It was rumored in later generations that the dragon would not die, and the West Chu would not be destroyed. Long and equal to Liu Bang's Han Xin, the two in the battle of Weishui strong man collided, Han Xin slashed Long and with a strange array, directly changed the pattern of the battle between Chu and Han. The defeat of Long Ji broke the myth of Xiang Yu's invincibility, and the balance of victory was already tilted in favor of Liu Bang. Hearing of Long Ji's death, Liu Bang's Han camp was so happy that he was reveling for several days and nights, while Xiang Yu's Chu camp was rainy, Xiang Yu was quite worried, thinking that his end had come. In order to get rid of the haze, Xiang Yu decided to make peace with Liu Bang. Just as a person has been in the highlight moment for a long time, he thinks he can do anything. After suddenly falling from a height, you will not be able to accept the fact that it has happened, and then you will be full of doubts about yourself and a sense of powerlessness. But Liu Bang took this opportunity to lobby the princes of the Five Roads and jointly trapped Xiang Yu under the wall. In the battle of Qixia, Xiang Yu had no power to return to the sky, and finally killed himself in Wujiang. So, how important is the dragon to Xiang Yu? Why did he come to the end of his life as soon as he died, the overlord of Western Chu, who had won a hundred battles? 
Xiang Yu's hair is smallLong And, a native of Long Tho Town, Qu County, Donghai County, Qinzhi, is also called Sima Long And. Long Ji and Xiang Yu grew up together since childhood, and the relationship between the two is very deep, and Xiang Yu also trusts him very much. At the beginning of Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's army, Long Ji was an important general under their uncle and nephew. After Chen Sheng's defeat, the anti-Qin cause was underestimated, and the Qin army attacked everywhere. At that time, the Qin general Zhang Han defeated Wei Qi and Tian Dan under Linji City, and led an army to pursue Tian Dan's cousin Tian Rong. Xiang Liang sent Long He to the rescue camp and defeated the Qin army in Dong'e, and returned victorious, this was Long Ji's first appearance in the late Qin War, and his identity at that time was just a small military Sima. However, 3 years later, Long Ji's name spread to Middle-earth and became the first general under Xiang Yu. The one who was trampled under his feet became a stepping stone, but it was Yingbu, who was known for his "brave battle". In 205 BC, Liu Bang sent his advisers to follow He Ce against Yingbu, and Yingbu immediately rebelled against Xiang Yu and surrendered to Liu Bang. As we all know, Yingbu was as famous as Han Xin and Peng Yue at that time, and Qin Mo was a powerful prince, and he had always been the target of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu trying to win over. Therefore, Xiang Yu, who was furious, sent Long and led 100,000 troops to conquer Yingbu. As a result, Yingbu, who was strong and brave and good at fighting, was beaten by the dragon and lost his armor, and could only run back to Han with Liu Bang's lobbyist, so he picked up a life. Long and also became famous because of this, and after this battle, he was worshiped by Xiang Yu as the Great Sima. It is worth mentioning that in addition to its military ability, loyalty is also an important factor. Liu Bang's strategist Chen Ping pointed out that there were only a few loyal ministers of Xiang Yu when he performed a counter-timer against Xiang Yu. Including Fan Zeng, Zhong Liwu, Long Ji, Zhou Yin and a few others, others can be co-opted and used. Of the four people mentioned by Chen Ping, Zhou Yin later rebelled and surrendered to Liu Bang. And Xiang Yu also had doubts about Fan Zeng and Zhong Liwu. Xiang Yu mistakenly fell into Chen Ping's scheme and snubbed Fan Zeng, which made Fan Zeng very unhappy, and later simply resigned from the office, and Xiang Yu did not keep it. And when Chen Ping used a counter-plot to separate the relationship between Zhong Liwu and Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu doubted Zhong Liwu's loyalty. Therefore, among the four people, only Long Yu was truly trusted by Xiang Yu from beginning to end. And Long Ji is not only superior in force, brave in battle, good at using soldiers, but can be alone, and Xiang Yu has played since he was a child, Xiang Yu's unconditional trust in him is completely in line with his own characteristics of employing people, and he is pro-oriented. 
