In fact, Xiang Yu's problems go far beyond these.

After Han Xin left Xiang Yu for Liu Bang, he had a long talk with Liu Bang. The content of the conversation is mainly about Xiang Yu. Liu asked Han Xin, and Prime Minister Xiao repeatedly recommended the general to me. What is the general going to teach me? Han Xin didn't answer this question directly, but asked: Isn't it Wang Xiang who is fighting for power with the king in the East now? Liu bang said yes. Han Xin asked again, Your Majesty, think for yourself. If you are brave and have great military potential, can you compare with Wang Xiang? Liu bang was silent for a long time and said, I am not as good as him. Han Xin got up and said, yes. Even I, Han Xin, think that the King is inferior to him. That's weird. Knowing that Liu Bang is no match for Xiang Yu, is it silly to betray Xiang Yu and go to Liu Bang? Han Xin is certainly not stupid. He deeply analyzed Xiang Yu's character to Liu Bang, and analyzed the psychological and personality reasons for Xiang Yu's inevitable failure. Han Xin believes that Xiang Yu has at least two fatal weaknesses, namely "the courage of men" and "the benevolence of women". But in my opinion, according to this conversation, at least two items should be added, namely "petty" and "narrow-minded". ?

Let's start with "man's courage"

Xiang Yu is a brave man. He never seems to be afraid of anything in his life. Only others are afraid of him. He is in good health, too. Historical records record that he is "more than eight feet long and can carry a tripod." It is conceivable that he is heroic, muscular and formidable. If he is not allowed to be Swasinger today, he will be very attractive to some girls who worship the so-called masculinity. In 207 BC, the king of Zhao was surrounded by the Qin army in Julu, and an urgent feather book came like a snowflake. At that time, the vassal soldiers who saved Zhao were watching, but Xiang Yu led the Chu army to cross the rubicon and fought bloody battles nine times. ShaSheng deafening, all the ZhuangKe scared pale, only in this way, can break Qin Jun, save the prince of Zhao. Xiang Yu felt that it would be a waste and a pity if such courage and physique were not used. Therefore, Xiang Yu often has to be brave. Although he is the head coach, he likes to take the lead. Every time you fight, you take the lead, so you are invincible. Often Xiang Yu's weapons haven't been shot out, so he just stares at them, so that he is scared out of his wits, his eyes are cracked, he dare not look, his hands can't be released, and he is scared out of his wits and defeated. This record is quite a lot. I believe that every time I come here, Xiang Yu's heart must be full of joy. ?

This kind of pleasure even made him unable to resist a duel with the opposing coach. He told Liu Bang that the world has been restless for so many years, isn't it because of the two of us? Why don't we have a fight? Whoever wins will own the world, so why let everyone suffer! This is the real hero and noble. Unfortunately, Liu Bang didn't buy it. He won't practice alone with Xiang Yu and fight with his bare hands! So Liu Bang giggled and said that Liu was not brave but clever. I believe Liu Bang must have a sly smile on his face when he said this. ?

From an aesthetic point of view, Liu Bang's performance is not cool at all. But from the perspective of politics and military science, Liu Bang is right. War is the continuation of politics and the highest means of political struggle. The victory or defeat of war, in the final analysis, is the victory or defeat of political struggle, or at least the victory or defeat of strategy and tactics, which has nothing to do with the coach's personal strength and size. Xiang Yu treats war as a war, which is to treat politics as a child's play. It is simply naive. Everyone knows that "a few soldiers are good, but they will be brave." Xiang Yu himself is not ignorant, otherwise he would not have studied Sun Tzu's Art of War, nor would he have said that he would study "ten thousand enemies" instead of "one enemy". Unfortunately, at the last moment, the "ten thousand enemies" he learned was useless at all, and he used "one enemy". Visible Xiang Yu is not a handsome man, but a very powerful man.

