Liu Bang is a very controversial emperor. It can be said that he started from scratch and reached the peak of his life. Liu Bang's life can be said to be legendary. From a gangster to a dynasty, how did he do it as the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty? He also faced the powerful opponent of , Xiang Yu, .
When the Qin Dynasty was rebelling against Qin, Xiang Yu attacked Xiangcheng . He could not conquer for a long time in the early days. When the city was broken, Xiang Yu was angry and buried all the men, women, and young people in Xiangcheng alive. Later, he led his troops to attack Chengyang with Liu Bang, and after the capture, he killed the people of the whole city. When the anti-Qin victory was won, the Qin generals such as Handan led their troops to surrender to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was worried that the surrendered troops would be repeated, so he buried all the 200,000 Qin Dynasty soldiers alive in the south of Xin'an City. After Xiang Yu led his troops into Xianyang, he also killed the surrendered Qin Sanshi Ziying, and finally swept the treasures and women of the Qin Dynasty to retreat eastward.
After several years of war, the rebel army finally destroyed Yangyang Qin . Of course, Xiang Yu killed more than just people. But compared with those killed on the battlefield, the killing of the people and surrendered soldiers can better highlight the character of the Western Chu King . From invincible battle to arrogant and arrogant, Xiang Yu has reached the peak of his life. What's next? He answered correctly, and only the only thing waiting for him is death.
It is hard to understand that after conquering Xianyang, Xiang Yu did not choose to consolidate his territory, but to seek forever. On the contrary, he returned triumphantly and immigrated the princes. Although the results of victory were divided into two parts, the division was extremely unfair. When Xiang Yu returned to Chu, he was preparing to enfeoff and ban , there was a famous saying: "Wealth and honor will not return to our hometown, like embroidered clothes and walking at night, who knows it!" It means that if you stole so many jewelry and women, it would be meaningless if you don't go back to your hometown to show off. After avoiding Xiang Yu's limelight, Liu Bang occupied Guanzhong , reused Zhang Liang Han Xin and other generals to rest and recuperate. Those princes who were unhappy in possession were increasingly favored to Xiang Yu's opponents. The strength just increases and decreases.
Judging from the previous burial and massacre-like killings, Xiang Yu's personality should be a type of root-killing, but it is difficult to understand that he let Liu Bang go repeatedly. You can kill it twice, and let it go twice. The founder of Liu Bang got rid of Fan Zeng , which he had been discarded by Liu Bang with a meal of pork.
said that Xiang Yu was short-sighted. When he first saw Qin Shihuang , he said to his uncle "that can be replaced." It’s better to say he is brave but not resourceful, but his great victory in the boat is a cave to see the true meaning of "a tragic soldier will win" in the art of war. The personality schizophrenia of these historical figures is so serious.
Look at the things that Xiang Yu has done that hurts his relatives and is happy with his enemies. His ending is not bad. In terms of the gap, it is not that obvious between him and , the Han Emperor Gaozu , but Liu Bang listened to the advice and cherished talents. After committing suicide by committing suicide, Liu Bang buried him with the etiquette of Duke Lu, and also went to a grave to cry and mourn him. According to historical records, "All Xiang families are not punished, , Han Wang will not be punished." With Liu Bang's personality, he could do this, so there is no need to say anything else. This is the gap between him and Xiang Yu.