Defeated and killedIn September 204 BC, Han Xin led an army to attack Tian Guang, the king of Qi, in order to complete a roundabout outflank of the Chu army and at the same time support Liu Bang. Originally, Xiang Yu didn't care about Han Xin's attack, after all, Tian Guang and Xiang Yu had a vendetta, but what he didn't expect was that Han Xin broke through Qidu Linzi only in the next month. After Linzi was breached, Tian Guang fled and asked Xiang Yu for help with a very sincere attitude, hoping that he would send troops. After receiving Tian Guang's request for help, Xiang Yu didn't want to save him at first. But if Han Xin is allowed to destroy Qi, then it will inevitably pose a threat to his Peng Cheng. What's more, Liu Bang at that time contained Xiang Yu in the Guangwu area, and he couldn't move at all. In this case, if Han Xin completely destroyed Qi, then he would be able to copy Xiang Yu's back road. Therefore, after several considerations, Xiang Yu finally decided to shake hands with Tian Guang and promise him to send troops to rescue. It is precisely because of this that it is very important to face Han Shin. Since this battle is important, it is necessary to find someone who can be trusted. Therefore, the dragon was ordered to be in danger. The reason why Xiang Yu handed over such an important task to Long Ji was that he had a fully considered military capability. After all, at that time, Yingbu's reputation was much higher than Han Xin's. 
Although Han Xin is like a split, his reputation has also risen, but compared to Yingbu, Han Xin is weaker in terms of prestige and strength, Yingbu in the early years is brave and good at fighting, and Xiang Yu fought side by side, Xiang Yu defeated the main force of the Qin army, it was relying on Yingbu to take the lead in crossing the Yellow River to defeat the Qin army several times his own, and established a bridgehead for Xiang Yu to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and then Xiang Yu entered a series of battles in Xianyang, Xiang Yu sent Yingbu as a striker. Later, Yingbu was rewarded as the king of Jiujiang for his merits, not only had his own territory, but also had a powerful tribe, when Yingbu became a prince, Han Xin was still looking for jobs everywhere, and even guarded the gate for Xiang Yu for a period of time. Even though Han Xin continued to report successes, because the opponent was too weak, Xiang Yu was not impressed. Despite this, Xiang Yu still didn't dare to be careless. For the sake of safety, he handed over all the 200,000 elites of the 300,000 soldiers and horses under his command to Long Ji. In Xiang Yu's opinion, with the ability to defeat Yingbu and the benefit of the landlord of King Qi, there should be no suspense in defeating Han Xin. Of course, there is another reason why Xiang Yu gave Long He such a large number of troops, that is, to follow Han Xin's example and open up another front. As long as Long Ji defeats Han Xin, he can follow the road of Han Xin's Northern Expedition. Recovering Zhao, Wei, Sanqin and other places. In this way, Xiang Yu and Long He formed a pincer offensive, and Liu Bang would have no way to escape under the attack of the two. However, Xiang Yu still overestimated Long Ji's ability and underestimated Han Xin's true level. In November of that year, Long He rushed to the edge of Weishui with an army of 200,000 troops dispatched by Xiang Yu, and set up a posture to fight Han Xin to the death. 
