Heroes come from troubled times. At the end of Qin Dynasty, due to the tyranny of eunuch Zhao Gao, heavy corvee, various exorbitant taxes and cruel punishments, countless peasants were forced to rise up. After the most heroic Daze Township Uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu broke out in an all-round way, Zhao Gao and Qin Ershi treated the people more extreme. Finally, a Chu teenager was driven by the tragic situation of his own people to make an earth-shattering roar!
The hero is a teenager. He led 8,000 Jiangdong children to cross the Zhangshui River, cross the rubicon and win more in Julu. Defeat Qin Jun's main force in one fell swoop. Soon, he swept the world with a devastating trend, sent the decadent Daqin Dynasty to the grave, and finally drank Ma Zhongyuan, calling himself "the overlord of the West Chu".
He is Xiang Yu.
Some people may say, "Xiang Yu is not a hero at all. He is too cruel and violent. He can only be a hero at best. "
In that case, who is the real hero in the world? Who can arrogantly say, "He will take his place!" when the Daqin Dynasty is the most powerful and the country is rich and strong? And really put it into practice?
In fact, Xiang Yu's ferocity is only aimed at his enemies.
First of all, he angered and killed insatiable greed, searched for people's wealth everywhere, and sent troops to respond to the Chen Sheng uprising; Obey God's will and win people's hearts.
Secondly, he tried to punish Yi Song, who was only an armchair strategist, but was afraid of death, thus delaying the fighter plane, seizing the military power and inspiring the morale of the army.
Finally, he assassinated Chu Huaiwang, who was incompetent, misled the country and people and indulged in debauchery all day. On the contrary, he gained kingship and prestige.
At this point, it can be said that every step of Xiang Yu's success is based on killing, but he killed the right person! Even he once killed more than 200,000 soldiers in Qin Jun, but never killed an innocent person. He once burned down the whole Epang Palace in a big fire, but he never set fire to any ideal city he conquered.
However, why do people always compare Xiang Yu with those murderous and bloodthirsty robbers? If only because of the cruel treatment of the enemy, can you erase all the achievements made by the overlord of Xi for the benefit of all the people in the world? Do you have to be cruel to yourself and kind to the enemy to be a hero?
In this way, I'm afraid no one in the world dares to pretend to be a hero!
In fact, according to the historical background that the Qin Dynasty was torn apart, warlords fought in various places and fought for years, and under the natural law of the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest, what's wrong with Xiang Yu's means of winning peace by violence, exchanging sacrifice for freedom and maintaining the unity of the world by killing? So Xiang Yu is not only a hero, but also a brave and resourceful hero!
However, it is such a hero, but there is no talented and handsome person around him. Hate Fan Zeng's carelessness in planning, Xiang Zhuang's foolhardy, and Xiang Bo's secret association with Sean, so that Liu Bang actually muddled through at the Hongmen banquet.
Later, Hanwang was canonized. Because Xiang Yu was too kind and moral and appreciated Liu Bang as a talented person, he ignored Fan Zeng's advice and let the tiger go. But isn't Liu Bang also an idle person? He underestimated Liu Bang's strength so much that when he was besieged by Liu Bang, he realized that he had actually lost!
In the next battle, Sean of the Han Dynasty took advantage of the Chu army's hay to be in an emergency, and actually used the villain's trick-ordering the sergeant to escort more than a thousand women and children in Jiangdong to the camp of the Chu army, and threatening them to sing Chu songs by force. At that time, the morale of the soldiers of the Chu army plummeted, thinking that Chu was occupied by Liu Bang, and the last line of defense in his heart completely collapsed.
At this moment, an impassioned elegy came from the account of the overlord army: "What can I do if I pull out the mountain and make the world angry?"
This is Xiang Yu telling his beloved concubine Yu Ji all the helplessness in his heart. Because since the "conferring Hanwang" incident, Fan Zeng, who was revered as the father of Xiang Yu, has long abandoned him. Liu Bang also proudly said: "Xiang Yu has a Fan Zeng, so he was captured by me when he didn't need it."
After Fan Zeng left, Yu Ji became Xiang Yu's only confidante. Perhaps only a beautiful woman like Yu Ji is the one who knows the hero of Xiang Yu best.
Hearing this sad overlord song, she was heartbroken, and she also made up her mind: "The Han soldiers have been a little bit, singing everywhere, and the king is exhausted." What can I do for a concubine? " After the Song Dynasty, while Xiang Yu was unprepared, he drew his sword and committed suicide.
