Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, has always described a heroic figure who can sing and cry, and the poignant love story of Yu Ji and Yu Ji's double Wujiang self-destruct has touched generations of people. However, after all, this is only a literary creation, and there is still a big difference from the historical facts, in fact, Yu Ji's artistic image only began to appear after the Yuan Dynasty, she was just an ancient woman without a name. Xiang Yu benji records that there are beautiful people with the name of Yu.
Yu is just a surname, Ji is an ancient beauty name, so posterity will call her Yu Ji. According to folklore, Yu Ji was the sister of Xiang Yu's general Yu Ziqi, who, because of her beauty and martial arts, admired the young and brave Xiang Yu, so she voluntarily married him as a concubine. However, Xiang Yu was suspicious and nepotistic, and among his combat teams, only his own relatives had a head start, and it was very difficult for others to be promoted and reused.
For example, Han Xin once threw himself under his door, but he was not appreciated by Xiang Yu and could only be a small soldier standing guard. Xiang Yu probably didn't expect at that time that it was this little soldier he despised, who used the ten-sided ambush of the gods to force himself into a dead end! With such nepotism, Xiang Yu naturally did not go far on the road of competing for world domination, which also laid the groundwork for his defeat.
In the final battle of the Chu-Han war, Xiang Yutun was besieged by the Han army, and the soldiers lacked medical treatment and food. Liu Bang listened to Zhang Liang's advice and sang Chu songs on all sides, shaking the hearts of the Chu army. Xiang Yu was horrified after hearing this, could it be that Liu Bang had already beaten down the entire Chu Land? Otherwise, how can so many people sing Chu Songs! Seeing that he was about to be defeated, Yu Ji took advantage of his lack of preparation in order not to drag Xiang Yu down, pulled out the sword around Xiang Yu's waist, and killed himself.
Xiang Yu cried bitterly after seeing this, and ordered someone to bury Yu Ji's body on the spot, and then stepped on a war horse to kill the siege. However, in the end, he was unable to escape the encirclement and suppression of the Han army, and there was nowhere to escape on the edge of the Wu River, and he killed himself. In folklore, there was an old fisherman on the riverside who tried to help Xiang Yu cross the river and escape, but Xiang Yu suspected that his entire Chu state had already submitted to Liu Bang, the king of Han, and if so, he would not be able to throw himself into the net! Perhaps it was precisely because of this careful consideration that Xiang Yu, who was facing a major setback, was discouraged, and it was not the enemy army that forced him to die, but his own suspicions.
