Chapter 25 The Plan for Hanzhong County
Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng drew up a fiefdom plan. When the two people discussed it, under Fan Zeng's suggestion, Xiang Yu only gave Liu Bang the fiefdoms of Bajun and Shujun. So, why did Hanzhong County be added later? That's it.
It’s a long story.
It turned out that before the enfeoffment plan was officially announced, Zhang Liang, who stayed with Xiang Yu in the army to accompany the King of Han after the Hongmen Banquet, learned of the content, and he immediately revealed it to Liu Bang.
If Liu Bang was happy about being banished to Bashu, he would be angry.
Bajun and Shujun are basically today's Sichuan. They were originally the Ba and Shu kingdoms established by local ethnic minorities. The east is Ba and the west is Shu. The aborigines are Pu, Xi, Ju, Gong, Nu, Xie and Yi.
, Dian, Dian, Liao, Bo and other tribes. It was probably during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin who split Shang Yang in his carriage that Ba and Shu were annexed by Qin.
It has only been more than a hundred years ago. Although the land of Bashu is fertile and the climate is suitable, when outsiders arrive there, it is very easy for outsiders to become acclimatized and even die. The living conditions of Bashu are very harsh for the people of the Central Plains, and it is located in a remote place.
Stay away from the Central Plains. Unless they have no choice, most people from the Central Plains are not willing to live in Bashu.
Liu Bang is also a human being, and of course he is not willing. If according to the agreement of King Huai of Chu, he should be the only master of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, and the king of kings who can command the world. Even if Xiang Yu does not agree, with Liu Bang's contribution
, he was content with being given a fiefdom in Qilu or Jingchu. But now, he is "sent" to the border. This is not only persecution, but also naked humiliation.
It's tolerable, but it's unbearable. Liu Bang is also the commander-in-chief of a hundred thousand troops. Ever since Xiang Yu came to Xianyang, Liu Bang has been groveling and submissive, but he got this result. This made Liu Bang finally unable to control himself. He bit
He thought with eyes wide open: Isn't it just death? Ever since he pinned his head on his waistband and rebelled against the Qin Dynasty, who has not put life and death at risk? Anyway, he might get seriously ill and die there in Bashu, so why not fight with Xiang Yu here?
Got it!
In extreme anger, Liu Bang issued an order to prepare to attack Xiang Yu.
When Liu Bang said he would go all out, his men were really unambiguous. The generals led by Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, and Fan Kuai all asked for a fight and wanted to lead the battle. Everyone would rather fight Xiang Yu to the death than go to Bashu.

When everyone was excited and wanted to take action, Zhang Liang sent another message. Zhang Liang was afraid that Liu Bang would lose his temper and do something stupid, so in the letter he urged Liu Bang to be patient for the time being and recharge his batteries for the future, and told Liu Bang
, he had bribed Xiang Bo with a large amount of money, and asked Xiang Bo to help Liu Bang get Hanzhong from Xiang Yu.
It turned out that because Zhang Liang was left in the army by Xiang Yu in the name of serving the King of Han, Liu Bang felt that the two of them might be separated from each other from now on, so he prepared a generous gift for Zhang Liang to express his gratitude for Zhang Liang's constant help; at the same time, he prepared
A gift was entrusted to Zhang Liang to give to Xiang Bo to thank him for his help at the Hongmen Banquet. After Zhang Liang learned about the enfeoffment plan, he notified Liu Bang and gave both gifts to Xiang Bo.
He asked Bo Xiang: "I recently learned by chance that General Xiang wanted to grant Pei Gong to Bashu. Hanzhong is adjacent to Bashu. It was Pei Gong who first conquered it. It is now managed by Li Shang, a subordinate of Pei Gong. Bashu is too difficult. Pei Gong is old.
I'm old, and I hope to live in Hanzhong and lead Bashu. You also know that General Xiang is a little jealous of Pei Gong, so it's hard for Pei Gong to make this request. Can you please ask General Xiang for a favor?"
Hanzhong County is one of the thirty-six counties of the Qin Dynasty. It is located in the southwest of today's Shaanxi Province, leaning on the Qinling Mountains in the north, Daba Mountain in the south, and the Hanzhong Basin in the middle. It is the first granary of the Qin State. Moreover, there is a plank road connecting Hanzhong to Guanzhong.
