Han Xin was born in 231 BC and died in 196 BC, and he died at the age of 35, which can be described as an untimely death. Han Xin's youth and vigor also reflected Liu Bang's jealousy of him from the side, Liu Bang was old, but in a short time he might die, then his descendants could not sit on the throne safely.
In Liu Bang's eyes, Han Xin was an absolute military wizard, but also an absolute threat, and in Liu Bang's view, it was not only Han Xin who threatened the throne of Liu's descendants, but also other great generals such as Yingbu and Fan Duo. Born ordinary, the ambition of the birds
Han Xin came from an ordinary background, had great ambitions, was once guided by high-ranking people, and also received help from nobles. In the years before and after Han Xin's weak crown, he was a poor and sour reader without a place to live, because of the tyranny of Great Qin, there were constant rebellions in various places, Han Xin thought of learning and studying the art of war, hoping that one day he could become a great general who commanded thousands of armies and horses.
Han Xin had never solved the most basic problems of life, and he could not even afford to eat, because without a serious livelihood, he himself had to beg for food. Once, I met a kind lady by the river, who gave Han Xin food for many days in a row, and finally when the big lady left, she gave Han Xin a sum of money and a big cake, at this time Han Xin thought of becoming a great general no matter what, and repay this big lady's life-saving grace in the future.
Han Xin was not only subjected to difficulties in life, but also to discrimination, contempt and even insults from others, and even so, he did not give up his goal, so he went to join the army to restore the Chu state, which was led by the Chu nobleman Xiang Liang, and later led by Xiang Yu. Under Xiang Liang, Han Xin was only a general in charge, and this position was promised to Han Xin after Xiang Liang's death. In the vernacular, this is a high-level janitor, but how does this satisfy Han Xin's ambition to command thousands of troops and horses? It could not be reused under Xiang Yu, so Han Xin decided to run away.
Xiao He helped each other, and defeated Xiao He also Xiao He
Han Xin received help from nobles, this person was Xiao He, Xiao He recommended this person to Liu Bang, Liu Bang used Han Xin, and it was reused, Han Xin has since gone straight up, and his achievements are innumerable.
At first, Han Xin came to Liu Bang from Xiang Yu, but Liu Bang did not reuse him, and Han Xin felt that his talent was going to be buried forever, so he fled. So there was an allusion to Xiao He's pursuit of Han Xin under the moon, and Xiao He tried his best to persuade Han Xin to let him stay and recommend him to Liu Bang. In the end, Han Xin finally had a place to play and ascended to the worship platform. Later, Han Xin helped Liu Bang make great achievements and countless military achievements.
Han Xin's exploits at this time were specifically Fa Dynasty, Ping Wei, and Zhao Zhao, and each force could be defeated in front of him, and he was indestructible in front of others. Until he confronted Xiang Yu, in the end, he was victorious, defeating Xiang Yu and causing him to kill himself. Han Xin was an indispensable member of the great generals who established the Han Dynasty, and it was his military ability that allowed Liu Bang's army to win in danger every time, but Han Xin made Liu Bang very suspicious in terms of politics. Of course, there are reasons why Han Xin joined Liu Bang halfway through, and there are also reasons why Han Xin wanted Liu Bang to make him a false King of Qi during the battle, but Liu Bang was too jealous and thought that he wanted to add officials to the knighthood or even replace himself, which laid the groundwork for Liu Bang to kill Han Xin.
Liu Bang was ruthless, and the soldiers fell
Han Xin was a hero in Liu Bang, but also a potential threat, and after sealing Han Xin as the queen of Qi, Han Xin was proud of his high merits, and Liu Bang deeply disliked him.
Once, Chen Xi plotted a rebellion and exchanged views with Han Xin, which was known to Liu Bang and Lü Hou. So he ordered the arrest of Chen Xi, and finally tricked Han Xin into using the excuse of discussing military affairs, and waited for the opportunity to kill Han Xin.
Because of Han Xin's status as a prince, Liu Bang had also promised not to kill him, and this could not kill him with conditions, that is, "three no slashes". That is, "see the sky without chopping, see the ground without chopping, see the iron without chopping", if you think carefully, you can completely kill Han Xin, not at any time can not kill Han Xin.
epilogue
So Lü Hou asked a group of palace women to surround Han Xin with cloth, and with force to hang it in the air, and finally stabbed Han Xin with sharp bamboo, and a generation of war gods Han Xin died.
The death of Han Xin left two idioms: "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He". If Han Xin had been defensive against Xiao He, then he would certainly not have been killed so quickly, and as for his ending, he could only blame Han Xin for his lack of heart and determination to establish himself as king, otherwise, why did Han Xin end up like this?
