A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 136 Farewell My Concubine
The Han army had been besieging the Chu army for a month.

Because of Xiang Yu's past achievements, Liu Bang was a little anxious and feared that things would change over time, so he came to Han Xin to ask for strategies.

Han Xin said: "The Overlord is a person who values ​​feelings. For him, as long as it is someone he recognizes, he is willing to pay for it. And what he values ​​most is his relatives and brothers.

Now most of his relatives and brothers are in the barrier. We have no way, but he still has some tribesmen in Jiangdong. If the king lets the Chu people in the army sing Chu songs continuously at night, the Chu soldiers will definitely think that we are The land of Jiangdong has been captured.

In order to go home in this way, their resistance will not be very fierce. After hearing this, the Overlord will definitely be very worried about his Xiang clan members in Jiangdong. They will definitely want to return to Jiangdong eagerly. When the time comes, we must pass by. If there is a heavy ambush on the road, Xiang Yu will be captured. "

Liu Bang thought it was feasible, so he summoned the Chu people in the Han army and asked them to sing Chu songs around the Chu army's fortress, in order to weaken the Chu army's resistance.

That night
Xiang Yu was drinking alone, and his favorite concubine Yu Ji was singing and dancing for him in the hall. The sharp sword danced in Yu Ji's hand, which made people watch intently.

How he wanted to leave everything behind, just like this, let time stand still, stay in this moment forever, wine, and love.

But no, because he is Xiang Yu, and he still bears the lives of tens of thousands of brothers, the mission of the Xiang family, and the expectations of Jiangdong's elders. He could only squeeze out some time to relax here for a while.

While Xiang Yu was immersed in Yu Ji's singing and dancing, another song came to his ears. When he listened carefully, it seemed to be a song from the state of Chu.

He immediately stepped out of the military tent, listened to the songs outside, and thought to himself: I haven't heard it for a long time! It has been six years since I followed my uncle across the Wujiang River, and Chu tunes still sound so good!
He asked the sergeant next to him: "Who in the army is singing?"

The sergeant was also from Chu and was immersed in the song of Chu. When Xiang Yu asked, he immediately came to his senses and replied respectfully: "What I'm reporting back to the king is not from the army, but from the Han army outside the camp." !”

Xiang Yu was shocked and said: "What? Han camp? Why are there so many Chu people in the Han camp? Have they already captured Jiangdong?"

The sergeant also reacted and his face turned pale. He thought of his parents at home and burst into tears.

When Xiang Yu saw this, he did not blame him. Instead, he summoned the generals to patrol together. He found that most of the soldiers were infected by the songs and began to talk about the beautiful scenery and delicious food in their hometown. Although the atmosphere was quite warm, Xiang Yu knew that something was wrong.

When a person has concerns, he will definitely not be willing to die, and his morale will collapse.

Xiang Yu returned to the military tent in despair. Yu Ji still didn't know why. After asking, she learned that she was also in tears. After venting for a while, Yu Ji said to Xiang Yu: "Your Majesty! You must return to Jiangdong. As long as you return to Jiangdong, , with the support of Jiangdong elders, you will definitely make a comeback."

Xiang Yu cheered up and said, "Yes, I can't give up yet. I will definitely take you and the children of Jiangdong back."

Yu Ji looked at Xiang Yu and said, "The king does not need to bring a concubine. I am a weak woman who only knows how to dance the sword and play the piano. Bringing a concubine will only drag the king down!"

After Xiang Yu heard this, he grabbed Yu Ji's hand and said, "What are you talking about? What kind of person am I? Even if I take you with me, I will definitely break out of the siege!"

Yu Ji looked at the determination in Xiang Yu's eyes and knew that it would be useless to talk more, but the fact was that bringing herself along would definitely hinder Xiang Yu's performance, and she might not be able to successfully break through because of herself.

Yu Ji smiled like plum blossoms blooming in winter, and said to Xiang Yu: "Let me dance for the king again!"

Xiang Yu also smiled, thinking that Yu Ji agreed, so he let go of Yu Ji and said: "Okay! I like to watch your dance the most. I just hate that I am still a mortal. If I have the ability to pick up the stars and the moon, I will definitely pick it up." The stars will decorate you, and the Milky Way will be a shawl for you!"

Yu Ji listened to Xiang Yu's heartfelt words and smiled even more happily. She came to the hall and continued to show off the softness of the female body and the superb skills of dancing.

Xiang Yu laughed as Yu Ji danced from slow to fast.

General, dancing girl, sword, candlelight.

Yu Jiwu arrived in front of Xiang Yu, leaned down, touched Xiang Yu's sharp cheek with her gentle jade hands, and touched Xiang Yu's mouth with a touch of red lips. Xiang Yu closed his eyes with the wine glass and enjoyed this moment.

"bass!"

Yu Ji suddenly pulled out the sword from Xiang Yu's waist, and jumped into the hall. Xiang Yu subconsciously reached out to grab it, but missed. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yu Ji holding the sword in both hands, horizontally across her neck.

"Yu Ji, what are you doing? Put it down!"

Xiang Yu stood up quickly, took two steps forward, and shouted urgently, but stopped again and did not dare to step forward.

Because Xiang Yu took a step forward, Yu Ji exerted a little force, so that Xiang Yu did not dare to move at all, and just froze in place.

"Your Majesty! Don't come forward. I'm already determined to die. I hope your Majesty will fulfill my wish."

