Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!
Chapter 324 I'm just putting on airs, I won't kill you outright!
At the critical moment, Zhang Liang once again showed extraordinary calmness and wisdom. He earnestly persuaded Liu Bang to endure his anger for the time being and not act impulsively, but to take a long-term view to seek greater strategic benefits. To this end, Zhang Liang spent a lot of money to bribe Xiang Bo, and with this personal relationship, he once again won the crucial Hanzhong area for Liu Bang;
In this way, under Zhang Liang's careful planning, Liu Bang's army gained a precious breathing space, and could rest and recuperate in their own territory and actively develop and strengthen their strength. It can be said that without Zhang Liang's outstanding performance and foresight at the Hongmen Banquet and a series of subsequent events, the course of history might have been completely rewritten.
Liu Bang suffered a disastrous defeat in Pengcheng, and his army was routed like a tide, with no power to fight back. Taigong and Empress Lü were unfortunately captured by the Chu camp and became hostages. In the chaotic and life-threatening escape, Liu Bang cruelly abandoned his own son three times just to have a better chance of escape. His own life was hanging by a thread, and he was almost captured by the pursuers.
At this desperate moment, Zhang Liang showed his outstanding wisdom and foresight. After careful consideration, he proposed to Liu Bang a strategic plan that could turn the tide - "win over Ying Bu, contact Peng Yue, rely on Han Xin, and jointly resist Chu."
Liu Bang, who had just experienced a great defeat, was eager to save the situation and planned to enfeoff the descendants of the six kingdoms as kings in an attempt to disperse and weaken Xiang Yu's power. However, Zhang Liang knew that this move was inappropriate. With a keen strategic vision and a long-term perspective, he pointed out eight major drawbacks. Under Zhang Liang's earnest advice, Liu Bang finally realized the truth and decisively gave up the idea of enfeoffment.
It was Zhang Liang's wise move that had a significant impact on the outcome of the Chu-Han War. If Liu Bang had insisted on enfeoffing the descendants of the six kingdoms as kings, it would not only fail to effectively contain Xiang Yu, but might have caused internal disputes and further deteriorated the situation.
Later, Liu Bang followed Zhang Liang's advice and made Han Xin the king, which greatly stabilized the morale of the Han army and consolidated the overall situation of the anti-Chu war. You know, with Liu Bang's temperament, if Zhang Liang had not stopped him in time, he would have been furious because of his dissatisfaction with Han Xin's request for the title of king, and he might even have completely broken up with Han Xin. In this way, whether the Han Dynasty could be successfully established would become an unknown. It can be said that Zhang Liang's series of decisions and suggestions in the Xiayi plot were the key to establishing the Han Dynasty!
After the peace talks at Honggou, Xiang Yu led his army to withdraw to the east. At this time, Zhang Liang, with his keen insight and outstanding wisdom, looked at the situation in the world and clearly realized that the perfect time for a strategic counterattack had arrived. He made a prompt decision and advised Liu Bang to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He also actively contacted Han Xin, Peng Yue and other generals to jointly send troops to form a siege and trap Xiang Yu at Gaixia.
In order to further weaken the fighting spirit of the Chu army and fundamentally isolate Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang carefully planned and implemented a thrilling psychological tactic - the Chu songs on all sides. As night fell, the familiar Chu songs suddenly sounded all around. This sudden music made the Chu soldiers feel homesick, and their original firm fighting spirit collapsed in an instant. Especially Xiang Yu himself, when he heard the Chu songs coming from all directions, he couldn't help but be horrified, mistakenly thinking that his hometown Chu had fallen into the hands of the Han army. Shrouded in despair, Xiang Yu led only 800 cavalrymen to break out at all costs that night.
Although Xiang Yu was extremely brave, he was ultimately outnumbered. In the end, the once invincible King of Western Chu committed suicide by slashing his throat on the bank of the Wujiang River, ending his magnificent yet tragic life. With Xiang Yu's defeat, Liu Bang successfully established the great Han Dynasty.
Even when the Han Dynasty was just beginning, Zhang Liang still showed extraordinary political talent and foresight in the face of many complex and thorny issues. At that time, the issue of the location of the capital caused a fierce debate in the court, and everyone had different opinions. But Zhang Liang overcame all objections and firmly advocated that the capital be located in Guanzhong.
He elaborated in detail on the unique geographical advantages and important strategic significance of Guanzhong, believing that this was the foundation for the long-term stability of the Han Dynasty. It was because of Zhang Liang's strong persuasion that Liu Bang finally adopted his suggestion and established the capital in Guanzhong, thus laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of the Han Empire.
