Guoxin Chu, county (1), Chen Bing. In the sixth year of the Han dynasty, someone wrote a letter to tell the king of Chu that he was treacherous. Gaudi took Chen Pingji, and the son of heaven visited the princes. There is a cloud dream in the south. He sent a message to the warlord Chen: "I am swimming in the cloud dream." If you really want to attack the letter, you will know. High-impedance and Chu, a letter to send troops against, since the innocence; I want to pay homage, but I am afraid of seeing birds. People may say that letter: "If you are beheaded, you will be happy and have no trouble." Believe what you see and don't know what to do. Mei said, "Han didn't attack Chu, so he stayed in the government. If you want to arrest me to flatter yourself, I will die today, and I will die at will. " But he cursed the letter and said, "You are not an elder!" " When you die, you die. Believe first, I admire my ancestor Chen. Order the samurai to bind the letters and lift the back car. The letter said: "If people say:' A sly rabbit dies, a good dog lives; High birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden; Destroy the enemy and the counselor will die.

① line: check, check. (2) Governors of the inaugural meeting: The emperor visited the vassal states once every few years, and everywhere he went, the governors of all countries went to the designated place to meet the emperor.

Translation:

When Han Xin first arrived in Chu, he toured the counties and cities to which he belonged, and there were armed guards in and out. Han six years, someone wrote to report Han Xin rebellion. Gaudi adopted Chen Ping's plan, pretending that the emperor went out to inspect and meet the prince. There was a Yunmengze in the south, and an envoy was sent to inform the princes to meet in Chen County, saying, "I want to inspect Yunmengze." Actually, it was to attack Han Xin, and Han Xin didn't know it. When Gaozu was going to Chu, Han Xin wanted to send troops to rebel, but he thought he was innocent. He wants to appear before the emperor, but he is afraid of being captured. Someone said to Han Xin, "If you kill Sister Li Zonglin and go to see the emperor, the emperor will be happy and there will be no harm." Han Xin went to see Li Zonglin Mei to discuss. Li Zhongmei said: "Hanwang didn't attack Chu because I was with you. You wanted to arrest me to please Hanwang. If I die today, you will die with me. " So he scolded Han Xin and said, "You are not a loyal minister!" Finally strangled and died. Han Xin took his head and went to Chen County to worship Gaudi. The emperor ordered the samurai to tie up Han Xin and put him in the accompanying car. Han Xin said: "when the cunning rabbit dies, the excellent hunting dog will be cooked and killed;" The birds in Gao Xiang are gone, and the excellent bows and arrows are collected; The enemy country was shattered and the counselor died. Now that the world is safe, I should have been boiled to death! " The emperor said, "Someone accused you of rebellion. "He put the instruments of torture on Han Xin. In Luoyang, Han Xin was pardoned and renamed Huaiyin Hou. With a note from Wang Junbi, the food was serenaded, and the Han army and the vassal soldiers were surrounded. In the evening, when Wang Xiang heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides, he was startled and said, "Did the Han army capture the State of Chu? "He Chu so many people!" Wang Xiang gets up at night and drinks in his tent. If you have a beauty, you will always be lucky; Good horses are famous and often ride. Therefore, Wang Xiang is a sad and generous poet, who wrote a poem for himself, saying, "If you pull out a mountain, you will be angry with the world, and if it is unfavorable, you will not die." What can I do without dying? "Songs count, beauty and it. Xiang Wang cried several times, but both sides cried, afraid to look up.

So Xiang Wang got on his horse and fled south overnight with more than 800 strong men. Pingming, the Han army knew about this, so it ordered the cavalry Guan Ying to chase with 5,000 horses. When Xiang Wang crossed the Huai River, there were more than 100 riders. Wang Xiang went to Yin Ling and got lost. He asked Fu Tian, and Fu Tian said, "Left." Left, it's trapped in Ozawa, so Han can catch up with it. Wang Naifu led his troops to the east, but when he reached the east, he had twenty-eight riders. There are thousands of Han riders. Xiang Wang couldn't escape, so he rode on his horse: "I have been in the army for eight years and fought more than 70 wars. I have been defeated by people who have been attacked. I have never lost, so I ruled the world. " However, today I am trapped here, and my death on this day is not a crime of war. Today, I am determined to die. I am willing to fight for you soon, and I will win three times. I will break the city, cut the generals and cut the flag for you, and let you know that this is not a war crime. "It is divided into four teams, four directions. The Han army has a large number. King Xiang said he rode a horse. "I'll take one for the public." "Ride all over the world and visit three places in Shandong. So Xiang Wang shouted that the Han army was invincible, so he beheaded a Han general. At the right time, Chiquan Hou chased Wang Xiang to ride a general. Wang Xiang was very angry and scolded him. Chi Quanhou was surprised by his troops and made several miles. Not riding, but three places. The Han army didn't know where Wang Xiang was, but surrounded the army in three ways. Wang Naichi beheaded a captain from Korea, killed hundreds of people, reunited his rider, and killed his second rider. It means he rides: "What?" The riders all leaned down and said, "As your Majesty said! "

