In the last episode, it was said that King Xiang wanted to drag the father of King Han into the oil pot, but was persuaded by Uncle Xiang. King Xiang's original intention was just to blackmail the King of Han, and he also knew that he would not be able to deal with Liu Bang if he killed Taigong, so he took Taigong back and put him under house arrest.
King Xiang sent an envoy to the King of Han and said: "The world is unstable because you and I can't hold each other. Do you want us to compare martial arts to determine the world?King Han refused with a smile: "I am willing to fight wit, not strength." ”
The envoy of Chu reported back to King Xiang, and when King Xiang heard this, he was impatient, suddenly jumped on horseback, ran out of the camp gate, selected dozens of strong men to open the way in front, and led the army to gallop to the side of the stream to challenge.
When the king of Han saw that there were Chu soldiers galloping, he ordered the building to be good at shooting, and released arrows across the stream. only listened to a few flutters, and shot down several strong men of the Chu army at once. King Xiang roared, rushed to the stream desperately, and shouted for King Han to answer.
Lou Fu suddenly saw a king in armor and holding a ge, riding on a black horse, his eyes were like copper bells, and his beard was like an iron broom, and he was extremely fierce, and he couldn't help but be shocked. I heard a bang again, like a thunderbolt, so frightened that Lou Fu's hands trembled, he took a few steps back, and hurriedly retreated to the base to report to the king of Han.
When the King of Han heard that he was asked to answer, he felt that he could take advantage of this to expose King Xiang's guilt in public, so he ordered the whole team to go out of the camp to talk to King Xiang across the stream, and King Xiang shouted to King Han: "Liu Bang, do you dare to fight with me for three rounds in person?"”
King Han said: "Xiang Yuxiu wants to succeed, do you still have the face to speak when you are guilty of the ten major crimes?"After the king of Han said Xiang Yu's ten major crimes, he pointed at King Xiang and reprimanded him loudly: "I will go to righteousness for the world, unite the princes, and punish you, a traitor without a way!"”
Xiang Yu was so angry that he couldn't speak, and with a wave of his halberd, countless crossbowmen rushed out of the Chu array, and they all fired arrows at the Han camp. The arrows leap over the broken stream, and they can't be prevented. The guards of the King of Han hurriedly rushed to the side of the King of Han, covering the left and right.
King Han also quickly returned to the horse, out of danger, who knew that before he turned around, an arrow hit the right chest, the pain was great, almost fell off the horse, fortunately the left and right guards rushed forward to rescue the horse, the horse was turned, and then rushed back to the camp gate.
The generals stepped forward to ask about the injury of the king of Han, and the king of Han was afraid of shaking the heart of the army, so he endured the pain and concealed the pain and said, "The thief .........."The thief's arrow hit me in the toe. The guards on the left and right hurriedly helped the king of Han to lie down in front of the bed, and the medical officer was sent to take out the arrow and apply the sore medicine, but fortunately the arrow wound was still shallow and did not cause death.
Zhang Liang visited the king of Han and persuaded the king of Han to support his injured body and march around the army to calm the army. King Han struggled out of bed, wrapped his chest, and rode around the camps. When the soldiers of the whole army saw that the king of Han was safe, they all made up their minds and stuck to the camp as usual.
After the king of Han reluctantly inspected it, he felt that the pain was unbearable, so he simply ordered the guards on the left and right, quietly left the camp, and returned to Chenggao to recuperate.
After King Xiang returned to the camp, he hoped that as soon as the king of Han died, the army's heart would float, and he could take the opportunity to attack. He also sent people from time to time to inquire about the news, hoping that the battle situation in the north would be favorable to Chu.
In addition, on the battlefield in the north, after Long Ji and Zhou Lan led 200,000 Chu troops into Qi, they sent Pegasus to inform the King of Qi to come to join the army. When Tian Guang heard that the Chu army was coming, he rejoiced in his heart, and hurriedly gathered stragglers and went out of Gaomi City to meet him. The two armies set up camp together on the east bank of Weishui.
