Han Xin followed the Xiang Liang uprising in the early days, and then Xiang Liang was defeated by Zhang Han in Dingtao, and finally died. So Han Xin was incorporated into Xiang Yu's army. Fan Zeng, the counselor of Xiang Yu, once told Xiang Yu that Han Xin has wizards. If it is not important, kill them to avoid being used. As a result, Xiang Yu didn't listen, but let Han Xin be a halberd card shark (equivalent to a doorman). Later, Han Xin took refuge in Liu Bang and became a small official in charge of the granary. It was Xiao He who discovered his talent and highly recommended Liu Bang, requesting to defeat Han Xin as a general. This is how Han Xin began to be reused.
The biggest feature of Han Xin's campaign is to attack the enemy and engage in psychological warfare. First, he tried to break the psychological defense of the opposing soldiers. The battle he commanded is an art, how can a man who can bring his military talents into play to such an extent not go down in history! The most classic and famous World War I is the last one. In the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang's so-called 600,000-strong allied forces were defeated by Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite soldiers, and local governors also defected to Chu at this time. In order to regain the superiority, Liu Bang decided on a new strategy: divide the troops into two ways, stall Xiang Yu by himself, let Han Xin lead the army to the north, conquer various governors, and open up a new battlefield in order to form a situation of encircling Xiang Yu. The first thing Han Xin faced when he went north was Wei. Facing Wang Wei's defensive posture across the river, Han Xin drew up a battle plan of "Expedition to the West, Quick Decision", and finally crossed the river with a wooden basin. Wei was caught off guard and won Wei at once. Then Han Xin won Daiguo with high momentum, and then marched towards Zhao Jinjun, who was not as vulnerable as Wei and Dai.
Zhao Wangxie sent 200,000 troops to guard Jingxing. Facing Zhao's tight defense, Han Xin was not afraid at all. He secretly sent two thousand people to hide the Han flag, took a remote path, and ambushed outside Zhao's military camp. He led the main force to fight for water. When the Korean and Zhao armies met, the Han army quickly retreated to the river. Han Xin turned to the soldiers and shouted, "Today, there is death but no life. When are you waiting? " After listening to the soldiers, everyone fought to the death, and one block was ten. Although the Zhao army is numerous, it is difficult to win at the moment. At this time, the Han army ambushing outside Zhao Junying quickly occupied the camp and planted the Han flag. The Han flags all over the mountains made Zhao army mistakenly think that the Lord would be captured. At this time, Zhao's army was distracted and fled everywhere. Han Xin's 56-point attack led to the ambush of the Han army before and after, and quickly pacified Zhao! Han Xin broke Zhao 200,000 with tens of thousands in World War I, and became famous for a while. Then he surrendered Yan with a foot of paper, leaving a beautiful talk of "writing with a foot"!
The last battle is actually a taboo in the art of war. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, the arrangement of troops should be: this array has its back to the mountain, and its front is facing the water, so we should camp. Han Xin did exactly the opposite, and it was the application of truth: death and afterlife. This move is quite risky. If you are not careful, you will be wiped out. It's just Sue. He lost this important defensive level because of improper use. However, Han Xin used it so wonderfully that it had to be amazing!
Han Xin's military capability is not only reflected in its command and combat capability, but also in its mobilization and training capability. As we all know, when Chu and Han contended, Liu Bang was in charge of the "prodigal family" and Han Xin was in charge of the "rich family", saying that Liu Bang always lost in the war, while Han Xin was invincible and invincible, helping Liu Bang to build the army and train. Han Xin's soldier-making ability can be called Liu Bang's "soldier-making machine". When Han Xin conquered the vassal states, Liu Bangceng transferred soldiers many times. On one occasion, before Han Xin attacked Zhao, Liu Bangpa sent messengers to transfer the main force of Han Xin. The second time, Gao Liu lost Xingyang to Xiang Yu, fled overnight, crossed the Yellow River, suddenly broke into Han Xin barracks, won the rank, and transferred all his main forces, leaving only two thousand old and weak soldiers to Han Xin and ordering Han Xin to cut Qi. Han Xin was transferred to the main force twice without any warning, but he was able to summon new soldiers in a short time and train them into a team capable of fighting the enemy. It can be seen that Han Xin's mobilization ability and training ability are also quite excellent.
When Han Xin became a general, he reorganized the army-he decided to set up Hanzhong and Sanqin-he went north to Pingwei-he destroyed the generation-he destroyed Zhao-he swept up-he surrounded Chu, and finally he helped Liu Bang destroy the world. With so many series of battles, many people can't achieve the result in their whole lives. It only took Han Xin more than four years, and the unparalleled national scholar deserved it.
Han Xin is the most outstanding general after Sun Wu and Bai Qi. His greatest feature is his flexible use of troops, which makes him the best general in the history of China War. Han Xin, who knows the art of war, said that "the more troops, the better". He left many tactical allusions for later generations: building a plank road in Ming Dynasty, hiding behind suspicion, xia yang smuggling, wooden traders crossing the river and last stand, raising the flag and changing it, according to his interpretation, breaking the water with Shen Sha, attacking halfway, being besieged on all sides, ambushing on all sides and so on. They are all wonderful, which shows the name of "soldier fairy"!
