Chapter 240: Kill the heroes first when you ascend the throne
"Liu Bang knew that Xiang Yu was conceited by nature, so he played a stratagem to alienate Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng, causing Fan Zeng to turn against him and Fan Zeng left in anger."

"When Xiang Yu came to attack Xingyang in order to eliminate the roots, Liu Bang escaped under the cover of his subordinates, ran to join Han Xin, and soon led his troops back to invade the hinterland of Western Chu."

"Xiang Yu was harassed by Ying Bu and Peng Yue at his rear. He was attacked from both sides. He was so annoyed that he finally had no choice but to compromise with Liu Bang. Using the chasm as the boundary, the east side belonged to Chu and the west side belonged to Han, thus dividing the world in the middle."

"Liu Bang pretended to agree, and when the Chu army retreated, he ordered an all-out pursuit, catching Xiang Yu off guard."

"In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought in a decisive battle at Gaixia. The Han army had 30 troops and the Chu army only had [-] troops. It can be seen that Liu Bang seemed to be favored by the public at this time, and his prestige was far better than that of Xiang Yu."

"Han Xin knew that Xiang Yu was conceited and used the method of luring the enemy deep into the Chu army. He sent troops from the left and right flanks to outflank the Chu army and attack fiercely. The Chu army was defeated and retreated to the fortress to hold on and was surrounded."

"Han Xin used another trick of "besieged on all sides" to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the trapped Chu army. Xiang Yu felt that he was in danger and led 800 people to break out to Wujiang River. Only 28 people were left. He felt that he had no face to face the Jiangdong elders and refused to cross the river. Then he fought to The whole army was wiped out and he committed suicide."

"This is the end of the Chu-Han War, ending with Liu Bang's victory."

"The specific battles have been mentioned before, so I won't go into details. The end of the Chu-Han Dynasty was when Liu Bang ascended the throne, and the beginning of the Han Dynasty began."

Xiang Yu: Liu Bang is just a villain!

Liu Bang: Yes!I am just a scoundrel, a villain in the market. How do you feel when the majestic Overlord of Western Chu lost to a villain like me?Do you still want justice and fairness on the battlefield?ridiculous!

Liu Xiu: That’s right, whoever doesn’t play tricks on the battlefield and goes head-to-head, Xiang Yu, you have no brains.

Li Shimin: It can only be said that Xiang Yu is arrogant and does not take others into consideration. Han Xin is the same, and so is Liu Bang. You dismiss these two major threats, but Xiang Yu is still very powerful in fighting. This cannot be denied.

Zhu Yuanzhang: Look at the emotional intelligence level of our Tang Taizong. High emotional intelligence: great at fighting!Low EQ: reckless man!Ha ha!
Wu Zetian: The greatest strength of Liu Bang is in appointing talents. Han Xin was not reused by Xiang Yu, but Liu Bang not only reused Han Xin, but also gave Han Xin as many soldiers as he wanted. After the troubled Korean noble Zhang Liang defected to Liu Bang, he made plans to govern the country. When formulating policies and deploying strategies and tactics, Liu Bang always followed the plan. During the Qin Dynasty, Xiao He, the county official, Liu Bang had great trust in him. Xiao He had the final say on how to spend and use the money. How could he make people dissatisfied with what he did? Loyal to the Lord.

"Liu Bang must have some abilities. How did Liu Bang, who was born in the world, rise up in troubled times, defeat all the heroes, fight fiercely for four years, and contend for five years, overthrow the violent Qin, defeat Xiang Yu, and become the first commoner emperor in history?"

"There is no doubt that it was no accident that Liu Bang won the world. He was extraordinary and had many excellent qualities that are worthy of future generations to think about and learn from."

"When Liu Bang passed through the pass, beheaded generals, captured Guanzhong, and was obsessed with the luxury of the Qin Palace, Fan Kuai and Zhang Liang reminded him in time: Do you just want to be the king of Guanzhong and enjoy the success, or do you want to become the overlord of the world?"

