The story between Xiao He and Han Xin has long had a famous idiom to illustrate, that is, "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He". Han Xin left his name in history because of Xiao He and became a famous military figure in ancient history, and at the same time, Han Xin's killing was also directly related to Xiao He. Many people here have asked, since Xiao He was able to chase after Han Xin under the moon, why did he refuse to save Han Xin later, but instead offered advice for Lü Hou to kill him? In fact, this is not Xiao He doing wrong, the problem lies in Han Xin and Liu Bang.
Xiao He's initial emphasis on Han Xin was sincere, saying that he was Han Xin's Bole was not exaggerated at all, a person like Han Xin, one has no origin, the second has no battle achievements, unless after several years of fighting the battlefield, it is difficult for people to believe in his ability, it is difficult for him to stand out. His previous experience is already very telling.
He first ran to Xiang Liang's army, hoping to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but Xiang Liang did not pay attention to this person at all, after Xiang Liang died, he followed Xiang Yu again, and also did not attract Xiang Yu's attention and attention in a short period of time, he had to leave Xiang Yu and run to Liu Bang, who also did not reuse him.
He thought that he had thousands of strategies in his chest, but he could not exert them, but he had contact with Xiao He when he was under Liu Bang, and the two of them had a deep understanding and understanding of each other as soon as they came and went. Xiao He had been dealing with all kinds of people for a long time, and his ability to see people was not small, and after a few days of getting along with Han Xin, he thought that as long as Han Xin was given a chance, he would definitely be able to create miracles and be invincible on the battlefield.
Therefore, Xiao He mentioned Han Xin in front of Liu Bang several times, trying to persuade Liu Bang to use him, but Liu Bang never let go, Han Xin left and right, etc., could not wait for Liu Bang's reuse, so he chose to leave again, he fled at night, Xiao He knew that it was too late to report this matter to Liu Bang, and directly led a horse to chase, which is the famous "Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon".
And Xiao He's almost crazy move obviously shocked Liu Bang, Who thought that Xiao He, a think tank, had also fled, but it turned out that he was just going after Han Xin, and at this moment, he seemed to have to re-examine Han Xin as a person. Because Xiao He told him such a thing with actions and words: Han Xin's "unparalleled soldiers of the country" was the biggest chip for liu Bang to win the world.
What else to say? Under Xiao He's suggestion, Han Xin honored Han Xin as a great general with solemn etiquette and asked him to lead the army, and it has to be said that later facts proved that Xiao He's vision was indeed poisonous, and it was Han Xin who became one of the biggest supporters for Liu Bang to win the victory in the Chu-Han War.
He was invincible and invincible, which made Xiang Yu afraid, and Xiang Yu even sent emissaries to try to persuade Han Xin to unite with him to jointly deal with Liu Bang, but Han Xin refused to turn his back on Liu Bang, so he rejected Xiang Yu, and later ambushed Xiang Yu on all sides, leaving Xiang Yu in an embattled situation, and finally Liu Bang claimed the founding of the empire.
Liu Bang can claim the founding of the empire, Han Xin is indeed indispensable, no one can deny Han Xin's merits, but this merit may not be able to bring a good ending to Han Xin, because in the early Western Han Dynasty, Han Xin was suspected by Liu Bang and Lü Hou, and the so-called gong gao zhen lord is not unreasonable. Therefore, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin lived a very depressed life, and this kind of resignation made his loyalty to Liu Bang discounted, and eventually led to Lü Hou's killing intentions.
The direct reason lü hou killed Han Xin was because Han Xin and the rebellious Chen Fengli should cooperate with each other in an attempt to subvert the han's notice. Chen Feng raised an army outside, Liu Bang personally went to suppress the rebellion, and Han Xin plotted a mutiny inside, trying to control Lü Hou and the crown prince Liu Ying, but the matter was soon sent to Lü Hou, who decided to act first.
