At the age of 70, Fan Zeng, the main counselor of Chu State in the Chu-Han period, assisted Xiang's family and suggested that Xiang Liang marry Xiong Xin, the descendant of Chu King, as Chu Huaiwang, which eventually made the forces of Chu State the strongest military group at that time.
It can be said that Sean and Fan Zeng represent the two strongest think tanks in the Chu-Han camp. Sean finally succeeded in helping Liu Bang to establish the Han Dynasty, and he himself became a celebrity through the ages. Fan Zeng, on the other hand, fell into Chen Ping's deviant plan, fell out with Xiang Yu's monarch and minister, and finally died with regret.
Both of them are counselors, and Fan Zeng belongs to Xiang's field from the beginning. He was loyal and honored as the "father of the country" by Xiang Yu. Zhang Liangze followed Liu Bang halfway and left Liu Bang several times. On the relationship, the relationship between Sean and Liu Bang is certainly not as good as that between Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu, but why are their endings completely different?
To answer this question, we have to analyze it from two aspects.
Liu bang and Xiang Yu
Both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are ambitious people, and both once said that they would replace Qin Shihuang. The difference is that Liu Bang is from the grass roots, while Xiang Yu is from the nobility. This also led to two completely different ways of doing things.
Liu bang was born at the grassroots level and knew that to achieve the ultimate goal, he must rely on the strength of all. Therefore, we can see that Liu Bang always discusses things with people around him, asking others' opinions and letting others give full play to their subjective initiative. At the same time, he was born at the grass-roots level and had nothing, so he never spared the reward. This also makes Liu Bang a representative figure in the history of advice.
Xiang Yu was born in a famous family and had his own pride and conceit in his bones. If he respects people, he will treat them as brothers; If he looks down on people, he will abandon them like dirt. Han Xin is a good example.
Xiang Yu himself is a master of war. In his eyes, everyone else is his foil. He advocates force and believes that force can solve all problems. Therefore, in Xiang Yu's lifetime campaign, there were few defeats, but the strength of Chu became weaker and weaker, and his generals jumped ship because they were not recognized for a long time, which eventually led to failure.
It is precisely because of completely different personalities that the ending is different. At the same time, Sean and Fan Zeng, as the top advisers of the two men, had different endings.
Sean and Fan Zeng.
Sean was originally a North Korean aristocrat and was unknown in his early years. After the demise of South Korea, Sean's greatest wish was to restore South Korea, so he first chose to assassinate Qin Shihuang. After the assassination failed, he met a mysterious old man who was later called Huang Shigong and gave him a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War. From then on, Sean began his legendary life.
After the Guangwu Chen Sheng Uprising, the nobles of the six countries rose up in succession in an attempt to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Sean also chose to assist Hanwangcheng at this time, hoping to restore South Korea. But unfortunately, it didn't play much role.
Sean and Liu Bang can be said to hit it off. Although proficient in the art of war, but proficient in theory, it seems that the actual operation is somewhat inadequate, so I taught what I learned to Liu Bang. Liu bang's comprehension ability is also very strong, and he will soon understand the essence. Therefore, Sean is actually Liu Bang's teacher.
Even though Sean taught Liu Bang a lot, he also contributed a lot of tricks to Liu Bang, but in his heart, Liu Bang was a monarch and he was a minister, and Sean never dared to cross this relationship. For example, when the Han army first entered Xianyang, Liu Bang was addicted to Xianyang's wealth. Sean knew it was wrong, but he didn't dissuade him directly. Until Fan Kuai and others persuaded, Zhang Cai spoke and asked Liu Bang to follow the advice of Fan Kuai and others.
This is the cleverness of Sean. His identity is different from that of Fan Kuai and others. Fan Kuai and others followed Liu Bang from the beginning, and he joined later, and the relationship between monarch and minister never crossed.
Besides, Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng originally took refuge in Xiang Liang, and Xiang Liang attached great importance to his talent. Before his death, Xiang Liang also asked Xiang Yu to worship Fan Zeng as his father.
After Xiang Liang's death, Fan Zeng has been assisting Xiang Yu as his father. However, their relationship actually made Xiang Yu very unhappy. For example, at the hongmen banquet, xiang yu didn't kill liu bang. At this time, Fan Zeng lost his temper and said, "The vertical axis is not enough!"
In ancient times, it was disrespectful to walk upright, which is now the smelly boy. Fan Zeng acted like an elder of Xiang Yu. This is a problem. Xiang Yu is a gentleman and was scolded in public. The taste in his heart can be imagined, what's more, Xiang Yu is an extremely proud person.
In history, there are many people called the same father, such as Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong of Qi Huangong, and Zhuge Liang's auspicious symbol. But neither Guan Zhong nor Zhuge Liang has forgotten that there is still a relationship between them and the king.
The relationship between Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu is a bit like Zhou Yu and Sun Quan. They all had a good relationship with the last monarch and helped the next monarch after their death. But Zhou Yu knew how to surrender to Sun Quan in time. It's a pity that Fan Zeng doesn't understand.
Chen Ping alienates the relationship between Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu, which is not brilliant. It happened that the two of them fell into the trap, indicating that there had been a rift between them, and Xiang Yu was just a logical conclusion.
Fan Zeng ended in tragedy because of Xiang Yu and his own reasons. Therefore, it is quite reasonable for Yi Zhongtian to say that Fan Zeng has high IQ, low EQ and low adversity quotient.
Fan Zeng didn't straighten his position, which eventually led to the discord between him and Xiang Yu, but Sean knew it well. Therefore, even in the end, Liu Bang trusted Sean and became one of the few heroes who died a fair death.
Just like today, two close friends work in the same company, which belongs to the superior-subordinate relationship. Then work and private life must be separated, and the higher and lower levels of work need to obey the arrangement of superiors. If the two are inseparable, the end result is that you are unhappy at work and may not even have friends in the end.
