In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the qin dynasty, founded the great Qin Dynasty, becoming the first unified feudal dynasty in Chinese history. However, the life of such a dynasty was extremely short, because of the fainting of Qin II, the great chaos in the world, and the peasant revolt at the end of Qin.
Among these rebel armies, two very outstanding rebel leaders emerged, namely Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, whom we know. Unfortunately, the fellow travelers who originally wanted to overthrow the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty eventually met each other. Just as the so-called "two tigers fight each other, there will be a wound", Xiang Yu was surrounded by military defeat, and finally drew his sword on the edge of the Wu River and killed himself.
Liu
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, disappeared in the rolling river of history in this way, which made people sigh endlessly. However, many descendants said that Xiang Yu could actually escape and make a comeback, so why did he have to commit suicide? Liu Bang, as the authority, actually discovered the real cause of this problem before his death.
Xiang Yu killed himself
The dispute between Chu and Han refers to the hegemonic struggle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Although Xiang Yu eventually killed himself, the name of the Western Chu Overlord was still loud in the rivers and lakes, and his combat bravery was rarely matched by few people. As the final winner, Liu Bang has become a real villain in the minds of many people. In order to win, he did whatever it took, and was rated as a treacherous person by posterity.
Xiang Yu and Yu Ji
In 202 BC, Liu Bang ascended the throne, but before he could enjoy the peaceful life of the world, he was busy with a series of troubles. He personally led a large army to quell the rebellion of the Yan king Zang Di, put down the rebellion of Xiang Yu's old department, conquered Han Wangxin and the Xiongnu, and personally conquered the Rebellion of Chen Feng. Liu Bang had not yet enjoyed the fruits of this battle to establish the world, so he led his troops to run around.
Xiao He, Liu Bang
Until 196 BC, The King of Huainan, Yingbu, rebelled, and Liu Bang, who was already ill, personally suppressed the rebellion, which lasted for 3 months, and finally suppressed the rebellion. However, during the suppression, Liu Bang was shot by the enemy, which made his health begin to deteriorate, and it was worse than a day.
However, Liu Bang, who had already entered his old age, dragged his sick body and not only had to face the betrayal of his old subordinate Lu Xuan, but also had to worry about family affairs. If he died, Liu Shijiangshan would probably be snatched away by Lü Hou, but at this time, he was powerless to stop it. It wasn't until before his death that he seemed to understand the reason for Xiang Yu's suicide.
Liu Bang, Zhang Liang
Before Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang, he originally met the chief of Wujiang Pavilion, and he advised Xiang Yu to get on the boat quickly and make a comeback after going to Jiangdong, but Xiang Yu refused. Xiang Yu said: Heaven wants to destroy me, what else do I do when I cross the river? None of the eight thousand jiangdong disciples have returned, and I still have the face to see Jiangdong's father and elder. After saying this, Xiang Yu committed suicide.
It is not difficult to see that in Xiang Yu's eyes, his failure is not because he is not good at fighting, but because the heavens want to destroy himself, so he thinks that even if he flees, it is useless. That being the case, instead of fleeing for a lifetime and being displaced, it is better to die generously, at least not in vain.
As an old rival, Liu Bang recalled his life at the last moment of his life, although he established the Han Dynasty, he fought to the end against power and glory and wealth all his life, and in the end he did not end up with a happy ending. But at this moment, he suddenly understood Xiang Yu, and since he was going to die, he chose to leave like a hero! What do you think about that?