In addition, Zhang Liang persuaded Liu Bang to let go of his hatred and resentment and adopt a tolerant policy towards his former enemies and meritorious officials. In this way, the once tense relationship between the monarch and his ministers was successfully eased, allowing the court to maintain relative harmony and stability. Moreover, when Liu Bang faced the difficulty of deposing and enthroning the crown prince, it was Zhang Liang who stepped forward and offered a clever plan to save the crown prince's position, avoiding the occurrence of civil strife in the palace and effectively maintaining the stability of the new regime.
Later, Chen Xi launched a rebellion and the situation was critical. Zhang Liang, who was ill, ignored his own safety and resolutely followed Liu Bang to fight and suppress the rebellion. During the war, he relied on his extraordinary wisdom to come up with a clever plan to capture Mayi, and once again made great contributions to consolidating the regime of the early Han Dynasty.
The most crucial point is that when Liu Bang and Lü Zhi joined forces to eliminate the meritorious officials, Zhang Liang was able to cleverly protect himself. Although he did not have a good end in the end, but died of illness, compared with Han Xin and others who were killed by Lü Zhi, he was much happier! However, these are only some of the more famous deeds Zhang Liang did in his life. In addition, the other subtle things he did are simply countless.
If Gao Yao could successfully recruit Zhang Liang to his camp, then all three heroes of the early Han Dynasty would be in his hands. More importantly, Zhang Liang himself has a unique advantage - he enjoys a very high reputation both in the circle of literati and in the sphere of influence of the six countries. This reputation is undoubtedly of vital significance and value to Gao Yao in the future.
At this moment, the guards who had been guarding Gao Yao noticed something strange. Gao Yao's originally calm face was now showing a strange look, and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Liang who was not far ahead. Seeing this, the guards quietly placed their right hands on the sabers hanging at their waists. At the same time, the other guards around seemed to understand and silently gathered over here.
These personal soldiers were all long-time confidants of Gao Yao, and were very familiar with his every move. The last time they saw Gao Yao showing such an expression was when someone dared to sneak into the mansion and attempted to assassinate him. Therefore, almost instantly, they instinctively regarded the man named Zhang Liang in front of them as someone with ulterior motives.
However, at this moment, Zhang Liang was completely stunned. The development of this plot was really beyond his expectation! Admittedly, he did act a little self-righteous and arrogant just now, but more of it was actually a test. After all, he came here to find out whether Gao Yao was a wise leader who was truly worthy of his assistance. Especially at this critical moment when the enemy was at the gates, could Gao Yao really be respectful to the wise? How magnanimous could he be?
When Gao Yao stepped out of the gate of the mansion, Zhang Liang was really shocked. The Gao Yao standing in front of him was no longer the same as described in the plot. Because of practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna, Gao Yao's every step was fierce, like a tiger descending from the mountain; his originally thin body became stronger and stronger, and he looked majestic and imposing.
The key is that the whole person's aura gives people a sense of majesty without anger, and even carries some of the king's arrogance. It is also applicable in ancient times to know the whole picture from a glimpse. As an old man from Korea, Zhang Liang has seen countless people with extraordinary auras, and Gao Yao's aura destined Gao Yao to be someone who would never be under someone else's command for long.
One of the reasons why Zhang Liang showed up here was that Gao Yao sent people to look for his whereabouts. Zhang Liang had actually heard about this a long time ago. With his extraordinary wisdom, he easily guessed that Gao Yao's move was intended to recruit talents and bring him under his command. However, for Zhang Liang at this time, he had no interest in this matter. After all, Gao Yao was a general of the Qin State at that time, and Zhang Liang, as a righteous man against the Qin State, how could he willingly surrender to the enemy? Besides, Gao Yao was still an unknown person at that time, and it was really difficult for him to catch the eye of Zhang Liang, a wise man.
But what happened next made Zhang Liang's heart ripple. Gao Yao not only continued to inquire and search for Zhang Liang's whereabouts, but also invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this. This persistent pursuit lasted for more than three years! Even after successfully becoming king by using Prince Gao, Gao Yao still did not give up the search for Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang's plot to assassinate Qin Shi Huang was extremely confidential, and only a few people knew about it. Once this secret was exposed, Zhang Liang would certainly be killed, and he might even end up with a miserable death without a burial place. Apart from this incident, although Zhang Liang had a little reputation in the world, it was far from the level that people were so eager to seek him. It was Gao Yao's perseverance and unwavering persistence that moved Zhang Liang and touched his heart.
Moreover, Zhang Liang was a very smart man. He had a clear mind about Gongzi Gao and knew that Gongzi Gao was just a cover to deceive others. The essence of this was exactly the same as when Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng supported Sun Xiongxin as King Huai of Chu. They both regarded them as a symbolic existence so that they could have a legitimate reason and a legitimate reason.
