The first point of strategy: the pursuit of practicality. He talked about not sitting or gesturing. No matter how to solve personal problems or attack the enemy, he always takes practicality as the principle. In the process of helping Liu Bang conquer the world, some of his pragmatic and effective strategies really played an important role. Sean is the chief counselor of Liu Bang, who is good at analyzing the overall situation and strategizing. Chen Ping often hides behind Sean and does some data collection work. His advantage lies not in the confrontation between the two armies, but outside the battlefield. He is good at using money and women to solve the problem of winning or losing outside the battlefield. Even many strategies are directed at the enemy's weakness, with low cost and strong practicability.
Ping Cheng
Give an example to prove it. In the first 204 years, Chu and Han were at loggerheads, and Han was at a disadvantage. Chen Pingxian countered by asking Liu Bang to pay for a conspiracy in Xiang Yu's army, thus alienating the upper and lower relations. Liu Bang took out 40,000 Jin of gold and gave it to Chen Ping. He doesn't do budget, audit or audit, and let Chen Ping handle it. The effect of alienation was outstanding, and Xiang Yu also had doubts about Fan Zeng, the counselor. He no longer trusted Zhong Limei, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the combat effectiveness of the Chu army was seriously damaged. In April of the same year, Xiang Yu besieged Liu Bang in Xingyang City, and the situation was extremely critical. Chen Ping organized more than 2,000 women to surrender from the East Gate. When the Chu army came to watch the excitement, Chen Ping led Liu Bang to escape from the West Gate every day. The siege of Deng Bai was also after Liu Bang was besieged by Xiongnu military forces for seven days and seven nights. Chen Ping's plan was adopted. In foggy days, he sent people down the mountain to present a lot of gold and silver jewelry to E Shi, the wife of Hun Khan. E Shi persuaded Khan to retreat, saying that reinforcements from the Han army were coming, so that Liu Bangcai could get out of trouble.
The second strategy is to be good at escaping. He has the ability to foresee the existence of danger and the means to resolve the crisis, and it has taken effect many times. At the beginning of joining the army, he worked under Wang Weizhen, Xiang and Hanwang Liu Bang. Later, after the establishment of the Han regime, it experienced four periods: Gao, Ying, Wen. He has insight into the world, is agile, has escaped from danger many times, and has been promoted many times because of his intelligence. At first, I took refuge in Wang Wei and offered a plan, but I was dismissed by others and framed by a villain. He ran away at once. After he defected to Xiang Yu, he was ordered to put down a rebellion, but the rebel territory was occupied by others. Xiang Yu was very angry about this and decided to kill Chen Ping. Thanks to Chen Ping's keen sense of smell, he smelled a dangerous smell and ran away before Xiang Yu set out.
In fact, with his intelligence, he can be safe even if he doesn't desert. It's just that Chen Ping saw the poor political and ecological environment in these two places. These two bosses are actually very mediocre and can't make great achievements. Like a shrewd messenger, he carefully chose his boss and finally chose Liu Bang. In Liu Bang's place, he is valued and has a great sense of accomplishment. Liu Bang is a chivalrous man who hates Confucian scholars and doesn't like literati, so Chen Ping won't talk about culture with him, nor will he talk about the words of a hundred schools of thought. Liu bang often loses battles. When he was anxious, Chen Ping offered a plan, which often helped Liu Bang.
After Liu Bang's death, Lv Zhi came to power. This woman is ambitious and ruthless. She wants to dominate power, but she is worried that ministers will not buy it. Chen Ping can definitely see through these clues and understand the dangers. He decided to avoid the blame and compromise first. He ignored politics and drank and had fun every day. Someone told Lv Hou about Chen Ping. Lv Hou was very happy and praised Chen Ping for being sensible. For the sake of safety, Chen Ping sometimes deliberately abandons his principles, plays dumb, and even openly admits his past misconduct. In short, through various means, he survived safely with little risk.
