Chapter 34 7. Talk about Liu Bang's urine escape

Liu Bang's urine escape has some reasonable explanations from himself and a group of his followers, such as his brother-in-law Fan Kuai, who expressed great understanding for this behavior. After Liu Bang came out of the banquet, he didn't go straight to the toilet, or came out after a symbolic turn around, or called Fan Kui and Zhang Liang into the toilet and muttered in a low voice.Anyway, he didn't really want to pee, pee was just a cover. What Liu Bang said to Fan Kui is very interesting: "If you come out today, you haven't said goodbye. What can I do?" I just ran away without saying goodbye, is it appropriate?You said that you were ready to piss off, but why did you ask this troublemaker?Afraid of being impolite, you go back and drink.

Fan Kuai, a rough man who used to "slaughter dogs as his business", actually said a very philosophical and wise saying that only sages like Confucius and Zhuangzi could say: "Great deeds do not care about meticulousness, and great gifts do not hesitate to make small concessions. Today One is a knife and one is a fish, and I am a fish and meat, so what are you going to do?" When doing great things, there is no need to worry about small details, and when performing great gifts, there is no need to be restrained and humble.We are now the fish and meat on other people's chopping boards, so there is no need to say goodbye.Liu Bang felt at ease and asked Zhang Liang to stay and wipe his ass.

Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang: Did you bring any presents before you came?Liu Bang said: I brought a pair of white biscuits for Xiang Yu and a pair of jade buckets for Fan Zeng, but Fan Zeng was angry and didn't dare to offer them. You can give them for me.So "put on a cart and ride, and ride alone", untied the horse driving the cart (the purpose of this is to be faster than a horse-drawn cart), rode by himself, and took a shortcut back to Bashang.It was not only Liu Bang who went back, but also Fan Kui, Xia Houying, Jin Qiang, and Ji Xin, who "walked with swords and shields" and followed at a trot, "from the foot of Mount Li to the road between Zhiyang and Zhiyang", the road was rough.

This matter is also very interesting. The interesting thing is not how Liu Bang escaped. Escaping must be like escaping. No matter how embarrassing he is, he cannot be said to be ashamed.It's the time when Liu Bangjin is interested in presenting gifts. Since you brought a gift, you must want to express your heart, so why didn't you present it when you saw Xiang Yu in the first place?At that time, Xiang Yu was very polite, and if the gift was presented again, the effect would definitely be better.Even if you don’t care about it when you first meet, or it’s inconvenient (it’s shameful to give a gift in front of so many people), you can still offer it before the banquet starts and after the guests and hosts are seated.You don't offer it sooner or later, and you don't offer it until you want to slip away. It's very interesting.There are two possibilities: one is that Liu Bang has been afraid.Although it seemed that Xiang Yu cleared up the misunderstanding on the surface, Liu Bang was still beating drums in his heart, and his calf must have been wobbling all the time, and he forgot to bring a gift;As for why he only remembered it when he wanted to slip, this is easy to understand, because when he wanted to slip, he must be thinking about slipping in his mind, including how to slip, what reason to slip, how to explain after slipping, and how to slip away. Don't let Xiang Yu blame him, and so on.

Some people praised Liu Bang's performance greatly, saying that he was still so clear-headed at such a dangerous time, and could calmly ask Fan Kui if I slipped away like this, and even arranged for Zhang Liangjin to present gifts. Everything seemed so meticulous and orderly.This is to make Liu Bang a myth, and his urination itself is not a very particular thing.It is true that Liu Bang won the world later, but winning the world is a comprehensive system engineering. In addition to his own intelligence and hard work, there are also factors of opportunity and fate, which is very complicated.During this process, Liu Bang made mistakes, mistakes, timidity, wavering, melancholy, and despair, but not every step was so calm and composed.

Liu Bang urinated, in fact, he was afraid.There is no shame in being afraid, and who hasn't been afraid?This shows that Liu Bang is a man of flesh and blood.What's more, Liu Bang is in someone else's military camp, facing Xiang Yu, who once made the ace troops of the Qin Dynasty invincible, so it is reasonable to be afraid.Moreover, according to Liu Bang's personality, he has been active since he was a child, and he can do whatever he wants. Such a person can't be righteous and fearless in the face of danger. Liu Bang is not clear-headed either. When people are in danger and fear, they will show some panic, but the brain can spin at a high speed, which is many times faster than usual, and there will be extraordinarily many things that come to mind.Those were all subconscious reactions, which did not prove how clear-headed he was.In my opinion, Liu Bang's only one sentence is very clear, which is to Zhang Liang: "Send me to the army, and the public will enter." You guessed that I ran back to our army's camp. It is safe, and you go in to offer gifts. .