So Wang Xiang wants to cross the Wujiang River eastward. Director Wujiang Pavilion, the boat is waiting. It said to Wang Xiang, "Although Jiangdong is small, with a territory of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of thousands, it is a king. May the king rush by. Today, I have a boat, and the Han army has arrived, so there is no way to cross it. " King Xiang smiled and said, "What can I do if the sky dies?" ! Besides, 8,000 people crossed the river to the west with Jiangdong's children, and none of them came back today. How can I see them? If you don't say anything, is a person worth it? "It is said that Tingchang said," I know the elders. I rode this horse when I was five years old and I was invincible. I tried to travel thousands of miles a day and couldn't bear to kill it for the public. " So all the riders dismounted and walked to fight the short soldiers. Hundreds of Han troops were killed by Du Ji. Wang Xiang was also hit more than ten times. Gu Han Jian rode Sima Lv Matong and said, "What if it's not my old friend?" Stable boy said to Wang Yi, "This is also a king." Nye said, "I heard that Han bought my head and daughter, and I am a good man." "He committed suicide. Wang Jin took his head, and Yu Qi fought for the king and killed dozens of people. Finally, the card shark rode Yang, rode Sima, and the card shark Lu Sheng and Yang Wu were all integrated. All five people will be * * *. So the land was divided into five parts: Zhongshuihou, Duyanhou by Wang Ming, Chiquanhou by Yang, Wufanghou by Yang Wu and Nieyanghou by Lu Sheng. Xiang Yu's troops were stationed in the camp wall, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers, and the food was finished. The Han army and the vassal army surrounded Wang Xiang for several layers. At night, the Han army was under siege. Xiang Yu was shocked and said, "Did the Han army capture Chu? "Why are there so many Chu people here?" Xiang Yu got up at night and drank in the army account. There is a beautiful woman named Yu, who is very loved and often follows her; There is a good horse named Jing, who often rides it. So Xiang and echo each other, sadly, were in high spirits. He wrote a poem himself: "Strength can pull mountains out, heroism can overwhelm life, and the weather is unfavorable." What can I do if I don't like it? Yu Ji, how did Yu Ji arrange you? "After singing a few times, Yu Ji should also sing with him. Xiang Yu's tears trickled down several lines, and the guards around him shed tears. No one can look up at Xiang Yu.

So Xiang Yu got on the horse, and more than 800 people rode with him. That night, he rode out of the tight encirclement and ran to the south. At dawn, the Han army realized that Xiang Yu had broken through and ordered the cavalry general Guan Ying to lead five thousand cavalry to pursue Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu crossed the Huaihe River, only 100 cavalry could keep up. Xiang Yu went to Yin Ling (the name of Qin County), lost his way and couldn't find his way. He asked an old farmer, who lied to him and said, "Turn left." Xiang Yu left and fell into a swamp. Therefore, the Han army caught up with Wang Xiang. Xiang Yu led the troops eastward again and arrived in Dongcheng (the name of Qin County), leaving only 28 cavalry. Thousands of people were chased by Han cavalry. Xiang Yu himself estimated that he could not escape, and said to his cavalry, "I fought for eight years and experienced more than 70 battles. I defeated all the enemies I met; All the people I attacked surrendered, so I dominated and occupied the world. But today I'm finally trapped here. This is because God wants to destroy me, not because I command the war. Today, I am doomed to die. I'm willing to fight a decisive battle for you. I must defeat the enemy three times, break through the encirclement for you, slay the Han generals, and cut down the enemy's flag, so that you can know that this is God's will, not my mistake in using troops. " So he divided the cavalry into four teams and faced four directions. The Han army surrounded them layer by layer. Xiang Yu said to the cavalry, "I'll cut him down for you." Command points in all directions of cavalry rushed to kill, agreed to meet in three places in the east of the mountain. So Xiang Yu rushed down with a loud cry, and the Han army went belly-up (invincible: this describes the appearance of grass and trees), so he killed a general of the Han army. At this time, Hou Yangxi of Chiquan served as a cavalry general and pursued Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang glared at him and shouted at him. Hou Lian and his horse were taken aback and retreated several miles. He met his cavalry in three places, and the Han army didn't know where Wang Xiang was. So (Han army) divided the army into three parts and surrounded it again. King Xiang attacked, beheaded a captain of the Han army and killed dozens of people. Summoning his cavalry again, only two cavalry were lost, so he asked the rider, "What's the situation?" The cavalry all praised: "It's as you said!"

So Xiang Yu wanted to cross the Wujiang River eastward (Wujiangpu on the west bank of the Yangtze River). Director Wujiang Pavilion docked the boat on the shore, waiting for Xiang Yu. He said to Xiang Yu: "Although Jiangdong is small, it has a land of thousands of miles and a population of hundreds of thousands, which is enough to be king. I hope the king can cross the river quickly. Now there is only one boat, and even if the Han army catches up, there is no way to cross the river. " Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Since God wants to destroy me, why should I cross the river?"? Besides, I, Xiang Yu (once led) 8,000 children from Jiangdong, crossed the Wujiang River to the west. Now, none of them have survived. Even if my brothers in Jiangdong love me and make me king, how can I face them? Even if they don't say anything, aren't I ashamed? " So he said to the curator, "I know you are a man of noble character." I have been riding this horse for five years and have never met my opponent. I travel thousands of miles every day, and I can't bear to kill it and give it to you! "So he ordered the cavalry to dismount and walk and engage with short and light weapons. Ji Xiang alone killed hundreds of Han soldiers, and Wang Xiang himself was injured in more than a dozen places. Looking back, I saw Sima Lv Matong (formerly Xiang Yu's Ministry, now back to Han) in the cavalry of the Han army and said, "Aren't you my old friend?" Facing Xiang Yu, Lv Matong instructed Wang Yi to say, "This is Xiang Yu." Xiang Yu said: "I heard that Hanwang offered a reward of 1,200 gold and 10,000 fiefs for my head. I will give you some benefits. "He committed suicide by cutting his neck.
