Chapter 41 10, big brother heavy taste

If you want to find out whether Wang Ling bought Liu Bang's account, you have to start with a man named Zhang Cang. Zhang Cang is from Yangwu. He likes books, rhythms and calendars very much.As early as the time of Qin Shihuang, he once served as the censor, in charge of various documents and files in the palace.Later, he didn't know what crime he had committed, and was afraid of being held accountable, so he secretly ran home.Soon after Liu Bang started an uprising, attacked the city, and passed through Yangwu, so Zhang Cang took the initiative to find a job, and as a guest, he followed Liu Bang from then on.

In the battle of Nanyang, Huanjuan surrendered, and Zhang Cang was the one who witnessed it first-hand.But Zhang Cang felt a bit wrong. He seemed to have a habit of committing crimes. He committed crimes on Qin Shihuang's side, and committed crimes again on Liu Bang's side. Zhang Cang was able to escape from Qin Shihuang's side, but he couldn't escape from Liu Bang's side. He was sentenced to beheaded. The beheading procedure was also very simple. The victim had to take off his clothes first—at that time, clothes were worth more than human lives.After taking off his clothes, he lay naked on the torture device, waiting to be tortured.At that time, Zhang Cang looked like this, lying on the torture tool with his bare buttocks, waiting in fear for the steel knife to fall, when a person strolled by.

royal tomb. Seeing that he was going to kill someone, Wang Ling became emotional, and hurriedly moved forward to take a closer look.But he found that there was a large group of white flowers lying on the instrument of torture.It turned out that Zhang Cang was obese and fair-skinned. When he lay down on his buttocks, his whole body was like a huge gourd seed—"When he grows up, he is as fat and white as a gourd."At that time, Wang Ling was shocked when he saw it, so he went to Liu Bang to intercede for Zhang Cang. The reason was that Zhang Cang was fatter, and fat is rare, so it is recommended not to kill him.

It was a dispensable thing for the old elder brother to come to intercede, so Liu Bang sold Wang Ling's favor.So Zhang Cang escaped. This incident is recorded in "Historical Records: The Thirty-sixth Biography of Prime Minister Zhang": Prime Minister Zhang Cang is also from Yangwu.Good book law calendar.In Qin Dynasty, he was the censor, and the book was written under the main column.Guilty, return to death.When Peigong passed Yangwu slightly, Cang Yike attacked Nanyang.Cang Si Fa should be beheaded, stripped of his clothes and body, grown up, fat and white like a gourd, when the king's tomb saw it and blamed him for his beauty, he said, "Pei Gong, forgive me and don't beheaded."Then he entered Wuguan from the west and arrived at Xianyang.

A life was saved by Wang Ling's intercession, but Zhang Cang's luck suddenly changed, and he trembled not long after, and he became the prime minister.After becoming prime minister, Zhang Cang thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he was grateful to Wang Ling. If Wang Ling hadn't interceded and saved his old life, he would have died in Nanyang back then. How could he have had the chance to enjoy the happy life of prime minister? From then on, Zhang Cang took Wang Ling's father as his father and Wang Ling's mother as his mother.At that time, the government of the Han Dynasty was to go to work for five days and take one day off.On rest days, Zhang Cang would come to Wang Ling's mansion and serve Wang Ling's mother respectfully for dinner. Zhang Cang dared not go home until the old lady finished eating.

Mausoleum of King Zhang Cangde.The king's tomb is also the Marquis of Anguo.As for Canggui, Chang's father is in the royal tomb.After Ling's death, Cang became the prime minister, took a bath, and often offered food to Mrs. Ling first, and then dared to go home. ("Historical Records The Thirty-sixth Biography of Prime Minister Zhang") The sudden mention of Zhang Cang was just to prove that when Liu Bang was in Nanyang County, he did join forces with his elder brother Wang Ling in his early years.Moreover, Wang Ling at that time interceded for Zhang Cang who was about to be executed and saved Zhang Cang's life. This matter cannot be faked.

Now that the little brother Liu Bang has successfully joined forces with his eldest brother Wang Ling, why does the same "Historical Records" say that Wang Ling refuses to join in "Chen Chengxiang's Family"? The answer lies in the matter of Zhang Cang.Please pay attention to Wang Ling's reason for pleading for Zhang Cang - "see and blame his beauty".That is to say, Wang Ling was moved by Zhang Cang's snow-white pork belly, so he went to Liu Bang to intercede. Isn't it inexplicable that a white pork belly can also be a reason to intercede? Judging from the content of the book "Historical Records", it is clear that Sima Qian, the historian, was also worried about this weird reason. He was worried that his eldest brother Wang Ling would have a bad taste and his sexual orientation was biased. Cang's private life was seriously investigated, and the results of the investigation are as follows:

At the beginning, Zhang Cang's father was less than five feet long, and Sheng Cang, who was more than eight feet long, became a marquis and prime minister.The sky grows up again.And Sun Lei, who is more than six feet long, has lost his way of sitting.After Cangzhi's immunity, he is old, has no teeth in his mouth, eats milk, and the woman is a wet nurse.There are hundreds of wives and concubines, and those who try to conceive will not be lucky.The old man died when he was a hundred years old. "Historical Records: The Thirty-sixth Biography of Prime Minister Zhang" Here, Sima Qian expressed a high degree of concern for Zhang Cang's private life.First, it carefully studied Zhang Cang's parents and family situation, and finally settled on Zhang Cang's corrupt private life.After discovering that Zhang Cang was old and lost all his teeth, he specialized in breastfeeding women. He had more than a hundred wives and concubines.This proves that Zhang Cang is a man who focuses on carrying on the family line, and his sexual orientation is fine.

Zhang Cang's taste is normal, so it can be seen that Wang Ling's taste is not heavy.Everyone is a normal person, but Wang Ling's reasons for pleading for Zhang Cang are extremely abnormal.This can only prove another thing: the reason why Wang Ling interceded with this weird reason is because this reason is not a reason. What is the reason? It was the big brother in the past, a test for the little brother who was shaking now.Test whether the little brother still has the big brother in his heart, and whether he still listens to the big brother. If Wang Ling intercedes with other normal reasons, it is not a test, but a reason.Only a reason that is not a reason, completely unreasonable, is enough to test the younger brother's mind.Judging from the situation, Liu Bang skillfully responded to the challenge of Wang Ling, and immediately released Zhang Cang, which gave enough face to the former eldest brother.But in this process, Liu Bang should have made Wang Ling feel strong pressure in his own unique way.

So the final result is: Although Wang Ling and Liu Bang joined forces in victory, Wang Ling did not follow Liu Bang.Speaking of which, after all, he was Liu Bang's big brother back then, waving the flag and shouting after the younger brother. He was uncomfortable with this kind of thing, and Liu Bang would be awkward too. It's better for everyone to separate. Although the two separated and went their own way, the elder brother Wang Ling was kind and generous, except for asking his former younger brother to give him enough respect in the Zhang Cang incident, he never made things difficult for his younger brother.And the younger brother Liu Bang is very shrewd, he wants to use the huge power he has gradually formed to finally force the elder brother to admit the reality-the reality is that the younger brother is already the elder brother, and the elder brother must admit that he is the younger brother.

In short, the encounter between Nanyang and his former elder brother Wang Ling meant a major challenge for Liu Bang.In interpersonal relationships, the most difficult thing to deal with is this reversal of the order of superiority and inferiority.Among the two, as long as one of them has a slight psychological imbalance, it will lead to tragedy, and eventually the common personality of the two will break down.But Wang Ling and Liu Bang are both extraordinary figures. They properly handled the deadlock they faced and skillfully displayed their personal charm. Of course, Liu Bang was the most successful in this secret personality battle centered on interpersonal communication, and it was also Liu Bang who benefited the most. Afterwards, Liu Bang led his troops to attack Hu Yang, and met Fan Jun Wu Rui—he was a historical celebrity who established Poyang City on Poyang Lake and was a strong supporter of Xiang Liang's uprising.His daughter married Meixi, another general of the fierce general Yingbu, and Meixi also came to defect to Liu Bang.Liu Bang took this Meixi, and everyone teamed up to attack Xicheng and Licheng. Basically, there was no substantive battle, and these cities opened their doors and surrendered. Although everyone was eager to surrender, Fan Kui still found a chance to kill him happily.He beheaded 24 people in Li County and captured 40 people.Liu Bang had nothing to do with him, so he had to add more rewards. According to the history books, because Liu Bang properly dealt with the surrender of Huanjuan, the governor of Nanyang County, the people of Qin believed that the Chu army led by Liu Bang was not cruel and would not retaliate against Qin.Therefore, the people of Qin State showed enough tolerance towards the upcoming dynasty change. The benevolent is invincible, and the barbarians are convinced.Liu Bang felt the great glory of the upcoming success.He also came up with a strange trick, sending Ningchang, a native of Wei, to Xianyang to talk to Qin Er Shi, hoping that Qin Er Shi could recognize the situation and surrender voluntarily, so as to avoid Liu Bang's further trouble. After going to Ningchang and not returning, a terrible news came: Qin General Zhang Han, with 200,000 troops, surrendered to Xiang Yu.At this time, Xiang Yu had a total force of 600,000, and he had become a unique military giant in the world.No one can match him, no one! Liu Bang, in front of this powerful force, suddenly trembled.