Han Xin was also leading the Han army to advance to Gaomi City, and when he heard that the Long and soldiers had arrived along the way, he knew that he had encountered a strong enemy, so he asked the King of Han to mobilize the two armies of Guan Ying and Cao Shen to jointly deal with the Chu army. After the three generals gathered, they set up camp on the west bank of Weishui and discussed day and night the plan to break the enemy.
Han Xin was in front of the camp ** The movement of the Chu army on the other side of the river was quiet, and he saw the military camps on the other side from a distance, and the momentum was very strong. He said to Guan and Cao Erjun: "Long is a famous general, he can only outwit, not be invincible, let me use a trick to capture him!."The second general Cao and Guan nodded and said good, and Han Xin ordered the army to retreat for three miles, choose the danger and set up the village, and do not move.
Long He mistakenly thought that Han Xin was afraid of the might of the Chu army, so he ordered to cross the water and attack. The left and right strategists admonished: "Han Xin has come from afar, and his sharp spirit is flourishing, so it is best for our army to temporarily hold on to itself and avoid sharp energy." ”
When Long He heard this, he shook his head and said, "Han Xin, what kind of ability do you have, it's just a poor boy who has been humiliated!."If I don't go to war. Later, he ran out of food and begged, and he couldn't show my military exploits and majesty!”
Adjutant General Zhou Lan also did not advocate going to war, and admonished: "The general should not despise Han Xin. Han Xinding Sanqin, destroying Wei and Zhao, and now sweeping the Qi army, can be called wise and brave, and the general will think twice. ”
Long Ji sneered nonchalantly and said, "The generals Han Xin encountered were all mediocre talents, so he succeeded by luck." When he ran into me today, he couldn't save his head!Then he sent a leader to cross the Weishui and deliver the war letter. Han Xin was secretly happy, and immediately approved the words "decisive battle in Japan" at the back of the original book.
After the Chu envoy left, Han Xin ordered Fu Kuan to complete more than 100 cloth bags, and gave him a secret plan: "After dusk, store the cloth bags with sediment and block the flow of Weishui. When the Chu army crosses the river tomorrow, I will send out the trumpet cannon and erect the red flag, and you will quickly scoop up the sandbags and let the river rush down. ”
Han Xin also ordered the generals to say: "After the battle tomorrow, you must see the red flag as the number, and when the red flag is erected, you will go all out to annihilate the enemy, capture Long Ji and Zhou Lan, and you will do it!"He ambushed the main force of the Han army on both sides of Weishui, and when the time came, he attacked together.
In the early morning of the next day, Han Xin personally led several generals to the edge of Weishui. Weishui was originally quite deep and wide, and it could not be waded in vain, because Fu Kuan held the water flow upstream, and the water potential decreased sharply, and Han Xin was able to lead the army to wade to the east bank and form a formation. At this time, Long Ji also led the Chu army to arrive, and the two armies fought in array.
Long He raised his sword and slashed at Han Xin nonchalantly, but Han Xin did not face the battle, but retreated into the formation flag, and killed several Han generals from the formation to defeat Long Ji. Killed.
In one or twenty rounds, there was no winner or loser, Zhou Lan also came to participate in the battle, and the Han generals and others gradually retreated.
Han Xin led the army to Weishui and still rushed back, and Long He laughed and said, "I said that Han Xin is vulnerable!."After speaking, Pegasus pursued Han Xin, and Zhou Lan and the others followed from behind. When they came to Weishui, the Han army waded to the west of the river.
The dragon chased after the rise, and also followed the Han army to leap to the west. Zhou Lan saw that Weishui suddenly became shallow, and couldn't help but be suspicious, and hurriedly moved forward to dissuade him, but the dragon had reached the west bank in a blink of an eye, Zhou Lan had to cross to the west of the river, followed by only thousands of cavalry.
