This sentence is to say that the State of Qin will eventually be destroyed by the descendants of the State of Chu, and it is true that Xiang Yu, the grandson of the famous General of the State of Chu, led a large army into Hangu Pass and ended the regime of the State of Qin.
Unfortunately, although Xiang Yu successfully destroyed the Qin state, he was eventually defeated by his brother Liu Bang, the governor of Surabaya Pavilion. In the end, Xiang Yu's soldiers were defeated like mountains, and Wujiang became the last song of Xiang Yu's life.
So the question is, why is xiang Yu, the god of war, so unable to open it? Obviously, he had the opportunity to return to the territory of the Chu State to make a comeback, but he had to seek death in Wujiang? Is Xiang Yu really as said in the TV series, empty of brute force?
Before we understand Xiang Yu's self-destruction, we must first start with Xiang Yu's life deeds. In the main history, Xiang Yu is not a martial artist, but a young hero who has the ambition of his family and country since childhood, and Xiang Yu's personality charm is even more remarkable, even the later martial saint Guan Yu regards Xiang Yu as an idol he admires and imitates.
Xiang Yu's life was invincible, but he was defeated in the decisive battle of Chu han, which decided life and death, leaving only legends for eternity. As for why Xiang Yu lost, the most general explanation is that Xiang Yu lacked the popular will and political sensitivity compared with Liu Bang.
In addition, the main reason for Xiang Yu's defeat to Liu Bang was to distribute this seemingly barren military dangerous land in the Bashu region to Liu Bang, which actually provided Liu Bang with the preconditions for the battle, which also doomed Xiang Yu's army to the historical end of defeat.
After the defeat of Xiang Yu's army, he led the remnants down to the side of Wujiang Pavilion, where the chief of Wujiang Pavilion at that time waited to receive Xiang Yu, hoping that Xiang Yu could return to Chu to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and when the time was ripe, he would make a comeback.
Regrettably, Xiang Yu finally decided to give up his hegemony. To this end, the surrounding warriors persuaded Xiang Yu one after another, but finally Xiang Yu explicitly refused, killing himself next to the Wujiang River, and a generation of heroes died.
For Xiang Yu's choice to resolutely die, there have been many related answers circulating in the anecdotes for thousands of years, one of which is that at this time, Xiang Yu's beloved red face Yu Ji has died in Huangquan.
For Xiang Yu, Yu Ji had already become the biggest obstacle in Xiang Yu's heart, losing the double blow of his beloved and defeat, which eventually led to Xiang Yu having no hope of survival, which made him determined to die.
At that time, Xiang Yu's mentality was very complicated, and we all know that Xiang Yu had many opportunities to easily kill Liu Bang, such as the "Hongmen Feast" that had been circulating for thousands of years.
At that time, Xiang Yu's adviser Fan Zeng vigorously asked Xiang Yu to destroy Liu Bang, but the indecisive Xiang Yu finally gave up this low-hanging fruit opportunity, which led to the tragedy of today's self-destruction of Wujiang. There is no doubt that at this time, Xiang Yu's heart is also mixed with endless remorse and self-blame for himself.
In the "Records of History", there is a certain record of Xiang Yu's previous thoughts before killing Wujiang, the main reason why Xiang Yu finally decided to kill himself was for the sake of the people of the world, seeing that because of his own sake, the people of this world were already miserable, even if he returned to Jiangdong, the "fathers and elders of Jiangdong" would no longer willingly continue to fight with him.
What's more, because of his own strategic decision-making mistakes, more or less the heroic warriors who followed him were killed and injured, all of which made Xiang Yu make a difficult decision at this moment, that is, to die alone and protect the peace and stability of Jiangdong's father and elder.
After this battle, it had long become an indisputable fact that Liu Bang occupied most of the country, and Xiang Yu knew very well in his heart that if he forcibly fought with Liu Bang again for the world, this country would never have a peaceful day.
Even if Xiang Yu returned to Chu and no longer fought for power, Liu Bang would never let Xiang Yu go, and was bound to kill Xiang Yu completely, after all, the reputation of the King of Western Chu was no joke. Therefore, the real reason for Xiang Yu's self-destruction is to use righteousness to make up for all his previous mistakes and return to the land of China a piece of tranquility.
Conclusion: I think the reason why Xiang Yu can become a heroic role that has been sung for a long time in Chinese history is that in addition to Xiang Yu's spirit of war, it is inseparable from the rich emotional color of Xiang Yu.
The shock and achievements he has presented to the world are difficult to find throughout the long river of history, and at the same time, he has left an extremely valuable cultural wealth for Chinese history.
