"Historical Records" changed the original text:

With a note from Wang Junbi, the food was serenaded, and the Han army and the vassal soldiers were surrounded. That night, when he heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides, Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Has the Han army gained Chu?" He Chu has so many people! "Wang Xiang up at night, drink on the account. If you have a beauty, you will always be lucky; Good horses are famous and often ride. Therefore, Wang Xiang is a sorrowful and generous poet, who wrote a poem for himself, saying, "If you pull up a mountain, you will be angry with the world. If it is unfavorable, you will not die. "What can I do if I don't die?" Songs count, beauty and it. Xiang Wang cried several times, but both sides cried, afraid to look up.

So Xiang Wang got on his horse and fled south overnight with more than 800 strong men. Pingming, the Han army knew about this, so it ordered the cavalry Guan Ying to chase with 5,000 horses. When Xiang Wang crossed the Huai River, there were more than 100 riders. Wang Xiang went to Yin Ling and got lost. He asked Fu Tian, and Fu Tian said, "Left." Left, it's trapped in Ozawa, so Han can catch up with it. Wang Naifu led his troops to the east, but when he reached the east, he had twenty-eight riders. There are thousands of Han riders. King Xiang couldn't escape, so he rode on his horse: "I have been in the army for eight years and fought more than 70 wars. I have been defeated by people who have been attacked. I have never lost, so I ruled the world. " However, today I am trapped here, and my death on this day is not a crime of war. Today, I am determined to die. I am willing to fight for you soon, and I will win three times. I will break the city, cut the generals and cut the flag for you, and let you know that this is not a war crime. "It is divided into four teams, four directions. The Han army has a large number. King Xiang said he rode a horse. "I'll take one for the public." "Ride all over the world and visit three places in Shandong. So Xiang Wang shouted that the Han army was invincible, so he beheaded a Han general. At the right time, Chiquan Hou chased Wang Xiang to ride a general. Wang Xiang was very angry and scolded him. Chi Quanhou was surprised by his troops and made several miles. Not riding, but three places. The Han army didn't know where Wang Xiang was, but surrounded the army in three ways. Wang Naichi beheaded a captain from Korea, killed hundreds of people, reunited his rider, and killed his second rider. It means he rides: "What?" The riders all leaned down and said, "As your Majesty said! "

So Wang Xiang wants to cross the Wujiang River eastward. Director Wujiang Pavilion waited on the boat and said to Wang Xiang, "Although Jiangdong is small, it is far away, with hundreds of thousands of people, which is enough for a king. May the king rush by. Today, I have a boat, and the Han army has arrived, so there is no way to cross it. " King Xiang smiled and said, "What can I do if the sky dies?" ! Besides, 8,000 people crossed the river to the west with Jiangdong's children, and none of them came back today. How can I see them? If you don't say anything, is a person worth it? "It is said that Tingchang said," I know the elders. I rode this horse when I was five years old and I was invincible. I tried to travel thousands of miles a day and couldn't bear to kill it for the public. " So all the riders dismounted and walked to fight the short soldiers. Hundreds of Han troops were killed by Du Ji. Wang Xiang was also hit more than ten times. Gu Han Jian rode Sima Lv Matong and said, "What if it's not my old friend?" Stable boy said to Wang Yi, "This is also a king." Nye said, "I heard that Han bought my head and daughter, and I am a good man." "He committed suicide.

Translation of "Gaixiawai" in Historical Records;

Xiang Wang's army was stationed in Gaixia, with few foot soldiers and no food. Hanwang and the vassal's army were heavily surrounded. At night, Hanwang's army sang Chu songs in all directions. Wang Xiang was very surprised and said, "Has Hanwang occupied all the land of Chu?" Otherwise, how could there be so many people in Chu? So King Xiang got up at night and drank in the tent. He has a beautiful woman named Yu, because his love often follows him; He has a good horse named Ya, and he often rides it. So, Wang Xiang sang a solemn and stirring song passionately and wrote a poem himself. The poem says: "Force can move mountains, and it is unstoppable. Times are good to me, and horses can't run away. "A good horse can't run away, what should I do, concubine concubine? How can I arrange you!" He sang several times in a row, and the beautiful concubine sang along. Xianggong's tears kept flowing downwards, and the attendants on both sides cried. No one has the courage to look up at him.

