I checked your map.Dai and Yan were not included.In case you haven't realized,the fief of Emperor Wu's grandfather(Emperor Wen) before he became emperor was Dai.Yan was also give as a fief to the eighth son of Liu Bang and after this son was killed by Lu Zhi,it was granted to her great nephew.So your facts are clearly wrong.
Are we looking at the same map? It is clearly included in the Xiongnu territory. I mean not all of it, there were bits of Dai still Chinese and the same for Yan but if my facts are wrong then so are Sima Qian's and then so are yours.
That's only after they started to play the political game after Agincourt with the King of France being persuaded to disinherit his son and make the King of England(his son in law) king instead.It is worthwhile to note that immediately after Agincourt,the English packed their bags and went home instead of conquering any land.It's only after the returned the next year that after some negotiations,they were able to persuade the King of France(who was insane) and the Duke of Burgundy(who was a rival of the crown prince) to make Henry IV the next King of France.
Actually when Henry returned a year later he returned with another military campaign and captured land.
A lot of great generals messes up logistics.See how Napoleon and Charles XII fucked up their invasion of Russia for more information.Destroying your supplies and tell your soldiers to fight to death is a standard practice preached by Chinese military manuals.It's actually one of thirty-six stratagems supposedly written by Zhuge Liang.Even Han Xin himself did something similar when he fought Zhang Han.I also told you,you can't destroy armies several or ten times larger than you own unless either you are a military genius or your enemies' command is hilariously botched.The fact that Xiang Yu was able to repeatedly demolish armies much larger than his shows that he's a military genius.
Twice. He did it twice. That isn't repeatedly. It isn't like Hannibal where he did three times and won a number of smaller battles in the course of a couple of short years. What I am saying is not that great generals dont mess up logistics because it happens sometimes but great generals care about logistics while Xiang Yu ignored it. Napoleon messed up in Russia because he didn't anticipate the Russians not meeting him in battle and that stretched his supply lines further than they could go. Tbh I am actually done arguing this because I dont have the time nor do I actually care enough to keep arguing the same point again and again.
