Scene 1

(Four Han soldiers, Cao Sen, Ying Bu, Kong Xi, Chen He, Peng Yue, Wang Ling, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, and Chen Ping lead Han Xin to go up together.)

Han Xin (introduction) The operation of the tent, the command of the army, a piece of the heart will help the Han; ten ambushes in front of the nine-mile mountain, the decisive strategy, the gods and ghosts are out of this world.

(Reads) He is the commander-in-chief of the army, and his wisdom is superior to that of Sun-Wu. I'm ready to destroy Western Chu in one battle, and I'm looking forward to a great victory in the mountains and rivers.

(White) I am Han Xin. I have been ordered by my lord to lead the men to destroy Western Chu. I think our army since the commendation of the middle, between five years, and the king of Xiang personally more than seventy battles; laborers, thousands of painstaking. Now the king of Xiang is alone and weak, victory or defeat is here.

Chen Ping obeyed the order.

Chen Ping (Bai) is here.

Han Xin (Bai) Lead the men and cut off the Lord Xiang's way back, make no mistake.

Chen Ping (Bai) Ordered.

(Chen Ping goes down.)

Han Xin (Bai) Fan Kuai, listen to my order.

Fan Kuai (Bai) Yes.

Han Xin (Bai) Take charge of the big banner in the army.

Fan Kuai (Bai) Under orders.

Han Xin (Bai) All the generals and officers.

All the people (同白) Ah.

Han Xin (韩信) (白) Send troops to Jiu Li Mountain.

All the people (with white) are ordered to do so.

(Xiao Weiyan returned to the sign.) The people went down together. The people went down with him.)

Scene 2

(Open the door sign.) Four imperial guards, four small eunuchs and two big eunuchs lead Xiang Yu to the same place.)

XIANG YU (Pink Butterfly Cards) Great hero, invincible in the world.

It is a great hero who is unrivaled in the world.

It is a great hero who is unrivaled in the world.

It's a great honor for Xiang Yu to destroy Ying Qin and to restore Chu's land. The Chinese government has been trying to get rid of the Chinese people, but the Chinese people have been trying to get rid of the Chinese people, but the Chinese people have not been able to do so.

(White) I am Xiang Yu, the king of the world. I and Liu Bang, the Hongkou cut off the land, and peace and cease the war, sent back to the Duke, Lu's; I do not want him to renege on the alliance, and come back to look for a war. I ordered my spy horses to go and find out what happened, but I didn't see any return.

Xiang Bo (inside white) go wow!

(Xiang Bo on.)

Xiang Bo (西皮摇板) came to surrender on the back of the left chariot,

and presented this report to the holy and bright king.

(Bai) I, Xiang Bo, greet you, Your Majesty!

Xiang Yu (Bai) rise to the occasion.

Xiang Bo (Bai) Thousands of years!

Xiang Yu (Bai) What do you have to say?

Xiang Bo (Bai) 启大王:今有赵国谋臣李左车背汉来降,求臣引見,现在在殿外候旨。

Xiang Yu (Bai) Oh! I am short of strategists at this time, Li Zuo Che has come to surrender, which is a good thing for me. I am afraid that he is a fraudulent surrender.

Declare him to come to the temple, and wait for me to use words to explore his truth.

Xiang Bo (Bai) will receive the decree.

It is the king's order that Li Zuo Che come to the palace.

Li Zuoqi (Inner Bai) will receive the decree.

(Li Zuoqi went up to the palace.)

Li Zuo Che (reading) Boldly broke into the tiger's den, and led the dragon to the beach.

(White) Li Zuo Che, the minister, is here to see you, Your Majesty!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Appear.

Li Zuo Che (Bai) Thousands of years!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Li Zuo Che.

Li Zuo Che (Bai) Your Majesty.

Xiang Yu (Bai) I heard that you were a guest of Han Xin in Qi, but now you have suddenly turned your back on him and come to surrender, is it possible that you are practicing deception?

Li Zuo Che (Bai) Ah, Your Majesty!

Li Zuo Che (白白), the king of Zhao, when I assisted Zhao, the king of Zhao did not use my advice, but ordered Chen Yu to fight with Han Xin, and Han Xin chopped Chen Yu in the water of Hebei province. I had no place to stay, so I joined the army of Han Xin. After Han Xin was crowned King of Qi, he became proud of himself and made his own decisions on all plans. He was not listened to, and he did not follow the plans of those who were under his tent. Now I heard that the king is going to fight with Liu Bang, so I would like to join him to do the work of a dog and horse. How can I dare to commit fraud?

