Yu Ji, a native of Wu County, Jiangsu Province at the end of Qin Dynasty, was a favorite of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty. She is beautiful and good at sword dancing. In the first year of Qin Ershi in 202 BC, Xiang Yu helped Xiang Liang kill Yin Tong, the satrap of Huiji, and rose in Wuzhong to respond to the Guangwu Uprising in Chen Sheng. Yu Ji loved Xiang Yu's bravery and married Xiang Yu as his concubine. She often goes out with Xiang Yu. After the death of Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu was promoted to general and went to Julu Northern Expedition. Self-reliance for the overlord of western Chu, concubine and Xiang Yu were inseparable, Qin died. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought for the world for four years. In 202 BC (the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu), Xiang Yu was besieged by Liu Bang in Gaixia (now southeast of Lingbi, Anhui Province), and the soldiers were in a state of chaos. Embattled at night, thinking that Chu was lost, he drank. "Song drew his sword and committed suicide, and was buried under the note after his death. There is Yuji's Tomb fifteen miles east of Lingbi County today, and there is a cloud in front of the tomb: "What a pity! Beauty is unlucky since ancient times; Ji Yean is here? She has now become a green grave in the yellow dusk. " Later, the inscription "The Mermaid" in the Song Dynasty was said to be named after poets The Mermaid and He Pu in the Qing Dynasty. The poem "The Mermaid" said: "The resentment of Jiangdong is still lingering, and the fragrant soul is scattered and let the wind drift. Eight thousand children hate Han, and it is Chu Yao (referring to) "The eight thousand Chu troops were forced to surrender to Liu Bang, and no one is as loyal as Liu Bang. Zhu Derong's poem "Ode to Ji"
It's early summer, the fierce moon is in the sky, and the sky is as blue as it has just been washed. A little boy, wearing only a pair of shorts, is catching loaches and frogs in the mud in the field. Boys are born with thick eyebrows and broad forehead, bright eyes, thick hands and big feet, and powerful. Not far away in the shade sat a little girl, charming and lovely, with a round face, flowing eyes and a little shy when she smiled. The boy's name is Xiang Yu, and his father has already passed away, and he lives alone with his uncle. This girl comes from a family. Her name is. Every time a boy catches a loach or frog, he sends it to the wooden bucket and bamboo basket guarded by the little girl. The little girl smiled at the boy, and the boy seemed to be inspired and jumped into the ground again.
This family and the Yu family are both nobles of the State of Chu. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Chu, they moved to Suqian County, Jiangsu Province to live in seclusion. Although they work hard in Longmu every day, they still have the ambition to change the world. Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu's uncle, actively enhanced his prestige and won the hearts of the people by hosting a big battle and funeral in Wuzhong. He also secretly used the Art of War Department to attract guests and children. There are 90 shady practitioners, one of whom is Shen Mu, who often conspires with Xiang Liang to "cast big iron to equip his armor."
On that day, Qin Shihuang visited Huiji and crossed Zhejiang. Xiang Liang took Xiang Yu to see it. Xiang Yu blurted out, "He can take the place." Frightened Xiang Liang hurriedly covered her mouth, but she was secretly happy and felt that Xiang Yu was different. However, Xiang Yu has a bad place, that is, he refuses to study. He failed to study in his early years, and turned to learn sword, which failed. He also brazenly said to his uncle, "The book is enough to register his surname. Once the sword enters the enemy, optics is not enough. You must learn from ten thousand enemies. " So Xiang Liang had to teach Xiang Yu the art of war, but he could understand the meaning, but refused to learn it. Xiang Yu gradually grew up and was over eight feet tall. He is brave enough to carry a tripod. He is brave and ruthless outside every day, and all the children in Wuzhong are afraid of him. He only listens to two people, one is his uncle Xiang Liang, and the other is Yu Wei, a childhood friend. It was Yu Wei's expectation and encouragement that prompted Xiang Yu to make a vigorous and great career for the country.
Shortly after Yu Wei married Xiang Yu, the peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu began, and uncle and nephew of Xiang Liang also raised the banner of righteousness with 8,000 soldiers. From then on, Yu Wei, as his wife, began a tense military life. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. First, the rebel forces in Chen Sheng and Guangwu developed rapidly, and the main force entered Guanzhong, hitting a scene dozens of miles away from Xianyang, the capital of Qin. But soon under the leadership of the fight back, in failure, Chen Jun's birth and slaughter Chen was killed, and the situation reversed. Xiang Liang also died in Dingtao.
