Xiang Yu is a person with a frank temperament, casual behavior, not stuck in the world, not hidden and good publicity. Because he is young, he is hot-blooded, because he is frank, he is fearless, because he is casual, he is murderous, and he is isolated because of his publicity. Xiang Yu grew up in such a family environment, but he did not like to learn poetry and books, only liked to practice swordplay, but he could not insist.
Xiang Yu's bravery and martial prowess we need not say much, his innate divine power makes "Wu Zhong's sons and disciples are afraid", even after the defeat in the Battle of Xiaxia, in the face of dozens of times the pursuing enemy can still kill the siege several times, which shows his bravery.
However, the wisdom and strategy is Xiang Yu's shortcoming, in the years when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Xiang Yu occupied an absolute advantage for most of the time, but it was precisely because of the lack of wisdom and strategy that he eventually lost his advantage step by step, making the situation unfavorable to him step by step, and finally ended up losing everything and committing suicide in Wujiang.
He was proficient in the battle front but lacked strategic vision, and Xiang Yu's war ability was extremely strong without doubt, and he had repeatedly created the miracle of winning more with less. The Battle of Julu was won with 60,000 Chu troops against 200,000 Qin troops, and with the ambition to break the cauldron and sink the boat; the Battle of Pengcheng was won with 30,000 cavalry against 560,000 Han troops, killing Liu Bang all the way and abandoning his armor and so on.
However, in terms of controlling the overall strategic situation, Xiang Yu was obviously at a disadvantage. He was too concerned about the victory, defeat, and gains and losses on the battlefield, but he rarely considered things from the perspective of the overall strategic situation. In the end, all the princes under the world returned to Han and rebelled against Chu, in fact, even if it was the final state of Naxi Chu, it was not too much to say that it was "embattled".
Compared with Liu Bang, Xiang Yu is obviously an extremely straightforward person, but it is precisely because of his personality that it is difficult for him to attract talents. Throughout the period of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's talents were compared, and at this point, Xiang Yu was undoubtedly completely defeated.
There are generals who have the talent but no ability of the emperor, and this is most prominently reflected in the point of good advice. To become an emperor, not only requires his own ability, but more importantly, how to use talent, and this is also the key to Liu Bang's ability to attract talents. Imagine, as a talent, if your opinions are always taken as a side note, how can you realize your own value and how to work for it.
Xiang Yu has seven sins: The first is to be violent and unkind, and to kill innocents indiscriminately. The most famous is that Pit Qin lowered 200,000 pawns and set fire to the Appang Palace. In fact, at the beginning of the uprising, he personally killed Huiji Taishou, who was supposed to cooperate with him against Qin tyranny.
The second is treachery and non-keeping of promises. Originally, together with Liu Bang and other princes, king Huai of Chu was honored as the righteous emperor, and whoever entered Guanzhong first was the king. However, he used his military strength to kill Emperor Yi and exclude Liu Bang, who had entered Guanzhong to destroy Qin, and claimed to be the king of Western Chu. The third is small-mindedness and miserliness. Reluctant to motivate his subordinates, he gave his brother who was born and died an official as if he wanted his life, and he was reluctant to give it away when the big seal of the reward was polished in his hand until the edges and corners were gone.
The fourth is indecisiveness, the benevolence of women. The fifth is to be self-conscious and cannot be consulted. Xiang Yu is a typical self-righteous person, who can't listen to the opinions of others, misses countless good opportunities, and finally fails, and performs the tragic drama of the overlord Bieji. The sixth is to shirk responsibility and die without repentance. Even before committing suicide in Wujiang, he did not repent, reflecting on his own problems and shortcomings, but instead resented the heavens, and even Wuqima had to be responsible for his failure!
The seventh is that they will not use people, and the people will rebel and leave. Xiang Yu's narrow conceit made those who followed him feel useless, so cattle people like Chen Ping and Han Xin abandoned the dark and went to the side of their opponent Liu Bang. There was only one adviser left, Fan Zeng, but Xiang Yu did not listen to his good words at all, but because Fan Zeng was against his childish approach, he put this loyal old minister to death.
In short, Xiang Yu can be said to be a person whose shortcomings and advantages are equally prominent, he is brave and superior but shorter than his wisdom, he is good at the battle front but lacks strategic vision, his personality is straightforward but difficult to tolerate, he has the talent of a general but does not have the ability of an emperor. Throughout Xiang Yu's life, he became famous because of the war and died because of the battle, he divided the world and embarked on the peak of his life, and also lost everything because of the rebellion of the princes.
