What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Xiang Yu was naturally one of the best generals in Chinese history, but as the overlord of the Qin and Han dynasties, Xiang Yu's military prowess became one of his Achilles heels—his light obscured almost all of his military generals, so that we could casually propose the generals under Liu Bang,but they were relatively unfamiliar with Xiang Yu's generals.
Historically, Xiang Yu's most relied on warriors included Long He, Cao Gui, Zhou Yin (all three of whom were also Western Chu Grand Sima Ma), Zhong Lixiao, Ji Bu, Ying Bu, and others. As the highest military general of Western Chu, Sima Da, who could sit in this position, was naturally the one who was most loyal to Xiang Yu and had the strongest military ability.
Among the three simas of Western Chu, Zhou Yin's historical record is relatively small, he betrayed Xiang Yu in the fifth year of Han, attacked the Chu state with King Yingbu of Jiujiang, and conquered Shouchun, and after slaughtering the city father, he met with Liu Bang to join him, so in the days when he followed Xiang Yu, he may not be able to make Xiang Yu push his heart.
That's what relationships do!
In my opinion, Long and for Xiang Yu, Lu Xie are similar roles to Liu Bang. However, Long Ji's personal ability will definitely crush Lu Xuan.'
Let's take a look at what kind of battles Long Ji has fought for Xiang Yu, and how has he performed? What kind of help does it have for Xiang Yu?
Let's talk about two typical ones:
When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Yingbu rebelled, and for various reasons, he defected to Liu Bang. Xiang Yu was very angry, and after he returned from QiDi, he asked Long Ji and Fan Zeng to take someone to destroy Yingbu.
This time, the unreasonable Yingbu fought a big defeat, it can be said that all of Yingbu's men and horses were killed in the battle, and his family was also killed by the dragon.
Yingbu was equivalent to the light rod commander running to Liu Bang and defecting to Liu Bang to make a comeback.
This time, yingbu's failure, long and the credit is not small. Being able to force away the first fierce general under Xiang Yu in the past, the dragon did have two shots.
If it is so, the dragon is indeed worthy of the name, worthy of one of the four generals under Xiang Yu's account.
However, this victory meant little to Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu had the highest expectations for him, and he didn't win it!
We are looking at another important task that Xiang Yu has sent to the dragon.
The success or failure of this comparative battle can be said to be related to the survival of Xiang Yu. At that time, the situation was that Han Xin planned to occupy the state of Qi, and after occupying the state of Qi, he attacked Xiang Yu back and forth between Xingyang and Liu Bang.
In this way, Xiang Yu Liu will undoubtedly lose!
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu confronted each other in Xingyang, and Xiang Yu wanted to contain Liu Bang's strength, and he couldn't leave at all. At this time, it was necessary to send a person to the State of Qi to stop Han Xin from destroying Qi.
This general chosen by Xiang Yu was Long He.
In order to be able to make the dragon and fight a victorious battle, Xiang Yu gave him the greatest support within his ability, at that time Xiang Yu had 300,000 soldiers, he gave the dragon and 200,000, and he only kept 100,000.
To say that this battle is so important, the dragon must be careful to win this battle. However, the dragon did not look careful at all.
After he arrived in the State of Qi, he told the generals of the State of Qi that Han Xin was the person he knew best, and that Han Xin was also the benevolence of women and was not worthy of being his opponent.
In short, he just told the soldiers not to pay too much attention to this battle, they can definitely win a big victory.
Why did The Dragon say that he knew Han Xin?
The reason is that Han Xin once defected to Xiang Yu and showed Xiang Yu the gate, and Han Xin at that time really had no ability, because he did not have the ability to play on the stage. However, today's Hanxin is different. Han Xin fought many victorious battles, especially in the battle of Zhao Guo, which made Han Xin famous.
However, even so, Long still looked down on Han Xin, and when he fought with Han Xin, he still did not do his homework.
However, when Han Xin knew that his opponent was Long He, he made a lot of preparations, he wanted to go to the battlefield where he fought with Long He, and see what were the necessary places for Long He? There are some things that you can take advantage of in terms of timing and location.
When he was inspecting, he found the Weishui River!
Han Xin used this Weishui River to win this battle. Before the battle began, Han Xin ordered his soldiers to cut off the water in the Weishui River. Causing the phenomenon that there was no water downstream, when Longhe's troops passed downstream, Han Xin ordered the soldiers upstream to let go of the truncated water, so that the flood would wash Longhe's troops to pieces.
The battle was basically not fought much, and Han Xin won the victory. Long He was also killed by Han Xin, and Xiang Yu gave Long He an army of 200,000, and was killed by Han Xin.
Why is it said that the dragon and xiang yu will be finished as soon as they die?
The reason was that The dragon and Xiang Yu's army were almost all destroyed, Xiang Yu only had 100,000 troops, Han Xin 300,000, Liu Bang 200,000, the two of them combined soldiers a total of 500,000 troops, even if Xiang Yu grew wings, it was difficult to escape.
Therefore, the death of Long Ji means that the Chu army is going to perish.