The third strategy is to do things moderately. He doesn't talk much, he doesn't do anything out of line, and he is good at leaving himself a way out. The most important feature of Chen Ping's being an official is to grasp the temperature and know when to do and what to say. Whenever there is a problem, he is good at kicking the ball. If he can't get rid of it, he will give it to the boss. I really can't hand it over, just leave such a small hand. In a word, he is a master of Tai Chi, good at tossing and turning, dodging open flames and stabbing people in the back. 20 1 ago, Liu Bang received a letter of complaint, saying that Han Xin was going to rebel, and Chen Ping's men were fighting for a duel with Han Xin.
Chen Ping knew that Han Xin had made too much contribution, and Liu Bang wouldn't kill him. The rise is obviously absurd and not reliable at all. Therefore, Chen Ping suggested that Liu Bang go to Yunmengze, where he would meet the governors and seize Han Xin. This idea is obviously very good. With this tactic, Liu Bangyong captured Han Xin alive as easy as blowing off dust. Sure enough, as Chen Ping expected, Liu Bang did not embarrass Han Xin and named him Huaiyin Hou.
On another occasion, Fan Kuai was charged with treason. At that time, Fan Kuai was leading troops outside, and Liu ordered him to be arrested and executed on the spot. Chen Ping knew that Fan Kuai was an old friend of the emperor and the queen's brother-in-law. If he kills him, he will definitely get into trouble in the future. So I left a hand and decided to bring this person back to Liu Bang. The meaning is clear, that is, it is up to you to decide whether to kill or not, and it is up to you to decide. As a result, Liu Bang died of illness before he was sent to Beijing. Lv Hou immediately ordered the release of Fan Kuai and reinstated him.
When Lv Hou came to power, he wanted his brother and nephew to be crowned king. She knew that Liu Bang had made a common agreement with the ministers and made an oath: no one can be crowned king unless it is Liu, and no one can be crowned Hou unless there is meritorious military service. Lv Hou's idea is hard to realize, but she will do everything she can. She decided to listen to opinions from all sides and do the work alone. At that time, there were left and right prime ministers in the court, and the right prime minister was the most important. Lu Hou first went to the tomb of the right prime minister, and the tomb thought it was absurd, sheer nonsense and absolutely impossible. Lv Hou went to find Chen Ping, the left prime minister. Chen Ping's opinion proved to be completely agreed, and Lv Hou did not provide the reasons for making Zhu Lu king. Lv Hou is certainly very happy. She immediately adjusted the personnel arrangement of the imperial court, transferred the tomb to a vacant position with no real power, and appointed Chen Ping as the right prime minister.
After Lv Hou's death, Wendi reigned. Chen Ping and Emperor Wendi are not familiar with it, and feel that it is not safe enough. He proposed that Zhou Bo be the right-leaning prime minister, and he himself became the left-leaning prime minister. He knows very well that Zhou Bo has no culture and can't be a suitable prime minister. Later, when Deng Wendi asked about the trial of the case and the income of money and food, Zhou Bo could not answer. If you ask Chen Ping again, Chen Ping will say that these two things are in charge, and you will know when you ask. Emperor Wen asked him, "What do you do as a prime minister?"
Chen Ping said: The prime minister assisted the emperor, managed Yin and Yang, suppressed the four foreigners, got close to the people, and urged officials to perform their duties.
Wendi Deng thinks this answer is very clever. Zhou Bo often feels embarrassed, but he knows that he is too ignorant to study, so he has to apply for retirement. Chen Ping once again became the only prime minister.
Chen Ping is both clever and lucky. No matter how complicated things are, he cuts them off and makes the key points relatively simple. It seems easy to stab someone in the back all your life, and sometimes you need to be careful. In fact, Chen Ping really can't live easily.
Liu bang, a villain, has the talent of an emperor. The key is to know people and be good at their duties. Liu Bang appreciates Chen Ping very much, but he also has many opinions. Before he died, Liu Bang made two comments on Chen Ping: First, this man was a little too clever; Second, you can only be a deputy, not a leader.
