Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem called "Title Wujiang Pavilion": "Victorious and defeated soldiers are unexpected, and Bao Shame is a boy." Jiangdong's sons are multi-talented, and their comeback is unknown. "It's about Xiang Yu killing himself in Wujiang."
The author's attitude is to cross the river, recruit another batch of Jiangdong disciples, and make a comeback, and the final result is not certain! This is an appraisal of Xiang Yu's self-destruction of Wujiang, which is a pity, but this is only a kind of bookish atmosphere of the poet, and he has not understood the general trend of historical development at all.
At that time, the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the people's resentment boiled, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang set up a fox-singing bonfire, so the slogan of "Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng" resounded all over the world, and anti-Qin forces in various places rose rapidly. Dead Qin! Destroy the Qin state. And then what? Many people have not thought about this problem, but some people have thought about it, these people are the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and they want to restore the division and division of the Six Kingdoms by overthrowing the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, that is, to turn back the wheel of history. Is this feasible? Let go of this question first.
Looking at Xiang Yu again, he has not studied well since he was a child, saying that culture is useless, and he must learn the art of war, but his studies are not refined, and the only feature is that he is brave and martial, with ribs and ribs, and infinite strength, he is indeed a fierce general, and he has also joined the anti-Qin team.
But his understanding of war was to kill people, so he did a lot of inhumane things, first killing Song Yi, which was his direct leader, who was killed by him, which set a very bad precedent in the army, and gained a very bad reputation among the generals who opposed the Qin uprising at that time, he also killed 200,000 Qin pawns, and also killed The King of Chuhuai, Xiongxin.
Later, at the Hongmen banquet, he committed the problem of the benevolence of the woman and did not kill Liu Bang, causing Liu Bang to escape. All this was a weakness in his character, he did not dare to deny his own wrong ideas, did not dare to accept the correct opinions of others, liked to charge alone, and in the end he still did so, telling his soldiers to break the siege, cut down the generals, and raise the flag, he did it, but his troops suffered casualties.
Xiang Yu is an excellent general, but not an excellent commander, he can only be commanded by an excellent commander to charge and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but he stands in the position of commander, he will not think about problems comprehensively, will not accept the opinions of others, and will not unite and lead the generals to win victory, so Xiang Yu standing in the position of commander is self-mistaken and wrong.
Xiang Yu was still a careful man, every time after the battle, he wanted to give the meritorious soldiers a knighthood, and his subordinates carved those official seals and handed them to him, but he was reluctant to issue them to those meritorious soldiers, and he had been rubbing them in his hands, so that the edges and corners of the official seals carved in stone or wood were worn out and not issued to others, so he said that he was a narrow-minded person.
Liu Bang was different, at the critical moment, Han Xin wrote a letter to Liu Bang to be a "fake King of Qi" which is the meaning of acting as the King of Qi, Liu Bang was annoyed in front of the emissary, thinking why Han Xin was a fake King of Qi, so he slapped the table and scolded, "How can Han Xin be a fake King of Qi?" Zhang Liang quickly gave Liu Bang a look. Liu Bang immediately changed his tune to "take it seriously" and immediately made Han Xin the King of Qi.
Han Xin was immediately pulled over by Liu Bang and became the main force of Liu Bang's death of Qin and Chu. Or liu Bang summed up his successful experience after pacifying the four seas and said a sentence: "In the midst of the husband's planning and planning, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I am not as good as the sub-house; the town and the country, care for the people, give the feed, and do not stop the grain road, I am not as good as Xiao He; even the army of a million, the battle will be won, the attack must be won, I am not as good as Han Xin." These three are all masters, I can use them, so I take the world. ”
Xiang Yu had only one Fan Zeng but could not use it, so he failed. Xiang Yu's failure is a failure of character, not a failure of strategy and tactics, Xiang Yu's character is the character of a tactician, dare to fight and win, but just self-use, it is difficult to achieve a big cause.
If Xiang Yu did not kill himself and returned to Jiangdong, his father and fellow villagers would not blame him, and gave him support for Jiangdong's disciples, he would still make the mistakes he had made before, or he would lose in the struggle, because his personality had not changed.
Finally, let me say that the reason why the great uprising at the end of Qin could not restore the situation of the division of the six kingdoms, and the restoration of the six kingdoms was to push a unified China into the abyss of division and war; this was unpopular, and there would certainly be figures who unified the six countries, so the great peasant uprising at the end of Qin could only further promote China's reunification rather than division.
