Since ancient times, the world has mostly used "cunning rabbits to die, running dogs to cook; birds to exhaust, good bows to hide" to reflect the ancient emperors, "at the time of achievement and fame, the loyal generals who once followed their own southern conquests and northern wars were killed" Ruthlessness and cunning.
People can't help but sigh that the most ruthless imperial family, Han Xin, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, is such a miserable end. Looking back on Han Xin's life of loyalty and righteousness, he was once extremely glorious, and he was once poor and endured the humiliation of his crotch.
However, in the end, he realized the value of his life and became one of the three masters of the Han Dynasty. However, because of his lack of political emotional intelligence, he was eventually killed by Lü Yan and Xiao He. After Han Xin's death, the ten characters inscribed on his tombstone are considered to be a high summary of his life.
So, what's going on here? What are the so-called "ten words"? Today we will talk about general Han Xin.
Sending people to the fence to make a living, they are suspected of running away from the world
Han Xin Jiangsu Huaiyin people, when they were young, their families were poor, and they often lived under the eaves of others to beg for food, and to put it ugly, they grew up eating hundreds of meals. He befriended the head of the Nanchang Pavilion who went to the countryside at that time, and ate and lived in his home for more than a few months, which can be described as a good care.
However, the non-relatives and non-reasons raised an idle person, and the wife of the pavilion chief complained that he was constantly critical of him, and from time to time he broke down and did not let Han Xin eat. As the saying goes, a soldier can be killed without shame, and Han Xin did not want to live under the people for a long time, so he got up and left.
Han Xin, who has lost his source of livelihood, has been wandering the streets, because he often wears a sword around his waist, so he is humiliated by the rogues of the city, which has the humiliation of crotch. Han Xin is a person with great ambitions, and he doesn't want to make things bigger, so he can bear with it.
When he was bored, Han Xin sat on the river fishing, his stomach empty, fantasizing about the landing of the next meal. I happened to meet the big lady who washed clothes by the river, and the big lady saw her pity and gave her food for tens of days, but did not ask for anything in return.
At the same time, the eldest lady should tell him that as an ambitious young man with lofty ambitions in the world, how could he live such a failed life?
After hearing such a remark, Han Xin was deeply inspired, and at that time, it was the last year of the Qin Dynasty, and the crowd rose up, Han Xin joined in and began a magnificent life.
Han Xin finally met Bo Lezhi and helped Han suppress Chu Liqigong
Han Xin first volunteered himself and surrendered to Xiang Liang's account, and after Xiang Liang's defeat, he switched to Xiang Yu, and although he was talented, he was given the title of Lang Zhong, that is, an official who held weapons for Xiang Yu and served as a bodyguard.
Han Xin was proud of his great talent and strategy, and often ignored the advice and strategy of the occasion, but he was not accepted by Xiang Yu. In fact, such a situation is also very easy to understand, the timing of Han Xin's advice is not opportune, and at the same time, Xiang Yu is also a very conceited person, is he Xiang Yu not as good as a servant with a strategy?
All in all, in Xiang Yu's military camp, Han Xin was not reused, and eventually he turned around and defected to Liu Bang. When Han Xin came to the early days of Liu Bang's group, he was still not reused, and he had even gone to another master.
Fortunately, Liu Bang's strategist Xiao Hehui saw the hero, and he thought that Han Xin was a man of great talent. After hearing that Han Xin had left, he immediately rode a horse to chase back Han Xin overnight, and finally under Xiao He's generous statement, Han Xin was chased back.
Later, after Xiao He's recommendation, he was valued by Liu Bang and was made a great general, and was able to display his military talents in the army, which is the origin of the famous allusion Xiao He Yuexia's pursuit of Han Xin.
From then on, Han Xin exerted his military talent to the extreme, he first took Hanzhong, then pacified the four kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Qi, and finally led 400,000 troops to besiege Xiang Yu and launch the final decisive battle.
