Chapter 39: Overlord dies, Supreme emerges
"If you dare to kill Yu, the Chu people will never let you go! We will hunt you down to the end of the world!"
Xiang Yushuang struggled desperately, but was unable to break free from the opponent's restraints. His red eyes stared at Chen Qilin as if he wanted to eat someone and threatened.
Chen Qilin hesitated slightly.
After all, Xiang Yu is a rare general and a representative figure of the military strategist's "military situation" (the four forces of military strategists: military situation, military strategy, military yin and yang, and military skills).
"The bravery of feathers is unparalleled throughout the ages."
If Xiang Yu could change his stance and become a general under Ying Zheng, helping Qin conquer the Eight Wastelands and sweep across Europe and Asia, Chen Qilin could spare his life.
Let Xiang Yu's destiny change, Chen Qilin feels that this is the best destination for Xiang Yu!
Of course, if Xiang Yu refuses to be loyal to Da Qin, must rebel, and vows to kill him, Chen Qilin will have no choice but to kill him.
Although Xiang Yu is a unique hero in the hearts of many people, Chen Qilin is not interested in it!
He only admired Xiang Yu's bravery. His military ability was indeed good, but Xiang Yu's other aspects were not so good!
If it weren't for Sima Qian's preference for Xiang Yu and his special writings in historical records to beautify and heroize Xiang Yu, he would have become a demon that everyone fears!
How much does Sima Qian prefer Xiang Yu?
Anyone who has read Historical Records will find that the Liu Bang part of the chapter that records Liu Bang and Xiang Yu seems boring, with basically nothing to read.
Does Liu Bang have nothing to write about? He was a second-rate son who completed a shocking counterattack and became the founding emperor. He is a legend in himself and definitely not an ordinary person!
Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, were both civilian emperors who rose to prominence at a young age.
It's just that Sima Qian doesn't like Liu Bang...
And what about Xiang Yu’s part?
Sima Qian almost wrote Xiang Yu into a poem, which rose to the level of aesthetics. When Xiang Yu reached the end of his life, his performances of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Wujiang Suicide" were so tragic, poignant, and touching!
Sima Qian shaped Xiang Yu into a romantic, lonely, and tragic revolutionary, which seemed so touching!
When future generations read the chronicle of Xiang Yu in the Historical Records, they will be moved by Xiang Yu's heroism and tragedy. He has become a regret in people's hearts and will be remembered forever.
In fact, with Xiang Yu's status, he could not enter the "Benji" section in the Historical Records that was specially used to record emperors, but Sima Qian made an exception and included Xiang Yu in the "Benji" section.
And Sima Qian also compared Xiang Yu with the wise king Shun in ancient times.
"Shun's eyes have double pupils, and Yu's eyes also have double pupils."
In other words, Xiang Yu, like the ancient wise king Shun, both have double pupils.
This shows that Sima Qian's preference for Xiang Yu even goes against his objective and impartial professionalism as a historian!
Many people suspect that the poignant "Farewell My Concubine" was probably made up by Sima Qian!
Xiang Yu was surrounded by heavy soldiers at Gaixia and could not lead his concubine Yu Ji to break out. He was also worried that his woman would be cuckolded by an enemy. How could Xiang Yu, who was so proud and headstrong, tolerate others cuckolding him, so he killed his beloved with his own hands. Concubine!
Of course, there is no way of knowing what history actually looked like.
Xiang Yu massacred cities, surrendered and trapped soldiers as many as six times in his life, namely Xiangcheng Massacre, Chengyang Massacre, Xin'an Massacre, Xianyang Massacre, Poqi Massacre, and Waihuang Massacre (due to the powerful words of a Waihuang boy) and gave up).
Xiang Yu massacred and burned Xianyang, causing huge losses.
Not to mention other aspects, China's splendid pre-Qin culture suffered a devastating blow.
The large number of rare and rare classics that Qin had preserved in the Xianyang Palace were all burned down by Xiang Yu's barbaric fire. As a result, the lifelong efforts of countless outstanding scholars and the crystallization of thousands of years of academic culture were destroyed in this catastrophe.
A large number of original books have been lost, and only a small number of folk manuscripts and oral transmissions are relied upon, so confusion and omissions are inevitable.
As a result, there were two versions of the "Book of Books" (generally referred to as "Book of Songs"), three versions of the "Book of Songs", the "Analects" circulated in Qi region was different from that of Lu region, there were several versions of "Spring and Autumn", and other classics were even more confusing...
Confucianism only has three isolated points: Confucius, Mencius, and Xun; the origin of Taoist classics is facing torture; the tight group of Mohism is unknown; three tombs, five classics, eight ropes and nine hills, no one knows who they are.
Xiang Yu had too many negative things, such as forcing his old leader to death (King Huai of Chu, later the Righteous Emperor), banishing his mentor Fan Zeng, and committing massacres everywhere...
If it weren't for the beautification of Sima Qian's historical writing, Xiang Yu's reputation in later generations would definitely drop a lot!
Chen Qilin only admired Xiang Yu for his bravery, but could not say anything about other aspects.
…
After Chen Qilin finished speaking, he stared at Xiang Yu with blazing eyes.
Life or death, Xiang Yu decides by himself!
"Hmph! Even if his body is shattered to pieces, Yu will not surrender to the tyrant Ying Zheng!!!"
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said.
For some reason, when Chen Qilin heard Xiang Yu call Ying Zheng a tyrant, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.
"Why are you laughing?" Xiang Yu asked coldly.
Chen Qilin said: "It's nothing, you can go and die!"
He didn't bother to explain...
Chen Qilin's five fingers were like hooks and he exerted slight force.
boom--
Xiang Yu's head was scratched and exploded, scarlet blood sprayed out, and he died. His body, as strong as an iron tower, shook and fell to the ground.
A generation of overlords fell.
Poor Xiang Yu, his legend has ended just like that before he even started writing it!
Chen Qilin killed the other party and thought it was good to do so, so that the people of the world would not suffer from the killing!
With Xiang Yu's character, rebellion is a matter of time!
Who knows how many people will die by then!
Now with the help of Chen Qilin, Ying Zheng will make the Qin Dynasty prosper, which is a blessing for the people!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task: killing Xiang Yu. Special reward, the Supreme Edition of "Wuji Guiyuan, the First Chapter"! ]
Suddenly, the sound of the system sounded.
Chen Qilin was slightly stunned, and a ball of light flew in front of him.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Unexpectedly, killing Xiang Yu also completed the hidden task and rewarded the Supreme Edition of "Wuji Guiyuan, the First Chapter"!
This is a top-notch cultivation method worth 5000 Tiandao points! ! !
No!
What you can buy with 5000 Tiandao points is just the ordinary version of "Wuji Guiyuan, the First Chapter".
But now the reward is the Supreme Edition!
The difference between the ordinary version and the supreme version is huge, just like the difference between the beggar version and the high-end version of a car!
"I was right, Xiang Yu is worthy of being the big boss who destroyed Qin, and the explosion rate is high!!!" Chen Qilin was very excited.
He looked at the light ball flying in front of him.
I thought that there should be a book of exercises hidden inside.
What Chen Qilin didn't expect was that the light ball actually contained a crystal clear bead like a night pearl, flowing with soft brilliance.
[Ding! The supreme version of "Wuji Guiyuan, the first chapter" is a top-level cultivation method that seizes the creation of heaven and earth and shocks the ages. It contains special energy. Practitioners need to fuse and refine the beads of the exercises...]
After listening to the system's explanation, Chen Qilin became more and more excited.
