Competing

Chapter 590 Chapter [-] Farewell My Concubine
Besieged on all sides, this is what Zhang Liang thought of.

Zhang Liang knew very well that Han Xin didn't intentionally perfunctory Liu Bang's refusal to send troops, but he had some concerns. He was worried about the lethality brought about by the desperate counterattack of the Chu army.Han Xin didn't want to cause heavy losses to Qi, and he didn't want to die with Xiang Yu.This is completely understandable. It is impossible to rely on others to fight for you and use them as cannon fodder.

Therefore, if you want to persuade Han Xin to send troops, you must find a way to relieve his concerns, that is to say, there must be a way to prevent the Chu army from counterattacking before they die.

It is impossible to restrict the Chu army, or to manipulate Xiang Yu and the generals.At this time, the Chu army was already on the verge of collapse, but if Xiang Yu put all his eggs in one basket and mobilized it, with his influence and appeal among the Chu army, it was entirely possible to make the soldiers of the Chu army share the same hatred. It is entirely possible for the Han army to fight to the death and die together, and the risk is really great.

There is no solution. After Zhang Liang thought hard, he finally found a breakthrough, which was to completely disintegrate the morale of the soldiers of the Chu army!As long as the morale of the Chu army collapses, even if Xiang Yu has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, he will not be able to look up to the sky and sigh.

It's not difficult to do this, you don't need to touch your hands at all, you just need to use your mouth!

Therefore, in the last afternoon, the Allied Forces of Han, Qi and Liang did not launch an attack in time... Firstly, it was because of concerns, secondly, it was to prepare a gift for the Chu army; A troublesome thing, there must be an internship process, isn't it...

"Mr. Zifang, is this really effective?" Han Xin asked suspiciously, still having some doubts in his heart.Can you solve the problem just by singing?

Zhang Liang smiled softly and said: "The soldiers of the Chu army have not returned to their hometown for many years. They are in a desperate situation at this time. It is inevitable that they will be lonely and afraid, and miss their relatives. Using Chu songs to stir up the homesickness of the soldiers of the Chu State, they will lose all fighting spirit. Where is the mind to fight?"

"Really? Mr. Zifang really has a clever plan!" Han Xin also felt that it made some sense, and he really admired Zhang Liang.I had been thinking about it for a long time, and it seemed that I had to use military means to solve the problem. Zhang Liang just talked about it, and the difference was obvious.

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "It must be that the camp of the Chu army is already in chaos. See, the Chu army will be in chaos at dawn, and they will no longer be able to prevent an effective attack. At that time, they will be lambs waiting to be slaughtered. How about King Qi come forward to deal with this situation?"

"Okay..." The biggest problem has been solved, how could Han Xin refuse...

Both Zhang Liang and Han Xin had faint smiles on their faces. Once this matter is settled, the rest can be dealt with by Liu Bang!
..............................................................................

Loud and clear singing sounded outside the camp of the Chu army, all of which were folk songs from the Chu region...

The generals and soldiers of the Chu Army heard it clearly, and their moods also changed subtly.Many of them came from Jiangdong, especially many middle and low-level officers in the Chu army were the eight thousand children of Jiangdong in the past...

They have been away from their hometown for many years, and they miss their hometown in Chudi especially.It was said before that it was peace talks with the Han Kingdom, and they attacked the Yue Kingdom and recovered Jiangdong. They were all excited and their morale was high!

Gain had a voice in his heart: finally going home!

It's a pity that their dreams were shattered, so Han Wang Liu Bang broke his promise, and the sudden attack of the Han army forced them to continue to fight hard with the Han army.Going home seemed out of reach, leaving a striking scar in their hearts...

It would be fine if that was the case, but in the face of the continuous pursuit of the Han King's coalition forces, the Chu army retreated steadily, and even reached a desperate situation.Many of them have heard that Huainan has been occupied by the Yue Kingdom, and there is no way out, and the banks of the Huai River are their final destination.

Not only is there no hope of returning home, but even life will end here, there is a lot of helplessness in anyone's heart!

