Han Xin initially defected to Xiang Liang and did not make a name for himself.
After Xiang Liang's death, Han Xin was placed under Xiang Yu and appointed as LangZhong. Han Xin gave Advice to Xiang Yu many times, but none of them were adopted.
Han Xin felt that there was no future, and turned to Liu Bang, who had entered Shu, but he was also not famous.
Not only that, Han Xin was almost beheaded because of his offense, but fortunately he was saved by Tenggong and strongly recommended to Liu Bang.
Liu Bang then appointed Han Xin as the governor of Zhisu, but he still did not feel that there was anything peculiar about Han Xin.
When Liu Bang arrived in Southern Zheng, his generals and soldiers deserted on the road, and Han Xin did not wait for Liu Bang's further reuse and also ran away.
Xiao He hurried to chase after him, which chased Han Xin back.
After experiencing this incident, Xiao He vigorously recommended to Liu Bang, praising Han Xin as an unparalleled soldier in the country, and Liu Bang decided to appoint Han Xin as a general.
In addition, a solemn and grand ceremony was also carried out, and it was also a day picking, and it was also a fasting altar, etc., which surprised the whole army.
When Han Xin went to Liu Bang's camp, he had never made the slightest battle achievement, and he had been obscure before, so why did Liu Bang suddenly promote him to the position of a great general?
What are Liu Bang's main considerations for doing so?
Many people may say that it is because Xiao Hehui's eyes are pearls, and Han Xin does have extraordinary military talents, almost laying half of the Han Dynasty for Liu Bang.
But this is only an afterthought, and now that people who look at history know Han Xin's later military achievements, how could Liu Bang at that time predict it?
Although Han Xin talks about military, strategic, and military techniques, who can guarantee that Han Xin is not the next Zhao Kuo to talk about soldiers on paper?
Earlier, someone recommended Song Yi to the King of Chu Huai, saying that he was a man who knew soldiers, and the King of Huai summoned a conversation, thinking that he was indeed a talent, and was very happy, so he appointed him as a general and led the Chu army north to save Zhao, and as a result, he was killed by Xiang Yu in the middle of the way.
After Liu Bang appointed Han Xin as a general, although he listened to Han Xin's advice, he did not immediately let him lead the troops to fight, and also decided that liu Bang personally led the troops in the Three Qins and the troops of Chu.
Later, he began to gradually reuse Han Xin, and Han Xin's military was slowly exerted.
In fact, Liu Bang's sudden reuse of Han Xin was not to expect him to fight, but to inspire morale.
According to the "Covenant of the King of Huai", Liu Bang was to be crowned king of Guanzhong, but as a result, he was sealed by Xiang Yu to a remote area of Bashu, and was forcibly disarmed by Xiang Yu, and the original 100,000 horses were reduced to 30,000.
Liu Bang was so angry that he wanted to fight with Xiang Yu, but his strength was not good, so he couldn't help Xiang Yu.
When the march reached Nanzheng, many people fled on the way and ran home.
It can be seen that Liu Bang's army was demoralized and lacked confidence.
How can an army without morale win a battle?
How did Liu Bang lead them to set up the Three Qins?
After Mao Zedong led the Autumn Harvest Uprising, he failed to attack the big city and led his troops south up the mountain. Along the way, they encountered the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang and fought hard.
Coupled with the fact that the continuous march is very hard, malaria is prevalent, many people die in the process of marching, the morale of the troops is very low, and the mood is very negative.
Desertion and escape have become a matter of public discussion.
Mao Zedong reorganized the troops in Sanwan and mobilized the troops.
He said: The enemy put cold guns behind us, there is nothing remarkable, everyone is born of a woman, the enemy has two feet, we also have two feet.
Comrade He Long started with two kitchen knives, and now he is a military commander and has brought a soldier, and now we have not only two kitchen knives, we have two battalions of people, more than seven hundred guns, are you still afraid that you will not be able to do it?
This greatly encouraged people's hearts, and people talked about it one after another on the way to continue the march: "Committee member Mao is not afraid, what are we afraid of, He Long can start with two kitchen knives, can't we start a family with hundreds of people?" ”
Mao Zedong set an example for the troops.
Liu Bang chose Han Xin.
First, Han Xin was not famous before, and everyone did not understand it, so it was also a bit mysterious.
However, Teng Gong appreciated him, Xiao He went to recover him overnight, and Liu Bang directly appointed him as a general and held a grand appointment ceremony.
After a series of operations, this made Han Xin more mysterious in the eyes of everyone, and the soldiers would wonder if the Han army really came to a god of war who could lead us to victory.
As long as there is a lot of propaganda in the military, morale and confidence will be boosted.
And Fan Duo, Cao Shan, and other old acquaintances, their level is a few pounds, the soldiers are very clear, can not achieve such an effect.
Second, Han Xin was not an old base of Liu Bangpei County, he had defected from the Chu army.
He had not achieved any military feats before, but he was appointed as a great general.
It is as if an ordinary person moved a piece of wood, but the martingale ordered someone to reward fifty taels of gold.
As soon as this explosive news came out, Liu Bang's image of Aicai was established.
Those talented and ambitious people who heard this news must have come to run, and those who wanted to escape would not leave for the time being, and they also looked forward to fighting bravely under Liu Bang's hands and fighting for a future.
The soldiers' desire to fight was greatly strengthened.
There are also such examples in life, somewhere there is a person who suddenly bought a lottery ticket and won the jackpot, after the news spread, many people who usually do not buy lottery tickets have also bought a few lottery tickets to try their luck?
After appointing Han Xin as a general, a conversation with Liu Bang also gave Liu Bang great confidence, the boss was so confident, the underground soldiers and generals saw it, and naturally followed the confidence a hundred times.
Therefore, boosting morale was the main purpose of Liu Bang's appointment of Han Xin as a general, and at the low point of life, confidence was more important than gold.
As for whether Han Xin really had extraordinary military talent, it didn't matter at the time.
If the follow-up proof is not, the removal of Han Xin is, and there is no loss.
But the follow-up facts proved that Han Xin was indeed unparalleled in the country, and Liu Bang really won the jackpot.
