First of all, in terms of national strength, Liu Bang is better than Liu Beiqiang.
The topic is wrong. Liu Bei has no "big territory" at all.
Take Liu Bei's 2 19 as the king of Hanzhong, compared with Liu Bang's king of Hanzhong in 207 BC. The territory occupied by Liu Bei at that time included Yizhou, Hanzhong and Jingzhou (Nanjun, Wuling and Lingling). The territory occupied by Liu Bang includes Bashu (equivalent to Yizhou) and Hanzhong. Judging from the area, Liu Bei is indeed half Jingzhou more than Liu Bang.
However, the same site has suffered completely different degrees of damage.
Yizhou, which Liu Bei was in charge of, had less wars in the Three Kingdoms period as a whole, but in the more than 20 years before Liu Bei became king, there were horse riding rebellion of the Yellow Scarf Army, and there were also battles between Dongzhou soldiers and local people after Ada's death. Later, Liu Bei went to Shu in 2 1 1-2 14 and fought with Liu Zhang, which caused great losses. After that, Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong, and Yizhou ran out of manpower and material resources. Men go to the battlefield, women transport soldiers, and behind them is rebellion. Fortunately, Li Yan calmed it down. It can be said that by 2 19, the land of abundance had been exhausted by Liu Bei's years of war.
The land of Bashu acquired by Liu Bang was almost the earliest conquered area of Qin State. It was peaceful for a hundred years and was not affected by the great uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty. Give it to Liu bang intact. It's a fat oil.
Let alone goodbye to Hanzhong. Hanzhong in Liu Bang's hand, like Bashu, was occupied by Qin during Chu Huaiwang's period and there was no war for a hundred years. When Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong, he not only experienced two wars: Cao Cao destroyed Zhang Lu and Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao, but also Cao Cao moved all the people in Hanzhong, leaving a clearing for Liu Bei.
So although they all occupied the land of Bashu Hanzhong, the Bashu Hanzhong in Liu Bang's hand is much richer than that in Liu Bei's hand. This gap, even with half of Jingzhou of Liu Bei, cannot be bridged.
Secondly, from the opponent's point of view, there is a big gap between the two.
In 2 19, the territory occupied by Liu Bei was larger than that of Liu bang, and the strength was similar. But what is the opponent?
Liu Bei's main opponent was Cao Wei, who had occupied more than half of the world at that time and had strong forces. The only opponent Cao Wei faced was Sun Quan except Liu Bei. But sun quan is not enterprising. Cao Wei sent Zhang Liao and Cang Ba to intercept them in the southeast. Once Liu Bei attacked Cao Jun, Cao Cao could easily deploy the main force. What's more, Sun Quan kept staring at Jingzhou and was not completely friendly to Liu Bei-it was Sun Quan's backstab that led to the downfall of Guan Yu in history.
Liu Bang's main rival, Xiang Yu, did not control most of the world, but divided it into large and small 18 kingdoms. Although these kingdoms have pro-Xiang Yu forces, there are also many forces dissatisfied with Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu's own power is only Chu and nine counties in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Even the three kings of Chu and Qin, who belong to Xiang Yu, are not as strong as Cao Wei. And these other governors, on the contrary, bound the play of Xiang Yu. At the beginning of Liu Bang's army, Xiang Yu's main force was entangled with the group in Qi State, so Liu Bang was able to smoothly wipe out Sanqin. Sanqin is only equivalent to the land of Zhou Yong in Wei, which means that Zhuge Liang faced not the main force of Cao Zhen or Sima Yi, but only the local army led by Guo Huai, so it would be much easier to win.
In history, after Liu Bang became the king of Hanzhong for several months, he immediately sent troops to the Qinling Mountains. Taking advantage of Xiang Yu's attack on Qi, he quickly defeated Sanqin and occupied most of Guanzhong territory. At this time, Liu Bang's strength has far surpassed that of Liu Bei, reaching the level of Qin in the middle of the Warring States Period. Because of Liu Bang's own fame, once he occupied Sanqin, Hanwang and Nanyang in the Central Plains defected in succession, so he quickly gained a strategic advantage over Xiang Yu.
