First, Xiang Yu failed. First, he lacked strategy and vision. None of his politicians read Sima Qian's historical records and learned that Xiang Yu was a hero. Natural divine power, "Wuzhong children are afraid of it." His ambition is lofty and lofty. He kept his word because he promised Xiang Bo to "satisfy" Liu Bang's suggestion. Regardless of his father's "three who show", he let Liu bang get off the net at the Hongmen banquet. After the defeat of Wujiang, he refused to board the lifeboat of Wujiang Tingchang. Facing the jungle behind him, he smiled at death and was very brave. The hero Xiang Yu finally committed suicide and died ... A sad song rang out in his ear: "When you pull out the mountain, you are angry with the world, and when it is unfavorable, you will not die." "If we don't fold, what can we do? What can I do if I am worried? " Xiang Yu attributed his failure to bad luck until his death. However, is it really just bad luck? Some people say that Xiang Yu's biggest mistake was that he didn't listen to his adviser Fan Zeng at the Hongmen banquet, and even set the tiger free, which led to the final failure. This failure shows that Xiang Yu is a man who can't see clearly the direction politically, can't tell the truth from the false, and can't use his quick wits in dangerous situations. So how can he lead everyone to success?
Secondly, Xiang Yu's personality has extremely serious defects: 1, short-sighted, complacent, foolhardy and lacking in magnanimity. Reading the history books carefully, we can see that there are extremely serious defects in Xiang Yu's character: he is ambitious but short-sighted; Love vanity, there is no lack of self-satisfied small-scale peasant consciousness; Everything is brave first, wisdom is behind, cruelty is more than enough, and kindness is not enough; Lack of advice, magnanimous monarchy. This decided his life. He should be just an all-powerful general, but he has no emperor's mind. His real mistake is not whether he killed Liu Bang, but his weakness. Even if he killed Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet, he would be defeated by Zhang Bang, Wang Bang and Li Bang in the future. 2. Cruelty is more than kindness; Lack of advice, magnanimous monarchy. Let's take a look at several small fragments in Historical Records: Xin 'an. Zhang Han led his troops to mutiny. Xiang Yu was not good at supervising surrender, but turned it into his own use. On the contrary, "more than 200,000 soldiers were attacked at night", fearing that they would refuse to surrender. When Xinfeng Hongmen heard that Liu Bang was going to be king in Guanzhong, Xiang Yu was furious and wanted to crush Liu Bang10,000,000 troops with 400,000 troops. Liu Bang was afraid that he would woo Xiang Bo, the father of Xiang Yu's Jishi family. He bowed in praise of Wang Xiang. Xiang Yu was obviously complacent and quite proud, so he listened to Xiang Bo and "met" Liu Bang. This is the eternal regret that Fan Zeng "counted the kings" and "the kings were silent" at the Hongmen banquet. After entering the customs. Xiang Yu "marched west to slaughter Xianyang, killed Qin, and burned Qin Gong. The fire will not go out in March, and the woman will take the goods to the east. " Let the Qin people down. Eliminate Qin. Someone advised Xiang Yu: "Guanzhong is separated by mountains and rivers, and the land is rich and fertile, but it can unify the world." Xiang Yu turned his heart to the East and said, "If a man is rich and doesn't return to his hometown, it's like dressing up at night. Who knows? " Seeing that Xiang Yu was so short-sighted and disheartened, the admonisher said, "People say that Chu people' bathe monkeys and crown their ears', and it really happened." Xiang Yu was furious when he heard that, "said the cook. In the winter of the second year of Han Dynasty. Due to improper sealing, Tian Rong rebelled. Xiang Yu counter-insurgency, "Tian Rong, people do the pit, fell to his death. He was an old and frail woman who went to Beihai, where many people were wiped out. "There is no need to list such examples one by one. Xiang Yu's character weakness runs through his life, and he seems to have no intention of changing, which is fatal to a hero with great ambitions and ideals. His growth process is only a brave growth history, but he ignores the pursuit and shaping of higher-level personality. His failure is inevitable, but he is just a strong soldier. Second, the reasons for Liu Bang's victory: First, following the example of celebrities, constantly improving and perfecting themselves and striving for the height of life are the most important reasons for Liu Bang's victory over Xiang Yu. 1, good at calculation, good at attracting others for their own use, please see Liu Bang. He was born cunning, slick and boastful, much like a hooligan. His background is extremely ordinary, and his name is unknown to the world, which is related to Xiang Yu's status as a descendant of a famous star. In the eyes of people who have always attached importance to the aura and background, Liu Bang seemed dim, which made Liu Bang fall into a subordinate position when he first started fighting. But Liu Bang has his own way. Cunning and smooth is not a leader's temperament, but Pei Gong is good at constantly improving himself. He compared himself to the "new Ling Jun", thus setting himself a high level in life. He often