Why didn't Hongmen Banquet kill Liu Bang? Does the Hongmen Banquet have Han Xin?

Hongmen Banquet is a historically famous banquet held in Hongmen outside Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty, in 206 BC. This banquet had a significant impact on the Peasant War at the end of Qin Dynasty and the War between Chu and Han Dynasty. Therefore, from now on, modern people have replaced malicious banquets with "Hongmen Banquet". And this incident has also been photographed into various literary, film and television works. The earliest record is of course the "Historical Records, Xiang Yu Benji" which is helpful for our research. But at this banquet, Xiang Yu did not kill Liu Bang, which led to Wujiang's suicide in the end. So why did Xiang Yu want to let the tiger go back to the mountain and not kill Liu Bang

First of all, in terms of the situation at the time, Xiang Yu did not have to kill Liu Bang. Many historical and research materials regard the Hongmen Banquet as a hidden murderous banquet held by Xiang Yu in Xinfeng Hongmen, but in fact, Xiang Yu did not intend to entertain Liu Bang. In the anti-Qin struggle, the major forces formed an alliance and agreed to "break the Qin and enter Xianyang before the king". Liu Bang led the army in October 206 BC to enter Xianyang before Xiang Yu.

Is there any Han Xin

Hongmen Banquet? Han Xin actually appeared before, but it was ignored by everyone. How could such an important figure Han Xin be absent from such an important historical event?

Kou will enter with sword and shield. The guards of the military gate couldn't stop wanting, Fan Kuai flanked his shield to hit, and the guards took the ground. Then he entered, draped the curtains and stood up. He really looked at Xiang Yu with his hair pointing upwards, and his eyes were cracked. Xiang Yu pressed his sword and said: "Who is the guest?" Zhang Liang said: "Pei Gong's participation in Fan Kuaiye." Xiang Yu said: "The strong man! Give the wine!"

The halberd man in the Hongmen Banquet was Han Xin. Han Xin was named the halberd man under Xiang Yu's men, who was the soldier in charge of guarding. I think that all of Xiang Yu's subordinates are tiger and wolf men. Only the thin Han Xin who was hit by Fan Kui's Angma and turned so ugly. (Maybe Xiang Yu looked at Han Xin contemptuously when he praised Fan Kuai, and even despised him.)

You can see Han Xin's attitude towards Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai and Liu Bang are brothers-in-law and a state prince, and they are also credited by Liu Bang. . When Han Xin came to visit, he bowed down and greeted him, saying, "The king is willing to be a minister!" Han Xin didn't know what's good or bad, and went out to laugh at himself: "Sheng (Han Xin claims) is in the company of Kuai!" Fan Kui kissed his warm face. Cold ass, I want to break my head when I go home, maybe I don't know when I offended this haughty Huaiyin.
