Still on August 8, coming out of the Guandu ancient battlefield, we went to the chasm—that is, the place on the chessboard where the Chu River Han Realm was.
I specifically told this history in "Yici Reading Guide", which was called "The Duel between the Neck and the Knife: The Fall of Xiang Yu".
It is said that in 203 BC, in November (October is the first year of the year), Xiang Yu's general Long He was killed by Han Xin. In the past four years, Liu Bang has been violently beaten by Xiang Yu, often beaten to the head, however, Liu Bang is like a small qiang who cannot be killed, and after escaping for his life, he immediately led another team and continued to chase Xiang Yu and be beaten.
Liu Bang was beaten, but his subordinates Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu blossomed in other battlefields, until Long He was killed by Han Xin, Xiang Yu suddenly found that his own people were getting fewer and fewer, the territory was getting smaller and smaller, the Xiaoqiang who was beaten by himself, there were more and more people, the territory was getting bigger and bigger, and he almost formed an encirclement of himself. For the first time in his life, Xiang Yu felt the word "afraid", and finally lowered his noble head and sent people to lobby Han Xin against the water.
Han Xin smiled and said:
When I was working as an errand under King Xiang, he didn't listen to me and didn't follow my calculations, and I really couldn't help it, so I went to the King of Han. The King of Han made me a general, took off his clothes for me to wear, distributed his food to me, and obeyed me, so that I could be where I am today. Now, King Xiang sent Mr. to lobby, how can I be embarrassed to betray King Han? Please Sir go back and thank King Xiang on my behalf.
Xiang Yu's food will run out, and his heart is worried.
Previously, Xiang Yu captured Liu Bang's father, Liu Taigong, and his daughter-in-law Lü He. This time, Liu Bang took advantage of the victory and sent an envoy to Xiang Yu to request that Liu Taigong be returned. Xiang Yu took advantage of this opportunity to sign a covenant with Liu Bang:
With the chasm as the boundary, west of the chasm, all belong to the Han, and east of the chasm, it belongs to the western Chu. The two countries are friendly and will never invade.
Therefore, Xiang Yu used a grand ceremony to return Liu Bang and Liu Bang's wife Lü He, and then led his army to retreat east.
No one expected that Liu Bang would adopt Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's strategy, tear up the covenant, and send troops to attack Xiang Yu.
In December 202 BC, Liu Bang's army besieged Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu eventually killed himself on the Wujiang River. Liu Bang achieved the world.
The chasm is located in Xingyang, and it is said that this is the place. The grass is luxuriant, and the feeling of a deep ditch is really impossible to photograph.
On the side of the chasm is the Yellow River.
This is probably Xiang Yu's black horse.
For two thousand years, political figures have probably idolized Liu Bang. But the common people, who probably like Xiang Yu more, can't get used to Liu Bang's rogue look, hehe.
After coming down from the chasm, everyone decided to eat noodles - when you arrive in Henan, you can't eat mutton stew noodles once, right? We entered a noodle restaurant, Lao Liang treated, ordered the most expensive kind, ordinary ten yuan a bowl, Lao Liang specially ordered twelve yuan a bowl, it is estimated that there is more mutton.
Take a look at the tomato egg noodles.
The portions were too large, I really didn't finish it, and I sinned. Before leaving, we told the hostess, you have too much noodles, it's not delicious, it's really can't eat, you can eat less. The lady smiled happily and said that the workers at the construction site next to her complained that the amount was too small and people couldn't eat enough.
This world is so different.
The so-called four bodies are not diligent, and the five grains are not divided, it may be our group of idlers.
After eating tomatoes and egg noodles, we hurriedly drove to the high-arch tomb, the time was very tight, and we had to rush back to Zhengzhou in the evening and take the high-speed train to Wuhan.