For a long time, people have compared "the courage of a man" with "the courage of a gentleman". The road is bumpy, draw a sword to help each other, a word is inconsistent, and fists are added. This is the courage of every man. Because as long as you have a little blood and strength, don't have any ambition and accomplishment, anyone can and won't have any brilliant achievements, so it is the courage of every man. What is the courage of a gentleman? Mount Tai collapsed in front of it, and its color remained unchanged. Elk thrives on the left, but its eyes don't blink. Suddenly came, not surprised, not angry for no reason. This is the courage of a gentleman. Obviously, the courage of a gentleman shows calmness and determination. Su Dongpo said that this is because "the load is also large and the cause is far away." In other words, for the sake of lofty ideals, you can bear the burden of humiliation temporarily, or you can ignore the immediate gains and losses. Therefore, "the enemy advances and I retreat" is not cowardice, nor is "fight if you win, and leave if you don't win". Of course, it is not brave to blindly act recklessly for the sake of present face and disregard lofty ideals. Liu bang was shot in the chest by an arrow from Xiang Yu, and he couldn't stand up straight. He bent down and touched his toes, cursing: Son of a bitch, shoot me in the foot, then turn around and run. This is a bit witty and cunning, but it can't be said to be timid.

The courage of one person is the courage of one person, and the courage of a general is the courage of ten thousand people. On the battlefield, courage is indispensable. As the saying goes, "the two armies are enemies, and the brave win." However, the courage mentioned here is the courage of the whole army, not the courage of individuals. Of course, in some cases, the general's leadership can really boost morale, especially in the era of cold weapons. But Xiang Yu's charge is not entirely for morale, but sometimes for his own bravado. As a result, because of his personal heroism, other generals and soldiers felt dispensable. Where can there be collective wisdom and strength? Sima Qian criticized him for "fighting for personal wisdom" (relying only on individuals) and "seeking power" (relying only on violence), both of which hit the nail on the head. ?

Let's talk about "the goodness of women." ?

Women's kindness and men's courage seem to be contradictory. In fact, Xiang Yu is already very contradictory. There is a brave side and a timid side in his character; There is a cruel side and a gentle side. Xiang Yu claimed to be the overlord of Chu, but in fact he was cruel and overbearing. He is violent, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and he is not soft in killing people. Yin Tong, the commander of Huiji County, had no enmity with him in his previous life and no injustice in later generations, and he still planned to join them in the uprising against Qin, saying that he would kill him. Qing Zi champion Yi Song talks a lot, but he is actually an idiot. Although he is a little Xiang Yu, it's nothing after all, and he just said to kill him. (Yi Song, therefore Chu Lingyin, is a talkative person. He had predicted Xiang Liang's failure. Unfortunately, it only shows that he has the ability to observe, but not to command. After he became commander-in-chief, he was still self-righteous when he made strategic mistakes, and posted a notice saying: "Fierce as a tiger, ruthless as a wolf, greedy as a sheep, and those who disobey will all be beheaded." The result was killed by Xiang Yu. )

And King Huai, a useless "righteous emperor". Xiang Yu pointed to the east, but he dared not point to the west. Xiang Yu's guide dared not point north. If he wants to move, he will move. If he wants to make way, he will make way. Xiang Yu was not hindered, and even sent someone to murder him. Worst of all, 200,000 soldiers of the Qin Dynasty fell, and Xiang Yu killed them all overnight. Two hundred thousand people! I killed him without saying anything, and Xiang Yu didn't even blink. ?

However, at the hongmen banquet, facing liu bang, he couldn't do it.

Is it because Liu Bang has nothing against him? Yin Tong also has no rancor with him. Is it because Liu Bang is kind and virtuous to him? Liu Bangxian entered Xianyang and let him gnash his teeth. Is it because you don't know the stakes? Fan Zeng has made it very clear that Liu Bang is "ambitious" and he has "the spirit of the son of heaven", which is really a worry that he must go to. Is there no ability to kill? With Xiang Yu's martial arts, who will die in the middle of the night and who will live to the fifth watch? Besides, Liu Bang is a guest named Xiang Yu, but he is actually a prisoner. Xiang Yu's people are inside and out. Even Fan Kuai told Liu Bang that now people are chopping boards with kitchen knives, and we are chickens, ducks and fish. Is there no chance to do it? There are plenty of opportunities. At least, there is no problem before Fan Kuai enters an account to escort. But despite Fan Zeng's wink, Xiang Yu just kept silent and finally let Liu Bang, the roast duck, fly again. Fan Zeng was furious and cursed bitterly: "It's not enough to make a plan (this boy really doesn't deserve to make a plan with him)!"

