly, Liu Bang still broke his contract again and kept attacking Xiang Yu. This kind of leader is absolutely unacceptable. Reliable. 3. Liu Bang just used Han Xin Although Han Xin thought that he had a deep friendship with Liu Bang and tried his best to fight for Liu Bang, he would still be betrayed one day. The reason why Liu Bang still reuses Han Xin is not because he respects his talent, but because Han Xin still has value in dealing with Xiang Yu. 4. Chu and Han are fighting, and Han Xin's position will determine the outcome After conquering Qi State, Han Xin's strength is no less than that of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. If he votes for Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu wins, and if he votes for Liu Bang, Liu Bang wins. Therefore, Han Xin should not make a decision based on his own future interests. But with Liu Bang's selfish personality, in case Xiang Yu loses, Han Xin will be his next target. 5. It is recommended that Han Xin abandon Liu Bang, obtain an independent status, and divide the world into three parts Since Han Xin has this strength, he should break away from Liu Bang's position as a general, and even join Xiang Yu to negotiate with Liu Bang, and divide the world into three parts and become the princes and kings together. In the end, Wu She even said that now is the best time. If you lose this opportunity, you will only be Liu Bang's subordinate for the rest of your life. This is by no means a wise man's decision! Although Wu She's conclusion is quite reasonable, Xiang Yu's weakness and crisis are clearly seen from his tone. Even though he deliberately concealed it, his inner guilt is still fully exposed. Although Han Xin is a military genius, but because of his humble background, he survived for a long time in his early years, so he never had the idea of ​​being a "boss." Appreciation and respect will suffice.” Han Xin was truly impressed by Liu Bang's extraordinary promotion. Therefore, he said frankly to Wu She: "At that time, my minister, Shi Yu, was only a doctor, and my job was only a guard with a halberd. My words were not taken seriously, and my suggestions were never adopted. As a last resort, I turned my back on the King of Chu and defected to the King of Han. "The king of Han gave me the title of general, gave me tens of thousands of troops, gave me his clothes, and shared his meals with me. He also listened to me and gave me the opportunity to show my strength. Talent and learning, can also get today's status, what kind of kindness is this! "It is a very ominous act to betray someone who is close to you. I will not change the kindness towards the King of Han until I die. Please thank King Xiang for my kindness!" Rebels in the Han Xin camp Although Wu She's lobbying failed, it aroused the core members of Han Xin's camp to have second thoughts about Liu Bang. The leader of this proposition is Kuai Che, Han Xin's chief staff officer. Kuai Che, sometimes called Kuai Tong in historical materials, came from a place called Kuai Ding in the suburbs of Luoyang. Luoyang is also the hometown of Su Qin, a master of vertical and horizontal. Kuai Che was born a fan of vertical and horizontal, thinking that he could use his wisdom to become famous all over the world. At that time, it was Kuai Che who advised Han Xin to ignore Li Shiqi's safety and directly cross the river to attack Qi. Kuai Che is very optimistic about Han Xin. He believes that Han Xin is the only one in the world who can face Xiang Yu head-on. What he can't agree with most is that Han Xin is not interested in self-employment. As a war genius, he doesn't want to fight for the world. It also made Kuai Che very sad. "It's really puzzling that the king of Han, who didn't keep his word, would be the general's idol." After hearing Wu She's discussion, which vaguely revealed Xiang Yu's weakness, Kuai Che was sure that Han Xin was already the strongest in the world. "The power of the world (the key to winning or losing) lies in Han Xin!" When Kuai Che was young, he traveled all over the world, looking for opportunities, so he learned physiognomy. In an era when science was not yet developed, this kind of "phrenology" based on statistics was surprisingly accurate in its judgments and guesses. It's easy to get mesmerized. Many intellectuals have their own way of "matching people." Wu She's rhetoric also shocked Han Xin, and Kuai Che knew that Han Xin must have many contradictions and conflicts in his heart. "This is the best moment to talk to him!" Kuai Che saw that Han Xin was lost in thought on the throne, and he walked over