Xiang Yu took the remnants back to the camp under the wall, covered in blood, with a panicked expression and a withered face.

This is the invincible overlord of Western Chu in the past, but like a defeated rooster, he is depressed.

Xiang Yu's beloved concubine Yu Ji had been waiting in the camp for Xiang Yu's triumphant return, this time she did not see Xiang Yu's excitement and pride, but instead panicked and uneasy.

Yu Ji was shocked, and an ominous premonition came to her face. She reassured herself that maybe things wouldn't be so bad.

Xiang Wang, Xiang Wang, how is this battle? Yu Ji asked eagerly.

Xiang Yu looked at his most beloved concubine, his eyes revealed a sense of helplessness, and he slowly replied: Cough! Our army was defeated.

Yu Ji chuckled in his heart, thinking that King Xiang had never been defeated since he started his army, and his heart must be extremely sad at this moment.

In order to dispel the unhappiness of Xiang Yu's defeat, she gently hooked Xiang Yu's neck and said with a forced smile: King Xiang, don't you often say that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers? Don't think too much, it hurts your body!

Xiang Yu didn't answer, just sighed.

Yu Ji could hear it, and this sigh was faintly sad. Seeing that he was depressed, he was even more worried, in order to make him forget the unhappiness on the battlefield, Yu Ji called good wine and food, accompanied him, and constantly comforted him and made him laugh.

In her heart, Xiang Yu is a treasure more valuable than life, she can't see him sullen, whenever he is unhappy, she will be like a knife.

The cloud of defeat always lingered in Xiang Yu's heart, and he drank without saying a word, his face was gloomy, and he sighed while drinking.

Since Xiang Yu started his army, when has he suffered such a defeat?

In fact, occasional failure is not a big deal for soldiers, like Liu Bang is a professional household of defeat, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is the hesitation after failure. The reason why Xiang Yu was unhappy was that he smelled the smell of extinction from it.

After a few glasses of wine, and listening to the Han army scolding the war, Xiang Yu could only suppress his anger and did not dare to act rashly.

At this moment, although there is wine in hand and beautiful women by her side, they still can't sweep away the haze in Xiang Yu's heart.

Xiang Yu drank sullen wine, and fell asleep after drinking.

Yu Ji looked at Xiang Yu with a tired face, her heart ached, she knew her husband's heart very well, he had experienced too few setbacks, and she needed time to accept it slowly.

Everything will be fine. She silently stayed by his side, held his warm and heavy hand, and looked at Xiang Yu who was snoring softly.

Yu Ji thought about her first encounter with him, the days and nights with him, and his thousand favors. Her flower-like face bloomed with a happy smile, she thanked God from the bottom of her heart for giving her such a beautiful marriage, giving her a heroic husband, as a woman, she was very satisfied and satisfied, she got everything a woman could get, and she was really happy in the days with him.

She silently guarded him, gently covered him with a quilt, gently wiped the blood on his body, and gently rubbed the bruised wounds for him.

He slept so soundly, I really hope that he will never have troubles, he will always be happy, as long as he is happy, I will be happy. Yu Ji rubbed Xiang Yu's big hand on her face. She wants to make him feel warm, even in his dreams, to make him feel that she is there for him.

She likes to accompany him quietly like this, she likes to know each other like this, she believes that the current difficulties are only temporary, and she will definitely be able to grow old hand in hand with him and give him many princes and princesses.

If there is an afterlife, she is still willing to follow him, he is her only one.

It was getting dark.

After a day of hard work, the lieutenant soldiers of the Chu camp were already sleepy and tired, and they relied on each other around the bonfire to keep each other warm.

This winter was unusually cold, and it was hard to see a smile on everyone's face.

The bitter cold wind blew through the jumping flames, almost extinguishing the bonfire, and the soldiers gathered around the side ignored the cold, stretched out their somewhat stiff hands to pluck the firewood on the ground.

If it's at home, you can drink a hot ginger soup! A soldier said.

Yes, I thought I could go home and reunite with my loved ones and live a quiet life from now on, but I didn't expect to have to fight and suffer.

It's all that old and immortal Liu Bang! If he doesn't keep his word, he should be cut with a thousand cuts! One of them said indignantly.

Yes, I would love to skin him with my own hands and drink his blood! Another said.

Don't be stupid, I think we are going to be defeated, and the Han army is overwhelming. It's good if we make it back alive!

Big brother, I miss home, I miss my mother!