To put it simply, Liu Bang, who also occupied land in the West, was dealing with fragmented princes, while Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were dealing with the monolithic Cao Wei Empire.
In addition, Liu Bang and his relatives and friends are also better than Liu Bei and his gang in talent. Liu Bangcai is certainly much better than Liu Beiqiang. Liu Bang's generals, such as Han Xin, Cao Can, Zhou Bo and Fan Kuai, are also better than Guan Yu and Zhang Feiqiang under Liu Bei, especially the army god Han Xin, who can get rid of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Liu Bang's Sean and Chen Ping were super think tanks, while Liu Bei's Pang Tong and Fa Zheng died young. The only thing is that Zhuge Liang can fight Xiao He. Talent is not as good as people, so it is not surprising that Liu Bei lost in the end.
First of all, in terms of talents, the leading group headed by Liu Bang is much stronger than Liu Bei, and the division of labor is clear, and people do their best. Xiao He, who prepared food and grass, Sean, who gave advice, Chen Ping, who plotted against each other, Han Xin, who won thousands of miles, and Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Cao Can and other generals who fought against the enemy on the battlefield. This lineup is luxurious and extremely wise, and even put an end to the phenomenon that one person is multifunctional, physically and mentally exhausted and works overtime.
Looking at Liu Bei again, we can't even remember the names of other talents except Zhuge Liang and the Five Tiger Generals. Although Zhuge Liang compared himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi, we didn't explore how his strategy compared with Xiao He and Sean, but fighting was definitely not as good as Han Xin's, and it was such a talent, because one person was in charge of everything, and was finally consumed alive by Sima Yi.
Secondly, from the opponent's point of view, Liu Bang's main opponent is overlord Xiang Yu, and other governors failed to make it, so Han Xin led the army to clean up. The goal is single and the enemy is clear. As long as the tactics are in place, it is difficult to miss Xiang Yu's temper.
The lineup during the Three Kingdoms period was more complicated and changeable. Everyone knows that the triangle is stable, and so are the three countries. This structure is very stable. Because of interests, countries have been in a state of mutual containment to achieve a certain balance. At first, Cao Cao was powerful and formed an alliance with Wu to resist Wei, but the relationship between Shu and Wu was also very delicate, and friction often occurred. Sure enough, the good times didn't last long. Wu Wei's partner died in Guan Yu. Although this also has Guan Yu's own reasons, a state of balance has been broken. After Liu Bei set out to attack Wu, he became an unwelcome object in Cao Cao and Sun Quan. This is a big war pattern, and it is difficult to change this phenomenon because of one person. Finally, Shu was the first to be eliminated.
It can be seen that it is more difficult for Liu Bei to rebuild the Han Dynasty when the talents are not as good as Liu Bang and the situation is more complicated.
First of all, Liu Bang is not only in Hanzhong.
Before Liu Bang officially turned against Xiang Yu, he owned the whole Chengdu Plain and Hanzhong. From the map, it seems that Liu Bei's territory is slightly larger, but the difference between Liu Bang and Liu Bei is that Liu Bang's territory was blocked and Liu Bei was robbed.
The difference between this word is worlds apart. At the end of Qin Dynasty, Sichuan was one of the few areas without war. Before the unification of the six countries, Qin occupied Sichuan, made its capital for a hundred years, and built Dujiangyan in libing. The reputation of "Land of Abundance" was acquired from that time. Xiang Yu sealed this place to Liu Bang, and it can be said that he handed over an imperial inheritance.
Before Liu Bei, Yizhou experienced many years of the Yellow Scarf Uprising and the war between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, although Yizhou did not experience chaos. Liu Bei entered Yizhou under the banner of defending Zhang Lu for Liu Zhang. Then came the war between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, which lasted for three years. Three years later, Liu Bei finally unified Yizhou. Almost immediately followed by the battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao in Hanzhong, Liu Bei Group was almost at the end of its tether. Fa Zheng suggested that "men should fight and women should be lucky", which almost destroyed the country and finally got Hanzhong, which had already been hollowed out by Cao Cao.
