In the long river of Chinese history, the battle between Chu and Han is a stirring epic, and the contest between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, a generation of heroes, has performed a magnificent historical drama. This war not only determined the great cause of China's reunification, but also engraved in the depths of people's hearts that era of surging passion and treachery.
The ending of the battle between Chu and Han: Xiang Yu, a generation of heroes, killed the Wujiang River, and Liu Bang dominated the world" is like a turning point in the giant wheel of history, opening a remarkable prelude. This war is not only a stage for heroes to compete for power, but also a pinnacle battle of wisdom. Xiang Yu's heroic spirit and Liu Bang's wisdom and bravery, the two heroes who don't let their eyebrows go, sway their pride and ambition in this big chess game in troubled times.
When Xiang Yu chose to break the trajectory of his life on the bank of the Wujiang River, Liu Bang embarked on the journey of dominating the world, this ending is like a symphony of history, echoing in sighs and open-mindedness. This scene has become a heroic epic that has been praised through the ages, every detail carries the precipitation of the times, and every character has created a glorious chapter in Chinese history.
Xiang Yu died in Wujiang, is this news true? "After the battle of Qixia, Liu Bang got the bad news that Xiang Yu killed himself. He questioned his envoy in disbelief, and for a moment he lost his mind.
These two good brothers who fought side by side back then continued to fight against each other all their lives, and the victory and defeat were fought to the death. Now that Xiang Yu is dead, Liu Bang is a little at a loss.
He was silent for a long time, then instructed his men to prepare for a decent funeral. In order to commemorate the deceased, he personally treated Xiang Yu's funeral, and the etiquette at the funeral was no less than that of the princes. He even cried bitterly in front of Xiang Yu's grave, tears like rain.
The two men had a brief friendship when they first started fighting together. Later, on the issue of claiming the emperor and the world, they both knew that this war was inevitable. Now that he thinks about it, Liu Bang can't tell whether he is more excited or too difficult.
I was excited that I finally got through this bloody storm and successfully won the victory in this drama-like contest. For example, it is decided that although there are still princes, his empire has begun to take shape. Liu Bang could justifiably establish the Han Dynasty, a great feat that he had dreamed of for many years.
Sadly, however, the deceased is gone, and the devastating toll of the war is still fresh in our minds. How many people died in Huangquan, how many flesh and blood parted from life and death. The pride and ambition of the bloody boy is now gone. Liu Bang regretted Xiang Yu's death, but he was sincere.
He accurately grasped this once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity. While mourning the past, he gained insight into the situation and decisively carried out a series of deployments. In order to prevent the power of the princes from becoming larger, he drastically reduced Han Xin's power and renamed him the king of Chu. Favors were also given to other loyal princes to show the world's submission to the Han dynasty.
Several important princes wrote to Liu Bang, vigorously expounding his exploits and asking him to officially ascend the throne as emperor in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world. After determining a day with pleasant feng shui, Liu Bang conformed to the will of the people and established the country as emperor in Dingtao, officially establishing the capital and imperial power of the Han Dynasty.
Now that the world has been basically unified, Liu Bang can finally rest for a while. He gave the soldiers a chance to return to their hometowns for a little rest, and also gave the people a respite from the war. Soon he also moved the capital to Chang'an, which was convenient for ruling all places, stabilized his foundation, and continued to consolidate his hegemony.
Everything seemed to be on the right track, but at this moment, news came from the island that it turned out that Qi Wang Tian Heng was still there to catch his breath. The existence of this last enemy made it impossible for Liu Bang to sleep peacefully. Finally, in a death match, Tian Heng killed himself, and all his 500 followers committed suicide to show their loyalty, which really cleared the hidden danger.
So Liu Bang took advantage of the situation to annex Qidi and take this rich country in one fell swoop. Since then, the map of the world's forces has been completely redrawn, and Liu's hegemony has been officially completed by one-third. This is a melee within a melee, and stable fundamentals still need to be developed. However, Liu Bang is not anxious, because now he holds the military power and the imperial power, and the country has officially laid a beginning.
