What are the six wonders?

Chen Ping under Liu Bang has a saying called "six tricks".

This "six strokes" refers to: first, money is scattered; Second, the inferior banquet is waiting for Chu; Third, release female soldiers from Xingyangwei; Fourth, tiptoe to seal Wang Qi's letter; Fifth, please fake a dream; Sixth, solve the siege of Deng Bai.

1. Sanjinhang Fan Jian

In 204 BC, the Han army was surrounded by Xiang Yu's army in Xingyang, and the Chu army cut off the supplies of the Han army. The Han army had neither supplies nor reinforcements, and the situation was very difficult. Liu Bang wanted to make peace with Chu by ceding the territory west of Xingyang, but Xiang Yu refused to agree. Liu Bang asked Chen Ping. Chen Ping said: "Xiang Yu's loyal ministers are only Fan Zeng, Zhong Limei, You Qi and Zhou Yin. Your majesty, if you are willing to take out the gold, it will be effective to use double agents. Xiang Yu is suspicious by nature and easy to believe rumors. When he hears rumors, he will be suspicious and even attack each other. In this way, taking advantage of the civil strife in Chu and mobilizing troops to attack will destroy Chu. "

Liu Bang agreed to Chen Ping's plan and took out 40,000 Jin of gold for Chen Ping to use for free without permission.

Chen Ping sent troops, took gold out of the city, mixed with Chu camp, bought soldiers, spread rumors, and said that the generals had made great contributions to the war for many years, but now they can't crack the soil and seal the Hou, but they want to unite Han and destroy Chu, and so on.

Xiang Yu is a brave man, indecisive, indecisive, and always suspicious. He actually believed the rumors and regarded Zhong Limei and others as two-hearted generals. As a result, Xiang Yu's influence was greatly weakened. The leading core of Xiang Yu's army was affected.

2. A bad banquet is waiting for Chu.

After listening to rumors, Wang Xiang suspected that Fan Zeng and others had second thoughts, so he sent messengers to the Han army to find out the truth. Unexpectedly, this fell into Chen Ping's trap again.

Chen Ping ordered people to prepare the most sumptuous banquet. When he heard the arrival of Chu, he immediately spread it out. But when Chen Ping saw the Chu emissary, he pretended to be surprised and said to himself, "This is a mistake! I thought it was the messenger of my father Fan Zeng, but it turned out to be the messenger of King Xiang. " So, immediately ordered people to remove the rich banquet and entertain the ambassador Chu with shabby food. Chu returned to the village and reported it, so he was suspicious. Fan Zeng proposed to step up the attack and occupy Laiyang City, but Wang Xiang ignored it. Knowing that Wang Xiang doubted him, Fan Zeng said, "The overall situation in the world has been decided. Take care! I hope you can let me take this old bones back to the old countryside. " Fan Zeng left Wang Xiang with anxiety and died of gangrene on his back before he arrived in Cheng Peng.

After Fan Zeng's death, Xiang Yu knew this trick, but it was too late to regret it.

The female soldiers released Xing Yangwei.

Xiang Yu was trapped by Chen Ping's double agent, which made Fan Zeng very angry. Xiang Yu flew into a rage. In May 203 BC, Xiang Yu stormed Xingyang. At this time, it was too late for Han Xin's reinforcements, and Xingyang was already in jeopardy. The situation is very critical. Chen Ping decided to rescue Liu Bang from Xingyang City, enter the customs and retreat, leaving other generals to guard Xingyang, and then develop slowly. So Chen Ping gave Liu Bang a plan: "Please write a fake surrender letter to Bawang and ask him to meet at the East Gate. The overlord will definitely arrange his army outside the East Gate, and we will try our best to attract his guards at the west, north and south gates to the East Gate, so that the king can rush out from the West Gate. " Hanwang agreed. In a short time, Chen Ping led a general who looked like Hanwang to see Hanwang, saying that he would go out and pretend to be Hanwang to attract the enemy to concentrate his troops around the East Gate, and then Hanwang could break through the West Gate.

