Han Xin, who is known as one of the three masters of the early Han Dynasty, is also the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, with military strength and strategy praised by the world, in this regard alone, he can completely share the world with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, but I don't know why he is willing to bend to Liu Bang and become a general.
We may wish to guess, if Han Xin is bold, recruits troops to break away from Liu Bang, and builds his own army. Will it replace Liu Bang as the head of a country? In fact, the answer to this question can be found in the history books, and the answer is no, yes and no. Let's analyze the reasons why we can't.
First from Liu Bang's analysis, at that time, the people around Liu Bang can be divided into three groups, two of which are able to touch the center of power, deeply trusted by Liu Bang, the remaining one is just hovering on the edge of the center of power, in order to facilitate the description, we simply call these three groups A, B, C.
A is the highest level, there are two people in it, these two people are following Liu Bang from the pavilion chief to the leader step by step, can influence Liu Bang's decision-making power, when necessary, can also replace Liu Bang to preside over the overall situation, the degree of trust is naturally not in doubt. B's status is second only to A, and there are six people in it, all of whom are the mother-in-law of Liu Bang's wife, Lü Yan, who joined after seeing that Liu Bang had a certain strength. Coupled with Liu Bang's own cautious reasons, he was afraid that these people would use the guise of relatives and yin themselves, although these people were also in the center of power, but they had to lean back.
Now let's talk about the C group, which is also 6 people, of which Han Xin has the highest status, this group was only joined after Liu Bang's name was launched, that is to say, the early hardships did not have their participation, from this point of view, this relationship is naturally much farther, and this group exists because Liu Bang values their strength and promotes them.
From the perspective of Han Xin, Han Xin is not inferior to Liu Bang in terms of military strategy and vision, and it is completely possible to replace Liu Bang, who knows Han Xin's ability, so he has always been wary of him and does not let him get too close to the center of power. On Han Xin's side, with his own merits, he often threw his face at Liu Bang, Liu Bang endured because he needed him, but he had already moved his killing heart, which made Han Xin's advisers see it, and advised Han Xin to leave Liu Bang as soon as possible and establish himself as king, Han Xin rejected this proposal on the grounds of thanking Liu Bang for his kindness.
In fact, putting aside han's belief and the reasons for the grace of knowledge, we rationally analyze why Han Xin's rebellion must fail. The main reason is that Han Xin was prevented to death by Liu Bang, afraid that he would recruit troops and buy horses, often send people to stare at him, and if there was a hint of it, he would cut it off as soon as possible, wanting soldiers without soldiers, wanting talents without talents, how to fight with Liu Bang? At that time, Liu Bang had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he was surrounded by talented people, who could destroy Han Xin in every minute. After analyzing it in this way, it can only show that Han Xin is more unlucky, encountering Liu Bang, who is too defensive, and that Han Xin himself does not have that will.