As a woman, Yu Ji actually understands the truth that "a gentleman is sour and a gentleman humiliates me to death", so why not teach the world to be ashamed?
Beauty's fragrance fades away, and overlord's heart aches.
But the tide has gone out. At this time, Xiang Yu was the end of the hero, trapped in ambush on all sides. Only by putting all your eggs in one basket and organizing a breakthrough to fight for a larger foe can you have a chance. Xiang Yu ordered his men to break through and escape, but his 8,000 sons and daughters in Jiangdong vowed to share life and death with him, * * *!
After a fierce battle, Xiang Yu, who succeeded in breaking through, dragged his tired and scarred body to the Wujiang River. At this time, he discovered that in order to cover himself, none of the 8,000 Jiangdong children who followed him for many years survived, and the Chu army was wiped out!
At this time, there was an old fisherman by the Wujiang River who was willing to send Xiang Yu across the Wujiang River and back to Chu, and advised him to use the extraordinary wisdom and courage of the overlord of Xi Chu to make a comeback with the passage of time!
However, Xiang Yu declined the kindness of the old fisherman, and the endless fighting for years had already made him physically and mentally haggard. He felt that 8,000 sons and daughters in Jiangdong died by themselves, and finally understood what it meant to be "a great success, a thousand bones withered". A strong sense of guilt made him ashamed to return to the hot land where he was born, and even more afraid to face orphans and widows who lost their loved ones.
Xiang Yu has only one death to thank his elders in Jiangdong, and only one death can save his heroic honor!
Wandering by the Wujiang River, Xiang Yu tearfully broke his square painting halberd, and then cut off the reins and let go of the Uzhui BMW, which had fought side by side with him for many years.
Wu Zhui drifted away and never came back. The era of Xiang Yu has passed.
Cangshan is like the sea and the sunset is like blood. In the cold wind, Xiang Yu resolutely pulled out a five-foot sword ... In an instant, the superstar fell, the sun and the moon were dull, and even the sound of Jiang Tao patting the shore turned into a sigh ... Xiang Yu, a hero who overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty and crisscrossed the country for decades, ended his legendary life by committing suicide in Wujiang.
Xiang Yu was defeated in the next battle. Although the defeat was glorious and Liu Bang won, it was not martial!
Even so, Xiang Yu failed after all, but it was because of his failure that he and Yu Ji had a passion and a tenderness, and this touching love story came into being. It was because of his failure that Liu Bang's imperial career was completed, and "the system of cultural scene" and "the flourishing age of civil and military affairs" appeared.
I once fantasized that maybe Xiang Yu's failure and even his death were all arranged by God? Because the highest honor of being a military commander is to die in a bloody battle, and the most terrible thing is that heroes are useless; A hero like Xiang Yu would rather die in battle than waste his time in a quiet and peaceful day. Imagine that if the world is really peaceful, then Xiang Yu will have no place for heroes, and he can only die in the gloomy years of recalling the past. This is really cruel to him. Therefore, his death may really be a blessing from heaven. It is better to let Xiang Yu lead the way after the defeat than to let him die in peace and prosperity. How strong is it? In contrast, the latter is more heroic!
Although Xiang Yu died, he realized the arrogant oath he made before his death and really replaced the Daqin Dynasty. He completed a short and brilliant life in less than 30 years.
Today, more than 2000 years later, the land of Kyushu has forgotten the Jin Ge Tie Ma, which competed with the drums on Huangchen Ancient Road, and the era has begun to write a new chapter. Countless heroes have gradually become unfamiliar or forgotten with the changes of history; The impression left by Xiang Yu gradually blurred to the only sentence left by Li Qingzhao: Xiang Yu, don't be forgotten. Your upright and resolute nature, outspoken character and heroic feat of sacrificing your life for righteousness will make this "overlord of the place of West Chu" admired and praised by future generations forever.
Live like a hero, die like a ghost,
Today, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to live and returned to the East.
Are these four short poems really all that Xiang Yu left us? No, we should have the spirit of our Chinese nation, be fearless of power, persevere, and dare to fight for freedom, ideals and beliefs. This spirit is called "backbone".
Xiang Yu, you should not be forgotten. Your honest nature, upright character and heroic feat of sacrificing your life for righteousness will make "the overlord of Xi Chu" admired and praised by future generations forever.
