Chapter 26 6. Liu Bang's position in Xiang Yu's heart

Liu Bang's destruction of Chu was four years after the enfeoffment of the drama, and the changes during the period were unpredictable. We cannot use the results to infer the reasons, otherwise we will not draw objective conclusions.But what is certain is that Liu Bang at that time did not have the ambition to dominate the world, and Xiang Yu did not take this little Liu Bang seriously.So later Liu Bang decided on Sanqin while Xiang Yu was busy attacking Qi, and Xiang Yu still chose to deal with Qi instead of Liu Bang. It is true that there are geographical reasons for this, because Qi State is close to Chu State and Liu Bang is far away from Chu State. According to the most common principle of far-distance and close-attack, Xiang Yu will not deal with Liu Bang first.But this is not the main reason. The fundamental reason is that Xiang Yu didn't take Liu Bang seriously.Although there were many people attached to Liu Bang at that time, and Liu Bang also had a tendency to become a big one, he still didn't have a big climate, and he was still far behind Qi Guo.Therefore, it is correct for Xiang Yu to choose the strategy of attacking Qidi first.

Some people always like to make some meaningless assumptions, saying what would happen if Xiang Yu attacked Liu Bang first, and would draw the conclusion that the outcome of Chu and Han is unknown, and history may be rewritten; in conclusion.What I want to ask is: If this is the case, will the Qi Congress become big?What is the essential difference between Chu and Han's final struggle for supremacy and Chu and Qi's final struggle for supremacy?And in fact Qi is not easy to fight, Xiang Yu can't attack Qi for a long time, and Liu Bang's attack on Chu, Xiang Yu only brought 30,000 people back to rescue Pengcheng, and defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 troops.Compared with Liu Banglai, the bone of Qi State is much more difficult to crack.

Perhaps due to the influence of opera, people are used to facial makeup of Xiang Yu.Even if Xiang Yu has no political mind, he still has his own analysis and judgment on the current political situation. It is not accidental that he was able to defeat Zhang Han, nor can he accomplish it by relying on brute force alone. Xiang Yu did not choose to fight Liu Bang first, and there is another very important reason, that is, Liu Bang did not clearly raise the banner of anti-Chu at first.Liu Bang also established the Sanqin and occupied Guanzhong, and he did not occupy Xiang Yu's territory, just like the mutual attacks between the vassal states during the Warring States Period, which is really normal.However, Tian Rong of Qidi was not crowned king by Xiang Yu at that time, but he dared to openly destroy the three Qi kings entrusted by Xiang Yu, and blatantly pulled up the banner of anti-Chu. lest others follow suit.