In fact, Fan Zeng had already seen through it: "Your Majesty has the heart." The so-called "unbearable heart" is also "a woman's benevolence". ?

But isn't Xiang Yu cruel? How can it be "unbearable"? ?

In fact, Xiang Yu looks tough on the surface, but he is very fragile inside. Xiang Yu is a face-saving person. Face-saving people are fragile inside. It's just that its fragility makes it so face-saving. Because he can't stand any harm, it's trying to protect his face. Xiang Yu's self-immolation of Wujiang River was largely due to the consideration of face: "My elders in Jiangdong pity me, I can't see it!" So he left a famous saying about face: "I have no face to see my elders in Jiangdong." Why not face each other? I can't stand that pity except guilt. For Xiang Yu, who has been strong all his life, pity is harm. So he would rather die. Only by killing yourself can you win back face and feel better. ?

Xiang Yu is such a person with inner conflict and contradictory personality. After all, he is actually a naive action art that is unfortunately pushed to the battlefield and slaughterhouse. He doesn't want to kill people, but he can't help killing people; I don't really want to fight, but I can't help it. Because he had no choice. He has no other way, and there is no other way to reflect his survival value and complete his performance art. After all, he started his life by killing people. After all, he ended his life by war. Therefore, he loves killing people and fighting. However, behind his bravery is cowardice, and behind his cruelty is gentleness. He kills people like hemp, but there is a fear in his heart. He is invincible, but he has a failure complex in his heart. It is because of inner fear that people keep killing people. It is precisely because of fear of failure that we long for victory. Only the constant blood can wash away the shame he felt because of cowardice, and only the successive victories can soothe his painful and restless heart.

So we can see that he was so impatient when he challenged Liu Bang: there is no need to drag so many people on the battlefield, just the two of us! Doesn't this prove that he is tired of the war and just wants to end it early? Doesn't this just prove that he has long been afraid of failure and hopes to win in this most convenient and sure way for him? So as soon as he heard that he was besieged, he neither investigated nor studied, and he was even more unwilling to think about whether it was the enemy's plan, and immediately decided that he had been defeated. Because he has a "failure complex" in his heart. I even believe that there will be a voice in his heart: "This day has finally come! All this is finally over! " ?

Just when Xiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief because of his final failure, the tenderness in his heart rose behind the cruelty. Success or failure, life or death are meaningless. The only thing worth worrying about is that famous horse. This is also his only love, and it is a place of pure love that he left for his life after fighting and killing. "The undead, but I can't help it! What is it? " How gentle and considerate, how affectionate and touching! No wonder you have to "cry a few lines". It is said that Xiang Yu is a person who is prone to tears. Han Xin said that when he saw that his soldiers were injured and sick, he had to send soup and rice in tears. But this time, he did it for himself. ?

The true feelings and inner world of a bloody man are all in these lines of tears. ?

Xiang Yu is really affectionate, which is an integral part of his artistic temperament. He even had some mother-in-law Han Xin say that he "vomited", that is to say, his words were verbose and trivial. It is not difficult for us to imagine his consistent image in the military camp: holding a tearful rice basket, holding the hand of the injured soldier to ask if he is warm and cold, and telling stories about family life. If Han Xin hadn't seen it with his own eyes and said it himself, it would be hard for ordinary people to believe that there would be so much tenderness and lingering in this man who pushed the mountain for the top. ?

