There were policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and Lü Yan took advantage of the loopholes in the rules to kill Han Xin, the first general of the Han Dynasty, without disobeying Liu Bang's will.
When Han Xin died, he did not see the world nor the emperor, and his head was covered with a piece of cloth, and he could not see the weapon, so Lü Yan did not violate Liu Bang's will. After this incident, Liu Bang's actions were somewhat unexpected, and he rewarded Xiao He who came up with the idea.
In fact, Han Xin's death was already doomed:
Han Xin is a famous general who is rare in a hundred years, and it can be said that without his advice, there would be no Jiangshan of the 422 years of the Han Dynasty. Because of this, everyone called Han Xin a "soldier immortal" and a "divine marshal".
Han Xin is indeed qualified to be worthy of these titles, you take a closer look at the "Ming Xiu Zhan Dao Darkness Chen Cang" for Liu Bang to seize Guanzhong, and the "Battle of the Backwater" defeated the Zhao army, pacified Hebei, and finally the famous battle of Xiaxia that has been passed down through the ages, "embattled, ambushed on ten sides" made Xiang Yu, a super fierce general, hate himself and kill himself next to the Wu River.
Judging from these classic battles, as long as Han Xin is willing to go out, it must be a classic, and it is precisely because han Xin's ability beyond ordinary people has made him one of the representative figures of "military power strategist".
The Battle of Weishui was the key battle of the Chu-Han Struggle, in which Han Xin, in the absence of troops, took advantage of weishui's terrain to finally kill Xiang Yu's general Long He, and caused nearly half of the loss of 200,000 Chu troops, while Qi Wang Tian Guang also became a prisoner of war.
In this battle, Han Xin not only destroyed the Qi-Chu alliance, but also occupied the land of Sanqi, completing the favorable situation of detouring back to the rear of Western Chu and strategically encircling it. The victory of this battle completely reversed the situation in Chu and Han, and Xiang Yu's defeat was inevitable.
As the main general of Western Chu in the Battle of Weishui, Long He looked up to Han Xin and felt that if he could become a general of an army, he must be a person who stood tall in the sky, not an incompetent person who was timid and afraid of things and was willing to accept the humiliation of his crotch, so he felt that Liu Bang's choice of Han Xin was a trick.
Long and his thoughts were too one-sided, he did not see through the reasoning behind this, since Han Xin could accept the humiliation of crotch, this showed that he was a character who could stretch and bend, and it was precisely because Long and did not see things comprehensively, so he would lose to Xiang Yu in Weishui.
For Liu Bang, Han Xin was the key to his conquest of the world. Without Han Xin, Liu Bang would not be able to enter Guanzhong, let alone compete with the King of Western Chu for the world, in addition, Xiang Yu was very loyal to Liu Bang, he handed over Xiang Yu's general Zhong Lixuan, ignored the plot of dividing the world, and focused on his own Bole Liu Bang, from this point of view, Liu Bang had no reason to kill Han Xin.
Liu Bang did not kill Han Xin, and also gave the title of King of Sanqi, "King of Sanqi" means "with Heaven qi", "with the earth", "with the king Qi", at the same time, another strategist Zhang Liang beside Liu Bang also asked Liu Bang to write a pardon: "See the sky do not kill, see the earth do not kill, see the iron do not kill." ”
From the reward given to him by Liu Bang, it can be seen that the Han Dynasty had no fixed law to kill him, and it can be said that Han Xin exchanged his supernatural feats for himself a gold medal to avoid death.
Historically, there is a truth that if you suddenly stand at a height that is difficult for others to reach, then you should lower your posture so that you can ensure your own life.
Han Xin, a super famous general, did not retire in time, but continued to occupy an important position, which made Liu Bang feel dangerous, so he suppressed him in order to let him know what he meant.
Who knows, Han Xin only knows how to fight, does not understand the court strategy, mistakenly believes that Liu Bang will not kill himself, Liu Bang has the heart to kill Han Xin, but he did not have the idea of killing Han Xin, after all, killing Han Xin is going to take a greater risk, which makes Liu Bang, an old scheming monarch, have to think twice.
Well, the most common statement about Han Xinzhi:
Lü Yan was the wife of Liu Bang, well aware of his husband's thoughts, so he took advantage of Liu Bang's going out to fight, he found Xiao He over, after some coercion and inducement, Xiao He thought of a way to kill Han Xin, Lü Yan in order to be able to kill Han Xin, made a "bell room" for people to hang Han Xin, blindfolded, so that he could not see the heavens and the earth, the feet could not touch the ground, after everything was completed, let the palace maid stab him to death with a bamboo pole.
However, it is recorded in the history books that Lü Yan and Xiao He conspired to booby-trap Han Xin in the bell room of changle palace and destroy the three tribes.
When Han Xin knew that he would not be able to escape death, he said: "If the people say, 'The cunning rabbit dies, the good dog Heng; the high bird is exhausted, the good bow is hidden; the enemy country is broken, and the plotter is killed.'" 'The world has been decided, and I am sure of it!' ”
After learning the news of Han Xin's death, Liu Bang only said: "And pity and joy."
After Han Xin's death, Liu Bang immediately posthumously enfeoffed Xiao He and asked them to meet the country, and then gave him five thousand food and a lieutenant position, which was given to five hundred soldiers.
Liu Bang's reward to Xiao He was very simple, that is, he had the idea to get rid of Han Xin, who was in serious trouble, so he had to reward him, after all, Han Xin's merit was so great that he couldn't sleep all night.
It is indeed a pity that a generation of war god Han Xin ended up like this.
The reason why Han Xin ended up like this is that he had a big problem in his life, so that his death was very normal in the eyes of many people.
Therefore, while we have to do things, we must also know how to behave in the world, otherwise everything is in vain.
