Xiang Yu's army camped in Gaixia, and Serenade had little food. Liu Bang's Han army and the armies of Han Xin and Peng Yue were surrounded by layers.
In the evening, Xiang Yu heard that Chu songs were being sung around the Han army, and he was shocked and said, "Did the Han army occupy Chu?" Otherwise, how could there be so many Chu people in the Han army? "
Xiang Yu got up overnight and went to Zhongjunzhang to drink. Looking back on the past, there was a beautiful concubine who was loved and often accompanied, and a BMW who often rode on her lap. Now ... so Xiang Yu lamented generously and wrote a poem himself:?
Strength can pull out the mountain, heroism is above life, and the weather is unfavorable. What should I do, concubine? What should I do with you? ?
Yu Ji sang with him over and over again.
Xiang Yu shed several lines of tears and the guards around him also cried. No one can look up at Xiang Yu. ?
So Xiang Yu got on the horse, followed by more than 800 strong men, and broke through and fled from the south that night.
At dawn, the Han army realized it and ordered the cavalry general Guan Ying to lead five thousand cavalry to pursue Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu crossed the Huaihe River, only 100 people could keep up with Xiang Yu's cavalry.
Xiang Yu got lost when he went to Yinling and asked a farmer for directions. The old farmer lied to him and said, "Turn left." ?
Xiang Yu left and fell into a low-lying land, so he was caught up by the Han army again. Xiang Yu led the troops to the east again. In Dongcheng, there were only 28 cavalry left, and thousands of Han cavalry were chasing him.
Xiang Yu himself estimated that he could not escape this time. His opponent said to the cavalry, "I have been fighting for eight years, and I have experienced more than 70 battles personally, and I have never failed, so I dominate the world." But today I'm finally stuck here. It was God who wanted me to perish, not my mistake in fighting soldiers.
Today, of course, I will fight to the death. I am willing to fight happily for everyone, and I am determined to win all three wars. I'll take your place, deus ex, slay Han Jiang and cut down the handsome flag, so that you can know that this is an act of God, not my mistake in fighting. "
So he divided his entourage into four teams and marched in four directions. Surrounded by the Han army, Xiang Yu said to the cavalry, "I'll cut him off for you again." Ordered four cavalry to attack together and agreed to meet at three places on the Shandong side. ?
So Xiang Yu rushed down with a loud cry, and the Han army was defeated and fled. Sure enough, he killed a general of the Han army. At this time, Hou Yangxi of Chiquan served as a cavalry general and was responsible for pursuing Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu glared at him and shouted. Hou Yangxi of Chiquan panicked and retreated for several miles. Xiang Yu met his cavalry at three designated places.
The Han army didn't know where Xiang Yu was, so the soldiers divided into three ways and surrounded him again. Xiang Yu rushed out and beheaded another captain of the Han army, killing more than 100 people.
He called the cavalry again and found that only two people were missing, so he asked the rider, "How is it?" The cavalry all praised: "It's as you said!" ?
So Xiang Yu wanted to cross the Wujiang River eastward. Wujiang Tingchang punted ashore and waited for Xiang Yu. He said to Xiang Yu, "Although Jiangdong is small, Fiona Fang has a land of thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of people are enough to be king. Please cross the river quickly. Now only I have a boat, even if the Han army catches up, there is no boat to cross. "
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Heaven wants to kill me. Why should I cross the river? Besides, I, Xiang Yu, led 8,000 children from Jiangdong to cross the Wujiang River to the west. Now, no one survived. Even if the elders in Jiangdong love me and make me king, how can I face them? Or even if they don't say it, don't I feel guilty about Xiang Yu? "
Then he said to the curator, "I know you are a loyal elder." I have been riding this horse for five years and I am invincible. I often travel thousands of miles every day. I can't bear to kill it for you! " "So he ordered all the riders to dismount and walk and fight with daggers and lightsabers. Xiang Yu killed 100,000 Han troops by himself. Xiang Yu himself was injured in more than ten places.