In fact, Xiang Yu's "benevolence" is recognized by both sides. Han Xin said that Xiang Yu was "respectful and affectionate", Chen Ping said that Xiang Yu was "respectful and affectionate", and Gao Qi and Tomb said that Xiang Yu was "kind and affectionate", and their views were quite consistent. For Liu Bang, their views are quite consistent, that is, rude and insulting others. These words were said in front of Liu Bang, which should be said to be quite credible. In fact, this is also the case with Liu Bang. He likes swearing. Scold Xiao He, scold Han Xin, scold all his men. Scold if you are unhappy, scold if you are happy. Even if you want to seal someone's rank, you should scold him first and be a bandit. As for all kinds of etiquette for treating people and governing the country, he knows nothing about it, and he doesn't even know what etiquette is. He despised the Confucian scholars who hated etiquette, saying that he wanted to tear them off as urinals at the sight of their hats. A famous Confucian scholar came to visit him. He sat on the bed with his legs wide open and his knees hunched, and asked two girls to wash his feet. Therefore, Shi Li said seriously that since the first step was to eliminate the ruthless Qin Dynasty, he should not have met such a disrespectful old gentleman. Liu Bang immediately stood up, got dressed, said he was sorry, and then Li Sheng was invited to sit down. Xiao He recommended Han Xin to him and gave him a lecture. He waved and said, for Xiao He's sake, let him be a general. Xiao He said he would leave if you made him a general. Liu bang said, then be a general. Call him in! Xiao He said that you have always been rude. Nowadays, worshipping a general is like bossing a child (for example, calling a child's ear). No wonder Han Xin is leaving. Liu bang promised to choose auspicious days to fast and set up an altar for sacrifice. Liu Bang's rudeness is in sharp contrast with Xiang Yu's enthusiasm and courtesy. ?

This is not surprising. Xiang Yu is an aristocrat, and etiquette is only an indispensable accomplishment for aristocrats. Xiang Yu certainly knows how to treat people with courtesy, and he salutes like an instrument. Liu bang is a rogue, how can he have this accomplishment? After becoming a public official and a king, he gradually turned into a dog, but he will still show his true colors if he is not careful. After the completion of Weiyang Palace, Liu Bangda, an emperor, said drunkenly to Uncle Liu, who was already the emperor's father: Dad, in the past, your old man always called me a hooligan, which was not as good as my second brother's ability to handle affairs. Now, do you think my second brother has more industries or mine? The ministers in the temple followed suit, cheering and laughing, which was totally outrageous.

Xiang Yu, a noble who respects his lover, is not as popular as Liu Bang, a rogue who simply calls names. Why? ?

Han Xin, they answered this question. When summing up the success or failure of Liu Bang, Gao Qi and the tomb told Liu Bang that your majesty was slow and insulting, and Xiang Yu was kind and loved. But your majesty sent someone to attack the city, shot it down and gave it to him. This is the same benefit as the world. What about Xiang Yu? Winning the battle, regardless of the credit of others, taking the city is not good for others, and of course it will lose the world. Han Xin also made it very clear: Xiang Yu is a good man, very caring and considerate. However, someone else had the credit and should have been given the title, but he pinched the seal in his own hand and touched it, making it round and reluctant to give it to others. This is simply a woman's kindness. Indeed, compared with the land, promoting to a higher position, being caring and attentive, and sending soup and meals are nothing. Compared with Liu Bang's gift of money, large tracts of land and a large number of officials, Xiang Yu is really petty. ?

Xiang Yu's petty nature sometimes makes people feel incredible. He occupied Xianyang, and the ready-made emperor did not do it, and the ready-made imperial city did not live. He just burned and looted, filled the beautiful woman's car with gold and silver, and ran back to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu) to be the overlord of Chu. This is just like Ah Q's thinking: I only know how to move the Ning-style bed of the scholar's wife back to Tugu Temple, but I don't know if I can simply live in the scholar's home. Some people advised Xiang Yu that Guanzhong has a dangerous terrain and fertile land, so he can stand here. But he said, if you have money and don't go back to your hometown, isn't it wearing beautiful clothes and traveling in the dark? Who can see it? This is really petty! So this person said that at that time, people said that Chu people were just big monkeys in high hats (bathing monkeys, crowning monkeys), and sure enough! ?

The person who said this sentence was thrown into the pot and cooked by Xiang Yu on the spot, but it has almost become an accepted fact that Xiang Yu has no ambition. Mr. Wang thinks that the saying of "returning home with clothes" is just an excuse for Xiang Yu. His real idea is because Chu's base is in Jiangdong, and he can't help worrying about Chu Huaiwang. In fact, what's the name of the puppet king Chu and Xiang Yu who helped themselves to the stage to herd sheep? What does the world care about? If the Qing army that went south occupied Beijing and ran back to Fengtian, would there still be the Qing Dynasty? ?

This is petty. It was this narrowness that made him murder Chu Huaiwang, thus losing his heart. It was this narrow-mindedness that made him suspicious of Fan Zeng and lost his arm. Petty has been looked down upon by people, and being narrow-minded is even more unbearable. As a result, those capable and ambitious people around him, such as Han Xin and Chen Pingping, left him one by one, leaving only a fine horse and a soul mate with him. ?

