Chapter 550

"There will be false things written by Tai Shigong?" This is the first reaction of many people when they see this sentence. In their opinion, there is absolutely no false in the historical records written by Sima Qian.

Even if there are fake places, it is only because the time is too long and it is difficult to collect all the historical materials, so some mistakes have appeared, and it is absolutely impossible for Tai Shigong himself to make fakes.

And the history of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony is absolutely impossible to falsify, because the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony is only more than 90 years away from the time of Tai Shigong, and there are very few people who have experienced that era and lived until Sima Qian was born. .

Moreover, Sima Qian's grandfather, Sima Xi, came from that era.

At the same time, the Sima family has been historians for generations, and they have the habit of recording and preserving historical records. Sima Qian's father, Sima Tan, was Taishi Ling, and Sima Qian was trained according to Taishi Ling's standards since he was a child. All official materials of the Han Dynasty, and most of the documents classified as classified.

It's hard to say what happened before the Han Dynasty, but Sima Qian was able to get the most authentic historical data for everything that started when Liu Bang raised his troops, and there would never be any mistakes or omissions.

So no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the contents of the historical records to be wrong about the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, let alone such a major event as the chasm and peace talks. It was Xiang Yu who proposed the peace first, and at the same time did not agree on the north-south boundary, it was just an armistice agreement.

These are two completely opposite records, and with Liu Xu's study and seriousness in history, he should not make such a fatal mistake.

But in fact, it was precisely because Liu Xu was serious about history that he wrote a historical plot that was diametrically opposed to Tai Shi Gong, because according to the evidence currently available to the historians and some people's common sense at that time, Tai Shi Gong It is actually very unreasonable to write a gap and discuss it publicly.

First of all, the premise of a peace negotiation is that both parties are equal in strength, and no one is sure that they can completely eat the other side, so they will negotiate a peace.At the same time, it is generally the weaker party who initiates the peace.

So what are the strengths of both parties when the peace talks happen?

Regardless of the fact that Xiang Yu kept calling Liu Bang his father during the two-year war, it seemed that Liu Bang himself was extremely weak and lacking in ability.

But in fact, after the start of the Chu-Han hegemony, Liu Bang has been confronting Xiang Yu. It was he who led the army to block Xiang Yu in the Xingyang area, and it took two full years for Xiang Yu to break through the Xingyang defense line, let alone touch Liu Bang. The rear is closed.

If you look at it this way, the two sides should be military forces.But the problem is that Liu Bang is not only him alone, he also has three allies, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbo.

Not to mention Han Xin, Liu Bang's own people, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were tough, Han Xin first took down the entire Wei State area, and then relied on the amazing strategy of fighting to the death to completely swallow the entire Zhao State.

And after Liu Bang sent people to take away all the elites in Han Xin's hands, leaving only a few thousand old, weak, sick and disabled to Han Xin, he actually ate Qi State. Han Xin completed the hegemony of annexing the Three Kingdoms alone, and only It took less than a year.

Even if Qin Shihuang wanted to do this, it took a full 5 years.

Peng Yue has been developing in the hinterland of Chu State, harassing Xiang Yu's logistics in various ways. Xiang Yu transported ten carts of grain and grass, seven carts would be taken away by Peng Yue, or simply burned.

The reason why Xiang Yu was short of food was due to Peng Yue.

In addition, there is a peerless fierce man, Guan Ying.

Guan Ying doesn't have any famous stories in Shiji, so many people don't know about Guan Ying's achievements, but in fact, Guan Ying is a person who almost single-handedly wiped out the entire Xiang Yu Group executives except Xiang Yu. fierce man.

Guan Ying fought under Han Xin's command at the beginning. After Han Xin took over the entire Qi State, Xiang Yu appointed Xiang Tuo as the general, Zhou Lan as the second general, and Long Qi as the second general. He sent troops to rescue Qi, claiming that 20 people went to support As a result, Chu State was almost completely wiped out by Han Xin, and the one who contributed the most was Guan Ying.

During the subsequent pursuit, Guan Ying's cavalry even beheaded Xiang Yu's number one general, Long Qi.

After that, Guan Ying acted alone under the order of Han Xin, fighting in Xiang Yu's rear, attacking cities and conquering land along the way, occupying fifty or sixty cities in one breath, and completely isolating Xiang Yu's Chu Kingdom from his rear, Jiangdong. Lost.

The existence of Guan Ying naturally made Xiang Yu extremely uncomfortable, but he was restrained by Liu Bang and could not act, so he could only send several generals to destroy Guan Ying, but they were all defeated by Guan Ying.

It can be said that apart from Xiang Yu himself, there is no one under Xiang Yu's command who is Guan Ying's opponent.

So when the two sides wanted to negotiate a peace, Xiang Yu's own situation was actually extremely painful. First of all, his food and grass were cut off, and the soldiers were on the verge of starvation.

Secondly, his front, back, left, and right sides have been occupied by the Han army, and Xiang Yu only has a lonely Pengcheng and a small area around it.