Xiang Yu said with tears in his eyes: "Why is this so?" Yu Ji said with a smile and tears: "I am just like a willow tree. I have neither sword skills nor poetry. Fortunately, the king did not abandon me and took me as my wife." There is a bright moon in the sky and beautiful clams in the water. What a blessing!
I met the king Jiangdong. When I first met the king, I knew that the king was a great hero, so I did not dare to cling to him at will, for fear of dragging the king down, and even falling into the ambition of the king. However, the king did not treat his concubine as willful, but treated her very affectionately, and was not obsessed with old things. Therefore, he traveled all the way to the city and countryside, crossed the Wujiang River, and reached Pengcheng in pursuit of the king.

In these troubled times, it is extremely difficult for a woman to survive. However, I am fortunate to be protected by the king. No matter where he goes, the king will take my body with him. I know that the king is only afraid that I will not be protected by anyone and will die thousands of miles away.

Now that the king is on the verge of life and death, how can I bear to see the king trapped in the military formation because of me? I heard that Liu Ji was lustful and greedy for money. I was afraid that if I kept this body, I would lose the reputation of the king, so I sought death. I hope that the king can return to Jiangdong smoothly. This is Yu Ji's wish. She hopes to dance with the king again in the next life. Don't linger here. King! Yu Ji is leaving! "

After speaking, she pulled her hands and blood spurted out. Yu Ji lost her strength and collapsed to the ground. The blood continued to flow and formed a circle around Yu Ji. This was a memorial to the loss of a life!
Xiang Yu froze in place for a long time without moving. His eyes, which used to be extremely sharp and gleaming, now seemed to have lost their souls, without any color at all.

After a while, Xiang Yu pulled his mind away from the memories with Yu Ji, walked slowly to Yu Ji, remained silent, bent down and picked her up, and walked towards the outside of the tent. Yu Ji's hands dropped weakly, and then It kept shaking as Xiang Yu moved around.

The sergeants outside the tent bowed their heads and remained silent when they saw Xiang Yu walking out with Yu Ji in his arms.

Xiang Yu ignored all this, came to the military tent, dug a big pit himself, and buried Yu Ji in it without erecting a monument. He wanted to insert his sword in it, but thought that Yu Ji's blood had been integrated into the sword, and he caressed it. He picked up the sword, put it back into its scabbard, and then inserted the sword that Yu Ji often used in the past in front of the tomb as a tombstone.

Back at the military tent, Xiang Yu just looked at the blood in the hall quietly without saying a word.

After a while, Xiang Yu called the sergeant outside the tent and asked him to summon the generals to discuss matters.

Xiang Yu sat high on the throne, closed his eyes and remained silent. The other generals of Chu also learned that Xiang Yu's favorite beauty had committed suicide, but they did not dare to speak. The place was very quiet.

Xiang Yu opened his eyes, and his first words were: "I have decided to break out of the encirclement!"

There was no objection from the generals, so Xiang Yu added: "I will only lead the cavalry to break through! All the infantry will stay on the wall!"

The generals were in an uproar, and someone asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with the soldiers left behind?"

Xiang Yu said: "In the early hours of tonight, I will summon the remaining 800 cavalry from the camp to break out of the siege and head towards Wujiang River. As for the remaining generals, I allow you to surrender, but you will have to wait until I leave. You only need to resist for two hours before you surrender to Liu Ji, and I will not blame you!"

The generals were silent. At this moment, Zhong Limei said, "What are you planning to take with you, your Majesty?"

Xiang Yu looked around at the generals. They all hoped that he would be chosen. Xiang Yu said, "Zhong Limei, you stay. I want you to lead all the soldiers to surrender smoothly and ensure their lives. If you don't believe Liu Ji, you can ask Bai Bai." Your surrender is guaranteed by the Bai family's reputation, and Bai Qing will never harm you."

Zhong Limei had no choice but to say yes, and Xiang Yu added: "First of all, the five hundred cavalrymen who follow me must go with me. Secondly, those who live in Jiangdong and are descendants of the Xiang family can give priority to leave with me." , you go down and prepare! In the early morning, gather in front of my tent."

"Order!"

In the early morning, the sky was bright, but the moon was not hidden yet.

Xiang Yu turned over Wu Zhui, took the big gun handed over by Zhong Limei and said: "The soldiers are all handed over to you, don't let me down!"

Zhong Limei saluted and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

Xiang Yu drove his horse to the front of the eight hundred cavalry, looked at each of them, and said nothing more, just said to them: "Follow me back to Jiangdong!"

The knights shouted: "Go back to Jiangdong!"

"Zhizhizhi!" The long-closed gate of the Chu army's fortress opened.

Xiang Yu led a group of knights out at a high speed, and soon rushed to a Han army camp.

"Ding ding ding!" "The Chu army has come out of the camp!" "The Chu army has come out of the camp!"

Although the Han army discovered it in advance, the Chu army's cavalry with Xiang Yu was overwhelming.

Xiang Yu led the cavalry through the layers of Han military camps, and soon broke through the last layer of military camps.

At this time, there were still 700 cavalry left behind him. Xiang Yu did not stop and galloped towards the southeast.

Liu Bang knew that Xiang Yu was the only one in the Chu army who could break out of the Han army's densely arrayed camp with hundreds of cavalry, so he ordered Bai Wei to lead his army to pursue him. However, Bai Wei shied away and said that Xiang Yu had attacked Xiang Yu last time. The injury was still not healed, so Liu Bang had no choice but to let Guan Ying lead 5,000 elite cavalry to pursue him, while he led the army to storm the Gaixia barrier.
