The military genius Han Xin was stabbed to death by the palace maid with a bamboo pole, leaving two idioms that have been passed down to this day
Han Xin is a remarkable and prominent figure in the history of our country, he is an important hero who helped Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu and win the Han Dynasty, and he is also an important figure who influences history. There are more than 80 idioms and sayings related to Han Xin that have been passed down in later generations, and these idioms and sayings span 2,000 years of historical time and space, and still circulate in the mouths of modern people, such as: Huaiyin Youth, Qianjin Yiyi, Hanzhong Gao pair, Undressing and Pushing Food, Ming Xiu Zhan Dao, Darkness Chen Cang, Han Xin Generals, The More the Merrier, the More the Better, the Front Is Unstoppable, The One Side Alone, Half Crossing and Striking, The Battle of backwaters, the Embattled Song, the Ambush on Ten Sides, the Invincible Battle, the Revenge with Virtue, the False Cloud Dream, the Ability to Bend and Stretch, and so on.
Han Xin was an outstanding military figure in ancient China, a famous general of a generation, who was poor and humiliated in his early years; he first followed Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, but was not reused, and then turned to Liu Bang's command, and after several twists and turns, he worshipped him as a general, and he had to show his talents, assist Liu Bang in pacifying the world, and established outstanding military achievements; Han Xin gong was high and mighty, and the contradictions with Liu Bang became increasingly acute, and Liu Bang's suspicions and scruples about Han Xin deepened.
During the Chu-Han War, when Han Xin broke Wei Ping Zhao and collected Yan and Qi on the northern front, Liu Bang, in order to appease Han Xin, set up a false post and made him the King of Qi. After Liu Bang destroyed Xiang Yu, he saw that the world had been decided, and changed Han Xin to the King of Chu, which was degraded for Han Xin.
Later, someone secretly told Han Xin that he had taken in the Chu general Zhong And had a deliberate intention of rebellion. This provided an excuse for Liu Bang to punish Han Xin, so he ordered Han Xin to hand over Zhong Yuanyi, but Han Xin thought that he was bright and honest and ignored it.
Liu Bang was furious and wanted to send troops to requisition, but he was bitter that he was not Han Xin's opponent, so he adopted the strategy of the strategist Chen Ping and prepared to raid Han Xin in the name of "Pseudo-Yun Dream".
At this time, Han Xin really wanted to see Liu Bang, who was about to arrive in the Chu Kingdom, and was afraid of being captured, so someone offered a plan, but he could kill Zhong Liming and then go to see Liu Bang, Liu Bang must be happy, and Han Xin told Zhong Liming about this matter in order to discuss countermeasures. Zhong Li felt that a catastrophe was coming, so he committed suicide. Han Xin helplessly took Zhong Liyi's head to see Liu Bang. Liu Bang then ordered the samurai to tie up Han Xin and put him on the deputy cart of the retinue emperor.
At this point, Han Xin could only look up at the sky and sigh: "It seems that it is really as people say, 'Cunning rabbits die, lackeys cook; birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden; enemy countries are broken, and plotters are killed."' 'It has been decided today, and I should be buried later!' But where does Liu Bang still listen to this? In the name of "someone sued you for rebellion", he asked Han Xin to put on his weapons, brought him back to Luoyang, and put him under house arrest.
Later, liu Bang demoted Han Xin from the king of Chu to the marquis of Huaiyin because he had no solid evidence, but still controlled the capital. Han Xin knew that Liu Bang was jealous of his talents, so he lied that he was ill and did not take office.
In 197 BC, Chen Feng, the Marquis of Yang, rebelled and established himself as king. Liu Bang personally led a large army to conquest. Han Xin shirked that he was ill and did not go with him. In fact, at this time, Han Xin was completely desperate for Liu Bang, believing that he would die at the hands of Liu Bang sooner or later, and if he sat and waited, it was better to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, he secretly agreed with Chen Feng that Han Xin would make an internal response, and he would prepare to falsely transmit the Holy Will late one night, release all the slaves and prisoners imprisoned in prison, and use these people to launch a "riot" and kill Lü Hou and the crown prince, so that Liu Bang on the front line would have no intention of fighting because of the change in the "old nest", and Chen Feng could take the opportunity to defeat the Han army.
Han Xin's men had offended Han Xin and were imprisoned and prepared to be executed. Sheren's younger brother wrote to Lü Hou about Han Xin's intention to rebel. Lü Hou was panicked and secretly consulted with Xiao He, who came forward and designed to trick Han Xin into entering the palace to the Changle Hall. As soon as Lü Hou saw Han Xin, he ordered the sword and axe hand to tie Han Xin to the ground. Because of Han Xin's merits, Liu Bang once gave him a promise of immortality: that is, to see the sky does not die, to see the earth does not die, and to see the weapons do not die. Xiao He also offered advice, it is said that he trapped Han Xin with a sack, pulled him to the bell room of the Changle Palace, sharpened the bamboo pole, and stabbed Han Xin to death with a random stab.
At this point, the end of Han Xin's life can be summarized by two idioms, one is "success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He", and the other is "the disaster of the bell room". I think that back then, Xiao He yue chased after Han Xin, personally held Han Xin on the altar, and now buried him with his own hands. And the "Disaster of the Bell Room" is more like a regret for Han Xin's fate, he could have divided the world into three parts, he could have enjoyed the glory and wealth, but because of his high merits, he failed to succeed, which is a pity!
