In the long river of history, there are always some amazing stories, and today we will travel back in time to the last years of the Qin Dynasty to witness the legendary duel between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, two heroic heroes. On the big stage of history, their fates are completely different, what kind of thrilling competition is this?
First, let's take a look at the personal backgrounds of these two protagonists. Xiang Yu was born in a nobleman, and after being a famous general, his family is rich, his strength is strong, and his own combat effectiveness is invincible. On the contrary, Liu Bang was born in a family of traffickers, with an ordinary family background, and it can even be said that he is poor, and his personal combat effectiveness is relatively weak. It seems that Xiang Yu has the advantage, but history reveals a different trend.
The key to Liu Bang's success in seizing the world lies in his ability to use people. Although his personal fighting skills are average, he knows how to listen to the advice of others and does not ostracize others because of his background or other reasons. Talented people, Liu Bang can see at a glance, and reuse a large number of elites at that time, such as Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Xiao He, etc. These were originally generals under Xiang Yu, but because of Liu Bang's good use, they all joined forces, making Liu Bang gradually emerge in strength.
Secondly, Liu Bang is good at matching people's hearts. He has a deep understanding of human nature and understands that his subordinates follow him mainly for fame and fortune. In each distribution of loot, Liu Bang always shared generously with his subordinates, but he collected less. This kind of generosity and generosity made his subordinates feel that it was a beautiful thing to follow Liu Bang, so they were dead set on him. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, was relatively bold, which led to the loss of popular support.
In addition, Liu Bang's self-knowledge also contributed to it. He has an objective assessment of himself: "In the midst of strategizing, I am not as good as Zhang Liang in the decisive victory thousands of miles away; I am not as good as Xiao He in governing the country, pacifying the public, supplying logistics, and ensuring the grain route; and I am not as good as Han Xin in military command, leading an army of one million, and winning the battle and attacking." This self-knowledge allowed Liu Bang to find the right talent to assist him at critical moments, so as to gain an advantage in politics and military affairs.
In the end, Liu Bang adopted some "unscrupulous means" in the process of competing for the world. In the early days of the war, he was almost unable to form an army and was in danger. In a crucial battle, in order to save his life, he even abandoned his relatives and fled alone. And when Xiang Yu threatened to kill Liu Bang's relatives, Liu Bang actually claimed that the two of them had worshipped, and his father was Xiang Yu's father, so if he wanted to kill him, he would kill them together. Such a method made Liu Bang gradually stand out in the troubled times.
To sum up, the story of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang is a very legendary chapter in Chinese history. Liu Bang relied on making good use of talents, matching people's hearts, self-knowledge and some unscrupulous means to successfully counterattack and seize the world. And Xiang Yu was heroic and heroic, but he was finally defeated in the waves of fate. The lesson of this history is that life is full of uncertainties, and if we use wisdom well, we will be more likely to counterattack. On this treacherous historical stage, let us pay tribute to these two heroes and praise their legendary stories!
