    Unless Xiang Yu can see the future and see that his future self was driven to the edge of the Wujiang River by Liu Bang and Han Xin and had to kill himself, otherwise, Xiang Yu had no reason to kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen banquet.

    Xiang Yu's most important adviser, Mr. Fan Zeng, repeatedly suggested that Xiang Yu kill Liu Bang, but the reason given was also ridiculous, it was nothing more than that Liu Bang had a royal spirit. Wang Qi, who believes in this thing?

    If there is really the so-called royal spirit on the body, then the princes of Xiang Yu's division have the royal spirit on their bodies, don't they all have the royal spirit on their bodies? Shouldn't Xiang Yu be solved at the Hongmen Banquet? It's a pity that during the Hongmen banquet, only Liu Bang and Yingbu, who was still Xiang Yu's close comrade-in-arms at the time, were there, and the other princes had already run away.

    As for Liu Bang's side, the reason why he went to the Hongmen banquet had already been guessed, and Xiang Yu didn't dare to attack himself, so he went to the banquet calmly.

    The reason why Liu Bang was able to calculate that Xiang Yu did not dare to attack himself was also because what he did in Xianyang was in line with Xiang Yu's interests, as long as Liu Bang willingly gave up his hand to Guanzhong, Xiang Yu would be able to bypass the covenant of King Huai without blood, and would become an ally with Liu Bang again, for Xiang Yu, this is the best solution, Xiang Yu can give Yingbu the king, why can't he become an ally with Liu Bang?

    If we were Xiang Yu, we would have made such a choice at that time, this is the most rational choice.

    We can't stand on the time scale of the future to look back at the history of the Hongmen Banquet, after all, Xiang Yu at that time did not know that he would be driven to the embattled situation by an old man who knew the destiny of heaven in the future, Xiang Yu was still young and vigorous at that time. Just by fighting for age, Liu Bang can't survive Xiang Yu.

    Hongmen Banquet Xiang Yu did not kill Liu Bang because he killed Liu Bang and was not convinced.

    If Xiang Yu really killed Liu Bang, he had just defeated the Qin army at that time, and all the princes obeyed Xiang Yu's dispatch and worshiped Xiang Yu as a general, if he killed Liu Bang at that time, it would make others feel cold and unconvinced.

    At that time, Liu Bang's subordinates will definitely gather all the princes to crusade against Xiang Yu, even if Xiang Yu is invincible in the world, not to mention that it is difficult to defeat the enemy with two fists, the Chu army has just finished the battle with the Qin army, exhausted, although there are 400,000 troops, only 100,000 are their own descendants. If the fight starts, it will inevitably be another catastrophe, and the world will be in chaos, which will violate Xiang Yu's original intention!

    Reason for the banquet Liang Xin:

    The original purpose of Xiang Yu to set up this Hongmen banquet was to take this opportunity to kill Liu Bang in one fell swoop. In the historical record, the reason for Xiang Yu's behavior was still attributed to Cao Wuxian's informant, Cao Wuxian privately told Xiang Yu that Liu Bang planned to claim the throne in Guanzhong, sent Ziying as prime minister, and took all the treasures in Guanzhong for himself.

    As soon as this sentence came out, Xiang Yu was angered, first of all, it was impossible for him to let Liu Bang claim the king before himself, and in addition, he would occupy all the treasures in the city, and this kind of practice of seizing all the fruits of victory would naturally not be easily recognized by Xiang Yu. In fact, there were two armies that eliminated the Qin State, one was the army led by Liu Bang from the west, and the other was the army led by Xiang Yu from the north, and it was actually Xiang Yu's troops who really eliminated the Qin State.

    I don't know if it's an exercise, I personally think that Xiang Yu is not not killing but can't kill, Liu Bang broke through the pass to destroy Qin, and when he negotiated with Xiang Yu, his posture was very low, there was no excuse to kill, Xiang Yu just experienced the Great Deer War, the consumption was too great, although it was 400,000, but there must be a lot of troops of the nobles of the old six countries, at this time Xiang Yu was nominally under the righteous emperor, and the history recorded that the righteous emperor was also uneasy, at this time to kill Liu Bang, people's hearts were unstable, and disasters occurred on the way, and it was easy to leave a truth for others, Some people analyze that the Hongmen banquet is more of Xiang Yu's political blackmail against Liu Bang.
