Can you imagine? In the long history of China, one-third of the time has been baptized by blood and fire. The Chu-Han war is one of the wars, a war that lasted for more than 3 years, a war that allowed Liu Bang, the son of the cloth, to win the world, and a war that made Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, lose his life and lose his victory.
In 202 BC, Xiang Yu was defeated and killed himself at Wujiang.
Xiang Yu died and Liu Bang won, which was the result of the Chu-Han dispute and the final outcome between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, was once a nightmare for many people, he was able to carry the crown, and he had very outstanding military talents, "in three years, he destroyed the five princes of Qin, divided the world, and crowned the prince, and the government was yu out."
However, he still lost.
Why did Xiang Yu lose?
Is it because he despises Liu Bang too much, does not regard Liu Bang as his opponent, and uses all his strength to deal with it? After all, at that time, he had captured Liu Bang's wife Lü Yan and others, but in the end he was still released; after all, he, at the Hongmen banquet, did not choose to move, and finally released Liu Bang; after all, at that time, he actually accepted Zhang Liang's bribe, asked Liu Bang to seal Hanzhong, let Liu Bang get the right to rule Hanzhong, and personally sent Liu Bang a large piece of fat meat.....
Is it because of doubts about Fan Zeng? According to the reason, there is no doubt about the use of people, and there is no doubt about people, but as the first strategist around Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu did not fully trust Fan Zeng. Fan Zeng was optimistic about Xiang Yu, but the relationship between the two went from intimacy to brokenness, Xiang Yu did not listen to Fan Zeng's advice, and even more on top of the Hongmen banquet, he let Liu Bang go, Fan Zeng angrily cut through the jade bucket with his sword, and said hatefully, "Whoever seizes the xiang king's world, will be Pei Gongye, and I am now a prisoner."
The relationship between Fan Zeng and Xiang Yu broke down, Xiang Yu was caught in Liu Bang's divisive plan, and Fan Zeng angrily and desperately returned to his hometown and died tragically on the way.
This was Fan Zeng's misfortune, and it was also Xiang Yu's misfortune.
Among these two reasons, Ye Shijun mentioned the Hongmen Feast. The Hongmen Banquet also reflected another reason for Xiang Yu's failure - trusting the traitor.
As we all know, the reason why Xiang Yu would let Liu Bang go at the Hongmen Banquet was that one person was very important - Xiang Bo.
Xiang Boming was Xiang Yu's youngest uncle, but he betrayed Xiang Yu, defected to Liu Bang, and saved Liu Bang at the Hongmen Feast.
If Xiang Yu could have a better vision, knew Xiang Bo's careful thinking, and knew that Xiang Bo had already betrayed himself, on top of the Hongmen feast, Xiang Yu might have killed Liu Bang and thus won the world.
So, is the reason why Xiang Yu lost is because of these three reasons?
No, there are many reasons for a person's success or failure, many comprehensive reasons.
Even though Xiang Yu had won hundreds of battles in wars, he did not know the hearts of the people and did not understand the hearts of the people.
If he loses, he loses above the hearts of the people.
In the early days of Xiang Yu, there were many talents under him, Chen Ping, Han Xin and others had all turned to Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu did not understand people's hearts, would not use people, and treated talents wrongly, so that the talents under his hands went one after another, and they went to Liu Bang's side, resulting in scattered people's hearts within his own group and prominent contradictions.
Looking back on Xiang Yu's short life, he was angry with Fan Zeng, forced Chen Ping away, mistakenly hated Yingbu, snubbed Han Xin, forced Zhou Yin, and suspected Zhong Lixiao... Let your camp change from strong to weak, so that you step by step to failure, to destruction, to extinction.....
All this may be because Xiang Yu is too young and too young and crazy.
Can you imagine?
The year Xiang Yu died, he was only 30 years old, and his rival Liu Bang was a full 24 years older than him.