Soon, soon, when this battle is over, King Xiang will take us home! The old soldier's eyes suddenly filled with sadness.

When it came to home, everyone was silent, and they couldn't count how many days they hadn't been home. The voices and smiles of the relatives appear in their hearts all the time, the swords are ruthless, they have seen too much of the tragic situation of flesh and blood, they have seen countless brothers leaving them, they have no tears, no sorrow, but when they think of home, their eyes are always blurred by tears, and their hearts are always full of sorrow.

Suddenly, there was a sad and mournful singing voice on all sides:

The bright moon is as clear as the sun, how can you not miss your hometown.

We are in armor, and we look at the high hall day and night.

Vast and homeless, long-term view of the wilderness.

The wife misses her husband, why not have fun?

Zhi regrets and resents but does not want to be reckless, and wanders alone every night.

Chu is so splendid, who doesn't think about his hometown.

Parents, wives and children are looking forward to it, but they don't see it.

--The original song is untestable, self-created

Singing like weeping, such as complaining, mourning and moving, the soldiers of the Chu army listened to this sad and familiar hometown melody, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions, homesickness spread rapidly, and many people couldn't help but sob.

Mother, mother, I miss my mother! One of the soldiers cried.

I want to go home.

Let's go, let's go home, let's go home!

Okay, no fighting, no fighting, let's go home! Go home.

The soldiers of the Chu army threw down their weapons one after another and rushed to the outside of the camp, and the generals desperately stopped: Don't run, don't run, this is the trick of the Han army, don't run.

This song of Chu blew the homesickness of the soldiers of the Chu army, and also blew away their feelings of continuing to make contributions to the country.

In an instant, there were only 800 people left who were homeless and loyal to Xiang Yu.

The Chu army camp was in shambles.

Yu Ji listened to this sad song in the handsome tent, she was sad for a while, and she couldn't help but shed tears, she shook Xiang Yu who was still sleeping: Xiang Wang, Xiang Wang.

Yu Ji was anxious and sad, and when she saw the chaos outside the camp, she was even more sad, but when she didn't see Xiang Yu wake up, she cried even more.

After a while, Xiang Yu faintly heard the song of Chu Guo in his sleep, heard the cry of his concubine, opened his sleepy eyes, and sat up with a swish.

He immediately asked in surprise: Has the Han army already occupied all the Chu land, why is there Chu singing everywhere? (Han has already won the land?) How many people are there? ）

At this time, the generals rushed in to report, and the soldiers fled.

Xiang Yu was frightened and hurriedly went out of the tent, only to see thrown weapons everywhere, overturned kettles everywhere, and bonfires with only ashes left everywhere. When the soldiers who had not yet fled saw King Xiang, they bowed down in front of Xiang Yu one after another, crying silently.

Xiang Wang, Xiang Wang... The cries of the crowd revealed endless sadness.

Xiang Yu was sad and angry, cold from head to foot, he turned back to the account, picked up the wine jar, and drank it clean.

Is it really going to be defeated, is it really going to die without a place to be buried, are the soldiers going to leave me? Think about how majestic and proud my Chu Overlord was back then, but now, how did he fall into such a miserable situation, why, why?

He threw the jug to the ground, and the sound of the jug shattering on the ground pierced everyone's hearts like a sharp sword.

Pull out the mountain and cover the world! The times are not good! Ya is not gone, but there is nothing to do! Yu Xi Yu Xi Nao! Xiang Yu sang.

Yu Ji was even more sad when she heard this, and the attendants on the left and right were all sad and weeping.

King Xiang, you have to take care of yourself! Yu Ji sobbed.

Xiang Yu looked sadly at his most beloved concubine, this woman who had brought him countless joys, a burst of love and pity in his heart, at this moment, he was most reluctant to let go of her, he hugged her tightly in his arms, and was unwilling to let go for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but the drums in the army sounded.

Xiang Yu said to Yu Ji with tears: Concubine Ai, it's almost dawn, this time there is more and less luck, and the widow wants to lead people to risk death to break through, but, widow, the most reassuring thing is you!

Yu Ji looked at Xiang Yu's sad eyes, thoughtful in her heart, she said firmly: The concubine is favored by King Xiang, she is a person who is King Xiang in life, and she is a ghost of King Xiang in death, and the concubine swears to follow King Xiang to the death and accompany King Xiang forever!