Xiang Yu (Bai) Hmph! When two countries are at war, there are a lot of fraudulent surrender; you come here today, must be to explore the truth of lone!

Li Zuo Che (Bai) Ah, your majesty is wrong. Chu camp, Han Xin has probed the report, not to wait for the minister to surrender fraudulently and then know. If the king is suspicious, I will be mistakenly joining my master, which is not clear, and I will be unwise if I have no support. It would be better to die before the Great King, so as to make clear the sign of my heart!

(Li Zuo Che wants to touch death.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) Wait!

(Laughs) hahaha ......

(White) I'm just playing with you. I have long heard of Mr. Guangwu's reputation, and at that time, I wanted to go to Zhao about to come, for lone planning; today really heart to return to the lone, lone when the night and day with Mr. to discuss the plan to break the Han.

Li Zuo Che (白) Your majesty will stay with me and I will die for your majesty.

Xiang Yu (项羽) (白白) Truly, he is a minister of the gods of earth and grain.

Yu Ziqi,

Zhou Lan (inside the same white) go wow!

(Yu Ziqi and Zhou Lan go up together.)

Yu Ziqi (虞子期) (西皮散板) The people of Huiji are leaving Wu County,

Zhou Lan (周兰) (西皮散板) Resisting the king's order is Zhou Yin.

Yu Ziqi and Zhou Lan (both in Chinese): "Your majesty, I am honored to see you!

Xiang Yu (Bai) The two ministers rise.

Yu Ziqi,

Zhou Lan (both white) Thousands of years!

XIANG YU (Bai) What do you have to say?

Zhou Lan (Bai) I'd like to apologize to the king: I ordered Li Ning to move troops to Huiji, and as soon as he saw the diatribe, he raised his troops on the same day to come and help in the battle. I ask the king to make a decision.

Xiang Yu (Bai) Ah! I have sworn to destroy this thief first and then break the Han Dynasty.

Xiang Bo (Bai) Wait a minute! Please think twice.

I Xiang Yu (Bai) Let me think about it.

(Zhong Li Mai on.)

Zhong Li Mai (Bai) Says to the king: Han Xin has posted a list of insults to the king; the details are copied here, please read it.

Xiang Yu (Bai) presented to me, to be watched:

(read) "Initiative will be the vassals, the first will be no way to collect. The hearts of the people are savory against Chu, and the will of heaven belongs to Yan Liu.

The day he died in Gaixia, the day he died in Peilou. The light of the sword was flaming and cut off the head of the king of Xiang."

(White) Wow, wow, wow!

(Xipi Scatterboard) Biting his teeth and scolding Han Xin,

Take the thieves and divide them by ten thousand knives.

(White) Ministers, for the sake of my decree: the immediate rise of troops to break the Han.

Zhou Lan (Bai) Wait! I QI your majesty: that Han Xin fear that your majesty does not move troops, so he made this crazy talk, in order to stimulate your majesty's anger. If you go out, you will fall into Han Xin's plan to lure troops. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

Xiang Yu (Bai), I think I have never been humiliated for a single day, but now I have been insulted by a man, and if I don't move my troops, I will be laughed at by all the vassals.

Yu Ziqi (Bai) I'd like to tell you: Han's soldiers are numerous, and Han Xin is very resourceful. In my humble opinion, we can only deep ditches and high barriers, do not send troops; wait for their army tired, His Majesty to wait for labor, drum troops and west, a battle can be won. So that Han Xin is not able to use its strategy, Zhang Liang is not able to decide its strategy; Xingyang, Chenggao is also within reach.

Xiang Yu (Bai) this ......

Li Zuo Che (Bai) ah, king, if you do not march, Han soldiers will attack Pengcheng; if you can not defend, then the king has no home to carry on. This is the plan to advance to battle and retreat to defense. It would be a mistake for the king to give up this good plan and stick to the defense!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Well! Mr. Xiang Yu (Bai): Well, Mr. Xiang Yu's words are very much in line with what I want.

The Ministers of the People's Republic of China have issued a decree that an army should be raised to break the Han Dynasty!

Yu Ziqi (Bai) Please think twice!

Xiang Yu (Bai) My mind is made up, so I don't need to talk too much.

That's right:

(Read) I'm sure I'll win if I get Mr. Yu today.

