Chapter 373 The swan song(1/3)
Chapter 373 The Master Sing
The songs of Chu are sad and moving.
For the soldiers who were exhausted from home and now had their exhausted Chu army, the song not only brought them endless homesickness, but also gave them a strong sense of war weariness. The originally high morale disappeared overnight.
"King, the Tang thieves were singing in Chu, and hundreds of people left the camp.
However, the Tang army did not stop them and allowed them to leave... If this continues, the men and women will be afraid that they will leave within a few days."
Sitting in the central army tent, Xiang Yu listened to Xiang Yuan's report, but remained indifferent.
He looked very tired and haggard.
No wonder Xiang Yu didn't know that the family business he had worked hard to manage was gone, and the boy around him was dispelled by Liu Kan's extremely simple means. How could he not be discouraged? At this moment, he began to feel regretful: If Fan Zeng was still there, he would definitely solve his problems.
Unfortunately, Fan Zeng is now missing and there is no news.
"Let them go. If such a situation is forced to stop them, they will be hostile, which is useless.
I think that the men followed the Gu Wang to fight thousands of miles, from Guangling to Julu, from Julu to Gaixia, but Gu Wang was not embarrassed by them."
Xiang Yuan hesitated for a moment and whispered: "King, the situation is not good now. I have a plan to escape from danger.
I have been secretly observing for two days and found that the Tang thieves did not investigate the departure of the soldiers. Why didn’t the king disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers, leaving here without knowing it? As long as I can return to Kuaiji, the king can still regroup, and it will be a big problem to step on the Central Plains in the future."
Xiang Yuan thought he was self-righteous for Xiang Yu, but he forgot about Xiang Yu's violent temperament.
When Xiang Yuan heard this, Xiang Yu was furious, grabbed the wine glass and smashed it out. Xiang Yuan could not dodge and was hit to the point of bleeding.
"A real man stands in the world, he does not change his name when he acts, nor changes his surname when he sits.
Since crossing the river, the Lonely King has been invincible. Even if he is in a downturn today, he cannot do such a thing. The Lonely King would rather die in battle than be ridiculed by the Liu thief... I miss you for a moment, and the Lonely King will not pursue it. Get out, don’t disturb the Lonely King’s drinking again.”
Xiang Yuan left the tent with shame.
"King, Xiang Yuan is also thinking about you. You have been scolding you like this a little bit."
Yu Ji poured a glass of wine for Xiang Yu and said softly: "I also know that the king is a hero of the world. It is not a solution to continue like this."
Xiang Yu was silent!
After a while, he whispered: "Ai Ji, Xiang Yuan said the method, I am disdainful to do it.
But if you stay in the camp, there will inevitably be unexpected results... It would be better to pretend to be an ordinary soldier, and the Lone King ordered Xiang Shou and others to protect him and escape from this place. After leaving this place, you will take Xiang Shou and the others to quickly cross the river, rush back to Kuaiji, and wait for the Lone King to return to meet."
Yu Ji's face suddenly turned pale.
How could she not hear that Xiang Yu wanted to break through forcibly, but was worried about her safety.
Can you really succeed if you force yourself to break through?
Yu Ji couldn't help but feel a little worried.
My own affairs are clear.
Yu Ji knew even more about the situation of the enemy Xiang Yu was facing.
"King..."
"Ai Ji, that's the decision. You make preparations quickly. The Lone King will go to Xiang Shou to cover you off."
Since childhood, Yu Ji also knew Xiang Yu's nature. She also knew that if she continued to stay, Xiang Yu would inevitably be distracted.
Can you leave Xiang Yu?
She doesn't want to.
Because Yu Ji didn't know whether Xiang Yu could successfully break through the siege.
Leave, or not?
Yu Ji was a little hesitant.
Sitting alone in the tent, looking at myself in the bronze mirror in front of me. Although I had passed that beautiful youth, my face was still beautiful and charming.
The past fifteen years are vivid in my mind.
Yu Ji didn't even know how she could withstand if Xiang Yu failed?
"Ai Ji, are you ready?"
