Chapter 219: Martyrdom (7)
Weng Lianlu said "In this world, the person who can kill the old man has not yet been born"; can't help but make Liu Min think about it.
Liu Min pondered: Weng Lian Luqi is an arrogant and arrogant guy, and the arrogant person has already dug his own grave; I'm afraid I don't understand what is going on until I die.
Xiang Yu, who claims to be the overlord of Western Chu, is an arrogant and self-righteous person; The final ending is to kill Wujiang by himself.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Chu and Han fought, how powerful Xiang Yu was; But his ending was quite bad, Liu Min summarized the 3 sins and 4 major reasons for Xiang Yu's failure.
After the chaos in the world at the end of the Qin Dynasty, nine out of ten literati died, believing that Xiang Yu would be the lord of the world after Qin Shi Huang.
However, the last laugh was Liu Bang, who was not favored by others, Liu Bang was a scoundrel when he was young; didn't give money for a long time, but in the end he became the ancestor of Han Gaozu; This shocked all the three sects and nine streams.
Liu Min analyzed Xiang Yu's character and believed that his demise was inevitable; Because his genius decided that he could only set up a cloud that big.
Xiang Yu's first sin was bullying and treachery. When King Chu Huai sent troops to fight against Qin, he agreed with the soldiers of the whole army: "The one who enters the pass first is the king." King Chu Huai was the leader who was expected to return at that time. However, after Xiang Yu was full-fledged, he tore up the agreed treaty and drove Liu Bang, who had entered Guanzhong first, to Hanzhong; Played a stinky move.
Xiang Yu's second sin was to kill the prince of Qin, kill the Qin army's soldiers, and burn Xianyang to form a blood feud with the Qin people.
Xiang Yu's third sin was to divide Guanzhong into three and hand it over to the generals Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Fei to govern the king, but he established the capital in Pengcheng (Xuzhou); How can such a bird's ambition be the lord of the world?
One of the reasons for Xiang Yu's defeat was that he regarded himself as high and dispersed his forces. Xiang Yu's soldiers are said to have 400,000, but the soldiers who really belong to him only account for less than one-fifth. Under such circumstances, the ability to control the army cannot be completely controlled by oneself, and it is undoubtedly a self-entrapment-like threat to a general and a leader.
The second reason for Xiang Yu's failure is Wufu's move. Xiang Yu is a person who practices martial arts, and can only do martial arts, and other aspects of art are in a weak position; It is impossible to understand the will of the people by force, and the most important thing in winning the world is to win the hearts and minds of the people. Xiang Yu frantically slaughtered innocents in a single pass, where can he get the hearts of the people?
The third reason for Xiang Yu's failure is that the people's hearts are lost. After Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, under the advice of Xiao He, he treated the people of Guanzhong well and protected the prince of Qin who had surrendered; Strive to protect the ancient city of Xianyang and Afang Palace. Xiang Yu did the opposite, completely overturning the oral contract between Liu Bang and the people of Sanqin, killing children and infants, killing the people, burning Xianyang, and even the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was almost burned; How can such a butcher be loved and promoted by the people?
The fourth reason for Xiang Yu's failure was that he did not listen to advice. Han Sheng admonished Xiang Yu and said: "Guanzhong blocks mountains and rivers, the land of four stops, the land is fertile, and it can be overpowered." Xiang Yu saw that the Qin palace room was burned and broken, and his mind returned to the east, saying: "Wealth and nobility do not return to their hometown, such as embroidering clothes at night, who knows!" Han Sheng retreated and said: "People say that Chu people are monkeys and crown their ears, sure enough!" Xiang Yu heard it and cooked Han Sheng.
Xiang Yu not only killed Qin II when he slaughtered Xianyang City, but also did a lot of bad things that lost his conscience; made the people very disappointed in him, for Han Sheng, who came to admonish; After saying a few words of irony, Xiang Yu actually cooked someone's house; Who would want to do with such a leader?
Xiang Yu finally dug his grave - Xiang Wang's troops were stationed under the wall, and the soldiers were short and the food was exhausted, and the Han army and the princes' armies surrounded him. Late at night, Xiang Yu heard the Han army singing the song of Chu on all sides, Xiang Yu was greatly surprised, and said, "Could it be that the Han army has conquered all the Chu people?" Why are there so many Chu people over there! ”
So King Xiang got up in the night and drank in the tent. has a beautiful name, and has always been favored to follow King Xiang; There are famous horses, and Xiang Yu has been riding. At this time, Xiang Yu couldn't help but sing a sad song with emotion, and sang a poem by himself: "Strength can pull out the mountain, heroism is unparalleled in the world, and horses no longer run when luck is bad!" What can I do if the horse doesn't run, Yu Ji, Yu Ji, how will I arrange you properly?
King Xiang sang a few times, and the beauty Yu Ji should sing with him. King Xiang's tears flowed down one after another, and the attendants on the left and right also wept, and no one could bear to raise their heads to look at him.
In this case, Xiang Yu rode his horse alone, and more than 800 strong men under his command followed behind on horseback, breaking through the siege that night and rushing out to the south.
It was just after dawn that the Han army realized; Ordered the cavalry general to lead 5,000 cavalry to pursue.
King Xiang crossed the Huai River, and there were only more than 100 people left who could keep up with his subordinates.
When King Xiang arrived at the Yin Tomb, he got lost and went to ask a farmer, who lied to him and said, "Go to the left." ”
King Xiang led his people to the left and fell into the swamp. Therefore, the Han soldiers caught up with them.
King Xiang then ran east with his cavalry and reached Dongcheng, where only twenty-eight men remained. The Han cavalry pursued several thousand people.
