The Hero's Tomb of the Red-armed Lady (III)

A graceful woman leaned against the pillar of the big tent, looking at the man she loved deeply. She was Yu, a woman that any normal man would never forget after seeing her face. "Overlord, are you crying? When have you ever cried? You are the most courageous man in my mind. Han Xin, that melancholy man, that weak man who had to rely on a big tree to survive like a green vine, could actually force my man to this point?" Yu only had Xiang Yu in her eyes. She had never looked at other men more. She had never thought that there was another man in the world who could force her man to this point. She had seen Han Xin before, when he was serving in Xiang Yu's tent. Yu tried hard to search for Han Xin's appearance in her mind, but she could not remember anything except Han Xin's melancholy eyes. Now he and she were surrounded by the Han army. Everyone was in a state of despair, and the sense of frustration spread like a plague along with the breath of death. Only she was as calm as a lake in summer, without any waves. She didn't think it was a bad thing, she just felt that her man was too tired and needed a good rest. What about competing for the Central Plains, what about ruling the world, in her opinion, it was so worthless, she just wanted the man in front of her to laugh happily and heartily, and to block the greedy eyes of thousands of men stabbing at her as domineeringly as before.

Han Xin went south from Linzi...

Peng Yue set out from Changyi...

Liu Jia occupied Shouchun...

Ying Bu regained control of Jiujiang...

Bad news came one after another, and the gradually approaching Han troops were like ten fingers pinching his throat, with increasing force. Xiang Yu knew that his demise was an inevitable fact, and the great achievements he had gained in these years of bloody conquests would disappear, but he had no attachment, and he never regretted any of his decisions. He didn't worry that his soldiers would be slaughtered, because he knew that Liu Bang and Han Xin were both Chu people, and they shouldn't embarrass these Jiangdong children. His only worry was the fate and future of Yu Ji, the love of his life and the beauty who accompanied him in his conquests. In this era, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is nothing more than a man's doll, foil, symbol of power and status. If he died, would there be such a man in the world who could cherish this fairy who had fallen into the human world by mistake as if he cherished his own life.

He sang slowly in a low voice:

"My strength is as great as the mountains and my spirit is as great as the world.

Time is not favorable and my horse will not go away.

What can I do if my horse will not go away?

Yu Ji, Yu Ji, what can I do?"

Yu Ji listened infatuatedly, with a calm face, as holy as a fairy in the mortal world. However, her heart was already full of tears and her heart was full of knots. She looked up at the sky with gratitude, thanking God for giving her this man who valued her more than the world and his own life. She felt extremely relieved, and then she was hit by lingering sorrow, for Xiang Yu and for herself. Her tears almost overflowed from the bottom of her heart, but she held back. Her man once told her that in the days when she had him, she would happily forget what crying was. She couldn't cry. In the past years, she really forgot what sorrow, sadness, and unhappiness were... Her man could face the thousands of enemy troops calmly, and he would not change his face even if the mountains collapsed in front of him, but when he saw her with tears in his eyes, he would panic. She smiled, how happy it was to have such a man. Suddenly, she heard a weak but firm voice: "He is going to break out tonight, and he will definitely break out. As long as he wants to do something, no one can stop him, not even Han Xin. When the elders and villagers of Jiangdong see him, their blood will definitely boil again, and they will definitely sweep across the Han area with the momentum of crushing withered and rotten. He will definitely be able to regain his glory and conquer the world again!" She knew that breaking out required light riding, and she, who was usually light and slender, might become his heaviest burden at this time. She used to be his sweetest burden, but not now. She knew that a breakout required fighting, and one could not be distracted during the fight. She also knew that with her around, Xiang Yu would definitely be distracted. She knew that she was powerless to help Xiang Yu break out, but she knew what she could do.
