The first is guilt, and I feel ashamed of my elders in Jiangdong. It turned out that at that time, most of the troops led by Xiang Yu were from their hometown. At that time, everyone was full of expectations. When they put their sons and husbands' lives in Xiang Yu's hands, they were looking forward to the moment when their loved ones returned home in glory. They were thinking that Xiang Yu would lead everyone to destroy the Qin Dynasty and set up a new regime to give everyone a stable and prosperous life. However, with this decisive battle with Liu Bang, Xiang Yu's strength was greatly damaged. If he goes back to Jiangdong, he is bound to face inquiries from his elders in Jiangdong and disappointed eyes. I can't forgive myself for not protecting my subordinates. With this stop, there are only twenty people around me. Xiang Yu thought of here, although he felt unwilling, but he was helpless.
Secondly, Xiang Yu himself is superstitious and believes in fate. After breaking out from Liu Bang, Xiang Yu once got lost when he fled all the way. Fortunately, I ran into a fellow villager and wanted to rely on his directions to get a chance, but I never thought that his directions were wrong, which eventually led to Liu Bang's army catching up with Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu thought of this, thinking that it was probably God who wanted to destroy him, otherwise how could it suddenly change so much? Thought of here, Xiang Yu was extremely disappointed, so he drew his sword and committed suicide.
Thirdly, Xiang Yu wanted to end the war early and eliminate the suffering of the people caused by the war.
According to the Records of Historical Records, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were deadlocked, Xiang Yu once said to Liu Bang: "The Huns in the world are long-lived, and they are willing to challenge Hanwang, and they are not willing to suffer from the people of the world."
That is to say, Xiang Yu wants to fight it out through a duel between two people, and don't let the people in the world suffer any more. It can be seen that Xiang Yu does have feelings of pity for the whole world. Therefore, when he later fled to the banks of the Wujiang River, he thought that he would make a comeback after crossing the river and conduct another Chu-Han war, which would bring greater disasters to the people, so he chose to commit suicide and return the world to peace.
Most of Xiang Yu's experiences in this life have been smooth, and the only setback should be this decisive battle with Liu Bang. Although Xiang Yu felt ashamed to face his elders in Jiangdong and thought that God wanted him dead, he chose to solve his own life. However, it is hard to guess God's will. Before Xiang Yu reached the final desperate situation, he felt that it was the fate arranged by God. Perhaps Xiang Yu never thought that his previous road to arise was too smooth, and a little frustration could not bear it. He also felt that it was arranged by God. However, Xiang Yu can still be called a hero among the soldiers who destroyed the Qin Dynasty.