King Xiang himself estimated that he could not escape, and said to his cavalry: "It has been eight years since I led my troops to revolt, and I have personally fought more than 70 battles, and the enemies who resisted me have all been defeated, and all the enemies I attacked have surrendered and never been defeated, so I can dominate and possess the world." But now that I am trapped here, it is the fault of Heaven to destroy me, and it is not the fault of the war. Today I will definitely die, I am willing to give you a painful battle, I will definitely defeat it three times, break through the encirclement for you, kill the Han generals, cut down the military flag, and let you know that it is indeed the heavens who want to destroy me, and it is not the fault of the war. ”
So the cavalry was divided into four teams, facing in four directions. The Han army surrounded them several layers. King Xiang said to the cavalry: "I'll take down a Han general for you!" He ordered the Knights of All Sides to gallop down on horseback, and agreed to rush to the east side of the mountain, where they would assemble in three places. So King Xiang shouted and rushed down, and the Han army was routed like grass and trees falling in the wind, and King Xiang killed one of the Han generals.
At this time, Yang Xi, Marquis of Chiquan, was a cavalry general of the Han army, chasing King Xiang behind, King Xiang stared at him with wide eyes, and Marquis Chiquan was even frightened with men and horses, and retreated for several miles. King Xiang and his cavalry met in three places. The Han army did not know the whereabouts of King Xiang, so they divided the troops into three routes and surrounded them again.
King Xiang drove his horse and rushed forward, beheaded another captain of the Han army, killed one hundred and eighty people, gathered the cavalry, and lost only two people. King Xiang asked the cavalry, "How is it?" The horsemen all respectfully said, "Just as the king said." ”
At this time, King Xiang wanted to cross the Wujiang River to the east. The chief of the Wujiang Pavilion was waiting there with a boat docking, and said to King Xiang: "Although Jiangdong is small, the land is 1,000 miles longitudinal and horizontal, and the people are hundreds of thousands, which is enough for you to be king." I hope that the king will cross the river soon. Now I am the only one who has a boat here, and the Han army has arrived, and there is no way to cross it. ”
King Xiang smiled and said, "Heaven wants to destroy me, what am I going to do across the Wujiang River!" Besides, I and 8,000 of Jiangdong's children crossed the Jiangxi expedition, and now none of them have returned, even if Jiangdong's father and brothers love me and let me be king, what face do I have to meet them? Even if they don't say anything, don't I feel guilty in my heart? ”
Then he said to the pavilion chief: "I know that you are a loyal elder, I have ridden this horse for five years, invincible, once traveled thousands of miles in a day, I can't bear to kill it, give it to you." ”
The cavalry was ordered to dismount and engage the pursuers on foot, armed with short weapons. With Xiang Yu alone, he killed hundreds of Han soldiers. Xiang Yu himself was injured in more than a dozen places. King Xiang turned around and saw the Han army riding Sima Lu Ma Tong, and said, "Aren't you my old friend?" Ma Tong only made a face to face with King Xiang at this time, so he pointed Xiang Yu to Wang Fei: "This is King Xiang." So King Xiang said: "I heard that the king of Han used a reward of thousands of gold and fiefdom to solicit my head, and I will give you a personal favor!" With that, he killed himself.
Wang Peng took the head of King Xiang, and the other cavalry trampled on each other to grab King Xiang's body, and dozens of people were killed because of the fight. In the end, Langzhong cavalry general Yang Xi, riding Sima Lu Ma Tong, Langzhong Lu Sheng, Yang Wu each fought for a body.
Xiang Yu's death was quite tragic, which is the plot described in Sima Qian's "Historical Records"; But Liu Min thinks he is a coward, why didn't he go back to Jiangdong to regain his strength? If you fall off the chain when you are frustrated, what kind of hero can you call it?
Weng Lianlu has Xiang Yu's arrogance and arrogance, but does he have Xiang Yu's bravery...... Liu Min pondered, so he wanted to use a surprise attack to take the life of the dog thief.
Liu Min made a look of recognition and said in a harmonious manner: "Since the big boss wants to take a bath with the little woman in the Mandarin Duck Spring, let's loosen the tie!" This girl is bound to this thing, and her hands and feet have long been numb! ”
When Weng Lian Luqi saw Liu Min mention his eagle claw silk, she couldn't help laughing, walked over and took the rope that resembled a mechanism in her hand and said, "It seems that Miss Minzi is a connoisseur of goods, and this eagle claw silk is a treasure that is unparalleled in the world; Whoever is trapped by the eagle's claw will be trapped inside! ”
Weng Lian Luqi said, shaking the rope in his hand three times; The eagle claw was released from Liu Min's body.
Liu Min removed the eagle claw, and suddenly felt relaxed; Fortunately, the Shadow Sword was still in her left hand, and the sharp titanium scalpel was in the palm of her right hand.
At that time, in Biandangou, Hongyun coldly threw out a plum blossom flying needle and pierced Weng Lian's left eye; The angry Weng Lian Gulu stepped forward to kill Hongyun with a Turkic scimitar in her hand, but was resisted by Liu Min with her Chengying Sword.
Liu Min's Chengying Sword resisted Weng Lian's Turkic twin knives, and Weng Lian Luqi threw out her eagle claws to trap her.
Liu Min was clasped by Weng Lianlu with an eagle claw when he held the knife in both hands, and now it is loosened and still maintains its original shape.
After the forgetful Weng Lianluqi relieved Liu Min's eagle claws, Yima Xin Ape came forward to touch her face; Liu Min suddenly broke out and slashed a guy in the right eye with the titanium scalpel in his right hand.
This is really careless! Weng Lian Luqi thought that Liu Min was obedient and wanted to come up and make a fuss and then go to the Mandarin Duck Bath in the Clotting Spring, but he paid a heavy price......