All of you (read) I'm going to raise an army to break the Han army.

(The people came down from both sides.)

Yu Ziqi (Bai) Wait! I think Li Zuo Che has come here with some fraudulent intentions, but the king's intention to send troops has been determined, and cannot be stopped, so what should we do? There is! I'll go to the harem and discuss with the Queen, or I can stop the King from sending troops, I don't know.

(Read) I can't go back to the Golden Palace, so I'll ask the Queen to persuade me again.

(Yu Ziqi went down.)

Scene 3

(Small open door sign. Eight court ladies with talismanic knots and fans lead Yu Ziqi to the same place.)

Yu Ji (introduction) In the golden wind, the drums and horns are desolate.

(Read) I remember since I entered the battlefield, I don't know how many stars and frosts I have gone through. I'm not sure how much time I've spent on this, but I'm not sure how much time I've spent on it.

(White) I am Yu Ji, the concubine of the King of Western Chu. Growing up in a deep bosom, young skillful in books and swords; since the king with the fixed, east and west war, difficult and hard. I don't know when I will get peace!

(Yu Ziqi on.)

Yu Ziqi (read) Busy general affairs, report with the mother know.

(White) Come here is already the harem, wait for me to knock ring.

The court lady (Bai) who knocked the ring?

Yu Ziqi (Bai) Yu Ziqi, please see me.

The palace maid (White) is waiting.

Yu Ziqi (White) Yes.

The palace maid (white) 启娘娘: Yu Ziqi is here to see you.

Yu Ji (White) Declare him to enter the palace.

The palace maid (White) Yes.

Yu Ziqi entered the palace.

Yu Ziqi (Bai) accepts the decree.

Subject, Yu Ziqi, see you, Your Highness!

Yu Ji (白) Get up.

Yu Ziqi (Bai) Thousands of years!

Yu Ji (Bai) Why are you in the palace?

Yu Ziqi (Bai) This ...... has many eyes and ears.

(Yu Ji to the court lady.)

Yu Ji (white) You and others to avoid.

Eight court ladies (with white) Yes.

(Eight court ladies from both sides.)

Yu Ji (Bai) What is the secret matter?

Yu Ziqi (Bai) I Qiyi Your Highness: Liu Bang, Han Xin, etc., leading a large army came to fight; our army is outnumbered, it is appropriate to deep ditch and high barricades to wait for the enemy. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get away with it, but I'm sure you'll be able to get away with it, and I'm sure you'll be able to get away with it, and I'm sure you'll be able to get away with it.

Yu Ji (白) Why don't the ministers advise against it?

Yu Ziqi (白) The ministers have repeatedly remonstrated, but they have not listened.

Yu Ji (Bai) What should we do?

Yu Ziqi (Bai) I would like to ask you to persuade the king not to send troops.

Yu Ji (白) In this case, I will leave you for a while. I will persuade the king when he returns to the palace.

Yu Ziqi (Bai) Thank you, ma'am.

(Yu Ziqi went down.)

Yu Ji (Bai) Wait! I have heard Ziqi's words, and it's not good for us to go to war. I am afraid that the king's temperament is so strong that he won't listen to his advice, and I am afraid that he will be defeated by the Han soldiers in the long run. I've been thinking about it, and I'm not worried about it!

(The eight court ladies are on the same page.)

Yu Ji (虞姬) (西皮散板) The Great Prince is a strong man,

and he refuses to listen to his words of advice;

he is afraid of being annexed by the Western Chu, and he has failed to live up to his reputation for bravery.

(Four imperial guards and two eunuchs lead Xiang Yu to the same place.)

Xiang Yu (西皮散板) Now that Li Zuo Che has been honored by the state of Chu,

I went to the harem to discuss with his consort about sending troops.

Yu Ji (Bai) Ah, my lord!

Xiang Yu (Bai) concubine!

(Four imperial guards and two eunuchs secretly go down.)

Yu Ji (Bai), my concubine is here to greet you, my lord!

Xiang Yu (Bai) concubine flat.

Yu Ji (Bai) thousand thousand years!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Give me a seat.

Yu Ji (Bai) thank you.

XIANG YU (白) can be annoyed, can be annoyed!

Yu Ji (Bai) Your Majesty, why are you so annoyed when you return to the palace today?

HUANG YU (Bai) Your wife does not know that Liu Bang and his vassals have gathered troops to fight with me, and many posters have been sent out to slander my king. You can tell if you are annoyed or not!