Xiang Yu hugged Yu Ji tighter, and he said with great pity: There are no eyes on the battlefield, your daughter's house is too dangerous, Concubine Ai should flee with her attendants first.

Yu Ji felt Xiang Yu's body tremble when he spoke, she looked at Xiang Yu's eyes, from his eyes, she couldn't see his previous confidence.

No, I can't be King Xiang's concern, I can't drag him down, I must let him fight a way out without worry! At this moment, Yu Ji secretly made a decision in her heart.

Yu Ji broke free from Xiang Yu's embrace, wiped her tears, and forced a smile and said: Okay, before that, the concubine will perform another song and dance for the king to cheer up the king, I only hope that the king can break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, and the king please take a seat.

Xiang Yu nodded slowly.

Yu Ji touched up her makeup a little and danced in front of Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu looked at Yu Ji's beautiful dancing, but he couldn't feel the joy of the past, and the dance steps revealed a painful desolation.

Yu Ji sang while dancing: The Han soldiers have been slighted, and they are embattled with singing. The king is exhausted, and the concubine is not alive!

Yu Ji danced lightly, always smiling at Xiang Yu, she wanted him to see her most beautiful.

King, farewell, my most beloved person, farewell, the concubine can serve the king in this life, it is the honor of the concubine for a lifetime, the concubine is really happy, very happy. If there is an afterlife, the concubines are still willing to serve the king. The king, the concubine left first, and the concubine will love the king forever and forever. The king, don't think of the concubine, bravely face the failure, revive the hegemony, come to the day, the king should remember the words of the concubine, come to the tomb of the concubine and talk to the concubine, the king knows, the concubine likes flowers the most, when the king comes, bring flowers to the concubine, the concubine will be very happy. Big brother, sister will go first, protect King Xiang and take good care of yourself.

Yu Ji was full of emotions, and finally glanced at Xiang Yu, who was drinking stuffy wine, with reluctance in her eyes, she approached the scabbard hanging on the wall, quickly pulled out the sword, and gently wiped it on her jade neck, and suddenly, blood fell like scattered cherry blossoms.

Xiang Yu was shocked and was about to save her, but he was still a step too slow, Xiang Yu hugged her and cried: Aifei, Aifei, why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid?

Yu Ji used her last strength to touch Xiang Yu's heroic face, reluctant to give up, she smiled and said: Love.. Love... Lang, come... Bear... Bear... Reunion!

With that, his arm drooped.

Xiang Yu hugged Yu Ji's body tightly and cried loudly, the sadness of his voice made those who heard it sad and those who saw it wept.

The soldiers outside the camp listened to King Xiang's cry, and knelt down in front of the camp tent one after another, weeping in pain.

I don't know how long I cried, and the drums sounded, Xiang Yu was tired of crying, he picked up Yu Ji, slowly walked out of the tent, and buried Yu Ji on the spot.

A generation of beauties died in this way, and later generations took the poppy as the name of the word brand to commemorate her loyalty.

Xiang Yu stood in front of Yu Ji's tomb for a long time, and at this time, his heart had already gone with Yu Ji.

The cold wind blew his heart, and even more so the hearts of the soldiers of the Chu army.

Xiang Yu looked at the unkempt soldiers, and sighed in his heart, he knew that he couldn't die yet, he had to take these loyal soldiers out of the encirclement, otherwise, he couldn't forgive himself.

So, taking advantage of the light of the rising sun, Xiang Yu put away his tears, raised his sword and shouted: Soldiers, although we are defeated, we will definitely break out of the encirclement, return to Pengcheng, and revive the prestige of our great Chuhe.

Fight your way out of the encirclement and regain your might! Fight your way out of the encirclement and regain your might! The cries of the 800 Chu army soldiers shook the sky.

So Xiang Yu led everyone to the south to escape from the encirclement, crossed the Huai River, arrived at Yinling, saw that there were two roads on the left and right, and dismounted to ask the farmer who was working in the field.

The farmer recognized him as the brutal Chu Overlord, resented in his heart, and deliberately pointed him the wrong way, Xiang Yu galloped away, and was soon blocked by Hu Ze.

Xiang Yu shouted that he was fooled, he could only return the same way, and just happened to meet the five thousand pursuers led by Guan Ying, and after a firefight, Xiang Yu killed a bloody road, threw off the pursuers, and arrived in Dongcheng, looking back, there were only twenty-eight horsemen left.