gently. Han Xin also looked up at Kuai Che with a questioning expression on his face. Kuai Che said to Han Xin with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, there is something I must report!" "Oh, what's the matter?" "I have studied physiognomy, and your body has changed a lot recently, it's incredible." "Oh, really?" "If you look at the face of the king, it's just a feudal prince, but the king's back is very precious." "What does it mean?" "The king's back shows that there are three points in the world, and the king must keep one of them, and he will become the master of the world!" "You mean I should obey Wu She's words?" "That's true! The turmoil in the world was originally to overthrow the tyranny of the Qin State and restore the original six kingdoms. The overlord of Chu used Pengcheng as his base and led the army to conquer the northern princes. He was victorious in every battle and shocked the world, but now he was trapped between Beijing and Suo, and was blocked by the Han army outside Guangwu Mountain. It has been more than three years. "The king of Han also commanded 100,000 people, sticking to the lands of Gong and Luo. Relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers, he fought several days but could not gain any land of size, and there was no progress. It seems that the situation is really stronger than the people, only relying on resourcefulness Bravery is still not as good as man's calculation, the two sides are completely trapped!" "Do you think I should help King Xiang?" "That's not true! According to my judgment, to resolve this stalemate and quell the disaster of war, we need real heroes and sages. "Nowadays, regardless of the king of Chu or the king of Han, the key to their victory or defeat is the king. If the king is Han, Han wins, and if the king is Chu, Chu wins. Therefore, according to the views of the ministers, no one needs to help them, so that both the king of Chu and the king of Han will survive. Only in this way can we divide the world into three parts and live as a tripod, so that no one can gain an advantage, and we can maintain peace in the world. "With the sages and sages of the king, who possess powerful force, and dominate the lands of Qi, Zhao, and Yan, it is right to send troops to supervise the Chu and Han armies, and prevent them from continuing to fight. This is the wish of all the people in the world. This is the king's move. It is also for the wishes of the people, and I believe that the people of the world will respond to the news, and who dare not follow the instructions of the king?. "In this way, the king can entrust the princes and establish his own group; after the group is formed, the people of the world will obey the king's command, making Qi the status of the co-lord of the world. "Qi State owns the land of Jiaosi, and its strength is very strong. As long as the king still promotes government affairs with the wishes of all the people in the world, I believe that the princes of the whole country will rush to submit to the king, and King Xiang and King Han will gradually fall into isolation. "This is what the old proverb says: 'If you don't take what God wants to give you, it will be a big mistake. If you don't do it when the time comes, you will suffer disaster.' I hope the king can think carefully and seize this opportunity, Otherwise, you may still be hurt." Although Han Xin was quite touched by Kuai Che's words, he couldn't bear to betray Liu Bang's unconventional promotion, so he said: Those who are brave enough to shake the Lord are in danger, and those who make great achievements in the world will not be rewarded But Kuai Che still did not give up. He thought that if he could not convince Han Xin at this moment, his lifelong dream would be in vain. So he continued to analyze: "Your Majesty, you think that you have a deep friendship with the King of Han and that you can jointly build a career for the ages, but I think it is a wrong idea. "In the past, when Chang Shan Wang (Zhang Er) and Cheng An Jun (Chen Yu) were common people, they swore to be life and death friends, and their friendship must have been deep; However, the two turned against each other. "Later, King Changshan betrayed King Xiang and took the head of Xiang Ying, the general of Chu, as a gift to the King of Han. The King of Han also borrowed troops to go east, defeated Cheng Anjun's army in the south of the low water, and killed Cheng Anjun on the spot. The mutual enemies, Chang Shanwang and Cheng Anjun's early relationship became a joke in the world. The relationship between these two people is