Talk about Han Xin Pit

Both Xiang Yu and Han Xin have the label "More with less". In the decisive battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu, with the label of "less wins more", lost to Han Xin, with the label of "less wins more". There are two main reasons.

First of all, Xiang Yu is not always able to "win more with less".

Among the wars that Xiang Yu has experienced, the most famous wars of "winning more with less" are the Battle of Julu and the Battle of Pengcheng. Other wars have their own winners and losers, and there is no such thing as "winning more with less". Even the battle of Julu won more with less, not entirely because of how fierce Xiang Yu was, but because Xiang Yu took advantage of gamblers' psychological poker and then stood on Xiang Yu's side, and Xiang Yu won. As for the battle of Pengcheng, how can we win more with less? How to defeat hundreds of infantry with 30 thousand elite cavalry? Don't you know that on the battlefield, a fine cavalry can top ten infantry?

Secondly, in the Battle of Gaixia, Han Xin commanded far more troops than Xiang Yu.

In fact, not all the wars that Han Xin experienced were "more with less". For example, in the War of Destroying Wei, the Han army commanded by Han Xin was not necessarily less than that commanded by Wei Jun, and in the War of Destroying Qi, the Han army commanded by Han Xin was not necessarily less than that commanded by Tian Guang, the king of Qi. In the battle of Gaixia, it was very clear that "more wins than less", which was completely different from what everyone imagined.

The Battle of Gaixia was a war of annihilation against Xiang Yu's Chu army. In that World War I, Liu Bang put all the Han troops on board, and Han Xin, the king of Qi, put all the Qi troops on board. Liang Wang Peng Yue, Ying Bu, Huai Nan Wang and other governors also put all their wealth on board. Everyone's goal is clear, that is, to wipe out Xiang Yu's Chu army. It is roughly estimated that there should be 700,000 to 800, and Xiang Yu is in Dong.

To sum up, Xiang Yu is not as bad as we thought, and it is understandable that Xiang Yu was defeated by the allied governors headed by Han Xin and Liu Bang.