At this time, only listening to the sound of war drums, the Han army poured over from all directions, Xiang Yu stood on the top of the mountain, and said with emotion: Since the widow raised the army, it has been eight years, more than 70 battles, and he has never been defeated and dominated the world. And now trapped here, this day will kill me, not a crime of war. The widow is determined to die by himself, and he is willing to fight with you again, and he will win three battles and three victories, opening the way for you to live. Kill the general and capture the flag, let you know that the widow is good at fighting, and today is the day to kill me, not the crime of war! Don't blame the widow in the future!

Xiang Yu divided the twenty-eight cavalry into four teams and waited for the Han army to come.

Xiang Yu saw a Han general leading his troops up the mountain, and he said to the rest of the people: Kill this general first.

Xiang Yu ordered his subordinates to gallop from all sides to Dongshan and camp in three places, waiting for the rendezvous. Xiang Yu shouted and rushed into the Han army that surrounded him, and went straight to the Han general, and the Han general was accidentally stabbed by Xiang Yu and died.

Xiang Yu killed for a while, and the Han soldiers turned on their backs, and no one could stop them.

But at this time, the Han army was besieging more and more, and Xiang Yu killed nine times back and forth on the mountain, killing those Han soldiers and ghosts crying wolves.

This mountain was later called Jiutou Mountain, also known as Siqi Mountain.

Xiang Yu met with the soldiers at the foot of the East Mountain and said: How? The generals bowed and said: As the king said!

Xiang Yu broke away and arrived at the Wujiang River, just as the Wujiang Pavilion Chief was mooring the boat by the river.

Seeing that it was King Xiang, the chief of Wujiang Pavilion said: Although Jiangdong is small, the place is thousands of miles, enough to be called the king, there are only ministers' ships here, and I hope that the king will cross in a hurry.

Xiang Yu smiled lightly: The sky is going to kill me, why bother to cross the river! Besides, at the beginning, the widow and the children of Jiangdong crossed the river to the west, and today there is no life, even if the Jiangdong fathers and elders pity me and are willing to serve me as the king, what face will the widow have to meet them?

Yu Ji left, his heart was already dead, and he only continued to fight because he was afraid of the lives of those 800 soldiers.

He is a hero of his true colors, he is full of pride, heroic and invincible, loves nurses, he is defeated, he feels that he is really sorry for the soldiers of the Chu army.

At this time, there was a commotion in the back, and the Han army swarmed in. The chief of the Wujiang Pavilion urged again and again, and Xiang Yu sighed with emotion: You are a loyal elder, and your kindness is unrequited, so this black horse will be given to you, and you can take it across the river!

The chief of the Wujiang Pavilion knew that it was useless to say more, so he led the horse to the boat, and the black horse looked at Xiang Yu and neighed. Xiang Yu ordered the soldiers to dismount and engage the Han army in short combat.

The Han army surrounded him, Xiang Yu shouted violently, rushed up, and slashed, killing hundreds of Han soldiers, but after all, they were outnumbered and suffered more than ten wounds on their bodies.

Suddenly, Xiang Yu saw a familiar face, and Xiang Yu asked: Are you my old friend?

Han Sima Lu Tong saw Xiang Yu and said to the Zhonglang rider Wang Fei on the side: He is King Xiang.

Xiang Yu looked up to the sky and roared, and said with a smile: I heard that the Han used a thousand gold, and ten thousand households exchanged for my head, so I will fulfill you today.

After that, he raised his sword to kill himself, and the moment he fell, he seemed to see his uncle, his father, Long Ji, Yu Ji, and thousands of soldiers who died in battle smiling at him and waving to him.

Yu Ji, the widow is here, we can be together again! Xiang Yu's body fell heavily, and the black horse in the river suddenly let out a long roar and jumped into the lake. In the cold and turbulent water of the Wujiang River, only a sigh was left from the chief of the Wujiang Pavilion.

Back then, I was as proud as grass, and the spring breeze was good every day. Pull out the mountain and ignore the sad song, drink Yuxi, and from then on, you can't help it.

The world does not know sincerity and suffering, and is greedy for Qingqing dance. Suddenly, but it was slim, I am afraid that there is still Chu singing in the song.

--Xin Qiji, "Poppy Beauty"

It's over, it's really over, it's all over.

Xiang Yu's heroism and Yu Ji's gentleness and steadfastness will be missed from generation to generation, and they will always live in people's hearts.

With the fall of Xiang Yu, it announced the end of an era.

The old era is over, and the new era is coming.
