Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118 Physical Shackles
The generals under Beigong Boyu saw that the number of soldiers around Xiang Yu was indeed very small. Although the formation they formed seemed to be quite imposing, but the generals on their side rushed up with a large number of soldiers, it must be the same. It is possible to kill Xiang Yu, a nasty guy, here, so a bloody and tragic battle in the rain is about to start.

In fact, these generals under Beigong Boyu have never considered a possibility, but if they choose to surrender to Xiang Yu, they may still be able to save their lives. Now Xiang Yu is not as fond of the Qin Dynasty as he was in his previous life. Some kind of deep-rooted national hatred and family hatred, so he would kill the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty and burn Xianyang City. Now Xiang Yu can't find a reason to do things in a special way.

But now these Beigong Boyu's soldiers feel that they have a chance to defeat and kill Xiang Yu on the one hand, and on the other hand, they may find it difficult to accept the surrender deep down in their hearts. They are very similar to modern people in some aspects, and they will have some inherent prejudices against others due to their own narrow ideas and understandings, such as age prejudice, gender prejudice, identity prejudice, family prejudice, and geographical Prejudice, ethnicity, appearance, culture, etc.

It is precisely because there are many external limiting factors that let us put various labels on other people or ourselves from the beginning. These labels can help us to quickly recognize and define others to a certain extent. Perhaps in most cases, this method of recognizing and defining others by labeling is effective, or the most efficient. After all, we cannot have so much time to understand everyone we see Everyone patiently understands.

Therefore, through labels such as a person's appearance, clothing, speech, identity, etc., you can quickly put this person in a position in your mind, whether it is important or not. The so-called first impression is probably everyone's quick impression. A relatively fixed impression label established by another person, and once this impression label is stamped, it is often difficult to change it.

And in many cases, even if we are not the way others know us, we will inadvertently be forced to wear masks that others put on us. Once these masks are worn, especially if they are worn long enough, they may be It's hard to be taken down again, maybe even that person himself can't remember what he really looks like.

So in fact, this is also quite a sad thing. We will always be limited by various identities and factors in the secular world. We may not be that kind of person, nor do we want to be that kind of person, but under some fixed identity arrangements However, we are powerless to change. When others put on a mask for us, we will also put on a corresponding mask for ourselves. We don’t seem to know how to resist all this, and we don’t know how to let ourselves be ourselves. The person you want to be, not the person someone else wants to be.

So in fact, there are two types of power in this world, one is the power to choose to do what you want to do, and the other is the power to choose not to do what you don’t want to do. In fact, many times people always care more about The former always wants to get more, but often ignores the latter. In fact, the latter is often the more important power and the prerequisite for a person to truly have freedom.

In the previous life, Xiang Yu actually lived in an identity cage constructed by himself and others for him throughout his life. In the end, he did become the most important person in the fight against Tyranny in the expectation of his uncle and other anti-Qin people. He has become the overlord of Western Chu, but in fact, that kind of life is just a kind of prison for him after all.

And when Xiang Yu in this life was reborn on this body, he also entered another cage that was made for him, but this cage was smaller than the cage in the previous life, and it would be in a greater degree. There are restrictions on Xiang Yu's soul, and Xiang Yu's ability to do what he wants to do, but if Xiang Yu's soul power is strong enough, he still has a chance to break through the shackles of this layer of flesh, but I don't know if he has realized it at this point.

Facing more and more generals and soldiers rushing towards him, Xiang Yu's eyes are already red-eyed, and sometimes he can't help but think about a question, if there is no war in this world, how can people kill people like him like hemp? How do you spend your life and what kind of work can you do?
Needless to say, Xiang Yu really thought about such a problem seriously. He thought that if he was born in an ordinary peasant family, then his strength, which is similar to that of a cow, would probably only be able to grow a few acres. It's just land, and there may be many kinds of food that may not be enough for myself.

Then there is labor and corvee. If he is just a commoner, then these cannot be avoided. He will be conscripted to build the Great Wall or dig canals, or he will be called to reclaim brand new land.

Or he will become an excellent hunter, relying on his superb personal martial arts and hunting skills, to go to the primeval forests to hunt some particularly dangerous and precious prey, and these prey can bring him money, wealth and Social status, will he be favored by the emperor or nobles to hunt for them?

Of course, it is also possible that such a powerful killing technique as his will eventually become a butcher who specializes in killing livestock for a living, or an executioner who kills for a living. It seems that as long as he has a strong enough body and the skills to use his body, then he There are many things that can be done, no matter what era you are in, you will not be starved to death.

However, these don't seem to be what Xiang Yu wants to do the most. Yes, these things are really nothing compared to fighting for world hegemony. However, for Xiang Yu, fighting for world hegemony may not be what he wants to do the most. No matter how he thinks, he can't figure out what he really wants to do most.

Sometimes there seems to be a very simple answer to all the questions, but when you think about it carefully, you will find that the simpler the answer, the more out of reach you are.

Being great is not out of reach for Xiang Yu, but sometimes it is the most difficult thing to let yourself be truly ordinary, because this world is so cruel, if you choose ordinary, you may lose control The ability to control your own destiny, if you lose the ability to control your own destiny, then why do you choose to be ordinary?

If you are faced with an extremely cruel and difficult situation, as an ordinary person, how should you protect yourself, if you protect your relatives, those you love and those who love you?

So you can only be forced to become strong and extraordinary, because truly ordinary people are not qualified to choose ordinary, but when you embark on a journey to become extraordinary, you will eventually lose the choice to become ordinary Opportunity, because once you set out on this path, there is no going back.

So you will find that there will never be an option in this world to truly make yourself an ordinary person. Fate will not favor you so much. Either you find a way to dominate fate and choke fate's throat, or you can only be choked by fate Your throat, all the strong people who tried to choose the ordinary path that seemed easy to go, eventually they were no longer strong, and they all lost to fate and themselves in the end.

We are deeply shackled by the body, so our soul will never be able to obtain real freedom. Xiang Yu, who lived and died once, has already understood this truth very deeply. After death, the soul seems to be free, but it can no longer change anything. true freedom can only start from giving up freedom!

At that moment, Xiang Yu roared in his heart, come on, whatever fate wants to impose on me, come on, he wants to get real freedom, he wants to get the chance to truly control his own destiny.
