kill!
Shouts and cries of killing rang out along the Wujiang River.
Lin Han, who was fishing at the Wujiang River ferry, turned to look towards the source of the fighting sounds. Yu Ji, who was standing beside him, also looked towards the source of the fighting sounds with concern.
After a long time, a figure was finally seen in the distance at the ferry. A charcoal-black horse was seen coming from a distance.
Seeing the horse, Yu Ji was overjoyed.
He recognized the horse; it was Wuzhui, the king had ridden with her many times before, so she was very familiar with it. Then he looked at the man on the horse; it was none other than the Overlord he had longed for.
In just a moment, Yu Ji burst into tears. If Lin Han had not been there, she would have run away.
The black horse reached the river bank and had no way to go any further.
Xiang Yu dismounted, looked at the Wujiang River in the distance, and then looked back at the battlefield not far away, feeling dejected and lonely.
There is no way forward and there are pursuers behind.
The road is blocked.
Jiangdong is just across the river. As long as he crosses the river, Liu Bang's siege on him will be lifted.
"Overlord, do you need a ferry?" Lin Han brought Yu Ji over and asked.
He could clearly see the surprise in Xiang Yu's expression, as if he couldn't believe that Lin Han was waiting for him here.
Lin Han was not surprised by this.
"There is only this one boat in the vast river. If we cross the river to the east, the siege of the Han army can be lifted." Lin Han said, pointing to the boat on the ferry.
"In the past, I led 8,000 young men from Jiangdong across the river to the west. Now no one has returned. How can I face the elders of Jiangdong?" Looking at Jiangdong, Xiang Yu's face was full of guilt.
He couldn't blame God at this time, because Lin Han had already told him that his defeat was due to his own stubbornness, not God's will.
Now it's a dead end.
"You really can't handle failure. You're right. Your life has been too smooth, you've never failed. And now, after just one failure, you've fallen so low."
Lin Han spoke out, mocking without any hesitation.
"You only dare to enjoy the fruits of victory, but lack the courage to face failure. The Overlord is no more than that. Liu Bang's victory over you was not a fluke. At least when faced with failure and humiliation, Liu Bang could endure it, while you could not. The ability to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens is inherited by the descendants of the Liu family."
Xiang Yu was silent.
Once upon a time, no one in the world dared to criticize him like this.
But Lin Han in front of him is qualified.
Because he did not use Lin Han's advice twice, which led to such a crushing defeat, he had no reason to refute Lin Han. At this moment, he had no soldiers around him and his status was like a stray dog, even worse than Lin Han.
"The Han army is about to catch up with us. If you cross the river, you will still have a chance to make a comeback. If you don't cross the river, you will die here." Lin Han said, pointing to the opposite side of the river.
"I am ashamed of the people of Jiangdong." Xiang Yu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
The rugged man, the unrivaled overlord, burst into tears at this moment.
"Sir, Wuzhui has fought with me for many years, and now I have nowhere to go. I have heard that Liu Bang offered a reward of a thousand gold and ten thousand households for my head. You should take my head and give it to Liu Bang, and live a life of wealth and honor. I didn't listen to your advice before, which led to the current situation. I feel guilty for not listening to you."
After Xiang Yu finished speaking, he raised the sword in his hand.
"Overlord."
Yu Ji, who was standing next to him, could no longer remain calm and shouted to stop.
Yu Ji was in disguise, and Xiang Yu's attention was all on Lin Han just now, so he didn't notice that the person next to Lin Han was Yu Ji.
Now that Yu Ji spoke, Xiang Yu paused and looked at her in disbelief.
"Sir, how could this be?" Xiang Yu looked at Lin Han in confusion.
"Yu Ji's plan to kill herself was my plan. I calculated that by now, the Overlord would be determined to die. Yu Ji told me that if the Overlord did not cross the Yangtze River to the east, she would follow me across the Yangtze River to the east and carry the thorns on her back to apologize to the people of Jiangdong on her husband's behalf." Lin Han said.
"Overlord, please follow me across the river. I will accompany you to meet the elders of Jiangdong."
Yu Ji burst into tears and begged bitterly.
"What? You'd rather let Yu Ji plead for you than face your own failure alone?" Lin Han taunted, "Your twenty-plus brothers covered your retreat, fighting for your chance to escape, and you abandoned them? Do you think you're doing them justice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the pursuers had already arrived.
Obviously, the personal soldiers who tried to stop the pursuers had been slaughtered.
"Overlord, let's go." Yu Ji's voice was shrill and anxious.
"I'm leaving."
Xiang Yu drew his sword, cut off his own hair, boarded the boat with Lin Han, and crossed the river.
Yang Xi, who was behind, saw this scene and was very upset.
After chasing and killing thousands of Han soldiers all the way, Xiang Yu was already exhausted at this time. They could have killed him as long as they caught up with him, but they missed the best opportunity and let Xiang Yu escape.
At this time, Yang Xi and others had a bad premonition.
…
In the military camp outside Gaixia, news of Xiang Yu's escape across the Wujiang River spread, alarming Liu Bang's camp. It was a perfect opportunity, but Xiang Yu's escape made people feel powerless and also made Liu Bang feel panic.
He had a deep understanding of Xiang Yu's terror.
In the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu led an army of 30,000 and destroyed his 560,000 troops in half a day, annihilating his main force that he was proud of. He almost died in that battle.
His father and wife were captured by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Pengcheng. Only after the signing of the Honggou Agreement did Xiang Yu send his father and wife back.
Even during the Battle of Guling, when the Chu army was short of food and had low morale, they still defeated him.
The battle with Xiang Yu was a shadow in his life, so he offered a huge reward in the hope of killing Xiang Yu. Now that Xiang Yu has escaped, it is unknown when he can surround him again.
"Military Advisor, is there any way to surround and kill Xiang Yu again?" Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang anxiously.
Zhang Liang calculated with his fingers and looked at the celestial phenomena, and was very surprised.
According to his deduction, Xiang Yu should have died, but he escaped at this time. After that, everything became unclear and he could no longer see the general situation.
Even someone as strong as Zhang Liang frowned and was speechless for a moment.
"Why don't we raise an army and march across Jiangdong?" Liu Bang said.
"We failed to surround and kill Xiang Yu in this battle, and the military supplies were consumed enormously. If we cross the river again, there may be an unexpected crisis. If Xiang Yu gathers the soldiers from Jiangdong to stop us, we will have no way to retreat after crossing the river." Zhang Liang shook his head and said.
