All the birds, good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, the lackeys cook. This is almost the unspoken rule of the past dynasties. The founding heroes of the Han dynasty were all given "hidden rules" by Liu Bang, and the tragic degree of their end was proportional to their merit. The greater the merit, the more miserable the end. For example, the Huaiyin Marquis and Han Xin , who had outstanding talents and numerous battle exploits, ended up in the end of a banished clan. However, there is an exception among the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty. This person is Zhang Liang . From beginning to end, Zhang Liang won the trust of Liu Bang, and at the same time won the respect of and Lvhou, so that after Zhang Liang died, he also received the posthumous posthumous title of Wenchenghou. His son, , Zhang Budou was also named as a Hou. . All of this may have something to do with a "unnecessary" old man from Huangshi.
Zhang Liang's ancestors are Koreans, and his grandfather and father together have been together for five generations of the king of Han. But when Zhang Liang grew up, it was no longer possible to be an official in Korea, because Qin had already wiped out Korea in the process of reunification. We can understand Zhang Liang's resentment. Zhang Liang, who had lost his country, decided to use all his property to seek warriors to assassinate the King of Qin. Finally, he found a strongman and made a hammer weighing 120 kilograms, which he ambushed in where the first emperor Qin parade must pass. Zhang Liang and Hercules made a decisive shot at Bolangsha and threw the hammer out like a shot put. Unfortunately, they only hit the second car of Qin Shihuang . Since then, the times have changed, Zhang Liang's firm belief and tenacious will have made Liu Bang an immortal contribution to seizing the world.
On the vast land, his political vision and superb strategy are recorded everywhere. He designed to defeat Qin Jun, persuaded Liu Bang to withdraw from the Palace of Qin, fight for tattoo cloth , Peng Yue , win over Han Xin, and then destroy Chu. After Liu Bang was proclaimed emperor, he used four or two kilograms and suggested that , who had a grudge with Liu Bang, should be rewarded.Thus, the hearts of the people were completely settled and the disaster was wiped out in the bud. He is the core figure in the Liu Bang think tank. Liu Bang listened to his words and highly praised him for "in planning and planning, we will win thousands of miles away." However, these are not enough to explain Zhang Liang's greatness. Zhang Liang's true greatness lies not in supporting Liu Bang, but in protecting himself.
Zhang Liang knows that "the enemy will be destroyed and his ministers will die." In the face of colleagues who are striving for merit, he "dare not to be 30,000 households"; Liu Bang is extremely satisfied with any rewards given to him; In the late period of Liu Bang's reign, he often said that the sick Dumen would not go out and practiced the techniques of "Tao Yin" and " bigu"; he threatened to "abandon human affairs and want to swim from the red pine tree", and behaved in rapid retreat everywhere. Therefore, in the "Three Masters" in the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin was killed and Xiao He was imprisoned, but Zhang Liang remained unscathed. At this point, it's time for the old man Huangshi to play.
The encounter between Zhang Liang and the elderly Huangshi is like a pre-planned legend: when Zhang Liang was unknown, he often walked alone on a broken bridge in . One day, it should be in the evening, Zhang Liang accidentally saw an old man with a fairy style. He walked straight to Zhang Liang, deliberately threw the shoes under the bridge, and said provocatively to Zhang Liang, "Boy, go and pick up the shoes!" Zhang Liang was a little surprised, and finally suppressed his anger and picked the shoes back. Unexpectedly, the old man had to keep an inch and asked Zhang Liang to put on his shoes for him. Zhang Liang thought, since he has picked up his shoes, let's put them on for him. The old man stretched out his feet and watched Zhang Liang put on shoes for himself obediently, with a contented expression on his face. Finally, the old man smiled and left, and landed Zhang Liang, who was dumbfounded, on the bridge.
The old man suddenly returned after walking for a long time, and said abruptly: "You are a good boy, and you still have some future. Let's do that, five days later, when the daylight is dawn, you come here to see me "
Five days later, dawn appeared. Zhang Liang, who arrived in a hurry, found that the old man had arrived first. Before he could stand still, he heard the old man’s dissatisfaction: "I didn’t expect you to be embarrassed to date the old man. Late!" The old man left angrily after leaving a sentence: "Come back in five days!" Five days later,Even though he got up early, Zhang Liang was still late. The old man still said: "Come back in five days!" This time Zhang Liang was a good student, and he rushed to the bridge before midnight, like an underground party joint. Fortunately, I finally came once early this time. After a while, the old man also came, and finally smiled this time: "It should have been like this a long time ago!"
Under the dim moonlight, the old man took out a book like a trick: "This is a book Wonderful book, master the essentials, and you can be a teacher of the emperor. I expect you will have a big development in ten years. Boy, do it yourself!” Finally, the old man added: “Thirteen years later, don’t forget to arrive. See me in Jibei, I am the yellowstone under the Gucheng Mountain."
Since then, Zhang Liang has studied the art of war, and he has found a place to be useful after ten years. Liu Bang provided him with a broad stage. His weak literary body can be worth thousands of troops, and no one can replace it in Liu Bang's mind. After a 13-year absence from the old man, by chance, Zhang Liang came to Jibei on official business. At that time, he was following Liu Bang to inspect and passing by the Gucheng Mountain in Jibei. The past Yunyan suddenly came to mind. He looked around and saw the eye-catching yellowstone under the Gucheng Mountain. He rushed to Huangshi without hesitation, and respectfully retrieved the yellowstone. When he died later, he also left a last word, requesting that Huang Shi be buried with himself. As a result, the old man of Huangshi has become a myth that will be recited forever.
[Personal comment] Among the three outstanding figures found in the early Han Dynasty, only Zhang Liang got a good end. Zhang Liang's level and strategy are not only reflected in the planning of military affairs, but also in his self-protection. A legend about the old man in Huangshi is that his IQ and EQ are significantly higher than those of Han Xin and Xiao He. The old man Huangshi has come and gone without a trace, and there is no ghost, except for Zhang Liang, there is no second eyewitness. But in the end, the myth has come to a realistic end, and Zhang Liang's fake play really brought a Huangshi as physical evidence to prove that what he said before is true.Although this is a manifestation of Zhang Liang's lack of self-confidence, this piece of Huangshi has cleverly made up for the shortcomings of the legend of the old man in Huangshi fabricated by Zhang Liang. The appearance of this stone provided Zhang Liang with physical evidence and at the same time helped Zhang Liang complete his self-deification. How can ordinary people be jealous in the face of gods who are helped by heaven? As a result, Zhang Liang was able to endure his whole life in the end. It exists because of need, and the old man in Huangshi is a specimen of pragmatism. Sima Qian once said that he himself saw a portrait of Zhang Liang, who looked like a beautiful woman. Not only the appearance, but it seems that Zhang Liang's mind is as dense as that of a woman. Men and women are the foundation of great wealth!
