At the banquet, fan Zeng suggested that Xiang Yu had been the best way to directly do Liu Bang at the banquet than to send soldiers to kill Liu Bang. However, Xiangyu always had no idea. He was not supposed to. Finally, Liu Bang took the chance to escape.
Why does Xiangyu not listen to fan Zeng and do not do Liu Bang at Hongmen banquet? Is it because his brain circuit is too strange? Or, as fan Zeng concluded, "upright son is not enough to do with it"?

In fact, the reason why Xiangyu didn't listen to fan Zeng was that Xiang Yu had strong distrust on fan Zeng.
Why do I say that? Then I will start with the relationship between Fanzeng and Xiangyu.
What is the relationship between Fanzeng and Xiangyu?
Fanzeng is called "Yafu" by Xiangyu or by the general of the whole family of Xiang and even the state of Chu. However, it is only for respect, but the relationship between Fanzeng and Xiangyu is actually the relationship between Counselors and monarchs.
As a counselor, fan Zeng really let Xiangyu, who was the monarch, disappointed.
Why is Xiangyu disappointed with fan Zeng? Let's see how other advisers satisfy the monarch.

What did Zhang Liang, the most famous counselor in the battle between Chu and Han, do when he first met Liu Bang?
It is to explain the Taigong military law to Liu Bang.
"Taigong military method" is a secret that Zhang Liang has studied for more than ten years. When he sees Liu Bang, he offers some chapters and discusses with Liu Bang. This is not only an investigation of Liu Bang's learning ability, but also a gift that has won Liu Bang's good feelings.
As a counselor, you don't satisfy the monarch when you first take the hand. How can you convince the monarch?
After Zhang Liang said Chen Ping, Chen Ping was Liu Bang's second adviser, whose level of strategy was no less than Zhang Liang. What did he do when he first met Liu Bang?
It is to donate money to Pengcheng.
So Liu Bang gathered half a million troops and killed Pengcheng in a great way. After entering Pengcheng, Liu took over his concubine and treasure. He was lying in Xiangyu's palace day by day and enjoyed the people.
If it was not for Liu Bang to be a minor enemy, the battle between Chu and Han might have ended directly after Chen Ping gave his plan.
As a counselor, Chen Ping offered such a gift to Liu Bang for the first time. How does Liu Bang not pay attention to Chen Ping?

Finish Chenping, and then Han Xin.
Although Hanxin was regarded as general general by Liu Bangbai, Hanxin had a side of conspiracy in addition to his general status.
What did Hanxin do when he first met Liu Bang?
Liu Bang pointed out the direction of defeating Xiangyu, namely, "to let the world be brave, to make officials by the cities of the world, to return to the East with righteous soldiers", to reuse talents, to reward the active and pay attention to the emotional attribution of soldiers and soldiers.
Then, Hanxin pointed out that the first step to defeat Xiangyu was to still determine the Guanzhong. Although there were three Qinwang in Guanzhong, the three Qinwang was not popular. As long as the strength of Liu Bang was not bad, it would be possible to make the Guanzhong to be called on.
Hanxin, who has the side of his own Minister, has made Liu Bang feel the best when he first met Liu Bang. How can he not let Liu Bang have a feeling of meeting and hate later?

What about Li Shiqi, a counselor of Liubang No.4?
Li food, when he first met Liu Bang, pointed out the problems and the urgency of his task at that time, and then offered a plan to let Liu Bang take the old man lightly.
What about Zhang Er and Chen Yu who was a counselor of Chen Sheng?
Before Chen Sheng won the king, they pointed out that, before Chen Sheng was king, they pointed out that it was not time to be king, and that they should slow down to the king, and then set up the six kingdoms as the target, and then lead the fire of Qin into the six countries, and then take the Guanzhong directly while Qin was not ready to take advantage of the situation, so as to make the imperial career according to Guanzhong.
And Zhang Er and Chen Yu, who are the counsellors of the military officials?
The two clearly pointed out that Chen Sheng was not granted the Wu Chen as king of Zhao because of his sincerity, but was forced by the situation. He should help him fight Qin with Wu Chen Sheng. Once the state of Qin was defeated, Chen shengteng would clean up his military officials. In order to avoid being cleared up, Wu Chen should expand the territory. Once the territory is expanded, whether Qin or not, Wu Chen will have enough strength, so Han Guang is sent to attack Yandi.

Kuai Tong, a counselor of Hanxin?
When Kuai Tong saw Hanxin, he suggested that Hanxin should attack Qi state while Li Shiqi and King Guangda of Qi were allied in Han Dynasty. In this way, Hanxin took Qi Di lightly and was named king of Qi by Liu Bang.
What about Li Zuo, a counselor of Hanxin?
Li zuozhou was asked by Hanxin, so he suggested that Hanxin should not attack Yan directly, but scare Yan state. In this way, with only one letter, Hanxin forced zangdala, the king of Yan, to call Liu Bang his official, and gently loose the next great contribution.
See? All the counselors first gave their plans, which were good for the monarch. So what is the first plan for fan Zeng to Xiangliang?
Fan Zeng made Xiang Liang stand up to bear heart as king.
What is the final result? Xiangliang did not expand the territory because he held the bear heart as king, but died in Dingtao.

It can be said that the first plan of fan Zengcheng has no substantive benefits to Xiangliang. All of this, Xiangyu is in his eyes and recorded in his heart. Therefore, Xiangyu's plan for fan Zeng has always been questionable.
Specifically, fan Zeng advocated killing Liu Bang. If judging from the result of the battle between Chu and Han Dynasties, this strategy is very forward-looking, but it is useless to stand at the time of Hongmen banquet. Liu Bang has come to show his surrender. Xiangyu had to fight to get something. Now he can get it without a soldier. Why kill Liu Bang? This is a strategy that can be obtained without a soldier Isn't it a branch of the world?
Therefore, in the different strategies offered by Xiang Bo and fan Zeng, Xiangyu naturally tends to "not fight but bend the soldiers". Fan Zeng may cause unimaginable consequences and trouble plans. Xiangyu can only respond with "silence and should not". Otherwise, what do you call Xiangyu say, Xiangyu said, Yafu, your strategy is not good at all! In this way, it is not too much Don't respect an old man in his seventies?
