The question is whether Liu Bangxia really had the intention to kill Xiang Yu before the war, and whether he wanted to destroy the western Chu forces represented by Xiang Yu and kill Xiang Yu himself. I think these two points are debatable.
As we all know, Liu Bang traveled all over the country when he was young. Although he is not humble, he is very knowledgeable. He is a broad-minded man, not the kind of force villain who haggles over every ounce. When Liu Bang went to Xianyang and saw Qin Shihuang traveling in the chaotic ranks, he issued the grandiloquence that "men should be like this". It can be said that his grandiloquence is no less than Bobby Chen's grandiloquence that "princes will have seeds". Although Liu Bang had the habit of being infected with many hooligans and was helpless, he was a man with great political ambitions, which was obvious to all before he became famous. When Liu Bang escorted the prisoners to Xianyang, he was afraid of being severely punished by the Qin law because of the delay in the deadline, so he privately transferred the imprisoned prisoners away. However, dozens of people still wanted to be Liu Bang, which shows that Liu Bang has certain personality charm and leadership skills, otherwise no one would be willing to risk their lives to escape with him. Before Liu Bang officially opposed Qin, he hid in the mountains outside Pei County, but Liu Bang was always found by his wife. When Liu Bang asked why, Lv Zhi said that he was angry with the emperor, but Liu Bang was always complacent. This shows that Liu Bang's political ideal of imperial psychology has never been extinguished, and his political practice is the dominant factor. In other words, Liu Bang's political purpose is to realize the emperor career of Qin Shihuang, not to avenge and get rid of blood feud. Liu Bang officially cited Pei County's young and old against Qin, which caused great repercussions among the masses. Liu Bang is a generation of emperors with charisma, leadership and great political aspirations. Although he has a rogue habit, he is not the essential representative of this person, but an external habit, which does not prevent Liu Bang from finally realizing his lofty aspirations and making great contributions to the Chinese nation.
Although Liu Banggang started to fight and got the active support of his fellow villagers in Pei County, only a few hundred people actually took part in the war. His influence was negligible among the anti-Qin forces of various governors at that time. Don't say that compared with Xiang Yu at that time, any one of the six big noble at that time was much better than him, and Liu Bang was just a pawn in Qian Qian's absolutely anti-Qin forces. However, Liu Bang was very lucky. He got the appreciation and support of the project. It should be said that Xiang Yu was good to Liu Bang. Without the support of Xiang Yu, Liu Bang would have struggled, made meritorious deeds and killed the enemy. He would never want to be on the political stage at the end of Qin dynasty, and he will always be a small political role, unable to get on the big stage of history and politics. Liu Bang's politics can thrive in the shadow of Xiang Yu, get all kinds of opportunities to make contributions, and be attributed to various governors, and finally make peace.
