However, in Yinling County, Jiujiang County, Xiang Yu sadly found that he was lost. Pen, fun, pavilion www.

biquge。

Of course, it's not scary to get lost, it's scary that you don't know how to ask for directions.

But there is another problem: it is not scary to ask directions, but it is scary to ask people who should not be asked.

Unfortunately, the farmer Xiang Yu asked about who was working in the fields was the one sent by the King of Yama to ask for impermanence, "Old man, we are from the Chu country. Now that you're going to the river, which way should I go?"

The farmer calmly raised his hand and pointed to the west, and only said one word, "left"

(It should be noted here: Xiang Yu was fleeing from north to south at that time, and his left should be the east, and the east is the Yangtze River.)

But the left side of the farmer standing in front of Xiang Yu is the west, so the farmer successfully deceived Xiang Yu with words and gestures) Xiang Yu thanked the farmer and went west.

But it didn't take long to find out that I had been fooled.

He and more than 100 horsemen fell into a great landscape.

Xiang Yu reluctantly turned around and returned.

But it ran into the 5,000 cavalry of the infant head-on.

After a burst of killing, Xiang Yu once again broke out of the encirclement and arrived eastward to Dongcheng County, at this time there were only 28 cavalry left by his side.

At this time, Guan Ying led thousands of cavalry and surrounded Xiang Yu again.

Xiang Yu knew that he couldn't run away now.

But he did not despair, and he was still unwilling in his heart.

He wants to show the world that the overlord of Western Chu is invincible.

A strong sense of despair and tragedy and heroic spirit ruthlessly hit Xiang Yu's chest, he came to a small hillside, gathered all 28 horsemen, and said to them, "It has been eight years since I started the army. In the past eight years, I have fought more than 70 battles and never lost. Today, however, they are trapped here. This is by no means a sin that I will not fight. If you don't believe me, I can prove to you: break through the enemy's army, behead the enemy's generals, cut down the enemy's flag, and prove that all this is the result of the destruction of the heavens today."

Xiang Yu divided the 28 people into four teams, each team of 7 people, and asked them to kill down the hill in four directions, and then gather on the east side of the mountain.

These 28 people are all true men who regard death as home, and they are excited by Xiang Yu's pride, and they hug their fists together and say, "We will follow the king to the death and kill the enemy together"

The eyes are torn.

So the 29 rode down the hill.

Facing Xiang Yu at the forefront was Yang Xi, the cavalry general of the Han army.

was shouted by Xiang Yu, and everyone was frightened, and they were easy for a few miles... After that, according to the prior agreement, the 29 horsemen assembled in three places on the east side of the hill.

The baby didn't know which of the three places Xiang Yu was, so the Han army also divided the troops into three places and surrounded Xiang Yu again.

Xiang Yu roared, and Xiang Yu once again entered the Han army.

It was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slashing a lieutenant and dozens of hundreds of people.

Then the three cavalry were brought out of the encirclement again.

Regrouped, Xiang Yu counted the number of people and only lost two horses.

It was worth exchanging two cavalrymen for a general and hundreds of lives of the Han army.

So, Xiang Yu proudly said "how" to the remaining 26 riding tracks

Everyone bowed their heads and praised "The king is really brave and invincible, we are convinced"

But with 27 people facing thousands of Han troops, Dongcheng is destined to be Xiang Yu's burial place!

I completely agree with Mr. Feng Qiyong's detailed research in "Xiang Yu Doesn't Die in Wujiang Examination" that Xiang Yu's suicide should be in Dongcheng instead of Wujiang.

Regarding Xiang Yu Wujiang's self-slaughter, there is no actual record in "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", which was first seen in Jin Renjie's miscellaneous drama "Xiao He Yuexia Chasing Han Xin" in the Yuan Dynasty.

In the "Historical Records", it is written many times that Xiang Yu died in Dongcheng, but there is "Xiang Yu Benji" that "King Xiang wants to cross the Wujiang River eastward." Wujiang Pavilion long boat waiting"

Such a sentence.

But notice the "desire" in this sentence

The word.

In addition, the so-called "Wujiang Pavilion Chief"

In fact, it is likely to be one of those 26 rides.

left such a dialogue: Wujiang Pavilion Chief, "I am the only one who has a boat in this area, please let me cross the Yangtze River." Even if the Han army came, no boat crossed the river. Although Jiangdong is small, there are still thousands of miles and hundreds of thousands of people, and the king can make a comeback."

Xiang Yu smiled, this was a smile of relief, but also a sad smile.

