In the peasant uprising at the end of Qin, Xiang Liang and Chen Sheng were more qualified to succeed than Liu Bang, but they both withdrew from the stage of history in advance!
In the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, the one who is more qualified to win than Liu Bang is the overlord Xiang Yu, the genius god of war Han Xin, and Peng Yue and Yingbu. But they all ended up in vain.
History chose Liu Bang and made him a generation of emperors from a cloth suit! This makes many people unable to understand and unconvinced. For example, when the thinker Ruan Zhi of the Three Kingdoms Period came to the ancient battlefield of Guangwu Mountain in the Chu-Han War, he once sighed: There is no hero at the time, which makes Shuzi famous.
Many people attribute Liu Bang's success to his good luck. Good luck is of course very important to success, but Liu Bang's success is by no means as simple as good luck. Liu Bang's body has a lot of excellent qualities, which are beyond the reach of everyone! This is the secret to his success!
First, Liu Bang had the spirit of open-mindedness at critical moments
At the beginning of Liu Bang's uprising, within his clique, including Xiao He, Cao Shan, and others, they did not dare to lead the uprising, for fear that if the uprising failed, they would be exterminated by the Nine Tribes. However, at the critical moment, Liu Bang had some open-minded spirit, stepped forward in the ranks of the uprising, dared to take this lead, and dared to risk the annihilation of the clan. This kind of bold trying and bold adventurism is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but it is a quality that a leader-level figure must have.
Second, Liu Bang was confident all his life, even pretentious
Liu Bang is a legendary figure. He has been pretentious and confident since he was a child, and has always felt that he is a dragon species.
Legend has it that Liu Bang was born when his mother Liu Mi mated with a dragon, and there are 72 black moles on his left leg.
In the "History of Gao Zu Benji", it is said that "Gao Zu was a man, long and long-faced, beautiful beard, and seventy-two black children on the left side." "The ancients respected the left, and the seventy-two were even more honorable. Seventy-two represents the highest level of the five elements of yin and yang.
Because of this, Liu Bang was confident all his life, confident that he would eventually be able to do a big cause that would expose the world!
The "Chronicle of Gao Zu Benji" records: Gao Zu Chang Xianyang, throughout, Guan Qin Emperor, Ran Tai Xie: "Oh, the big husband should be like this!" ”
This passage means that Liu Bang once served in Xianyang. Once, after Liu Bang saw the mighty and majestic field of Qin Shi Huang Yunyou, he looked up at the sky and sighed: "Alas, the big husband should be like this!" From here, it can be seen that Liu Bang is a person with great ambitions.
Third, Liu Bang often lost battles, but defeated but not collapsed
Liu Bang has often lost battles since the beginning of the uprising, but he has not collapsed, always becoming more and more frustrated, and repeatedly rising up. He can always seek development in adversity and find breakthroughs in setbacks.
At the beginning of the uprising, he experienced the betrayal of Yongya. He actively sought help from Xiang Liang, borrowed troops from the Xiang Liang clique, and defeated Yongya.
In the Chu-Han War, he was often beaten by Xiang Yu and fled. In Peng Cheng's great defeat, he even captured his wife and father by Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu took Liu Bang's father as a hostage and threatened Liu Bang to surrender.
The Zizhi Tongjian records: "I and Yu Jubei were appointed to be the king of Huai, about brothers, and Wu Weng is Ruo Weng; I will want to cook, and I will share a piece of the pie!"
Liu Bang used rogue means to deal with Xiang Yu's rogue means, so that Xiang Yu had no choice but to spare Liu Bang's father.
No matter when and where Liu Bang is, he will never compromise, and the spirit of defeat and not collapse is also something that ordinary people do not have!
Fourth, Liu Bang has a strategic vision, is good at sacrificing local interests, and controls the overall situation
Liu Bang was an excellent strategist. He can control the situation from the overall situation of the war and actively lay out the layout. On the one hand, he entangled with Xiang Yu on the main battlefield; on the other hand, he arranged for Han Xin to open up a new base area in Qidi. He also actively co-opted the forces of The Yingbu and Pengyue cliques to form a united front to jointly deal with Xiang Yu.
When confronting Xiang Yu at Mount Guangwu, although on the main battlefield, Liu Bang was partially weak - Han was weak and Chu Qiang; but from the overall situation of the war, Xiang Yu was already in a weak position - Chu was weak and Han Qiang! Han Xin, Yingbu, and Peng Yue's regiments were already encircling the Xiang yu group!
This is where Liu Bang's cleverness lies!
Fifth, Liu Bang has a pair of wise eyes and is good at recognizing and employing people
A wise leader must have a pair of eyes that are good at knowing people. Han Gaozu Liu Bang is a master who is good at recognizing and employing people. Xiao He was good at government affairs, so let him do logistical work in the rear. Han Xin, Fan Duo, Zhou Bo and others were good at fighting, so let them lead the troops to the front and charge forward. Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are good at giving advice, so let them be military masters.
There are no useless people in the world. As long as they are arranged in the right place and give full play to their strengths, they can achieve an optimal combination of talents and form an invincible force. Liu Bang is good at recognizing and employing people, and has brought his talents to the extreme!
Sixth, Liu Bang was a generous and benevolent elder with tolerance.
Liu Bang was a generous and benevolent elder, who did not care about previous suspicions and had the capacity to tolerate people. His charisma is also the key to recruiting talents from all over the world.
Zhang Liang and he saw each other as they were. As early as when Liu Bang was the head of the pavilion, Xiao He, as an old boss, Cao Shen was very appreciative of Liu Bang. Han Xin and Chen Ping also fled from the hostile Xiang Yu camp to liu Bang.
When King Huai of Chu and the generals agreed to "enter Guanzhong as king first", he believed that Xiang Yu was strong and cold, while Liu Bang was tolerant and generous, and had the style of an elder. Therefore, Liu Bangxi was given the opportunity to enter Guanzhong.
After Wang Ling defected to Liu Bang, Xiang Yu threatened Wang Ling's mother. Wang Ling's mother believed that "the King of Han is the elder". The son's assistance to Liu Bang was the right choice. In order not to drag her son down, she would rather draw her sword and kill herself.
Liu Bang is a great miracle in Chinese history. He destroyed Qin in three years, chu in four years, and successfully reached the peak of that era in only seven years. This is inseparable from his own superiority!
