Many people know that Han Xin was first alone, carrying a sword to serve in the Xiang Liang Army, but he was born ordinary and no one recommended him, so he could only be unknown. Xiang Liang was defeated and killed, and Han Xin followed Xiang Yu again, and was appointed by Xiang Yu as LangZhong (ancient official name, following left and right, internal guards, going out to fight), although often following Xiang Yu around, but not reused, many times to offer advice and advice are not used. This was the follow-up matter of later defecting to Liu Bang, the King of Han, being worshiped by Liu Bang as a great general, and scoring two points by Han Xin in the three worlds. If Han Xin had the opportunity to lead the army to fight in the Chu camp, would Xiang Yu still fail? Then why couldn't Xiang Yu reuse Han Xin like Liu Bang? Let's see if I'm right:
First, Han Xin was not born well and did not enter the eyes of Xiang Yu. The "Historical Record" records that Han Xin is a cloth cloth, that is, a commoner, I heard many people say that Han Xin was a declining nobleman, because in the pre-Qin period, only nobles were qualified to wear swords, whether or not, when Han Xin arrived, it was indeed only a flat-headed commoner, there was a surname and a name but no word, and the word was the standard of the nobility at that time, such as Zhang Liang's character room and Xiang Zhizi Yu. And Xiang Yu, who was born of a real nobleman, still had the aristocratic style of doing things in his bones, and most of the people who valued his birth were the original Nobles of the Chu State or their own cronies. In Chen Ping's words, it is
"King Xiang cannot believe in people, and the love he gives is not the kundi of his wife, although there are Qishi who cannot be used."
Second, when Han Xin was in the Chu camp, his reputation was not good. This may be questioned by many people, but we can draw this conclusion from the evaluation of others. After Han Xin defeated the State of Qi, the Chu general Long Ji led 200,000 troops to go on a crusade. Without listening to the correct advice of the counselor, he said this:
"I know that Han Xin is a human being, easy to be with the ear."
I already knew Han Xin's personality, and it was easy to deal with. During the battle between the two sides, Han Xin pretended to be invincible and retreated to lure the enemy, and Long He said another word
"Gu Zhi Xin Timid also." ”
I already knew that Han Xin was timid. In these two places, we can speculate that in the eyes of Long and the second-in-command of the Chu State, the evaluation of Han Xin was indeed not bad, and it was likely that Xiang Yu also had the same view, although they were all wrong.
Third, Xiang Yu did not have a "BoLe" around him who could recognize people. Many friends know that xiang yu's good situation has been in vain, and a big reason is that he cannot recognize people and cannot use people correctly. Chen Ping's defection, Cao Gui's fall of Chenggao, and the rebellion of Yingbu Zhou Yin and others can be said to be Xiang Yu's uselessness. Liu Bang's side Xiao He and Xiahou Baby were all wise and discerning, and they repeatedly recommended talents to Liu Bang, and Han Xin was not discovered by Xiahou Baby and Xiao He! On the other hand, around Xiang Yu, the fierce warriors are like clouds, and the strategists are scarce, and there is a fan increase and not used.
Fourth, this is the most important reason, Xiang Yu does not reuse Han Xin, mainly because Xiang Yu himself is too fierce, he does not need it! From following Xiang Liang to seizing the position of general of Song Yi; from the Battle of the Giant Deer that broke the cauldron and sank the boat to surrendering zhang Handan, the number one of the Qin army; from the Feast of Hongmen to the division of the Eighteenth Road Princes, Xiang Yu was really too smooth, and it can be said that he was invincible. Xiang Yu himself was proficient in the art of war, brave and fierce, and had rich combat experience, so how could he go back to listening to a Han Xin who talked about soldiers on paper and had no experience in leading soldiers? In other words, if the stock selection rises every time, will we give money to a theoretical master who only plays virtual disks? The answer, of course, is no, anti-Qin cause, Xiang Yu himself is enough, do not need the risk of experimentation.
Unfortunately, the anti-Qin cause Xiang Yu did not need to borrow the hands of others, but in the fight for the world, it lost the assistance of others, the brain drain, Han Xin was only one of them, with the passage of time, Xiang Yu's advantage gradually lost, and finally fell on the bank of the Wu River. Pathetic!
