History is like an egg, salted to become a salted egg, and lime husk is a songhua egg, so historians always like to make assumptions about history. In the end of the Qin Dynasty, the heroes of all walks of life rose up against the violent Qin. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang , Xiang Yu contended for the world, and finally Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty. Xiang Yu died on the Wujiang River and was chopped into several pieces by Liu Bang’s soldiers. Today, let’s make a hypothesis. If Xiang Yu listened to the suggestion of his father Fan Zeng at the Hongmen Banquet, he would kill him. Liu Bang, can Xiang Yu achieve hegemony?
is very popular nowadays through dramas or novels about overhead history. This is due to our endless imagination of history. If Jing Ke assassinated King Qin, how would it develop later? Or if Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, could he dominate the world and win the final victory? Of course, there may be many variables in the middle that we cannot consider, but we can analyze the situation and historical trend of the world at that time by observing it from historical records. Xiang Yu’s failure was destined. Hongmen Yan did not kill Liu Bang because of his shortsightedness and benevolence of women. Even if Liu Bang was killed at that time, it was difficult for him to stand firm in the world because of his personality. "Poor bandits, don’t be famous for learning overlords". Xiang Yu is a good general, but not a good emperor, and he didn't even want to be emperor at all. The world is destined for people with ambitions.
And Xiang Yu is a general with a benevolence of women. Take the Hongmen Banquet as an example. At that time, Xiang Yu had 400,000 soldiers and Liu Bang had only 100,000. He could have killed an ant. Killed Liu Bang in the same way, but didn't listen to his uncle's words and didn't start, because if he killed Liu Bang, he felt it was an unkind and unrighteous move, and he couldn't do that. Even if Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, he might not be able to unify the world. Once a soft heart, you will be defeated later. It is said that Xiang Yu is infinitely powerful and can be worthy of a team. But in battle, apart from bravery, it is strategy. What Xiang Yu lacks is resourcefulness, and it happens that there is no counsel by his side, so in Gaixia Defeated and lost his favorite beauty, he also needs to face Jiangdong's elders.
Furthermore, if Liu Bang was killed, there would be no Han Dynasty for 400 years, our nation would not be called Han, nor would our writing be called Chinese characters. And there won't be so many people surnamed Liu today. After removing Liu Bang, with Xiang Yu's character, he still could not unite China. At the latest after his death, there will be conflicts between the heroes, the world will be in chaos, and finally another person will rule the world. Moreover, if this hypothesis becomes true, the course of history is changed, some damn people are not dead, and those who shouldn’t die are dead. The fate of their children and grandchildren, as well as the fate of other people’s descendants, will be completely changed. .
Although Xiang Yu finally became Liu Bang's defeat, his heroic deeds have been passed down and eventually attracted many fans. At the same time, many people are also very sorry for Xiang Yu. How could such a powerful person lose to Liu Bang, who was born as a poppi rogue? Many people believe that if Xiang Yu had listened to Fan Zeng's suggestion and killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, he would surely achieve hegemony. If Xiang Yu is a treachery villain who easily kills any prince, what would the other princes think? They will also be in panic all day long, fearing that the next person to be killed is themselves, and Xiang Yu will eventually rebel against his family. Therefore, Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, and things would only develop in a worse direction. Without the support of the princes, Xiang Yu would be in a state of isolation and helplessness. Even with his natural power, he would not be able to kill thousands of enemies. Killing Liu Bang seems to be a wise choice, but in fact it is very stupid. In addition, Xiang Yu doesn't get rid of his bad ailments, even if he kills one Liu Bang, countless Liu Bangs will stand up and defeat him.
At the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Yu's failure to kill Liu Bang has always been interpreted as Xiang Yu's political naive performance. Because Xiang Yu has no power to annex other princes, he can only give them autonomy! Xiang Yu took advantage of the situation and led the princes' coalition forces to persuade Liu Bang, forcing Liu Bang to accept the 400,000 people who did not belong to him who had been frightened. Xiang Yu successfully grabbed Guanzhong, so that he could get out of the empty glove white wolf! Therefore, from Xiang Yu’s perspective, Liu Bang is not only an enemy, but a representative of one of the emerging princes. He can be an ally to a certain extent and arrangeIn the Bashu Han, you can check with the Three Qin Kings.
If you really want to kill Liu Bang, you don’t need to eat a feast at all. Xiang Yu’s plan was to use military means to forcibly resolve Liu Bang, so it was said that he would issue soldiers to the army every day in order to defeat the Pei army. ! So why did Xiang Yu issue such a military order? Because of Cao Wushang's informant plan, Qin was determined. There are soldiers guarding the Hangu Pass, and no entry is allowed. He also heard that Pei Gong had broken through Xianyang, Xiang Yu was furious, so that King Dangyang waited to hit the pass, Xiang Yu entered, as for Xixi. Pei Gongjun dominates and has not been able to meet Xiang Yu.
