Chapter 670: Want to change Xiang Yu’s ending
"Sir." Xiang Liang said, "In fact, Xiang Yu could have a better future, but his final ending was so miserable because of Xiang Liang?"
Qin An thought for a moment and said, "This is very unlikely."
"Why?" Xiang Liang asked puzzled.
Qin An said: "Because his opponent is Liu Bang."
"Is Liu Bang very powerful? He is just a pavilion chief." Xiang Liang said unconvinced.
Qin An smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the pavilion chief, he knows what the people need. As long as all the troops who rise up against the imperial court can meet the needs of the people, they will gain the world."
Of course, the premise is that you must have the strength to fight against the imperial court.
Liu Bang did not have this strength in the early stage, and he had no desire to compete for the world. Until later, his strength became stronger and stronger, and his status became higher and higher, which led to his ambitions bursting.
Especially Liu Bang entered Xianyang City earlier than Xiang Yu. He saw the wealth, power, and beauties in Xianyang City.
There are also dazzling palaces and magnificent decorations. From that moment on, Liu Bang's ambitions were already there.
After Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace, Liu Bang's ambition completely exploded. In his heart, Afang Palace should belong to Liu Bang, not Xiang Yu.
But Xiang Yu burned Afang Palace. Isn't it equivalent to burning Liu Bang's things?
It's a pity that Xiang Yu was the strongest at that time. Whether it was the number of soldiers or the generals under his command, he far exceeded Liu Bang.
The most important point is that Liu Bang did not have any handsome men who could compete with Xiang Yu. Until the appearance of Han Xin, Liu Bang's extinguished ambitions appeared. In the end, Han Xin defeated all enemies, including Xiang Yu.
Let Liu Bang gain the world, but as for Han Xin, he can lead troops and fight, but his emotional intelligence is too low.
Even if Liu Bang promised the country to give him a king of Qi, you can't ask for it openly.
Later, Han Xin was executed. It was a pity to die, otherwise the Huns would not have oppressed the Han Dynasty for so long. "
"What do you mean, sir? Is it possible for Liu Bang to win the world?" Xiang Liang asked again.
Qin An nodded and said: "The possibility is very high. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, unless Xiang Yu can win the hearts and minds of the people.
But look at the things he has done, which of them can win the hearts of the people? That is to say, he deceived a stupid woman like Yu Ji. "
Zhang Han said: "Sir, what you said is true. In "The Conflict between Chu and Han", Xiang Yu issued orders to massacre the city six times in order to win the war.
But from Xiang Yu's mouth, he said that this was to scare the imperial army and surrender directly, so that both the armies of both sides and the people could avoid the suffering of the war.
But he didn't know that the more he massacred the city, the more the officers, soldiers and people guarding the city would not dare to surrender, fearing that Xiang Yu would massacre the city if he was unhappy.
This was an advantage for Liu Bang, and he obtained several cities without any effort. The generals who defended the cities were afraid of surrendering to Xiang Yu, but they were not afraid to surrender to Liu Bang.
Because Liu Bang is known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, the territory he occupied is very convinced by Liu Bang, and under Xiao He's care, the people have enough food and clothing.
This also led to Liu Bang, who originally planned to let Xiang Yu advance to Xianyang City, but had no choice but to advance to Xianyang City.
The one who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. This sentence was said by Mencius. However, when the Seven Kingdoms were alive, no one paid attention to this sentence. Otherwise, it would not be Ying Zheng waiting for the world, and someone else would win the world.
However, Liu Bang demonstrated well the saying that he who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and people in all dynasties have kept this saying in their mouths ever since. "
"Then sir, if Xiang Yu hasn't revolted yet and wants to change his ending, what can be done?" Xiang Liang asked.
Qin An thought for a while and said, "It's very simple. Just let him study more and care more about the people."
Zhang Han frowned slightly and said, "Lao Xiang, you want to change the ending of your ancestor Xiang Yu so much. Do you want your ancestor to conquer the world after destroying the Qin Dynasty?"
Xiang Liang was shocked and immediately shook his head and explained: "No, no, no,
Lao Zhang, don't say that. I just want to know if my ancestors can change and get a better future.
Moreover, we are about to help the village chief. I am afraid that Yu'er will have the same problem as now, so I want him to get rid of it in advance so as not to hurt everyone. "
"Really?" Zhang Han asked suspiciously.
Xiang Liang said immediately: "Of course. Otherwise, why would I ask sir."
Zhang Han nodded doubtfully.
Qin An said: "What are you two talking about? Xiang Yu has committed suicide for two thousand years. Lao Xiang, I know you are grieving for your ancestors.
But everything is irreversible. If you are really worried that Xiang Xiaoyu will follow in Xiang Yu's footsteps, then I will give you a suggestion. "
"Please give me some advice, sir."
"Don't take advice seriously. Suggestions are purely suggestions. The first one is to read. Reading will make you understand, and it can also cultivate your moral character and change a person's character.
The second is to take off all official status and live among the people for a year and a half. He will have a deep understanding of how miserable the people's lives are and what the people really need.
In fact, the people are very simple. They work from sunrise to sunrise to solve the problem of food and clothing.
If Xiang Xiaoyu can always understand this truth and serve the people wholeheartedly, then his future is boundless.
If he is like Xiang Yu, domineering, self-righteous, arrogant, and willful, then it will be useless no matter what you do.
There is a saying that it is easy to change a country but hard to change one's nature. Sometimes it is very difficult to change a person's personality. You must be mentally prepared. "
"Thank you sir. When I go back, I will teach Yu'er well and assist the village chief when the time comes." Xiang Liang said.
Qin An nodded and said, "Lao Xiang, seeing that you care so much about your nephew, I will give you another suggestion."
"Sir, please speak."
Qin An smiled and said: "There is a saying outside that if the big trumpet is useless, then practice a new trumpet."
"What big size? Small size?" Xiang Liang asked with a confused look on his face.
He looked at Zhang Han, who also looked confused, and they both looked at Qin An.
Qin An explained: "The big one represents the eldest, the small one represents the second eldest, and of course there are the third and fourth eldest, which represents the youngest. Anyway, it represents the youngest.
For example, Xiang Yu is the boss, but if the boss is not good enough and has no future, then train Xiang Zhuang. If Xiang Zhuang is not good enough, then train another one.
Until you develop a good one. "
"It's so difficult to train a person, and it takes a lot of time. I'm afraid it won't work."
Qin An smiled and said: "It is never easy to train children. If it were easy, would the world still be short of talents?
Lao Xiang, if you are really worried about Xiang Xiaoyu's future, I will still say the same thing, let him read more, let him know more about the people's conditions, he looks like a general, and add one more thing, study more military books. "
