In 197 BC, Han Xin, a god of war, died tragically in the Changle Palace under the deception of Xiao He. According to the history of The Wild, because one of his initial requests was "not to kill in the face of the sky, not to kill when it meets the ground, and not to kill when you see iron." Finally, Han Xin was blindfolded and loaded into an iron cage, suspended in the air, and stabbed into the ground with sharpened bamboo sticks one by one.
First, the merit is high and the lord is shocked, and if you don't die, you have to die?
A generation of military wizards Han Xin, for the establishment of Liu Bang's Han Dynasty, made such a great merit, and finally so miserable. "Faith has done great service to the Han, but the world has been determined, and it has been slaughtered miserably, and the three ethnic groups have been harmed, and those who hear are sad, and those who hear are in tears." For thousands of years, the spearhead has all been pointed at Liu Bang, "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks", Liu Bang's heart is black and hot, killing heroes, and has been constantly mentioned in all dynasties and dynasties. So, Han Xin's tragic death, is he really all resentful of Liu Bang?
A mixture of emperors and the killing of heroes. This is a true portrayal of history, and the author has no intention of overturning the case for Liu Bang. Just as much as possible, with more historical facts, dissect the historical storms and vicissitudes of the early Han Dynasty, in view of the times and individuals. Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty once said: Honoring people does not increase their everything, and destroying people does not benefit their evil.
Why did Liu Bang kill Han Xin? Many people will think that Han Xin does not reward the merits, the merit is high and the lord is shocked, and he will die even if he does not die. So, what about Zhang Liang and Xiao He? They are the same as Han Xin in the han dynasty, and they are a good death. Among the military generals, Cao San, Zhou Bo, Dou Bao, Wang Ling, and others were all able to die well, and Cao Shan attacked and destroyed the two countries, more than one hundred and twenty counties, and his battle achievements were second only to Han Xin, so why didn't he arouse Liu Bang's doubts? Why did Xiao He, the former benefactor, take the initiative to participate in the killing of Han Xin?
Some things, Han Xin really provoked the anger of the public. If objectively speaking, Liu Bang was not bloodthirsty, saying that he killed the heroes, in fact, he also expropriated several princes with different surnames. And this is also very easy to understand, hundreds of years of war, great unification has become a historical trend, Han inherited the Qin system, hoping to maintain the great unification, but what about Han Xin and others? However, he was keen on splitting the land and sealing the king, dominating one side, driving back the history, and repeating the Spring and Autumn Warring States and the Chu and Han disputes. Liu Bang is a rogue born not false, rogue to rogue, you scold the mother in person he can endure. However, he could not bear it. No one can stand it!
Second, it was Liu Bang who made Han Xinying famous
Han Xin's name of military genius, who achieved it? After the Ming Dynasty built the trail and secretly crossed Chen Cang, the battle must be conquered, and the five kingdoms of Wei, Dai, Zhao, Yan, and Qi occupied most of the areas south of the Great Wall, north of the Yellow River, and Shandong, achieved all victories in the northern battlefield, and completed the strategic encirclement of the Chenggao Chu army. Han Xin was invincible all the way, although it was his immortal talent! But these are based on the fact that there is no head-on confrontation with the "Xiang Yu", who is known as the God of War. Han Xin's backwater battle had been talked about by people, and Xiang Yu's broken cauldron was not much to let go! The most powerful and terrifying Xiang Yu had always been firmly restrained by Liu Bang on the front. In order to contain Xiang Yu, Liu Bang went through all kinds of hardships and nearly died nine times in his life. This was the overall strategic policy formulated by Zhang Liang, Liu Bang carried Xiang Yu head-on, Han Xin detoured and encircled, and finally jointly besieged and destroyed Xiang Yu. Liu Bang kept the greatest danger to himself.