At this time, a cannon on the west bank was suddenly heard, and the water in the upper reaches roared like a beast, and the Weishui braked a few feet higher, and the Chu soldiers in the water were all washed down and drowned, and the Chu army on the east bank was so frightened that they opened their mouths, looking at the Chu generals who were cut off by the river on the west bank, and could not reinforce.
Dragon's. As soon as the two or three thousand cavalry landed on the shore, they were cut off by the raging current. At this time, tens of thousands of Han troops who were ambushed on the west bank were divided into three routes, and under the leadership of Cao Shen, Guan Ying, and Han Xin, they swooped towards the Chu army.
The panicked Chu army had no intention of fighting, fleeing for their lives, and surrendering to surrender. Long Ji and Zhou Lan rushed left and right, killing all over the body, and gradually exhausted. However, the Han army, under the command of the Red Banner of the Chinese Army, became more and more courageous the more they fought.
When the battle was not long, Zhou Lan was captured by the Han generals. Long He became more and more flustered, was injured in many places, and was beheaded by the Han army.
The Chu army on the east bank saw that the commander was dead, and everyone was like a fly without a head, and 200,000 horses fled under the pursuit of the Han army. Qi Wangguang was already a frightened bird, and at this time, he only cared about running for his life. He fled to the vicinity of Chengyang and was caught by the Han army, and was beheaded by Han Xin's order.
Soon, Guan Ying and Cao Shen leveled Boyang, Jiaodong and other places respectively, completely eliminating the remnants of the Qi army. Han Xin reported the good news of Pingqi to the King of Han, and the King of Han was overjoyed, and sent Zhang Liang to Qi to seal Han Xin as the King of Qi, and at the same time ordered Han Xin to quickly return to the division to attack King Xiang.
Han Xinzhi slashed the dragon and calmed the ground, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked Xiang ** in Xingyang City. Later, he sent his advisor Wu Shi to Qi to persuade Han Xin to betray Han and help Chu, in an attempt to drive a wedge between the Han kings and ministers, but he was also refused.
At this point, the Chu army has the king of Han in front of it, and Han Xin and Peng Yue in the back, and the food will also run out, and the situation is very serious.
At this time, the king of Han, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's advisers were also anxiously looking forward to Han Xin and Peng Yue's reinforcements to attack Xiang Yu, and at the same time they also stepped up their military deployments, he crowned Mobu as the king of Huainan, and ordered Mobu to attack Jiujiang and cut off the retreat of the Chu army.
The king of Han ordered Peng Yue to invade Liangdi again, cut off the grain route of the Chu army, and strategically encircled the Chu army on the flanks and rear.
The king of Han also listened to the strategy of his adviser Chen Ping and sent the prince of Hou to Chuying to negotiate peace. He took advantage of Xiang Yu's dilemma and forced Xiang Yu to agree to the words and conditions of sending back Taigong and Empress Lu.
In September of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Chu and Han agreed on a peace treaty. King Xiang returned the prince and Empress Lu as promised. Chu and Han took the chasm twenty miles southeast of Xingyang as the national boundary, the east of the ditch belonged to Chu, and the west of the ditch belonged to Han. The day after the fulfillment of the covenant, King Xiang returned from camp.
According to the strategy of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, the king of Han sent Taigong and Empress Lü back to the rear of Guanzhong, then tore up the peace treaty and sent troops to the east. He once again sent urgent envoys to order Han Xin and Peng Yue to flank the Chu army.
The king of Han personally led the Han army to pursue the Chu army and caught up with the Chu soldiers near Guling. The king of Han chose the danger to set up camp, planning to wait for Han Xin and Peng Yue to meet before launching an offensive against the Chu army.
King Xiang found out that the king of Han had reneged on the eastward expedition, gritted his teeth with hatred, and decided to take advantage of the Han army's unstable foothold and suddenly return to the army to attack. On the night when the Han army arrived in Guling, King Xiang took the lead and drove the Chu army to rush towards the Han camp.