Whenever Xiang Yu struggled outside, Yu Wei stayed in her tent, waiting for Xiang Yu to come back, thinking about the war at the front. She was extremely anxious. When Xiang Yu came back this day, Yu Wei quickly welcomed him to the civil account, but when she saw Xiang Yu described him as fainting and looked flustered, she knew something was wrong. When Xiang Yu sat down and gasped slightly, she piled up a smiling face and asked softly about the war ahead. Hearing the news of Xiang Liang's death, her heart was pounding, but she didn't dare to show panic on her face. She was afraid of getting Xiang Yu into trouble. She quickly ordered people to put on the already prepared dining tables to relieve Xiang Yu's boredom.
In this way, she encouraged Xiang Yu when he led troops to fight. When Xiang Yu returned to camp triumphantly, she sang and danced happily to congratulate him. When Xiang Yu met with setbacks, she comforted him with infinite tenderness. Even wearing beautiful boots and embroidered armor, she rode with Xiang Yu in the battle. With this powerful spiritual pillar, Xiang Yu became more and more brave and invincible.
After Zhang Han defeated Xiang Liang, he besieged Chen Yu in Zhao, which triggered the Battle of Julu. Chu Huaiwang sent Song Yi and Xiang Yu to rescue Chen Yu. Zhang Han in the spotlight, Song Yixun stayed. Xiang Yu was furious and killed Yi Song. He led the army across the river and across the bridge. He only prepared food for three days to show the whole army that the operation was lifeless. Nine battles between Julu and Qin Jun wiped out the main force of Qin Jun. It turned out that all the vassal armies that came to rescue Chen Yu were afraid of Qin Jun's army, so they just stood aside. The Chu soldiers led by Xiang Yu all used one move as ten moves in the battle, and the armies of the vassal States were all afraid when they saw it. After Xiang Yu defeated Qin Jun, he called the generals of various governors. These people entered the ape gate and knelt down. After the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu has become the leader of all vassal armies and the general of vassal generals. All the vassal armies who participated in the Battle of Julu were under his command, obeyed his orders, followed his western expedition, and actually became his generals. Among these people, only yang shen, Han Wangxin, Sima Yi, Zhang Er, Wu Rui, Zangcha, Tian Du, Tian An and Wei Bao were later crowned by Xiang Yu.
Then Qin Jun, who had surrendered, was ensnared for 200,000 yuan, and led the army to kill Xianyang.
After Qin's death, Xiang Yu was called the overlord of the West Chu. He enfeoffed people who contributed from all walks of life, either as kings or princes, and Yu Wei was also named a beauty. At that time, the emperor's inner palace was divided into queen, wife, beauty, lover, eight sons, seven sons, long ambassadors and few ambassadors. Xiang Yu claimed to be the overlord of Chu, and his position was naturally lower than that of the emperor. Using "beauty" to seal Wei Yu is already a relatively high name. Since then, Yu Meiren's name has spread, while Yu Wei's name is not well known. Xiang Yu is a grumpy Lu man and an affectionate seed. After Liu Bang entered Xianyang, Xiang Yu followed him, set fire to Epang Palace, collected the gold and silver treasures in Qin Gong, and transported them all to his base area, Pengcheng, but scattered thousands of beautiful women in Epang Palace, purely to please Yu Meiren.
When talking about Xiang Yu's personality, Han Xin once said such a passage: "Wang Xiang is dark and evil, and thousands of people are abolished; However, you can't be a wise general. It's a man's courage. When Xiang Wang saw that people were respectful and loving, they spoke with disgust and sobbed and ate. If you want to make meritorious service, you can't bear to give it when you are knighted. This is the so-called woman's benevolence. " Xiang Yu's opponent is Liu Bang. When Liu Bang used a trick to escape at the Hongmen banquet, Fan Zeng was very angry that Xiang Yu didn't listen to his plan, and said, "It's not enough to make a plan! Those who win the title of king of the world will be rewarded repeatedly. I belong to this! " Sure enough, when Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, returned to Pengcheng with Yu Meiren in his arms, Liu Bang, who was far away in Hanzhong, southern Shaanxi, had already built a plank road, secretly crossed Chencang, swept through Guanzhong, and entered Luoyang in the east, and began the struggle for the throne.