Xiang Yu's loneliness was caused by himself. Xiang Yu's failure was also caused by himself. ?

Fan Zeng is actually the most loyal person around Xiang Yu. ?

Fan Zeng, a native of Juchao (now Chaoxian County, Anhui Province), is a Zhuge Liang-style figure. Xiang Liang arise, he is seventy years old, still resolutely join the army, with Xiang Liang, xiang yu, obviously want to achieve something. He often looks at problems from a strategic perspective and hits the nail on the head. He once told Xiang Liang that Chen Sheng's failure was a matter of course. Qin destroyed six countries, and Chu was the most innocent, so the prophecy (a prophetic folk rumor) said, "Although Chu has three households, Qin will be destroyed." Chen Sheng's first meaning, not following the king of Chu and self-reliance, this momentum will certainly not last long. Adults have been generals of Chu for generations. If another descendant of Chu Jun is summoned, it will be very popular. This makes sense, and Xiang Liang has done it, with good results. After Liu Bangxian entered the customs, he told Xiang Yu that Liu Bang had been greedy for money and lustful when he was in his hometown. He didn't make a mistake when he entered the customs this time. He didn't take a copper coin and didn't touch a woman, which shows that his ambition is not small. This statement simply hits the nail on the head. Therefore, Xiang Yu has great respect for him, honoring him as the "father of the country" (second only to his father) and calling him "uncle", which is similar to what Qi Huangong called Guan Zhong and Liu Adou called Zhuge Liang "phase father". Chen Ping also thinks that he is the first of the few "bone-damaged ministers" under Xiang Yu. ?

However, this Asian father is easily alienated by Liu Bang. The plan is also simple: when Xiang Yu's special envoy came to Liu Bang's army, Liu Bang specially hosted a banquet for him. Just as he was about to sit down, he pretended to be in a panic and said, We thought it was the messenger of the Holy Father, but it was actually the king's. So he canceled the party and sent messengers with inferior food. This plan is actually "naive". But Xiang Yu was caught, and immediately became suspicious, making little moves about Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng is more intelligent. He said to Xiang Yu, "What's going on in the world is decided, and the king should be himself!" Then he left and died on his way home.

The small intrigues that Liu Bang and Chen Ping can see through at a glance are actually successful because of Xiang Yu's narrow-mindedness. An open aristocrat is petty, while an eight-foot man is narrow-minded. It seems incredible on the surface, and it makes sense to think about it carefully. In fact, nobles can easily become narrow-minded (although not necessarily), because nobles are nobles, because nobles are nobles, and nobles are always in the minority. So the aristocratic circle is very small. If a person lives in a small circle since childhood, it is not easy to open up. Even in the vast world, because of its innate nobility and arrogance, it is not easy to blend in with others. Because I can't overcome my inner sense of nobility, I often inadvertently reveal a condescending style. In addition, they are pampered and ignorant of human sufferings, so even if they really care about others, they give people a feeling of being pretentious because they don't care about ideas. For example, Xiang Yu couldn't think of it. The soldiers fought bloody battles. What's the photo? Not just his wife and children, Yao Zuguang Zong! But he shouldn't have sealed it and rewarded it. He can only send some soup in disguise. What is this? ?

Another problem of nobility is lofty. Clear is easy to stain, high is easy to fold, so their inner world is often fragile and easy to become narrow-minded Because they live a clean and honest life, they often blame others for pursuing perfection. Such a man is nothing as a hermit, and it is inevitable that he will be suspicious as a commander in chief. The result is naturally that the circle is getting smaller and smaller. Chen Ping once said that Xiang Yu was surrounded by people with integrity, self-esteem, personality, moral integrity and courtesy, while Liu Bang was surrounded by people who were greedy for money and lustful. But who is more and who is less, who can do things and who can't do things is not clear at a glance? ?

