Are lean and victorious. Where did Li Zicheng and Xiang Yu lose?

Poor and victorious, where did Xiang Yu and Li Zicheng lose? There are countless heroes in the history of China. Some people succeed, others fail. No matter success or failure, they all disappear with the passage of time, leaving only legends sung through the ages. The sadness of losers always makes people feel more, perhaps because of sympathy or resentment, but in my opinion, it is more because of the profound lessons.

The losers followed. Today I will talk about Xiang Yu and Li Zicheng, two losers who are only one step away from success. Let's talk about Xiang Yu first. What is the biggest feeling for Xiang Yu? Feather's bravery is unique for thousands of years.

This means that if Xiang Yu has a brave man, there will be no second one in a thousand years. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of tree people, and a thousand years of tree gods. Once in a thousand years, and this Xiang Yu is undoubtedly a model of God's descent. Unfortunately, this man of God also lost, that is, he finally defeated himself, leaving a story of winning a battle and finally falling short, which was mourned by future generations. So why did Xiang Yu fail? Worth exploring!

All this, in my opinion, can be seen from the hongmen banquet, and the key to his failure is determination. Before the hongmen banquet, xiang yu actually knew about killing liu bang, otherwise he wouldn't have acquiesced in so many things in front of him. Liu Bang, who was going to kill people at the banquet, came whether he wanted to or not. Talk first, then give gifts. Anyway, apologizing is a big boost. Under a series of public relations attacks, Xiang Yu began to hesitate.

So Fan Zeng beat about the bush, it's hard to hear, and how Liu Bang got the fish on the chopping block depends on Xiang Yu's mood. If a person with normal thinking or a little determination is allowed to deal with this problem, he will definitely say that he would rather kill 1000 people by mistake than let one person go. For example, a comrade in later generations is a follower of such a policy. Xiang Yu just didn't do it, showing neither support nor opposition, and finally missed the opportunity under indecision.

Not only missed the opportunity, but also betrayed his informant! This informer is Sajima Cao Wushang of Liu Bang camp. Poor Cao thought that betraying Liu Bang and following Xiang Yu was a turning point in his life, but he didn't know the time to go out and enter the door. He thought that Xiang Yu, a hero, had exposed all his dense things.

This is the result that people are not allowed to judge. Xiang Yu's indecision made Fan Zeng impatient and tried his best to make people assassinate him. The result was stirred up by Xiang Bo in his own camp. This reflects another problem, that is, Xiang Yu's heart is actually unstable, and even Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo didn't think of Xiang Yu. Do you think his team has a future?

Xiang Bo ate an inside job, which reflected the hidden trouble of Xiang Yu's team, and the murder of Cao Wushang also reflected Xiang Yu's naivety. This different performance of the two people inside and outside reflects Xiang Yu's poor leadership temperament. The whole Hongmen banquet is almost a seemingly powerful Xiang Yu camp, and internal problems always break out! Xiang Zhuang, who was in charge of the assassination, reacted badly to martial arts, and finally let Fan Kuai take advantage of the loophole to save Liu Bang.

Xiang Bo who defected seems to be loyal to his buddies, but in fact he is a credulous pedant, and finally betrayed his family. Fan Zeng, who has made a lot of efforts, seems to have made efforts for Xiang Yu, but in fact he is also a person who knows little. What happened to him? Finally, the most important thing is Xiang Yu, who first adopted Fan Zeng's opinion, and finally did not kill Liu Bang under Liu Bang's public relations, which not only broke Fan Zeng's heart, but also left endless future trouble.

Well, after the oolong was put down, Liu Bang ran away, and Xiang Yu regretted it! The most important thing is that he let Liu Bang know the three weaknesses of Xiang Yu. The first is the weakness of character, that is indecision. The second strategic weakness is that the overall situation is too bad. The third is the weakness of employing people, that is, it is too easy to trust people and be fooled.

Liu bang is completely different. As an old rascal who knows the world well, Liu Bang has his own style of doing things. He has no doubt about employing people. Although his acting skills are absurd, as long as he makes a decision, he will listen to opinions and stick to it. Otherwise, Han Xin himself, how could he jump from obscurity to general?