Although the Huainan area in the rear is still in Xiang Yu's hands, the traffic between the two places has been cut off, and Xiang Yu cannot get any supplies from the Huainan area.

What's more terrible is that at this time Liu Bang also sent back the former Jiujiang Wang Yingbo. This man gathered thousands of remnants in the Huainan area, and Yingbo was also very fierce. Without Xiang Yu's suppression, no one in Huainan may be able to stop it his.

These situations are also recorded in the inscriptions in the Historical Records. If you are Liu Bang, you have already compressed the other party to the point of almost collapse.Although the opponent is a God of War, but this God of War has not killed you for more than two years, will you still be afraid of this God of War?

Therefore, there is almost no reason for Liu Bang to initiate a peace. With a huge advantage, is he still willing to let the tiger go back to the mountain and share the world with Xiang Yu?

This is the situation, and the specific content of the gap negotiation is even more outrageous. According to Tai Shigong, the two sides simply use the gap as the boundary, and one side belongs to Liu Bang, and the other side belongs to Xiang Yu.

The absurdity of this agreement is that more than half of the land agreed by Xiang Yu was given to him by Liu Bangbai.

As I said before, Xiang Yu has been completely surrounded by Liu Bang's forces at this time. Among the territories planned in the collegiate agreement, more than half of them are under Liu Bang's control at this time, and it is the territory of Yingbo, Peng Yue and others. No matter how benevolent Liu Bang is, , It is impossible to give Xiang Yu his own territory for nothing.

Even if the boundary is really to be demarcated, it is to assign the territory Xiang Yu currently owns to Xiang Yu, so this division of the territory is outrageous.

To put it in a way that is easy for young people to understand, it is as if Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are fighting in Summoner's Canyon. At this time, not only all the territory of the blue side belongs to Liu Bang, but the Highland Tower has also been breached.

The top and bottom lanes of the red side already belong to Liu Bang.

The outer tower and middle tower in the middle road are gone, and only one highland tower is left, but it has already lost blood.

The most outrageous thing is that Xiang Yu's own spring water is gone, and they can't even go back to the spring water to replenish blood. In this case, Liu Bang may withdraw all his troops and regain the entire territory of the red side. Give it back to Xiang Yu?

And in the end, it is the reaction of the covenant and the person after the conclusion of the covenant.

Under normal circumstances, if the two parties have reached a contract and divided the territory, they should send troops to guard each strategic point of their own territory. First, they must defend their own territory, and then seek development.

But Xiang Yu was different. Once the covenant was concluded, he didn't want the land allocated to him at all, but led his troops to retreat all the way, without any consideration of sending troops to garrison strategic points.

In fact, judging from Xiang Yu's marching route, he wanted to retreat all the way to Jiangdong and Huainan, because that was Xiang Yu's real base, where Xiang Yu could rest his army and get a lot of resources, because At this time, Xiang Yu's army really couldn't fight anymore.

But how could Xiang Yu be surrounded in Gaixia in the end, and finally commit suicide on the bank of the Wujiang River, which is only one river away from Jiangdong? He was really blocked by people.

Coupled with the discovery of some other historical materials of the Han Dynasty one after another, the historians have always believed that the records in Shiji here are wrong, but because Shiji’s reputation is too loud, no one dares to come out and criticize the mistakes of Shiji. Only those who study history know it in their hearts.

So here comes the question, why does Tai Shigong do this kind of thing, deliberately write the wrong history, this is not in line with Tai Shigong's personality!

First of all, Tai Shigong's character design is not as tall as everyone imagined, and she doesn't have the idea of ​​recording real history. On the contrary, she completed this book with resentment.

As we all know, Sima Qian was punished by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che because he defended Li Ling.

He wrote very clearly in Bao Ren An's book that the reason why he has survived until now is to complete his own historical records.

Under such a situation full of resentment, he naturally wouldn't have a good impression of the Liu family.

Moreover, both the literary and historical circles have always believed that Shiji is a work full of romanticism. It is far from being as rigorous and meticulous as in later history books, and it is full of many of his personal thoughts and inferences.

For example, there are many quite private conversations in Shiji, conversations that no one but the parties involved can know, and all of them were written by Sima Qian. How much artistic processing do you think there is in it?
In addition, Sima Qian himself is a very clear chef of Xiang Yu. He has praised Xiang Yu in public more than once, so what Tai Shigong wrote is not the historical Xiang Yu, but the perfect Xiang Yu in his heart.

Finally, there is another theory, that is, this historical record was actually revised by some people.

In history, it was not published directly as soon as it was written, but was directly designated as a banned book. After all, there were too many slots in it from the old Liu family. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not allow this book to be published at all. This book has always been banned Sima Qian's son-in-law and his family were deeply hidden until a certain time traveler came to power, and historical records gradually spread among the people.

As for whether the traveler who later captured the world of the Western Han Dynasty would delete, delete or delete from this historical record, blackmailing the old Liu family and at the same time claiming the legitimacy of replacing the Liu family's world, no one knows.
