Watch the flowers blossom and fall, look at the clouds cirrus cloud Shu, the history and culture are broad and profound, immediately set off to understand the history with Xiaobian!
Only a dozen years after Qin unification, it came to the chaotic world, and this time it was Xiang Yu, who was called a "rogue", from the result of the battle, Liu Bang finally defeated Xiang Yu by his own strength, which was indeed very powerful, but there is an inexplicable thing here, that is, Liu Bang's biggest enemy Xiang Yu, he committed suicide! To know the situation at that time, Xiang Yu could actually escape, but Xiang Yu chose to kill himself by the river, so what was the real reason for Xiang Yu's self-destruction?
Xiang Yu roared all his life "faceless to see Jiangdong father and elder" after committing suicide, this record comes from the "History", according to the "History", Xiang Yu after the breakthrough, there are only a few dozen people left around (there are also hundreds of people), seeing that the eight thousand disciples and soldiers who came out with him to fight have long been few, so they are very sad and angry, and killed themselves by the river, but according to later research, this record is untrue.
Why are you talking about it? According to Sima Qian's recording method, his record of various things is hierarchical, that is to say, different people have different pages in his records, and there is a different person here, he is Xiang Yu. It should be known that although Xiang Yu is known as the "overlord", he did not complete what the "king" should do, that is to say, he can only be a prince at most, not a "king", but in Sima Qian's record, the record name of Xiang Yu is "Xiang Yu Benji".
Many people do not know what kind of situation this is, according to Sima Qian's naming comparison, the use of "Benji" to record Xiang Yu is to put Xiang Yu and the emperor of the Warring States Seven Xiong in the same position, from this point can be inferred that Xiang Yu was beautified in Sima Qian's hands, and he did this for two reasons.
1. Sima Qian was hostile to the Han Dynasty
Sima Qian lived in the era of Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Wu of Han did a very excessive thing to Sima Qian, that is, he imposed a "palace punishment" on Sima Qian, that is, to make Sima Qian a eunuch, so Sima Qian hated Emperor Wu of Han very much, and incidentally also hated Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
2. Worship Xiang Yu
On the other hand, because of the reasons for the palace punishment, Sima Qian especially liked, or especially admired those who were very masculine, and in that era, the person who was particularly masculine was Xiang Yu, so in the historical records, Sima Qian put the story of Xiang Yu in the "Benji", putting him and many emperors on one level.
According to this logic, Sima Qian will definitely beautify Xiang Yu, and the reason why Xiang Yu did not return to Jiangdong is that "there is no face to see Jiangdong's father and elder" there is also a situation of beautification, so what is the real reason why Xiang Yu does not return to Jiangdong? In fact, there are three main points.
1. Can't go back
As we all know, Xiang Yu once had countless times to kill Liu Bang, and one of the ones that almost succeeded was the Hongmen Banquet, in which Fan Zeng had created countless opportunities to kill Liu Bang, but in the end, not only was Liu Bang escaped, but even accepted Liu Bang's principle of peaceful coexistence.
But Liu Bang is different, Liu Bang is very clear about Xiang Yu's strength, but also very clear about his own strength, now he has a huge force, there are military generals who can fight with Xiang Yu, in order to maintain the current situation, if one day Xiang Yu figured out this truth and began to recruit talents, then Liu Bang is definitely not his opponent, so after surrounding Xiang Yu under the sea, it is absolutely not going to give Xiang Yu the opportunity to make a comeback. According to different records, Xiang Yu's remaining soldiers at that time would not exceed two thousand at most, even if Xiang Yu was strong, Liu Bang wanted to kill Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang to a large extent, at that time, gave Xiang Yu a face, let Xiang Yu commit suicide.
2. Protect Jiangdong's fathers and elders
Think about it from another angle, if Xiang Yu can go back, then Liu Bang will definitely follow Xiang Yu to Jiangdong, before and after the time of up to half a day, and at this time, even if Xiang Yu has a lot of prestige in Jiangdong, then only half a day can not accumulate much power, that is to say, Liu Bang can effortlessly slaughter Jiangdong, but if Xiang Yu does not go back, then the people of Jiangdong will not be killed.
3. Die a little crisply
The last point is also the most important point, that is, Xiang Yu's death is doomed to escape, according to the records, at that time Xiang Yu had the opportunity to board a boat to cross the river, but when Xiang Yu was preparing to cross the river, Liu Bang shouted out a reward for Xiang Yu, as long as he caught Xiang Yu, even a "part" of Xiang Yu, he could also get a super bounty and a mouth-watering title, and at this time Xiang Yu also understood that even if he returned to Jiangdong, he would also face endless pursuit, and someone in Jiangdong might kill him to receive the bounty. Instead of night and night to prevent being killed, it is better to have a hard time.
Come with the wind, go with the wind. Recalling the past, the memory of history lingers. Today's historical journey has come to an end, and we look forward to seeing you all in the next issue!