The king of Han hurriedly led his army to fight. King Xiang slapped the black horse, took the lead with a halberd, and went straight to the direction of the Han army's marshal banner to seek and kill the Han king. The Han general hurriedly stepped forward to intercept, King Xiang flew with a halberd, unstoppable, and the generals who besieged King Xiang either died under the halberd or were seriously injured.
The Han generals retreated one after another, and the Chu army took advantage of the situation to cover up. The king of Han was frightened and fled back to the barracks. Seeing that the commander had fled, the Han army also fled to the camp. The Chu army took advantage of the situation and slashed and killed for a while, and the Han army lost thousands of men and horses.
The king of Han was defeated and sat in a big tent at a loss. Zhang Liangjin said: "Although our army is defeated, it is not worth worrying, but the future of Han Xin and Peng Yue's two military horses is worth paying attention to." The two of them have made great contributions, and they should be rewarded and sealed again, and the rewards and punishments are clear, so that the hearts of the people can be united, and the great cause of destroying Chu is just around the corner.
According to the permission, the king of Han sent envoys to seal the northern border of Suiyang to Gucheng and Peng Yue, and the east of Chen to the East China Sea and to Han Xin. The two deeply felt that the Han King was tolerant and generous, and as expected, they immediately raised troops to flank King Xiang, and quickly joined up with the Mo Bu army attacking Jiujiang to pursue and kill the Chu army.
Since King Xiang won the battle of Guling, he continued to lead the army to retreat eastward, and in order to prevent the attack of the Han army, he slowly retreated step by step. It was easy to get to the wall, and the camp was undecided, and I could hear the shouting and killing sound behind meKing Xiang climbed high and looked west, only to see that the dust raised by the Han army covered half of the sky.
King Xiang looked up to the sky and sighed: "I regret that I shouldn't have let Liu Bang go at the Hongmen banquet, causing today's danger!."He was determined to rely on his own courage and 100,000 Chu soldiers to fight Liu Bang to the death.
The king of Han has gathered more than 300,000 soldiers and horses on the three roads, and was led by Han Xin. Han Xin knew that King Xiang was extremely brave, and no one in the Han camp could match him, and only by using his wits could he trap King Xiang. Han Xin carefully inspected the terrain in the area below, and after careful consideration, decided on a plan to ambush on all sides.
Han Xin divided the army into ten teams from the new, and the generals of each faction led them, ambushed them separately, and responded in a roundabout way, and then invited the king of Han to sit in the camp of the Chinese army, and then personally led 30,000 troops and horses to the Chu camp to challenge.
When he heard that Han Xin personally led the army to challenge, he couldn't wait to pierce Han Xin's heart with a halberd, so he immediately rushed out across the horse and went straight to Han Xin. The 100,000 elites of the Chu soldiers also came out of the camp together, followed closely by King Xiang, and moved forward bravely.
The two armies met each other, and after a scuffle, Han Xin gradually retreated. King Xiang waved his halberd, and the Chu army shouted in unison and chased after him. Han Xin led the Han army, fought and left, luring King Xiang into the ambush circle.
King Xiang recklessly chased for several miles, and then completely entered the ambush circle of the Han army. As soon as Han Xin saw Xiang Wang's plan, he immediately fired a cannon. In order to kill the first ambush in the sound of artillery.
Xiang Wangquan was not afraid, and the Chu army was not to be outdone, and the first ambush and the Chu army fought fiercely for a long time before they were gradually defeated and retreated. Seeing that Han Xin was still directing the Han army to retreat not far away, King Xiang hurriedly led the army to rush towards Han Xin.
Han Xin quickly retreated, and when King Xiang didn't chase for a long time, another horn sounded, and another ambush rushed out. The Han army let Han Xin intercept King Xiang, and the two armies fought for a long time, each with its own **. King Xiang was able to kill, rose up with might, slashed left and right, and the soldiers of the Chu army also moved forward desperately.