Before dawn the next day, the Han army opened the East Gate, and Chen Ping sent 2,000 women out of the East Gate in batches. As soon as the Chu soldiers in the south, west and north gate heard that there were all beautiful women outside the east gate, they rushed to the east gate. Suddenly, someone shouted "Hanwang is coming!" Everyone looked up and saw "Hanwang" sitting in the car, escorted by the guard of honor: slowly walking out of the east gate. Go straight to ChuYing near, overlord found that it was not Hanwang who came out by car. The real Hanwang, in the chaos of the East Gate, has rushed out of the West Gate, with Chen Ping, Sean, Fan Kuai and others fighting our way out and fleeing in the direction of Guanzhong.

4. Seal Han Xin to destroy Xiang Yu.

In 203 BC, 1 1 month, Han Xin, the general of the Han army, won in succession in Qi, and his military strength increased greatly. Liu bang was injured and stationed in Guangwu. Facing the Chu army, the two sides were at loggerheads. Han Xin took advantage of Liu Bang's defeat and sent messengers to ask Liu Bangli to make him a fake king (agent). Hearing this, Liu Bang flew into a rage and swore in front of Han Xin's emissary. "I have been trapped here for so long, and I am looking forward to him coming here to help me every day. Now, instead of helping me, I will stand on my own feet! " As soon as I scolded here, I suddenly felt kicked under the console table. I paused and shut up quickly.

It turns out that Chen Ping and Zhang Liangzheng are sitting beside Hanwang. They know that Han Xin is a generalist, armed to the teeth, and Liu Bang has no ability to stop him from becoming king. If this matter is not handled properly, once it becomes a mutiny, Han Xin will stand on its own as king, with Chu and Han as the three pillars, and the Han army will be the enemy again. It is even more difficult to predict who will win or lose in world affairs. So, Chen gave Liu Bang a toe kick under the console table and whispered to him, "Now that we are in adversity, how can we stop Han Xin from being king? It is better to push the boat with the current, treat him well, and let him be prepared, otherwise disaster will come soon! " Liu bang is also very clever, so he quickly changed his tune and said, "A gentleman can pacify a vassal, but if he wants to be a real king, why should he be a fake king!" So he was kind to him, sent Sean to Han Xin, and naturally named Han Xin King of Qi, so as to stabilize this very important force and avoid the division of the Han army. Thanks to Chen Ping reminding Liu Bang that Han Xin was named King of Qi, Han Xin was grateful from then on. No matter who persuaded him again, he could not bear to be ungrateful, and eventually led the army to attack Chu, which played a decisive role in Liu Bang's unification of the world.

Han Xin became the king of Qi and ascended to heaven. When he saw that Liu Bang valued him so much, he immediately sent his troops to save him. Under the blow of Han Xin, Xiang Yu couldn't hold on, so he joined Liu Bang and divided the world equally, with Chu in the east and Han in the west. In August, the two sides demarcated the "Chu River Han Boundary". In September, Chen Ping, with his keen insight as a strategist, saw that Xiang Yu was at the end of the road, so he said to Liu Bang, "Now we have occupied more than half of the world, and all the princes in the world have sincerely surrendered to us. On the contrary, the Chu army fought for years, exhausted, and ran out of food. This is a good opportunity for heaven to destroy Chu. We must take this opportunity to destroy Chu. If you don't seize the opportunity to attack, it will be like what people say,' raising tigers is a problem'! " Liu Bang accepted Chen Ping's suggestion and immediately sent troops to attack Xiang Yu. By February 65438 BC+202 BC, Xiang Yu's army was besieged on all sides, and the Han army ambushed on all sides, defeating Xiang Yu and forcing him to retreat to Wujiang River and commit suicide. Chen Ping designed Han Xin to be the King of Qi, thus killing Xiang Yu and enabling Liu Bang to complete the great cause of unifying the world. At this point, the Chu-Han War, which lasted nearly four years, ended.