Suddenly I turned around and saw Lv Matong, the cavalry of the Han army. I said, "Aren't you my old friend?" Facing Xiang Yu, Lv Matong pointed to Xiang Yu and showed it to Wang Yi, saying, "This man is Xiang Yu." Xiang Yu said, "I heard that Hanwang offered a reward of two hundred gold for my head and named it Wan Huhou. I will give you this benefit! " Then he killed himself. ?
Tai Shigong said: I heard Zhou Sheng say that "Shun's eyes have two pupils". I also heard that Xiang Yu is also binocular. Is Xiang Yu a descendant of Shun? Why did he rise so fast? When the politics of the Qin Dynasty was poor and chaotic, Chen She was the first to challenge the Qin Dynasty. At that time, heroes came forth in large numbers, competing with each other in countless numbers.
However, Xiang Yu has no strength of one foot and one inch to rely on. He has just risen to the forefront of the people. In three years, it developed to lead the governors of the five countries to destroy Qin in one fell swoop, carve up the world of Qin, and raise their own governors. All the decrees were issued by Xiang Yu, who was named "overlord". Although the hegemony did not last to the end, there was no such figure in recent times.
When Xiang Yu gave up the Guanzhong fortress, attached himself to Chu, exiled Yidi, became king on his own, and rebelled against the resentment of his ministers who abandoned him, it would be unreasonable. Self-satisfied, trying to show personal wisdom instead of imitating the ancients, thinking that they are doing the business of overlord and trying to seize and rule the world through military conquest, is a big mistake. In five years, he lost state power and died in Dongcheng, still not waking up and not blaming himself. Is it ridiculous to say "it's not my fault that God wants to destroy me"?
In December of the fifth year of high school (202 BC), during the Chu-Han War, the two armies of Chu and Han fought a strategic decisive battle in Gaixia (now the north bank of Tuohe River in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province).
Historical background
In August of 203 BC (the fourth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty), he and the Han army broke food for the Chu army in Guangwu. Liu Bang failed to mobilize the troops of Han Xin, Peng Yue and others, and finally failed to camp the Chu army.
As a result, the two sides conducted a famous "gap and negotiation" in history, dividing the world by the canal built by Wei during the Warring States Period. In September, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, led ten Wan Chu armies to detour south road and retreat in the direction of Guling. Liu bang also wants to go back to the west.
However, just as Liu Bang was preparing to lead the army to the west, Sean and Chen Ping suggested tearing up the gap and discussing it. When Chu Jun was exhausted and came back from the east, he attacked from behind. Zhang He and others thought: "The Han Dynasty had half the world, and all the princes attached it. Chu soldiers stop eating, and this day will be the death of Chu. It is suggested that "it is better to take it because of its opportunity." "
Liu bang then adopted the advice of the two men, broke faith and suddenly launched a strategic pursuit of the Chu army. When the army chased Xia Nan, Liu Bang gathered Han Xin and Peng Yue to the south, and * * * joined the Chu army through the camp. Because Han Xin and Peng Yue didn't send troops to attack the Chu army as promised, Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu in Guling. Liu bang hurriedly led the army to retreat into Chen Xia, built a fortress to hold on, and the Chu army surrounded Liu bang again.
Liu Bang, who stuck to the pass, asked Sean: "What can a vassal do if he doesn't keep his promise?" Sean replied, "The more the Chu troops are defeated, the less land they will be divided, which is inappropriate. Kings can work with the world, and now they can make a difference. I just can't. It's unclear. The king can dedicate himself to Han Xin from Fuhai east of Chen; Suiyang went north to Gucheng in order to fight: if you kill each other, Chu will be easily defeated. "
Therefore, Liu Bang adopted Sean's advice and sealed a large territory east of Chen to Han Xin, the king of Qi. North of Suiyang to Gucheng was awarded to Peng Yue. In this way, Liu Bang finally got the touch of Han and Peng with fiefs, so that they all invaded the south. At the same time, Liu Jia led an army to unite with Ying Bu from Huaibei, and the Fifth Route Army * * * launched the final camp of Xiang Yu. The battle of Gaixia has begun.