Xiang Yu urged softly outside the tent, "Xiang Shou is ready. If you don't leave, it will be dawn!"
As he spoke, he stepped into the tent and saw that Yu Ji had not changed his clothes, and couldn't help but frown, "Ai Ji, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
"My king, I'm afraid, I'm not going to see the king again."
"Ai Ji, what are you saying?"
Xiang Yu was a little angry and shouted sternly: "Come on your clothes quickly and leave here with the soldiers before dawn.
When I arrived in Kuaiji, I waited for me to come back.
If..."
Xiang Yu didn't finish his words, and swallowed them back, "Don't be too verbally talking, change clothes quickly and leave here."
Although he didn't finish his words, how could Yu Ji not hear what he didn't say? What does it mean?
He smiled miserably, turned around, crawled on the ground, and whispered: "I'll change my clothes now, but please take care of the king."
Xiang Yu had a gloomy face and nodded.
Standing outside the tent, he raised his eyes to look up at the stars.
The stars are dotted, particularly charming.
Suddenly, infinite sadness arose in his heart, and Xiang Yu also knew that when he reached this point, his destruction and hegemony had become empty.
Although he said that he would cross the river and return to Kuaiji, and then regroup.
But can we really regroup?
Xiang Yu didn't know...
"Strive to drive the mountains and the spirit is vast!"
Xiang Yu suddenly roared to the sky, as if he wanted to use this roar to dispel all the sorrow and depression in his heart.
But in my heart, I became even more irritable and restless. The tyranny that had just been bulging disappeared suddenly and I sang softly: "The time is not good, and the horse will not pass away, but what can I do if I don't pass away..."
He turned around, looked at the hanging curtains, and murmured to himself: "Yu Xi, Yu Xi, what can you do with?"
At this moment, Xiang Yu did not think too much about himself, and he thought more about Yu Ji's future.
This person has followed him since he was a child, but in the end... If I can't break through the siege, Yu Yu, what should you do in the future?
clang!
A slight sound came from the small tent.
Xiang Yu suddenly felt a chill and an unknown premonition surged into his heart.
He took two steps at a time and rushed into the small tent. However, he saw Yu Ji lying in a pool of blood, wearing his favorite white palace outfit, covered with blood. A bright sword fell beside Yu Ji. Xiang Yu rushed over, then shouted Yu Ji's name loudly and hugged her in his arms. The sword that Yu Ji committed suicide was the male and female double sword made by the famous craftsman when he was in Juzhang.
The female sword is already covered in blood.
The heroic sword, in the sheath...
Yu Ji's beautiful face was filled with a smile.
She seemed to be comforting Xiang Yu in this way: King, don’t worry about me. I’m leaving, but I will be in heaven, bless you!
"Yu..."
Xiang Yu cried out sadly and hugged Yu Ji hard in his arms.
Two lines of hot tears flowed out of the tiger's eyes.
Another day passed, the Tang army's singing of Chu became louder and louder.
The total number of soldiers fled from the Chu army camp was three or four thousand.
And those Chu troops who remained in the camp were also fluctuating. No one could tell how long they could last. After all, facing the 200,000 Tang troops, the Chu army is no longer the Chu army that dared to be ten in Julu. The situation was hopeless, and everyone knew it... They were just waiting. When they couldn't hold on, they automatically chose to escape from this place quietly.
The singing sounded like a soft knife, which was a bit exhausting the morale of the Chu army.
Every moment, every moment, the soldiers of the Chu army were in panic.
The night sky once again shrouded the earth.
Xiang Yu was still sitting in the small tent, hugging the already stiff and cold body tightly. He had not entered the water for the whole day.
Suddenly, the silent camp boiled like a blow-out.
The shouts of killing awakened Xiang Yu from the confusion. He hugged Yu Ji's body and raised his head blankly.
"King, a big disaster, a big disaster!"
A young man rushed in from outside, about his early twenties and was burly and fierce.
He was not too tall, but very strong. As soon as he entered the tent, he shouted loudly: "The dog thief Xiangyuan actually surrendered to the Tang army."
Xiang Yuan surrendered?
To be continued...
