Han Xin suffered various hardships in his early years, but he chose to join the army, hoping to achieve a career in the chaotic world. At the beginning, he confidently joined Xiang Liang's army, and the confident Han Xin thought that he could finally show his fists, but no one discovered his talents and had been mixed in the grassroots as a small soldier. Han Xin was not reconciled, and later finally succeeded in becoming Xiang Yu's guard in this way.
In order to make Xiang Yu believe in his own talents, Han Xin took advantage of his position to put the military strategies he had written by staying up late from time to time in Xiang Yu's military tent camp. I hope that Xiang Yu can discover his extraordinary talent after seeing it, but even if Han Xin has fantasized countless times in his head, reality is reality after all, Xiang Yu did not bother to look at his strategy and directly threw it into the trash can. Desperate Han Xin knew that in this life, he would not be able to make a name for himself in Chu Ying.
So Han Xin came to Hanying and heard that Liu Bang was a lord who cherished talents, and maybe he could have good luck. Don't really say, the people in Han Camp are much better, although Han Xin still can't see Liu Bang, but Xiao He found that he is a talent. Eventually, with the help of Xiao He, Han Xin was promoted to the rank of general in command of the three armies. With a place of use, Han Xin began to conquer the north and south, making outstanding military achievements for Liu Bang, and was eventually crowned king by Liu Bang. However, the good times did not last long, and Han Xin's good life was not long after a few days, he was killed by Liu Bang's design. Such a great hero, why did Liu Bang have to kill Han Xin?
First, the expansion of Han Xin. Although Han Xin fought very hard, he helped Liu Bang win many places such as Wei, Zhao, Dai, and Yan in the early stage, which can be said to be the second place for his merits, and no one dared to say that he was the first. However, after attacking the State of Qi, Han Xin began to swell, and he thought that most of the world was fought by himself, and he had to be crowned a king. However, Liu Bang did not show his performance for a long time, and never mentioned this stubble matter. So Han Xin couldn't sit still, so he began to take the initiative to ask Liu Bang for the reward of "King qi". Otherwise, there would be no troops to relieve the siege of Liu Bang.
This can make Liu Bang angry, isn't this an obvious blackmail? Fortunately, Liu Bang endured, after all, the great cause did not succeed and still needed to rely on Han Xin. So he held a breath in his stomach and sealed the King of Qi to Han. Han Xin, who had been crowned Queen of Qi, was naturally very happy, but he did not know that the bane had been laid. What a clever man Liu Bang was, Han Xin dared to blackmail him for his own interests, and after this was done, how could he control him? Therefore, after Liu Bang ascended the throne, the first person to kill was Han Xin.
Second, in order to stabilize imperial power. Before Xiang Yu was destroyed and after Xiang Yu was destroyed, Liu Bang was two completely different mentalities. When Xiang Yu was alive, in order to achieve the goal of eliminating Xiang Yu, he had to do his best to enlist the princes to join him, and no matter what demands he made, he would try his best to agree to meet them.
However, when Xiang Yu was dead and the world was decided, Liu Bang's attitude had changed, and at this time there was no need for anyone to fight with him to deal with a certain enemy. The princes and warlords who had followed him in the early stages of conquest and meritorious service had become a threat. After all, Liu Bang's identity has changed at this time, he is no longer the little who was mixed up in Zhongyangli Village, nor is he the King of Han, but the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. The first thing he had to consider was to stabilize the imperial power and not repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty's short-lived. Therefore, the next step is to cross the river and tear down the bridge. And Han Xin's military strength is the strongest, and the prestige in the army is also the highest, so he is also the greatest threat to imperial power, so he must be removed, and he is the first object to be removed.
Third, Han Xin took matters into his own hands. Han Xin's ability to fight was a great advantage, and this advantage made him completely turn over and be a general. However, if you want to live well by the emperor's side, you can't just fight a war, but you also have to know how to protect yourself. Zhang Liang saw this very thoroughly, and he knew that most kings were able to share hardships and hardships, and could not be rich and noble. Therefore, when the day was decided, Zhang Liang took the initiative to leave the court and resign his official position and live in seclusion.
However, Han Xin still thought that he had made great merits and deserved to enjoy all the glory and wealth he had brought, and instead of being reluctant to leave the field of merit, he began to ask for credit. Just imagine, can this not be hated by Liu Bang? Just as the so-called "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", this is not wrong at all, especially Han Xin, a great hero with high merit, if he does not understand this truth, then it is naturally difficult to escape the fate of being killed!
