Han Xin was a famous general in the early Han Dynasty, and together with Xiao He Zhangliang, he was known as the Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty, and made indelible contributions to the process of Liu Bang's conquest of the world. People who know the history of the Han Dynasty know that although Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, is not a mud, as far as his previous experience is concerned, he is just a somewhat shrewd city scoundrel.
He was able to become the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, in addition to the creation of the situation, it was to rely on these three people, and in the war, Han Xin, the only military general, undoubtedly contributed the most.
When the world was not yet at peace, Liu Bang's army mainly relied on two people, Han Xin led the army to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and Xiao He ensured the supply of the rear, and the two cooperated seamlessly, fighting countless victories for Liu Bang. However, although the two cooperate well in business affairs, the relationship between the two is average in private.
Han Xin was later jealous of Lü Hou because of his too many military achievements and too high a reputation, and was designed to be killed. His former colleague was framed to death, Xiao He did not speak for it, and after Han Xin's death, he also said four words, which made him have been criticized to this day.
Han Xin was actually in a similar situation to Liu Bang in the early days, and the origin of the humiliation of the idiom crotch was one of his experiences. In his early years, he was very depressed, had no fixed income, and every time he was hungry, he had to cheekily go to other people's homes to eat. Many people can't understand how he, a man with sound limbs, can swallow his breath and live such a life. A butcher once humiliated him to his face, saying that he wore a sword all day, but the sword was never sheathed, which showed that he must be a coward. The butcher put his foot on the chair and told Han Xin to either stab him with his sword or crawl over his crotch.
Han Xin did not hesitate, lying on the ground and crawling under the crotch of this butcher, after this incident, those villagers looked down on him even more, thinking that his life was like this. After the outbreak of the peasant uprising, Han Xin saw the opportunity to defect to Xiangliang, but at that time he was just a nobody and had no chance to perform, and later he also followed Xiang Yu. Unfortunately, Xiang Yu was not able to discover his talents. After that, he was disheartened and turned to Liu Bang, and Xiao He saw his military talent and recommended him to Liu Bang, and he began to emerge.
After having his own troops, Han Xin quickly convinced those who slandered him for ascending to the throne too quickly. He led the Han army to cross Chen Cang, fight Xingyang, break Wei Ping Zhao, and collect Yan Fa Qi, showing his outstanding military ability and strategy. In the end, Xiang Yu was forced to go to Wujiang to kill himself, including his handwriting. The most rare thing is that he was very loyal to Liu Bang, and later when he was sitting on hundreds of thousands of soldiers, some people suggested that he establish himself as king and divide the world with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. But he refused without hesitation, saying that he would never betray the Han Dynasty and Liu Bang.
However, his loyalty did not buy the same trust, and Liu Bang trusted him at first, but as Han Xin's reputation grew, he slowly became suspicious of Han Xin. After eliminating Xiang Yu, the biggest rival, Liu Bang began to deal with Han Xin, who was the lord of gong gao zhen, first transferred Han Xin away from Kyoto, only to make him the King of Chu, and then slowly took back the military power of Han Xin's audience, so that Han Xin no longer had real power, only a false name of the Marquis of Huaiyin. But even then Liu Bang was not completely at ease, and he was always worried that Han Xin would lead the army to revolt, so he was later directly put under house arrest.
Things had developed to this point, and Han Xin naturally knew what Liu Bang meant. He always claimed that he no longer appeared in the court and did not receive outsiders at home, so as to show that he had no intention of usurping the throne. But the seeds of doubt had already taken root, and whatever Han Xin did at this time would not help. In 197 BC, The Marquis of Yangxia rebelled, and Liu Bang personally led troops to quell the rebellion. At this time, some people took the opportunity to report that Han Xin was also involved in this uprising, and they planned to kill Empress Lü and the crown prince Liu Ying.
The informant failed to produce any strong evidence, and at that time, Han Xin did not have a single soldier in his hands, what did he rely on to rebel? But it is such a flawed whistleblower letter that has become a catalyst for Han Xin. Lu Yan has always wanted to get rid of Han Xin, and this denunciation letter has become a good excuse for her to do something to Han Xin. She joined forces with Xiao He to invite Han Xin into the palace, because Xiao He was a benefactor, and Han Xin had no doubt about his words and entered the palace alone.
In the bell room of Changle Palace, Han Xin was killed. After his death, his former colleague Xiao He did not see a trace of grief on his face, he looked at Han Xin's body, and said that he was removing adultery for the country and living up to the world. Xiao He's plot with Lü Yan was something that everyone in the world knew, and even so, Xiao He refused to say even a word of sympathy after all the dust settled, and even said the four words "to eliminate adultery for the country", which was really sad and regrettable.