Otherwise, three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, how can we help? Xiang Yu's three weaknesses do not exist here in Liu Bang, which should be regarded as the biggest difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and this difference has become the key to their final victory or defeat! From the hongmen banquet to the embattled, but four years, the original powerful overlord ended, and Liu Bang, who stepped onto the front desk, succeeded! History is just a recurring lesson. Thousands of years later, there was a man who repeated the lessons of history again and again. When he was only one step away from success, he failed, and that was Li Zicheng, the king of the late Ming Dynasty.

To say Li Zicheng's failure, we must say a battle of stones! The Battle of Stones took place in April, when Li Zicheng had just conquered Beijing, and it was estimated that the body of Emperor Chongzhen would soon get cold. Li Zicheng's army, which has just captured Beijing, is more likely to appease or even surrender to Wu Sangui if Beijing is a little quieter and Wu Sangui's father and concubine are in hand. After all, nobody wants to be a traitor, and neither does Wu Sangui.

And Li Zicheng, whose royal command was lax, didn't do all this well. Finally, Wu Sangui, who turned into a beautiful woman in anger, made a psychological excuse for herself, and then delayed surrendering to start the life of the first mouse. Li Zicheng made a big mistake when he saw this situation. He gave up the strong city of Beijing and took the initiative to attack Wu Sangui. This is why the longevity is too long to eat arsenic. Wu Sangui's Ning Guan fighters are not comparable to the Ming army hanged by Li Zicheng in the later period, but the elite troops stationed in Liaodong facing the Qing army.

They are all cavalry. You're a group of peasant infantry against cavalry? Isn't this uncomfortable for yourself? However, Li Zicheng turned a blind eye to all this, so a large group of people went. A stone, also called Jiumenkou, is located in a canyon15km north of Shanhaiguan. It is named after the nine arches that protect the city. Its strategic position is very critical. You can go to Jinzhou and Shenyang in the east, Zunhua and Beijing in the west. It is one of the important passes of the Great Wall in Ming Dynasty. The strategic position is so important that it can be said that it is a battleground for military strategists.

Well, it should be common sense to be fully prepared for such a place. But Li Zicheng's army is not so, but underestimates the enemy. Don't talk about the enemy's discoloration, know yourself and know yourself. I'm not even ready. So many counselors and military commanders didn't expect Wu Sangui and Dourgen to attack together! This has to be said to be an important mistake.

As a result, Li Zicheng was dumbfounded when he saw the Qing army. And the composition of the army is also very problematic. The striker was Tang Tong, who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty. I have to say, the person is unknown. The most embarrassing thing is that Niu Jinxing, who stayed in Beijing, was completely helpless in the face of the front-line rout. These three major mistakes are linked step by step.

Step one: underestimate the imprudence of the enemy (go out if you are hot-headed); The second step: improper use of personnel (using surrendered generals to play forward); The third step: poor strategic vision (I didn't expect the allied forces in Wu Sangui in the Qing Dynasty); Coupled with unfavorable battlefield command, the final failure is inevitable.

On the other hand, Dourgen, the ultimate beneficiary of this war, is really wily. After receiving Wu Sangui's tip-off, the army immediately set out, and then made a wish to Wu Sangui to be an official, so that he could take refuge in himself completely, and then attacked the Li Zicheng army with Wu Sangui as the striker. Finally, when Li Zicheng's army and Wu Sangui's army were fighting each other, they came out to clean up the mess.

Then use their own powerful force to deter Wu Sangui and make him kneel. Conveniently and severely suppress the spirit of Li Zicheng, step by step, step by step to maximize strategic interests.

This is the strategist! Although he didn't like Manchu very much, Dourgen's talent at that moment really surpassed that of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui. Thus, dourgen is much more clever than Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng's failure cannot be blamed on Chen Yuanyuan's beauty or Wu Sangui's defection. He has only himself to blame. He didn't recognize the ambition of the Qing dynasty, the importance of Wu Sangui and the fighting capacity of the Qing army.

In the end, it was completely defeated because it underestimated the enemy's intelligence deviation and improper command. Although Xiang Yu and Li Zicheng have experienced thousands of years of history, the reasons for their failure are similar, such as unclear employment, inadequate preparation and indecision. These are the normal reasons for people's failure, but the losers are still wave after wave, which is also a wonderful flower. When reading history, you should read lessons or learn from history. Where did these allusions come from? Successful people should learn from their experiences, and so should the lessons of losers. Only in this way can we understand history.
