Why did Yingbu be crowned king by Xiang Yu and still take refuge in Liu Bang?

There is also a reason why Yingbu will betray Xiang Yu, because Xiang Yu is a good person to kill, Yingbu is not, and in some ways he is not used to Xiang Yu's methods. Another reason is because of Liu Bang's surrender, for Yingbu, Liu Bang is the one who can give him more than Xiang Yu, and Yingbu is so moved by the drive of interests, plus he has no feelings for Xiang Yu, and it doesn't matter if he betrays or not.

History evaluates Yingbu as a two-faced person, such a person is not loyal enough, that is to say, Xiang Yu can give him Liu Bang can also give, and if he gives a little more, he will take refuge in Liu Bang. If one day others give him more benefits, then he will not hesitate to abandon Liu Bang. Although this evaluation is very reliable, Yingbu is not so unbearable, and in the face of Xiang Yu, Yingbu has long been dissatisfied, so he will be easily moved by Liu Bang.

Yingbu was first a member of Wu Rui's rebel army, then he attached himself to Xiang Liang, and later followed Song Yi, who after Song Yi died, he felt that there was no way to go and followed Xiang Yu. From here, it can be seen that his personality is just the same as ordinary people's thoughts, people go to high places. Why bother to give him such a big pot because he betrayed Xiang Yu once?

There are too many people who choose the same as him in troubled times.

After following Xiang Yu, because Xiang Yu wanted to be the king, King Chu Huai at that time was a threat to him, so Xiang Yu sent Yingbu to kill him. Not only that, Xiang Yu is not soft at all about those who stand in his way, except for Liu Bang, or he never takes Liu Bang in his eyes. In the face of Xiang Yu's uncertainties, Yingbu chose to betray after Liu Bang's rebellion, isn't this his means of self-preservation!

Because Yingbu is a person who values interests very much, although Xiang Yu crowned him king, he can't fill the desires in his heart.

To put it bluntly, it is for the sake of interests, and in Yingbu's eyes, only interests are the most important, so even Xiang Yu can't satisfy him.

Yingbu was desperate for power, and even though Xiang Yu made him king, he took refuge in Liu Bang out of consideration for the situation and his own greed and ambition.

Because Yingbu was dissatisfied with the status quo, he was just a king, he wanted a higher status, but Xiang Yu couldn't give it to him, so he betrayed Xiang Yu and took refuge in Liu Bang.

He didn't look down on Xiang Yu at all, most of Xiang Yu's credit was his big, and the fief given to him was so small, and those princes who were watching didn't have any credit, and they were kings like him. Xiang Yu was also angry with him, and he didn't go well, and sent troops to beat him. When he had nothing, Liu Bang gave him 50,000 people, and he ate and lived the same as himself, which was to treat him as a human being.

Because Xiang Yu didn't give enough benefits, in Yingbu's eyes, the interests were still the most important, so he betrayed Xiang Yu and took refuge in Liu Bang.

All of this is driven by interests, and interests are the most important thing in his eyes, so even if Xiang Yu gave him sweetness, he had to defect to Liu Bang.

In those chaotic times, only profit was the most fundamental reason. Because at that time, in Yingbu's view, the benefits and prospects obtained by taking refuge in Liu Bang were far more long-term and lucrative than being crowned king by Xiang Yu.

Because Xiang Yu couldn't satisfy Yingbu's ambitions, Yingbu was crowned king by Xiang Yu and had to take refuge in Liu Bang, and Liu Bang could bring him greater benefits.

Everything was under Liu Bang's design, Liu Bang designed Yingbu to rebel against Chu and surrender to Han, for which his family was killed by Xiang Yu, Yingbu led his troops to besiege Xiang Yu, and after Xiang Yu's death, he took refuge in Liu Bang.

is because he also has a dream in his heart, he always feels that he can become the king of a place, and finally chooses to betray Xiang Yu and join Liu Bang.

The main reason is that Xiang Yu is too stubborn and can't give Yingbu too many benefits, so he wants to betray Xiang Yu and join Liu Bang.

At that time, it was also because of the situation, and he didn't have any choice at all, only in this way could he protect himself and take refuge in Liu Bang.

The reason is that Xiang Yu made a mistake and killed King Chu Huai. King Chu Huai was only a symbolic role for Xiang Yu, and later because he was disobedient, Xiang Yu wanted to kill him. After arriving in Xianyang, let the princes of the world be exclusive to him.

But after all, King Chu Huai is also a celebrity, and he is also such a person in the eyes of everyone in the world, Xiang Yu's behavior was immediately labeled as a brutal crime by others.

Everyone in the world knows that Yingbu killed King Chu Huai, which was all calculated by Xiang Yu, but it made Yingbu completely chilled. So it is natural to defect to Liu Bang. We know that the reason why a general is loyal to his king is that he thinks Xiang Yu is a fair person, and he will even take him seriously, but now because he found out that Xiang Yu just let him take the black pot.

Coupled with some estrangements before Shi Chong, he will definitely defect to Liu Bang. This is also a microcosm of what happened to many generals under Xiang Yu. After all, Xiang Yu is very brutal. The veterans who were loyal to him abandoned him one by one.

The reason why Yingbu betrayed Xiang Yu and surrendered to Liu Bang should be to pursue greater interests, that is, in Yingbu's view, he helped Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu and be able to obtain a larger fief.

This is actually a ploy between them, using the method of pretending to surrender to find out the news of the other party, so that the opponent's army will fall apart and achieve victory on their side.

is because Yingbu feels that Liu Bang is not a county lord worth following, he feels that Liu Bang is more insidious and cunning than Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang is a villain.
