It is said that Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to take the gap as the boundary and not invade each other. Later, Liu Bang followed the advice of Sean and Chen Ping, and thought that Xiang Yu should be destroyed when he was weak. Then, together with Han Xin, Peng Yue and Rebekah Liu, he chased Xiang Yu's army eastward to Pengcheng. Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu. At this time of Xiang Yu's Serenade, there was no food. At night, when I heard that the troops around him were singing Chu folk songs, I couldn't help but say with great surprise, "Did Liu Bang get Chu?" Why are there so many Chu people in his army? "Say, the in the mind has lost the fighting spirit, then got up from the bed, drinking in the tent camp, singing with concubine. Song Xiu and Xiang Yu got on the horse and escaped from the south with only 800 cavalry. They fled and fought, and died in Chi Pan, Wujiang River. This is the story under siege.
Li Qingzhao, an outstanding poetess in ancient China, praised Xiang Yu in her poems: "Life is a hero, and death is a hero." I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. "
Looking back now, why did Xiang Yu hold on to his face? If he understands the truth that "the green hills are there, he is not afraid of burning wood", he can make a comeback after crossing the Wujiang River, not to be stained with blood, and be flexible. What he said was to learn to be flexible. There are too many such examples at home and abroad: for example, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was exiled to a foreign country because of his national subjugation and suffered humiliation. After returning home, he made up his mind to rejuvenate the country, make a living and eat internal organs every day. And why can't Xiang Yu? A pine tree, why do the branches keep coming when the snowstorm comes? Because branches are elastic and tough, they can bend and stretch. When the snow on the branches reaches a certain thickness, the branches will lean down, the snow will slide down and then bounce back.
It shows that temporary submission does not mean failure, but for a better survival and a chance to start again. What a tree can do, let alone people. With Xiang Yu's talent and strategy, if you cross the Wujiang River, you will be the overlord of the place of Xi Chu. Recruit troops in Jiangdong, strengthen training, and make yourself stronger, so as to compete with Liu Bang for the world again. If you succeed, you will go down in history. Compared with Wujiang's suicide, it was also told through the ages, but it was successful and its achievements in history were also very high. What is admired by later generations is no longer the sad ending!
These items are all done, because he is willing to cross the threshold of face and cross the Wujiang River!