The second ambush could not resist the enemy, and was defeated and retreated. King Xiang pointed to Han Xin's handsome banner and shouted "chase", and then galloped away, and the Chu army also shouted: "Don't let Han Xin escape!.""The sound of killing shook the sky, and the valley resounded.
King Xiang was chasing in front, the cannon was raised again, and the third ambush soldiers shouted to outflank and kill the Chu army. The Chu army fought hard, and the third ambush of the Han army fought with the Chu army for more than an hour, and then gradually retreated.
The 100,000 elites of the Chu army, since the time of the Chen, chased and killed Han Xin, broke through the interception of the triple ambush soldiers, fought bloodily for several hours, and felt tired and tired, but Han Xin was always hidden in front of him, Xiang Yu was bent on chasing and killing Han Xin, leading the Chu army step by step into the deep mountains and jungles.
The Chu army repelled one ambush after another, and when it killed the eighth ambush, it had thirty or forty thousand horses, and nearly half of the generals, even King Xiang himself was so sleepy that he was out of breath and did not plan to pursue the Han army anymore.
Xiang Wang just wanted to retreat, but he saw Han Xin waving the red flag, and the trumpet cannon in the mountains and forests rang out, shattering the sky, and ten ambushes were killed together, all of which surrounded Xiang Wang's horse. The exhausted 50,000 or 60,000 Chu troops had to struggle to parry the Han army.
King Xiang regretted it, so he had to make Zhong Li, Ji Bu and other generals broke off, he shook his spirits, tightened the reins of the horse, opened the road first, led the Chu army, and forcibly broke through.
King Xiang's bravery has always been intimidating to the Han army, so even if the army is defeated and surrounded today, the place pointed by the halberd still makes the Han army afraid and dare not fight for a long time. I saw King Xiang riding a black horse and leading the Chu army to rush back towards the way they came.
The Han army had to avoid King Xiang's halberd and dodge a way. King Xiang stepped on the bloody road and was defeated and returned to the camp.
Since King Xiang raised his army, Xiang has never encountered such a vicious battle and suffered such a setback. This time, he fell into Han Xin's ten-sided ambush plan, and the Chu army lost more than half of its 100,000 elites. Facing 20,000 or 30,000 remnants, King Xiang was filled with grief and hatred, and his heart ached.
King Xiang's favorite concubine Yu Ji is a talented and beautiful woman, and King Xiang is inseparable from the southern and northern wars. Today, she welcomed King Xiang into the account, and when she saw that King Xiang was in a panic and described as atrophied, she was very surprised in her heart, and asked about the state of the war euphemistically.
King Xiang said sullenly: "Defeated, defeated, since I sent out the army, I have never encountered such a vicious battle, and I have never been defeated by this!."Yu Ji comforted King Xiang and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and I hope that the king does not have to worry too much." She ordered the preparation of wine and food, and persuaded Xiang Wang Zhenjun to fight again and seek victory in defeat.
Just after drinking three or five glasses of wine, Tanma entered the account in a panic and reported: "Han Xin has dispatched troops and sent generals, and the camp has been surrounded by water. King Xiang, who was drunk, waved his hand in annoyance and said, "You go and order the soldiers, be careful and hold on, and wait for me to fight again tomorrow." ”
After the horse left, King Xiang simply drank heartily, borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, did not feel drunk, his eyes were hazy, and he fell asleep. Yu Ji asked King Xiang to be helped into the sleeping tent, and she sat on the side of King Xiang's bed, and her heart was also sad.
For a while, she seemed to hear the bleak wind in her ears, and she felt that it was a car galloping and a ghost crying. All kinds of sounds are urging people to break their hearts. It was already the second watch, Yu Ji walked out of the tent, wanting to take a walk to calm her mind, and also check the movements in the camp by the way, so as to share King Xiang's sorrows.