5. Yunmeng captures Han Xin

In February 202 BC, Liu Bang ascended the throne, known as Emperor Gaozu in history. Han Xin was made king of Chu. But Gaozu always felt that Han Xin was too powerful, and there were several things that Han Xin did not handle properly, which made Gaozu unhappy. It happened that soon someone wrote to report the rebellion of Han Xin, the king of Chu. Liu bang asked the generals for advice on this matter. The generals said, "Send your troops quickly and bury this ungrateful son alive!" Gaozu knew that these were not good ideas, so he didn't reply.

At this point, Sean has an excuse to retire, only Chen Ping is still the most important counselor around Liu Bang. Liu bang asked Chen ping for advice. Chen ping refused to give an idea at first, until Liu bang repeatedly asked, he said, "I am going to send troops to crusade against him." What do you think? "

Chen Ping asked calmly, "At this time, someone wrote to report Han Xin's rebellion. Does anyone else know? "

Liu Bang said: "No one knows.

"Does Han Xin know about this?"

"I don't know."

Chen Ping looked down for a while and then asked, "Is your majesty's army stronger than Han Xin's?"

Liu Bang replied: "Not necessarily."

Chen Ping asked again, "Who among your majesty's generals can defeat Han Xin on the battlefield?"

Liu Bang replied, "No one can beat him."

Chen Ping said: "The strength of the army is not as good as that of Han Xin, and the general is no match for Han Xin. Now you have to send troops to fight Han Xin. " If there is a war. The result is hard to predict. I'm really worried about your majesty! "

Hearing this, Liu Bang was very anxious and quickly asked if there was any safe way. Chen Ping said: "In ancient times, the son of heaven often traveled around the country and met rulers from all over the country. There is a place in the south called Yunmengze. Your Majesty pretends to travel in Yunmengze and wants to meet various governors in Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou was in the western boundary of Chu, and Han Xin heard that the son of heaven was traveling and came to his territory again. Of course, he will come to see him. You can arrest him when he sees your majesty. In this way, there is no need to send troops, as long as a warrior is enough. "

Liu Bang acted as planned, and Han Xin met him on the way. Han Xin was trapped. Han Xin shouted: "The world is peaceful, I don't need it. Should I kill it?"

Gao Zu said, "You know what's wrong. Stop yelling. It's no use shouting! " Liu Bang made the samurai who had already ambushed Han Xin firmly bound and threw him into the prison car. However, Gaozu did not kill Han Xin, but named him Huaiyin Hou. However, Han Xin lost its support and could no longer do anything. Chen Ping's strategy avoided a war, eliminated the bane of splitting the separatist regime again, and maintained the unity and stability of the new dynasty.

6. Present a beautiful picture of Bai Dengwei.

Newly built in the Han dynasty, there is no time to appease the country's Great Wall. At this time, the Huns north of the Great Wall took the opportunity to go south. In the winter of 200 BC, Liu Bang led more than 200,000 troops to personally expedition. When Liu Bang marched north to Pingcheng (now northeast of Datong City, Shanxi Province), he was surrounded by 400,000 elite cavalry led by Xiongnu Khan in Deng Bai (now east of Datong City), and sent troops to intercept the backup of Han soldiers at various important intersections. Gaozu climbed the hill and looked around, only to see tarkan stationed in all directions.

It was cold at that time, and it rained and snowed for several days. High-impedance Liu Bang and his men were frozen stiff. After being besieged for three days, the food was almost finished, and the Han army was hungry and cold, and it was at stake. On the seventh day, Chen Ping suddenly had another coup. He saw that modu chanyu was very fond of the newly acquired E Shi (the queen of Khan) and was inseparable from him. This time I camped at the foot of the mountain. I often rode in and out with E Shi, smiling and whispering with deep love. So I thought, although modu chanyu can make a surprise attack, he can't help being confused by women and beautiful women, so I tried to get an idea from E Shi. He sent a special envoy down the mountain by fog. E Shi people heard that there was an emissary of the Han army, so they quietly went out of the tent, stepped back and summoned the Han envoy. Ambassador China presented a lot of gold and silver jewelry to E Shi, saying that it was given to E Shi by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also took out another painting, saying that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked E Shi to hand it over to Moduokhan.

