In the thousands of years of ancient history, the number of famous generals born can be said to be as bright as the stars, and only a few of them can be called "god-level" generals. Although these "god-level" generals were all geniuses in the military, they were very stupid in politics. Even though they achieved the greatest military achievements, none of them ended up with a good death.

Among the ancient founding emperors, Liu Bang was definitely a very special existence. Because in the process of Liu Bang unifying the world, he successively killed two "god-level" famous generals, one was Overlord of Chu Xiang Yu, and the other was the military god Han Xin .

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was said by later generations to be "unparalleled in his bravery throughout history." Xiang Yu not only has unparalleled personal combat prowess, but is also the number one general in history. He has also made great achievements in the military. He is a representative figure of the " military strategists and four forces " in ancient times. However, who would have imagined that such a "god-level" general would eventually be defeated by Liu Bang, a gangster? This is something no one would have imagined.

Liu Bang's early battles with Xiang Yu almost all ended in Liu Bang's defeat, especially the Battle of Pengcheng, where Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang's half-million army with only 30,000 cavalry. In terms of military ability, Liu Bang couldn't compare to Xiang Yu, but Liu Bang won in the end. Why? The answer is actually very simple, because Xiang Yu is politically naive and almost equal to an idiot.

The most typical example, Xiang Yu, who was in a good situation, why did he have to kill Emperor YiXiong Xin? This is simply a mysterious operation. Although Emperor Yi made a move to seize military power, given Xiang Yu's prestige in the army at that time, Emperor Yi's move could only be in vain and he didn't need to pay attention to it at all. Moreover, what is even more surprising is that after Xiang Yu killed Emperor Yi, he did not proclaim himself emperor, which was equivalent to bearing the infamy of being unkind and unjust.

By killing Yi Di Xiong Xin, Xiang Yu did not get any benefits, but suffered a lot of disadvantages. It can be said to be very unwise. However, when Fan Zeng persuaded Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu seemed to be so benevolent as a woman. Although there were many princes participating in the banquet, Xiang Yu, the majestic King of Chu, really wanted to use Liu Bang to kill chickens to scare monkeys. I am afraid that no princes would dare to say "no", right?

Not killing those who should be killed, but killing those who should not be killed. How can Xiang Yu be undefeated with such a naive performance in politics? However, as a military god of the generation, Xiang Yu would not be too embarrassed if he committed suicide in the future. Compared with another "Military God" Han Xin, Xiang Yu's death was actually decent enough, because Han Xin was strangled to death by a group of women.

It is said that Han Xin's last words before his death were that he regretted that he did not listen to Kuai Tong and was deceived by women and children. So, what exactly did Kuai Tong say to Han Xin? Why didn't Han Xin listen? Let's look down.

In 203 BC, Han Xin defeated Wei, Zhao and Yan in succession. When he was about to attack Qi, he heard that Liu Bang had sent Li Shi to persuade Qi to surrender. At this time, Han Xin wanted to stop the march, and a man named Kuai Tong told him that he must not withdraw his troops at this time, but must attack the capital of Qi in one go, so that you can take credit. After listening to Kuai Tong's words, Han Xin attacked Qi State's Linmiao City in one breath. Li Shiqi was boiled to death, and Han Xin declared himself the king of Qi.

After Han Xin became the king of Qi, Kuai Tong persuaded him to divide the world into three parts with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and stand as a tripod. In order to increase Han Xin's confidence, Kuai Tong also told Han Xin that if you don't accept what God has given you, you will suffer disaster in the future. But Han Xin didn't believe it. He said that Liu Bang treated me well, how could he do anything so unjust as he saw benefit? Still unwilling to listen to Kuai Tong's ideas.

Kuai Tong did not expect that Han Xin would be so naive, so he persuaded him earnestly, saying that fighting for hegemony is about not sticking to trivial matters, why bother to stick to past kindness? Later, Kuai Tong took Changshan King Zhang Er and Cheng Anjun Chen Yu as examples, saying that these two people were very close when they met. No one in the world can compare with them, but in the end it was not just because of a trivial matter. Kill each other? Now your relationship with Liu Bang will not be closer than those two people, and what you are fighting for is the whole world. In the future, Hanwang will definitely harm you.

No matter what Kuai Tong said, Han Xin never believed it, so that he was actually killed by Liu Bang in the future. After Liu Bang killed Han Xin, he heard that Han Xin mentioned Kuai Tong before he died, so he ordered people to capture Kuai Tong and throw him into a pot to cook him to death. Kuai Tong said to Liu Bang, "In the past, I only met Han Xin and did not get to know you, Your Majesty. Naturally, I can only confide in him. This is called barking at his master." Besides, there are so many people in the world who want to seize the throne from you, do you still want to kill them all? Liu Bang thought Kuai Tong was right, so he released him.

Through the experiences of Xiang Yu and Han Xin, it is not difficult to find that the more outstanding military talents in ancient times, the less political wisdom they had, and there are many such examples. For example, another "god-level" general in history was sentenced to death in the end because of his lack of political wisdom. There is also Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty. He can be regarded as a "god-level" famous general, but he kept talking about "welcoming the two saints". Naturally, he was inevitably tabooed by Zhao Gou, which led to his tragic death in Feng Boting.

Looking at these ancient famous generals, although they made outstanding achievements in the military, they appeared to be indecisive in politics, or they did not understand the way of obscurity, so that they ended up with a tragic ending. Perhaps this is the difference between civil servants and military generals. Only such focused people can achieve great achievements on the battlefield.