Outside the tent, the autumn wind gusted and the cold hit people. With the autumn wind, there was a faint song of Chu Song, like crying and complaining, sad and desolate: "The lonely goose flies in late September and autumn, who is it for... The old mother leans on the door and looks at it all day long, and the food is exhausted and there is no return...
Listening to Chu Ge, the soldiers of the Chu camp couldn't help but feel sad and sad, tears were shining, and Yu Ji couldn't help crying. She was listening intently, when suddenly a few groomers knocked on the gong and walked slowly, and one said, "Listen: Why did the song of our hometown come from the Han camp?""Who knew that this was Zhang Liang's plan to shake the Chu army.
The gentlemen discussed as they walked: "Presumably, the Han army has captured Chu and recruited soldiers from our hometown." "Now that I'm trapped, I still hope to save the soldiers, so isn't it completely desperate?"Let's see what else our king has in mind?"Hey!It seems that the eldest prince has no choice but to borrow wine to drown his sorrows. ”.
They walked a few more steps, and suddenly an older man said: "The king's loyalty is contrary to his ears, so he has caused today's danger, if it goes on like this, we will be trapped to death even if we don't ***, so it's better to run for our lives as soon as possible!."All the people said yes in unison, and quietly fled into the darkness, and disappeared into the darkness.
Yu Ji saw that the army's heart was disheartened, and she was terrified. She panted and rushed to King Xiang's couch to report the changes that had just happened. King Xiang was stunned, could it be that the military situation had deteriorated so quickly?He hurriedly got up and came to the tent with Yu Ji.
King Xiang listened carefully, and sure enough, he sent a burst of Chu songs from the Han camp, so he said to Yu Ji in surprise: "Could it be that the King of Han really has all the Chu land, why are there many Chu people in the Han camp?"At this moment, the soldiers hurriedly came to tell King Xiang: "It is rumored in the army that the King of Han has won all the land, and most of the soldiers have fled!."”
King Xiang was so frightened that he turned around and walked into the barracks, intending to summon the generals to discuss the decision, but suddenly another pro-soldier entered the account and said urgently: "The soldiers are embattled and say that if they follow the king, they have no hope of returning to their hometowns, except for the 800 pro-soldiers, all of them fled, and the generals such as Zhong Liwu, Ji Bu, and Xiang Bo also abandoned the camp and fled. ”
After hearing this, King Xiang was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, and then sighed suddenly: "The general trend is gone!."Yu Ji was already full of sorrow beside her, and tears were raining down. King Xiang also understood that the farewell was in front of him, and he ordered his soldiers to set up wine with a sad expression.
Between drinking, Yu Ji forced a smile to cheer for King Xiang's sword dance. The dim light was blown by the autumn wind that drilled into the military tent, and after dancing for a while, Yu Ji couldn't dance anymore, so she put away her sword and came to King Xiang's table.
King Xiang held Yu Ji's hand and sang sadly: "Pull out the mountain and cover the world!."The times are not good!What can be boasted of if it does not pass away!Yu Xi Yu Xi Nao Ruo!Yu Ji burst into tears, and King Xiang, who had never shed tears, also burst into tears. Weeping left and right, unable to look up.
There were five drums in the camp, and King Xiang took Yu Ji's hand and said: "The sky will be bright, I should risk death to break through, what can I do?"Yu Ji gasped and said: "I will live and die with the king, and I would rather die than be humiliated by the Han army, and I wish the king will take care of his future." After speaking, taking advantage of King Xiang's unpreparedness, he pulled out King Xiang's sword and killed himself.
King Xiang didn't have time to save him, so he touched Yu Ji's body and cried bitterly. Then, he ordered his attendants to dig a pit and bury Yu Ji. The story of Yu Ji's self-murder has been spread to this day, and some people have composed lyrics and songs, and the title of the song is "Yu Beauty".
King Xiang put away his tears and got on his horse, took advantage of the darkness, took eight hundred cavalry soldiers, and rushed south. When Han Bing learned about it, he hurriedly went to report Han Xin.