After all, E Shi is a woman. Seeing the gold jewelry, she was dazzled and couldn't put it down, so she accepted it. When I opened the photo again, I saw a stunning beauty painted on it. I couldn't help being jealous and asked, "What is this beauty map for?"

Ambassador China, pretending to be pious, replied: "Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was surrounded by Khan and was very willing to call a truce and make peace. So I give you the gold and silver jewelry, and then ask you to intercede with Khan on his behalf, but I'm afraid Khan won't agree, so I'm going to dedicate the first beauty in the country to Khan. Because the beauty is not in the army now, I will present her portrait first. "

E Shi said angrily: "This is unnecessary, take it back quickly!"

Ambassador China said: "Emperor Xian of Han also felt that giving Khan a beauty would take away Khan's love for you. But things are helpless; That's it. If you can bypass us, then of course we won't dedicate the beauty to Khan, and we would rather send you more gold and silver jewelry. " E Shi said: "Please go back and tell Han Di, don't worry."

Say that finish, after returning the painting to the messenger, the messenger went back.

E Shi thought that if Emperor Xian could not break through, he would dedicate the beauty to Khan, and then I was left out in the cold. So, she went back to the back camp and said to Shan Yu, "The army got news that hundreds of thousands of troops came to the rescue in the Han Dynasty, but I'm afraid it will arrive tomorrow." Khan asked, "Is there such a thing?"

E Shi replied: "Don't push each other too hard. Now that the emperor of the Han Dynasty is trapped in the mountains, how can the Han people stop here? " Naturally, they will try their best to save each other. Even if we defeat the Han people and seize their city, we may not be able to live permanently, because it is not acclimatized. If we can't destroy Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, when reinforcements arrive, we will be attacked from inside and outside, so we can't enjoy happiness. "

Speaking of which, E Shi burst into tears. Khan didn't know what to do at the moment, so he asked, "What should I do?"

E Shi said, "Emperor Han was besieged for seven days, and no one in the army panicked. There must be God to help him. Although there is danger, he will be safe in the end. Why do you go against your destiny and have to destroy him? It is better to let him live, lest any disaster befall us in the future. " Khan track, but again afraid to make E Shi unhappy, so the next day, ordered to withdraw the siege. Chen Ping used this coup to let the Huns retreat, Liu Bang escaped from the tight encirclement, and a catastrophe disappeared invisibly.

Fourth, seek the country, seek self-prosperity and national security.

Chen Ping is not only good at managing state affairs, but also good at managing himself. He was thoughtful and cautious, so he didn't suffer great setbacks at various critical moments.

After Han Xin was captured, he was appointed as the Minister of Housing. But he refused, saying, "This is not my credit." Gaozu said, "I defeated the enemy with your strategy. Isn't this a credit? " Chen Ping said, "Without Wei's foolishness, where would we be today?" Gaozu praised him and said, "People like you can be said to have never forgotten their roots!" Therefore, I appreciate interest and ignorance.

The following things can fully explain how Chen Ping is good at protecting himself.

One is to save Fan Kuai with wit. In BC 195, the high-impedance Liu Bang returned from defeating the rebel Ying Bu and fell ill after a traumatic attack. No sooner had I returned to Chang 'an than I heard that Liu Xun, the prince of Yan, had defected, so I sent Fan Kuai as the prime minister to make a crusade. After Fan Kuai left, someone said to Gaozu, "Fan Kuai and Lv Hou are in cahoots and want to wait until the emperor is 100 years old. The emperor cannot but be vigilant. " Gaozu has long been dissatisfied with Lv Hou's interference in state affairs. Now I hear that Lv Hou colluded with her brother-in-law Fan Kuai, and I immediately feel that the situation is serious. He decided to change his position and discuss the matter with Chen Ping. Finally, he took Chen Ping's advice, sent a letter to Fan Kuai in the name of Chen Ping, and secretly took General Zhou Bo to the car. When they arrived at the barracks, they announced that they would cut Fan Kuai and switch to frequency.

