The story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji

Women who played politics in ancient times were all beautiful women, but some beautiful women didn't all play politics. They are unknown, stick to women's morality, selfless dedication and radiant. Yu Meiren belongs to the latter.

Yu Meiren, namely Yu Ji, is the beloved woman of Xiang Yu's life.

Some people say that the love between Xiang Yu and Yu Ji is a match made in heaven. This family and the Yu family are both nobles of the State of Chu. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Chu, they moved to Suqian County, Jiangsu Province to live in seclusion. Xiang Yu and Yu Wei grew up together and were childhood friends, so both of them became friends of Qin Jin.

Whenever Xiang Yu struggles outside, Yu Ji will stay in her tent and wait for Xiang Yu to come back, always thinking about the war at the front, with butterflies in his stomach. One day, Xiang Yu came back, and Yu Ji quickly welcomed him to the account, but when she saw Xiang Yu describe him as exhausted, distracted and in a trance, unlike the heroic spirit he won back in the past, she knew something was wrong.

Xiang Yu sat down, slightly calmer, smiled and whispered carefully about the war ahead. When she heard the news of Xiang Liang's death, she couldn't help being pale and heartbroken, but she didn't dare to show a look of panic on her face, for fear of getting into trouble with Xiang Yu. She quickly ordered people to put on the prepared tables and drinks, and relieved Xiang Yu's boredom with the strength of wine. At this point, she can only secretly swallow sad tears.

In this way, when Xiang Yu went out to war, she encouraged him and placed high hopes on him to bless his safe return; When Xiang Yu returned to camp triumphantly, she congratulated him with dancing, tenderness and charm, singing and entertaining songs;

When Xiang Yu encountered setbacks, she comforted him with "it is common for military strategists, and winning or losing is common for military strategists"; Even she will wear combat boots and embroidered armor and ride a horse to follow Xiang Yu to the battlefield as his strong backing. With this powerful spiritual pillar, Xiang Yu became more and more brave and invincible.

In the Battle of Julu, Chu Huaiwang sent Song Yi and Xiang Yu to rescue Chen Yu. As the saying goes, saving troops is like putting out a fire. However, as the main commander, Yi Song was afraid of Qin's army, and he deliberately delayed and stayed. Xiang Yu was furious, killed Yi Song and led the army to cross the river. Xiang Yu burned his bridges and threatened to prepare only three days' food to show the whole army that there was death and no life in this war.

In the war between Julu and Qin Jun, Xiang Yu's troops fought bravely, crying for land and screaming loudly, and Xiang Yu defeated Qin Jun. After the war of Julu, Xiang Yu has become the commander-in-chief of various vassal armies and the general of vassal generals. All the vassal armies who participated in the Battle of Julu were under his command, willing to obey his orders and always followed him to the Western Expedition. Then he killed 200,000 Qin Jun who surrendered and went to Xianyang with a great army.

After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu became the overlord of the West Chu. He enfeoffed people who contributed from all walks of life, either as kings or princes, and my concubine was also named beauty. At that time, the emperor's inner palace was divided into queen, wife, beauty, lover, eight sons, seven sons, long ambassadors and few ambassadors. Xiang Yu claimed to be the overlord of Chu, and his position was naturally lower than that of the emperor. Using "beauty" to seal Wei Yu is already a relatively high name. Since then, Yu Meiren's name has spread.

? During the Chu-Han War, the beauty of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was named Yu. The year of birth and death, place of birth, ending and so on are inconclusive. She was always with Xiang Yu in the embattled predicament, and Xiang Yu wrote the Song of Gaixia for her. According to legend, Yu Ji has a beautiful face, equal talent and graceful dancing, and is known as "The Mermaid".

According to Yu Ji's Song of Concubine and Song of Concubine, later generations speculated that her ending was suicide in Chu camp, so a legend of "Farewell My Concubine" spread.
