Chapter 62 6. The power of oneself and the power of all beings

Xiang Yu finally attributed the failure to fate, which is a kind of helplessness that cannot be recovered.In fact, from another perspective, it is also a kind of excessive self-confidence.He has always been full of confidence in himself, and his countless successes have continuously deepened his self-esteem and self-confidence, and eventually turned into pride.He blindly followed his own temper, and finally reached the bottom of his life. Xiang Yu is quite confident in his ability on the battlefield. As he himself said, "Those who deserve to be defeated, those who are attacked are subdued, and they are not defeated."This is of course a bit exaggerated. Xiang Yu is not undefeated. For example, at the beginning of the uprising, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu jointly attacked Dingtao, "Dingtao has not yet fallen", and later attacked Waihuang, "Waihuang has not yet fallen". Wherever you fight, you win wherever you fight.But on the whole, it is basically true that Xiang Yu has never been defeated.Failure to capture the city cannot be regarded as a failure, after all, the specific battle must be viewed in conjunction with the entire battle.

Such a prestige, but now it has fallen into such a field, it is naturally the reason of God, not because of Xiang Yu's bad tactics.In fact, Xiang Yu didn't know that he won because of his confidence, and he lost because of his confidence.Because self-confidence makes him strong and brave, and it also makes him self-willed and too egotistical. A person's fate is related to his character.An extremely self-confident person will become extremely closed and self-centered, and will encounter more resistance in life, because the power of one person is too small after all, and it will naturally be extremely difficult and dangerous for one person to fight against all beings.And the more difficult and rough it is, the more confused he is, and in the end he can only attribute this confusion to fate.This is the case with Xiang Yu.However, if a person tolerates all living beings and relies on all living beings, his strength will be greater, things will be done quickly, and there will be fewer obstacles.In fact, this is not a matter of fate, but the result of human efforts.Liu Bang can basically be classified into this category.

Xiang Yu's failure was not because he was not strong enough, but because he fought against all living beings with his own strength, and in the end he could only be exhausted; Liu Bang's own strength was not as good as Xiang Yu's, but he was able to make use of his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and he used the power of all beings to fight hard. Win or lose.That is to say, Xiang Yu finally lamented the bad fate, but in fact he didn't realize the root of the problem.It is not a matter of fate, but a matter of grasping fate. The predicament of Gaixia's defeat was something that Xiang Yu had never encountered in his life. Before that, even though the confrontation with Liu Bang was very hard, and there was a time when he couldn't take care of the head and tail, but it had never been as miserable as it is now.Faced with the trough of fate, Xiang Yu has been struggling, but he can't sort out his clues, and he has never been able to realize his own shortcomings.In contrast, Liu Bang was much more sober. He was not confused by those visions, because during the confrontation between Chu and Han, until Xiang Yu was defeated, those miraculous visions did not appear again.Maybe Liu Bang knew at that time that relying on the power of all beings is much more affordable than those ghosts and gods.