At that time, the tactics adopted by Han Xin were very similar to those used in the War of Resistance Against Japan -- "The enemy advances and retreats, the enemy garrisons us to disturb me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase", and even more at a time when the Chu soldiers are sleepy and tired, and they have no intention of fighting, they use "embattled songs" to disturb the hearts of the army.
In the end, Han Xin helped Liu Bang suppress the Chu army, and Xiang Yu was forced to draw his sword and kill himself on the bank of the Wu River. The Han Dynasty was initially determined, and on the merits and rewards, Han Xin was crowned "King of Chu", but he was also surrendered to the military power.
Cunning rabbit death, running dog cooking, flying birds exhausted, good bow hiding, this is the eternal truth, if Han Xin is disarmed and returned to the field from now on, it is estimated that his end will be the same as Zhang Liang, but he is reluctant to have power.
Life and death are confidants, and the two surviving women, Han Xin, are killed
Regarding Liu Bang's crossing the river and demolishing bridges and his treacherous behavior (collecting military rights), Han Xin actually had quite a complaint, but he did not say. Later, he returned to his hometown of Xia Pi and gave a generous gift of gold to the eldest bride who had once helped him.
For the pavilion chief who took care of himself for several months, the wife of the pavilion chief was also rewarded with "a hundred dollars", the former is considered to be a thank you, the latter is a humiliation, the historical record "The Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin" records: "Gong, the little man, is not a pawn for virtue." This means that you are a small person, there is no end to doing good deeds, and it is already too much to reward you with this money.
For those who had originally allowed themselves to endure the humiliation of their crotches, Han Xin promoted him to lieutenant, and it is recorded in the Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin as follows: "Tell all the generals to know this strong man." When Fang insults me, I would rather kill the evil? Killing is nameless, so endure it. ”
After these things, Han Xin's life also entered the countdown, he was framed for rebellion, although there was no evidence, but he was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, and then he was even more ill and depressed. During the rebellion in the north and Liu Bang went out on a campaign, because he was afraid of Han Xin's rebellion, Lü Hou conspired with Xiao He to trick Han Xin into the palace and kill him.
Liu Bang, who was far away on the battlefield, after learning this news, only said briefly and with a smile: "What did Han Xin say when he died"? visible. It was probably not just Lü Hou who wanted to kill Han Xin, Liu Bang just didn't put it into action.
In the history of the Marquis of Huaiyin, the original text describes Liu Bang's performance after learning of Han Xin's death: "Remember that Gao Zu has come from joining the army, and when he sees the death of the letter, he is happy and pitiful, and asks: What does it mean to believe in death"?
It is worth mentioning that after Han Xin's death, when his descendants set up a biography of his tree monument, the inscription wrote ten words: "Life and death are a confidant, survival and death of two women", a simple ten words highly summarize Han Xin's life.
"Life and death a confidant" refers to Xiao He, who chased Han Xin under the moon and had the grace of introducing him, without him there would be no god of war Han Xin. In the "two women who survive and die", Cun refers to the eldest bride who gave Han Xin dozens of days' rations on the riverside, and the death refers to Lü Hou, who conspired to kill Han Xin.
Looking back at Han Xin's life, his death was not without reason, and although his life was brilliant, he could find its shortcomings in some small things. For the sake of the general, the advice that regards oneself as having great talent and greatness regardless of the occasion is regarded as having no emotional intelligence.
The riverside lady gave him more than ten days of rations, and he gave thousands of gold, and the pavilion chief who took care of his food and clothing was rewarded with hundreds of dollars and was called a villain by him, which was a model of fighting rice to raise benefactors and raising rice to raise enemies, and regarded as good and evil.
For the scoundrel who gave him the humiliation of his crotch, if he did not punish him, he would be promoted and called a strong man, and his name was that the other party was nameless at that time, and he could not show his ability to kill him.
Treating Liu Bang cannot but use the way of a monarch and a courtier, learn to retire from success, and complain that he has crossed the river and demolished the bridge with treachery, which is regarded as too much attention to himself and puts himself in death! Is there any reason for immortality?
