The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys are cooked; the high bird is gone, but the good bow is hidden; the enemy's country is destroyed and the advisers perish.

In history, there are not many counselors who can recognize themselves and the situation, complete their mission, protect themselves, and die a good death. The historical figure I want to talk about today is one of them.

Chen Ping, a native of Fuxiang, Yangwuhu (now Yuanyang, Henan Province), was a founding hero in the early Han Dynasty. His contribution was not inferior to that of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty ( Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin). He made six ingenious plans to help Liu Bang dominates the world. However, due to his family background, Liu Bang, who consolidated the Liu family and sat on the throne of the emperor, became suspicious and uneasy, and launched a purge and massacre of meritorious ministers. So it appeared, Zhang Liang retired, Xiao He committed suicide, Han Xin died tragically, and Peng Yue was executed. Yingbu, Lu Wan, Chen Xi, Zang Tu, Han Wangxin and others forced the rebels to rebel. They could escape but were killed. Only a small number of people including Chen Ping and others survived. In addition to numerous historical subjective reasons, personal objective factors cannot be ignored.

has the world in mind and is well versed in current affairs and invests in Liu Bang. At the end of the Qin Dynasty Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up. Chen Ping preceded Wei Wang Jiu, a descendant of the Six Kingdoms. Due to the disharmony in his three views, he transferred to the command of King Xiang. Later, he was attacked because he was defending the territory. He was afraid that Xiang Yu would be angry and killed, and at night Join Liu Bang. After contact and understanding, mutual goodwill doubled, and they were granted official titles and rewards. It laid the foundation for the "Six Strange Strategies" to conquer the world and eventually become a generation of counselors. It can be seen that the first few years of his career were quite unsatisfactory. Fortunately, he had a clear goal and was brave enough to try and make mistakes.

Shi alienated Xiang Yu for his unkindness, and lamented that his father had no choice but to return home ( alienated Fan Zeng). In 203 BC, the Chu-Han War entered the most intense stage of strategic stalemate. Liu Bang was trapped in the city of Xingyang , with food and foreign aid cut off, and his life and death were at stake. Chen Ping suggested that Liu Bang should allocate 40,000 kilograms of gold to bribe the generals of the Chu army, and spread rumors: "Fan Yafu and Zhong Limei are arrogant and want to break the soil and become king." Xiang Yu, who has always been suspicious, fell into the trap, and Fan Zeng returned home in anger, carrying He developed abscesses, and soon fell ill and passed away. Since then, Xiang Yu has lost his most powerful adviser, and he has become like a giant beast out of the pack, being slowly eaten away by others.

In desperation, Chen Ping pretended to surrender and disguised himself as Liu Bang to escape (relieving Xingyang from being trapped). When learned that he had been tricked, Fan Zeng died of anger, Xiang Yu was furious, and launched a fierce attack on Xingyang City. Seeing this, Chen Ping was unable to resist, so he wrote a letter in the name of King of Han, willing to surrender outside the east gate. So he ordered his general Ji Xin, who was somewhat similar to Liu Bang, to pretend to be the king of Han and go out to the east gate to pretend to surrender. Chen Ping, Liu Bang, Zhang Liang and others led their elite troops to break through the weakly defended west gate and rush to the back of the city gate. , all the way west, escaped back to Guanzhong , and finally saved his life.

Besieged on all sides, Gaixia is surrounded by enemies.Wujiang. In 202 BC, when Liu Bang was trapped by Xiang Yu, Han Xin was in a state of unstoppable strength, so he took this opportunity to ask for the title of "False King". Liu Bang became furious and cursed the envoy. Chen Ping and Zhang Liang immediately gave the King of Han a wink. Liu Bang was naturally shrewd and understood, so he followed the trend and made Han Xin the King of Qi.

Although Xiang Yu was in great power at this time, without the planning of his advisers, people's support was against him and he was at the end of his strength. Chen Ping observed this keenly, after appeasing Han Xin to avoid disaster. Immediately mobilized troops and launched an "ambush" against Xiang Yu. Faced with enemies from all sides, the exhausted soldiers had no intention of fighting. After the defeat, they fled to the Wujiang River. They said to themselves that they had no face to see Jiangdong. After looking up to the sky and smiling, they committed suicide here. The four-year "Chu-Han War" is over, and the world is about to be unified.

