What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Xiang Yu treated his subordinates kindly, why did the talents under his account continue to be lost? In fact, on this issue, Han Xin has the most right to speak, and the biggest talent that Xiang Yu missed in this life should be Han Xin.
After Han Xin's departure, the earliest defection was Xiang Liang, after Xiang Liang's death, Han Xin belonged to Xiang Yu, and in Xiang Yu's camp, he should be a langzhong, and Langzhong should be an alternate official, waiting until there was a lack of generals or officials to fill the vacancy.
Han Xin was a small role in Xiang Yu's camp, did not get Xiang Yu's affirmation and reuse, he had proposed strategies to Xiang Yu many times, but they were not adopted by Xiang Yu, and Han Xin, who was unknown under Xiang Yu, eventually turned to Liu Bang, and later under Xiao He's recommendation, Han Xin was used by Liu Bang.
It was with the assistance of Han Xin that Liu Bang "repaired the path of Ming and secretly crossed Chen Cang", confusing Xiang Yu into successfully occupying Guanzhong and seizing the capital that could compete with Xiang Yu for the world.
In the crucial decisive battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, it was also Han Xin who sent troops to help Liu Bang completely defeat Xiang Yu and end the fairy tale of Xiang Yu's invincibility, it can be said that missing Han Xin was Xiang Yu's biggest failure in terms of knowing people.
However, when Han Xin evaluated Xiang Yu's strength when he had just surrendered to Liu Bang, Han Xin thought that Liu Bang was inferior to Xiang Yu, but he said Xiang Yu's shortcomings in one word.
Han Xin said that Xiang Yu could not let go of the appointment of a virtuous general, although he was very kind to people on the surface and spoke softly, if the soldiers were sick, they would even sympathize with the tears and share their food with them.
However, once it came time for his subordinates to be rewarded for their merits, Xiang Yu was reluctant to do so, and Han Xin satirized Xiang Yu for smoothing out the edges and corners of the official seal, and was not willing to give it to others.
In fact, this is the benevolence of women, in the Northeast dialect is to cut, good at giving small profits to the head of the fly, and really when it comes to the time when it should be rewarded, it is reluctant.
At that time, when the princes rebelled against Qin, there was an agreement that whoever entered Guanzhong first was the king of Guanzhong, and as a result, Liu Bang entered Guanzhong first, but Xiang Yu was reluctant to make him the king of Guanzhong and finally the king of Hanzhong, which led to Liu Bang's dissatisfaction, in fact, Xiang Yu also had problems with the division of other princes.
After Han Xin destroyed the State of Qi, Xiang Yu was very panicked, and once sent someone to win over Han Xin, and the price tag was also very high, which meant that three points of the world were given to Han Xin, but Han Xin said, "I have served the king for many years, and the official is just a langzhong, but a man who is a stubborn man." No one listened to my words, and no one used my plans, so I left Chu and returned to Han.
Liu Bang, the king of Han, gave me the seal of the general, asked me to lead tens of thousands of people, undressed for me to wear, divided food for me to eat, and obeyed me, so I have today's achievements. The King of Han was so close and trusting of me that I would not have a good result if I betrayed him. I will not rebel until I die, please thank king Xiang for my kindness. ”
Although later people said that Han Xin rejected Xiang Yu and did not betray Liu Bang, laying the groundwork for his later tragic death, in fact, if you look closely at Han Xin's sentence, it can be understood that Xiang Yu is still unreliable and not as generous as Liu Bang.
At that time, in order to mobilize Han Xin to go south, Liu Bang directly demarcated the previous Qi land for Han Xin, sealing Han Xin as the King of Qi and Feng Peng Yue as the King of Liang, and under the joint attack of Han Xin and Peng Yue, Xiang Yu was finally defeated and killed.
This is the gap, although later Liu Bang eliminated the king with a different surname, it was also by virtue of his own ability, on the contrary, Xiang Yu was not even willing to divide the seal, let alone what happened after Xiang Yu took charge of the world.
Xiang Yu's set of eating and living with soldiers, can only attract the lowest level of soldiers, and can not attract the ideal general, that is to say, Xiang Yu as a general is decent, but in the political performance is too naïve, so although Xiang Yu can fight, but there are not many people who believe in him, Liu Bang Although the military achievements are not high, but know how to unite and cooperate, know how to provide a stage for others, pay more attention to team building, this is the important difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in the head of pulling people.