This is the difference in national strength between Liu Bei and his ancestor Liu Bang, and from the opponent's point of view, Liu Bei and Liu Bang's opponents are even more different.
Some people are curious, why didn't Cao Cao attack Liu Bei during the three years when Liu Bei and Liu Zhang competed for Yizhou?
Because Cao Cao was busy unifying the north, he fought to the death with Ma Sui in the west, and there were rebels of the size of the north to fight against it. This situation is basically similar to Xiang Yu when Liu Bang left Hanzhong.
Like Guan Yu in later generations, Xiang Yu has a lifelong ambition to be a hero and a overlord, but he doesn't want to be an emperor. Therefore, after being recognized by various governors in the world, Xiang Yu did not set out to unify the world, but made the world eighteen kings and returned to Pengcheng himself. Among governors from all walks of life, many people obey Yin and Yang. Even if you are attached to Xiang Yu, you can't be as flexible as an armband.
Moreover, Xiang Yu is a famous foolhardy man in the history of China. Compared with the treacherous Cao Cao generation, it is far from it.
Moreover, Cao Cao's Cao Wei regime is far stronger than Xiang Yu's. Cao Cao wiped out the pack and completely unified northern China, with only Liu Bei and Sun Quan as rivals. Sun Quan was on the side in the battle of Hanzhong, and Cao Cao was able to deal with Liu Bei wholeheartedly.
It is not easy for Liu Bei to capture Hanzhong, let alone unify the world.
As far as subordinates are concerned. Liu Bangwen has Xiao Ping, Wu has Han Xin and Fan Kuai. Han Xin, in particular, is a recognized military god in China's 2,000-year history. It can be said that Han Xin defeated Xiang Yu on his own. Compared with Guan Yu, the overlord of Liu Bei Group, I don't know how high the posture level is!
And Liu Bei's cast, Zhang Guan and Zhao combined can't compare with half of Han Xin, because Han Xin is handsome, and they. Zhuge Liang can be compared with Xiao He, but it's a pity that only he, Pang Tong died early, and Fazheng also died. Since the death of Liu Bei, the talents of Han Shu Group have really withered completely.
God help cao thief, Fei Han!
There are many similarities between Liu Bang and Liu Bei in their fates: both of them were defeated and fought repeatedly, both of them were kings of the Han Dynasty (China), and both of them lived over 60 years old. Liu Bang, on the other hand, was able to kill mountains in the Qinling Mountains and win the world in one fell swoop. Liu Bei was trapped between Bashan and Shushui and died in Baidicheng. However, Liu Bei's conditions seem to be better than Liu Bang's: when Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong in 2 19 A.D., he controlled the whole Yizhou (now most of Sichuan, most of Yunnan, Guizhou, Chongqing and southwestern Shaanxi) and half of Jingzhou (now central and western Hubei), while Liu Bang only had three counties of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong, and the vast south-central area and the rich south county of Jingzhou were not under Liu Bang's control. But with such a thin family background, Liu Bang was able to go to deus ex. Is it Liu Bang's Excellence or Liu Bei's cowardice? This article tries to explain. (1) Comparison of regional strength Xiang Yu was called a overlord and a hero for a while, but he divided the world into eighteen princes, and he was only the most powerful one. Especially in Guanzhong area, it was divided into three by Xiang Yu and belonged to three kings. In this way, even if every king is completely obedient to Xiang Yu, his strength is very weak. Liu Bang's strength is not weak, and he should belong to the upper and middle reaches among the eighteen governors, and he is completely one-on-one with other governors. What's more, Xiang Yu's enfeoffment violated the interests of many people, and most governors refused to accept it, because Wang Xiang was powerful and had to be on the sidelines. Therefore, Liu Bang's real enemy is actually only Xiang Yu, and other governors are also potential allies. Liu Bei's situation is much more dangerous. Liu Bei is the least powerful among the three points in the world. The enemy we are facing is the Cao Wei regime, which has gained a firm foothold and its power is thriving. Sun Quan claimed to be an ally, but he always coveted Jingzhou. Liu Bei successively won Yizhou and Hanzhong, reaching the peak of his career, which also made Soochow extremely jealous. Finally, this hidden danger broke out completely after Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army. On the one hand, Guan Yu besieged Fancheng guarded by Coss for a long time, and Cao Jun continued to reinforce; On the other hand, Lv Meng finally stabbed Guan Yu in the back, which led to Guan Yu's failure in Maicheng, and Jingzhou was finally completely destroyed. In contrast, Liu Bang's Northern Expedition was much smoother. Han Xin fled, Sanqin hoped to collapse, and the eastern governors responded, but Xiang Yu was exhausted by the rebellion of the Tian brothers. Liu Bei was helplessly blocked by a monolithic enemy and stabbed in the back by an unreliable teammate. It was a tragedy.