Lü Hou wanted to summon Han Xin into the palace and then take the opportunity to kill him, but she was afraid that Han Xin would not listen to her edicts at all, so Lü Hou found the resourceful Xiao He, and Xiao He gave Lü Hou an idea, "Yan Feng has died, and all the princes and courtiers are congratulated." Xiao He personally wrote a letter to Han Xin: "Although he is ill, Xinjiang has entered the congratulations." ”
Han Xin entered the palace without a doubt, and then he was tied up by the samurai who had been ambushed long ago, and Lü Hou executed Han Xin in the bell room of the Changle Palace. Many people did not understand why Xiao He did not save Han Xin here, but instead helped Lü Hou get rid of Han Xin. In fact, Xiao He also had to do this, he could not do things that harmed himself and others.
Why is it said that saving Han Xin is a matter of self-interest for Xiao He? In fact, long before Han Xin and Chen Feng plotted to do things, Liu Bang was already jealous of Han Xin. This kind of suspicion is not only the work of the Gong Gao Zhen Lord, but also Han Xin's "cutting one's own merits and discreet one's own ability."
Han Xin was indeed very loyal to Liu Bang before, did not think of leaving Liu Bang, and when he had the ability to influence the situation, he refused to turn to Xiang Yu to deal with Liu Bang, nor was he willing to accept Qu Tong's suggestion to set up a portal on his own, which was his advantage.
But on the other hand, Han Xin was arrogant and arrogant, and many times when Liu Bang needed him to send troops, he would intentionally or unintentionally "make things difficult" for Liu Bang, forcing Liu Bang to agree to some conditions, which made Liu Bang's heart very unhappy, but for the sake of the grand plan, Liu Bang had to tolerate Han Xin again and again, until after Xiang Yu Wujiang killed himself, Liu Bang was not very willing to endure, he directly gave Han Xin's military power, made him the King of Chu, and later under the plot of Chen Ping, he escorted Han Xin to Luoyang and demoted him to the Marquis of Huaiyin.
Since then, Han Xin has basically been in a state of little freedom. For such a situation, Han Xin was naturally very dissatisfied, he did not complain less, nor did he pretend to be ill, and later he finally met chen feng and had the opportunity to do things together in the future.
And all this, Liu Bang naturally could not tolerate Han Xin after knowing it, but in the end he read that Han Xin was a hero and was not willing to kill him directly, but Lü Hou did not care so much, when he constantly rebelled against it, it was better to get rid of Han Xin as soon as possible, so she went to Xiao He to discuss how to catch Han Xin, and Xiao He really paid attention, why not?
Xiao He was not stupid, how could he not think of Han Xin's ending, Han Xin's arrogance and arrogance must not have any good results, and Liu Bang and Lü Hou were both suspicious of Han Xin, but Liu Bang had not yet made up his mind to kill Han Xin, and Lü Hou wanted to kill Han Xin in advance, in Xiao He's view, Liu Bang and Lü Hou were going to kill Han Xin sooner or later, and Han Xin's end was already doomed.
If he did not come up with ideas for Lü Hou, he would probably be suspected by Lü Hou, and once Lü Hou was jealous, Liu Bang would not be far away, so how would he protect himself when the time came? The so-called king told the subject to die, and it was difficult for the person who was targeted by the emperor and the empress to die well, so Xiao He could not catch himself for Han Xin.
Besides, what Lü Hou represented at that time was actually Liu Bang's meaning, and since they all wanted Han Xin's life, how could he, as a courtier, not share the worries of the king? Moreover, Han Xin's death was not unjust, although when Liu Bang first asked the samurai to bind Liu Bang and escort him to Luoyang, he once said: "If the people say, 'The cunning rabbit dies, and the good dog cooks; the high bird is exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; the enemy country is broken, and the plotter dies.'" 'The world is set, I should cook!' ”
This is not unreasonable, but Han Xin is not so innocent, in the process of pacifying the world, he "cut down his own merits and exercise his ability", which made Liu Bang very dissatisfied, and after Liu Bang demoted him to the Marquis of Huaiyin, he embarked on the road of rebellion, and finally ended up with an end where he was killed and the clan was destroyed, which was regrettable.
