High school Chinese requires a question after the Hongmen banquet, which is talented.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Xiang Yu is a cruel and easy-to-kill military commander. More than ten million people died at the hands of Xiang Yu. But Xiang Yu's killing has his principles: as long as he stops his ambition of revenge and dominating the world, no matter how high or low, no matter how strong or weak, no matter how old or young, he will be ruthlessly and completely eliminated. This is because Xiang Yu grew up in a social environment immersed in an atmosphere of revenge. History shows that from the mid-Spring and Autumn Period, Chu dominated the Central Plains; Although it declined later, even in the Warring States period, Chu and Qin also had unified qualifications. However, the State of Chu was finally destroyed by the State of Qin. The Chu people with strong national consciousness can't accept this cruel reality, and the flame of revenge has been burning in their hearts. Xiang Yu is not only a Chu person, but also a descendant of Chu nobles. His ancestors were generals of Chu for generations, and his grandfather Xiang Yan died for Chu. Therefore, his family has a flesh-and-blood relationship with the Chu Dynasty. Although Chu was destroyed, Xiang did not stop his revenge activities. Xiang Liang used the Art of War Department to help Wuzhong guests' children, and Xiang Yu said that Qin Shihuang could take his place, all of which were concrete manifestations of this revenge. Xiang can be said to be a figure who combines national hatred and family hatred. More than one hundred years of hatred, more than one hundred years of blood and tears, strong revenge anger and personal ambition have jointly created the hero Xiang Yu (see Chen's Comments on Historical Records, Shantou University Press, 1996 edition). It can be said that Xiang Yu only fought for revenge and hegemony all his life, and all his actions were carried out under the control of these two goals. Then, after the Chen She Uprising broke out, Xiang Yu, under the arrangement of his uncle Xiang Liang, killed the rebellious soldiers in Huiji County and the government with lightning speed, seized the political power, and began his ambitious and omnipotent life. When the general, known as the top scholar, was ordered to save Zhao, he stayed for more than forty days, wandering and watching, which brought the cause of resisting Qin to the most critical juncture. He killed decisively, swept away the obstacles of marching, won the crown of the three armed forces and defeated the main force with the momentum of burning one's bridges, thus reversing the situation and laying the most solid foundation for the final elimination of Qin. When he found that Qin surrendered because he was "unwilling to obey Guanzhong, things would be dangerous", he did not hesitate to order that "the Chu army attacked more than 200 thousand chi at night south of Xin 'an". Why did such a decisive commander-in-chief of the three armies let go of his future enemy Liu Bang easily at the Hongmen banquet? Is it really his indecisive character that has the upper hand? No. Because, in Xiang Yu's view, Liu Bang was not an obstacle to his goal, and he needed Liu Bang's cooperation at that time. If Liu Bang is easily killed, it will cause dissatisfaction and panic among the governors and lead to the disintegration of the anti-Qin alliance. It is in this context, coupled with Xiang Bo's matchmaking and Liu Bang's condescending apology, that Xiang Yu finally gave up his plan to destroy Liu Bang. It should be said that this is not Xiang Yu's blindness, but his wise decision after careful consideration.

Of course, we can't avoid the final result of history, and we can't help but admit that Xiang Yu didn't see through Liu Bang's ambition in time, but we can't blame Xiang Yu for releasing Liu Hongmen, and we can't think that releasing Liu Hongmen is a short-sighted performance. Looking at Xiang Yu's biography, we can't see that Xiang Yu is a simple-minded person politically. On the contrary, he is insightful on many issues. Look at what he said before he killed him: "We will attack the State of Qin with all our strength, but we can't hold on for long. At this age, the hungry people are poor, the foot soldiers eat taro, and the army has no food. It is a high meeting for drinking. Not to lead troops across the river with Zhao Zhili's grain, but to attack Qin with Zhao Zhili, is "bearing its disadvantages." "Husband with the power of the qin dynasty to attack the newly created zhao, is bound to raise zhao. Zhao Ju and Qiang Qin, our promise! Moreover, the national army is newly broken, the king is restless, sweeping the territory, belonging exclusively to the general, which is related to national security. Today, I am not selfish for soldiers, nor a minister of the country. " A Yu Can can't break Liu Bang, which can only prove that Liu Bang's camouflage skills are excellent, his forgery skills are superb, and his lying skills are superb. How can Xiang Yu resist such a "three highs" political hooligan? As historians have pointed out, the dispute between Chu and Han is actually "the dispute between the fox and the lion, and the dispute between the villain and the gentleman" (see China Civilization History by Qi Liang, Huacheng Press, 200 1 edition). This reminds us of a famous episode in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms-cooking wine on heroes. In fact, Cao Cao is testing whether Liu Bei has the ambition and ability to be king, and Liu Bei knows Cao Cao's scheming well and handles it carefully. When Cao Cao said that the heroes in the world were "only you and Gu Er", Liu Bei was so scared that even his chopsticks fell to the ground. Fortunately, a thunder helped Liu Bei a lot and fooled Cao Cao. Cao Cao thought that even a person who was afraid of thunder could not become a climate, relaxed the supervision of Liu Bei and let Liu Bei escape. What kind of character is Cao Cao? He is the best in the world, and it is inevitable to be cheated, let alone others. Looking at Liu Bang's despicable performances in Historical Records, we can see that his hypocrisy and treachery are not inferior to Liu Bei, but comparable to Cao Cao, who is not a political strategist of Xiang Yu. Therefore, it is not beyond Xiang Yu's power to see through Liu Bang's political ambitions at the Hongmen banquet. If we connect with the tragedy of Han Xin, we can prove this point even more. According to Records of the Historian Biography of Huaiyin Hou, after Han Xin defeated Longyi, Xiang Yu once sent a military attache to persuade Han Xin: "Hanwang doesn't have to be in the hands of Xiang Wang. Xiang Wang lived a miserable life, and then he had to take off, and he won many battles and hit Xiang Wang again. This is not credible. Although the first step was to be intimate friends with Hanwang, I tried my best to fight for it and was finally captured by it. The first step is that the king is still alive today. " It can be said that these words show that after experiencing a painful lesson, Xiang Yu thoroughly recognized Liu Bang's true face and saw his lofty aspirations. It's a pity that a clever man like Han Xin was confused by Liu Bang's hypocrisy. After Kuai Tong's incisive analysis, he still insisted: "Hanwang met me very thick, took me with his car, dressed me with his clothes, and ate me with him." He rejected Kuai Tong's suggestion, because he thought he had done more work and all three families had been slaughtered.
