When people read about Chu and Han, they can't avoid the solemn and solemn sigh by the Wujiang River. We remember the sharp edge of the giant deer that broke the cauldron and the boat, and the legend of Pengcheng's thirty thousand breaking five hundred and sixty thousand. We also remember the hesitation of the Hongmen Banquet, Cheng Gao's miscalculation, the stubbornness of Yafu who was so angry, and the shame that none of the eight thousand children could survive. In the end, he drew his sword and killed himself, summing up the victory or defeat of his life with the sentence "God will kill me."
But in the wind of Wujiang River, is there really only reluctance and no regrets?
Will he regret that he attacked Xingyang but allowed the food route to be cut off? Regret that he forced Yingbu to rebel, silenced Tian Heng, and was surrounded by enemies on all sides? Do you regret not listening to your father and letting go of your life-long enemy? Do you regret using the courage of an ordinary man to lose the expectations of the entire Jiangdong?
Hence this story.
When Wu Jiang's sword cut his neck, he woke up from the bloody end and returned to May of the second year of the Han Dynasty, on the eve of the Battle of Chenggao. He is still the overlord of Western Chu who can carry a cauldron, but he carries a whole memory of defeat and death in his arms, and with all the regrets and realizations, he stands at the biggest crossroads in life.
This time, he is no longer a fierce general who only knows how to charge into battle. He saw clearly Liu Bang's cunning, understood the weight of food supply and people's hearts, understood the significance of alliances and strategies - and also understood that what he lost in the world was never combat power, but pattern.
We will not rewrite the background of history, but only deduce one possibility:
When bravery blends with strategy, when stubbornness is smoothed away by regret, can Xiang Yu, who has returned from the bloody road of Wujiang River, make up for all his regrets, let the voice of Chu resound throughout the Central Plains, and write a different legend of the Overlord?
The story starts from now on.