Emperor Gaozu took a vacation Yunmengze , and Chen Pingzhi captured King Han Xin. The world was initially settled, Liu Bang became wary, and Han Xin was already proud of himself, and the villain high density rebelled. Since ancient times, the emperor's attitude towards this matter was "it would be better to kill three thousand in vain than to let one person slip through the net." But looking around, he found that he He doesn’t have that strength. Therefore, Chen Ping planned a game where Gaozu pretended to be traveling in the clouds, meeting the princes here, and deceived Han Xin to come here to pay him an audience.In this case, Han Xin was like a turtle in an urn, he could only be captured without mercy, brought back to Xianyang, removed the title of king, and demoted him to the title of Marquis of Huaiyin. In fact, he was under house arrest, and a generation of war gods was about to come to an end.

bribed the Yan family to relieve the siege of Baideng, and the Han Emperor nearly lost his life after seven days of hard work.. In order to strengthen the country's prestige and fight against the Xiongnu, in 200 BC, Liu Bang personally led an army of 320,000 people to go on an expedition. Unexpectedly, it backfired, but he was besieged by the Xiongnu Maodun Shanyu's 400,000 elite cavalry in Baishan Mountain, . He saw that he ran out of ammunition and food. It was the middle of winter, hungry and cold, and everything was in danger. At this time, Chen Ping came up with another clever idea. He thought that the Huns were all fond of jewelry, especially women, so he quickly gathered a large number of them and secretly arranged for envoys to contact Shan Yu 's beloved concubine " Yan's " to bribe them, and lied to them. He said that he would send a bill to a beautiful woman from the Central Plains to arouse her jealousy. After the Yan family returned, they said that hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Han army would arrive soon. Even if they killed the Han emperor, it would be meaningless to gain the land in the Central Plains. They would also form a feud with him, so hundreds of thousands of Huns cavalry retreated the next day. This kind of strategy cannot but be called brilliant. Even today, two thousand years later, it is still thought-provoking. Chen Ping's understanding of human nature is too thorough.

Gaozu had long been wary of betraying his relatives, and Chen Pingzhi, a relative of the emperor, released Fan Kuai. In 195 BC, Han Gaozu After Liu Bang put down the Yingbo rebels, he fell ill due to injuries. At this time, he heard that he had grown young - King Yan Lu Wan had also rebelled, and he originally wanted to send Fan Kuai. During the crusade, someone reported that Fan Kuai had conspired to Empress Lu with evil intentions. The house was ruined and even the night clouds were broken, and the boat was leaked and the leader was in trouble.

At the critical moment, Chen Ping came into use again. Liu Bang ordered him to kill Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo took advantage of the opportunity to take over the commander's seal. But as the number one conspirator, how could Chen Ping be so simple? Who is Fan Kuai? Firstly, he was Empress Lu's brother-in-law, and secondly, the emperor might just be angry for a moment. Somehow, Chen Pingyan was convinced. On the way to escorting Fan Kuai back to Xianyang, he received the news of Liu Bang's death.

Chen Ping certainly knew that after Liu Bang's death, Empress Lu's world would naturally belong to him. He was secretly happy. Fortunately, he did not kill Fan Kuai. Taking this opportunity to hand Fan Kuai over to Empress Lu, he relieved his own difficulties, became a favorable favor, and gained Empress Lu's appreciation, killing three birds with one stone.

Exterminated Zhu Lu and returned to the Liu family. When Empress Lu came to power, her actions completely angered the senior officials in the court, and she also reused the descendants of the Lu family, which naturally caused more dissatisfaction. As soon as Empress Lu died, Chen Ping joined forces with Zhou Bo and others to annihilate Lu's rebellion, and welcomed King Li Dai Liu Heng as emperor, still in the Liu family. Later, in the second year of Emperor Wen's reign, he died of illness while he was still serving as prime minister, and died a good death.

Chen Ping had countless tricks in his life. He originally followed Huang Lao's theory, but he had many conspiracies, which was actually contrary to Taoism . He once said: "I have many conspiracies, which are forbidden by Taoism. My world is over, it is over, and it will never come back again, because I have many evil disasters." The coffin is sealed and the merits and demerits of right and wrong are judged by others.

In the eyes of today's people, it is indeed a conspiracy that frequently kills people invisible. History is history after all. Whether you accept it or not will become a fact. Since ancient times, counselors have harmed too many people, and only a handful of them can achieve a happy ending. Why is Chen Ping able to escape danger so many times?

If you look at that time with the perspective of future generations, you will find that Chen Ping has advantages that most people from ancient times to the present do not have, that is, " knows people, understands people, and knows himself better", Know the weaknesses of human nature and understand your own soul. He is not proud of taking credit, but is arrogant on his talents. He is smooth in everything, but has a firm bottom line and supports the Han Dynasty.

As a person, his life could not be called bad, nor could he be called bad. When it comes to monarchs and ministers, he can definitely be regarded as a loyal minister. Although I do not always follow the leadership's arrangements, the results are what my boss expects. There is also a modern saying printed on the side: "How kind you are, how wise you need to be."

The history of tea drinking, what insights has Chen Ping, the greatest conspirator of all time, given you?
