In the "History of the Yue King's Gou Jian Family", Fan Li once wrote the following passage to the Qi guofu Wenzhuang:
"Birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden; Cunning rabbits die, lackeys cook".
However, for now, this sentence is obviously more commonly used to describe Han Yin waiting for Han Xin to seize the world for Liu Bang, the king of Han, but the final fate is that he was booby-trapped and killed by Lü Hou and Xiao He in collusion, making the world sigh "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He".
However, few people know that before Han Xin died, he actually shouted three words at Lü Hou and Xiao He- "Providence!" ”。
It's just that originally these three words were Han Xin's lamentation of the injustice of fate, but now it has become the mantra of many people on the wine table, whether the heartache and helplessness are the same, people don't know where to start.
Han Xin
The story of Han Xin's humiliation under his crotch must have been heard by everyone. From the moment this story appeared, it was also doomed that Han Xin's life would never be ordinary.
Although In his early years, Han Xin had a very hard life because he had nothing to rely on and no livelihood, but fortunately, he never gave up and insisted on waiting for an opportunity.
At the beginning, Han Xin defected to Xiang Yu, the most powerful at that time, hoping to display his talents and ambitions. But Xiang Yu was self-conscious and did not look up to Han Xin at all, so Han Xin was angry and turned to Liu Bang.
But how could an ordinary soldier easily meet Liu Bang and get the appreciation of the other side? Even if Liu Bang was mostly defeated in the face of Xiang Yu at that time, there was also a certain amount of power in hand. Faced with such a situation, Han Xin once again prepared to leave.
Instead of doing nothing to be an ordinary soldier, it is better to wait for the person who can really trust him.
Fortunately, at that time, Xiao He had heard about Han Xin's talent very early, and looked at Han Xin with admiration under the conversation, so he had "Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin" and successfully put Han Xin in charge of Liu Bang's soldiers and horses.
Since then, Liu Bang, the King of Han, has finally been able to fight back and forth when facing Xiang Yu. As the Han King's power grew larger and larger, and more and more soldiers and horses were controlled, Han Xin's military talent was further excavated.
In the end, with the military strategy of "darkness Chen Cang", Liu Bang's group took the lead in invading Xianyang and successfully occupied the rich Guanzhong region, which also made sufficient preparations for the later seizure of the world.
Fighting again and again, Han Xin constantly weakened Xiang Yu's military strength, and in the Battle of Xiaxia, he completely defeated Xiang Yu and assisted Liu Bang in establishing the Han Dynasty. From the perspective of later generations, it was obviously a matter of course to ask the King of Han for such meritorious deeds to ask for a corresponding reward.
From ancient times to the present, a word that has been circulating has become an important reason why Han Xin finally had to die, that is, the lord of high merit. How big was Han Xin's power at that time?
Not only did Liu Bang's generals obey Han Xin's orders, but even Xiang Yu's old department was absorbed by him. If Han Xin wanted to, he would be able to launch an attack on Liu Bang almost at any time.
However, out of trust in Xiao He and his own strength, the conceited Han Xin finally walked into the palace that made him doomed. When the sword and axe hand appeared, Han Xin finally understood that when he was alone, even if he had great talent, it was not as sharp as the sword and axe.
Han Xin's regret
To this day, many people still sigh for Han Xin when they learn about this history. In particular, Han Xin's words "Providence" have made many people feel emotional.
In terms of military talent, looking at the entire Chinese feudal dynasty, Han Xin can definitely rank among the best. But the complexity and cunning of the political struggle is obviously Han Xin's weakness.
From the beginning of the end, ranked among the kings of Qi, Han Xin's life was already wonderful enough. When he was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin struggled and hesitated, and he wondered if he really wanted to go down the path of rebellion.
But reality obviously did not give him much time, and when he hesitated, Lü Hou and Xiao He had already found the final destination for him.
Three words, the Tao does not exhaust Han Xin's heartache and disobedience, but at the same time it is also an exclamation of obedience to fate. Nowadays, on the wine table, many people like to use these three words to express their inner emotions after losing the game, but I don't know if people know the origin of these three words and the specific situation when these three words appear.
In fact, many people will think, since the relationship with the King of Han has already appeared obviously cracked, why did Han Xin still credulously believe Xiao He's words and choose to go alone to the palace to discuss things with Xiao He? The answer is simple, Han Xin still believes that Xiao He will not deceive himself until his death.
For Han Xin, if there was no Xiao He at the beginning, it would be impossible to have the current Han Xin, and he would not have achieved such an achievement at all. It's just that Han Xin doesn't understand that the way politicians think about things is completely different from that of military experts.
While militarists were still thinking about how to win the war, politicians had already thought about how to divide the forces after the war.
