Chapter 142 The Perfect Performance Artist, Xiang Yu

In terms of personality, men's personalities can be divided into two types: Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.In many cases, men are faced with such a choice: Do you think you are Liu Bang or Xiang Yu?

From a historical point of view, Liu Bang was born in 256 BC and Xiang Yu was born in 232 BC. Liu Bang was 24 years older than Xiang Yu.When the Chu-Han War broke out in 206 BC, Liu Bang was 50 years old and Xiang Yu was 26 years old.Xiang Yu was only 30 years old until Wujiang committed suicide.

In the eyes of Westerners, Xiang Yu is the only ancient Chinese general who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Carthage's famous general Hannibal, and is known as: Eastern Hannibal.

The Chu-Han War was a duel between the young and the old.

When Xiang Yu was 22 years old, he pointed to Qin Shihuang who was on tour and said: "He can be replaced."Xiang Yu made great achievements in battle, and the battle of Julu, which was overwhelmed, created a miracle in the history of war.

When Xiang Yu was 26 years old, he became the Overlord of Western Chu.If the promotion of cadres is based on the current political system, this speed is already amazing.

He is very disdainful of schemes, and believes that a gentleman is open-minded, and deceit is not the work of a real man.

A person with absolute strength disdains the so-called conspiracy and conspiracy, and he has an obsession that is almost paranoid.Although this point has the true qualities of an upright hero, it is sometimes too extreme.

"I think Xiang Yu has a bit of a youthful temper, but this kind of so-called chivalry and arbitrariness are not the qualities that a king should have." Taizong Li Shimin sighed: "The decisiveness of killing is for the enemy. It's a bit outrageous that people like him are so cruel."

"However, this is inseparable from what happened to Xiang Yu when he was young and the education he received. Not only is Xiang Liang not a calm and kind person."

Xiang Yu regards himself as a righteous man, and he thinks that a righteous man does not need those tricks.Therefore, Fan Zeng was the only one around him, but he often refused to listen to Fan Zeng's words.

Han Xin also offered advice to him several times, but he was not reused, so he switched to Liu Bang in a fit of anger. These two incidents became a typical example of his bad use of people.

Xiang Yu disdains to use tricks, and he is not good at guessing other people's tricks, so his psychological awareness of prevention is also weak, so that he repeatedly falls into tricks.

Liu Bang's false surrender and the secret deployment of the Hongmen Banquet all succeeded.However, Xiang Yu never knew how to sum up his lessons, and he never "learned a pit, learned a lesson".

Judging from the present, Xiang Yu is the embodiment of the temperament and spirit of young people, and he likes to judge people by temperament.However, politics cannot be based on true temperament.

Liu Bang is well versed in politics. He treats people with others, and even every step he takes is to maximize political interests.

From this point of view, although force can maximize its effect in troubled times, in the final analysis, strategy is the main thing.

Xiang Yu killed Prince Ying of Qin who had already surrendered and "Keng Qin surrendered more than [-] soldiers".

This raised the boy's character to the height of family hatred and national hatred.

The state of Chu was destroyed by the state of Qin. Xiang Yu's grandfather Xiang Yan led his troops and was killed by the Qin general Wang Jian in the battle to defend the state of Chu. Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang, who was regarded as his biological father, was killed by the Qin general Zhang Han; It is with great family hatred and national hatred, which is also his primary motivation for heroically killing the enemy.

It's just that his venting of this emotion is caused by individualism.Considering the interests of the collective, this matter is really not suitable to be handled in this way.Because it is not only useless to him, but also harmful, let alone his ruling cause.

If this matter were placed on Liu Bang, he would never do this.Xiang Yu obviously does not have Liu Bang's political rationality of weighing pros and cons.

This is not so much Xiang Yu's cruelty, but Xiang Yu's impulsiveness-the impulsiveness of young people.

Xiang Yu is guilty. This man's murderous aura is too strong, he kills at every turn, leads to massacre the city, wherever he goes, he burns, kills, loots, and the people complain. These are all his sins.

Xiang Yu pitted Qin to surrender 20 soldiers, but only three surrendered generals remained: Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi, and he trusted and treated them favorably.

This is not due to his strategy with the world in mind, it is just his brainstorming, or it is his character's willfulness.His sympathy is only for those he deems worthy.It's more about feeling than starting from actual needs.

In contrast, Liu Bang is rational in employing people. He will not rely on a person's character to deal with problems. Instead, he is more practical. As long as there are useful talents, no matter what the person has done before, as long as they are useful to his great cause of reunification , he will respect the corporals and arrange them to suitable positions.

After Liu Bang heard Xiao He talk about the importance of Han Xin, he immediately made a 180-degree turn.

Meticulous, attentive and caring, it is a matter of trying to win over from all aspects.His attitude directly led to Han Xin's embarrassment because of Liu Bang's previous attitude towards him when it was possible to become king on his own, but he consistently insisted on serving Liu Bang.

For Xiang Yu, what should be the outcome of every war is his psychological requirement. This psychological requirement is that he wants to win, not only to win beautifully, but also to win with grace, without losing the standard.

Not only must you win in terms of the number of enemies killed, but you must also win in spirit, which means both internal and external training.

Xiang Yu can be regarded as a performance artist to a certain extent.His actions are those of the beauty of war.This kind of behavior is not seeking results, because Xiang Yu is enjoying every process, and the so-called success is just the end he expected.

Like a reckless man, he impulsively commanded the long knife in his hand, beheading everyone he could meet.

And every victory is his proud capital. In Liu Bang's view, this kind of capital is nothing more than an exaggerated self-show off. The more dazzling this kind of show off, the more adverse influence it will have on Xiang Yu. will become increasingly isolated.

After Xiang Yu was defeated, he led the remaining 28 cavalry to Dongcheng. He thought he could not escape, so he said to his subordinates: "I have been in the army for eight years, and after more than [-] battles, I have not been defeated. My enemies have surrendered to me. Now trapped here, it's not that I don't know how to fight, but that the sky is going to kill me. Now is the time to fight to the death. I want to fight for you, and I will win three times. The world knows that it is the sky that wants to kill me, not that I can't fight."

Sure enough, he rushed into the enemy's formation, beheaded two generals, killed nearly a hundred people, and then asked his cavalry: "How is it?"

This is a blitz that belongs to Xiang Yu, but it is more like a performance of Xiang Yu's self-charm. This kind of performance is directed and performed by him. Knowing that it was the last time of his life, he still stubbornly performed this perfectly.

This almost perfect dignity is also reflected in the Hongmen Banquet.

Fan Zeng hinted to Xiang Yu repeatedly that he wanted to kill Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu deliberately turned a blind eye.

He also knew that this was an opportunity to kill Liu Bang, but this opportunity was also despised by Xiang Yu, who was paranoid about perfectionism.

It's not that Xiang Yu is stupid. Judging from past events, Xiang Yu is not only not stupid, but also has a certain war mind.If a martial artist didn't know a little bit of strategy in troubled times, he would have died a long time ago.

Compared with the outcome of the war, what Xiang Yu valued was his face.Liu Bang came to Xiang Yu's army with great fanfare, which is well known in the world. If Xiang Yu killed Liu Bang, it would violate his inner perfectionism.

This will not only make Xiang Yu lose face, but also bear his unjust infamy.

Xiang Yu is a person who aspires to be the first emperor through the ages, how can he allow himself to be stained with injustice in his life?

So what he wants is to win in an upright manner. If the war is not just for him to win, it will be a great shame.
