One of the reasons is that Xiang Yu's tide is gone, and he can turn over even if he returns to Jiangdong. Second, because when Xiang Yu rose, he brought with him 8,000 children of Jiangdong who had been killed and wounded. Moreover, Xiang Yu not only broke with Fan Zeng, but even Chu Huaiwang admired by Chu people was killed by Xiang Yu. Third, because Xiang Yu is arrogant and unwilling to accept failure, he has no face for his elders in Jiangdong.
Xiang Yu's tide is gone, and even if he returns to Jiangdong, it will be difficult to turn over. There are many reasons why Xiang Yu failed. Brave as he is, he is cruel. He not only burned Epang Palace in Qin State, but also wantonly killed it late, and even appeared the phenomenon of massacre. Xiang Yu's cruelty made him slowly lose the hearts of the people, and Liu Bang slowly gained the hearts of the people during this period. Therefore, after Xiang Yu's defeat, even if he could cross the river and return to Jiangdong, the tide was gone, and Liu Bang's power was extremely strong, so it was difficult for Xiang Yu to turn over again.
Eight thousand children of Jiangdong who were taken away by Xiang Yu during the uprising have been killed and injured, and he not only broke up with Fan Zeng, but also killed Chu Huaiwang. When Uncle Xiang Yu first started the uprising, the children of Jiangdong still believed in them, so 8,000 children of Jiangdong responded in succession. However, after Xiang Yu took over the power, he first broke with Fan Zeng, the representative of Chu people in Jiangdong, and then directly killed Chu Huaiwang, who had established himself, completely chilling the hearts of Jiangdong's children. Therefore, even if Xiang Yu can return to Jiangdong, he will not be convinced by him compared with Jiangdong's children. Therefore, Xiang Yu did not choose to spend Wujiang, but committed suicide in Wujiang.
Arrogant Xiang Yu was unwilling to accept defeat. He felt that he had no face to face his elders in Jiangdong. Xiang Yu's youth became famous and was born with divine power. He has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is familiar with the art of war. After Guangwu Uprising, Chen Sheng and Xiang Yu responded with 8,000 Jiangdong children and were invincible. Soon, his reputation spread far and wide, and also attracted countless governors and advisers to defect. The smooth life made Xiang Yu unruly, arrogant and unwilling to accept failure. So after being defeated by Liu Bang, he felt that he had nothing to say to the elders in Jiangdong, so he didn't want to cross the river back to Jiangdong.
Moreover, if Xiang Yu returns to Jiangdong, Liu Bang will not let him go, and will lead an army to crusade, so the people in Jiangdong will suffer from war and bring disaster to their elders in Jiangdong, so Xiang Yu chose to commit suicide in Wujiang in order not to implicate the people in his hometown, which is also the result of his careful consideration.
Xiang Yu is a generation of talents. In troubled times, he and his uncle rebelled with eight thousand children in Jiangdong. After many battles, Xiang Yu's bravery was slowly revealed, attracting the votes of countless governors and counselors. But in the end, he lost to Liu Bang and was forced to Wujiang River. Xiang Yu knew that he was doomed and it was difficult to compete with Liu Bang. Moreover, all the 8,000 children in Jiangdong who were brought out by themselves were killed and wounded, and they had no face to face their elders in Jiangdong. If they choose to cross the Wujiang River and return to Jiangdong at this time, then Liu Bang's men will inevitably kill him and bring harm to Jiangdong's elders. Finally, Xiang Yu decided to commit suicide in Wujiang River, and a generation of Chu tyrants fell.
