There were many outstanding military figures in ancient China, from Jiang Ziya, the founding hero of the Western Zhou Dynasty, to Sun Wu and Sun Zhen, who wrote the "Art of War of Sun Zi" and the "Art of War" of Sun Yuan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and even zhuge liang, Liu Bowen and others, who made great achievements in history, and there are many stories circulating in the folk, but the military experts who people often mention and lament for it are probably han xin.
Han Xin is a representative figure of the traditional warrior family in ancient China, he is an outstanding figure of the "war faction", which is exactly opposite to Xiang Yu's "war faction", and is praised by later generations as "soldier immortal, god marshal", and is one of the four saints of the bing family. Regarding hanxin's military ability, there is a very famous allusion, that is, "Hanxin points soldiers, the more the merrier", and even now we use this idiom in our lives to show that the ability of others is extremely outstanding.
According to Sima Qian's biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin, after Liu Bang became emperor, he received a secret message from a messenger saying that Han Xin, the king of Chu, was preparing for a rebellion, the most obvious example of which was that he accepted Xiang Yu's old part Zhong Li. Zhong Liyi was originally a loyal vassal of Xiang Yu, who gave Liu Bang a major blow many times, and could be regarded as An old enemy of Liu Bang, and now that Han Xin had taken this person in, it can be seen that he already had a rebellious heart.
Liu Bang listened to the messenger's words, so he used a trick to make Han Xin leave the fiefdom to come to see him, in order to test Han Xin, and it was not long before he heard that Han Xin had taken Zhong Lixiao's head on the road together. So Liu Bang knew that Han Xin had no intention of rebellion, but he still cut off his prince and renamed him the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin was innocently demoted, and his heart was very dissatisfied, so he appeared sullen and unhappy all the time.
Liu Bang was also a figure who had risen step by step from the bottom, and he naturally knew all about this emotion of his subordinates, so he summoned Han Xin and asked him seemingly carelessly: "What do you think of the talents of these many generals under my command?" Liu Bang's original intention was to knock Han Xin and let him know that he had many outstanding generals under his command, and he would not be able to do without him.
As a result, Han Xin commented on the generals one by one, and finally concluded that they were not in his own eyes, and Liu Bang was very unhappy in his heart, so he asked with a smile: "Then how many soldiers do you think I can bring?" Han Xin said up to 100,000. Liu Bang then asked, "Then how many soldiers can you bring yourself?" Han Xin said: "The more the merrier." This means that no matter how many people and horses, he can manage well, and as if he were under the command of an arm, in fact, this is also the case, so people call him a soldier immortal.
It is actually very difficult to achieve "the more the merrier", because people with a little management experience know that when the team is big, people's hearts are chaotic, and this trivial thing such as eating, drinking, and lasa are intertwined, and it is not necessarily possible for a class teacher to be the director of teaching, let alone the army? However, Han Xin can indeed command an infinite number of troops, which is exactly what makes him strong.
It was precisely by virtue of this military talent that Han Xin was able to be crowned king from the body of the cloth, but it also caused Liu Bang to be jealous, even if he did not have evidence of rebellion, he had to demote him, and later Liu Bang's growing older and more serious defense of Han Xin became more and more serious. Finally, in 196 BC, Liu Bang's wife Lü Hou, together with Xiao He, planned to kill Han Xin, but it is difficult to believe that there is no meaning of Liu Bang at all.
Before Being Killed by Lü Hou, Han Xin coldly uttered 4 words, that is, "Isn't it Heavenly!" At the last moment of his life, he began to regret that he did not really rebel, so that he finally died at the hands of women, of course, he did not think that he was not Lü Hou's opponent, so he said "Is this not providence", so that Xiang Yu's "this providence, not the crime of war" has the same magic.
And the four words "isn't it heavenly" have now become a mantra that young people often hang on their lips when playing games, and whenever they want to lose, they will blame their teammates for being too bad, and then say a sentence "When you meet such a teammate, isn't it heavenly!" ”
