Historical allusion: During the struggle between the Chu and Han Dynasties, the Han King Liu Bang reused Han Xin from Huaiyin, and successively captured Wei Wangbao, Zhao Wangxie, Yan Wang Zangtu, and Qi Wang Tianguang. He was named by Liu Bang as the queen of Qi and led an army of 300,000 troops with Peng Yue’s army. Xiang Yu was besieged in Gaixia (now southeast of Lingbi County, Suzhou City, Anhui Province). He adopted the tactic of ambushing on all sides, forcing Xiang Yu to slay himself in Wujiang and obtain A decisive victory.
In October 202 BC, Han Wang Liu Bang led his troops to pursue Xiang Yu who retreated to Pengcheng. After chasing to the south of Yangxia, Liu Bang ordered a suspension of the pursuit, and sent an envoy to contact Han Xin, Peng Yue and others, promising to share the world with them in the future, and sealing large tracts of land in Linzi, Daliang, and Huainan to them. Sure enough, the envoys returned one after another, and the princes were about to send troops. Soon, all the princes sent troops to attack Xiang Yu’s army. Han Xin’s 300,000 soldiers and horses went south from Qi, cutting off Xiang Yu’s retreat to Pengcheng; Peng Yue led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to reach Guling and Liu Bang’s division, serving as the main attack; Liu Jia and Yingbu Zishou Chun led his troops northward, cutting off Xiang Yu's way of fleeing south. Xiang Yu's army continued to shrink and retreated to Gaixia (now north bank of the Tuohe River in the southeast of Lingbi, Anhui), and was hit by Han Xin's "ambush on all sides." The army of the princes swarmed in and surrounded Xiang Yu's army.
The Han army was "ambush on all sides", shaped like a skynet, and the Chu army stood firmly at the Gaixia, like a bird. At this moment, Xiang Yu's counterattack looked like trapped beasts still fighting; Liu Bangjun's offensive successes were frequent. Gai down the battlefield, the killing sound shook the sky. The two armies fight hard, you will die. The famous battle of Gai Xia began like this.
In order to further shake and disintegrate the Chu army, one night, Liu Bang asked the Han army to sing the song of Chu. When Chu Jun heard this, he missed his hometown more and more. Xiang Yu was shocked and said: "All Han people are already Chu Chu? There are so many people!" Xiang Yu couldn't sleep in panic, drinking in the military tent late at night. He drank alcohol and sang passionately and generously. The song said: "Strike the mountains and the world, and the times are not going to die! What can you do if you are not going to die? How can you be afraid of it!" It is said that his love Concubine Yu Ji also started to sing and sang together, saying: "The soldiers of the Han Dynasty have already left the ground, and Chu singing from all directions. The king is full of spirits, and how can a lowly concubine live!" After singing, she drew her sword and died of suicide. Seeing that the general situation was gone, Xiang Yu led eight hundred cavalry to escape southwards overnight. At dawn the next day, Liu Bang found that Xiang Yu had broken through. So Guan Ying led five thousand cavalry to chase after him.
Xiang Yu crossed the Huai River and continued to follow him with only a hundred cavalry. Xiang Yu went to Yinling (Sibei, Dingyuan County, Anhui), lost his way, sank into lakes and marshes, and was pursued by the Han army. Xiang Yu led the army and retreated, and retreated to Wujiang (now Wujiangpu in the northeast of Hexian County, Anhui), leaving only 28 soldiers. A small boat is docked by the river. Chief Wujiang Ting asked him to get on the boat and said: "Even though the Jiangdong is small, the place is thousands of miles away, with hundreds of thousands of people, it is also the king. May the great king flee in a hurry. Today the only minister has a boat, and the Han army arrives, and there is no way to cross." Xiang Yu said "I am dead in the sky, how can I cross the river for me! And Ji Ji has crossed the river with 8,000 people from Jiangdong to the west, and today no one has returned. If Jiangdong's father is pitying and king me, how can I see it? You deserve it?" Then he said to the chief pavilion: "I know the old man. I rode this horse for five years, so I am invincible. I have to travel thousands of miles a day and cannot bear to kill it in order to give my father." So he ordered the rider. They all dismounted and walked, fighting with short and light swords in hand, and Xiang Yu alone killed hundreds of Han soldiers. Xiang Yu himself was injured in more than ten places. Suddenly he turned his head and saw Sima Lu Matong, a cavalry of the Han army, and said, "If it is not my old friend?" Lu Matong faced Xiang Yu, pointed Xiang Yu to Wang Yi, and said, "This is the king." Xiang Yu said: "Wu Wen I buy my first daughter in Han, and I am in thousands of households, and I am Ruode." After speaking, he died of suicide.
