As can be seen from historical records, how to write history really does not depend on the outcome, but on who wrote it and what attitude the writer has. Historical Records written by Tai Shigong is undoubtedly a great creation in literature and a great success in history, so it is called "Historical Records" by later generations. Historians sing a swan song, Li Sao has no rhyme? . The content of Historical Records basically conforms to the facts, but he greatly changed the image of historical figures by modifying the structure of the content.
In Historical Records of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, all the defeats of Liu Bang's life are clearly recorded, while the victories of Liu Bang's crushing defeat of Xiongnu and surprise attack on Guanzhong are recorded in other people's biographies by Sima Qian, which gives the impression that Liu Bang fought too many wars. Moreover, Sima Qian also recorded Liu Bang's erotic news and wrote Liu Bang? For the curator of Surabaya Pavilion, the officials of the imperial court are full of abuse, good wine and lewd. ? Therefore, the overall impression is that Liu Bang is not good at fighting, and his morality is corrupt and he is old. He's just a nasty old man.
But is this really the case? According to historical records, Liu Bang once asked Han Xin how many soldiers and horses he could take, so there was a classic dialogue. Q:? If I can put geometry? ? Letter:? Your majesty can only transfer100000. ? Shang Yue:? Where's the son? ? Say: The more ministers, the better. This dialogue made many people think that Han Xin was saying that Liu Bang could not lead troops, but it was totally misunderstood. How many people in history can lead a hundred thousand troops? Han Xin means that Liu Bang can't compare with him, but what about him? Chilled? Ah!
Of course, in fact, the history books also recorded the glorious side of Liu Bang, although the background was that Liu Bang was defeated by thousands of Xiang Yu with more than 500,000 troops and finally fled with a dozen people. The thing is, after Xiang Yu enfeoffed the vassal, he claimed to be the overlord of Chu, but the vassals in the world were very dissatisfied with Xiang Yu's enfeoffment. Qi in Shandong began to oppose Xiang Yu's rule, and Xiang Yu put all his strength into the struggle to suppress Qi.
Because of Xiang Yu's bad temper of killing the city and implicating the innocent, Xiang Yu caused public anger in Shandong, reduced a suppression to a people's war of the Shandong people and fell into the endless resistance of the Shandong people. As an excellent politician, Liu Bang can't beat Xiang Yu every time, but once he has the opportunity to rely on the strong and bully the weak, he will never let go. So Liu Bang took more than 500,000 troops and directly occupied Cheng Peng, Xiang Yu's lair.
Xiang Yu heard the news. Great, Liu Ji is the most slutty guy, and my poor concubine is still in Pengcheng! ? So he killed Cheng Peng with thousands of elite cavalry. Liu bang's biggest shortcoming is that he was particularly rough when fighting with Xiang Yu. As soon as he occupied Cheng Peng, he got carried away, went to Alakazam Huri, ate, drank and had fun with his men in the city, and then it was a tragedy. Hundreds of thousands of troops were killed by Xiang Yu. Kill pigs and dogs? Usually a clean kill. Liu Bang's wife, children and parents were taken away by Xiang Yu.
Fortunately, Liu Bang ran fast, escaped by himself, and confronted Xiang Yu at the height of the city. Although Xiang Yu was powerful, he did not reach the point where he could directly attack Liu Bang. Anxious Xiang Yu wanted to end the war quickly, so he shouted to Liu Bang at the gate. People who are a few years old in the world are willing to fight to the death with Hanwang, without suffering the people and their descendants. ?
It means: the world has been at war, because the hostility between us has not been eliminated. Now I want to fight you. Let's settle our hostility by ourselves, and don't drag the whole world into the whirlpool of this war. It should be said that Xiang Yu's original intention of putting forward this idea is quite good. After all, it is to reduce the disaster in the world. That's a good idea? Renyi? But it's naive.
We really went to fight Xiang Yu with Liu Bang and were beheaded by Xiang Yu, so will everyone surrender to him because of this? Don't forget, there are not only Hanwang at this time, but also a lot of kings such as Wang Wei, Wang Wei, Wang Jiu Jiang and so on! Without Liu Bang in the world, Zhang Bang and Li Bang will still appear, because under the system of enfeoffment, everyone wants to be the best in the world and can't get long-term stability.
Liu Bang and his advisers certainly thought of this layer. Liu Bang is a man of great political wisdom. How can he challenge Xiang Yu, who was unprecedented before his fifties? But Xiang Yu said that for the sake of the world, if we want to fight with him, we should also find a suitable reason for opposition. However, this can not beat Liu Bang. His next eight words made Xiang Yu helpless and became the mantra of modern people.
I saw Liu Bang's arrogance saying:? I would rather fight for wisdom than strength. ? I, Liu Bang, am a wise man. Why should I compete with such a reckless person as you? The back of this sentence has been developed into a scholar's mantra by later generations, called? A gentleman talks but doesn't do it? , specially used to laugh at those simple-minded people with developed limbs.