Han Xin urgently ordered Guan Ying to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to chase King Xiang, and then ordered Fan Hao to wave the red flag above the high post, mobilize people from all walks of life, and surround the Chu army.
Xiang Yu broke through the encirclement of Guan Ying and other Han troops and continued to gallop in the southeast direction. After this bloody battle, the Chu army lost again.
Six or seven hundred. King Xiang led more than 100 Chu horsemen to the Huaishui River, found a few small boats on the shore, and hurriedly crossed the water to the east.
After disembarking, more than 100 flying horses continued to gallop south. When he came to the boundary of Yinling, there was a fork in the road ahead, and King Xiang saw an old farmer in the field, and immediately stepped forward to ask. The old peasant recognized King Xiang, hated King Xiang for being unreasonable, and deliberately pointed to the west. King Xiang believed it and galloped away.
They ran for several miles against the bitter cold wind, and all they could hear was the roar of the water, and a large lake appeared in front of them, blocking the way. Only then did King Xiang realize that he had been deceived, so he hurriedly turned back to his original place and traveled east again.
After this round trip twists and turns, it took a lot of time, and was chased by Han generals such as Guan Ying, and after a fight, the Chu army lost more than 100 horses. King Xiang was the enemy of the generals, and he was not afraid, but he knew that the Han army from all walks of life was surrounded more and more, and King Xiang did not dare to fight, so he hurriedly fled to the south. The pro-soldiers followed one after another, but there were very few.
When he arrived in Dongcheng, King Xiang looked back and saw that only twenty-eight horsemen were left behind, while the sound of golden drums and shouts on all sides was getting closer and closer. King Xiang knew that it would be difficult to escape, so he took the team to a small hill and formed a garden formation, ready to fight to the death. King Xiang said with emotion: "Heaven's will will kill me!."I'm going to fight to the death!You will be made to break through. ”
At this time, the Han army gathered like hemp and surrounded the small hill. King Xiang put the twenty-eight horsemen into a garden shape, killed down the mountain, after a fierce battle, the Han army was killed more than 200 people, but the Chu army only two people died.
King Xiang fought through the siege and galloped to Wujiang. Just as the chief of the Wujiang Pavilion moored the boat to the shore, he advised King Xiang to cross the river quickly. King Xiang was very sad, and said with a miserable smile: "I have gone west with the eight thousand sons of Jiangdong, and all of them have been lost so far, and I am the only one who remains, even if the Jiangdong fathers and elders pity me, what face do I have to see them?"
The dust flew up behind, and King Xiang knew that the pursuers had arrived, so he said to the pavilion chief: "I know that you are a kind person, and I can't repay you, this black horse has been fighting with me for many years, traveling thousands of miles a day, and is invincible, I can't bear to let him die with me, so I'll give it to you!."The pavilion chief thanked each other and led the horse across the river.
King Xiang immediately ordered twenty-six knights to dismount and walk, each holding a short sword, and turned to meet the Han soldiers. Han soldiers flocked in;King Xiang fought again. They defeated more than 100 Han soldiers in a row, and Xiang Yu was also wounded in more than 10 places. At this time, several Han generals galloped over, and King Xiang recognized one of them as Lu Matong.
King Xiang said: "I heard that the King of Han has given a reward, who can get my head, give a thousand gold, and seal ten thousand households." Today, I'm going to give you this favor. ”
After King Xiang finished speaking, he drew his sword and killed himself, and he was Chinese New Year's Eve one year old. Later generations have commented on the failure of King Xiang: "If you don't cultivate benevolence and talk about the army, how can you fight for the way of heaven, you can't return to your hometown on the other side, and you will lose the name of the mountain for ten years." "After the death of King Xiang, the Han army quickly captured the land of Chu.
The five-year-long Chu-Han War ended, and Liu Bang, who attached great importance to the people's will, won the final victory. In 206 BC, Liu Bang ascended the throne as emperor and established the powerful Western Han Dynasty.
