A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a Bole does not always exist. Some people do not meet their talents in life because they have no noble people to help them, but Han Xin is lucky. He met 4 noble people in his life. They helped Han Xin transform from a down-and-out young man who was bullied by others to a commander-in-chief of the armed forces who said "the more the better", and finally became the powerful King of Qi. Because he didn't listen to the last nobleman's advice, he ended up being killed again.
1. Piao Mu
When Han Xin was young, he could be described as living in poverty. He was so poor that he had to rely on the help of others to survive.
People in his hometown hate Han Xin because he often eats and drinks together.
The head of Nanchang Pavilion felt that Han Xin was not an ordinary person and admired him very much. For this reason, Han Xin went to the pavilion chief's house every day to make meals. As time passed, the pavilion chief's wife became unhappy. She got up early every day, cooked meals, and let the whole family eat them under the quilt. When it was time to eat, Han Xin went, but no food was prepared for him. After Han Xin understood his master's intention, he left the pavilion chief's house in anger and never returned.
Han Xin, who had not eaten, wanted to catch some fish in the river to satisfy his hunger. The floating mother who was washing clothes by the river saw that Han Xin was pitiful and gave him a bowl of rice.
A few dozen days later, when Piao's mother saw Han Xin coming, she would give him a bowl of rice. This moved Han Xin very much and said to Piao's mother: "I will repay the old man heavily." Piao's mother said angrily: "A man can't Feed yourself. I gave you food out of pity for you, young master. Do I hope you will repay me?" Later, Han Xin became the king of Chu and gave Piao's mother a thousand pieces of gold to repay the favor of a meal.
2. Xia Houying
Han Xin was an ambitious man. After the chaos in the world at the end of Qin Dynasty, he went to Xiang Liang. Under Xiang Liang, Han Xin was unknown and had little success. After Xiang Liang's death, Xiang Yu promoted Han Xin to the rank of doctor. This allowed Han Xin to meet Xiang Yu, who often gave him advice. Xiang Yu was the overlord of Western Chu. At that time, no one in the world could defeat him, and Han Xin was just an inconspicuous official next to him. Han Xin gave Xiang Yu a lot of suggestions, but Xiang Yu never felt that Han Xin was better than him and had a far-sighted vision, so he never adopted his suggestions.
was not taken seriously by Xiang Yu. After he failed to get ahead, Han Xin turned to Liu Bang. After arriving under Liu Bang, Han Xin became a small official in charge of the warehouse. How about he be inferior to working under Xiang Yu? Later, Han Xin was beheaded for violating military regulations. When he was about to chop off Han Xin's head, Han Xin shouted: " King of Han didn't he plan to conquer the world? Why did he kill the strong men?" Xia Houying felt that Han Xin was not an ordinary person, so he chose to kill others. Later, when the two talked, Xia Houying was impressed by Han Xin's intelligence and foresight, and he recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang.
Xia Houyuan is Liu Bang's young friend. He has outstanding driving skills, so he works as Liu Bang's driver. Liu Bang trusted him, but he did not think that Xia Houying had the talent to recognize people. After Xia Houying recommended Han Xin, Liu Bang made Han Xin an official in charge of food and salary, but did not really use Han Xin.
3. Xiao He
After Han Xin took charge of money and food for Liu Bang, he had the opportunity to contact Xiao He and other important ministers. After Xiao He talked with Han Xin several times, he discovered Han Xin's talent.
After Qin State was destroyed, Xiang Yu regarded Liu Bang as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. Although Xiang Yu did not kill Liu Bang at the Hongmen Banquet, he has been suppressing Liu Bang. Xiang Yu did not follow the "promise of King Huai of Chu" and asked Liu Bang, who was the first to enter Guanzhong, to be the King of Hanzhong. Instead, he asked Liu Bang to go to Shu to be the King of Han. After Liu Bang was suppressed by Xiang Yu, his future became bleak, and his soldiers began to flee.
Han Xin won the favor of Xia Houying, Xiao He and others, but never got promoted. Han Xin thought that Xia Houying and Xiao He were already by Liu Bang's side and had recommended him many times. Liu Bang just didn't want to reuse him. Han Xin felt that there was no need to stay under Liu Bang any longer, so he chose to escape.When Xiao He heard that Han Xin had run away, he didn't even have time to tell Liu Bang, so he chased Han Xin all night, that is, Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moonlight.