unconsciously imitates Xin's way of life and behavior, adding rationality and ingenuity to his character and making his life a life of continuous improvement. Therefore, he is respected by the villagers. Liu Bang learned a lot from Xin Lingjun. For example, he learned how to gain strength by weaving nets. According to the present statement, he is good at speculating people's psychology according to the situation, lubricating interpersonal relationships, having strong cohesion, and being able to attract others for their own use. According to historical records, after Liu Bangxian entered the customs, Xiang Yu heard the news and wanted to attack it. At that time, Liu Bang thought, with 100,000 troops defeated by 40,000 troops of Xiang Yu, he was eager to win over Xiang Bo, the father of Xiang Yu in the current season, and respectfully "served as a brother" and "celebrated his birthday with wine" and married him. Xiang Bo urged Xiang Yu to "meet" Liu Bang, and drew his sword and danced with Xiang Zhuang at the Hongmen banquet, "often covering himself with wings", which made Fan Zeng's plan to kill "the country" a complete failure! On the surface, Liu Bang doesn't seem to have any special talents, but his subordinates are brilliant. Xiao He, Han Xin and Chen Ping are all loyal to their work. Even Sean, who thinks highly of himself, envies others and says, "This is almost a gift from God. "As a' prodigal son' from a civilian background, it is impossible to unite a large number of talented counselors and generals to work for it. Second, tolerance, kindness and generosity. Contrary to Xiang Yu's "ruin", Liu Bang is more measured. The elders of Chu praised him and said, "Pei Gong is also an elder. "Historical Records: In the first decade of the Han Dynasty, Pei Gongbing was a vassal first, and then a tyrant. Zi Ying, the king of Qin, rode on a white horse, tied his neck to form a ball, sealed the emperor Jeff, and set off. The generals still defeated the king of Qin with words. Pei Gong said, "At first, I was sent by the king to be tolerant, but people have come down and killed me, which is ominous. "So the king of Qin was a collector, so he went to Xianyang." After Xiang Yu was defeated, Liu Bang buried Xiang Yu in his old city with him. " Hanwang wailed and left. All branches of the Xiang family will not be punished by Hanwang. "Third, when it's calm, I like to defeat the enemy without fighting. Chu and Han have been arguing for a long time. Xiang Yu once said to Liu Bang: "People of several years old in the world are willing to challenge Hanwang." Hanwang said with a smile, "I would rather fight with wisdom than strength." Liu bang naturally won't do such a stupid thing. When attacking Wancheng, in order to avoid the disadvantages of storming and damaging soldiers, Liu Bang listened to the advice and sealed Wancheng as the Yin Hou (equivalent to the present four) in order to achieve the purpose of great strategy and perseverance. After Liu Bang entered the customs, he remonstrated with Fan Kuai and sealed Qin's heavy property in the state treasury without taking a penny. And publicly announced: "My elders have been tortured by harsh laws for a long time ..... I am not afraid of causing harm to my elders!" At the same time, send people to all counties and villages to publicize. The Qin people were overjoyed and offered cattle, sheep and wine to entertain the sergeant. Pei Gong refused, saying, "There is a lot of corn in the warehouse, so I don't want to waste people." Therefore, the Qin people are more happy, so as not to be named king. Clever Fan Zeng saw this clearly: "When Pei Gong lived in Shandong, he was greedy for money and goods, so he loved Maggie. Now that he has entered the customs, he has gained nothing from his property. Women are lucky. This ambition is not small. " Liu bang's nature is also greedy and lewd, but in order to achieve his goal, he became very restrained. This is in stark contrast to Xiang Yu's "daughter who gathers her treasures" after each siege and village. "Big banks don't care about details, and big gifts don't hesitate to make small concessions." In order to achieve great things, Liu Bang often endured considerable pain and made amazing moves. When Chu and Han confronted Xingyang, Xiang Yu wanted to cook Liu Bang's father and forced him to retreat. Liu bang actually said: we are already brothers, and my father is your father. If you want to cook your father, "you will be lucky to share a part of it." Xiang Yu was so angry that he threatened to bankrupt the plan. To sum up, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in the hegemony have the same ambition to unify the whole country, and Xiang Yu's talent is also better than Liu Bang's. It's a pity that he doesn't pay attention to self-management, and he is always angry and unrestrained. This is the taboo of success. On the contrary, Liu Bang was mediocre at first, but he was good at perfecting himself in the process of pursuing his goals, demanding himself with high standards, cultivating excellent qualities and restraining undesirable elements in his nature. His success is not accidental and worth understanding. Life is alive, who has no ideal? Who doesn't want to be an excellent person? Who doesn't want to succeed We might as well take Xiang Yu as a mirror, learn from Liu Bang and explore the way to success in life.
