Before being made a general by Liu Bangbai, Han Xin did not have any experience in leading troops, but Xiao He and Liu Bang were sure that Han Xin could take on the role of "general", why was that?
Huaiyin Hou Han Xin had already undergone a rocket promotion before he was put on the altar to worship the general, because of Xiahou Ying's recommendation, Lian Ao was promoted to the captain of Zhisu, but Han Xin was still not satisfied, still felt that he was not used, so he became a deserter, Xiao He knew that Han Xin was a deserter, so he hurried to chase, Han Xin ran and ran there, Xiao He chased and chased here, after catching up, Xiao He brought Han Xin back, and recommended Han Xin as a "general" in front of Liu Bang, Liu Bang looked at Xiao He's face and worshiped Han Xin as a "general".
How did Xiao He and Liu Bang determine that Han Xin could serve as a "general"?
Judging from the records in the history books, Liu Bang and Xiao He are not ordinary people, and they both have extraordinary ability to read people, especially Xiao He.
Long before Liu Bang, Xiao He and others raised the matter, Xiao He served as the chief official rafter in Pei County, Liu Bang served as the chief official rafter in Pei County, Xiao He's rank was far higher than Liu Bang's, but Xiao He has always been very optimistic about Liu Bang and often protects Liu Bang.
It was also when Xiao He was the chief official in the rafters, Xiao He was the first in the assessment, and the officials from Xianyang wanted to recommend Xiao He to Xianyang to be an official, but Xiao He politely refused, why would Xiao He politely decline the opportunity to work in Xianyang? There is no record in the history books, but from the later development, Xiao He's choice was correct, Xiao He later followed Liu Bang to oppose Qin, always the second in command, the two did it all the way, Liu Bang finally became the emperor of Han, and Xiao He became the Xiangguo of Han.
No one knows why Xiao He is so discerning, we only know that after Han Xin was promoted to the captain of Zhisu, he had contact with Xiao He, and after several contacts, Xiao He's impression of Han Xin was a "strange" character, at that time, Xiao He could be regarded as having seen many princes and heroes, but he could be surprised by a middle-level officer who had just been promoted by Lian Ao, it must be because Han Xin was indeed different, and Xiao He later described Han Xin to Liu Bang as "unparalleled in the country".
Liu Bang is also very powerful, often in just a few words, you can see whether a person has real skills.
History records that after ascending the altar to pay homage to the general, Liu Bang and Han Xin had a long talk, this long talk is equivalent to an interview, Han Xin's appointment process is reversed, the normal process should be first interview and then appointment, to Han Xin here is first appointed and then interviewed, the interview is over, Liu Bang gave Han Xin a high evaluation, thinking that "it is too late to get the letter".
In addition, we can also see that although Liu Bang worshiped Han Xin as a "general", in the two major battles of the Three Qins and the Eastern Expedition to Pengcheng, Han Xin did not have the opportunity to lead troops independently, which is different from other "generals" who have long followed Liu Bang such as Ji Shang and Zhou Bo, after the Battle of Pengcheng, Han Xin, as a "general", also collected a large number of Han army pawns, Liu Bangfang gave Han Xin the opportunity to lead troops alone, sent Han Xin to conquer the Western Wei state, Western Wei king Wei Bao just faced the Han army led by Han Xin, was captured by Han Xin, since then, Han Xin had the opportunity to hang on the battlefield.
Therefore, this history is indeed special, special is special, Liu Bang first gave Han Xin the title, but did not immediately give Han Xin real power after giving the title, but constantly investigated Han Xin, until Liu Bang determined that Han Xin was not Zhao Kuo on paper, and only then let Han Xin do it.
