Especially in 205 BC, in the process of a defeat and escape, Liu Bang kicked his children off the carriage several times to save his life, which made Liu Bang's notoriety rise to the peak. Tiger poison never eats children, let alone gives birth to flesh and blood.
In my opinion, Liu Bang pushed his children out of the carriage, but as a father's greatest love for children, Liu Bang's behavior did not hurt the children, but really saved them.
Why do you say that? Let's take a look at the story background of this event.
In 207 BC, Chu Huaiwang and Xiong Xin called on the descendants of the six countries to rise up, carve up the State of Qin (Xiang Yu really had the final say) and change the king of Qin into a prostitute. Although Ziying is a puppet, he also says bloody. My grandfather can destroy you, and today I will destroy you again like my grandfather.
According to the call of Chu Huaiwang's grandson Xiong Xin (still called Chu Huaiwang) at that time, whoever entered the customs first was the king of Qin.
At that time, Xiang Yu, whose fighting capacity is hard to see, defeated Zhang Han, the general of the State of Qin, crazily with the legions of various countries in Julu. At this point, Liu bang successfully bypassed the giant deer and quietly arrived in Xianyang. After taking Ziying, he saw that the tide was gone, stopped resisting and surrendered in Kaesong.
At this time, it was less than 50 days since the Qin Empire returned to the State of Qin, so Liu Bang became the second person after Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu learned that Liu Bangxian had entered Xianyang, he flew into a rage and led the Chu Corps to Hong Men, ready to capture Liu Bang alive. Then came the famous banquet in the history of China-Hongmen Banquet.
One month after the banquet, Liu Bang withdrew from Xianyang and Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, becoming the Lord of China. According to the world pattern at that time, it was impossible for Xiang Yu to be emperor, and the descendants of the six countries would never bow down to Xiang Yu as emperor, so Xiang Yu chose to enfeoffment the vassal, and Xiang Yu was not invincible. At least at this time, he doesn't want to be enemies with all the princes. In this way, Xiang Yu divided the old state of Qin into four parts, and restored the mode of the Zhou Dynasty. Liu Bang sealed Hanwang, commanding Hanzhong and Bashu.
At the same time, Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Kun were named three kings of Qin, and three points were in Guanzhong, which actually blocked Liu's way out. What's even more disgusting is that Xiang Yu kept Liu Bang's dependents, Liu Taigong, Lv Zhi, Liu Ying and Princess Lv Yuan, in Pei County and made them hostages. With this double insurance, it is almost impossible for Liu Bang to compete with Xiang Yu for the world.
Obviously, Xiang Yu's move to restore the Warring States state is absolutely wrong, and Xiang Yu must pay the price for his retro decision. It was not Liu Bang who challenged him first, but Tian Rong, the prime minister who revived Qi.
Tian Rong is a member of the Qi royal family. He revived Qi and Chen Sheng during the Guangwu Uprising. However, before the world governors besieged Qin, Tian Rong was passive. When Xiang Liang attacked Zhang Han, he refused to send troops to help, which led to Xiang Liang's death. It was not until the Battle of the Julu that he slowly reached the battlefield, which made Xiang Yu feel sorry for him. Therefore, when the world was sealed, Xiang Yu didn't take a reason Tian Rong.
Tian Rong naturally bears a grudge against this. Shortly after Xiang Yu returned to Jiangsu, he directly killed the king set up by Xiang Yu in Qi State, occupied the whole territory of Qi State, and then set out to challenge Xiang Yu. Obviously, Tian Rong is no match for Xiang Yu. At the critical moment when Tian Rong could not support himself, Liu Bang gave him a hand.
In this way, Liu Bang kicked off the battle between Chu and Han.
Just as Xiang Yu was struggling against Qi, Liu Bang assembled more than 500,000 troops and easily captured Xiang Yu's lair, Cheng Peng. Xiang Yu learned that his lair had been terminated by the front line. He left the main force to continue attacking Qi, and led 30,000 elite troops to attack day and night. Liu bang was defeated and the bodies were everywhere.
Historical records? "Biography of Fan Guan" records that Xiang Yu arrived in Pengcheng and defeated the Han army. Hanwang was defeated, unfavorable and washed away. See Xiao Hui and Yuan Lu. Hanwang is in a hurry, the horse stops, and Lu is behind. He often abandoned his two sons, and babies often received them, but they were all carried on their backs. Xu Xing was covered with trees. Hanwang was furious, and there were more than ten people who wanted to behead the baby. The pawn had to take off, so he was led to the seal.
Liu bang fled in a panic, and at the same time sent people to Pei county urgently to try to rescue his family. But Xiang Yu beat him to it, and Liu Bang's wives, Lv Zhi and Liu Taigong, were caught by Xiang Yu. Only Liu Ying and Princess Luyuan escaped. They met Liu Bang on the way to escape, so they quickly got on the bus and fled together.
At this time, Xiang Yu's Chu Corps roared and chased all the way. Liu bang's guards rushed forward to stop him, but they were cut down by the fierce Chu people. Liu Bei saw something bad and kicked the child out of the carriage with one foot and one heart. At this time, Xia Houying, who was driving, watched two children fall off the carriage and could not bear to be poisoned by the Chu people. So he ventured to stop and carried them up again.
Liu Bang kicked his children out of the carriage many times, and Xia Houying saved them many times. Liu Bang was so angry that he wanted to kill Xia Houying. Fortunately, Liu Bangcai escaped smoothly when he met Lv Ze's army.
From then on, this incident became Liu Bang's black history. In order to escape, even one's own children can be sacrificed, but tiger poison still doesn't eat children. On the surface, Liu Bang is cruel, but in fact, it is a smart and witty performance. First of all, for the Chu pursuers at that time, their main target was Liu Bang, not Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan. For the Han Corps, Liu Bang is omnipresent. If these two children are caught by Xiang's corps and held hostage to Liu Bang, at least they can get a chance to live.
After all, as long as Liu Bang is still alive, even if the two children are captured, Xiang Yu won't really kill them, just like Xiang Yu has repeatedly threatened to cook Liu Taigong, but in the end he didn't do it, for the simple reason that Liu Bang is still alive.
But if Liu Bang is caught, things will be serious. Liu bang can't even keep himself. These two children have lost their hostage value, and they may even lose their hostages.
So at this critical moment, it seems that Liu Bang kicked the child out of the car, not only to save his own life, but also to protect the child's life. In the end, all three of them managed to escape, which was not just luck.
Of course, Xia Houying's practice is not necessarily wrong, after all, it is human nature!
