Xiang Yu has always been called a hero by later generations, and the result of his failure has become the main reason for universal sympathy. Liu Bang, the founding father of the Han Dynasty, has always played a cunning villain, but Xiang Yu has become a gentleman. From a fair point of view, although some of Liu Bang's practices are full of spicy taste, Xiang Yu's character has absolutely nothing to do with decency.

One is to kill 200,000 troops and burn Epang Palace.

After Chen Sheng and Guangwu launched an uprising in osawa Township, peasant riots swept across the country. The nobles of the former six eastern countries are also ready to move, intending to restore the motherland. At this time, part of Qin Jun's main force was in Lingnan, and the other part was defending Xiongnu in the north. In order to suppress the peasant uprising that a single spark can start a prairie fire, Qin Ershi urgently ordered Zhang Han, a famous soldier, to lead more than 200,000 prisoners and civilian workers gathered in Xianyang to attack eastward and put down the rebellion. However, in the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu was desperate and defeated Zhang Han. Zhang Han, who was defeated, worried that Zhao Gao of Xianyang City was deliberately framed, but in desperation he surrendered to Xiang Yu. In order to prevent these soldiers from making trouble and avenge his uncle, Xiang Yu ordered the killing of all 200,000 Qin Jun, which shows how cruel this person is.

At this point, Liu Bang had taken the lead in entering Xianyang, Qin Dou, and Zi Ying, the king of Qin, surrendered to Liu Bang. Liu bang made three chapters for the elders in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong was orderly. But after Xiang Yu arrived, everything changed. Because Liu Bang was no match for Xiang Yu, he voluntarily gave Xianyang to Xiang Yu. Then Xiang Yu's performance proved that he was a complete political idiot. He first killed Zi Ying, the king of Qin who surrendered, and cut off the life of the surrenders. He also set fire to Epang Palace, the largest building complex in the world, which was reduced to ashes in the raging fire. Finally, he indulged his subordinates in robbery. After ransacking Xianyang City, he chose to go home!

Second, it is short-sighted and does not listen to dissuasion. At the same time, it is also for the sake of the minister.

After Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he chose not to stay here and become the new emperor, but to return home with gold, silver and jewels. This shows that he is still an old concept in the Warring States period. If he chooses to stay in Guanzhong, Liu Bang will be completely hopeless, and the majesty of the Han empire will not exist, even the name Han Chinese will not exist. However, because of Xiang Yu's short-sightedness, Liu Bang, who was weak at this time, had a breathing space. Xiang Yu chose to return to his hometown Pengcheng to be his own overlord of Chu, but Liu Bang was not willing to be just a small Hanwang. Liu bang expanded step by step, and finally occupied the land of Guanzhong again, and began a hegemony war with Xiang Yu.

As early as when Liu Bang was still very weak, Fan Zeng, the chief strategist of Xiang Yu, suggested that Xiang Yu get rid of Liu Bang to avoid future trouble. From Sima Qian's description, people thought that Xiang Yu could not bear to be a villain and rejected Fan Zeng's suggestion. But by analyzing Liu Bang's performance at that time, it is more likely that Xiang Yu looked down on Liu Bang and didn't take him seriously at all. After Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, Chu Huaiwang lost his value. At this time, Xiang Yu is no longer a king, but a child, herding cattle. There is no doubt that its rough side is exposed, which is completely contrary to their slogan when they went to war at that time. This is not to say that Xiang Yu should continue to honor Chu Huaiwang, but that everything has a certain order, not rudeness.

Third, regarded as a gentleman by later generations, Wujiang is suspected of suicide.

In the battle, Xiang Yu captured Liu Bang's old father and wife. In order to force Liu Bang to surrender, Xiang Yu actually set up a cauldron and threatened Liu Bang to cook his father if he didn't surrender. Later generations have been holding Liu Bang's heel to answer. Liu Bang replied, "Wang Ba and I are like brothers, and my father is Wang Ba's father. Wang Ba is going to cook his father today. Please leave a leg for Liu Bang. " In fact, this is also a helpless move. Imagine if Liu Bang begged for help. The only way is to kidnap Xiang Yu morally. Xiang Yu also knows that even if Liu Taigong is really cooked, it won't help. Might as well keep it as a shield. In addition, later generations have been preaching that Xiang Yu is a gentleman, but the life of other people's fathers is a threat. Is this what a gentleman should do? Xiang Yu is eight feet away from gentleman's fashion.

Finally, let me talk about the siege of Gaixia. First of all, under the siege of the Han army, Xiang Yu abandoned his infantry and those old, weak and sick, and broke through with hundreds of cavalry. However, when he ran to the Wujiang River and learned that the boat could only take him away, he had no face to face the elders in Jiangdong and chose to fight. I must think about it here. I joined tens of thousands of infantry in the Han army. What's the difference between going back alone and taking hundreds of beaten soldiers back? If he withdraws from Jiangdong with a large group of soldiers, it doesn't matter even if he is defeated, but he can make a comeback. The key is that you still have hundreds of people left. The Han army has occupied most of the area, and the people are not stupid. Who will come out to die again? The biggest possibility for Xiang Yu to commit suicide in Wujiang River is that he has been surrounded by the Han army and cannot escape. Besides, Han Xin, commander-in-chief of the Han army, is so smart that he will be unguarded in Wujiang River. He wouldn't be Han Xin if he made such a low-level mistake.