economic disparity
Liu bang is not. A letter has a big granary in Chengdu Plain. A year later, he quickly returned to Guanzhong, pacified Sanqin, and had a solid rear area since then. In this way, the two most outstanding water conservancy projects in China at that time, Dujiangyan and Zheng Guoqu, both fell into the hands of Liu Bang. When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu confronted each other in Chengyang-Gaoping, Liu Bang's rations were continuously shipped from Guanzhong, but Xiang Yu could only have a headache for lack of logistical support.
(C) changes in the geographical environment
References:
Shan Ye old man answered this question:
Why can Liu Bang only win the world in Hanzhong, but Liu Bei can't recover lost ground from Han in the case of a large territory?
Mencius said: "The weather is not as good as the geographical position, and the geographical position is not as good as human harmony."
In terms of weather, geographical location and human harmony, Liu Bang can win the world, but Liu Bei can't help the Han Dynasty. The decisive factor is "human harmony".
Why do you say that?
Shan Ye answered this question from the following three aspects:
First, geographically, the territory occupied by Liu Bei at his peak was similar to that occupied by Liu Bang and Hanwang.
Map 1 (1): The map of Liu Bang as Hanwang. Map 2 (middle): Liu Bei's map when he occupied Yizhou. Map 3 (bottom): The map after Liu Bei occupied Hanzhong.
The above three maps clearly show that the territory occupied by Liu Bang as Hanwang is similar to that occupied by Liu Bei as Yizhou. So from a geographical point of view, there is no difference between the two sides.
Second, from the weather, according to local analysis, both sides have advantages; On the whole, Liu Bang is dominant.
First, from a local perspective, both sides have encountered a period of strategic opportunities.
From Liu Bei's point of view, after Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, Cao Cao fell into domestic and foreign diplomacy.
Internally, the officials and people in Nanyang area under Cao Cao's jurisdiction are unbearable. While Cao Cao's army was in Hanzhong, the defenders of Wancheng, Hou Yin and Kai Wei, rebelled.
Besides Cao Cao, Sun Quan is ready to seize Xuzhou.
From Liu Bang's point of view, shortly after Xiang Yu's enfeoffment, Qi rebelled and Xiang Yu was trapped in Qi.
Second, from a local perspective, both sides have seized the strategic opportunity.
Liu Bei took the opportunity to launch the battle of Hanzhong and occupied Hanzhong.
Liu bang took the opportunity to move eastward and occupied Sanqin.
Third, from the overall situation, Liu Bang has an advantage.
First of all, from the inside:
Liu bang is United as never before.
As for Liu Bei, after the occupation of Hanzhong, the situation was also excellent.
Second, from the external point of view, specifically from the perspective of both opponents, Liu Bang has an absolute advantage.
Liu Bang's opponent is Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu was besieged on all sides, and Qi rebelled in the East. Xiang Yu was trapped in Qi, unable to get away.
After Liu Bang took the opportunity to move eastward and occupied Sanqin, many governors turned against Xiang Yu and took refuge in Liu Bang.
Liu bang took the opportunity to lead the five-way princes and 50,000-60,000 troops to attack Pengcheng, the capital of Xiang Yu.
In the end, Liu bang was killed by 30 thousand cavalry brought by Xiang Yu because he underestimated the enemy.
