It is said that heroes create trends, but in fact, small people can also change the direction of history.For example: Xia Wuji, the medical officer under Qin Shihuang who hit Jing Ke with a medicine bag, the three Xu Gong retainers who assassinated Sun Ce, Yanmen Lieutenant Shi who leaked the Han army's plan in Mayi, especially the Southern Song soldiers who killed Meng Ge with a cannon in Diaoyu City.

Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo can be said to be a "negative example" during the "Chu-Han Struggle for Hegemony". Although he belonged to the Xiang clan and was deeply trusted by Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, he "turned his elbow outward" many times during the struggle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu for the world. Many people even blamed Xiang Bo for Xiang Yu's defeat.So, after Xiang Yu was eliminated, what was the ending of Xiang Bo?

Xiang Bo's real name was Xiang Dan, and he was born into the Xiang family, a noble family of the Chu state. Although historical records do not record his specific origin, he should be closely related to Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, and he was Xiang Liang's cousin.After Xiang Liang raised his army at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Bo went to follow him. Later Xiang Liang supported Xiong Xin, a clan member of Chu State, as King Chu Huai. Xiang Bo was appointed Zuo Yin by King Chu Huai.

But what is amazing is that although he is a major member of Xiang Yu's camp, he saved Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet and Liu Bang's father Liu Taigong at the Battle of Guangwu.As Liu Bang's benefactor, what is the final outcome of Xiang Bo?To put it simply, the ending was pretty good. He was granted the title of Marquis, but his surname was changed to Liu instead of Xiang.

After Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, Xiang Bo led the Xiang clan to surrender to Liu Bang. In order to win over people's hearts, Liu Bang pardoned the entire Xiang clan and gave them the surname Liu.So Xiang Bo changed his name to Liu Pan and was granted the title of Marquis of Sheyang. The fiefdom was located in the east of Sheyang Lake Town, Baoying County, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province today.However, there is no need to talk about the children's and in-laws matters that were promised during the Hongmen Banquet.

Xiang Bo is also the ancestor of the Tang family. Among Xiang Bo's descendants, there are those who take their ancestor's name as their surname, and they are called "Cang family".The people of the Mao clan are mainly distributed in today's Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, Taihang Mountain District, Pingding County, Yangquan City, and Daquti Township, Li County, Hebei Province.

In 201 BC, Liu Bang divided the meritorious officials for the third time. Xiang Bo, Zhang Liang, Xiao He and other thirteen people were on the same list and were officially granted the title of marquis, but the specific number of fiefdoms was not recorded.Although Xiang Bo was granted the title of marquis after returning to the Han Dynasty, he did not receive real power because he was a core member of Xiang Yu's camp. He only enjoyed the fiefdom and taxes as a marquis, and lived a comfortable life but stayed away from the government.He died in 192 BC at the age of more than 70 years old.

It is said that Xiang Yu garrisoned Xinfeng Hongmen with 400,000 troops, which was known as the "million-strong army".Liu Bang garrisoned Bashang with a strength of 100,000, which was known as "200,000" to the outside world.One side is sharpening its sword, full of murderous intent, and determined to win, while the other side is frightened, at a loss, and waiting to die.If Bo Xiang had not taken care of his friends, it is estimated that the history of China would have been rewritten in the future.

Xiang Yu's uncle, Xiang Bo, had a relationship with Zhang Liang. He recalled that when he went out to wander the world, he accidentally killed someone. From then on, he embarked on a long road to escape.When he fled to Xiapi, he met Zhang Liang, who was also hiding there. The two hit it off, and Xiang Bo settled in Zhang Liang's hut.

Zhang Liang saved Xiang Bo's life.The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring; the kindness of saving a life should be repaid with a life.Zhang Liang is currently working in Liu Bang's company. Xiang Yu is going to lead his army to destroy Liu Bang's barracks. How can Zhang Liang escape safely?

Thinking of this, Xiang Bo felt his blood surge. He rode overnight to Liu Bang's military camp, met with Zhang Liang privately, and told him all the truth: "Xiang Yu is coming tomorrow, so run away with me!"

Faced with the kind reminder from his old friend, Zhang Liang said: "No! Liu Bang is my Bole, I can't abandon him." As soon as he turned around, Zhang Liang told Liu Bang the news.
