Han Xin's life has three lows. The first is the juvenile era, the second is the middle and early period of Liu Bangjun, and the third is the era of the Marquis of Huaiyin.
His life can be described as ups and downs. After Chen Sheng's Wu Guang uprising, the world was in chaos, and Han Xin, in order to gain a future, threw himself into Xiang Liang's account. Xiang Liang tossed and turned fiercely for a year, and was killed and defeated by Zhang Handan, and his subordinates followed his nephew Xiang Yu.
And Han Xin was not badly mixed in the Xiang army. When he arrived at Xiang Yu's tent, he was appointed as the executive langzhong. As for how big this langzhong official is, due to the lack of historical data, it is not easy to make a specific definition, and we can only judge from other directions.
As we all know, Han Xin left the Xiang clique because he did not use it several times, and only then did he feel that there was no future for development and defected to the Han army.
Several times, it was shown that Han Xin was able to directly contact Xiang Yu and could also give advice. This shows that he is at least mixed up in the middle.
In addition, from the performance of Zhong Lixuan and Long Ji, it can also be seen that Han Xin is not a big head soldier. After Liu Bang established the state, Zhong Became a Fugitive and hid under the account of his friend Han Xin, the King of Chu.
Zhong Lixuan was a general under Xiang Yu at the time, but later became jealous because of Chen Ping's dissension, so he chose to die. At the time of his life and death, he thought of Han Xin, indicating that the relationship between the two was very unusual.
In addition, when Long He led the army to rescue the State of Qi, he said that he knew Han Xin very well, was an easy generation, and was very contemptuous in his heart.
The two under Xiang Yu were familiar with Han Xin, which proved very well that Han Xin was not a nameless person under Xiang Yu's account.
Moreover, Xiang Liang only had one year from the beginning of the army to his death. Xiang Yu only had two years to take over the troops and to divide the princes. Han Xin was able to get ahead in such a short period of time, indicating that the starting point was not low. Only later did he defect to Liu Bang's army that he ushered in another dark moment in his life. If it weren't for the two people, Han Xin would have died and had no place to bury himself, and he wouldn't have been able to wait for Qing shi to leave his name.
At first, he served as a small officer in the Han army, but after some time, he could not be promoted, and it is estimated that he felt that the world was big and had no place for himself, so he wanted to run away. Unexpectedly, his hands and feet were not clean, and he was caught and wanted to pull out and behead him.
We know that if it were not for the position arranged by Han Xin to be at the back, or if Xiahou Bao did not happen to pass by, his life would have been in a hurry.
However, under many coincidences, Han Xin was appreciated by Xiahou Bao and recommended to Liu Bang.
Old Liu became the King of Han at this time, surrounded by brothers who could be trusted, and because of Xiahou Bao's face, he arranged an official position for Han Xin, a foreigner.
It is not bad to say that Lieutenant Zhisu is an official who manages grain, but there is still a gap between this and Han Xin's ideals in life. As the logistics chief of the Liu Group, Xiao He naturally became the chief official of Han Xin.
Xiao He and Han Xin worked together for a while, and felt that this person was amazing in speech and unparalleled in the country, but he still failed to enter Liu Bang's eyes.
In the end, Han Xin was helpless and chose to flee again and find another way out. It is also because of this departure that there is an allusion to Xiao He chasing Han Xin and taking the stage to pay homage to the general.
Therefore, Han Xin's encounter in the Han army was thrilling, if it were not for luck, he would have become a ghost under the sword.
However, luck is also part of the strength, and later Han Xin pushed three thousand miles, destroyed Zhao, lowered Yan, and achieved immortal achievements, and was praised as a soldier immortal by later generations.
As for his tragic ending, in addition to the high achievement of the Lord, there are actually deeper reasons.
This reason should be analyzed from the first and second trough periods.
Han Xin was a young man who took a sword through the streets and did not produce anything, so poor that he could not afford to eat, but he had a good face, and he rubbed his rice without level. According to his ability to lead troops, he should not be mixed up to this point. So why exactly?
There is only one reason, Han Xin is a descendant of the nobility. His behavior was the same as that of the eight banner disciples of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty, who guarded the glory of his ancestors, felt that he was superior to others, and could not afford to eat, and he still wanted this grandfather.
Han Xin dressed in rags all day, carrying a sword to flaunt the market, ordinary people felt nothing, the former Chu nobles may be like this, drifting mother still pitiful to give him food. But someone didn't pee on this pot, and the hooligans on the street, regardless of the descendants of the birds, came up and gave Han Xin a crotch humiliation.
In fact, the history books do not say much about Han Xin's life, but it may as well be speculated. We know that there is a genius in this world, but there is no genius who is born to know and who is born out of nothing.
Historically, those famous generals who can recruit good warriors have either slowly accumulated experience on the battlefield or learned and used the art of war. There is no such thing as a big character who does not know one, and when he comes up, he will soar to the sky and win every battle.
Han Xin's genius belongs to the latter, he fell to the cloth, but he had read books in the past when he was a high-gate household, and inherited the spirit of nobility. And this aristocratic spirit is the bane that caused Han Xin's dismal ending.
After he led his troops to destroy Qi Wang Guang and Long Ji, he was furious and wanted to be a false Qi king with Liu Bang.
The Great Qin Empire was destroyed ii, and the county system implemented had not yet formed the mainstream thinking. As a descendant of the nobility, Han Xin's thinking in his brain is still stuck in the sub-feudal system, and his ultimate goal is to restore the glory of his ancestors and crown the king and worship the general.
Therefore, Liu Bang crowned him as the True King of Qi, and he had already realized his ideal of life. Xiang Yu sent Wu to lobby, and Han Xin believed that the King of Han was not thin on himself and did not know what he was behind. The counselor Pu Tong persuaded the three divisions of the world, and after he thought about it, he thought that he had done a lot of work and Thatrito would not give a black hand to Libang.
From this point, it can be seen that Han Xin is already very satisfied with the king, and at the same time adheres to the noble faith.
Later, Liu Bang fixed the world, and Han Xin was attacked as the King of Chu, and he was also proud. Dealing with drifting mothers and self-insulting teenagers is the attitude of the rich and noble returning to their hometowns.
Later, the killing of Zhong Lixuan also proved that Han Xin never thought of rebelling.
When he was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin and confined to Chang'an, Han Xin had a long and short sigh of high posture all day, ashamed to be on the same rank as Fan Duo, because his ideals were shattered. In Han Xin's heart, there was no idea of retreating from the rapids after achieving fame, and it was likely that he also bred a feeling that Liu Bang had no faith, so he took action again. But everything is too late, and Cheng Ye Xiao He defeats Xiao He, which ends Han Xin's life.
When Liu Bang returned to Chang'an and heard the news of Han Xin's death, his reaction was both joy and pity. It shows that Liu Bang is ambivalent to Han Xin, and he wants to kill but cannot bear to do it, and in the end he can only borrow Lü Yan to push the boat along the water.
Therefore, Han Xin's dismal ending, in addition to the merits of the lord, also has a major relationship with his life rationality and personality characteristics. But history has no if, character determines fate, and it really makes a lot of sense. If Han Xin can put his ideals a little higher, perhaps the dispute at the end of Qin is another pattern, and perhaps a different history will be written.
