Chapter 43 Why is there such a big difference between people?

"Hahaha, hahaha," Liu Bang half-lying and half-sitting comfortably on the dragon throne in the Qin Palace, wearing the royal crown on his head, his thoughts drifting again, "I'm rich! Everything belongs to me, Liu Bang! I, Liu Bang, am just a country scoundrel, and I'm going to be the emperor!"

At this time, Liu Yuan's discordant and stiff voice sounded: "Xiang Yu claimed that he had a million elite soldiers and generals, at least half of that, that is, 500,000 soldiers. We claimed to have 200,000 soldiers, but the actual number of troops we can mobilize is less than 100,000. The gap in strength is too big! To become a true founding emperor, even if you have cheats, you still have a long way to go!"

Liu Bang suddenly came to his senses again: "Yes, it is not easy to own the world! How difficult is it to defeat Xiang Yu? But I really can't bear to part with these rare treasures and precious things!"

Liu Yuan said: "If you obtain these now and ascend to the throne, you will definitely break up with Xiang Yu immediately and fight to the death! It is really not advisable to fight Xiang Yu head-on at the moment. These external things are not brought with you when you are born and cannot be taken with you when you die. What's the point of mentioning them? One day when we defeat Xiang Yu, make a comeback and control the world, these things are really not worth mentioning!"

"The difference in strength is too great. We must be patient and act accordingly!"

"Come here, seal up all the things in the palace!" Although Liu Bang was extremely reluctant, he still followed Liu Yuan's advice. After pacifying the people of Xianyang, he led his army out of Xianyang and still stationed his troops in Bashang.

When Xiang Yu learned that Liu Bang had entered Xianyang City first, he was furious, "It is unbelievable that Liu Bang, a mere pavilion chief, had only been in office for a few years, but he actually entered Xianyang City before me!" In a rage, he led his troops to attack Hangu Pass controlled by Liu Bang.

One month after Liu Bang entered Xianyang City, Xiang Yu's vanguard troops arrived at the foot of Hangu Pass, and Xiang Yu's army was stationed at Hongmen.

Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu's counselor, felt that Liu Bang wanted to achieve great things and should not be kept, so he suggested that Xiang Yu host a banquet for Liu Bang at Hongmen, intending to take the opportunity to kill Liu Bang.

Xiang Yu then followed Fan Zeng's plan and sent people to Bashang to invite Liu Bang to a banquet at Hongmen.

After receiving the invitation, Liu Bang first communicated with Liu Yuan in his mind.

Liu Bang said: "There is no good banquet. If I go, I am afraid I will die. If I don't go, the two armies may go to war. It's really a dilemma!"

Liu Yuan said, "There may be a chance of survival if you go. Try to be patient and show weakness. Then act according to the situation. If there is someone dancing with swords at the banquet, you should arrange Fan Kuai to dance with him to protect yourself! Remember!"

The next day, Liu Bang was invited to Hongmen. Fan Zeng had already set up a tight net and was waiting for Xiang Yu's order to kill Liu Bang immediately.

As soon as Liu Bang saw Xiang Yu, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The general and I have joined forces to attack the tyrannical Qin. I never thought that I could enter Xianyang with the general first. Now I will present all the sealed account books in Xianyang City. Liu Bang dare not act on his own. The Qin King Ziying is temporarily detained. Please make the decision! Please confer the title of King of Guanzhong as soon as possible."

When Xiang Yu saw that Liu Bang respected him so much and did not compete with him for the throne of Guanzhong, his anger disappeared without a trace. So he quietly asked Fan Zeng to withdraw the ambush troops secretly arranged and entertained Liu Bang and his party lavishly.

Fan Zeng also secretly instigated Xiang Zhuang to pretend to dance with a sword to liven up the atmosphere. "Xiang Zhuang's dance with a sword was aimed at Pei Gong," and he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Liu Bang. However, Xiang Bo and Fan Kuai danced with swords together to fight against him, and he was cleverly rescued.

Liu Yuan was worried that Xiang Yu's mind would change again, which would be detrimental to Liu Bang. So, while Liu Bang was using the toilet, Liu Yuan advised Liu Bang to pretend to be drunk, and left without saying goodbye on the pretext of "running to the toilet", and fled from Hongmen alone on horseback.

At this time, Xiang Yu thought that Liu Bang's military force was relatively small and did not take Liu Bang too seriously.

After Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he was stubborn and arrogant. He killed the Qin prince Ziying after drinking. He was worried that Liu Bang would be named the King of Guanzhong and make Xianyang his capital, so he deliberately destroyed the city and killed the soldiers and civilians of Xianyang. He also looted all the rare treasures, precious objects, and beautiful women in the palace.

Xiang Yu ordered people to set fire to the Afang Palace and the houses of residents in Xianyang City. The fire lasted for three months. The magnificent Xianyang City, which was built up with the wealth of the entire Qin Dynasty, was turned into a ruined and dilapidated scorched earth by Xiang Yu.

The common people who survived near the city of Xianyang all hated Xiang Yu to the core. When they thought of the three rules Liu Bang had made before, that he would not take a penny, the common people were filled with emotion. Why was there such a big difference between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in terms of character?