Yu Ji (white) the king should be deep ditch and high barriers, waiting for help. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be outnumbered and fall into other people's trap.

I Xiang Yu (Bai) thinks that Liu Bang is capricious and Han Xin is treacherous. I'm going to capture him alive and destroy Liu Bang, so that I can get rid of the hatred I have in my heart!

Yu Ji (white) the way to use the army, the most important thing is to know yourself and know your enemy; if you can't control yourself in a moment of anger, I'm afraid that Han's army is powerful, and Han Xin is very resourceful, which is not a blessing for the king. In my opinion, we should only hold fast and not move lightly. The king should think twice!

Xiang Yu (white) concubine's words are reasonable, if I do not send troops, will not be the lords laugh at me!

Yu Ji (Bai) a true warrior is a great man when he is able to yield and reach out, and he is afraid of being laughed at by others!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Hey--? I'm not going to return if I don't destroy the Han Dynasty. I will not return if I don't destroy Han.

Yu Ji (Bai) The king's heart has been decided, concubine consort does not dare to say more. In this case, when will the troops be sent?

Xiang Yu (白) Tomorrow. I'm going with you, Concubine.

Yu Ji (Bai) will accept the order. I wish you all the best in your endeavors. I will prepare some wine in the harem and drink it with you.

Xiang Yu (Bai) Thank you, Your Highness!

(Xipi Scatterboard) I hope that I can win a victory on this trip.

Yu Ji (Xipi Scatterboard) Destroy Liu Bang and capture Han Xin*** to enjoy peace.

(All of you go down together.)

Scene 4

What is the reason for breaking the banner?

(Xipi Scattered Panels) Shaking all over his body and hissing in battle.

(White) The centaurs and horses are withdrawn!

(All the men return together.)

The crowd (同白) Why did Your Majesty withdraw the centaurs?

Xiang Yu (Bai) When I set out, the wind broke the banners and the horses were neighing.

Zhou Lan (周兰) (白) I'd like to tell you, your majesty, that a broken flag and a roaring horse are not good for the army.

(Xiang Yu is not convinced.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) Ai! The king of Zhou died with the first son, and the king of Wu rose with the first son; why check on him but not on this! I think this flag folded horse roar, and marching what?

Yu Ji (white) concubine enlighten the king: Zhou Qing is the king's loyal subjects, the words can not be ignored. Today, we must follow the advice and accept the loyalty, which is really a blessing.

Xiang Yu (Bai) this ......

Li Zuo Che (Bai) ah, the king, must not retreat. I heard that the Han army is short of food, and once your army is here, they will be disorganized without a fight, so you can't lose this opportunity.

Xiang Yu (Bai) Well! Mr. Li's words are very much in line with what I want to do, so pass on the order for me: a large group of people will go to Pei County.

Li Zuo Che (白) will go to Pei County!

(All the people went down together. Li Zuo Che secretly returned.)

(The scout went down.)

I Xiang Yu (Bai) Ah! The scouts report that Han Xin's army is strong and well-fed, while Li Zuo Che says that the Han army is short of food. He has come here, so there is no possibility of deception!

Yu Ji (Bai) called Li Zuo Che to ask him.

Xiang Yu (Bai) Li Zuo Che has entered the tent.

Xiang Bo (Bai) Li Zuo Che, Li Zuo Che!

It is my pleasure to inform you that Li Zuo Che has disappeared.

Xiang Yu (Bai) A good thief!

(Xipi Scatterboard) Li Zuo Che has come here to commit treachery.

(Bai) Xiang Bo!

(Xipi Scatterboard) How can you escape the crime of misrepresentation?

(White) 唗! How dare you, Xiang Bo, introduce Li Zuo Che without examining his background; you're to blame for the mistake.

Xiang Bo (Bai) I Kai the king: Li Zuo Che came to surrender fraudulently, I mistakenly recommended his people, the real minister's sin; please forgive the king.

I hate the fact that the Qin Dynasty is killing the people,

and that the people are suffering so much.

(Four imperial guards and two eunuchs lead Xiang Yu to the same place.)

Yu Ji (Bai) Ah, Your Majesty!

Xiang Yu (西皮散板) This has caused you a lot of panic.

Yu Ji (Bai) Ah, my lord, what is the outcome of today's battle?