In fact, nobles may have two personalities and two hearts because of their nobility. One is very tolerant and the other is very narrow. The logic of the forgiver is this: since I am supreme, there is no need to exclude anything. It's like the sea in Wang Yang, but it's big, so it's all-inclusive. The logic of a narrow-minded person is this: since I am the only aristocrat, nothing else matters. It's like an ice peak on a snowy mountain, but it's too high to have anything. Once the narrow nobles fall into the mortal world, they are out of place everywhere; Once you go from poverty to wealth, you will become very stingy. He will attribute everything to his noble temperament and extraordinary ability, and will not admit that others have any credit. He will also keep everything for himself instead of sharing it with others. Because in his place, others are not things. This mentality is noble in your own eyes and stingy in others' eyes. Xiang Yu is such a person. ?

Similarly, hooligans may have two manners and two virtues because of meanness. One is despicable and the other is generous. Most of the former can only take advantage of petty advantages, run errands, or do petty theft, and never want to get ahead. The latter, if given the opportunity, can often achieve great things. First, they only have a blank sheet of paper, so it's useless to think about anything. It's better to think bigger, such as "being an emperor." With this idea and opportunity, maybe you can really "get everything you want." Second, they have nothing. Once there is, most of them are ill-gotten gains, or they are collected for nothing. Anyway, I didn't earn it by my own labor, and I don't feel bad. They might as well "spend all their money" and win the reputation of "helping the needy". Third, how can they find fault with others when they are dirty? Nature is particularly tolerant. What's more, they come from the bottom, know the world's coldness and human suffering best, know what people are pursuing and afraid of, and always buy people's hearts in place. With this understanding and generosity, you won't worry about buying stooges and hiring thugs, and you won't worry about no one supporting you. Once the world is in chaos, it is more difficult to seize power in chaos. Liu bang is such a person. ?

Liu bang's final victory was not without reason.

There is an old saying that "those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world." Liu Hexiang's gains and losses should really be examined from the people's hearts. ?

So, how do the two of them treat people? ?

Generally speaking, Xiang Yu cares about people and Liu Bang trusts people.

Care and trust could have won people's hearts. But the problem is that Xiang Yu cares about people, not thoughts. Liu bang trusted people, but he trusted to the extreme. As mentioned earlier, Chen Ping is suspected of "stealing his wife's money and acting willfully". At least it's true that he took bribes. But Liu Bang only talked to him once, which gave him a high degree of trust. Liu Bang asked, "Mr. Wang worked for Wei first, then for Chu, and now he is with me. Can honest people be so half-hearted? Chen Ping replied: Yes, I have served King Wei and King Chu successively. However, Wang Wei can't employ people, so I have to go to Wang Xiang. King Xiang can't trust people, so he has to go to King Xiang again. I escaped naked, penniless, and I couldn't live without the support of others. My plan, if your majesty finds it desirable, please adopt it. If nothing is desirable, please let me be laid off. I haven't touched the money that others gave me, but I just gave it to the public in full. Hearing this, Liu Bang got up and apologized to Chen Ping, and entrusted Chen Ping with a bigger official position. Later, Chen Ping suggested to Liu Bang to spy on Xiang Yu with silver bullets. Liu Bang immediately allocated 40,000 Jin of gold (copper) for Chen Ping to use at will without reimbursement (no matter what he did). As a result, he played two tricks again. Sure enough, Xiang Yu became suspicious of the dark ghost and lost trust in Fan Zeng, Zhong and other confidants. ?

Not only is there no doubt about employing people, but it is also open-minded and generous, just the opposite of Xiang Yu's narrow-mindedness. Liu bang is really generous. This generosity may have been formed when his mother doubled his debts, but more importantly, he should be said to be "ambitious". What he wants to rob is the whole world. Of course, he doesn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, let alone those few pennies. He can also bear this "great goal". Like controlling your desires. In 206 BC, Liu Bang entered the State of Qin from Wuguan and Xianyang. In the face of "palace, weft account, dogs and horses, treasures, thousands of women", he is not unmoved. Fan Kuai advised him to leave the palace, but he ignored the marriage. It's not hard to understand. New kids from a small place, seeing so many rare treasures, as beautiful as flowers and jade, resplendent and magnificent, how can it not be dazzled and dazzled? I'm afraid my hand is sticking out of my throat. However, after listening to Sean's stern advice, he resolutely quit Qin Gong and returned to the army, and finally simply did it. He even refused to accept the rewards of cattle, sheep and wine offered by the Qin people, saying that we had our own rations and were reluctant to give money to everyone to make the Qin people happy, for fear that Liu Bang would not be the king of Qin. Liu bang did a beautiful job. Compared with Xiang Yu who plundered and killed countless people in Xianyang, burning the city in March is obviously more popular. ?

