Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, threw himself into the river, and Liu Bang cried and sacrificed Xiang Yu three times. Why?
Xiang Yu [1] (232-202 BC), Ji surname, Xiang surname, Zi Yu, was born in Surabaya (now Suqian City, Jiangsu Province), the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty, an outstanding strategist, and the grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous Chu State. He is the representative of China's military thought "military situation".
Xiang Yu was born in troubled times and grew up in a declining aristocratic family. He is brave, frivolous and ambitious. Xiang Yu followed his uncle Xiang Liang in Wuzhong (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) in his early years. After he started playing, he played again and again. After Xiang Liang's death, he led the army to cross the river to save Zhao Wangxie. In the Battle of Julu, he defeated the main forces of Qin Jun led by Zhang Han and Wang Li. After the Qin Dynasty, he established a prince, calling himself the overlord of Chu, and was almost invincible in that era.
Then Liu Bang, the king of Han Dynasty, sent troops from Hanzhong to attack Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu launched a Chu-Han war with him for four years.
The Chu-Han War, also known as the Chu-Han War, the hegemony between Chu and Han, the Chu-Han War and the Chu-Han War, was a large-scale war between Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, and Liu Bang, Hanwang, for political power from August of the first year of Han Dynasty (206 BC) to December of the fifth year of Han Dynasty (202 BC).
The main famous battles are the Battle of Julu, the Battle of Suishui, the Battle of Jingxing, the Battle of Pengcheng, the Battle of Linzi and the Battle of Sese. Although he was repeatedly attacked by Liu Bang, Xiang Yu could never have a fixed rear supply, ran out of food and grass, and his suspected father, Fan Zeng, was finally destroyed by Liu Bang.
Although a gentleman can bend and stretch, Xiang Yu's dignity, ideal and pride obviously don't allow him to do so. The right path in his heart is unyielding and resolute, so he will eventually part ways with the thick black Fan Zeng, so he will release Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet, so he will believe Liu Bang's decision to share the world with him, in other words, so he will eventually be deceived by Sean and Liu Bang, and then the sewer will capsize. In the Battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu fled all the way to Wujiang and met the director of Wujiang Pavilion. In order to make a comeback, the director advised Xiang Yu to return to Jiangdong. Xiang Yu refused because he was ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong, and gave him a horse. So, Xiang Yu dismounted and fought, killing hundreds of Han soldiers in one breath, and suffered more than a dozen injuries himself, and then committed suicide with a knife.
Liu Bang: "Xiang Yu has a Fan Zeng, so it can't be used. This is why he wants to give me a prisoner! "
Liu Bang will naturally regard Xiang Yu, his brother who fought side by side with Qin State and shared weal and woe, as an obstacle to his ambition, so Liu Bang has been eager to get rid of Xiang Yu. When Liu Bang besieged Xiang Yu, he ordered that everyone who got Xiang Yu's head should be rich and rich, so determined and ruthless, regardless of the old brotherhood. So after Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang River, five people were blocked at the same time in one day.
So now Xiang Yu is dead, which is exactly what Liu Bang wants. Liu bang's great cause has been unstoppable. His heart must be overjoyed at this time. How can he cry and sacrifice Xiang Yu, which is extremely painful? In fact, after Xiang Yu's death, most of Chu surrendered to Liu Bang. But only Lu Xian County will never surrender. Finally, Liu Bang wanted to use a soft strategy, holding Xiang Yu's head and acting in Shandong to show people. He did all this just to win over Xiang Yu's old men, to appease the people and to win without fighting.
Although Liu Bang's crying to Xiang Yu was insincere and had a clear purpose, it also revealed some true feelings. Otherwise, how could Liu Can bang when he cried? After all, the two brothers fought side by side, and Xiang Yu was kind to Liu Bang. Now, in the face of Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang's heart will inevitably evoke the past, thus creating a feeling that things have changed. Therefore, his crying has both the purpose of putting on a show and the expression of true feelings. It can be described with mixed feelings, maybe even he couldn't tell at that time.