At the beginning of the war, Xiang Yu had an advantage, but because of his inner weakness, he was gradually at a disadvantage. It was the fourth year of Chu-Han struggle. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's general Han Xin fought fiercely in this situation, and Yu Meiren waited for Xiang Yu's return in the tent. Xiang Yu came back and was ambushed by Han Xin this time. Although relying on a painting halberd, Zhong Limei and Lu Bu struggled to help each other, killing one layer after another. When Xiang Yu returned to the tent, Yu Meiren comforted her as in the past, but Xiang Yu was already worried about himself. Xiang Yu, who was usually bold, never had anything to be afraid of, and now his spirit is gone. Look at the wine, blue lanterns and red flowers in his account, and look at Mrs. Yu's blue eyebrows, as if there is an infinite desolate scene in it. The sergeant reported that the Han army had surrounded the camp. What should we do? Xiang Yu blurted out and asked people to be careful and stick to it. "I will fight them to the death tomorrow!" At this time, when Yu Meiren was around, when she heard Xiang Yu say an ominous word "death", she was almost in tears. She just wants to earn a few words to comfort Xiang Yu, but there seems to be a lot of words in her stomach. Somehow, she can't say a word. The two men drank silently, only to hear waves of wind rustling, the whine of corn, the galloping of cars, the neighing of war horses and amityville horror. A steep song blew in with the wind, with a voice like resentment, weeping, complaining, high and low; Suddenly a long sound, suddenly a short sound. It's like the chirping of cranes in kuya, as if the four fields were whining, and they all heard generate writing together. This song was specially composed by Sean, Liu Bang's strategist, who taught the soldiers to sing around the Chu camp at night, which excited a group of Chu soldiers, missed the transit and secretly left one after another. Even Zhong Limei and Lyu3 bu4, who had no war, no service, mutually assured destruction and never had the same ambition, could not help but leave behind. Only those 800 soldiers are still guarding the camp gate. Mrs Yu stood there propped up and became a cry baby. When Xiang Yu arrived here, he couldn't help shedding heroic tears and generously lamenting the leftovers on the table:
When you rise from the mountain and work hard, you will never die.
No way, but no way.
Mrs. Yu was listening, and Xiang Yu's song was known, and she broke down in tears. If it is intermittent, she will sing:
Han soldiers have retreated slightly, surrounded by songs,
Your majesty is exhausted, how can a concubine live!
Those loyal ministers who haven't dispersed can't help crying when they see each other. They suddenly heard drums beating five times in the camp. Xiang Yu turned to the beauty and said, "It's almost dawn. I should risk my life to get out of the encirclement. What can I do? " Yu Meiren suddenly stood up, raised his eyebrows and panted to Xiang Yu, "My concubine lived and died with the king. May the king take care of his future! " To get to the point, he suddenly pulled out a sword from Xiang Yu's waist and put it around his neck. In this way, the blood splashed on the throat and the fragrance vanished. Xiang Yu caressed the body and cried loudly. He ordered his wife who had been buried in the pit for so many years to go to Wuyishan, deus ex. However, after all, he did not escape the pursuit of Han soldiers and committed suicide in Wujiang River. Xiang Yu was only thirty-one years old this year.
Before he died, Xiang Yu knew that his own demise was inevitable, and his career was about to go up in smoke. He has no nostalgia, no regrets and no sighs. His only concern is the future of his beloved corn poppy, who often accompanies him to explore the East and the West. There is no doubt that after his death, Yu Meiren's fate will be very tragic. The sharp and unbearable pain gnawed at his heart, and before she died, she sang sadly: "I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll ask!" " "It contains how deep love, so unforgettable.
Liu bang later buried Yu Meiren with a ceremony. Today, there is a fragrant house in the south of Dingyuan County, Anhui Province. The grass growing on the grave is slender and beautiful, swaying in the wind. It's called Young Mermaid Grass, which constantly tells the tenderness and chastity of Young Mermaid. Later, a group of people, admiring Yu Meiren's hero and admirable personality, often used the word "You Renmei" as the title of the song, telling a heartfelt story and leaving a lasting legacy.