not deep, but in the end they hurt each other until death. Why? That is because once they encounter major interests People's hearts tend to become unpredictable. "Nowadays, the relationship between the King and the King of Han is far less than that between King Changshan and Lord Cheng An, and the major interests and interests facing him are much more serious than the incidents of Zhang Fake and Chen Zezhi. Therefore, it is a mistake for you to think that the King thinks that the King of Han will not frame you. what. "Wen Zhong, a doctor of the Yue State, and Fan Li, a military advisor, saved the State of Yue from peril, and enabled Yue King Goujian to dominate the world. However, after becoming famous, Fan Li left, Wen Zhong died, and the wild beasts were exhausted, and the hunting dogs must be cooked. This reality It is very cruel. Besides, the friendship between the king and the king of Han is not as good as that of Changshan King and Cheng Anjun. In terms of loyalty, it is not as good as Wenzhong, and Fan Li is like Goujian. The fate of these people is your role model, king, please think carefully. Bar! "Besides, I have also heard that those who bravely shake the Lord will be in danger, and those who conquer the world will not be rewarded. Let me also analyze your merits and dangers, the king! You once conquered the West River and captured Wei Wangbao and Xiang Wang's confidant Xia said that they led the army to kill Cheng Anjun at Jingxingkou, recruited Zhao State, threatened Yan State, pacified Qi State, and wiped out the 200,000 elite troops of Chu State in Longqie. You are truly unparalleled in the world, and your strategy is also the best in the world! Now the king, you have the power to shake the lord, and no rewards are enough to confer your credit; if you submit to the Chu army with such an attitude, King Xiang will not believe you and submit to you The Han army is full of doubts in the heart of the King of Han. You can't be attached to any place now, king. "Although I consider myself to be a minister of the people and ministers in my heart, but I have the prestige of being the master of the world. I am really worried about your safety, the king!" Although Han Xin could understand Kuai Che's sincerity, he had never thought about independence and couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to say to Kuai Che: "Sir, needless to say, I will think about it carefully!" A few days later, Kuai Che went to see Han Xin again. Seeing that Han Xin was still hesitant and a little discouraged, he gave another final warning: "Only by being able to accept other people's opinions can we absorb the benefits of being a bystander. Only those who can perceive the symptoms of things and are willing to plan carefully can grasp the secrets of things. Those who understand are good at making decisions, and if they hesitate, they will suffer disasters and lose the opportunity to control the world. Although many wise people can understand, they are slow to do so. This is the source of disaster for everything. "It is quite difficult to establish credit, and the risk of failure is very high. The opportunity is fleeting, rare and easy to lose. There will never be another opportunity like this in the future!" After a few days of thinking, Han Xin was still hesitant. He recalled that the reason why he was able to achieve what he is today is entirely due to Liu Bang's extraordinary promotion, and there is really no reason to betray him; besides, he has made great contributions, and he should be named King of Qi. I believe Liu Bang He won't take away his knighthood either. Therefore, Han Xin still rejected Kuai Che's proposal. "Sooner or later you will suffer!" Kuai Che thought that Han Xin's attitude would never end well, and he would suffer disaster after advising Han Xin in this way, so he pretended to be crazy and fled. Gain an advantage, take the initiative to seek peace The victory and defeat of the two armies of Chu and Han, which were facing each other in Guangwu, have gradually become clear. "Historical Records Xiang Yu Benji" records: "At that time, the Han soldiers had a lot of food, and the Xiang engineers stopped eating." Liu Bang became more and more confident in defeating Xiang Yu. He named Yingbu the king of Huainan, showing his intention to turn the defense into an offense and go straight to Xiang Yu's back door. In order to show that the world is coming together, Liu Bang has a series of actions. He asked the Yan people to send cavalry troops to join the Han camp, officially stating to the world that Liu Bang had completely