After Guangwu Uprising, Xiang Liang also responded to the Chu people's armed uprising. However, both Chen Sheng and Xiang Liang ended in failure. Xiang Yu inherited the burden of Xiang Liang and led the soldiers of the former Chu to fight against Hebei. Liu Bang led the peasant armed war in Henan. Finally, with the joint efforts of two people, the Qin Dynasty was broken. Then the two men fought for the world. As for why the noble Xiang Yu lost to the gangster Liu Bang, it is necessary to analyze the sexy degree of the two.
The charm of life experience is very different.
Liu Bang's victory over Xiang Yu often makes people feel strange and incredible. Because from the family background, group strength and personal charm, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are not the same. Many people think that how can this Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu? Xiang Yu is a noble and a hero; Liu bang is a poor man and a rogue. Xiang Yu's background is quite noble. His grandfather's name is Xiang Yan, and he is a famous Chu Xing. But by his father's generation, the family began to decline-Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang in his early years and could not escape Wuzhong, which is now Wuxian, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. But his reputation is ruined and he is still noble, unlike Liu Bang. Liu bang has no name and no words. His name is Liu Ji, which means Liu Xiao. Xiang Yu has a serious name, Ji Xiang, and another word, Xiang Yu, also known as Yu Zi.
Generally speaking, Xiang Yu's ability is still very strong, and he is very brave. During the Chu-Han War, there was a situation in which Liu Bang had an archer named Lou Fan. When the two armies confronted each other, Liu Bang let Lou Fan stand in front of the front line, and a man walked out of Xiang Yu's side, and Lou Fan shot him with an arrow. Another man came out, and an arrow on the roof killed him again, killing many soldiers of Xiang Yu again and again. Xiang Yu was furious and went out in person. When he came out, he stopped there and shouted at me. Loufan was terrified out of her wits, turned and ran into the barracks, and never dared to come out again. So Xiang Yu's personal charm is not much to say.
Therefore, in Qin Chu War, Xiang Yu was almost sure to win, and he was caught off guard. What would Liu Bang do? Liu bang's skill is still the four words that Sima Qian said: good wine and lust-it is his skill to like wine and lust. In the whole Qin Chu War, no ideal city was captured by Liu Bang, no plan was planned by Liu Bang, and no war was commanded by Liu Bang. Liu bang's skill is only one sentence-what can he do? Ask Sean, ask Chen Ping, ask, what should I do?
Liu bang
Character determines destiny
However, if we calmly make an analysis, we will find that Liu Bang's victory is justified. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have completely different personalities, and it is these differences that determine their success or failure and fate.
The first difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu is that Liu Bang is ambitious and Xiang Yu is short-sighted. This can be proved by their mentality in the face of victory. In October of the third year of Qin Ershi, Liu Bang invaded Guanzhong, and later Xiang Yu also entered Xianyang. They won the victory of overthrowing the Qin Dynasty. In the face of this victory, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu performed completely differently. Liu Bang didn't kill Zi Ying, took three chapters, didn't get a reward, Qiu didn't commit a crime, quit Qin king Palace, and took over the army. This is a great move, and the significance of this move is seen by Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng said to Xiang Yu that Wang Xianghe and Liu Bang should be reckoned with. As far as I know, Liu Bang was once a man who liked money, wine and meat and women when he was in Pei County. Now such people come to see the treasures of gold and silver in the palace of Qin, and there are countless beautiful women, and no mistakes have been made. He has such great restraint and great ambition. His ambition must be great. But Xiang Yu wouldn't listen. Liu Bang, what's so great about him? He is ambitious, so what?
How did Xiang Yu do it himself? Killing Ziying, burning the palace and slaughtering Xianyang ... One of the worst things that Xiang Yu did was to slaughter the ideal city every time he captured it. The record in the history books is four words: the city is nothing. In other words, after Xiang Yu captured a city, there would be no survivors in this city. It must be that even women and children were slaughtered, and Xiang Yu also burned the palace of the Qin Dynasty. This was unpopular, and Xiang Yu did it without thinking. Then someone came out to persuade Xiang Yu that Xianyang was the capital of emperors. If you want to be an emperor, you should make Xianyang your capital. However, by this time Qin Gong had been burned by Xiang Yu, and there was no place to live. Xiang Yu is bent on going home and returning to his hometown. So he said this sentence: "Being rich without returning is like a night outing." What is a night trip? Is to wear beautiful clothes and walk in the dark night. Who can see it? You should put on beautiful clothes and go back to your hometown. This is called returning home with clothes on-this is the origin of the idioms "night clothes" and "returning home with clothes on".
Then, let's look at their performance in the face of setbacks, which is the second difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. In the face of failure, Liu Bang was calm and calm, and Xiang Yu was violent and impetuous. One thing in the Chu-Han War was that when the two armies confronted each other, Xiang Yu couldn't attack Liu Bangjiu, so he set up a cauldron in front of the army, pushed Liu Bang's father Liu Taigong to the front, and then shouted, Liu Bang, if you don't surrender, I will put your father in the frying pan! What did Liu Bang say? He said slowly, ha ha, brother, don't forget, when the two of us were under Wang Huai, what was the agreement? We should be brothers. Since we are brothers, my father is your father. If you want to cook our father, don't forget to leave a bowl of broth for your brother to drink! Xiang Yu had no choice: he couldn't do it. In fact, Xiang Yu has made a very bad plan at this time: if he can't beat others, he will put their father in the pot and cook it. This is a rogue means, and Xiang Yu himself is a noble, and the noble uses rogue means. This is a bad plan, what's more, your opponent is a rogue. Can hooligans be dealt with by hooligans? So I think, at that time, this situation must be that Xiang Yu was full of cowardice, and Liu Bang was a smirked expression-I am a rogue and I am afraid of who-psychologically, you Xiang Yu did not defeat Liu Bang.
