Embattled is a classic idiom of China, which is used to describe the plight of being in danger and isolated. The idiom "Embattled" comes from Records of the Historian Xiang Yu's Biography, which describes that "Wang Jun was backward, serenaded and ate, and the Han army and the vassal soldiers surrounded it. At night, I heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides. Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Did the Han army capture Chu?" ? He Chu is crowded. "It was the first world war between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu at the end of Chu-Han hegemony in 220 AD, which directly decided that Liu Bang unified the whole country and established the Han Dynasty.
The record of being besieged on all sides in Historical Records of Xiang Yu is only literal. This paper describes the situation of the war in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province. Liu Bang, who besieged Xiang Yu's army at that time, used psychological warfare to make soldiers sing folk songs of Chu State to shake Xiang Yu's morale. Sure enough, Xiang Yu heard Chu folk songs outside the camp, thinking that Liu Bang had surrendered all around him, and his confidence increased greatly. When he fled to Wujiang River, he was faced with pursuers, waves and rivers in front of him. Xiang Yu felt extremely depressed. He remembered his ambition when he bid farewell to his elders in Jiangdong and crossed the Wujiang River, and he sang for hegemony all the way. Suddenly, his heart failed and he committed suicide. After the victory of the next world war, Liu Bang's wish to unify the whole country came true.
What battle did the embattled allusion come from? It was this battle that decided the fate of Chu-Han hegemony. With the fall of the overlord of the West Chu, the eternal truth can only be handed down, and only the sporadic deeds about the overlord of the West Chu recorded by historians.
Brief introduction to the story of Fortress Besieged
The story of being besieged on all sides first came from Historical Records of Xiang Yu, which recorded that "Wang Jun was under the wall, serenading his food, and the number of princes and soldiers in the Han army was heavy." At night, I heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides. Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Did the Han army capture Chu?" ? He Chu has so many people. "In 220 BC, during the hegemony of Chu and Han, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang competed for the world. In the last battle, Xiang Yu was under siege.
Many years before the embattled incident, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had already agreed to take the east-west boundary of Jia Luhe, Rongxian County, Henan Province as the dividing line between them, which was divided into two parts and non-aggression. But later, Xiang Yu's influence weakened, and Liu Bang was persuaded by his advisers to destroy him when Xiang Yu declined and unify him. So Liu Bang sent troops to besiege Xiang Yu and drove his troops to the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province, which was the famous one. Xiang Yu's troops were beaten to pieces, morale was low and materials were in short supply. At night, when he heard that the Republic of Chu was coming from the besieged army of Liu Bang, he was frightened and mistakenly thought that Liu Bang had conquered Chu. This is the true meaning of being under siege.
Xiang Yu was disheartened and fled all the way to the bank of Wujiang River, where he committed suicide. In the Song Dynasty, Li Qingzhao once wrote a poem about Xiang Yu, saying, "To be an outstanding person, to die a ghost hero, I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong". At that time, Xiang Yu's subordinates advised Xiang Yu to cross the Wujiang River and make a comeback. The world is not necessarily Liu Bang's, but Xiang Yu is ashamed to face his elders in Jiangdong.
Since then, people under siege have been used to describe people who are desperate, isolated and extremely adventurous. The story under siege, because of the tragic color of the western hegemon, has vivid expressive force and becomes a classic idiom.
Tell me why Xiang Yu is under siege.
Embattled, as a classic story idiom, originated from the biographical records of historian Xiang Yu. "Wang Jun under the wall, serenaded food, han army, vassal soldiers. At night, I heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides. Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Did the Han army capture Chu?" ? He Chu is crowded. Here Sima Qian described the situation of the war by line drawing, and being besieged on all sides was literally understood, but in later applications, the symbolic meaning of being besieged on all sides was more extensive and practical, describing the difficult and isolated situation.
As for why Xiang Yu fell into the embattled situation, we have to start with the character. It is said that personality determines fate. This is the eternal truth. Xiang Yu is a talented person who thinks too highly of himself and is headstrong. This has something to do with his background. Xiang's family is a noble of Chu and his father is a general of Chu. Xiang Yu received strict military education and aristocratic education from an early age, and his own conditions were also very good. It is said that he is brave, born noble and talented, Xiang Yu is destined to be superior, and his conceit is not difficult to understand, which is also the fatal gap between him and Liu Bang. Liu Bang was born at the grass-roots level and had a strong market spirit, which was very important for Liu Bang to win the hearts of the people later, and Liu Bang's birth could win the support of the broad masses of ordinary people in society.
Therefore, why Xiang Yu is besieged on all sides has a lot to do with his own personality. Moreover, in the battle of Gaixia, he was defeated and fled the Wujiang River. If he were Liu Bang, he might cross the Wujiang River in an attempt to make a comeback. But for the conceited Xiang Yu, the despair of failure hit his confidence. He would rather commit suicide than endure it. This is really sad and regrettable. This is in this world.
Who made the embattled plan in history?
