The danger of the Hongmen Feast is written, and in fact, the end is already doomed before it has begun. Because the Hongmen Banquet was not initiated by Xiang Yu, but proposed by Liu Bang on his own initiative, his purpose was to go to the door to apologize, and since people came to the door to admit their mistakes, how could Xiang Yu, a hero with the benevolence of a woman, kill Liu Bang, who had a sincere attitude? This was very similar to Xiang Yu's treatment of Zhang Handan who surrendered. Zhang Handan is different from Liu Bang, Zhang Handan is sincerely surrendering, while Liu Bang is hidden.
Xiang Yu and his uncle Xiang Liang followed the advice of the strategist Fan Zeng when they raised an army in Jiangdong, called themselves Wu Xinjun, and established Xiong Xin as the King of Chu Huai to win the hearts of the people. Xiong Xin is a very powerful character, not willing to be a puppet, first Xiong Xin sent his cronies Song Yi to seize Xiang Yu's military power, did not expect That Xiang Yu was a ruthless man, directly counterattacked in Anyang, killed Song Yi, Xiong Xin lost control of Xiang Yu, and later because of the fear of being killed by Xiang Yu, he agreed with anti-Qin armed forces throughout the country, "the first to enter Guanzhong is the king" After Liu Bang entered Guanzhong first, Xiong Xin instructed Liu Bang to establish Liu Bang as the king of Guanzhong according to the original agreement, and tried his best to support Liu Bang.
When Fan Zeng let Xiang Zhuang go inside to play with the sword, he took advantage of the opportunity to kill Liu Bang. However, zhang Liang sensed it, and immediately went outside to shout Fan Huan was also ready at all times. In this way, it gave Liu Bang a great opportunity to buffer. If Liu Bang had secretly disposed of Liu Bang the moment he entered the door, there would be no such thing. No wonder Chairman Mao had "advised the remaining brave to chase after the poor and the poor, and not to become a famous and academic overlord." " verse.
In general, it was a pity that Xiang Yu did not kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, but this was not the reason for his later failure, after all, not everyone could see the future from the perspective of God. Later, there were several times when Xiang Yu could have killed Liu Bang, but they were all run away by this True Dragon Heavenly Son, which can be said to be the destiny of heaven at that time, and it is not something that people can forcibly change. Therefore, xiang Yu said that the heavens were going to kill him, not his crime of fighting, but also a certain truth.