Many soldiers of the Chu army were full of unwillingness, but they were helpless. The general situation could not be changed by these small soldiers...

The fact is that they are so helpless, they have already chosen to accept their fate, and someone mentioned that the Bawang will lead them to fight the Han army together.

They didn't have the slightest fear of this, anyway, the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to be afraid of.

But at this time, the folk songs of Chudi suddenly came to mind outside the barracks...

Chu Ge brought back the homesickness that they had settled down or didn't want to think about at all...

I miss my hometown, my relatives in my hometown, but unfortunately I will never go back...

Surrounded by soldiers of the Han army, the siege was impenetrable, there was no way out, only a dead end...

Not being able to return to one’s hometown, but having to die as a foreigner, are quite tragic things…

In a desperate situation, people's feelings will be quite fragile. Once this homesickness is opened, it will spread infinitely like a flood that bursts the embankment...

Ugh!
The bursts of Chu singing broke the hearts of the soldiers of the Chu army, making their already stable hearts no longer stable, and they were in a panic...

As for the determination and confidence to fight to the death, all were shattered, and morale was completely gone...

…………………………………………………………………………

In the big tent of the Chinese army, after Xiang Yu heard the bursts of Chu Ge, his face turned blue and white suddenly, it was extremely ugly!
Besieged on all sides, has the Han army already controlled all of Chu?How come there are so many Chu people?
But in an instant, Xiang Yu understood that not all Chu people sang Chu songs.Besides, Jiangdong and Huainan, the veritable lands of Chu, have been occupied by the Yue State, and Liu Bang has no chance to get involved...

The only explanation is that this is Liu Bang's treacherous scheme, a scheme to attack the heart...

I just planned to lead the whole army to make a final fight, fight to the death with the Han army, and even die together...

Before the order was delivered and the mobilization of the whole army had not yet started, the song of Chu sounded.

Xiang Yu is very clear about what this singing means and what effect it will have. He deeply knows how homesick his soldiers are...

They have followed him to leave Jiangdong for many years, but unfortunately they have not been able to go back, and the feeling of homesickness is extremely strong...

At this moment, when their homesickness is aroused, the soldiers are afraid that they are already in tears, how can they still think about fighting...

The morale of the army has been messed up and morale is gone...

At the same time, I also feel very guilty in my heart. I took them across the river and went north, but I couldn't let them return to their hometown in glory...

I want them to accompany me to face such a desperate situation...

Xiang Yu now understands why the Han army did not launch an attack immediately, the reason could not be more clear.

The Han army was also worried that they would fight back desperately, so they came up with such a solution.Simple, non-proven...

When it comes to military strategy, attacking the heart is the top priority, high, really high!I don't know if it was Zhang Liang's or Han Xin's strategy. In short, I lost...

All in all, it is impossible to organize another force to fight the Han army to the death.There was already a deep cry in the barracks, which shows how sad the soldiers are?What's more, they have already started howling crazily... An indisputable fact is before them, the Western Chu Kingdom is completely over, and their own lives are about to enter the countdown...

Xiang Yu glanced at the generals standing below, and sighed softly, with too many complicated emotions in his heart...

"You all go back!" Xiang Yu waved his hands lightly, and sighed: "It is impossible to send troops to fight back. The Western Chu Kingdom is completely finished. You go, no matter where you go, go find a way out!"

At this point, Xiang Yu is still very sympathetic to the soldiers under his command. These are loyal generals who have fought with him for many years. There is no need to let them die with him in vain...

Being able to say these words is enough to show how desperate Xiang Yu has become.I've already felt sorry for them once, so naturally there can't be a second time...

But after blocking Xiang Yu's words, the generals of the Chu army remained motionless, as if they hadn't heard...

"What?" After being silent for a long time, Xiang Yu realized this strange phenomenon, and looked at the generals in front of him who looked like clay sculptures and wood carvings in surprise, feeling a little puzzled.

"Overlord, the minister (the last general) is willing to follow the Overlord, and live and die together!"

