Han Xin is a legendary figure in ancient China
In the Liu and Xiang Chu-Han Wars
He "even a million people, the battle will be won, the attack will be won"
Demonstrated exceptional military talent
Han Xinbing's art has reached the level of exorientation
Many stories about him are widely circulated
For example, the darkness of the Chen Cang, the backwater array and so on
Qing Dynasty Fang Bao commented
"Sima Qian, among the generals of Hanxing, Describing Han Xin's use of soldiers alone, It is because the 'War of Faith' is not only Liu Xiangxing's death, And his soldiers are sufficient for the future generations of the Law. ”
In many classic cases of Han Xinbing
It is also the most representative of Han Xin's battle of Weishui against the Chu general LongHe

205 BC – 204 BC
The Chu-Han War entered a difficult phase of stalemate
Although Han Xin won a victory in the north
"Wading in the West River, the King of Wei, bird Xia said,
Lead the troops down to the well, Su Cheng An jun, Zhao Zhao, help Yan"
But Liu Bang on the frontal battlefield
Still threatened by Xiang Yu's main force
Defeated several times and stuck in trouble
Stills of Liu Bang
Qi, known as "Eastern Qin" at that time
It is a developed region that stands shoulder to shoulder with Guanzhong
Both the Duke of Qi Huan and the King of Qi Wei had achieved hegemony
Since the Chu-Han War, other regions have been ravaged by war
Qi Di, on the other hand, suffered less
It became the richest region at that time
At that time, Tian Guang, the King of Qi, had another 200,000 troops
It became the second most important force after Liu and Xiang
Add to that the importance of Qidi's strategic location
Who has qidi
The balance of victory will lean in favor of that side
Qi Wang Tian Guang stills
Therefore, Han Xin also ignored the fact that the King of Qi had been persuaded by Li Zhiqi
Taking advantage of the fact that the State of Qi was defenseless
Attacked the Li xia army of the State of Qi
Later, he attacked Linzi, the capital of the State of Qi
Qi Wang Tian Guang was annoyed and ashamed
It is believed that Li Shiqi has teased him
So he killed Liu Bang's first lobbyist, Li Yiqi
Qi Wang Tian Guang fled east to Gaomi
And sent someone to ask Xiang Yu for help
Xiang Yu then sent the general Long Ji to lead an army of 200,000 to support
The Chuqi coalition army was on the east bank of Weishui, and the Han army was on the west bank
The two armies stood by and watched

One day the dragon sent someone to write the battle book
Han Xin replied
"We are on the side of the mountain and the water, the venue is too small, You are facing the plains to the west, the field is wide, please retreat ten miles, Give up the place, tomorrow I cross the river to fight with you."
Long Ji saw the replying battle book and laughed
"Han Xin turned out to be a pawn of mine.
What is the wisdom of not being able to hold on to the sword?
In the past, the Wei Wangbao and Zhao Wang Xie he encountered were all waste,
Luckily let him win.
The victory over king Qi was also a conspiracy
His army is less than a third of ours
Again, some old, weak and disabled soldiers, who had never fought a trench war
This time we will win. ”
Dragon and stills
The next day, Han Xin led 50,000 elite soldiers to the river
At this time, the upper reaches of the Weihe River had been sent by Han Xin to build a dam overnight
The river had become shallower, less than a knee
After the Han army crossed the Weihe River, it took a position
After a cannon shot, the two armies began to fight
Han Xinjun was defeated by the dragon and fled across the river
The rise of the dragon and the killing also led the army across the river in pursuit
The dragon had just chased to shore
Suddenly, another cannon shot rang out
I saw that the head of the water upstream of Weishui was more than a foot high, and it was flowing downstream
Many Chu troops were swept away by the cold river water
The remaining Chu army was also divided into two sections
The dragon also led less than 10,000 people across the river
It was also attacked by Han Xin's army
The dragons were killed, and the others surrendered
Han Xin had already sent tens of thousands of elite people to cross the river the night before to hide
Wait until the signal sounds
These 10,000 elite soldiers quickly attacked Qi Wang Tian Guang, who was still stranded on the other side
So Tian Guang was captured and killed, and the Chu army surrendered
The Battle of Weishui is also a classic case of winning more with less
For Han Xin's military strategy
Zeng Guofan, a major minister of the Qing Dynasty, once said
"This meter cannot exist"
We have only written about this war in just over a hundred words
But it is very difficult to implement
Han Xin fully analyzed and used the time and place
The geographical advantage is that Han Xin made full use of Weishui and the weir in the water
Han Xin is very good at using river water
In the war to defeat Chen Yu's Jingxingkou
Han Xin ordered a battle against the water
Leave it to death and live again, and finally win
This time, Han Xin made full use of Weishui again
Defeated the 200,000 Chu army led by Long He
The riverbed of Weishui is not silt
It's stone
The riverbed is an extension of the nearby Bashan Mountain
The Qing Dynasty scholar Li Chengzhong recorded during a tour of HanxinBa
"Weishui's stony riverbed is not only suitable for damming, And suitable for water and fighting, It is not a river with a large flow, once upstream water, The downstream is relatively shallow, and even the flow is cut off, Ideal for military and horse-drawn carriage combat. ”
Tianshi is also the result of Han Xin's careful analysis and utilization
According to the Chronicle of History
"In November of the fourth year of Han, Han killed Han Xin and"
At that time, the Qin calendar was still used
November corresponds to december in today's solar calendar
That is, the weather was already very cold at that time
The river may have frozen thin ice
Han Xin used sandbags to water upstream
When the dragon and the army crossed the river, the riverbed was full of Chu troops
Suddenly, the icy water of the river rolled down with ice
The Chu army from the south had experienced such a taste
Their armor and clothes were soaked
People are also washed away directly
The combat effectiveness of the Chu army plummeted
The failure of Long Ji is inevitable
The river can withstand 100,000 troops
Not to mention the water mixed with ice
Finally, I would like to share a little story with you
Can you come up with an answer?
One day Han Xin went out
Two oil dealers were seen arguing on the street
Ask why
It turned out to be because of selling the remaining ten pounds of oil
Two people can't divide equally and argue
They have 3 kinds of oil dispensing tools
A 10 pound oil drum
A 7 kg oil bottle
A 3 pound oil gourd
Han Xin listened
After a moment's thought, I used these three tools to divide the oil into two parts
Average 5 pounds per serving
Can you guess how Han Xin is divided?