It can be said that it was at that time
The gateway from Bashu to Guanzhong was extremely important to Liu Bang who was granted the title of Bashu. Zhang Liang knew that Liu Bang's enfeoffment of Bashu was a foregone conclusion, so he did not seek in vain to let Xiang Yu change the enfeoffment, but instead placed his hope on letting Xiang Yu grant Liu Bang the title of Hanzhong County.
.
Xiang Bo had a fatal friendship with Zhang Liang and was married to Liu Bang. Since the Hongmen Banquet, he has always regarded himself as the protector of poor Liu Bang. Moreover, because of the Hongmen Banquet incident, there was a conflict between Xiang Bo and Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng was blamed for the whole incident.
Ri provides advice to Xiang Yu, so he can be regarded as the second-ranking figure in Xiang Yu's army. Xiang Bo
Compared with this, the power is far behind. Now Zhang Liang is asking for help on behalf of Liu Bang with a heavy gift. Xiang Bo is willing to take this opportunity to sell a favor to his friend, help Liu Bang, and at the same time reduce Fan Zeng's arrogance, so he agreed on the spot
Come down. Therefore, Zhang Liangcai sent a letter to Liu Bang, asking the latter not to worry and wait for good news.
Xiao He also advised Liu Bang at this time: "Your Majesty, you must not be impulsive! Our troops are not as large as Xiang Yu's, and the quality and equipment of our soldiers are not as strong as Xiang Yu's. What's more, Xiang Yu has the support of the princes around him? No matter how we fight, we will lose.
You've been able to endure it all these days
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Why can't you take this breath today? Didn't King Tang and King Wen of Shang surrender to Xia Jie and Yin Zhou? But they eventually became the masters of the world. I hope that your Majesty can regard Shang Tang and King Wen as your
Example, according to the arrangement of the ovary, first seek Hanzhong, and then
Bear the humiliation, take Hanzhong as the foundation, reclaim wasteland, win over the people, recruit talents, and then use the manpower and material resources of Bashu. When the strength is strong enough, they will fight out and counterattack Guanzhong. In this case, Xiang Yu's arrangement today may not be impossible.
You overthrew me and started over!"
After being comforted by Zhang Liang and Xiao He, Liu Bang came to his senses and was no longer depressed. He immediately ordered Xiao He to formulate a plan to accept Hanzhong, Ba, and Shu, ordered the generals to be prepared to leave Guanzhong, and sent someone to tell Zhang Liang: I am willing.
At any cost, please Zifang must seek Hanzhong for me!
Uncle Xiang did not hesitate to harm his nephew's interests for the sake of Liu Bang. He sent Zhang Liang away, and immediately went to find Xiang Yu when Fan Zeng was not present. He accused Xiang Yu of treating Liu Bang harshly and sealing Liu Bang to Bashu, and asked Xiang Yu to seal Hanzhong to Bashu.
Liu Bang offered Liu Bang as compensation. Xiang Yu thought about it for a while and actually agreed. He did not consult with Fan Zeng and revised the plan on his own.
Soon, Xiang Yu's enfeoffment of the princes was announced, and Liu Bang easily obtained Hanzhong County. When Fan Zeng learned the news, he was furious and came to Xiang Yu to scold him. However, Xiang Yu's words had already been spoken, and it was difficult to take them back, so some people were happy and some were sad.
However, Fan Zeng did not admit defeat and was determined to get rid of Liu Bang.
Although Liu Bang obtained the Hanzhong fiefdom with the help of Xiang Bo, the wily Fan Zeng did not take it completely to heart. He believed that even if Liu Bang was an eagle, he could hold it in his hands. He made up his mind to do this.
, Fan Zeng simply asked Xiang Yu not to let the princes go back, and to try to find opportunities to deal with a few more, so as to reduce hidden dangers in the future.
As a result, Liu Bang, who had just been happy to get Hanzhong, began to worry again. He could not return to his fiefdom. He did not dare to move under Xiang Yu's nose, for fear that Xiang Yu would find an excuse to kill him. If this continues, when will
Only then could he get ahead. With no other choice, Liu Bang sent someone to ask Zhang Liang for advice.
There were times when Zhang Liang was at his wits end and couldn't come up with any good ideas. After much deliberation, he decided to discuss it with Chen Ping.
