Han Dynasty: Sima Qian

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: "Pull up the mountain and denounce the world! "Bad times never die! What can I do without dying? What is it? " 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. When Wang Xiang arrived at Yin Ling, he lost his way and asked Tianfu, who said "Left". Left, but trapped in daze. Catch up with ancient books. 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. Wang Xiang can't live without himself. He said: "I have been eight years old since I joined the army, and I have fought more than 70 wars. I have never lost, I have 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. "

Divided into four teams and four directions. The Han army has a large number. King Xiang said he rode, "I'll take one for the public." Ride all over the place and visit Shandong. So Wang Xiang let out a cry and galloped down on horseback. The Han army was invincible and beheaded a Han general. At that time, Chi Quanhou was angry because Wang Xiang rode a general to chase 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 knelt down and said, "As the king said."

So Wang Xiang wants to cross the Wujiang River eastward. The director of 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 created by more than a dozen people. Gu Jianhuan rode Sima Lv Matong and said, "If it weren't for 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. Wang Jin took his head, and Yu Qi fought for the king and killed dozens of people. Finally, the doctor rode Yang and Sima, and the doctor got one each from Lu Sheng and Yang Wu.

Xiang Wang's army was stationed in Gaixia, and the food was serenaded. The Han army and the vassal army surrounded him. Late at night, (Xiang Yu) heard that the Han army was singing Chu songs in all directions, so Xiang Yu was greatly surprised and said, "Did the Han army conquer all the Chu people? Why are there so many Chu people over there? " King Xiang got up at night and drank in his tent. There is a beauty and fame, he has always been favored by Wang Xiang; There is a famous war horse named Zhuécé, who has been riding (Xiang Yu). At this time, Xiang Yu couldn't help singing a sad song, and wrote a poem himself (singing): "I can pull out mountains with strength, and I am heroic." When the luck is bad, the horse will not run! " Princess, what if you don't run? How will I arrange you properly? "Sing a few times, the beautiful concubine should also sing. "。 Xiang Wang burst into tears, and the waiters around him also shed tears. No one has the heart to look up at him.

In this case, Xiang Yu rode a horse alone, with more than 800 strong men behind him. That night, he broke through the encirclement and rushed to the south. At dawn, the Han army realized and ordered the rider Guan Ying to lead five thousand cavalry to catch up. King Xiang crossed the Huaihe River, and only a hundred strong men could keep up. Wang Xiang got lost when he arrived at Yinling. He asked a farmer, and the farmer lied to him and said, "Turn left." Xiang Wang led his men to the left and got stuck in the swamp. So the Han soldiers caught up with them. Xiang Wang then ran east with cavalry and arrived in Dongcheng, leaving only 28 people. Thousands of people were overtaken by Han cavalry. Wang Xiang himself estimated that he could not escape, so he said to his cavalry, "I have led the uprising for eight years, and I personally fought more than 70 wars. All the enemies who resisted me were defeated, and all the enemies I attacked surrendered and never lost, so I was able to dominate the world. But now I'm finally stuck here. It's because God wants to destroy me, not because of the fight. There is no doubt that I will die today. I am willing to give you a good fight, and I will win three times. I will break through the encirclement for you, slay the Han generals and cut down the military flag, so that you can know that it is indeed God's will to destroy me, and it is by no means the fault of combat. "

So the cavalry was divided into four teams, facing four directions. The Han army surrounded them for several floors. King Xiang said to the cavalry, "I'll take a Han general for you!" " "He ordered knights from all directions to gallop down the mountain, and agreed to rush to the east of the mountain and meet in three places. So Wang Xiang let out a cry and rushed down, and the Han army fell down like grass and trees lodging in the wind. Wang Xiang killed a Han general. At this time, Chiquan Hou Yangxi rode to the Han army and chased Wang Xiang behind. Wang Xiang stared at him, and Hou Lian of Chiquan backed away for several miles. King Xiang and his cavalry met in three places. The Han army didn't know the whereabouts of Wang Xiang, so they divided into three ways and surrounded again. Wang Ce Ma Chong went up, beheaded another captain of the Han army, killed one hundred and eighty people, assembled cavalry, and lost only two people. King Xiang asked the cavalry, "How's it going?" The cavalry said respectfully, "just like the king said." "

At this time, Wang Xiang wanted to cross the Wujiang River eastward. The director of Wujiang Pavilion was waiting to dock there and said to Wang Xiang, "Although Jiangdong is small, it has a land of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of thousands, which is enough for you to be king. I hope your majesty will cross the river quickly. Now I'm the only boat here, and the Han army has arrived and can't get through. " King Xiang said with a smile, "God wants to destroy me, so why should I cross the Wujiang River?" ! Besides, eight thousand children from Jiangdong and I crossed the river to the west, and no one has come back now. Even if my friends in Jiangdong love me and make me king, how can I face them? Even if they don't say anything, don't I feel guilty in Ji Xiang? "He said to Tingchang," I know you are a loyal elder. I have been riding this horse for five years and I am invincible. I used to walk thousands of miles every day. I can't bear to kill it for you. "Command the cavalry to dismount and walk, and engage the troops with short weapons. Xiang Yu killed hundreds of Han troops by himself. Xiang Yu himself was injured in more than ten places. Wang Xiang looked back and saw the Han army riding Sima Lv Matong. He said, "Aren't you an old friend of mine?" At this time, stable boy met Wang Xiang, so he pointed Xiang Yu to Wang Yi: "This is Wang Xiang." So Wang Xiang said, "I heard that Hanwang offered a reward for my head, with a daughter and thousands of families in the city. I will give you personal feelings! " "Say that finish then commit suicide and die. Wang Ming took Wang Xiang's head, and other cavalry trampled on each other for Wang Xiang's body. Dozens of people were killed because of the fight. Finally, the doctor rode Yang and Sima, and the doctor Lu Sheng and Yang Wu each got a corpse.
