Why did Xiang Yu lose when Chu and Han competed? Han Xin summed up 8 words, and Guo Jia pointed it out with 1 word

Speaking of Han Gaozu Liu Bang, the first impression of many people is "Rogue Emperor". Before hitting the world, he was idle all day long and didn't want to make progress. Because I was eating free meals every day, my sister-in-law knocked the bottom of the pot with a loud sound. Even so, he still did not wake up, and found a widow to eat soft food again. As for the value of force, let alone Xiang Yu, even Fan Kuai beside him can't compare with him. But it was just such a person who defeated Xiang Yu, who was bravely crowned with the three armies and had a noble background. Why did Xiang Yu lose to Liu Bang? His old opponent Han Xin summed up 8 words, while Guo Jia of the Three Kingdoms period only said one word.

The main reason why Han Xin hated Xiang Yu and killed him was because Xiang Yu ignored him. Han Xin had a poor family in his early years and endured a lot of humiliation because he was obsessed with the art of war and did not work. When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an uprising and Xiang Liang crossed the Huaihe River north, Han Xin also went to Xiang Liang with his sword. But in Xiang Liang's army, Han Xin has not been reused and is unknown, like a grass that no one pays attention to.

After Xiang Liang's death, Xiang Yu became the commander-in-chief of the army, but only arranged for Han Xin to be the officer in charge. Nevertheless, Han Xin did not care. Because he is one step closer to Xiang Yu, he can put forward his ideas and suggestions to Xiang Yu. But Han Xin offered Xiang Yu several times, but Xiang Yu did not adopt it. In Xiang Yu's opinion, a soldier should do his job well. Why do you take so much leisure? Han Xin was frustrated, and then he defected to Liu Bang.

And it was precisely because Liu Bang worshipped Han Xin as the general that the balance between Chu and Han was tilted towards him. Han Xinli was also holding a fire, and he must make Xiang Yu realize his own mistakes. Under Han Xin's leadership, the Han army sings and advances, while the Chu army retreats steadily. Xiang Yu was beaten so hard that he started to win over Han Xin, intending to share the world with him and Liu Bang. Han Xin didn't agree to Xiang Yu because he cared about Liu Bang's kindness, and finally besieged Xiang Yu in Gaixia.

When summarizing the reasons for Xiang Yu's defeat afterwards, Han Xin said eight words: the courage of a man and the benevolence of a woman. As a prince and king, Xiang Yu fought around like a general. In the early stage of the development of the Chu army, this is certainly not wrong, but in the later stage, he should learn to delegate power and command generals instead of commanding troops. He used force to frighten other princes all day long, causing other princes to be dissatisfied with him. The benevolence of the woman refers to his attitude toward Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet. Originally, he listened to Fan Zeng's words and killed Liu Bang. However, he was bewitched by Xiang Bo, and felt compassion for Liu Bang. Eventually lead to the release of tigers back to the mountains, endless disasters. When he should be gentle, he is cold, and when he should be cold, he is gentle and undefeated.

But when Guo Jia, a counselor in the Three Kingdoms period, summed up the reasons for Xiang Yu's failure, he only said one word: Shi! The so-called "shi" can actually be said to be a backlash. As the saying goes, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." After the battle of Xiang Yu Julu, he killed 200,000 Qin troops. After entering Guanzhong, he indulged the princes to burn, kill, pillage, and set fire to others. This caused the people of the Three Qin Dynasty to resent him deeply. Later, because of the fiefdom problem, he offended other princes and kings. On the other hand, Liu Bang sealed up the treasury after entering the customs. Qiu did not commit any crimes, and he trusted Han Xin and the princes. Comparing the two, Liu Bang is naturally easier to win.
