The Story of Farewell My Concubine

Xiang Yu's army was a main force of the peasant uprising army at the end of Qin Dynasty. In the Battle of Julu, more than 300,000 Qin Jun were destroyed, which led to the final demise of Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu is young and brave, with infinite strength and outstanding ability. He is equipped with eight guns and a dark horse. He is invincible. After the Qin dynasty was destroyed, he held himself to a high position, was the strongest, and became the overlord of the place. China, who unified the Qin Dynasty, was re-awarded to the eighteen-route princes. He awarded the governors not according to the size of the meritorious military service and the strength of military strength, but according to his own likes and dislikes, which caused dissatisfaction among governors from all walks of life. One of the most powerful is Liu Bang, who is in charge of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong. This is the place where prisoners were exiled in the Qin Dynasty. Most of the soldiers of the Han army are from Shandong, and no one wants to go to this remote and barren place far from home. Soldiers often escape. Liu Bang was angry with Xiang Yu, but he was a very resourceful man. He listened to the adviser's advice, saved his strength, took advantage of the opportunity of sending troops to attack Qi, sent troops to capture Guanzhong, took the land and pushed eastward. Chu overlord was furious. With his brave military superiority, he returned to the army and defeated Liu Bang. The war between them lasted five years. Continuous fighting, chaos, lack of food and grass, people have no intention to work, and life is difficult. Xiang and Liu were finally forced to call a truce. The two sides took Xianyang as the boundary, with Chu in the east and Han in the west, and each kept its boundary and did not invade each other. Liu Bang exchanged documents, and Liu asked Xiang Yu to return his father and wife Lu, who were captured by the Chu army in the war. Xiang Yu was generous and immediately released two important hostages. Liu bang was deeply grateful. In the second year, Liu Bang suddenly broke his word and took advantage of Xiang Yu's withdrawal to pursue and annihilate the Chu army. The overlord of Chu flew into a rage, lambasted Liu Bang, a treacherous villain, and quickly assembled 300,000 troops to counter Liu Bang's Han army. He is extremely brave and invincible with an eight-foot long pike. He killed the Han army, killed the Han general, fled hastily, quickly retreated to the altitude, closed the city gate and could not fight. Liu bang is a resourceful man, with a group of resourceful military advisers and generals under his command. They are determined to unite Han Xin, Wei and other powerful Qi governors to * * * encircle Xiang Yu. Liu Bang also promised to give Linzi and Daliang to Han Xin and Peng Yue as long as Xiang Yu was defeated. Governors from all walks of life promised to give more support to Liu Bang, and several troops joined forces, with plenty of soldiers and food, and the momentum was huge. A war to encircle the overlord of the western Chu is about to begin. First of all, Liu Bang worships Han Xin, who is resourceful and used to fighting. Their first military action was to take advantage of the counsel of Sean, a counselor, and take advantage of the siege of Guling by the Chu army to quietly send 5,000 elite soldiers around the grain depot of the Chu army chariot, set fire to the grain depot of the Chu army, and buried the curse of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, who would fight without food in the future. Xiang Yu is brave and unique, and all his men are brave and good at fighting. How to design Xiang Yu to take out his camp position, lead people into a dead end and surround them all? Marshal Han Xin personally showed his advisers around the terrain. Finally, I chose Jiuli Mountain in Anhui and sent troops to ambush from all directions. At the same time, Li Zuoche, a glib counselor, was sent to surrender, gaining the trust of Xiang Yu and luring him to fly a knife. Xiang Yu has hundreds of thousands of troops, but his strength is far from that of Liu Bang. He is determined to defend the city with deep trenches and high bases and not to confront Liu Bang's huge army head-on. Besides, Jiangdong is the place where Xiang Yu fought, and the people's hearts turned to the overlord. As long as he holds his ground patiently, he will never attack rashly. A month or two later, the Han army ran out of food and grass, and he retreated without a fight. However, Xiang Yu's biggest regret is that there are no smart and capable people around him. On this day, Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Bo rushed to report that

