"What Tai Shi Gong wrote will also be fake?" This is the first reaction of many people when they see this sentence, and in their opinion, the historical records written by Sima Qian will never be false.

Even if there is a fake, it is only because the time is too long, and it is difficult to collect all the historical materials, so there are some mistakes, and it is impossible for Taishi Gong to make a fake himself.

And the history of the Chu and Han dynasties for hegemony in this period is impossible to fake, because the Chu and Han dynasties are only more than 90 years away from the era of Taishi Gong, and there are very few people who have experienced that era and have lived until the time when Sima Qian was born.

And Sima Qian's grandfather, Sima Xi, is a person who 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 is Taishi Ling, and Sima Qian was also trained according to the standards of Taishi Ling since he was a child, plus Tai Shi Ling is qualified to have access to all the official materials of the Han Dynasty, as well as most of the documents that are classified as confidential.

It's hard to say what happened before the Han Dynasty, but everything that started from the time of Liu Bang's army, Sima Qian was able to get the most authentic historical information, and there would never be mistakes or omissions.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to make mistakes in the content of the historical records about the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, let alone such a major event as the chasm and the peace discussion, it is impossible to have an error in the record, and it is impossible to appear that Xiang Yu proposed peace first, and at the same time, it was not agreed that the north and south should be the boundary, it was just a truce agreement.

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

But in fact, it is precisely because Liu Xu is more honest about history that he wrote a historical plot that is diametrically opposed to Taishi Gong, because according to the evidence currently available in the historiography and the common feelings of some people at that time, the gap written by Taishi Gong is actually very unreasonable.

First of all, the premise of peace negotiation is generally that the two sides are equal in strength, and neither party is sure that they will be able to completely eat the other side, and then peace negotiations will be carried out. At the same time, those who take the initiative to negotiate peace are generally the weaker side.

So what was the strength of the two sides when the peace talks took place?

Don't look at the war that lasted for two years, Xiang Yu kept calling Liu Bang his father, it seems that Liu Bang himself is extremely weak and lacks ability.

But in fact, after the Chu-Han hegemony began, Liu Bang had been facing Xiang Yu head-on, and it was he who led the army to block Xiang Yu in the Xingyang area, and it took two years for Xiang Yu to be unable to break through the Xingyang defense line, let alone touch Liu Bang's rear Guanzhong.

If you look at it this way, the two sides should be in military power. But the problem is that Liu Bang is not the only one, he also has three allies: Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu.

Han Xin didn't say it, Liu Bang's own people, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were tough and tough, Han Xin first took the entire Wei region, and then relied on the amazing strategy of fighting against the water 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 the Qi State, and Han Xin completed the hegemony of annexing the Three Kingdoms alone, and it only took less than a year.

Even if Qin Shi Huang wanted to do this, it would take him 5 years.

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

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

In addition, there is also the existence of a peerless fierce man, that is, irrigation.

There is no resounding story in the historical records, so many people don't know about the achievements of the baby, but in fact, the baby is a fierce man who almost single-handedly wiped out the entire high-level Xiang Yu Group except for Xiang Yu.

After Han Xin took the entire Qi State, Xiang Yu let Xiang Tuo serve as a general, Zhou Lan as a general, and Long He as a general, sending troops to rescue the Qi State, claiming to be 200,000 people to support the Chu State, but was almost completely wiped out by Han Xin, and the greatest credit was given to the Baby.

In the process of later pursuit, the cavalry under Guan Ying even killed Long Ji, the first general under Xiang Yu.

After that, Guan Ying acted alone under Han Xin's orders, fought in Xiang Yu's rear, conquered cities along the way, occupied fifty or sixty cities in one go, and completely isolated Xiang Yu's Chu State from his rear and Jiangdong.

The existence of the baby naturally made Xiang Yu extremely uncomfortable, but he was restrained by Liu Bang and couldn't act, so he could only send several of his generals to exterminate the baby, but they were all defeated by the baby.

It can be said that except for Xiang Yu himself, there is no one under Xiang Yu's command who is the opponent of the baby.

So when the two sides wanted to negotiate 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, the territory on the left and right of him had been occupied by the Han army, and Xiang Yu was left with only a lonely Pengcheng and a small area around it.

Although the Huainan region in the rear was still in Xiang Yu's hands, the communication between the two places had been cut off, and Xiang Yu could not get any supplies from the Huainan region.

