Gratitude and hatred.

Just like a pair of twin brothers, when you are grateful, perhaps hatred may have grown in your heart. This is the description of Xunzi's theory of "human nature is evil". Now, Xiang Yu's change in attitude towards Li Yuan is derived from the malice hidden in his character. When the people around him compare Li Yuan with him again and again, the Libra in Xiang Yu's heart is also tilting day by day.

In Sima Gong's historical record, Xiang Yu's personality advantages and disadvantages were presented to the greatest extent. His bravery and good at fighting against the world are invincible, and his pride and frivolity are speechless. Even the desperate battle song he sang when he and Yu Ji were surrounded at Gaixia, it also revealed a strong sense of blaming others.

"The strength is to pull the mountain and the spirit is vast. The time is not good, and the horse will not pass away. What can you do if the horse will not pass away! Yu Xi and Yu Xi do what you do!" In addition to praising his unparalleled martial arts, Xiang Yu was not praising his shortcomings, but that God would not help. At the same time, he also asked Yu Ji desperately what to do now?

When life and death are at the critical moment, Xiang Yu is like a doting big child. Faced with sudden changes, he has no idea what to do. In comparison, Liu Bang is much more decisive. When he should push his children away from escaping, he will never be ruthless. When he should leave his subordinates to escape, he will turn around and run away after sprinkling a few drops of blood from crocodile. As a king, if he doesn't even have this little judgment, he will not be able to win the world even if he is ten times brave.

Heroes also have shortcomings.

There is no doubt that Xiang Yu is not a perfect person or a saint. The love that has been sung with Yu Ji for 2,000 years is actually the last elegy between a down-and-out king and a concubine.

When Xiang Yu was in power, Yu Ji was definitely not his only woman, otherwise Yu Ji would not have only a surname and never left his name. However, when Xiang Yu was in a downturn, Yu Ji was the only woman by his side. This is the cruel truth of the love myth of Farewell My Concubine.

In fact, the reason why Xiang Yu is so popular is mainly because he is a tragic hero. According to the Japanese evaluation standards for heroic abilities, heroes who die prematurely will automatically add a level of ability value. This is the so-called argument that "all those who die prematurely are invincible."

At the same time, those who hold this argument will automatically add it, if XXX is still there, what will happen? What will happen if XXX does not neglect and die carelessly? This argument that gives people infinite imagination gives space for imagination to latecomers who cannot personally visit history.

The smoke of the Chu-Han War was suspected to have gone away, and with Li Yuan's sudden rise, it became unrecognizable. Liu Bang was defeated by the Zhang River. Lu Zhi and others, who represented the remnants of the Han Dynasty, also disappeared into the mountains of Shennongjia.

What is now in front of Chu is Qin, a towering mountain. They either surrender to the foot of the mountain and become one of the many small hills around them, or simply fight for the big ones with small points. While the foundation of Qin was still unstable, they fought hard and rushed into it with all their might.

The Chu war machine rumbled to start.

In the face of Xiang Yu's strength and stubbornness, no one dared to say anything. Zhonglimei, Ji Bu and other military generals sighed and sighed. They had already said what they should say. How to go to the road of Chu? After all, it was not something that outsiders could control; as for Xiang Tuo, the Chu State of Xiang, the Grand Sima Xiang Sheng, and the vicious general Xiang Zhuang, they expressed firm support for Xiang Yu's decision.

If the Xiang family wants to obtain greater benefits, it is impossible to rely solely on the seven almost exhausted counties. If you tap the potential within the country, it is okay to deceive children. When the important officials of each county are all children of the Xiang family, no one knows the true situation of the Chu State better than Xiang Tuo and others.

"Occupy Wei State, seize Daliang, and Zhang I, the Great Chu!" The Chu army, who had returned from Jiangdong, concluded again less than a month after returning. After a brief rest, the morale of these Chu soldiers was even lower. The reason was that the situation they saw after returning home was gradually shattered.

The sequelae of high taxes are spreading across the State of Chu. Those families who lack the right-age labor force at home have fallen behind in this survival competition. Among these incomplete families, a considerable number of strong labor force members participated in the Chu army, but they were not very lucky and were unable to come back alive.

"We are going to go to war again. I wonder if we can come back this time?" In such a sacred environment, every Chu soldiers who left their hometown had almost no idea of ​​making achievements and shining the family.

Go home safely.

Using your own weak arms to protect the safety of the whole family is the most important choice for a man. On the contrary, the righteousness of the country and the title of kings and marquis have become no longer important.

This is true for the pawn.

The backbone generals of the Chu army, Xiang Jibu, Ding Gong, Xue and others were actually not keen on the conquest of Wei.