Before the battle, Long Ji's strategist once made a suggestion: "Han Xin came to live here, because the battle line dragged on too long, he must not bring much food, and he was more anxious for a decisive battle." The Chu army and the king of Qi took advantage of the geographical advantage, and at this time, as long as the walls were clear, they refused to fight. Even if Han Xin, who has no food, is capable, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. In this way, the Chu army was able to not only weaken the spirit of the Han army at a very small cost, but also defeat Han Xin without a fight. However, Long Ji thought that he could completely defeat Han Xin in front of the battle, and only said one sentence to his subordinates' advice: "I know Han Xin as a person, and he is easy to deal with." "Not only that, but Long Ji also thinks that if he dodges and does not attack, and allows the Han army to surrender without a fight, then what credit does he have at all? If he can defeat Han Xin on the battlefield, then he will be rewarded with half of the land of Qi in the future. At that time, Han Xin's biggest worry was that the dragon and 200,000 Chu troops were hugging in the city of Qi to hang up the war-free card. After receiving Long Ji's battle letter, Han Xin was overjoyed. Although the number of people in his hands is not as large as that of Long Ji, and the combat effectiveness of these people is not as good as that of the Chu army, Han Xin has a strange plan, and Long He is arrogant, does nothing, and waits for a decisive battle. Just before the Battle of Weishui, Han Xin ordered his men to pile up pockets full of sand and soil in the upper reaches of Weishui, forming a simple embankment. For Han Xin's approach, Long Ji did not find out, which shows Long Ji's arrogance, and his failure is also self-inflicted. 
In the early morning, after the two sides lined up in Weishui, Han Xin did not defend in the face of Long Ji, but preemptively crossed the river to attack Long Ji, and Long He was overjoyed by Han Xin's rash move. Han Xin, who crossed the river, attacked the Chu army slightly, and let the Han army pretend to be unable to turn around and retreat, Long He originally wanted to attack halfway, but seeing that Han Xin was leaving, he was willing to let go of this golden opportunity and immediately pursued Han Xin with the elite Chu army. At this time, Han Xin saw that the time had come, and immediately ordered the embankment to be broken. Long Ji's army suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound, and soon the turbulent river rushed to the face, directly hitting the Chu army crossing the river. And Han Xin seized this opportunity and returned to the attack with the Han army. Ding Fu, the baby's subordinate, beheaded him under the horse while the dragon had not yet recovered his senses. After Long Ji's death, the Chu army was terrified, and the Chu army, which had lost its main general, was defeated by Han Xin. The Chu army, which had not yet had time to cross the river, saw that Han Xin planned to cross the river to pursue them, so they scattered and fled in a hurry. 
The dragon died, and Xiang Yu diedLong Ji's defeat broke the myth that Xiang Yu won a hundred battles. When he heard the news of Long Ji's death, Xiang Yu's reaction was "great fear", and he immediately sent someone to lobby Han Xin, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. Although this battle was not personally commanded by Xiang Yu, the 200,000 troops that Xiang Yu transferred to Long Ji were Xiang Yu's descendants, and the selection was even more elite among the elite. At that time, Xiang Yu only had 300,000 soldiers in his hands, gave 200,000 to Long He, and only kept 100,000 for himself. However, Long Ji's army of 200,000 was almost completely wiped out in this battle. Xiang Yu only had 100,000 troops left, while Liu Bang and Han Xin had 600,000 troops in their hands. This comparison is too disparity, so in this battle, no matter how it is fought, Xiang Yu's chance of winning is not big. More crucially, Han Xin's capture of Qi directly threatened Xiang Yu's lair and Pengcheng. At this time, Xiang Yu could only bring 100,000 Chu troops back to help, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he left on the front foot, Liu Bang broke Xiang Yu's defenders on the back foot, causing Xiang Yu to run back and forth for his life. And Han Xin and Liu Bang often sent some small groups of soldiers to constantly harass Xiang Yu's grain and grass, which made the grumpy Xiang Yu angry. 
But at this time, Fan Zeng was not there, and there were no more dragons, and there were few generals who could help Xiang Yu share his worries. Originally, Xiang Yu planned to recuperate for a period of time, and then clean up Liu Bang when he was relieved, but Liu Bang did not give Xiang Yu this opportunity, pursued Xiang Yu all the way, and Peng Yue, Han Xin, and Yingbu met under the wall, surrounded Xiang Yu, and put the Chu army in an embattled situation. In a short period of time, Xiang Yu was defeated by the dragon and the army, Zhou Yin's treachery, Liu Bang and Han Xin's joint Yingbu and Peng Yue's encirclement and suppression, etc., and he had lost hope, and finally chose to kill himself in Wujiang.
