Stories about Liu Bang and Xiang Yu

After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu claimed to be the overlord of the West Chu and named Liu Bang Hanwang. Since 206 BC, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang have been fighting for the emperor for nearly four years, which is called "Chu-Han War" in history. At the beginning of the war, Xiang Yu was strong, with 400 thousand troops; Liu bang has only 65438+ ten thousand people.

But Liu Bang is concerned with people's hearts. When he entered Xianyang, he announced the abolition of Qin's harsh laws, and "made three chapters" for the people-the murderer was put to death, and the person who injured and stole things was convicted; Liu Bang also attached great importance to talents and got help from Xiao He, Sean, Han Xin and others.

In addition, Liu bang has a rich Guanzhong as a base area, so the Han army led by Liu bang has changed from weak to strong. On the contrary, Xiang Yu was arrogant, did not listen to opinions, and let the soldiers burn, kill and plunder, which greatly lost the hearts of the people.

In 202 BC, Liu Bang led an army to attack Xiang Yu and surrounded Xiang Yu's Chu army under Gai (now Anhui). In the evening, Xiang Yu was very surprised to hear Chu songs coming from all directions in the barracks of the Han army. He thought that the territory of Chu was occupied by the Han army. Xiang Yu sadly bid farewell to Yu Ji (the concubine of Xiang Yu) and led more than 800 cavalry to break through and flee.

The Han army is in hot pursuit and the situation is very critical. Xiang Yu was forced to commit suicide in Wujiang (now northeast Anhui County). After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, he established the Han Dynasty, with its capital Chang 'an (northwest of present-day An) and the country name "Han", which was called the Western Han Dynasty in history. Liu bang is the emperor gaozu.

The reason why Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang:

Liu bang is ruthless and Xiang Yu is affectionate. Xiang Yu is a descendant of the nobility, and he is the overlord of the Western Chu who can carry the tripod. Liu bang is a punk in Pei county and a common people. But the result of the contest between the two men is that Liu Bang knows how to do his duty well and his ministers are brilliant. Together, they finally defeated the mighty and arrogant Xiang Yu.

As an opponent, Xiang Yu was completely unaware of Liu Bang's power. Arrogant and conceited, headstrong, bent on his own way, made repeated mistakes, and finally defeated Wujiang River.

Liu Bang is a cruel man. In the process of escape, he threw his son and daughter out of the car three times, just trying to escape. Once someone around you suspects someone, he may be desperate to kill him.

One thing happened to Liu Bang in his later years, that is, after he fell ill, he suddenly became suspicious of Fan Kuai. Supposedly, Fan Kuai is the least easily suspected. Fan Kuai is Lv Hou's brother-in-law, and his relationship with Liu Bang is called "shouldering the burden" in the words of northerners. And at the hongmen banquet, it was Fan Kuai who stood up and saved liu bang's life-even he doubted people like Fan Kuai.

Liu Bang suddenly felt that Fan Kuai just wanted me to die, so he gave an order to Chen Ping: "Go to the army and behead me." -Chen Ping, you go to the army with my orders and immediately cut off Fan Kuai's head for me. It was not done in the end, because Liu Bang died later.