The generals' answers seemed to be spoken in unison, very resounding...

Most of these Chu army generals are loyal to Xiang Yu, such as Yu Ziqi, such as Xiang Zhuang, they are impassioned, and they have regarded death as home.

Of course, there are some wavering people among them, but in a group, the group effect is inevitable.

Some people turned their eyes around with seemingly death-defying eyes, or looked at other people from the corner of their eyes.In fact, they might not be willing to die with Xiang Yu, but in this case, no one dared to move when no one moved.

After all, no one wants to bear the notoriety of being cowardly and fearful of the enemy, not to mention Xiang Yu's mood is surprisingly unpredictable, if he is offended, it is not worth losing a life in vain.I'm dealing with it here now, and I can think of another way after I get out...

well!Many people were "kidnapped" into the ranks of death...

Even so, Xiang Yu was still full of relief in his heart, no matter what, having such a group of generals who are loyal to him, who never give up, is not considered a waste of life...

But thinking about the original matter, my heart is a little more sad and sentimental!
A good Western Chu country, with its strong national strength, its warlike generals, and its loyal subjects, was brought down by himself to the point of subjugation.Thinking of those heroic spirits who died fighting for the Western Chu Kingdom, his uncle Xiang Liang, his father Fan Zeng, Long Qie and Huan Chu, Xiang Yu felt guilty...

Xiang Yu's heart was extremely heavy, to the extreme...

………………………………………………………………………

Outside the Chu army's barracks, a few powerful figures passed by, and after hearing the resounding Chu song, they all stopped in astonishment!

"At this point, Chu Jun still has the heart to sing?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's to boost morale..."

"No, this song didn't come from the Chu army's camp, it seems to surround the entire camp?"

A look of astonishment appeared on the faces of several people...

"It's the Han army singing Chu songs..." After some investigation, they figured out the specific situation.

"Your Majesty and the General have ordered you to reply immediately if there is any abnormality."

"Let's go, let's go back immediately..."

These people are the spies of Yue Guofeiying, who came to investigate the news under the orders of Yin Xu and Zhang Han.

The camp of the Chu Army was already approaching the Huai River, and the Yue Kingdom's front-line command post was on the south bank of the Huai River. The news came back soon.

Besieged?Yin Xu's heart moved. Although the history of Wujiang's suicide has changed, the besieged situation is still happening.

Presumably this is Zhang Liang and Han Xin's strategy, a wonderful strategy to attack the mind.

Zhang Han praised: "Zhang Liang and Han Xin are indeed powerful. Such a strategy will completely destroy the confidence of the Chu army, and defeat is inevitable."

"Well!" Yin Xu knew all this in his heart, so he was naturally not surprised at all, and said leisurely: "According to this progress, the Chu army will be defeated at dawn, and Xiang Yu's love will come to an end..."

"That's right, the morale of the Chu army has been shattered, and the army's morale has been shattered... There is no combat power at all. It is impossible to organize an effective resistance in such a short period of time. Liu Bang and Han Xin will not give Xiang Yu a chance..."

"Well, I want to go to Huaibei tomorrow to see Xiang Yu off for the last time!" Yin Xu thought for a while and made such a decision.

Zhang Han couldn't help worrying: "Your Majesty, there are 70 allied troops of the Han Kingdom north of the Huai River, and I'm afraid it's a little dangerous..."

"It doesn't matter. What's so scary with the general and the few guards by your side? We just need to wait on the bank of the Huai River. We are the only ones with ships in the Huai River!" Yin Xu was full of confidence. Don't worry about it either.

Having said that, the pressure in Zhang Han's heart is still much greater. After dawn, he must protect the safety of King Yue.

With a thought in his mind, Yin Xu said silently: Presumably Xiang Yu is saying goodbye to Concubine Yu at this moment...

..............................................................................

The Chu army barracks was already gloomy and chaotic, and soldiers had begun to flee.Besieged on all sides, their confidence has been completely shattered, and many people are no longer willing to stay here, they want to go home.

