Great scene! I didnt realize Fan Zeng was quoting something. Glad you showed the source. Most of the episodes really showed the many reasons why he lost the war despite having a vastly superior military force over Liu Bang. Simply put, he was a brute, nothing more, and he was unstoppable under certain conditions. In an “honorable” battle, Xiang Yu always wins. Alas, we cannot dictate what battlefield we will be fighting in..
Yes. it's a great source of wisdom. I am working on an analysis of Xiangyu and why he lost. Xiangyu was reputedly a fearsome warrior. He was also a man of "honour" at times. eg. at the feast of hongmen "鴻門宴" refusing to go along with Fan Zeng's plan of killing Liu Bang - a decision which came back to haunt him. I've come to have respect for this type of character. Ultimately, there is no stable "Han dynasty" and Liu Bang without the brute force of someone like Xiangyu to sweep the table of the Qin dynasty (at the battle of Julu).
I loved Peter Ho as Lü Bu in Three Kingdoms. I don't think I've heard of this series. Will come to it after Chu and Han series that I started but never finished.
Because he was a brilliant man trying to fight a brilliant team
yes. Han xin makes this point in KingsWar. Liu Bang was a master of delegation. At the same time, Xiangyu didn't help himself. 有一范增而不能用
Good video
Thank-you. The series deserves more attention than it gets.

yes. he's great as Xiangyu. A suitable mixture of arrogance and naive child.
