The helplessness behind the failure of overlord Xiang Yu's Hongmen banquet to kill Liu Bang

It's not that Xiang Yu didn't want to kill Liu Bang, but his acquiescence to Fan Zeng once explained this point. His "unbearable" is actually that he doesn't want to bear the notoriety of killing people. Liu bang took the opportunity to go to the toilet and slipped away along the urethra before he finished drinking the wine at the hongmen banquet. This makes people wonder. Liu Bang came to the Hongmen Banquet, accompanied by only "Hundred Rides". Xiang Yu wants to kill him. Can he escape? Even if you go to the bathroom, you have to be watched. So some people think that Liu Bang slipped away on the surface, but was actually let go by Xiang Yu. Does this analysis make sense? That's right. I did get to the point, but I think it was only half right: Liu Bang was indeed released, but it was not Xiang Yu who let him go.

Objectively speaking, Liu Bang escaped because Xiang Yu gave him the green light, but this does not prove that Xiang Yu did not want to kill him. On the wine table, Xiang Zhuang dances sword, which is intended to be Pei Gong. Can Xiang Yu see it? His heart is like a mirror, but he didn't stop it. My understanding is acquiescence: he is eager for Xiang Zhuang to kill Liu Bang. If Fan Kuai Cheng Xiaojin hadn't been killed halfway, the later situation seemed really unimaginable, but the arrival of Fan Kuai virtually threatened the safety of Xiang Yu, so Xiang Yu could only put on a show. Interestingly, when I heard that Liu Bang had slipped away, my father Fan Zeng almost scolded Xiang Yu: "Alas! The shaft is not enough. The king of the world will be praised repeatedly, but today I am complaining that Xiang Yu didn't kill Liu Bang. In fact, what qualifications does Fan Zeng have to accuse Xiang Yu? He is to blame. Because he didn't understand Xiang Yu's real thoughts and because of his "wooden brain", the Hongmen banquet missed many opportunities to kill Liu Bang again and again.

I'm not talking nonsense. When Liu Bang was in charge of the garrison, Fan Zeng suggested to Xiang Yu: "Pei Gong was greedy for money when he was in Shandong, so beautiful. I entered the customs today, but I didn't bring anything, and the woman didn't have any luck. This is not a small ambition. I wish I was angry. They are all dragons and tigers, and the grain is abundant. This son of heaven is also angry. Don't lose it. " Xiang Yu was noncommittal after hearing this. Xiang Yu's noncommittal, actually acquiesced in Fan Zeng's suggestion, at least he didn't object. As the "number one", Xiang Yu must not show this state: OK, seize the opportunity and kill Liu Bang! Such a thing is indescribable; If you speak out, you will get a bad reputation for injustice. How to win hearts and conquer the world? This is the difficulty for Xiang Yu to be the "first". He can only acquiesce in Fan Zeng to do it, and he can wipe his ass by taking the back road.

On the contrary, if Xiang Yu disagrees with Fan Zeng's suggestion, he will definitely express his views clearly. Before Liu Bang went to the Hongmen Banquet, Xiang Bo hinted to Xiang Yu: "How dare Pei Gong enter without breaking the Guanzhong? It is better to meet a good person today than an unjust person. " After accepting some small favors, Xiang Bo suggested eating a lining and choosing a husband. Whether Xiang Yu knows his motives, let's call it a day, but Xiang Yu immediately agreed. This attitude, whether true or not, is well expressed. However, Xiang Yu at this time, I thought his commitment to Xiang Bo was actually a gesture; His real idea must be that Liu Bang went to the Hongmen Banquet. Fan Zeng would seize this opportunity according to what he acquiesced, and had already arranged the corresponding preparations.

It's a pity that Fan Zeng didn't get the news of Xiang Yu's acquiescence. But he didn't make all the preparations for the assassination of Liu Bang, so that Xiang Yu was passive when he was abducted at the banquet. First, Fan Kuai forced his way into the banquet tent, which obviously exposed the loopholes in security. It is not difficult to imagine that these guards have not been carefully selected, giving the impression that they have not tightened this string ideologically and have not entered a state of "combat readiness". Second, in the middle of the banquet, Fan Zeng said, "The number of kings displayed by jade is three, and the number of kings should not be Wang Moran". It seems that people are waiting for Xiang Yu's signal, and his men are ready to start work. That's what I thought when I first read this passage, but it's not. Fan Zeng's suggestion is that Xiang Yu should kill Liu Bang as soon as possible, and he should do it himself. Listen, it's a joke. Don't say Xiang Yu doesn't want to do it himself. Even if Xiang Yu wants to do it himself, do you still need his tips?

Third, when Xiang Yu didn't do this, Fan Zeng went out to find Zhuang and let him act as an assassin. Afraid of Xiang Zhuang's resignation, he made a profound ideological mobilization and said, "Your Majesty can't bear it. If you want to live or die, please sit down with your sword and kill Pei Gong. No, if it belongs to all, it will be captured. " This is obviously a last-minute cramming, indicating that before this, he had no intention of assassinating Liu Bang. Fourth, Liu Bang was not killed on the wine table, but the opportunity was still lurking. The best chance is when Liu Bang goes to the toilet. But strangely, Fan Zeng didn't know what he was thinking at this time, so such a good opportunity was missed. If he had prepared an "ambush" outside in advance, it would be strange not to chop Liu Bang up at this time. Fifth, Liu Bang left Hong Men like nobody's business. No one stopped him in time and no one told him in time. When Liu Bang came to his residence and Sean went in, the people inside knew that Liu Bang had slipped away. It is not difficult to see from this point that there is obviously no ambush outside the banquet tent.

Fan Zeng is a red man around Xiang Yu and is regarded as his father. He can be said to be the first adviser of Xiang Yu, but his IQ at the Hongmen banquet is simply naive, which is really surprising. A trusted adviser can't even swallow the meat in his mouth. This self-defeating performance seems to disappoint Xiang Yu. After the hongmen banquet, xiang yu gradually weakened Fan Zeng's power. Is it also related to this? By the way, Xiang Yu used such fragile people as Fan Zeng and Xiang Bo. How did they conquer the world? Even if it is filmed, it seems that it can't stay. Of course, this is beside the point. In short, it is not difficult to see from this series of signs: 1. Xiang Yu didn't want to kill Liu Bang, and the acquiescence to Fan Zeng has shown this; His "unbearable" is actually that he doesn't want to bear the notoriety of killing people. 2. Fan Zeng failed to understand Xiang Yu's real thoughts, and then failed to fully prepare for the assassination of Liu Bang, which led to the missed opportunity of the Hongmen banquet. He should take full responsibility for such a terrible thing. Liu bang seems to have slipped away, but in fact he was let go. It was none other than Fan Zeng who let him go.
