Han Xin was the first hero of the Western Han Dynasty, and some people at that time commented on Han Xin like this: "The merit is incomparable, and there is no worldly birth." What is a little unborn? That is to say, there will be no second Han Xin in this world, and his merits will not be comparable to his.
Han Xin does not seem to have a long period of growth, and he can plan the overall situation before he goes out of the mountain, and the slightest opportunity will surprise the whole world. He has a big picture view of the leader, and he also has a variety of changes on the spot.
At that time, there was an evaluation of him: the most faithful, the country is unparalleled.
Where is peerless? Unparalleled in the understanding of the situation and the war. He was so excellent, he was so miserable in the early stage, and everyone shouted to kill in the later stage. His flaws are more of a personality.
Such an ambitious, ambitious, pursuing, capable person still falls on the unsophistication.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Han Xin's ambitions</h1>
Han Xin is ambitious, but his ambition is not the ambition of being an emperor.
There is no doubt that Han Xin is loyal to Liu Bang, but there are too many things mixed in this loyalty.
Han Xin is a standard scholar ideology, in order to preserve the honor of the nobility, Han Xin will not rebel.
The second is that Han Xin repays the favor of knowing the encounter.
What was Han Xin's reason for not wanting to betray Liu Bang at that time?
According to historical records, he said to Pu Tong: "Those who ride on people's cars carry people's troubles, those who wear people's clothes carry people's worries, and those who eat people die." ”
What does that mean? That is to say, if you sit in someone's car, you must carry the sufferings of others on your own body, because he has already carried me with his car; when you wear other people's clothes, you must also regard other people's worries as your own worries and put them in your own heart; if you eat other people's things, you must repay them with your life, and you would rather die than complete other people's affairs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > birds are hidden in bows, rabbits are cooked by dead dogs</h1>
In 201 BC, Liu Bang trapped Han Xin in the name of rebellion. When Han Xin was caught, he looked up at the sky and sighed, the birds hid with bows, and the rabbits cooked dead dogs. "Birds hide with bows, rabbits cook with dead dogs".
This sentence comes from Fan Li, the doctor under King Yue.
The story of Yue Wang's gouge is very familiar to everyone, called "lying down and tasting guts".
At that time, there were two main people who assisted the Yue King in practicing his salary and taking revenge: one was the doctor Fan Li, and the other was the doctor Wen. After the Yue Kingdom destroyed the State of Wu, Dr. Fan Li said to Dr. Wen, let's go, our task has been completed; the Yue King can share hardships and hardships and cannot share wealth, you must remember: "The birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks" - this is the source of "the bird is full of bow, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked".
The lackey here refers to a dog that runs very fast— in Old Chinese, "walking" means to run—the term "running dog" comes from here.
In his bones, Liu Bang did not want to seal the king with a different surname, but He han xin had to be sealed.
Moreover, Han Xin did something that made Liu Bang very helpless and angry, that is, to force Liu Bang to make him king.
Before the decisive battle with Xiang Yu, Han Xin wrote to Liu Bang in the State of Qi, after pacifying the State of Qi, to the effect that the rebellion in Qidi was endless, because qidi did not have a boss, so it was better that you make me the acting king of Qi, and I promised that there would be no more rebellion in Qidi in the future.
At that time, the situation was compelling, Liu Bang wanted to defeat Xiang Yu, and he had to ask Han Xin to participate in the war, but he had no choice but to seal it.
But as soon as Xiang Yu died, Liu Bang immediately seized Han Xin's military power.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > The tragedy of Han Xin</h1>
At that time, some strategists persuaded Han Xin to leave Liu Bang in an attempt to achieve a three-legged situation.
But Han Xin refused, and he said to Wu Shi: "The subject matters the king, the official is not LangZhong, the position is not a stubborn, he does not listen to words, and he does not use paintings, so he returns to Han with his back." The king of Han gave me the seal of the general, gave me tens of thousands of people, undressed me, pushed me to eat and eat, and listened to my words, so I had to do this. Madame believed in me deeply, and I had an ominous back, although it was not easy to die. Fortunately, I am thankful to King Xiang. ”
Mr. Wushi, you came from Xiang Yu, and I Han Xin used to be working as an errand boy under Xiang Yu, so what did Xiang Yu do to me? The official was not a langzhong, but he was no more than a halberd, and he stood guard at his door all day with a halberd. He didn't listen to my idea, and he didn't listen to the plan I made, so I left Xiang Wang's. I came to the side of the King of Han, what did the King of Han do to me? He gave me the seal of general, made me the commander-in-chief of the three services, gave me so many people and horses, and let me gallop on the battlefield to make meritorious achievements, so that I have Han Xin today! Besides, the King of Han was so kind to me, he took off his clothes for me to wear and gave me his own food to eat. A man who treats me so well, so dearly, and so lovingly, it would be unlucky if I betrayed him. I would rather die than change my heartfelt feelings for the King of Han. I'm sorry very much, Mr. Wu, please thank You King Xiang on my behalf.
Overall, Han Xin is indeed a real person, with great ideals in his heart, but he is also greedy and afraid of death in the face of danger, and has always believed that he is a genius in the world. When the opportunity came, he could seize it with his talent and soar. But it is easy to be moved. Knowing that the counselor is right, but being swayed by the world, it leads to tragedy.
Han Xin is long for strategy, but shorter than human feelings, and lost in arrogance. It is necessary to know that "the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks". In any case, we have to stay sane and not get into an emotional stalemate that ends up cooking the rabbit to death.
