Han Xin: Coming from a civilian background, it is also a strange thing. Along with Xiao He and Zhang Liang, he was listed as the Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty. He has a very high military attainment.
Han Xin's life is actually quite bitter, his personality is indulgent, he wants to be an official and no one is elected, and he wants to do business without a brain. It is often the one who lives by clinging to others, and everywhere he goes, he is the one who is rejected.
It was hard to get to know a pavilion chief, and he went to people's homes all day to rub rice. As the months passed, the pavilion chief's wife hated him. Every time he arrives at the meal, he does not ask him to eat it himself. Han Xin is not stupid, then I will go, and I will never come back. He went out fishing and met an old lady who, seeing that he was pitiful, often brought him food to eat and encouraged him.
After Chen Sheng's Wuguang uprising, Xiang Liang also crossed the river north, and Han Xin joined the Xiang family army. After Xiang Liang died, he belonged to Xiang Yu. Han Xin had consulted him many times, but Xiang Yu saw that he was just a small minion, and he did not pay any attention to him, nor did he get reused, so he left the Chu camp and defected to Liu Bang's Han camp.
Han Xin wanted to be a great general all his heart, and talked to Xiao He many times, and Xiao He also admired him very much, and he always asked Xiao He to introduce himself to Liu Bang. At that time, Liu Bang had just been crowned king of Han by Xiang Yu, and was assigned to the distant and cold Hanzhong, and many of the soldiers on the road escaped, Han Xin thought that Liu Bang just did not need himself, so he also fled, and then there was the sentence "Xiao He Yue chased Han Xin".
After returning, Xiao He asked Liu Bang to make Han Xin a great general, Liu Bang initially promised to make him a small general, Xiao He said that Han Xin could not find a second talent in the world, and used himself to vouch for Han Xin, and finally Liu Bang gave Han Xin the position of general.
Han Xin finally became a great general as he wished, and then, the overlord Xiang Yu and the Han king Liu Bang launched the famous "Chu-Han Dispute" in history in order to compete for the right to rule.
In 204 BC, Han Xin relied on more than 10,000 people to defeat the 200,000 troops of Xiang Yu's vassal State of Zhao with the strategy of "backwater war".
In 202 BC, xiang Yu was forced to kill himself at Wujiang with a ten-sided ambush strategy.
Xiang Yu died, and this world naturally belonged to Liu Bang. Then Han Xin, as the founding hero of the country and the great general who fought in the Jiangshan, should always achieve fame and fame, and the power is in his hands, right? No, Liu Bang was worried about Gong Gao Zhen Lord, so as soon as he got the world, he seized Han Xin's military power, and Xiang Yu died only a year later, so he arrested Han Xin in the name of rebellion. But at this time, he was not killed, but was only demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin. When Han Xin was caught, he looked up at the sky and sighed: rabbits and dead dogs cook, birds are hidden with bows.
In 196 BC, he was booby-trapped by Liu Bang's wives Lü Hou and Xiao He in the bell room of Changle Palace. After his death, he was cursed by the three tribes.
Then why did Han Xin end up with such a great merit? Although Liu Bang was killed by Lü Hou, there was definitely Liu Bang's approval.
One: Liu Bang was worried that if he had done a high job, the world would be seized by him in the future.
We can see that Liu Bang is actually only three years younger than Qin Shi Huang. In the year of killing Han Xin, Liu Bang was already 60 years old, and he knew that yu life was not long. Han Xin was only 34 years old and had great prestige in the military. Liu Bang's son is only 16 years old. Therefore, Liu Bang was worried that after his death, Han Xin still had no one above the government and the opposition to suppress him. So Han Xin had to die.
Second: At the last moment of the decisive battle between Chu and Han, Han Xin forced Liu Bang to make him king.
Through the introduction of Han Xin at the beginning, Han Xin is definitely not a gentleman who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Before the decisive battle between Chu and Han, in such a dangerous situation, Han Xin actually threatened Liu Bang to make him the King of Qi. He was ambitious and felt absolutely worthy of the king. And Liu Bang we also know that he absolutely does not want to be crowned a king with a different surname, and it can be seen through the alliance of white horses that when Liu Bang died, he killed the white horse and asked everyone to swear that after his death, non-Liu surnames could not be crowned kings, otherwise the world would discuss it. However, forced to do so, under the circumstances at that time, He still sealed Han Xin. This is also an important reason for Han Xin's execution.
