After the Battle of Gaixia, the Chu Army's elite forces were completely lost. Xiang Yu had only twenty-eight cavalrymen left by his side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Han Army Liu Bang assembled numbered in the hundreds of thousands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After crossing the river, the troops Xiang Yu could muster in Jiangdong within a short time would not exceed thirty thousand, mostly untrained recruits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Militarily, this is no different from using an egg to strike a rock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, the supply lines. In the later stages of the Chu-Han Contention, the grain-producing regions of the Guanzhong Region and the Central Plains were already firmly controlled by Liu Bang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if Xiang Yu returned to Jiangdong, he would face the desperate situation of having no grain to requisition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"War is fought on logistics. Without supplies, the army would inevitably descend into internal strife within three months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, and most crucially, Xiang Yu's own character flaws.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci's gaze swept across the hall. The fans holding high their \"Cross the River\" signs had already stiffened somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiang Yu was a noble of the old era. His pride and self-respect were the source of his strength, but also the root of his destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For him to admit defeat like Liu Bang, endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and start over from scratch, that would be more painful than killing him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, even if he crossed the Wu River, when facing the questioning and disappointment of the elders of Jiangdong,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"he would still choose to use death to defend his final shred of dignity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci paused briefly, delivering the final verdict. \"Crossing the river would still mean death. Moreover, he would die more ignominiously, with even less dignity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This analysis, cold to the point of ruthlessness, dissected all the fans' unrealistic fantasies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>placing the bloody reality squarely before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fans looked at each other, their raised signs appearing so powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could have imagined that their wholehearted \"rescue operation\" would be so thoroughly terminated by the subject himself in such a hardcore manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unexpectedly, chaos did not erupt on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, someone couldn't help but laugh first. Immediately, the entire screening hall erupted into a kind of helpless, yet good-natured, roar of laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, that's so you, Ci-ge! So seriously shattering all our illusions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though heartbroken, why do I inexplicably find this adorable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of 'I may break your heart but it's for your own good' straight guy behavior, I'm actually shipping it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere of the roadshow, in a strange kind of harmony, was about to conclude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host, wiping the sweat from his temples, walked onto the stage again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Teacher Jiang Ci, for the wonderful analysis you brought us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled mysteriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although from a historical perspective, we couldn't rewrite the Hegemon's ending.