Xiang Yu attached great importance to Li Zuoche and immediately sent someone to bring him into the account for questioning and investigation. Li Zuoche was polite, cautious and sincere: "Your Majesty, there is nothing I can do. I am a family all over the world. I want to join you. If I can win your majesty's trust, I am willing to fight with my life. " Xiang Yu was very satisfied with his manners. However, at present, the two armies are at war, and there are too many spies pretending to surrender. We must guard against them! Xiang Bo bluntly said: "The military exchanges between the two countries have to guard against those who are treacherous." "I'm just a counselor and can't go out to fight. What's the plan? Let's get this straight. We need to discuss it. In the end, I am the king. As for the actual or false arrangement of your troops, Han Xin has been spying for a long time, so I don't need to take the risk of beheading and pretending to listen. If the king has doubts, I will be blind and vote for his master by mistake, which is the greatest stupidity. If I die before the king, I can see my heart. " Say and Li Zuoche walked to the edge of the pillar and was saved by all. Li Zuoche is a knowledgeable and intelligent person. Seeing that he was totally loyal, the overlord naturally wanted to find out the truth about Liu Bang's camp from him, so he stayed with him to meet him. Xiang Yu's army held its ground and refused to attack. The whole camp was silent, waiting. Suddenly, the spy came to report that Han Xin's army soldiers took a piece of paper, posted a notice insulting the king, copied it carefully, and submitted it to the king for careful inspection. The notice said: "Everyone's heart was betrayed by Chu, and God's will returned. The sword gives birth to flames, and the king beheads. " . Xiang Yu was strong-willed and grumpy, adding fuel to the fire. How can he tolerate other people's malicious teasing? We were about to summon soldiers to capture Han Xin, but Zhou Lan and other generals tried their best to stop them: "This is Han Xin's trick to lure soldiers, but he wrote such nonsense poems to incite the king's anger. Never act rashly. " Xiang Yu turned around and deliberately asked Li Zuoche for advice. Li Zuoche Road; "Han Xin is arrogant, deliberately daring, don't scare the king. However, in my opinion, if you want to preserve your strength, you can't always hide. Do you think they can wait in Han Xin for a long time without fighting? Mortars will make soldiers and horses consume food and grass. When they see that you can't attack for a long time, they will dispatch troops to attack your territory, Peng Cheng. If Pengcheng falls, you will be homeless. If you take the initiative to lead the troops into battle and win the battle, you can naturally break Liu Zhijun; If you can't win, you can retreat to Pengcheng. This is the best way to advance and fight, retreat and defend. However, as a newcomer, I dare not talk more. " Li Zuoche eloquent, persuasive, well-founded, and finally persuaded the headstrong Xiang Yu to take the initiative, led hundreds of troops stationed. Xiang Yu's servant, Yu Ji's younger brother, is loyal to Xiang Yu. He thinks Li Zuoche is dishonest, but Xiang Yu is hard to listen to other people's opinions. He had no choice but to go to his sister to persuade Xiang Yu to change his mind. Yu Ji followed Xiang Yu for many years. She is not only beautiful and smart, but also knows her husband's temperament because she has practiced sword from primary school. She often helps her husband solve problems and listens to her advice. Today, when I heard my brother talking about Li Zuoche, I was particularly anxious. I secretly worry that Wang Ba's arrogant personality, which is arbitrary and does not listen to advice, will be defeated by Liu Bang sooner or later. It's getting late, so Xiang Yu went back to camp to have a rest. Seeing Xiang Yu's unhappy face, Yu Ji waited on him more carefully, disarmed him and whispered to him why he was angry. Xiang Yu said: "Liu Bang, an ungrateful little man, saw all the princes fighting with me and spread all kinds of posts to vilify the lonely king." Yu Ji took the opportunity to persuade, "The way to fight is to know yourself and know yourself. If you rush to send troops in a rage, I'm afraid Liu's army is unstoppable and Han Xin is treacherous and good at fighting. Isn't it the blessing of the king! " "Concubine makes sense, every word makes sense. If you dare not send troops alone, won't you be laughed at by the princes of the world? " "The gentleman is resilient and not afraid of jokes? Let's talk about Li Zuoche's sharp teeth. The details are not clear yet, so we need to be more careful.

The next day, the trumpets sounded in the Chu camp, flags fluttered, Xiang Yu came to power, and various military forces gathered to prepare for the battle. Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the sky and a gust of wind blew, breaking the flagpole of the national flag. Under Xiang Yu's seat, Wu Zhui trembled, jumped and roared. The soldiers felt ominous and frightened to disgrace. Zhou Lan, Xiang Yu's favorite general, advised, "It's no use folding flags and shouting in the army!" Yu Ji also advised: "Send troops today; I hope that after your guidance, you will win. " Xiang Yu snorted in his nose. He fought with Liu Bang seventy times and never lost. Now, the arrow has left the string, the sword has been drawn, and parting is imminent. Is there any reason to return it? At this critical juncture, Li Zuoche took the opportunity to report a good news to Wang Ba: Han Xin was overjoyed and gathered many soldiers, but he didn't know that the resistance was too great. Seeing that the food and grass could not be saved, he ordered some troops to return to their posts, and Hanwang Liu Bang also led some troops back to the altitude. We should take this opportunity to speed up our March and attack the Han army. Hearing the news, Xiang Yu strengthened his determination to attack and immediately marched into Gaixia with a great army.