"Liu Bang suddenly came to his senses and immediately moved out of Afang Palace and returned to the army. It can be said that Liu Bang was able to achieve his great deeds precisely because he never forgot his original intention."

"To sum up the reasons for Liu Bang's success, during the conflict between Chu and Han, Liu Bang knew people well and obeyed his advice. He not only gave full play to the talents of his subordinates, but also paid attention to uniting the forces against Xiang Yu from all over the country. Finally, he defeated the Chu army in Gaixia with a strategy of being surrounded on all sides. The military morale made Xiang Yu desperate and committed suicide by the Wu River. The Chu-Han War, which lasted for nearly five years, ended with Xiang Yu's suicide."

"In December 202 BC, the conflict between Chu and Han that had lasted for nearly five years finally came to an end." "With the defeat of Xiang Yu Gaixia, the overlord of Western Chu, who committed suicide in Wujiang River, Liu Bang, the king of Han, finally became the victor with the last laugh. .”

"Heroes in the world are one family. In line with the mutual sympathy and comradeship, Liu Bang buried Xiang Yu in Gucheng with the standards and etiquette of Lu Gong. He paid the funeral in person and cried loudly in front of Xiang Yu's grave."

"As soon as he turned around, he rushed straight to Dingtao County, and the old trick was repeated again. This time he was no longer Liu Bang who pretended to be the envoy of the King of Han before entering Han Xin's camp in the early morning. Instead, he drove all the way from the main gate straight to Han Xin's handsome tent, openly and honestly. He took back the seal of general he had given to Han Xin and took back his army."

"Actually, it's easy to understand, because Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu who once gave Liu Bang a headache, is dead. Now looking at the world, the only person Liu Bang can't defeat and is afraid of is his general - Han Xin."

"Before he ascends the throne, he kills the heroes first. Liu Bang hasn't even ascended the throne yet, so the first thing he does is actually get rid of Han Xin."

"Because at that time, King Han Xin of Qi was in a high position, held a heavy army, and occupied the Qi State. If "people do not hurt the tiger's heart, but the tiger hurts the will of others", the tiger Xiang Yu had just been eliminated at such a high cost, and another one jumped out of the back door. How can Liu Bang deal with this cunning and insidious hungry wolf?"

"The old saying goes: "If you have nothing to gain, your ambition will overwhelm you; if you have a sharp weapon, you will have a murderous intention." Even though Liu Bang and Han Xin trusted each other and were loyal to each other."

"But there are still people who value Han Xin's value. If someone comes to sow discord in the middle, then there may still be a clash of swords and war again."

"Therefore, the wily and cunning Liu Bang followed the principle of "strike first to gain advantage, strike later to suffer disaster", and used the thick black emperor technique to nip potential dangers in the bud. He took action first and eliminated the threat first."

"Now that the world has been unified and will enter a period of peace construction, why do we need so many soldiers? Therefore, no matter what, Han Xin's military power must be lifted immediately!"

"This was not enough. Immediately afterwards, while Liu Bang named Peng Yue King of Liang, he changed Han Xin to King of Chu and left Qi within a time limit."

"Did you see that just after the war ended and before the smoke cleared, Liu Bang couldn't wait to start "repairing," "rectifying," and "transforming" Han Xin first?"

"It's easy to talk about lifting military power. Han Xin also understands Liu Bang's thoughts and concerns. He is very cooperative and does not dare to resist."

"However, the King of Qi, who had only been enfeoffed for two months, has also been replaced. What is Liu Bang's intention?"

"The obvious reason is that Han Xin worked hard and made great achievements, and he was from Chu. Wouldn't being named King of Chu be the best way to demonstrate his achievements and the highest reward given to him by Liu Bang, the King of Han?"

"The secret reason is that first of all, the title of King Qi was obtained by Han Xin when Liu Bang was beaten to a pulp by Xiang Yu and was in a state of embarrassment. Liu Bang was very unhappy at that time."