High-impedance asked Chen Ping to bring Fan Kuai's head for him to examine as soon as possible. Chen Ping and Zhou Bo set out at once, carefully combining them while walking on the road. Chen Ping said, "Fan Kuai is an old subordinate of the emperor. He works very hard. In addition, he is Lv Hou's brother-in-law, so to speak, he is a royal relative and a noble gentleman. At the moment, the emperor was angry. If he regrets it, what shall we do? Besides, the emperor is so ill, and Fan Kuai is Lv Hou's brother-in-law. The two sisters will inevitably gossip around the emperor and will inevitably blame us both. "

Zhou Bo had no idea at the moment, so he asked, "Don't let Fan Kuai go?" Chen Ping said, "We can't let him go. We might as well tie him to a prison car and send him to Chang' an, or let the emperor decide for himself. " Zhou Bo also thinks this is a good idea. Before arriving at the military camp in Fan Kuai, Chen Ping ordered people to build a high platform as a place to pass orders, and also sent people to hold festivals (a symbol) to call Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai learned that Chen Ping, a civilian, was the only one coming. He thought it was just to convey the usual letters and didn't think much. He immediately rode alone to get the imperial edict.

Unexpectedly, the frequency of the military commander suddenly appeared behind the stage, and Fan Kuai was about to be arrested and nailed into the prison car. Frequency immediately rushed to Zhong Jun tent again to escort the van back to Chang 'an instead of Fan Kuai and Chen Ping. On the way, Chen Ping suddenly heard that Liu Bang was dead. He thinks it's too bad that Lv Hou must preside over the political affairs of North Korea now. The only good news is that, fortunately, Fan Kuai was not beheaded before, and he was able to explain to Lv Hou. But even so, I'm afraid of sleeping. Someone will speak ill of Lv Hou in front of him. I have to go to Chang 'an first and make myself clear. He immediately rode to Chang 'an, where he met an envoy and sent him to Xingyang.

So, he made another plan, stumbled into the palace, knelt before the tomb of Emperor Gaozu, burst into tears, and took the opportunity to make a prelude to the tomb to explain the situation, crying and saying, "You asked me to kill Fan Kuai on the spot, but I dare not dispose of the minister easily. I have escorted Fan Kuai back today. " This is obviously addressed to the living, and it is a tribute to Lv Hou. The Lv Hou sisters were relieved to hear that Fan Kuai was not dead. Looking at Chen Ping's tearful appearance, Chen Ping was relieved. Lv Hou said sadly, "You have worked very hard. You'd better go back to rest first! " Chen Ping insisted on staying in Wei Palace. He was afraid that someone would speak ill of him as soon as he left. Seeing that he was sincere, Lv Hou appointed him as a doctor. Fan Kuai was also pardoned and the city was restored. Chen Ping took the opportunity to request to stay in Chang 'an to assist the new emperor. Chen Ping thus avoided a catastrophe. Saved himself.

The second is to punish Lu Anlu. In the sixth year of Emperor Xiaohui (before 189), due to the death of Prime Minister Cao Can, the court was divided into left and right prime ministers, Prince Anguo's tomb was the right prime minister, Chen Ping was the left prime minister, Hui Di died of filial piety, and Lv Hou was authoritarian, so he wanted to make Zhu Lu king. The grave firmly opposed it, but Chen Ping agreed. The tomb was dissatisfied with Chen Ping and blamed Chen Ping. Chen Ping said, "Don't be angry. To be honest, I really can't compare with you. " But when it comes to saving the country and the people and helping Liu, I'm afraid you can't compare with me. "Lv Hou was very dissatisfied with what the tomb did, so he managed to cancel the position of the right prime minister of the tomb and promote Chen Ping to the right prime minister.