Xiang Yu and their generals have no control, or they have no way to control it, they can only let the situation continue to develop and continue to deteriorate...

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiang Yu was sitting on the main seat, and he couldn't help crying.

Who said that men don't flick their tears easily, even a tough man like Xiang Yu will cry sometimes...

After the generals saw the Overlord crying, their hearts were moved and they also cried. They all lowered their heads and no one dared to look up at the Overlord...

Queen Yu Ji appeared at the door at some point. After the generals saw it, they understood and all retreated. At this time, it is necessary to give the Overlord and the Queen some time to spend alone, or at least leave some time to say goodbye...

..............................................................................

"Overlord!" Seeing Xiang Yu's appearance, Yu Ji felt sore in her heart, and choked up as soon as she opened her mouth...

"Yu Ji!" Xiang Yu raised his head and glanced at the woman he loved, with tears still streaming down his face.

"Overlord!" Yu Ziqi stepped forward and threw himself into Xiang Yu's arms, she already knew exactly what happened.She doesn't have much fear of death, and she is satisfied with being dependent on Xiang Yu for life and death.

Xiang Yu stretched out his hand to hold Yu Ji in his arms, with a heavy heart, he choked up and said, "Yu Ji, I'm sorry..."

"No, the Overlord has never been sorry to Concubine Yu..." Concubine Yu shook her head firmly.

Xiang Yu sighed: "This is the end of the matter, there is no way out..."

"There is no way out, after dawn..." Xiang Yu didn't know how to continue.

Concubine Yu buried her head in Xiang Yu's arms and said, "Overlord, Concubine Yu is willing to live and die with you..."

Xiang Yu's heart skipped a beat, the woman he loves wants to live and die with him, so what can a husband ask for?
"No!" Xiang Yu shook his head lightly and said, "No, Concubine Yu, you have to live well!"

"No, if the Overlord is gone, how can Yu Ji live alone?" Yu Ji sat up suddenly, her eyes were extremely determined.

Xiang Yu smiled wryly: "No, there is Long'er, I want to live for our Long'er..."

Yu Ji's heart suddenly trembled, yes!There is also the child Xiang Long, who is less than two years old now, they can all die, but how can a parent be cruel to let an innocent child die?

"But the overlord is gone, how can we orphans and widows have a place to stand?" Yu Ji asked a very realistic question.

Xiang Yu said silently: "I've already made up my mind. I will send you to Huainan and Jiangdong, and ask Yin Xu to take care of you. I believe he will agree."

"Would it be? The crown prince of the subjugated country will live under the fence..." Yu Ji was full of worries.

Xiang Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no other way, this is the only way, at least we can let Long'er live well and let him grow up..."

The two lines of tears on Yu Ji's pretty face suddenly slipped down, and she felt extremely sad...

Xiang Yu held his beloved wife tightly in his arms and said, "Live well for our Long'er!"

Yu Ji's eyes were blurred, and she nodded lightly after a long time, but she had already made up her mind.

The morning star has risen in the eastern sky, and it is almost dawn.Xiang Yu said softly: "Yu Ji, I want to watch you dance again..."

Xiang Yu picked up the xun and put it to his mouth, the melodious music sounded, and Yu Ji got up and danced lightly with her mouth in her mouth, the last dance for the Overlord...

Playing xun and singing and dancing, I think they were so passionately in love back then, and they were in love with each other.Such a scene contains their best memories, in the graceful dance, it seems to return to the good time back then...

Yu Ji's dancing was exceptionally beautiful today, she was dancing with all her strength and heart.This is the last dance for the man I love, and I will never see him again.The tears on Yu Ji's face dried up, she showed a slight smile, and after a while she burst into tears again, Xiang Yu's xun had stopped at some point, but Yu Ji's graceful dance still didn't stop...

With tears in his eyes, Xiang Yu chanted slowly: "Strengthen the mountain and the world is overwhelmed, and the time is not good. The time is not dying. The time is not dying. What is the time! What is the time!"