Liu Bei's opponents are Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Cao Cao unified the north and was powerful.
Sun Quan's first mouse is unpredictable at both ends and is a potential opponent of Liu Bei.
Guan Yu used the strong east wind of Liu Bei's occupation of Yizhou to launch the battle of Xiangfan. In the early days, it shocked the world. As a result, Liu Bei did not seize the strategic opportunity period, but instead promoted the alliance between Cao Wei and Sun Wu, which led to the fiasco of Xiangfan War.
Fourth, both sides suffered setbacks, but the outcome was different.
The battle of Xiangfan was a fiasco, and Liu Bei was trapped in Yizhou, unable to move.
Liu Bang suffered heavy losses when he attacked Xuzhou, but Liu Bang walked out of Hanzhong.
Third, from the perspective of human harmony, Liu Bang has an absolute advantage.
First, after the fiasco in Xuzhou, Liu Bang Group remained sincere and United, and its fighting spirit was strong.
After Liu Bang's fiasco in Xuzhou, he rearranged the layout, specifically, it was "three lines" and "three points".
"Three lines" means that internal management is divided into three lines.
Xiao He guarding the rear, responsible for logistics.
Han Xin and other generals are responsible for the war ahead and attack the city slightly.
Sean and Chen Ping followed Liu Bang and were responsible for military decision-making.
"Three Points" is a sparrows war with Xiang Yu.
Han Xin led troops to attack Zhao, Yan, Daiguo and other northern vassal states, which was beyond the reach of Xiang Yu.
Led the troops to harass Liang and other places near Xiang Yu's capital.
Liu Bang led a tug-of-war with Xiang Yu in Xingyang and Gaoping.
Xiang Yu led troops to attack Liu Bang, and Peng Yue took the opportunity to attack Cheng Peng, the capital of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu went out to suppress Peng Yue, and Liu Bang took the opportunity to attack Xingyang and Gaoping.
Xiang Yu let Peng Yue and Liu Bang walk by the nose and run back and forth.
Finally, Xiang Yu lost his fighting spirit and committed suicide by the Wujiang River.
Second, after the fiasco in Xiangfan, Liu Bei's group was divided and never recovered.
At the beginning of the battle of Xiangfan, Guan Yu was in an absolute advantage.
Liu Bei failed to seize this opportunity period. Instead of mobilizing his strength to support Guan Yu, he proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, and then he was busy making official wishes.
Later, Liu Bei launched the battle of Yiling.
The battle of Yiling was the result of Liu Bei's persistence in the case of internal disintegration.
Liu Bei launched the battle of Yiling, and Zhao Yun and other veterans insisted on opposing it; Fu Qin and other civil servants remonstrated in an attempt to stop Liu Bei from launching the war of Yiling; Zhuge Liang has ulterior motives and has remained silent. As a result, the battle of Yiling launched by Liu Bei was defeated by 700 Li fire, and finally he died in Baidicheng.
Third, the most crucial point is that Liu Bang Group will be like a cloud, and the soldiers will use their lives; Liu Bei Group's talents failed to meet, and as a result, there was no general in Shu, with Liao Hua as the pioneer.
To sum up, Liu Bang can only win the world in Hanzhong, and most of Liu Bei's territory is too big to be restored to Han, mainly because of "harmony between people".
Although Liu Bang Group has been defeated and fought repeatedly, it can persist in repeated defeats and wars, and the last battle will definitely go on.
Liu Bei's clique is divided. After Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, he valued righteousness over Zhuge Liang. So, after Fazheng's death, Zhuge Liang deliberately watched the boat capsize on the Yellow Crane Tower, making Liu Bei a thing of the past after the battle of Yiling.
Since Liu Bei came to the thatched cottage and followed Zhuge Liang, he has gradually achieved something. At that time, Cao Cao and Enemy at the Gates were outnumbered. But Sun Quan of Soochow has been established for the third time, and neither of them can compete with Liu Bei. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei got Jingzhou, took Xichuan, lost Jingzhou again, and Liu Bei defeated Yiling. It caused great losses to Shu Han, and Liu Bei's dream of unifying the world was shattered. After that, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, but his troops were not as good as Cao Wei's, so it was difficult to bypass him, and his food and grass were not good. Finally, I broke down from overwork and died.