Chen Ping is the right-wing prime minister, while another official thinks he is the left-wing prime minister. Appreciating his food, he was favored by Lv Hou and relied on this situation to gain power. Chen Ping can't cure anything. She indulges in debauchery all day. Lu has always been dissatisfied with Chen Pingmou's praise of Fan Kuai, and repeatedly said, "He is the right prime minister, and he is not competent at all. He only drinks and plays with women. " After hearing this statement, Chen Ping's alcohol consumption and pleasure are increasing. When Lv Hou learned what Chen Ping had done, he was ecstatic. He called Lu He and said to his face, "As the saying goes, women and children should not listen, but it depends on how you treat me. Don't be afraid of Lu's slander. "Empress Lu made her relatives king. Chen Ping pretends to obey this matter, but in fact he is always thinking about how to punish Lu An and Herry Liu. Dr. Tazhong Lu Jia said to him: "The world is safe and proud; The world is dangerous and arrogant. " Persuading him to make friends with Zhou Bo, Chen Ping listened to Liu Jia's plan. First, he celebrated Zhou Bo's birthday with 500 gold, then he prepared wine and vegetables, drank with Zhou Bo, and lost his heart. Zhou Bo also gives back peaches and plums. When Lv Hou died, Zhu Lu was ready to move. Collusion with Qiu finally destroyed Lu, ushered in a generation of kings, that is, Liu Bang's fifth son, and later Emperor China. Chen Ping is the main planner of this matter. Shen Shi was relieved from his post as prime minister.

The third is about phase pre-capture. After Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne, he believed that Qiu personally led the troops to destroy the Lushi clan. Chen Ping wanted to cede the rights of the Prime Minister to Zhou Bo, so he retired on the pretext of being ill. Emperor Xiaowen just acceded to the throne, thinking that Chen Ping had a strange disease, he went to inquire about his situation. Chen Ping said: "During the reign of Emperor Gaozu, Zhou Bo's contribution was not as good as my Chen Ping's. When we destroyed the Lushi family, my contribution was not as good as that of frequency. I am willing to give Zhou Bo a suitable position as prime minister. " So Emperor Xiaowen appointed Hou Zhoubo as the right prime minister, ranking first; Chen Ping was transferred to the left-wing prime minister, ranking second. Chen Ping was rewarded with gold and gold, and 3,000 food cities were closed down.

After a while, Emperor Xiaowen gradually realized that he was familiar with state affairs. When he was received by ministers, he asked Zhou Bo, the right-hand prime minister, "How many cases were decided in China a year?" Zhou Bo apologized and said, "I don't know." Emperor Xiaowen asked again, "What is the annual income from money and grain expenditure in China?" Zhou Bo apologized that he didn't know, was sweating like a pig, and was ashamed to answer. So the emperor asked Chen Ping, the left prime minister. Chen Ping said: "People in power." The emperor said, "Who's in charge?" Chen Ping said: "If your Majesty asks for a verdict, you can ask Ting Wei; If you ask about the income and expenditure of money and grain, you can ask about the internal history of treating millet. " The emperor said, "someone cares, what do you care?" Chen Ping apologized and said, "I'm really afraid of you! Your majesty didn't know that my intelligence was inferior, which made me reluctantly become prime minister. The post of prime minister assists the emperor to regulate yin and yang, adapt to the four seasons, educate all things in time, comfort the four foreign princes externally, care for and unite the people internally, and make the officials and doctors perform their duties. " Emperor xiaowen praised him for his good answer. Zhou Bo, the right-wing prime minister, was deeply ashamed. After retiring from North Korea, he complained to Chen Ping, "Why don't you teach me to answer these words in peacetime!" " Chen Pingxiao said, "You are in a good position. Don't you know the responsibilities of the Prime Minister? If your majesty asks about the number of thieves in Chang' an, do you have to make up the number to answer? " At this time, Hou Zhoubo knew that his talent was far behind. After a period of time, Zhou Botuo, the marquis of Jiang, requested to be removed from the post of right prime minister, and Chen Ping took over.
