The story of the failure of historical figures
Xiang Yu failed.

First, lack of strategy and vision, not politicians.

Reading Sima Qian's Historical Records, I know that Xiang Yu is 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."

I can't, but I can't! "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 person who can't see the direction clearly politically and can't recognize the truth. He can't use his quick wits in a dangerous situation and turn the corner. How does he lead everyone to success?

Second, Xiang Yu's character has extremely serious defects.

1, short-sighted, complacent, foolhardy and lacking in tolerance.

A close reading of the history books shows that there are extremely serious defects in Xiang Yu's character: short-sighted but empty-minded; 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.

Xinfeng hongmen

Xiang Yu was furious when he heard that Liu Bang was going to be king in Guanzhong, and he wanted to crush Liu Bang100000 troops with 40000 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 "led the troops to slaughter Xianyang in the west, killed Qin, burned Qin Gong, and the fire did not go out in March, and crusaded for its goods and amassed its treasures.

"failed the Qin people."

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 then 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.

The cook said, "Xiang Yu was very angry.

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 enumerate such examples.

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.
