What kind of person is Xiang Yu?

At the end of Qin Dynasty, he was the leader of peasant uprising, an outstanding strategist, and the grandson of Xiang Yan, a famous Chu State.

Xiang Yu (232 BC-202 BC), whose real name was Ji Xiang, was born in Xia Xiang, Surabaya (now Suqian City, Jiangsu Province).

As the representative of China's military thought "military situation" (military situation, military tactics, military yin and yang, military skills), he is a military commander who is famous for his outstanding personal force. Li Wanfang has an evaluation of "the bravery of feathers is unparalleled in the ages".

Xiang Yu's military practice lasted for 8 years, and the process was very simple. First, he followed his uncle Xiang Liang, killed the satrap of Huiji, and declared against Qin. Then he led the troops to save Zhao, defeated the main force, and successfully lifted the siege of Julu. Then, he led the vassal army into Guanzhong, carved up the world, sealed 16 vassals, and he himself became the overlord of the western Chu.

Success fascinated him and strengthened his martial arts concept. Unexpectedly, after he became the overlord, the governors didn't listen to him, so they had to attack everywhere and put out fires everywhere. As a result, the territory became smaller and smaller, and there were more and more enemies, which eventually became Liu Bang's bag.

Early experience

Sima Qian's Historical Records: Xiang was General Chu and was sealed in Xiangcheng, so he was named Xiang. When Xiang Yu was a teenager, Xiang Liang taught him to read. It didn't take him long to learn, and Xiang Liang taught him to learn the sword, so Xiang Liang was particularly angry. Xiang Yu said: "Reading and writing can only remember people's names, and learning swords can only fight against one person. If you want to learn, you can fight with 10 thousand people. " Xiang Liang then taught Xiang Yu to learn the art of war. Xiang Yu was very happy, but he only got a general idea and refused to study it in depth.

Qin Shihuang visited Huiji and sailed to Zhejiang. Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang watched together. Xiang Yu said to Xiang Liang, "Qin Shihuang can change." Xiang Liang quickly covered Xiang Yu's mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense, or it will bring disaster to the whole family." Xiang Liang therefore regards Xiang Yu with special respect or new views. Xiang Yu is more than eight feet tall, can carry a tripod and is brilliant. Even Wuzhong disciples were afraid of Xiang Yu.