So Wang Xiang mounted his horse and galloped away. More than 800 men rode Mercedes-Benz. That night, he broke through the encirclement of the Han army and fled south quickly. It was not until dawn that the Han army realized that it quickly sent Guan Ying, the general who commanded the cavalry, to follow with 5,000 cavalry. Xianggong crossed the Huaihe River, and only 100 knights could follow him. Wang Xiang fled to Yanling, got lost and asked a farmer, who lied and said, "Go left." Wang Xiang turned left and unexpectedly fell into a large area of low-lying water, so Hanwang's army caught up with them. So Xiang Wang led the way and ran eastward. When he arrived in Dongcheng, there were only 28 knights left. But there are thousands of cavalry pursued by the Han army. Xiang Wang himself estimated that he could not escape, so he said to his knights, "I have been at war with Qin for eight years now, and I have personally participated in more than 70 battles." I defeated all those who dared to resist me, and all those who were attacked by us did not surrender or lose the battle, so they dominated the world. Today, however, I was finally trapped and died here. It is God's intention to destroy me, not the sin of failure. Today, there is no doubt that I will die, so I am willing to fight for your cancer happily. I must win three times. I will break through the encirclement, kill the enemy generals, cut down the Han flag for you, and let you know that it is an act of god to destroy me, not a crime of defeat. " So he divided the cavalry into four teams, facing in all directions. Hanwang's army surrounded them on all sides, which was heavy. King Xiang said to his cavalry, "I'll bring you a general of the Han army." Immediately ordered the cavalry facing four directions to gallop down and agreed to cross the east side of the mountain and meet in three places. So Wang Xiang roared and ran down, and Hanwang's army dispersed and beheaded a member of Han Jiang. At this time, Hou Yangxi of Chiquan was still a general in charge of cavalry. He chased Wang Xiang, who looked him in the eye and shouted at him. Yang and his horse were so scared that they backed up for several miles. King Xiang and his cavalry really gathered in three places. Hanwang's army didn't know the exact location of Wang Xiang, so it divided the army into three parts and surrounded it again. King Xiang rode his horse and galloped again, cutting down a captain of the Han army, killing 80 or 90 ranks, and then gathering his cavalry, only two knights died. So he said to his cavalry, "What's the matter?" The knights all promised to answer, "Just like what the king said!"

So Wang Xiang wants to cross the Wujiang River eastward. The curator of Wujiang Pavilion gathered the boat to the dock and waited. He said to Wang Xiang, "Although Jiangdong is small, it covers thousands of miles and has a population of hundreds of thousands, which is enough to be king. Please get on the boat and cross the river quickly. Now only the minister has a boat, and the Hanwang army has arrived and can't cross it. " King Xiang smiled and said, "I didn't mean to die. Why should I cross the river? " In addition, 8,000 people from Ji Xiang and Jiangdong crossed the river to the west, and no one can come back today. Even if the elders in Jiangdong pity me and make me king, how can I face them? Even if they don't say it, isn't Ji Xiang ashamed? So he said to the director of the pavilion, "I know that Engong is a generous elder. I have been riding this horse for five years and have never met my opponent. I ran a thousand miles a day and couldn't bear to kill it. Let me give it to you. " So he ordered the cavalry to dismount and walk and fight the enemy with their short weapons. Ji Xiang alone killed hundreds of Han troops. Wang Xiang himself suffered more than a dozen injuries. Looking back, it was Lv Matong, the general of the Chinese army's Sima, and said, Aren't you my old friend? Lv Matong pointed out Xiang Yu to Wang Duo and said, "This is Wang Xiang." . Gu Wang said,' Oh, I heard that Hanwang offered a reward for my head to seal a thousand cities. I'll do you this favor. "Say that finish and die of suicide. ……

The ancients thought:

Taishi Gong said: I heard from Zhou Sheng that Yu Shun seems to have two eyes, and I heard that Xiang Yu also has two eyes. Is Xiang Yu a descendant of Yu Shun? How sudden his rise is! The rule of the Qin Dynasty made a serious mistake, and Chen She attacked first. Heroes from all directions swarmed and competed with each other, and there were countless more. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, didn't have much use, so he took the opportunity to rise up against the people. In three years, he led the princes of the five countries to perish the Qin Dynasty and enfeoffed the world to the princes. This is a decree issued by Xiang Yu, who calls himself the overlord of Chu. Although it can't last long, this is something that has never happened in a long historical period. When Xiang Yu gave up Guanzhong, homesick for the East, abandoned the righteous emperor and became king on his own, he was resentful because of the betrayal of his ministers. It's really hard to succeed. He boasted of his success, tried to learn from the ancients with his cleverness and courage, said that he would build the achievements of the overlord and rule the world by force, and finally failed. He died in Dongcheng five years later, and he still didn't wake up or blame himself. This is all wet. Isn't it ridiculous to think that "killing me is an act of God, not a crime of losing the battle"?

Poems praising Xiang Yu in past dynasties;

Wu Wu Jiang ting

The victory or defeat of a strategist is unexpected,

This is a person worthy of shame and humiliation.

Jiangdong disciples are both talented and beautiful.

The comeback is unknown.

-Du Mu

Wu Wu Jiang ting

People are tired, the strong are weak,

It is difficult to recover from the defeat of the Central Plains.

Although the children in Jiangdong are here today,

Willing to make a comeback for the king.

Living as an outstanding person,

Death is also a ghost.

I still miss Xiang Yu,

Refuse to cross the river east.