Xiang Yu (Bai) Alas! I have to go to the hospital, but I don't want to go to the hospital. But we are outnumbered by the enemy, so it is difficult to win. This is the death of my Chu. I'm sorry, but it's not a crime to fight!

Yu Ji (Bai) soldiers win or lose, is common sense, why worry. I've got some wine, so I'll drink a few cups of it with you, my lord, to ease your boredom.

Xiang Yu (白) Thank you, Your Highness!

(Yu Ji turns to the court lady.)

Yu Ji (White) Look at the wine!

Eight court ladies (同白) Yes.

Xiang Yu (西皮原板) Xiang Yu has returned from the battle today in a state of uncertainty.

Xiang Yu (西皮原板) How can we help him to meet the enemy on all sides?

Yu Ji (虞姬) (西皮原板) Let's be patient and wait for help.

Xiang Yu (白皮原板) Alas!

(Xipi original board) I can't help but drink the agar to relieve my sorrows,

Yu Ji (Bai) Your Majesty!

(Xipi Shaking Board) Since ancient times, it is common for soldiers to win or lose.

(Xiang Yu stretches his arms.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) Well!

Yu Ji (Bai) Your majesty is tired, how about resting in the tent for a while?

Xiang Yu (Bai) concubine you have to be vigilant.

Yu Ji (Bai) Yes, sir.

You and the others retire.

The eight ladies of the palace (together) Yes.

(Xiang Yu enters the tent, the eight court ladies from both sides. The first shift. Yu Ji goes out of the tent with a lamp, and enters the tent. The four night watchmen come up from both sides, make their rounds, and come down from both sides. Start the second shift.)

Yu Ji (White) Seeing that the king is lying drunk in his tent, I cannot help but go and take a stroll outside the tent!

(Southern clappers) Seeing that the king is sleeping soundly in his tent with his clothes on,

I will go out of the tent to dispel my sorrows.

It's time for me to go out to the countryside and stand in front of you.

It's time for me to look up and see the moon in the blue sky.

(White) Look at the clouds converge clear sky, ice wheel first surge, a good clear autumn scenery.

The soldiers (inside the same white) bitter wow!

Yu Ji (Bai) The moonlight is good, but the sound of sadness in all directions is miserable! The only reason for this is that the Qin King is so ruthless that he has raised all kinds of weapons and charred the people; he has made those innocent people leave their parents and wives and abandon their children, so how can I teach people not to hate them?

(Read) What is the matter with the heroes of the past, and what is the matter with them, and what is the matter with them?

(Starting the third shift. The fourth watchman is on the same watch.)

Shiftman A (White) Guys, do you hear me?

All the night watchmen (together) Hear what?

Guard A (White) The songs sung by the enemy on all sides have the same flavor as our hometown's. What's going on?

All the night watchmen (together) Yes, I don't understand what's going on.

Shiftman A (White) I understand, it must be because Liu Bang has occupied Chu, and the soldiers are all from our hometown; therefore, they sing in our hometown's accent; don't you think so?

Shiftman B (white) Yes. The first is the one that is not in the center of the country!

Guard C (white) No, our great master has an idea.

Guard D (White) Come on, what do you have in mind? He has no idea but to drink wine every day.

Guard A (White) Yes, you are right. Our king's words of advice have gone against his ears and his eyes have failed to recognize people; he has trusted Li Zuo Che and lured the wolf into the house, thus falling into the trap of other people's army; and now he is trapped in Gaixia, hoping every day that the Chu soldiers will come to rescue him. However, Liu Bang has gained the land of Chu again, and his backing is cut off, how can this be?

(Yu Ji overheard.)

Manager B (Bai) I think we should disperse and go to our own country.

Guard A (white) Ai, don't talk nonsense!

The first time I saw you, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night!

All the night watchmen (in the same breath) walked, walked!

(Starting the fourth shift. The night watchmen went down together.)

Yu Ji (Bai) Alas, wait! I was listening to the soldiers talking about how they were all scattered because help was not forthcoming. I'm afraid that the situation is over! I'm afraid that the situation is gone!

(South clapper) I heard the soldiers talking about it, and

they all said that they were scattered.

The Han soldiers (inside the same song) will not return to their fields,

They will not return to their fields,

They will not return to their fields,

Who are they doing this for?

Yu Ji (Bai) Ya!

(Xipi shaking plate) I am alone here thinking to myself,

and I heard the song of Chu inside the enemy camp.