Han Xin's death is due to the "Gao Zhen's work", which makes sense, but the ending of "Gao Zhen's work" doesn't have to be dead! Neither three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty nor Xiao He was killed. Why was Han Xin killed? The source of this tragedy is that Han Xin's personality defect is too "white" politically. "No one is perfect, gold is not full of red", maybe God is fair. Han Xin's military ability is incredible, which makes future generations regard him as a "soldier fairy" and a "handsome god". Perhaps it was because he was obsessed with the battlefield all his life, and he was obsessed with commanding the three armed forces and directing the war, which led him to have no time to analyze the political intrigue, which led him to know nothing about the political struggle and was finally calculated and completely unaware. His death is more because of himself!
There are not many records about Han Xin's life in history, but we can dig from the clues of Han Xin. First of all, Han Xin can't be a common people. Early Han Xin carried a sword and ate and drank everywhere. Thus, Han Xin must be of noble birth. After Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, in order to prevent people from rebelling and uprisings (Chen Sheng and Guangwu were both uprisings, chopping wood into soldiers), the management of ironware was quite strict, and every household had to register, and it was not allowed to hide ironware. Sabre is already a symbol of nobility, and Han Xin's sabre is probably ancestral! The second is Han Xin's talent. There was no nine-year compulsory education in ancient times, so the popularization of culture and education was mixed. Ordinary people simply have no conditions or even qualifications to study. Education and study seem to be the exclusive rights of nobles and rich children. Finally, Han Xin's "idleness". As we all know, Han Xin didn't have children in his early days, and he idled around all day. He even had to rely on his floating mother to make a living, otherwise he might starve to death. At that time, if ordinary people did nothing about production, they would undoubtedly commit suicide (Liu Bang was also an idle rogue). However, people of noble birth are lofty and pretentious in their bones, and they are not allowed to engage in humble work. The subtle influence is fatal. Xiang Yu, who was born in a famous family, is an example. Reasoning and analyzing from various details, Han Xin was born in a noble family.
I can bear it, but I am proud of my talent. The humiliation of Han Xin's leg is well known, which fully embodies Han Xin's flexible character. Han Xin is tolerant, but at the same time he is arrogant and unwilling to start from the bottom. He has just joined the army and is eager to control the three armed forces. If you don't reuse him, he is a deserter. This is true for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Just like some contemporary college students, as soon as they step into society, they just want to be in a high position, be proud of their talents, and look down on people with low status.
Lofty but pretentious. Because Han Xin was born in a noble family, noble blood flowed in his body, and noble character was engraved in his bones. He would rather starve to death than engage in such humble labor to support himself, and he never thought of selling his sword, because it was a symbol of his status. This sword can reflect his sense of superiority and dignity, which is equivalent to his spiritual food. Han Xin, who said that he was lofty, so was he, but it also reflected his stubbornness. This respectable behavior shows his pretensions.
Grateful but ambitious. In the early days, Han Xin relied on his floating mother to deliver meals, so as not to starve to death. After his success, he also returned to his floating mother, leaving a beautiful talk that "a meal is worth 1000 yuan". Xiang Yu also sent people to lobby Han Xin, but Han Xin felt that Liu Bang was grateful and decisively refused to help Xiang Yu. This also reflects Han Xin's gratitude, which is his greatest advantage. However, Han Xin also has ambitions. After the Qi Dynasty was destroyed, Han Xin asked Liu Bang to stand on his own feet as the King of Qi. On the eve of the Gaixia War, he forced Liu Bang to seal his land. Liu bang won't send troops until he meets his demands. Such ambition directly laid a curse for his own ending.
It was because of Han Xin's personality defect and superior military talent that he was killed, but Han Xin could get away with it as long as he had a little brain in politics. Unfortunately, our "soldier fairy" was a little white in politics. Liu bang had killed him, but he didn't know it. He still simply thought that Liu Bang "took off my clothes and pushed me to eat". Such kindness won't hurt me! As we all know, Liu Bang is just a routine operation, just a political skill to win people's hearts!
1. You shouldn't take advantage of the general as soon as you appear. As soon as Han Xin appeared, he thought of governing the three schools and becoming a general. In Xiang Yu's place, he looked down on the humble doctor Ji, and in Liu Bang's place, he looked down on the small grain depot. Thinking about being a general and commanding the three armed forces all day is actually a taboo for job seekers. Without the power of size, how can you be in a high position? Finally, Xiao He strongly recommended Liu Bang, and Liu Bang only worshipped Han Xin because of Xiao He's face. Han Xin, who got his wish, is inevitably a little high, just like suddenly winning five million lottery tickets after working all his life. This contrast is too big. You, Han Xin, got your wish, but dissatisfaction is inevitable, not only for your colleagues, but also for your boss. On the surface, everyone loves you, but behind your back, there are endless troubles.
