Later, it is said that the middle and lower levels of the army are Liu Bang's people, but how they become Liu Bang's people is a problem worth playing, certainly not all of them were promoted by Liu Bang, and even only a small part of them were mentioned by Liu Bang, but Liu Bang's daily speech and demeanor can convince most people, and they can make people think that this person is the boss.
This is called a leader. Playing scattered and falling into the river is ruled by the fishermen, it is difficult to say who is more powerful, in the end they are two completely different kinds of people.
This is called personal charm, a very complex thing, both innate ability and acquired exercise. Han Xin and Xiang Yu's business ability is super strong, so the ability of the people at the bottom cannot be exerted, the sense of existence cannot be brushed, and it is difficult to be promoted, and naturally there will be no sense of belonging to such a team.
Liu Bang's own business ability is scum, so he has to rely on those capable people under him, these people have the ability to be exerted, have a sense of existence, have a sense of belonging, and are naturally willing to follow Liu Bang.
If a career pattern is relatively small, then leaders like Han Xin and Xiang Yu obviously have advantages. But the business structure is so large that it is completely different, so the ability to lead the personal business is too strong to become a disadvantage.
The old foundation that Han Xin brought out of Guanzhong had long been fully diluted. When Han Xin continued to conquer Wei, Zhao, Yan, Qi, and other places, not counting the casualties and casualties of the first major battle, how much did the remaining troops have to expand? What about the supplement and reorganization of the main force of Han Xin's headquarters? That is to say, the old foundation given by Liu Bang has long been diluted.
But what is certain is that Liu Bang's actions in seizing the army are by no means as light as those written in the history books. Han Xin was a general and officer in the army. There should still be Liu Bang's supporters.
At the same time, Zhang Er was also mixed with sand in Han Xin's army, and Zhang Er and his subordinates also played a certain role in leading the way. The key to the two conquests lies in the first. After that, Liu Bang obviously did not need to mix sand anymore and seize the opportunity. Because he obviously would not passively give Han Xin the opportunity to reorganize the army.
Liu Bang installed more of his own people in Han Xin's army, and then handed them over to Han Xin's command. Therefore, before and after Han Xin defeated Xiang Yu, if he did not make a serious effort to carry out an internal cleaning like "Yan'an rectification". He simply couldn't act rashly. So this is the result of being taken down for the second time and the third time.
I think That Liu Bang dared to go into the Han camp alone to seize military power, and another explanation is that Liu Bang has a profound understanding of Han Xin's character of being a man of great kindness, principle, and weak political determination.
His advisers once said, "If you don't oppose your life, you will not be saved." But Han Xin said that if there was no Pei Gong, I would still be a common man with a flat head, so I could not do unrighteous things. Li Zongwu's evaluation of Han Xin was that he had a thick skin (and could be humiliated by the crotch) and a heart that was not dark enough. And Liu Bang is a thick-skinned and dark-hearted great demon.
Liu Bang accurately judged This personality and idea of Han, so he dared to go alone to take the military power. Why is Han's political decisiveness weak? Because at that time, Pei Gong gave Han a limited-time choice question: Give me military power, then everything is fine; if you don't give military power, then you are a rebellion with a real hammer.
In the short time at that time, Han may have made a choice to seek stability: or not to immediately oppose him. The history books do not mention the words of Han's advisers to Han, indicating that Han did not discuss with the advisers whether it was possible not to surrender troops. If Han's political decisiveness had one-tenth of his decisive power on the battlefield, it might be Liu Bang's.
Liu Bang appreciated Han Xin and gave him the treatment of a soldier at his worst, and Han Xin would repay Liu Bang just as Yu Rang repaid Zhi Bo, Nie Zheng repaid Han Zhongzi, and Jing Ke repaid Prince Yan.