Liu bang can control his desires and emotions. In 203 BC, Han Xin captured more than 70 cities of Qi, and a large area became his territory. With so much money in his hand, Han Xin wanted to bargain with Liu Bang. He wrote to Liu Bang, saying that Qi people are fickle, and it is a country that changes repeatedly, and the south is bordered by Chu. If we don't set up a fake king to guard it, I'm afraid the situation will be uncertain. At that time, Liu bang was surrounded by Xiang Yu's army in Xingyang, and Tai Gong and Lu Shi were also in Xiang Yu's hands, and there was nowhere to send their anger. When I saw the letter from the messenger, I couldn't help but get angry from the bottom of my heart, angry at Yong: bastard! I'm stuck here, waiting for you to save me every day, but you want to be a fake king of Qi! He swore. Sean and Chen Ping knew that they could not offend Han Xin at this time, so they secretly kicked Liu Bang. So Liu bang went on to scold: worthless thing! A man is a man. He made great achievements and pacified the vassals. That's the real king, not the fake king! Such an impromptu kung fu is not available to Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu also has no such ability to restrain himself. This matter should be put on Xiang Yu. He must kill people immediately without saying anything. He must kill Han Xin himself. ?

It's not a matter of character. No one will have the character of "forbearance", forbearance is forced out. There are two kinds of forbearance. First, in the face of power rape, we have to swallow it. This is not so much patience as helplessness. What should I do if I fight and I can't win, and I can't bear to part with the money? This is not forbearance. True forbearance means not doing what you want to do and what you can do. For example, it is not easy to give up the treasures and women in Qin Gong. Obviously, only such a forbearance is the real forbearance. In other words, the real forbearance is to conquer yourself and do it yourself. Hold on, a knife in your heart is a knife in your heart! A person who can do it for himself will probably not be soft when dealing with others. Therefore, people who can bear it are cruel. Liu bang is cruel. On one occasion, the Chu army chased Liu Bang, and Liu Bang pushed his son and daughter out of the car in order to escape. Xia Houying, the driver, carried them into the car three times and was pushed down by Liu Bang three times. Xia Houying really can't stand it, saying, although it's urgent, can't we hurry up? Why leave them alone? Liu Bang escaped with the children. As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children. A person who can abandon his children can imagine the cruelty in his heart.

Therefore, when Fan Zeng discovered that Liu Bangjin, a lecherous and greedy man, had never committed a crime in Xianyang in autumn, he clearly realized that this was an extremely dangerous and cruel enemy. If he doesn't destroy it as soon as possible, he will raise a tiger as a menace. Unfortunately, many people failed to see this at that time, including Xiang Yu and Han Xin.

Han Xin's mistake

Han Xin was also killed by Liu Bang, although it was Lv Hou who laid hands on him directly, although Liu Bang endured it for a long time.

Han Xin is very interesting. He is almost half Liu Bang and half Xiang Yu. Like Liu Bang, he is also a patient person. Nanchang Tingchang disliked him and made fun of him, but he put up with it. Mother felt sorry for him and scolded him, but he put up with it. Later, the street hooligans in Huaiyin County deliberately humiliated him, and he endured it. He really climbed out of the hooligan's crotch and attracted ridicule and ridicule all over the street. To tell the truth, it is not easy to endure such humiliation. Which hot-blooded man can be insulted by this? Even Han Xin himself, almost unbearable. Sima Qian said that he became "familiar" after listening to the rogue's words (staring at him for a long time), and there was probably a fierce ideological struggle during this period! But in the end, he endured it. After all, forbearance does not mean fear. Mr. Bai Yang said it well: He is a broken-hearted and paralyzed slave, and sincerely surrendered. Bend your knees before you jump. That's a hero. A little provocation, you will bite back in a rage and never let go. That's a crab. Han Xin is not a crab, but a hero. Only in this way can he be qualified to criticize Xiang Yu as "a man's courage". Because he knew that being provoked by hooligans would definitely make Xiang Yu unbearable, and he would definitely jump up and punch that bastard on the nose.