unified Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Zhao, Wei, Dai, Qi, and Yan, and was determined to attack Huainan. Xiang Yu has only Chu land left, and he is bound to be alone. In order to show his kindness to the people of the world, Liu Bang also accepted the suggestion of his staff and ordered the officials to make clothes, quilts and coffins for all the soldiers who died in the battle in the past few years, and hand them over to their families as sacrifices. This greatly boosted the morale of the Han army, and everyone Thanks to the benevolent government of the King of Han, all of them are loyal to each other wholeheartedly. So record: "Four directions return to one's heart!" Liu Bang has gained an absolute advantage. Han Xin also gathered troops in Qi State, preparing to attack Pengcheng, the base camp of Chu State. Seeing that Xiang Yu's army will be attacked by the enemy, the crisis is everywhere. However, at this juncture, Liu Bang asked Xiang Yu for peace talks. Although Liu Bang followed the advice of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping afterwards and broke the contract to pursue the retreating Chu army, it is difficult to verify whether the peace talks were really Liu Bang's conspiracy in advance, or the breach of the contract was just a temporary motion. However, Liu Bang's superficial reason for seeking peace was to care about the safety of his father Liu Gong and his wife Lu Shi. But with Xiang Yu's strong personality, it is not easy for him to accept the peace talks. Two lobbyists, different performances Lu Jia was a native of Chu and was famous for his eloquence. Different from the short stature of ordinary Chu people, Lu Jia is tall and majestic, quite dignified, coupled with his good knowledge and eloquence, so he often represents Liu Bang as a diplomatic envoy to various vassal states. However, Lu Jia was in name Liu Bang's guest secretary rather than a subordinate, and his position was relatively detached. He confidently accepted Liu Bangzhi's appointment, and went to Chuying to rescue Liu Gong and Lu Shi with his three-inch tongue. Although Xiang Yu met him because he thought about the friendship of the Chu people, his expression on his face was quite indifferent. Lu Jiake was not discouraged at all. Eloquently eloquent. He agrees with Xiang Yu's previous proposition that the people of the world have suffered from wars for a long time, and it is time to end the disputes.In fact, the conflict between Chu and Han did not necessarily have to be won or lost. Liu Bang was originally from Chu, and the two had fought side by side in the early years. Brothers in the same wall do not need to kill each other, so peace talks with each other are possible. At present, although the two are evenly divided, the Chu army is an expeditionary force, and food supplies are not easy. It may not be beneficial to persevere. Liu Bang, taking into account the safety of his father and wife, is also willing to negotiate. This is beneficial to both parties, and it is also beneficial to the people of the world. It's time for peace. Lu Jia's argument is sincere and justified. All the important ministers of Chu State agreed with Lu Jia's opinion, but Xiang Yu disagreed. Rationally, Xiang Yu is also very aware of his crisis, but subconsciously, he believes that he should never lose to Liu Bang. He firmly believes that as long as a decisive battle is fought, Liu Bang can be completely defeated. He glared at Lu Jia and said in a deep voice: "Do you think the King of Han is qualified to sit on an equal footing with me and rule the world together?" Lu Jia really wanted to say "yes", but he saw Xiang Yu's emotional dissatisfaction, so he didn't dare to express it clearly, and only wanted to defend Liu Bang in embarrassment: "Hanwang is really sincere!" "You don't need to talk about it!" Xiang Yu suppressed his anger and said with grace: "It is not difficult to end the war! Go back and tell the king of Han that if he really cares about the common people in the world, he will fight me to the death and make the world unified. !" Lu Jia had no choice but to return to Liu Bang. "Although the mission has not been fulfilled, I have never humiliated the mission, and I have won enough face for the King of Han!" Although Liu Bang scolded in his heart: "boring, hypocritical Confucianism", he still gave some comfort on the surface. Lu Jia failed, but Liu Bang still did not give up.He sent another guest Hou Gong to negotiate with Xiang Yu again. Hou Gong's parentage is unknown, he is a tall, thin man, he is old, and he is usually slovenly, so