Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

The tragedy of Xiang Yu is that he is not a person who uses people, but he is in the wrong position of employing people, he is a usable person, but he occupies a position of employment, this is the tragedy of Xiang Yu, and it is also a historical tragedy.

But Xiang Yu's courage to break the cauldron and sink the boat, the shameless sense of repentance of Jiangdong's fathers, the tragedy of the overlord Farewell Concubine, before he killed himself, the BMW gave the pavilion chief, and the head was sent to the deceased. In other words, Xiang Yu's personality charm has always been praised by future generations.

We should recognize Xiang Yu's meritorious deeds in the struggle against Qin and extermination of Qin, and the mistakes made by Xiang Yu in the course of his defeat, including the weaknesses in his political and military character, deserve to be taught a lesson forever.

He was defeated by not following Fan Zeng's advice, Fan Zeng has always regarded Liu Bang as the biggest rival for Xiang Yu's world, and he once led the army to attack Liu Bang's troops and kill Liu Bang. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, believed that killing Liu Bang was an unjust act, and it also violated the covenant he had made with Liu Bang, and Liu Bang was not enough to pose a threat to his seizure of the world. After the failure of Hongmen Yan's plan to assassinate Liu Bang, the far-sighted Fan Zeng had already seen that Xiang Yu's general trend had gone, and issued a message of "The erector is not enough and the plan, and the one who wins the king of the world will be the prince of Pei." Exclamation.

Liu Bang's advisor, Chen Ping, discovered their discord and randomly asked Liu Bang to use a discordant scheme, and he tried to weaken Xiang Yu's power by creating contradictions and disagreements between Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng. It is said that Chen Ping suggested to Liu Bang that he send an envoy to persuade Fan Zeng to leave Xiang Yu's camp. This plan succeeded, and Fan Zeng left Xiang Yu, but did not join Liu Bang.

In this way, Xiang Yu doesn't even have a person around him to give advice, how can he fight Liu Bang, who is surrounded by strategists.

In the end, in the battle of Qixia, Liu Bang adopted the correct tactical strategy, listened to the strategy of the strategist, and used the strategy of ambush on all sides to surround Xiang Yu's army. Eventually, Xiang Yu was forced to retreat, and his army was heavily surrounded by Han troops. In desperation, Xiang Yu and his cronies fled to the Wujiang River, but were eventually forced to kill themselves.
