After the great peasant revolt at the end of Qin, Han Xin surrendered to Xiang Yu's army and followed Xiang Yu to fight the world. Han Xin was resourceful and repeatedly offered Xiang Yu a second count, but Xiang Yu was arrogant and arrogant and never adopted it. Han Xin was very disappointed, so he broke away from Xiang Yu and defected to Liu Bang's door.
At first, Han Xin was also not valued among Liu Bangjun, and once, Han Xin committed a crime because of negligence and needed to be beheaded according to the law at that time. When he was about to be executed, he said to xiahou bao, the beheading officer, that since the King of Han wanted to seize the world, why did he still want to kill a strong soldier like me. Xiahou Infant was very curious, so he introduced Han Xin to Liu Bang again.
Liu Bang still did not look at Han Xin and only gave him a very small official position, and did not have any real power. Han Xin waited for a long time and did not get the desired result, and in discouragement, he quietly slipped away while marching at night.
After Xiao He heard about it, he chased Han Xin back overnight. This is what posterity calls "Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin". Xiao He was convinced of Han Xin's talent, so he once again recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang. Only then did Liu Bang really attach importance to Han Xin, making him a general and relying on Han Xin everywhere.