You shouldn't show yourself too much. As mentioned earlier, from becoming a general to helping Liu Bang destroy the world, Han Xin fought hundreds of battles, which took only four years to complete, and he never lost. What did you say you were doing? Are you so eager to show yourself and prove that you are unparalleled in the country and the world? Don't let others get in the way, the credit is all yours, the limelight is all yours, and you have lost your face. Do others drink northwest wind? The so-called "out of reach", regardless of Liu Bang, is that other soldiers are extremely dissatisfied with you, and Liu Bang is even more afraid that you will "contribute to Gao Zhen". Liu Bangben was suspicious by nature. How could he leave you in Han Xin after pacifying the world?
You shouldn't ask for anything in return when Liu Bang asks for help. To say that Han Xin's first two behaviors are annoying and uncomfortable at best, but they are not heinous. However, what Han Xin did this time directly encouraged Liu Bang to kill him. At that time, Liu Bang confronted Xiang Yu in Xingyang, and when he was about to die, he sent a distress signal to Han Xin. Han Xin didn't send troops to rescue in the first place, but regarded Qi as an equal opponent, and people's hearts were uncertain. In order to manage the state of Qi, he requested to be named King of Qi. Although it is said to be a fake king of Qi, it is tantamount to hitting Liu Bang in the face. When Liu Bang saw it, he was swearing directly. Fortunately, Sean advised him not to agree. Then, the Battle of Gaixia requested Han Xin's support, and Han Xin did the same thing, requesting the closure of the land. Although Liu bang agreed on the surface, it is inevitable that the two will settle accounts together in the future.
Han Xin's political ignorance doesn't stop there. When Liu Bang sent Shi Li Qi to make peace, he killed Shi Li Qi and angered Liu Bang, he shouldn't have sent troops. When Han Xin was deprived of military power and became king of Chu, he was accused of conspiring with Li Zhongfan. To show his loyalty, he forced Li Zhongfan to die. What a naive idea! Everyone knows that he is in great disaster now, but Han Xin still foolishly thinks that Liu Bang will let him go. Being demoted to Huaiyin Hou, he spoke wildly when he met Fan Kuai, and his every move reflected Han Xin's political "little white".
According to legend, when Liu Bang was chased by Xiang Yu to Xingyang, he repeatedly asked Han Xin to come to the rescue, but Han Xin refused to send troops. Xiao He told Liu that Han Xin wanted to raise him. Liu Bang named Han Xin the "King of Three Qi and Five Immortals". The "King of the Three Qi Dynasties" refers to the combination with the heavenly kings, kings and kings, while the "Five Immortals" refers to: seeing the death of heaven, seeing the death of the earth, seeing the death of the king, and tying the rope without killing the sword. Han Xin pursued Xiang Yu and finally laid the foundation for Liu Bang. As the so-called Lord of Gao Zhen, after Liu Bang became the Lord of the world, he was afraid that Han Xin's influence would threaten his country, so he wanted to get rid of Han Xin. But I personally sealed Han Xin's "Qi San Wang Wu Xian", so I borrowed Lv Hou's hand. Lv Hou and Xiao He called Han Xin to Changle Palace. They thought that the ceiling was tightly enclosed, the floor was carpeted, and there was no place to see the king. Without waiting for a decision, Lv Hou said, "I know you still have to say that you didn't tie your rope and kill your knife. "Since the emperor sealed you for five years, we don't need these." Then ordered the maids to set and beat Han Xin alive with sticks.
There is another saying that Liu promised Han Xin that as long as he had a firm foothold in China, he would never add another weapon to his body. So when Han Xin was killed, Lv Hou ordered him to be hung in the bell of Changle Palace, with his head covered by the bell and his feet hanging in the air, so that he could not stand up straight. Lv Hou also ordered him to be killed with a bamboo knife, so he didn't break Liu Bang's promise.
"Life and death are two women, where is the success or failure?" There are too many causal relationships, which are really worth savoring!
Han Xin's death is not entirely because of his "contribution to Gao Zhen", but more because of his own character. In our view today, we just don't take the leadership seriously, go too far, be arrogant, think that we are the best people in the world and have no political mind. "A sly rabbit dies, a running dog cooks, birds are exhausted, and a good bow hides." If Han Xin understood this truth, he would have retired after studying Zhang Lianggong, so he wouldn't have died tragically. Or learn from Xiao He and deliberately show Liu Bang something to let him know that he has no ambition and is easy to control. Only in this way can he be saved. It's a pity that Han Xin just doesn't understand. Han Xin's death also tells us that to succeed in the workplace, it is far from enough to rely on your own ability. You have to be a man, have a good relationship with the boss and know how to read minds. The game between superiors and subordinates is a problem that both sides should attach importance to and face squarely. If you control it well, you will naturally find your own way in the workplace, otherwise you will pack up and leave!