he doesn't look decent at all. Liu Bang has always liked this kind of person the most, especially because he knows that Hou Gong is extremely intelligent and is a good helper in times of crisis. Like Lu Jia, Hou Gong was only Liu Bang's guest rather than his subordinate. Before departure, Hou Gong suggested to Liu Bang that the two sides of Chu and Han might as well use the gap as the boundary. Honggou is a canal that flows through the vicinity of Xingyang, and the water from the Yellow River is diverted from the east of Xingyang to the Huaihe River. Hou Gong believes that when negotiating with Xiang Yu, the strategy must be clear and specific, and it will be successful the first time, otherwise there will be trouble in the future. Playing tricks to make Xiang Yu curious After Hou Gong arrived at Chuying, he only said: "I'm going to be here for a while!" This request means that there is no rush to negotiate or rush the schedule, and only talk when Xiang Yu wants to talk, and it is never forced. Xiang Yu was really surprised by Hou Gong's attitude, so he sent someone to bring wine and food, and inquired about Hou Gong's purpose. However, Hou Gong never mentioned official business to the reception staff. Instead, he talked about the way of longevity and longevity, and taught some secrets of Taoist Daoyin. Xiang Yu was dumbfounded at this moment. In terms of the situation at the time, Xiang Yu was more eager to negotiate peace than Liu Bang. Finally unable to hold back his curiosity, Xiang Yu took the initiative to summon Hou Gong. "The king of Han wants you to come, what message does he have?" "What the King of Han said is nothing particularly important!" "Are you a Taoist believer?" When it comes to self-cultivation and Taoism, Hou Gong is very interested, and he will not be tired for three days and three nights. "The King of Han is not my master, I, Duke Hou, is the spokesperson of the world; the opinion of the King of Han is not important, what matters is whether you two people in the world can agree!" Xiang Yu was very interested in Hou Gong's words. "If eternal peace is maintained for the sake of all beings in the world, I can negotiate with the King of Han!" Hou Gong immediately put on the appearance of a notary in the world, advocating the gap as the boundary; he also said that the two armies are at a stalemate here, so it should be used as a peace buffer line, which is only fair. Xiang Yu nodded frequently, obviously he fully agreed with Hou Gong's suggestion. Xiang Yu is an aristocrat of the Chu State, and he is more face-saving and stylish. Hou Gong is deeply aware of this reason, so he never mentions Liu Bang. He even stated publicly: "I am not a subordinate of the King of Han, so I don't have to be loyal to him." Perhaps it was because of this sentence that Xiang Yu felt very good in his heart, so he agreed to accept the terms of the peace talks. The two sides quickly agreed on the date and method of withdrawal. Hou Gong also immediately went back to report to Liu Bang. In September, Xiang Yu released Liu Gong and Lu Shi to return to the Han camp, and the soldiers in the camp shouted long live. Zhang Liang and Chen Ping instigate a sneak attack Xiang Yu first discharged his troops and returned to the country according to the agreement. Liu Bang naturally decided to retreat into Guanzhong temporarily. The Guangwu battlefield, which has been stalemate for more than a year, is about to become the "eye of the typhoon." But at the same time that Liu Bang ordered the withdrawal of troops, the chief counselors Zhang Liang and Chen Ping joined hands to meet Liu Bang in secret. "The two gentlemen came at the same time, and they must have some advice!" "From the king's point of view, are we currently strong or weak?" Zhang Liang first asked the question. Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If the stalemate continues, it will be beneficial to us, but if there is a battle, I am not sure that I can defeat King Xiang!" Chen Ping went on to say: "It is true that it is very difficult for us to truly defeat Xiang Yu, only now is the only chance!" Liu Bang: "How do you say it?" Chen Ping: "At present, we already have most of the world, and the princes are all on our side. The Chu army has been fighting for a long time and the soldiers are exhausted. This is the time when the sky will destroy them. We should take this opportunity to attack them, otherwise we will be defeated." It has become the so-called 'raising a tiger and leaving troubles'!" "But we've reached an agreement!" "Those who create a big business don't care about small things. As long as King Xiang is defeated, we will no longer need to negotiate and agree!" Zhang Liang also expressed his support. Liu Bang came to his senses and ordered his army to cross the chasm, preparing to attack Xiang Yu's retreating main force. 