Liu Bang was born in troubled times. Although he was defeated by Xiang Yu many times, he still used people. Liu Bang once said: I am not as good as Sean when it comes to strategizing and winning thousands of miles. I am not as good as Xiao He in collecting exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous fees. I'm not as good as Han Xin in leading the troops to fight. But Liu Gang took control of the three men, followed by ruthless Lv Hou, who met Xiang Yu who was headstrong. All the conditions were met, and Liu Bang ruled the country.
1, talent, Liu Bang has the courage to use people, although he is not very capable. As long as you have the ability, no matter what you used to do, you can fully cooperate with all kinds of careerists, which Liu Bei can't do. I believe many people will give him advice, but those who can play a decisive role are not so good. If it weren't for the later Si Mahui, it is estimated that he would regret it all his life, which would lead to the imbalance of talents, so that he would work hard for the rest of his life. 2. The overall situation is different. When Liu Bang left Hanzhong, Xiang Yu had no time to look east, and the princes had no intention to take care of it. Moreover, other countries didn't unite, so that Liu Bang could March in and win Pengcheng after winning Guanzhong, and then he was alone when cleaning up the vassals. Liu Bei had to face Sun Quan of Xiao Qiang and powerful Cao Cao. It can be said that Cao Cao's team and strength can be described by crushing. Liu Bei will be attacked if he develops well. 3, lack of mind, we all know that Liu Bang is willing to pay for the world, sealing many kings, and supporting Ying Bu and Liu Bei is a bit stingy. Ma Chao is Cao Cao's sworn enemy, though changeable. If Liu Bei trains Ma Chao to win the West Cool, he can contain Cao Cao. It can be said that Ma Chao will never attack Liu Bei before solving Cao Cao, and he can also attack Guan Zhong. Liu Bei can also rest assured that when Jingzhou is stable, he will run Jingzhou again and win the world. 4, hypocrisy, although he has a good reputation, but this is not the main reason why his men follow him. When it's time to make a move, he often appears full of moral sense, and he is not familiar with the scale of moral sense and thick black. On the other hand, Liu Bang with real milk is the fucking winner. His morality is all displayed in those who have surrendered to himself, and his treachery is reflected in hostile forces.
There are two main reasons why Liu Bang can win the world based on Hanzhong:
First, Liu Bang knows how to advance and retreat. Xiang Yu enfeoffed the princes of the world, relying on the arrogance of the Battle of the Julu. The heroes of the world surrendered and there were many supporters, including more than 400,000 troops alone. The dead state is weak, with only 654.38 million troops. In order to avoid Xiang Yu's sharp edge, Liu Bang not only obeyed, but also confused Xiang Yu by burning a plank road to break his retreat. As a result, Xiang Yu believed it and relaxed his vigilance against Liu Bang. This gave Liu Bang precious time to stay in Hanzhong and get ready to go.
Second, Liu Bangshan employs people. Liu Bang created Xiao He, Sean and Han Xin three musketeers, and gave full play to their specialties. Especially after worshipping Han Xin as a general, the military strength and fighting capacity of the Han army are increasing day by day. In the Chu-Han hegemony, it was Han Xin who cut off Xiang Yu's wings with his outstanding military talent and finally helped Liu Bang win the world.
There are two main reasons why Liu Bei occupied the whole country of Shu and could not win the world:
First, Liu Bei has a soft spot. After Liu Bei occupied the middle of Shu, Zhuge Liang put forward a strategic plan of "uniting with Wu to resist Shu". As a result, after Guan Yu, the sworn brother, lost Jingzhou, Liu Bei did not hesitate to use force to avenge Guan Yu, which led to the failure of the strategy of uniting Wu against Shu. Without the support and help, it is difficult for Shu to shake the powerful Wei State alone. In a word, compared with Liu Bang's reason, Liu Bei is too emotional, which is an important reason why he can't win the world.
