Why did Liu Bang win the hegemony between Chu and Han?
Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, was a rich man. He was born in a humble place, so his family didn't have a name. His father was called Liu Taigong, and he didn't have a name himself. According to the ranking, he was named Liu Ji. The name Liu Bang was given to him after he became Hanwang, which means the country, taking the country as its name, which means that he is the master of the country, and most people dare not name it.
Liu Bang was open-minded and generous since he was a child, and he disdained farming. Therefore, in the eyes of his clients, it was inevitable that he would be idle and idle. When he was older, he tried to be a civil servant and became the director of the pavilion in Surabaya, that is, a petty official at the grass-roots level in the Qin Dynasty. Although his position was low, he was above the top, and no one looked down on him. He was particularly good at wine and lewd.
He went to Xianyang, the capital, on business, and saw the ostentation and extravagance of Qin Shihuang, and he was very envious. Later, he was responsible for escorting a group of prisoners to serve in Lishan Mountain, and someone escaped on the way. He simply let everyone else go and fled outside himself, which shows his heroic spirit.
In the first year of Qin Ershi, the uprising in Wu Guang, Chen Sheng, people in many places killed their officers in response to Chen Sheng. The county magistrate in Pei was also very scared and wanted to follow suit. When Liu Bang returned home with more than 1 followers, including Fan Kuai, Pei Ling regretted it. He closed the city gate and refused to let them in. Liu Bang tied a letter to an arrow and shot it into the city. In the letter, he explained his righteousness and persuaded his elder brothers.
So Peiren responded, killed Peiling, welcomed Liu Bang into the city, and elected him as the leader (at that time, officials in the county government, especially those headed by Xiao He and Cao Can, were afraid that if the uprising was unsuccessful, they would be devastated by genocide). Liu Bang promised after repeated humility, and from then on, he began his military career.
From the experience of Liu Bang's rise, we can easily see that he has some good conduct, such as caring for his elders, daring to act, not greedy for power, and being brave in taking responsibility, which are important personal conditions for his future success.
After Liu Bang became Hanwang, his main rival for the world was Xiang Yu. Unlike Liu Bang, who was born in civilian clothes, Xiang Yu was an authentic aristocrat of Chu, and he was born with great courage and martial arts. However, Xiang Yu was very cruel and heartless. In the war, every time he captured a place, he would be greatly burned and killed.
This is especially true after he entered Xianyang. He killed Zi Ying, the surrendered Qin emperor, and set fire to Epang Palace. What he did in Guanzhong was very unpopular, and Xiang Yu was narrow-minded and headstrong, and did not listen to advice. Xiang Yu is also particularly greedy for power. Sometimes he even holds the seal symbolizing one party's power in his hand for a long time, but he is reluctant to give it to others, and his heroes are also stingy with raising.
All of the above behaviors were just the opposite of Liu Bang's. Therefore, in the process of the struggle between Chu and Han, Xiang Yu, who had an absolute advantage, gradually lost his heart and public opinion, thus losing his loyal minister and his own territory. Finally, in 22 BC, he was completely defeated by Liu Bang.
those who win the hearts of the people win the world, those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, and it is common sense in the world to gain more help than to lose it. Liu Bangguang, Shi Rende, agreed on the land of Sanqin in three chapters, followed advice like a stream, and Ren Xian was courteous and virtuous, and all the good words and strategies that were beneficial to the country were readily accepted. There are many generals in Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, Han Xin, Cao Can, Guan Ying, zhou bo, Xia Houying, Ying Bu, Peng Yue and Fan Kuai, and Wen Tao's military strategy is a thousand miles away.
Looking at Xiang Yu's loneliness and disloyalty, he showed that he killed more than 2, soldiers first, and some decided to kill the righteous emperor, killing the son Sakura and destroying the Epang Palace. It was shameful to recruit all the pieces, and his selfish distractions were extremely heavy. Every valiant soldier made great contributions and lost his horn. Over time, he lost his heart, and a sub-father could not make good use of it. How could he own the world?