【Chen Wende Commentary】 Laozi's "Tao De Jing Chapter Fifty-sixth": "Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know how to block it, close the door; dampen the sharpness, resolve the confusion; harmonize the light, and the dust; If you can't get it, you will be close; if you can't get it, you will be close; if you can't get it, you will be estranged; if you can't get it, you will benefit; if you can't get it, you will harm it; if you can't get it, you will be expensive; A true wise man knows that the subtlety of the Tao cannot be explained or explained by words, so he will only act prudently and diligently, and he is unwilling to express more words. Everything follows nature, blocks thoughts, closes passions, restrains sharpness, eliminates disturbances before they happen, does not express one's own uniqueness, harmonizes when encountering light, and becomes the same when encountering dust. The so-called xuantong means that it is superficially the same as all things without any trace, so that it can be completely in line with the Dao. He is detached, indifferent and desireless, unable to use any temptation to get close to him, so it is impossible to alienate or leave him. Only ask nature, follow the trend, do not work hard deliberately, the benefits are not enough to lure him, the harm is not enough to be feared, the rich and the honor can not attract him, the poor and the humble do not care, this kind of closeness and closeness can not be attracted by the high and the low. The most honorable person in the world. Most of Kuai Che's standpoints in lobbying Han Xin are quite reasonable, but Kuai Che overemphasizes interests. №Although it is for Han Xin on the surface, in fact Kuai Che himself has ambitions. He wants to use Han Xin to improve his status, and use Han Xin's strength to let himself have an important role in the world. " Therefore, he ignored Han Xin's "feeling", turned a blind eye to the original friendship between Han Xin and Liu Bangwen, and despised him. What can be persuaded by the "safety and safety". The argument is quite correct, the enthusiasm is sincere enough, and the lobbying skills are also full of skills, but Kuai Che tried to use rational and perfect logic to overcome Han Xin's "natural feelings as a human being, and the final failure is inevitable." The possible interaction and power struggle between Han Xin and Liu Bang could have developed naturally. Perhaps this would be slightly beneficial to Han Xin. The natural relationship between Han Xin and Liu Bang will also produce a lot of variables. In the future, Han Xin's tragic acceptance seems to be the result of Kuai Che's misfortune. However, Kuai Che's lobbying actually had a considerable impact on Han Xin's later mentality. Lu Jia and Hou Hui also had completely different results in terms of lobbying skills because of their different attitudes. Lu Jia also lobbied from a rational standpoint of interests, and his arguments were quite objective and practical, and they were also highly valued by the important ministers of Chu State. Therefore, from the standpoint of a lobbyist, Lu Jia's performance was indeed very good, but the only thing he could not agree with was the parties involved. Xiang Yu. Lu Jia also ignored Xiang Yu's emotional problems. From an advantage to a disadvantage, Xiang Yu's heart is naturally quite unbalanced, but he is unwilling to admit defeat no matter what, so Lu Jia's grandiose and formal reasons are no different from a kind of harm to Xiang Yu's psychology. On the contrary, Hou Gong knew how to take advantage of Xiang Yu's emotional weakness. Not only did he not have long-winded arguments, but he never spoke for Liu Bang from the beginning to the end, and often deliberately damaged Liu Bang with his words. It's up to him. Following the nature of human nature and not getting lost in self-deduction is exactly where Hou Hui is most successful. It is said that in order to thank Duke Hou for his contributions, Liu Bang named Duke Hou the Duke of Pingguo, but Duke Hou hid himself and refused to accept the title of Jin, and he no longer met Liu Bang. In recognition of Hou Gong's contribution, Liu Bang still bestowed a Fu Gao on it and inscribed it on the date: "This debater in the world lives in a country, so he is called Ping Guojun." But this Lord Ping never set foot in this mansion.