Second, there are few talents in Shu. Although Liu Bei has super counselors like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, there are also super warriors like Zhang and Zhao. However, with the untimely death of Pang Tong and Xiang Yu, Zhuge Liang and others are getting old, and the training of reserve talents in Shu is not strong enough, resulting in a shortage of talents. The absence of General Liao Hua as a pioneer in the middle and late period of Shu is the best proof. Moreover, although Zhuge Liang is resourceful and ingenious, leading troops on the spot is not his strong point. Six trips out of the mountain are helpless, and the poor effect is also proof. And there is no such talent in Shu as Han Xin who can lead troops to fight in the front line, which leads to Liu Bei's great Shu not winning the world.
Because the strength gap between the two opponents is too big, Liu Bang's strength in Hanzhong is three times that of his opponent, relying on the strong to bully the weak, while Liu Bei (later Zhuge Liang) attacked the strong with the weak. Therefore, Liu Bang can get into Guanzhong and then plot the world slowly, while Liu Bei (Zhuge Liang) can't get out of Hanzhong.
When Liu Bei became the king of Hanzhong, he owned half of Jingzhou and Yizhou.
When Liu Bang was in Hanwang, he only occupied Yizhou. Although Liu Bang didn't occupy southern Sichuan on the map, it is actually difficult for Liu Bei to effectively control southern Sichuan, and Yizhou's effective control territory is actually similar.
The territory of Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, is larger than that of Liu Bang, the king of Hanwang.
But if you want to fight in the world, you can't just look at how much territory you control, but also look at the world situation and how strong your opponent is. It can be clearly seen from the above two pictures that Liu Bang's opponent in Hanzhong is Xiang Yu's three vassals in Qin Dynasty, namely, Sima Xin, the king of Yong, and Dong Ming, the king of Zhai. When Liu Bang entered Sichuan, his troops were not less than 1.5 million, while Zhang Han Sima Xin added Dong Kun, and the total * * * troops would not exceed this number, and the three were still in their own way. In Han Xin, Liu Bang, after leaving Hanzhong, met his first opponent, Zhang Han. His strength was certainly less than half that of Liu Bang, so Liu Bang bullied the weak.
Coupled with the terrain at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the waterway transportation out of Hanzhong was relatively smooth, and the transportation of grain and grass was not very difficult. Moreover, after three chapters in Guanzhong, Liu Bang had a high prestige among the people of Qin. As a general of the Qin Dynasty, it was certainly unpopular for Zhang Han to surrender to the murderer Xiang Yu. At this time, Xiang Yu was killed by Yi Di, and many governors rose up against Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu was trapped in the same place, unable to help Sanqin, and was defeated by Liu Bang one by one. After Liu Bang occupied Guanzhong, Yizhou and Hanguguan had food supplies to hold on to. At this time, Liu Bang was in a favorable position just like Qin at the end of the Warring States Period.
Liu Bei's opponent, Cao Cao, is equivalent to the combination of fourteen governors, including Wang Yong Zhang Han, Wang Sai Sima Xin, Qi Wang Dong Kun, Western Wei Wei Bao, and Western Chu overlord Xiang Yu (half). Even with the restraint, Cao can't hold Liu Bei down 100%, but the power that can be used to defend Liu Bei is at least four or five times. In this case, Liu Bei still had to wait until the northward change, Jingzhou feint and contain Cao Wei's strength. Liu Bei's main force left Hanzhong and seized power in Guanzhong, so Cao Wei's northern expedition could be won. What's more, because of the earthquake, the terrain in Hanzhong changed at this time, and water transportation could not be carried out. It can only be transported by land, which is very difficult.
What's more, Jingzhou was captured by Soochow before the two-way invasion could be carried out. Not only Jingzhou was lost, but also Guan Yu, the number one general, and tens of thousands of soldiers. At this time, Liu Bei's strength is only half that of Liu Bang.
To make matters worse, Liu Bei didn't listen to the advice and made a nationwide crusade against Wu. Defeated in Yiling, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were lost. At this time, the military strength of Shu is estimated to be less than one tenth of that of Cao Wei. What power can unify the world?