Of course, Xiang Yu's image is aesthetic, handsome, cool and beautiful, but it's useless! In the face of setbacks, Xiang Yu is impetuous, not calm, which can prove that Xiang Yu is not a good commander in chief.
The above is about doing things and then being a man. What's the difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in life? Liu Bang is generous and Xiang Yu is narrow-minded, which is their third difference. Although Liu Bang has no education, don't think he is a lout, but he is very generous, aggressive and willing to go out. Didn't Liu Bang become the curator of Surabaya Pavilion when he was young? At that time, he was assigned a task to escort a group of prisoners to a certain place. Liu bang walked with these people, one ran away carelessly, walking and walking, and the other ran away carelessly. On the way, Liu Bang counted and ran a few. I'm afraid the prisoner will run away when he arrives at his destination. What do you think Liu Bang should do? Liu bang prepared wine and meat to treat these prisoners to a big meal, then untied all the ropes that tied them with his sword and said, you just run now, and I will run. What was the result? Some people ran away, others didn't, and those who stayed said, let's follow you. This means that Liu Bang can throw caution to the wind. We say, "Leave caution out of the cloud nine" and "Leave caution out of the cloud nine". Those who achieve great things, there will be times when they can't get away.
At the last moment of the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang's army had arrived in Chu State, ready to fight against Xiang Yu. At this time, Han Xin, Peng Yue and Ying Bu are on hold. Liu bang agreed that they would camp together, but they just wouldn't go. At this time, Liu asked Sean, saying, Ovary, it seems that this world is not owned by anyone. I want to carve up the world after victory. Who do you think is more suitable? Sean said, one Peng Yue, one Ying Bu and one Han Xin. Peng Yue and Ying Bu used to vacillate between Chu and Han, but now they tend to Han. Han Xin was under your command, but now it is independent. If you are willing to give them the land, they will definitely come down to help you encircle Xiang Yu. Liu bang said, ok, ok, then agree with them. After the victory, I will give it to whom, who will give it to whom and give it to them. I don't care. As a result, these troops came, surrounded Xiang Yu and wiped out-this is Liu Bang's generosity.
What about Xiang Yu? He is very stingy. Han Xin said that Xiang Wang is such a mother-in-law. If one of our soldiers is injured, he will personally go to the hospital with a rice basket and hold your hand and gossip with tears. But we have the meritorious military service, and he wants to seal the rank, holding a seal in his hand, and grinding it until it becomes round, and no one will give it-this is the meanness of Xiang Yu. The fourth difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu is that Liu Bang is ruthless, while Xiang Yu is affectionate. Liu bang's heart is cruel. As we have said, in the process of escape, he threw his son and daughter out of the car three times, just trying to escape. Once someone around you suspects someone, he may be desperate to kill him. One thing happened to Liu Bang in his later years, that is, after he fell ill, he suddenly became suspicious of Fan Kuai. Supposedly, Fan Kuai is the least easily suspected. Fan Kuai is Lv Hou's brother-in-law, and his relationship with Liu Bang is called "shouldering the burden" in the words of northerners. And at the hongmen banquet, it was Fan Kuai who stood up and saved liu bang's life-even he doubted people like Fan Kuai. Liu Bang suddenly felt that Fan Kuai just wanted me to die, so he gave an order to Chen Ping: "Go to the army and behead me." -Chen Ping, you go to the army with my orders and immediately cut off Fan Kuai's head for me. This thing was not done in the end, because Liu Bang died later, and Chen Ping felt that this thing could not be done when he arrived in the Fan Kuai army. After all, Fan Kuai is Lv Hou's brother-in-law, and a hero, so he can be easily killed! But what does this mean? It shows that Liu Bang can really do it when he is ruthless.
On the contrary, Xiang Yu is just too affectionate. At the last moment of the Chu-Han War, surrounded by Liu Bang and others, Xiang Yu had no intention of fighting, so he sat in his military account and stopped thinking about how to carry out the next war. He is thinking about two things: one is his BMW, and the other is his beauty-his mother-in-law and his concubine. what should he do ？ So he lit a torch in the tent, set up a banquet, and invited Yu Ji out, drew his sword and danced, chanting: "If you pull out the mountain, you will not die. If you don't die, you will be helpless." What do you mean? Say light rain, light rain, what can I do with you? Xiang He shed tears, and his followers did not dare to look up. A general, a commander-in-chief and a bully, at the last moment of the war, he thought not of the world, war or career, but of BMW and beautiful women. It's so affectionate. This character of Xiang Yu won the infinite sympathy of later generations. Xiang Yu is so human that he is loved by girls. I'm afraid the girls at that time would say "marry Xiang Yu" when they heard the news.
This is a heroic era, a heroic era. Liu Bang is a hero, Xiang Yu is a hero, Han Xin is a hero, Sean, Chen Ping, Fan Kuai and others are also heroes. They are just different heroes; Xiang Yu is a real hero. What he shows is his real hero. When he shows it, he doesn't hide his scruples and doesn't consider success or failure. Therefore, in the historical tradition of "the winner is king and the loser is the enemy", Xiang still gets people's condolences and sympathy. Liu Bang is a hero created by the times. He followed the trend of the times, completed the historical mission entrusted to him by the times, and made himself a hero through continuous learning in the process.
