Chapter 57 Moon Sacrifice

The autumn wind was bleak and it was hard to sleep at night. Xiang Yu stood on a high platform in Chencang City and looked at the surroundings under the moonlight. There was a lot of food and grass in Chencang City. When Sun Jiang led his army to leave tomorrow, he would also bring the city with him.

Most of the food and grass that was not left was burned. In this way, when Han Sui's large army arrived, there was no way to obtain sufficient food and grass supplies by occupying Chencang City.

The bright moon was in the sky, just when it was about to be round but not yet full, a trace of sadness and sadness came to Xiang Yu's heart leisurely. He looked up at the night sky, as if he saw a familiar and vague figure in the bright moon, a dancing girl.

Bright eyes and white teeth, as bright as morning glow, as white as warm jade, fresh and refined, looking forward to life.

"Yu Ji, is that you?" Xiang Yu felt a little sad. He didn't expect that four hundred years had passed, but he still missed that person in his heart, so that facing the upcoming full moon, he felt a kind of emotion.

The moon is sometimes full, but beautiful women are rarely seen. He is not a sentimental person, but as the saying goes, heroes are short-tempered and children love each other long. The only person who can make the great hero Xiang Yu always care about Yu Ji.

After all, life is just like a dream. Every bit of the past, whether it is success or failure, honor or disgrace, glory or trough, is in the past after all, but those are never the things that haunt Xiang Yu the most.

But there was only her, that delicate and charming face, as gentle as the spring breeze and drizzle, nourishing Xiang Yu's heart.

That day, Yu Ji committed suicide in front of him, and blood spilled all over the ground. He fell to the ground in pain, unable to express his grief and anger. He no longer had the heart to live alone, and only hoped to have another vigorous battle before his death. Faced with

A lonely boat on the edge of the Wujiang River, his heart is as solid as a rock, and his determination to die has never wavered.

"I have no face to see the fathers of Jiangdong!" With this swan song, the life of Xiang Yu, the great hero of a generation, is about to come to an end.

Now these past events have come back to Xiang Yu's mind. He has never thought about what he would have done if he had boarded that lonely boat that day and returned to Jiangdong to plan a comeback. It seemed that with Yu Ji's death, his heart also felt at that moment.

If he dies, in that state of mind, even if he goes back in time countless times, he will still make the same choice.

Now that you have made your choice, you will not regret it!

The man in the moon quietly went away. Xiang Yu stretched out a hand towards the sky, as if he wanted to catch the illusory phantom, and wanted to re-grasp the pain and regret sealed in the deepest part of his heart. However, nothing could come back.

Gone, he cannot stop the passage of time, cannot grasp the torrent flowing through the long river of time, all he can do is to become a lonely boat in this torrent, or build an isolated island.

He originally thought that he would hate Liu Bang and the Han Dynasty because of this. When his soul re-entered the body, he learned that the Han Dynasty, which had been born for four hundred years, was full of dangers, like a tall tower.

When the foundation was unstable and in danger of collapse at any time, he didn't seem to feel that strong sense of pleasure in his heart.

In the past few years, he had asked himself some questions over and over again. It was not until he faced his heart many times that he truly understood that he had never had any hatred for Liu Bang or the Han Dynasty.

The only person he really hates is himself.

In the past, he had never looked down on anyone except himself. The deepest pride in his heart simply did not allow him to base his failure on the fact that others were too strong. He also could not see that there might be any hidden potential in Liu Bang.

Some advantages and shining points, he can only see certain results caused by his own choices.

Until the end, until he fought to the last moment on the edge of Wujiang River, until he drew his sword and committed suicide, the only person he really blamed in his heart was himself. If he had not made those mistakes, if he could have been stronger

Some, if he continues to win like every battle in his life.

More than once in his life, he faced the unfavorable situation of weak against strong, but he was always the final winner. Only this time, he lost. He told himself that he did not lose to Liu Bang or Han Xin.

It’s not that he lost to other princes and kings, the only one he lost was himself, because he didn’t do well enough and wasn’t strong enough!

So Xiang Yu actually doesn't care at all. He doesn't care whether the Han Dynasty was founded by Liu Bang, doesn't care whether the Han Dynasty has existed for four hundred years, and doesn't care whether it is about to die. He thought he would care at first, but in fact he doesn't care.

What you really care about may have passed away long ago and will never come back.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu felt an unbearable pain in his heart. All this seemed to mean that everything Xiang Yu did now was meaningless. The glory of his previous life that he was trying to regain now, those who fought for hegemony, and those who planned to conquer the world, were all in vain.

Could it be that Ma Zongheng's passionate years were just a way for him to escape the greatest pain deep in his heart?

Just like him in his previous life, he never seemed to really want to become a great emperor who could succeed Qin Shihuang. That day when Qin Shihuang was traveling, he and his uncle Xiang Liang went to assassinate Qin Shihuang. When Xiang Yu saw Qin Shihuang's journey, he said

:He can replace it.

And Liu Bang once said when he saw Qin Shihuang's trip: This is what a real man should do.

Both Xiang Yu and Liu Bang regarded Qin Shihuang as a benchmark. However, later Xiang Yu never really came close to what he said. His heart was filled with the hatred between Qin and Chu, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

He had no choice but to take revenge, even to the point of killing the Qin army, burning Al Pang Palace and Xianyang City, and destroying the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

But Liu Bang really tried to become a person like Qin Shihuang, so that in the end, the Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty also inherited many systems of the Qin Dynasty, which shows that Liu Bang deeply recognized many of Qin Shihuang's practices. The difference is that Liu Bang's

The reform of the political system was not as radical as that of Qin Shihuang, who went directly from the feudal system to the county system. Instead, the feudal system and the county system were paralleled, which to a certain extent eased the conflict between the old aristocratic forces and the emerging dynasties at that time.

contradiction.

Then use time, the sharpest weapon, to gradually disintegrate the power of the feudal kings, or directly replace the kings with the same surname with different surnames. Of course, the political system formulated by Liu Bang also has great potential problems.

Xiang Yu pulled out his saber and thrust it into the ground. Then he knelt down on one knee. He seemed to be saying something, but his eyes gradually changed from sadness to perseverance.

Xiang Yu closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again after a long time, a crystal teardrop flowed from his eyes. He pulled the sword up from the ground, and the sharp blade passed across the palm of his hand.

Blood dripped down.

"After tomorrow, if I, Xiang Yu, can fight to the death, I swear to seize this world!"