Fortunately, when he was cornered, Jiangdong's father still cared for and forgave him.

The sad thing is that he once swept the world, and now he goes back with such a depressed appearance, how can he see Jiangdong's fathers?

So he said, "The heavens are going to kill me, even if I cross the Yangtze River, what's the use?" Besides, I once crossed the river to the west with 8,000 children from Jiangdong, and now none of them have returned with me, so what face do I have to meet my father and fellow villagers? I appreciate your kindness. I've been riding this black horse for five years, and I can't kill it, so I'll give it to you."

The cavalry of the infant chased again, and Xiang Yu ordered all 26 horsemen to dismount and fight on foot with weapons in hand (so that they would die faster) as warriors, who were no longer willing to continue to escape; And surrender is an unacceptable disgrace.

Therefore, only the last thing left is to die on the battlefield in order to establish their last dignity!

Xiang Yu rushed to kill in the Han army, killing hundreds of people alone, but he only suffered more than ten wounds.

This scene, even if all the top masters in Jin Yong's martial arts novels watch it, it is estimated that they will be embarrassed!

When Xiang Yu was killing fiercely, he suddenly saw an old acquaintance in the Han army who was also among them, and that was riding Sima Lu Ma Tong.

Xiang Yu stopped fighting and asked loudly, "Aren't you my old friend?"

Lu Matong was taken aback, and carefully saw that it was Xiang Yu.

So he pointed to Xiang Yu and said to the cavalry general Wang Peng, "This is King Xiang"

It's an old favor, so why be in a hurry!

Xiang Yu smiled sadly and said to Lu Matong, "I heard that Liu Bang promised the price of a thousand gold and the sealing of ten thousand households, and asked for my head. I'm going to give you this benefit today."

After speaking, the 31-year-old overlord of Western Chu, Xiang Yu, drew his sword and killed himself... Subsequently, Wang Fei became an official and dismounted to take Xiang Yu's head.

Xiang Yu's body was robbed by the Han cavalry, and dozens of people were hacked to death by each other.

In the end, Yang Xi, Lu Matong, Lu Sheng, and Yang Wu each got a piece of Xiang Yu's body.

It's like a state-owned asset that was privately divided by these five people... Subsequently, these five people were all named marquis by Liu Bang: 1,700 households of Wang Peng Du Yan Marquis, 1,900 households of Yang Xi Chiquan Marquis, 1,500 households of Lü Ma Tong Zhongshui Marquis, 1,500 households of Lü Sheng Nieyang Marquis, and 1,700 households of Yang Wu Fanghou (Yang Xi's descendant Yang Chang served as the imperial historian and prime minister during the reign of Emperor Yuanfeng of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

Marrying Sima Qian's daughter as his wife, the description of the battle of Qixia and Xiang Yu's death in the "Historical Records" is estimated to be from the mouth of this in-law) Xiang Yu died, but since the ages, how many people have been crying for Xiang Yu's suicide, and many literati and writers have made various imaginations and assumptions about why Xiang Yu chose to kill himself.

Du Mu, a great writer of the late Tang Dynasty who established a biography for Qin Afang Palace, wrote a poem with infinite sighs: The victory and defeat of the army are unexpected, and the humiliation and humiliation are men.

The children of Jiangdong are talented, and their comeback is unknown.

Du Mu believes that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, as long as Xiang Yu can endure humiliation and burden, then there may not be a day when he can make a comeback.

However, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty made a different voice from Du Mu: the fatigue of a hundred battles is mourning, and it is difficult to return to the Central Plains once defeated.

Although the children of Jiangdong are here now, are they willing to make a comeback with the king?

Wang Anshi believes that it is important to endure humiliation and bear the burden, but Xiang Yu's general trend has gone, and the people's hearts have been lost, even if he tries to make a comeback, no one will respond to the gathering, and in the end he can only fail... Some people also linked Xiang Yu's death to Yu Ji.

In Chinese history, there has never been a shortage of heroes and heroes who want beauties and don't want rivers and mountains, and Xiang Yu is such a sensual man who attaches equal importance to love and righteousness, and it seems that it is reasonable to commit suicide and martyrdom.

I think that Xiang Yu's defeat is more due to his own defeat.

Xiang Yu's biggest enemy is not Liu Bang, nor the princes such as Tian Rong and Chen Yu, but himself!

The weapon that defeated the overlord of Western Chu was violence, and the supreme superstition of violence made him fall into a state of madness.

He thought that violence could sweep away all the black forces and establish a new era.

But since he was killed in Xin'an and set fire to Xianyang, he was wrong!