Embattled, is used to describe the critical situation, the plight of the helpless, this famous idiom, from the Records of the Historian Xiang Yu's Biography, records, "a Wang Jun wall, serenade food, surrounded by the Han army and the vassal soldiers. At night, I heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides. Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Did the Han army capture Chu?" ? He Chu is crowded. ",this is a scene describing the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, and being besieged on all sides is a psychological war displayed by Liu Bang.
Who is trapped outside the plan? According to historical research, the siege should be the plan of Sean, Liu Bang's counselor. As we all know, Sean is extremely clever. He was originally a Confucian, and he was eager to learn and know a hundred schools of thought. Naturally, he also dabbled in the art of war. In the battle of the Beggars' Sect, I learned about Xiang Yu's character shortcomings. He speculated that Xiang Yu's last hope was. It is not difficult for Xiang Yu to commit suicide without fleeing back to Jiangdong. Therefore, Liu Bang adopted Sean's plan and made the besieged Xiang Yu army sing the songs of Chu. Sure enough, as Zhang Liang expected, Xiang Yu thought that Jiangdong had been surrendered by Liu Bang after hearing Chu folk songs coming from all directions. He knew that he could no longer dominate the world. Xiang Yu's ambition was also hit very low in the battle, and he was hit by all sides. Desperate, he fled to Wujiang River and took Jiangdong as his hometown. He was even more ashamed to face the elders in Jiangdong and committed suicide with his sword. As a result, a generation of lean men were defeated by tricks under heavy encirclement. Therefore, self-confidence is very important to a person, and the most powerful harm to a person is to hit his self-confidence. Sean knows this, which is more useful for a conceited person. Xiang Yu is.
Who is the hero of the ancient idiom besieged on all sides?
Who is the hero in Fortress Besieged? Xiang Yu, the famous overlord of the place of Chu, was attacked on all sides. This story is really classic. Even though it has been circulating for more than 1000 years, this idiom is still in use now. Used to describe a person who is isolated and helpless and whose life and death are hanging by a thread.
The earliest source of embattled, according to Records of Historical Records of Xiang Yu, "Wang Jun's wall fell, the food was serenaded, and the Han army and vassal soldiers were heavy. At night, I heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides. Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Did the Han army capture Chu?" ? He Chu is crowded. "。 This is Sima Qian's description of the battle under siege. Actually, it means besieged on all sides. This is the last battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu for the world. Liu bang's army besieged Xiang Yu's army layer by layer, and used psychological tactics to make soldiers sing Chu folk songs in an attempt to shake Xiang Yu's morale. This move really worked, which not only shook the morale of the Chu army, but also seriously dealt a blow to Xiang Yu's morale. Overnight, he led only 800 troops to the Wujiang River. Subordinate advised him to cross the river, Xiang Yu felt ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong and died by committing suicide. A generation of lean men died, alas, later generations used embattled to describe people as desperate and the situation was very critical. Because of the personal deeds of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, Embarrassed on All sides is of epic significance and has become a classic idiom.
Who is the hero in Fortress Besieged? Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu State besieged by Liu Bang, has too many stories about him. As a loser, he is always easy to cause everyone to sigh. In the Song Dynasty, Li Qingzhao also wrote a poem about Xiang Yu, "Be a hero when you are born, and a hero when you die. You still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong".
The embattled history happened in that historical period.
Embattled on all sides, China's classic idiom story comes from Records of the Historian Xiang Yu's Biography, which records that "Wang Jun fell on the city wall, serenaded his food, and the Han army had a heavy number of princes and soldiers." At night, I heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides. Wang Xiang was shocked and said, "Did the Han army capture Chu?" ? He Chu is crowded. In the battle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Liu Bang attacked the remaining beliefs in Xiang Yu's heart with embattled tactics, which eventually led to Xiang Yu's sword suicide.
Embattled happened in that historical period. It can be inferred from Historical Records of Xiang Yu that the besieged city occurred in the period of hegemony between Chu and Han, and the specific period of the Gaixia War should be in 220 BC. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, people were in dire straits, domestic life was ruined, and peasant uprisings broke out one after another, wave after wave, and it didn't develop until around 220 BC. Before the besieged Battle of Gaixia started, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu agreed that Jia Luhe, now Rong County, Henan Province, would be the boundary, and they would not invade each other and go their separate ways. Only later, the situation changed, and Liu Bang's advisers proposed to destroy Xiang Yu when his strength was weak, so why not divide the world separately? So Liu Bang led his troops to attack Xiang Yu and launched a life-and-death war in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province.
Facing the siege of Liu Bang's army, Xiang Yu's soldiers were not only lax in discipline, but also demoralized. Then he was ambushed by Liu Bang and sang the folk songs of Chu at night. When a familiar local accent came, all the audience cried. Facing the embattled Xiang Yu, he broke through to Wujiang overnight with the defeated troops. At this point, there is no way to go, disheartened and drawn. Embattled on all sides has also been extended into a classic idiom story with the end of the overlord of the West Chu. Embattled happened in that historical period, and it was a storm that made the winner and defeated the enemy. The eternal truth and the heroes who suffered again will be submerged in the long river of history.