This is mainly because their current situation is not up or down. If they want to rise further, they will inevitably threaten the interests of officials of the Xiang group. If they want to maintain their current position, as long as there is no big mistake, the Xiang family will basically not kill these old people who have followed Xiang Yu for many years of war.

After all, the friendship between working together is there. If the power and position of the foreign system are completely deprived of, the Chu army will truly become the private army of the Xiang family. In that case, this army will be no different from the private guests of the four great princes during the Warring States Period.

After the Jiangdong battle, Xiang Zhuang has firmly settled the position of the top position in the Chu army. In addition to him, Xiang Han's military status has also been rapidly improved because of his contribution to suppressing Kuaiji County.

Chen County.

This famous place where Chen Wangsheng rose up back then fell silent with Chen Sheng's defeat. Near Daze Township, a Chu army of more than 2,000 people was moving slowly. Judging from the load on the vehicles they carried, this was a team serving as supplies. The direction of the baggage team was moving in the north of Chen County, at the border with the Wei State, where the Chu army was gathering on a large scale and urgently needed supplies such as supplies, grain and fodder.

However, what is strange is that the surnames of the generals with the character "Ji" embroidered on the central army of this Chu army were respectively embroidered with the character "Ji". Among the Chu army, there was only one general with the surname Ji, that was the former Five Tiger General: Ji Bu.

When did Ji Bu fall into a place where people do things?

You should know that among the Chu generals and the five tiger generals, although Zhonglimei returned, there are only two who are still alive. Yu Ziqi is good at logistics, and his command and combat capabilities are obviously weaker. In this case, Ji Bu is still not allowed to be reused, which shows that Xiang Yu's trust in him no longer exists.

In addition, although Chen County belongs to the State of Chu, it is not the core area of ​​the State of Chu. This is the core area of ​​the Chen Sheng and Zhang Chu regime in the past. After Chen Sheng was destroyed, Lu Chen's Cangtou Army commander was stationed here. This force is currently stationed in Pengcheng, while Ji Bu was sent to Chen County. It has to be said that the Xiang family has also frequently acted in differentiating external forces.

It is absolutely necessary to not allow any force that threatens the fundamentals of the Xiang family to appear. This is the most important part of Xiang Tuo's governance. It is also under this guiding ideology that the Xiang family survived the challenges of emerging forces such as Kuai Che, Shusun Tong, and foreign relatives such as Yu Ziqi. Now, in the Chu State, only Xiang and Chu have decided to do so.

Ji Bu was sent to Chen County and was basically marginalized. His uncle Ding Gong was the same fate as Ji Bu. This Chu general who played an important role in the Chu-Han War has been very unsatisfactory recently.

"Abu, this time he went to fight against Wei, the overlord seemed to be not going to send us to fight, which was cheaper for that boy Xiangzhuang." In the queue, the Chu general Ding Gong, who was riding a crossbow horse, was indignant and looked ashamed and angry. Before the conquest of Wei, Ding Gong was assigned a task, and this was assigned to the escort of the baggage, which made Ding Gong, who had always considered himself a famous general of the Chu army, swallow this breath.

"Uncle, why haven't you understood that the Chu State is no longer the original Chu State. Similarly, the overlord is not the overlord who crosses the river and fights with the Qin people." Ji Bu, who was riding side by side with his side, looked lonely and said helplessly.

"Abu, what are you going to do next? You can't be demoted again and again. In the end, even the general can't be done, right?" Ding Gong thought for a while and asked again.

"Uncle, my brother Xin has written to me. He has become a captain in Qin State and has three thousand troops led by him. This is much better than you and me." Ji Bu smiled bitterly and answered the question. When he talked about Ji Xin, Ji Bu showed some relief on his face. At the beginning, Ji Xin was captured by the Qin army, and he was still worried about Ji Xin's safety, but he did not expect that Ji Xin had made a world in Qin State after only a few years.

"Abu, if Xiang Yu insists on not using us, why don't we go to Qin? If Axin is there to introduce him, maybe we will be valued by Qin." Mr. Ding's eyes lit up and he said anxiously.

"Uncle, please speak softly. There is Xiang Sheng around us. Xiang Han's troops are monitoring him. If they know A Xin's identity in Qin, this baggage battalion would probably not need you or me to take it." Ji Bu said with a wry smile.

to be honest.

When the Chu State got so close, Ji Bu's heart began to become cold. This time, Ji Xin's identity might be exposed, which made Xiang Yu, Xiang Tuo and others more wary of him.

Xiang Yu was very suspicious.

Ji Bu knew this, so he had been hiding the news that Ji Xin had served in the Qin army, but he did not expect that Xiang Yu would be so distrustful of his subordinates and old brothers. In fact, the matter of brothers being their own masters was very common during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period. Even if he was told to the world, Ji Bu had nothing to avoid. As a general in the Chu army, Ji Bu relied on his real skills, not anything else.
