Everyone knows the story of the Hongmen Banquet, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took the lead in the uprising, firing the first shot against the tyrannical rule of the Qin Dynasty. Subsequently, all kinds of haojie responded one after another. In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, dragged the main force of the Qin army, which was a key battle for the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, Liu Bang took the opportunity to take Guanzhong, and the King of Qin had to open the city gate to surrender, and Liu Bang's troops looted the gold and silver treasures of the capital Xianyang and stole the fruits of Xiang Yu's victory. In order to get out of this evil breath, Xiang Yu deliberately set up a banquet at the Hongmen Gate, and Liu Bang also had to go to the banquet to ask Xiang Yu for his guilt.
Together with Liu Bang himself, there were a total of 6 people who went to the banquet at that time. The other 5 are Zhang Liang, Fan Duo, Xiahou Bao, Jin Qiang, and Ji Xin. The banquet was divided into four parts, the first part was Liu Bang asking Xiang Yu for his guilt and explaining that he had no intention of becoming emperor, and the looted gold and silver jewelry were all prepared for Xiang Yu, waiting for Xiang Yu to hand it over. Xiang Yu's brain was simple, and he believed it to be true.
The second part is the famous "Xiangzhuang Dancing Sword, intended to be Pei Gong", thanks to Xiang Yu's Xiang Bo, because in the early years Zhang Liang had been kind to Xiang Bo. Therefore, Xiang Bo stood up to block the sword and protected Liu Bang.
The third part is Fan Duo's intrusion, using the Xiangzhuang sword dance thing to play a role in the matter of Liu Bangming, and Xiang Yu is also embarrassed by Fan Duo, giving up the killing intention of Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet. The fourth part is that Liu Bang fled the Hongmen Feast on the pretext of escaping, and finally 6 people ran away with 5, leaving Zhang Liang alone.
Why did Liu Bang leave a person behind? Wasn't he afraid that Xiang Yu would kill Zhang Liang? Here, Xiaobian gives you a careful analysis.
First of all, a very simple truth is that you and a group of people go to a restaurant to eat, it is impossible to leave early without checkout, right? It is also impossible for the store to let everyone go directly in advance, and it is definitely necessary to leave a person to check out.
Hongmen banquet is exactly this truth, Liu Bang is running away under the pretext of going to the toilet, if 6 people go to the toilet, so xiang Yu will not immediately see that Liu Bang wants to escape? Therefore, it is necessary to leave a person to cover people's eyes and ears, creating the illusion that they will come back after going to the toilet.
So why is this person Zhang Liang? This person can only be Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang is the only adviser among the 6 people in the same group, the others are military generals, the brain is not flexible enough, neither can speak, nor will he deal with fan Zeng's "human spirit", only Zhang Liang stays, only have the opportunity to escape by himself.
Secondly, as mentioned above, Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo are benefactors, Xiang Bo once killed people, was saved by Zhang Liang, in order to repay the favor, not only blocked Xiang Zhuang's killing opportunity, but also reported secret letters to Liu Bang overnight. And Xiang Bo is Xiang Yu's uncle, with such a relationship, Xiang Yu will not kill Zhang Liang, even if he wants to kill, Xiang Bo will also try to protect Zhang Liang's life.
In addition, although Zhang Liang was under Liu Bang's camp at that time, he and Liu Bang were not considered a monarch-vassal relationship, but a cooperative relationship. Zhang Liang was once the prime minister of Korea, and before the Chu and Han dynasties fought for hegemony, Zhang Liang was also considered to represent the power of the princes, but only later annexed to Liu Bang.
And here Xiang Yu wants to kill Liu Bang, it is impossible to attack his partner, the worst is to kill his courtiers, killing Zhang Liang is equivalent to offending the other side of the forces behind Zhang Liang, such a loss-making business, Fan Zeng will not let Xiang Yu do it.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the Hongmen banquet was carried out later, and Xiang Yu did not want to kill Liu Bang for a long time. If he wanted to kill, he would not accept the jade bi that Zhang Liang gave him, and if he wanted to kill, he would not let Liu Bang go to the toilet so easily. From beginning to end, the only person who wanted to kill Liu Bang may be Fan Zeng, but Xiang Yu's heart was too soft to listen to the words of the counselor Fan Zeng, and finally let the tiger return to the mountain, and finally died at the hands of Liu Bang.
And Xiang Yu didn't even want to kill Liu Bang, so how could he kill Zhang Liang? Readers, do you think I'm right?