Without Liu Bang, it is still unknown whether Han Xin could have made such a remarkable achievement! At least it definitely won't go so well. In the later stages of the Chu-Han War, why did Xiang Yu rush to attack Liu Bang? He wanted to pull out to deal with Han Xin. However, Liu Bang wanted to be like a cowhide fresh, and he couldn't shake it off, because Liu Bang knew that this was absolutely not ok, and no matter how hard and tired he was, he could only carry it hard. At this time, what was Han Xin doing?
At that time, when Han Xin had already destroyed Wei and collected Zhao, and when the soldiers were pointing directly at the land of Sanqi, in order to speed up the victory, reduce the cost, and make Han Xin quickly come to his aid, Liu Bang adopted a two-pronged strategy, taking Han Xin's heavy troops as the basis, threatening the threat of victory, sending his top lobbyists to eat him, soft and hard, hoping to yield troops without a fight, oppressing the state of Qi to surrender, and li did not fail in his mission, and successfully persuaded the state of Qi to surrender. The result? Han Xin listened to the words of others, took the opportunity to sneak into the State of Qi, provoked the anger of the King of Qi, felt that he was teased and betrayed by Li Shi, cooked Li Shiqi, and even ordered the State of Qi to resist vigorously!
Third, he wanted to blackmail Liu Bang and split the earth and seal the king
When Han Xin wanted to blackmail Liu Bang into becoming king, he said, "The Qi people are cunning and capricious! "That's what it means. But who caused this mess? Who is first capricious and untruthful? Why did the King of Qi order the State of Qi to resist with all its might? Han Xin had no sense of the overall situation, and almost destroyed Zhang Liang's overall strategic approach, shouldn't he be held accountable?
Look at Han Xin's attempt to blackmail Liu Bang into becoming king. Seeing Liu Bang's treachery cross the chasm and pursue himself, could Xiang Yu not be in a hurry? Therefore, this anger was all sprinkled on Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu, who was trying to pull up the mountain and be angry in the world, really did not say play. Xiang Yu's attacks became more and more rapid day by day, and Liu Bang looked at Han Xin day and night to save him. What about Han Xin? In the temple calculations of Zhang Liang and others, Sanqi, who could be quickly determined, was stirred up by Han Xin as such a mess. Han Xin even used this as an excuse not to send troops. The infinite grass seedlings are exhausted, but you are leisurely doing Qifeng!
Can Liu Bang not be angry? At this time, Liu Bang, is there a little sorry for Han Xin? Liu Bang was a gift of knowledge to Han Xin. This point han xin himself also admitted, according to the "History of the Marquis of Huaiyin", "the king of the subject matter, the official is not langzhong, the position is not stubborn, the words do not listen, the painting is not used, so the back of Chu returns to Han." The king of Han gave me the seal of the general, gave me tens of thousands of people, undressed me, pushed me to eat and drink, and listened to my words, so that I could get here! This grace of knowing the encounter can be said to exceed that of Liu Bei to Zhuge Liang in later generations!
But how did Han Xin repay this kindness? At the most difficult and life-and-death juncture of Liu Bang, how did Han Xin repay Liu Bang for this kindness of knowing? Even if Liu Bang heeded Zhang Liang's and Chen Ping's advice and sealed Han Xin as the King of Qi, Han Xin still refused to come to the rescue! If you are Liu Bang, what will you think? Liu Bang had no choice but to promise again that he would once again take out a large area of rich land and reward Han Xin, which would be exchanged for Han Xin's consent to send troops! In this way, Han Xin repaid Liu Bang's kindness of knowing and meeting, and he was bent on the glory of his own king, and he did not even care about the life and death of his benefactor.
IV. Conclusion
It can be said that the biggest tragedy of Han Xin's life is to cling to the old concept of "splitting the land and sealing the king", repeatedly hurting Liu Bang's feelings and trust, and finally even threatening Liu Bang to become a prince.
However, after hundreds of years of war and turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, the vast majority of people no longer want to go back to the past, and the unification of the world has become a major trend in history. This trend is not something that Han Xin can influence. Han Xin's concept does not meet the requirements of the people of the world, so Han Xin can only die, must die.