(White) Alas, wait! I think there is something strange going on here. I think there must be something strange about this, so I'll go into the tent and report it to the king.

Ah, the king is awake, the king is awake!

(Xiang Yu came out of his tent and was shocked.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) Ah?

Yu Ji (Bai) My concubine is here.

Xiang Yu (Bai) concubine, why panic?

Yu Ji (Bai) just now was walking outside the camp, suddenly heard the enemy fortress, even Chu singing. I don't know why!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Ah? I don't know what's going on!

Yu Ji (Bai) Exactly.

I Xiang Yu (Bai) Wait for me to hear it.

Yu Ji (Bai) Please, Your Majesty.

The Han soldiers (inside the same song) The warriors on the sand field are not afraid of life and death,

Ten years of fighting, how many people have returned!

I Xiang Yu (Bai) Wow, wow, wow!

Consort! There are songs of Chu on all sides, could it be that Liu Bang has already won the Chu land?

Yu Ji (Bai) don't be alarmed, send someone to inquire in all directions to understand, and then make a plan.

Xiang Yu (Bai) is right.

Where are the servants?

Yu Ji (白) Where are the servants?

(The two eunuchs went up together.)

The two eunuchs (both white) See you, my lord, what do you want?

Xiang Yu (White) There are songs of Chu on all sides, so tell them to go down and report back quickly.

The two eunuchs (both white) receive the order.

(The two eunuchs went down together.)

I Xiang Yu (Bai) Hey! I think there is something strange about this.

Yu Ji (Bai) Wait for the servant to report.

(The two eunuchs went up together.)

The two eunuchs (together) report to the king: in the enemy's camp, there is indeed the sound of Chu singing, so I've come to report.

I Xiang Yu (Bai) will report back again after probing in detail.

The two eunuchs (together) receive the decree.

(The two eunuchs went down together.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) concubine! The enemy army is mostly Chu people, must be Liu Bang has already won the Chu land; lone great momentum is gone!

Yu Ji (Bai) at this time to deer in the Central Plains, the group of male and female; occasional unfavorable, is also common. I will wait for the arrival of Jiangdong's rescue troops, and then I will fight with the enemy again, and I don't know who will be the winner!

Xiang Yu (Bai) concubine ah, how do you know! In the former case, all heroes fought on their own, and my family could extinguish one and occupy another. Now, the people of all walks of life, all together and attack; this Gaixia soldiers less food, all can not defend; eight thousand soldiers, although fierce and brave, how can they all have been scattered; lone this time to send troops to fight with the thieves, it is difficult to determine the victory or defeat. Aiya, consort ah! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it," he said!

(Two eunuchs from both sides of the dark points on.)

Xiang Yu (西皮散板) Ten years of love and affection,

I see that I am about to be separated from you.

(Horse neighs.)

I Xiang Yu (Bai) Ah, this is the neighing of my piebald horse.

Come, ②

The eunuch (white) there.

Xiang Yu (Bai) brought up the horses.

The eunuch (White) Yes.

(The eunuch leads the horse.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) Wu Zhui, Wu Zhui! You've followed me on all my battles, and you've won a hundred of them. Today is trapped in Gaixia, is you ...... alas! There is no use for you!

(Xipi Scatterboard) The piebald horse knows that the situation is over,

So it roared and hissed in the stable!

(Two eunuchs led the horses down.)

Yu Ji (白)啊大王,好在垓下地,高岗绝岩,不易攻入;候得機會,再图破围求救,也还没遲呀!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Alas!

(Yu Ji forced a smile.)

Yu Ji (Bai) Oh, I have some wine, let's drink a few more cups with you!

Xiang Yu (Bai) So, here is the wine!

Yu Ji (Bai) Please, Your Majesty.

(Blowing) Xiang Yu and Yu Ji are seated together.)

Yu Ji (Bai) Please, Your Majesty!

(Three gun cards in a hurry.) Xiang Yu and Yu Ji drink wine together. Xiang Yu throws his cup.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) Ahem! I want to think of me, Xiang Yu!

(Singing) "The time is unfavorable, but my piebald will not pass away", "What can I do if my piebald does not pass away", "What can I do if my piebald does not pass away", "What can I do if my piebald does not pass away", "What can I do if my piebald does not pass away", "What can I do if my piebald does not pass away"!

Yu Ji (Bai) Your majesty's song is so generous that it brings tears to our eyes. How about a song and dance by my concubine to relieve your worries?