The water of the Wujiang River that year was really stained with blood. On Xiang Yu's way to flee eastward, only 26 horsemen followed. Only a small number of the weather-beaten generals are still in the world. But at this moment, the Han cavalry general Wang Peng launched a siege, and Xiang Yu and his team, which was less than 30 people, were surrounded by layers.
At that moment, Xiang Yu recalled the past in a trance, he raised troops in Huiji, and went all the way north to claim the title of king and emperor, full of ambition to establish his own world. However, what the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes was, and in the end, the land of Guanzhong fell into the hands of Liu Bang. His break with Liu Bang also made him lose his best strategist Xiao He. When he wants a peaceful resolution of the conflict, the situation is exacerbated by the betrayal of the British Cloth.
The siege of Pengcheng can be said to be a battle of life and death. Originally, Fan Zeng, the old department, had left him, and his Western Chu army was defeated and retreated in the five-way battle. In the end, Liu Bang's whole army counterattacked, and his army suffered a crushing defeat. By the time he arrived, he had nothing left. Even if he fought hard and wanted to come back to life in Guanzhong, he was still defeated by the Han army.
Now, when he arrived at the edge of the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu actually understood in his heart that he would not be able to win this last fight. But as soon as he remembered the passionate and aspiring to dominate the world, how could he be willing to be captured! He encouraged his subordinates, three in and three out, to fight the Han army. Despite being outnumbered, they still stood out of the encirclement with their superb military skills. This pride and ambition is to die well even if it is death.
After Wang Peng's army was stalemate, Xiang Yu had almost no way to retreat. In the end, he decided to open up a way to live on the banks of the Wujiang River, but later generations said that the road to the Yellow Spring was opened here.
The picture of Xiang Yu killing himself must be very tragic. Thinking of Liu Bang, who revolted together back then, but now he is holding a funeral for himself, Xiang Yu suddenly understood that the reincarnation of history is so absurd and cruel.
At the end of that year, there was a bleak wind in the sky. Liu Bang wept bitterly for the deceased, and this bloodstained history has opened a new chapter. Everyone in the world thinks that the show has just begun.
There is no lack of stubbornness and prejudice in the interpretation of history. Many people firmly believe that the reason why Xiang Yu failed in the end was because he did not choose to cross the river and make a comeback at the critical moment.
The ferry port by the Wujiang River was there, and the ferry boat and the pavilion chief were waiting for him. As long as he seizes this opportunity, he may be able to gain a foothold in Huiji and Jiangdong and confront Liu Bang for a long time.
This "realistic" explanation sounds plausible. But when things come to an end, how can fate follow the "if" assumption so simply? We can't help but ask, what would happen if Xiang Yu really succeeded in crossing the river? Behind him was the fierce pursuit of the Han army, and on all sides were old fierce enemies. Huainan in Yingbu and Dongyue in Bohou are all his confidants. And with his character, he will definitely not be willing to live under others and be a little prince.
Thinking about it this way, it didn't make much sense for him to flee the meeting. It is impossible to reverse the situation, nor can it avoid internal and external troubles. On the contrary, it will only remember the shame of escaping, and it will also be looked down upon by the world.
Maybe on the edge of the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu suddenly woke up. He must make a decent end to his life, which has come to an end. His expectations in Koto were nothing more than wishful thinking. He must take responsibility for his choices and pay for the ridiculous plans of his young man. Even in the face of the overturned country and the loss of his subordinates, he has no regrets.
This is Xiang Yu, a tragic hero with a true temperament. He and his subordinates chose to fight to the death on the banks of the Wujiang River, just to prove that they did not lose on the battlefield, just to witness the injustice and absurdity of history.
We don't know what to say about such a loser. But when Liu Bang cried for Xiang Yu, he may also be sighing for the cruelty of history. The world has been handed over from one hand to another, and all the dazzle and beating no longer exist.
People are superstitious about fate, but ignore history. Too many stories of imperfect lives and regrets are hidden behind this seemingly reasonable historical judgment. When time cools our biases, we may be able to look at this past more rationally.
What is the essence of the Chu-Han controversy, and what is the touching truth? These questions will forever remain in the long river of history. We may never be able to answer and judge with certainty.
