Why did general Pu disappear after he became famous in the first World War?

In the history of Chu and Han Dynasties, numerous famous generals emerged in the two camps of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and many famous generals took turns in Chu and Han Dynasties. For example, Han Xin and yingbu, who used to be Xiang Yu's subordinates, eventually joined Liu Bang and became the founding heroes of the Great Han Dynasty. The difference between them is that Han Xin has never been valued by Xiang Yu, and yingbu was Xiang Yu He is like a "right arm".

Among these famous generals, one is indeed the most special. His name is general PU. When Xiang Yu started to fight in the world, he was as famous as yingbu. The most famous example is that he made great contributions to Xiang Yu's victory in the battle of Julu. As we all know, Xiang Yu's battle of the great deer relies on his courage to break the bridge and sink the boat, which completely stimulates Xiang's fighting spirit and potential. After all, after Xiang Yu's breaking the bridge and sinking the boat, Xiang's army has only one way to defeat Zhang Han. If he doesn't win, he will die. It's a completely hopeless way of fighting. The most terrible enemy on the battlefield is not how powerful he is, but what he can win The courage to die together is the so-called "the soft is afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of the fateful".

However, it is difficult for Kongkong to defeat Zhang Han in the battle of Julu if he has courage. Therefore, Xiang Yu is able to defeat Zhang Han's 200000 Qin troops. In addition to his attitude of not being killed, Zhang Han's rear area is unstable and supplies are lost, which is also the reason for the failure of the battle of Julu, because the passive Qin army without food saw the initiative to throw food Xiang Jiajun, this kind of mentality is completely different.

Then, the people who destroyed Zhang Han's supply line for Xiang Yu were general yingbu and general PU. As pioneers, they led 20000 people to cross the Yellow River first and defeated Wang Li's troops, the most important support force of Zhang Han, which ensured Xiang Yu's invincibility in the frontal battlefield. Therefore, this victory was the victory of Xiang's army as a whole, and it was based on this achievement that yingbu was able to win He has become a famous front-line general in the world.

However, behind yingbu's fame, general Pu "disappeared". The last time he appeared in the annals of history, he joined hands with yingbu to kill 200000 Qin soldiers in disgrace, and then there was no record of him any more. However, through these few trace records of general Pu, we can see that Xiang Yu still highly valued and trusted him, so why did he completely kill him No news?

There have always been many explanations about this matter, but there has never been a final conclusion. It should be said that general Pu's identity is a mystery, and his destination is also a mystery. It seems that he is a fairly influential role in a literary work, which is suddenly forgotten by the author. Therefore, it is difficult for us to make a final conclusion about his future. However, in Lao Le's opinion, general Pu's name is very important It's not so complicated with identity. It's more inclined to the view that this person's surname is Pu and his name is general. The reason is very simple. Before the Han Dynasty, people's names were always relatively random, and there was no need for history books to avoid calling such a person "general". As for this point of view, we can give another example. In the process of Jing Ke's preparation for assassinating Qin, the dagger was made by Lady Xu, the master of sword casting. This lady Xu is not a "Lady surnamed Xu". According to the research of historians, his surname is lady Xu and he is a man.

Since Mrs. Xu can be a man's name, what's the big deal about general Pu?