Little did he know that in this world, violence is a temporary tool, not an absolute all-encompassing survival skill.

He didn't know that there was always one thing in this world that worked better than violence, and that was righteousness!

Violence without the restraint of benevolence and righteousness will be self-destructive violence.

Digging someone's grave is actually the same as digging your own grave.

Everything is fate, and the tomb where Xiang Yu is buried is the city on the border between Qi and Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After Xiang Yu committed suicide, Han Xin led a large army to launch a fierce attack on Zhong Liyi.

Zhong Liyi fled, and the Chu army was defeated.

The Western Chu Kingdom then surrendered, leaving the Lu Kingdom to continue to resist.

Lu is the hometown of the Confucian sage, and the reason why Lu did not descend is because Xiang Yu was once named the Duke of Lu by King Chu Huai.

The people of Ludi gave full play to the Confucian spirit of loyalty and filial piety, swore to die for Xiang Yu to observe the festival, and did not surrender to Liu Bang!

Liu Bang is angry.

This is really a kingdom that is too pedantic to speak, and if they don't teach it a hard lesson, they really don't know how to write dead words!

So Liu Bang prepared to slaughter the city.

But when the soldiers were approaching the city, Liu Bang heard the sound of music and reading from the city.

This scene is so shocking, a country as small as an egg, as long as it is lightly knocked by a stone, it will be shattered immediately.

But they knew that they were going to be crushed, why did the enemy still maintain such a calm and elegant posture at present?

Liu Bang finally understood: this is the legendary loyal monarch, that is, the weapon he will use to rule the world in the future.

An inexplicable feeling surged into Liu Bang's heart, and he immediately dispelled the idea of slaughtering the city, just asked someone to hang Xiang Yu's head high and tell the people in Ludi: Xiang Yu is dead, and the world will change his surname to Liu from now on!

Lu confirmed that Xiang Yu was dead and had to open the city and surrender.

The scene of Lu State, like the last melancholy twilight song in the twilight, slowly brought the curtain down on the history of the Chu and Han rivalries.

In this last scene, Liu Bang sent Xiang Yu to the funeral with the gift of Lu Gong, and personally presided over the ceremony, crying loudly.

At this moment, tears are the best relief.

Seven years!

The world is in chaos, the princes are like knives, the common people are like grass, the princes are like knives cutting grass, from east to west, from north to south, the magnificent rivers and mountains are now only left with this heart-wrenching devastation... Cry, cry, cry, if you don't experience darkness, how can you look forward to the dawn.

After this night, tomorrow will usher in a new dynasty, and her name will be: Han Dynasty!

In addition, Liu Bang's tears are not all crocodile tears.

In Xiang Yu's opinion, Liu Bang felt a kind of loss after the victory and nostalgia for his opponent.

At the same time, there are also political considerations for commemorating Xiang Yu.

Although it does not mean that everyone in the Xiang Yu group can be forgiven, the idea of 'becoming a king and defeating a villain' was denied by this memorial, and the Xiang Yu group gained a certain political status.

Liu Bang sealed four members of the Xiang clan as marquis, and gave the surname Liu.

Xiang Bo was named the Marquis of Sheyang for his meritorious service in saving Liu Bang repeatedly.

However, Liu Bang also kept silent about the marriage he had agreed with Xiang Bo, and Xiang Bo could only withdraw this matter as a bad debt from his heart, and never dared to mention it again.

Xiang It was named the Marquis of Pinggao, Xiang Xiang was named the Marquis of Tao (there is another person who I don't know who) Immediately after, Liu Bang did not stop in Lu for a moment, and quickly returned to the army and rushed to Dingtao County, Dongjun.

It was where Han Shin's 300,000-strong army was stationed.

Today, when Xiang Yu is dead, Liu Bang feels that the biggest danger is this Qi King Han Xin, so he once again played the role of a lonely hero, just like the last time in Xiaoxiuwu, Han Xin has not yet woken up, Liu Bang rushed into Han Xin's military tent with lightning speed, seized Han Xin's general seal, and firmly held the military power of the 300,000 army in his own hands!

In December, the captain of the king of Linjiang refused to surrender to the Han because of the old favor of the king of Xiang.

Liu Bang sent Lu Juan and Liu Jia to lead troops to conscript, capture the common captain, and destroy the Linjiang country.

So far, the 18 princes that Xiang Yu divided that year were only Zang Di, Zhang Er, Yingbu, Wu Rui and Liu Bang.

plus Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Han Wangxin, they are the seven princes with different surnames in the early Han Dynasty...
