Liu Bang didn't dare to go head-to-head with Xiang Yu, and used 8 words to refuse, and now it has become a mantra!

Under the leadership of Qin Shi Huang, the state of Qin unified the seven kingdoms and became the overlord of the world. But at the end of the Qin Dynasty, eunuchs were in power and controlled the entire government and the opposition. At that time, in order to build the Great Wall, guard the south of the Lingnan, and repair the Afang Palace, the people were constantly labored. Not only the people, but even the officials in the palace are also full of mourning. At this time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched a peasant uprising, and countless peasants began to oppose tyranny. In the end, it was the armies of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu who eliminated the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and the struggle between the two for the ruling power of the Central Plains was inextricably linked. We all know that Xiang Yu is very brave, he wanted to fight alone with Liu Bang at that time, but Liu Bang did not dare to fight, and said 8 words that are now used by many people.

At the beginning, Liu Bang's strength was very different from Xiang Yu, and he couldn't compete at all. During the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's army won a complete victory over Qin's 400,000 troops and killed 200,000 Qin soldiers. This battle made Xiang Yu's prestige spread all over the world, and after Xianyang occupied, he used a fire to burn the magnificent Afang Palace at that time.

Speaking of the peak of Xiang Yu's power, it should be the period when he divided the princes of the Eighteen Roads. At that time, Xiang Yu's voice was so great that no one could see it. However, Liu Bang at that time was far from Xiang Yu in terms of strength, but he took the lead in occupying Xianyang. At that time, he was afraid of fighting with Xiang Yu, so he retreated to Xichuan, not daring to call himself the king of Guanzhong.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony soon began. With Xiang Yu's strength, of course, he quickly gained the upper hand, and it was effortless. Although Han Xin followed Liu Bang's side to give advice, Xiang Yu was not only good at kung fu, but also not inferior in military leadership. Although Liu Bang led an army of 500,000 to fight Xiang Yu in a decisive battle, he was beaten to pieces by Xiang Yu's army of only 30,000, and Liu Bang was almost captured alive by Xiang Yu and escaped.

In 204 AD, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were consumed again, but the reinforcements were blocked by Liu Bang's team, and at this time Xiang Yu had not much food and grass in his hands, so he wanted to fight quickly. You must know that Xiang Yu is a very arrogant person, and he generally does not take the opinions of military advisors, and always feels that he is invincible in the world. So at that time, he said that he would fight alone with Liu Bang, and whoever won would be the leader.

How could Liu Bang beat Xiang Yu, so he said the eight words that have been passed down to this day: It is better to fight wits than strength. Translated into our colloquial language, it is: a gentleman does not use his hands. It's not that Liu Bang is playing a scoundrel, Xiang Yu's bravery is well known, who can be one-on-one with him. Therefore, people should not be too arrogant and listen to the opinions of others. Although Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang gathered all the forces that succumbed to Xiang Yu and finally turned defeat into victory.
