There were many dynasties in ancient China, and the change of dynasties was a common thing in ancient times, after all, no dynasty could last forever. Therefore, in the chaotic world of war, a large number of cattle people will emerge. They are either wise and talented strategists or invincible warriors. Their appearance often influences the war situation and even becomes the master of an era. The following four can be said to be the most regrettable four people in ancient times, who could have easily sat on the throne, but they all failed because of a small matter. Only one step away from unifying the world, but the last step was not taken well.
Fourth place: Cao Cao. When it comes to Cao Cao, everyone will certainly not feel strange. Whether it is the history of zhengyi or the interpretation, the narrative of Cao Cao is not much. Cao Cao was a true tyrant during the Three Kingdoms period. From the beginning of the army, to the defeat of Lü Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, and then to the unification of the north. His strength is obvious to all. At that time, Cao Cao blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes. In terms of its strength and influence, he could have replaced it. But the "justice" in his heart did not allow him to do so.
Later, after the Battle of Hanzhong, Liu Bei's power had just risen, and Cao Cao could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue him and completely destroy him, but Cao Cao did not attack, so Liu Bei survived the difficult period and had the opportunity to divide the world later. After that, Cao Cao was completely out of touch with the emperor who unified the world. Not only that, but in the end, all the efforts were also sent to the Sima family, which was a great pity.
Third place: Huo Guang. The most famous courtier in the Western Han Dynasty, located at the head of the Qilin Pavilion. After the death of Emperor Wu of Han, Huo Guang became a chancellor. As far as his influence in the court was concerned, he, like Cao Cao in later generations, could replace him. However, the so-called Orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty allowed Huo Guang to establish a new king. Therefore, Huo Guang found Liu He, and later Liu Qing. Prop up them to become the new kings, while they are still behind the scenes. So did Huo Guang have the heart of an emperor in the end? There must be, but who doesn't want to be emperor? It was only because of the small matter of not being able to wipe his face that Huo Guang lost the opportunity to sit firmly on the throne.
Second place: Li Zicheng. In the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng occupied the first credit, which should not be questioned by anyone. After the Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself, everyone felt that the emperor must be Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng was the most trivial thing at this time, which led to the failure of the achievement. That was Li Zicheng's subordinate, who insulted Chen Yuanyuan. As a result, "Chong Guan was angry and turned red", Wu Sangui turned against him, and cooperated with Dolgun to defeat Li Zicheng. Since then, Li Zicheng's efforts have become the wedding dress of the Qing Dynasty.
First place: Xiang Yu. The god of feathers is brave and unique throughout the ages. In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, among the heroes of the chaotic world, only Xiang Yu could be admired. At that time, the princes of all walks of life who rose up at that time were naturally the most powerful on Xiang Yu's side. However, the Chu overlord Hongmen Feast spared Liu Bang, a villain, resulting in being trapped in the Wujiang River and surrounded by songs. It is a pity that the jiangshan that is instinctively within reach has also fallen into the hands of Liu Bang.