Xiang Yu (Bai) Alas! I am grateful to you, Concubine!

Yu Ji (白)这样,妾妃出丑了!

(Xiang Yu stares at Yu Ji. Yu Ji is calm, avoids Xiang Yu's gaze, and dances with her sword.)

Yu Ji (西皮二六板) advises the king to drink wine and listen to the song of Yu,

relieves the king's sorrow and dances.

Ying Qin has broken the kingdom of China, and the heroes are fighting on all sides.

The old saying is true,

Success or failure is a matter of moments.

Drinking wine and sitting in the treasure tent--

(Deep night sign. Yu Ji dances with a sword. Xiang Yu smiles bitterly.)

Xiang Yu (Laughing) Ahahaha ......

(The two eunuchs go up together.)

The two eunuchs (in the same breath) greeted the king: the enemy's men and horses are coming to attack in four directions.

Xiang Yu (Bai) Tell the generals to meet the enemy in four different directions.

The two eunuchs (together) receive the order.

(The two eunuchs went down together)

Xiang Yu (Bai) consort ah! The enemy soldiers are attacking from four directions, quickly follow me to kill the siege.

Yu Ji (Bai), my lord, I won't drag you into this! If we are not in a good position, we should retreat to Jiangdong and make further plans for the future. I would like to cut my own throat with the sword at your waist, so that I won't be missed!

Xiang Yu (white) this ...... concubine you ...... can not seek this short death.

Yu Ji (Bai) Alas, the king ah!

(Singing) The Han soldiers have already taken over the land,

Chu songs are being sung on all sides.

The king's spirit is gone,

What can a lowly concubine do?

XIANG YU (Bai) wow, wow, wow, wow ......

(Inner shouting. Yu Ji was shocked and asked Xiang Yu for his sword, but Xiang Yu refused to give it to her.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) can not, can not, can not do this short-term!

(Yu Ji said wisely.)

Yu Ji (Bai) Your majesty, the Han soldiers he ...... killed in!

Xiang Yu (Bai) Wait for me to see.

(Yu Ji took the opportunity to pull out Xiang Yu's sword.)

Yu Ji (Bai) Strike!

(Yu Ji cuts her own throat and dies.) The four imperial guards go up together.)

I Xiang Yu (Bai) Oops!

Bring your horses!

(The four imperial guards and Xiang Yu go down together.)

Scene 9

(Eight Han generals go up, cross the stage, and go down together.)

Xiang Yu (内西皮导板) Battling hard for several days, the hunger is hard to bear.

(Xiang Yu goes up, a Han general catches up with him, and is stabbed to death by Xiang Yu's spear)

Xiang Yu (西皮散板) The water and grass of Wu Zhui have not touched his lips.

(White) Hold on! There are pursuers behind us and a big river in front of us, what should we do?

Min Ziqi (Inner Bai) Sail the boat!

(Min Ziqi, dressed as a fisherman, rocked the boat.)

Min Ziqi (西皮摇板) He received the marshal's order in the tent,

and went to the river to ambush him.

(White) See you, my lord. The pursuers have arrived, get on the boat quickly.

Xiang Yu (Bai) My family has suffered a great defeat, how can I face to see the father and mother of Jiangdong. I will send my horse across the river and let it go.

(Xiang Yu releases his horse, Min Ziqi catches the horse, and the horse jumps into the river. Min Ziqi goes down darkly.)

Xiang Yu (Bai) Oops!

(The horse knows that he loves his master, and he's a good fighter.

It's a shame that he's so ungrateful and ungrateful.

(Lv Ma Tong went up.)

Lv Ma Tong (Bai) See you, my lord.

Xiang Yu (Bai) General Lv has come at the right time, Liu Bang has a reward for the first time, the person who gets the head of me will be rewarded with a thousand gold. I will cut off the head of the general and ask him to accept the reward.

Lu Matong (Bai) I would not dare.

Xiang Yu (Bai) Oops, General!

(Xipi Scatterboard) The 8,000 sons and daughters have all been dispersed,

Wujiang River has a crossing and I can't make it.

How can I see my father and mother in Jiangdong?

(White) Strike!

(Xipi Scatterboard) It's better to die than to live on.

(Xiang Yu cuts his own throat and dies. All Han generals and Liu Bang go up together.)

Lu Ma Tong (吕马童) Xiang Yu is dead.

Liu Bang (White) Retreat!

(The end. All the people go down together.)

(End)