What's even worse is that at this time, Liu Bang also sent back the former King of Jiujiang, Yingbu, who gathered thousands of remnants in the Huainan region, and Yingbu was also very fierce, without Xiang Yu to suppress it, it was estimated that no one in the entire Huainan would be able to stop him.

These situations are also recorded in the inscriptions in the historical records, if you are Liu Bang, you have compressed the other party to the point of almost collapse. Although the other party is a god of war, this god of war hasn't killed you for more than two years, are you still afraid of this god of war?

Therefore, Liu Bang has almost no reason to take the initiative to negotiate peace, when he occupies a huge advantage, is he still willing to let the tiger return to the mountain and share the world with Xiang Yu equally?

This is the situation, and there is the specific content of the chasm negotiation, which is very outrageous, according to Tai Shigong, the two sides are very simple to take the chasm as the boundary, one side belongs to Liu Bang, and the other side belongs to Xiang Yu.

The outrageousness of this agreement is that most of the territory in Xiang Yu's agreement 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, and most of the territory planned in the collegial discussion is under Liu Bang's control at this time, and it is also the territory of Yingbu, Peng Yue and others.

Even if the boundary is really to be demarcated, it is to assign the territory that Xiang Yu now has to Xiang Yu, so this territory division is outrageous.

In a way that is easy for young people to understand, it is as if Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting in the Summoner's Canyon, at this time, not only all the territory of the blue side was Liu Bang's, but also the Highland Tower was also breached.

The upper and lower roads of the red side already belong to Liu Bang.

The outer and middle towers in the middle lane are also gone, and only one highland tower remains, but it is already bloody.

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

And in the end, it is the reaction of the item and myself after the covenant is concluded.

Under normal circumstances, if the two sides reach a contract and divide the territory, then they should send troops to guard the strategic points of their own territory, and first defend their own territory before seeking development.

But Xiang Yu was different, once the covenant was reached, he didn't want the land allocated to him at all, but led his troops and horses to retreat all the way, without considering the issue of sending troops to garrison strategic points.

In fact, according to Xiang Yu's marching route, he wanted to retreat all the way to Jiangdong and Huainan, because that was Xiang Yu's real basic plate, and Xiang Yu could let the army rest and recuperate there, and at the same time get a lot of resources to replenish, because at this time Xiang Yu's army really couldn't fight.

However, how could Xiang Yu finally be surrounded and finally commit suicide on the edge of the Wujiang River, which is only one river away from Jiangdong, he was really blocked by someone to retreat.

In addition, some other historical materials of the Han Dynasty have been discovered one after another, and the historiography has always believed that the record of the historical record here is wrong, but because the reputation of the historical record is too loud, no one dares to really come out to criticize the mistakes of the historical record, only the people who study history know it in their own hearts.

So the question is, why did Tai Shi Gong do this kind of thing, deliberately wrote the recorded history wrongly, this is not in line with Tai Shi Gong's personality!

First of all, Tai Shigong's character design is not as lofty as everyone thinks, and there is no idea that the real history must be recorded, on the contrary, she completed the book with full resentment.

As we all know, Sima Qian was given something by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che for helping Li Ling defend a few words, which was a punishment that completely exceeded the standard of the law, and almost cut off all of Sima Qian's pride as a man.

He wrote very clearly in the book of reporting to Ren'an that the reason why he has survived until now is just to complete his historical records.

In this kind of resentful situation, he naturally would not have any good feelings towards the Liu family.

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

For example, there are many quite private dialogues in the historical records, which are dialogues that no one can know except the parties involved, and they are all written by Sima Qian, how much artistic processing do you think there is in them?

There is also the fact that Sima Qian himself is a very clear Xiang Yu chef, and he has praised Xiang Yu in public more than once, so Taishi Gong is not writing about Xiang Yu in history, but the perfect Xiang Yu in his heart.

Finally, there is another theory, that is, this historical record has actually been modified by some people.

In fact, it was not issued directly as soon as it was written, but it was directly designated as a banned book, after all, there were too many slots in the old Liu family, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not allow this book to come out at all, and this book has been deeply hidden by Sima Qian's son-in-law's family, until a certain traverser came to power, and the historical records gradually spread among the people.

As for this traverser who later seized the world of the Western Han Dynasty, no one knows whether he will delete and delete this historical record, and declare the legitimacy of replacing the Liu family while hacking the old Liu family.