The soldiers reported to Liu Bang that Xiao He had escaped. Liu Bang was furious. Xiao He was the most important minister in Liu Bang's hands. If he lost Xiao He, his arm would be broken.
After a day or two, Xiao He came back on his own initiative. Liu Bang was angry and happy at the same time. He was angry that Xiao He escaped without authorization, but he was happy that Xiao He came back. Liu Bang asked Xiao He why he wanted to escape. Xiao He said: "How dare I run away? I went to chase the escapee." When Liu Bang learned that the person Xiao He was chasing was Han Xin, he really paid attention to Han Xin. Xiao He said to Liu Bang that if Liu Bang only wanted to be the King of Han, he did not need to use Han Xin. If Liu Bang wanted to conquer the world, he must reuse Han Xin, because the world would never find another talent like Han Xin.
Under Xiao He's persuasion, Liu Bang fasted for several days, then built a high altar and worshiped Han Xin as a general in front of all the soldiers.
This was the most correct decision Liu Bang made in his life. During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu many times. Especially in the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang's 560,000 troops were defeated by Xiang Yu. His father and wife fell into the hands of Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang himself was almost captured alive by Xiang Yu.
The exact opposite of Liu Bang is that Han Xin was unstoppable and won consecutive battles, helping Liu Bang win Wei Kingdom , Dai Kingdom , Zhao Kingdom , Yan Kingdom and other places. Later, when Han Xin led his troops to attack Qi, Xiang Yu became anxious. He sent his generals Long Qie to deal with Han Xin, but he was defeated miserably by Han Xin.
4. Kuai Tong
After taking Qi State , Han Xin became the third force after Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. His strength was so strong that he could influence the outcome of the Chu-Han War.
Liu Bang is about to take over the world, but Han Xin and others have not yet received the rewards they want. Han Xin wrote a letter to Liu Bang, asking Liu Bang to make him a false king, and let him guard Qi for Liu Bang. After Liu Bang saw Han Xin's letter, he immediately became angry. He was now besieged by Xiang Yu and was waiting for Han Xin to come to rescue him. However, Han Xin stood still and used this as a bargaining chip to blackmail him into making himself the king of Qi. Just as Liu Bang was about to explode, Zhang Liang kicked him under the table. This made Liu Bang wake up and immediately said, why do you want to be a fake king? If you want to do it, just be the king of Qi.
Liu Bang appeased Han Xin by making him Queen of Qi.
At the same time, Xiang Yu also took action. He sent Wu She to Qi State to persuade Han Xin to join forces with him. After Liu Bang was destroyed, the two could divide the world equally.
Han Xin's adviser Kuai Tong felt that it was not a good idea to seek refuge with Liu Bang or Xiang Yu. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. After Han Xin and Xiang Yu join forces to eliminate Liu Bang, Xiang Yu will not only not divide the world equally with Han Xin, but will also turn around and attack Han Xin, directly destroying him until he monopolizes the world. Joining forces with Xiang Yu is seeking skin from a tiger, which is unwise. If Han Xin chooses to help Liu Bang, even if Han Xin can win the Qi State and become the king of Qi, he will be too powerful and his achievements will be too great to make Liu Bang feel at ease. Sooner or later, he will end up "the rabbit dies and the dog cooks".
Kuai Tong persuaded Han Xin to raise troops in Qi and fight for the world with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. Only by winning the world can he truly gain security.
Kuai Tong's words are not unreasonable, but Han Xin felt that Liu Bang was kind to him and refused to betray Liu Bang. In the end, Han Xin helped Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu in the battle of Gaixia and win the world. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor , he changed the title of Han Xin to King of Chu. Even so, Liu Bang was still worried about Han Xin. Soon after, someone reported Han Xin for rebellion, and Liu Bang captured Han Xin on the pretext of inspecting the Yunmengze . Later, he demoted Han Xin to Huaiyin Marquis , took him to Luoyang , and stayed with him to take care of him. This made Han Xin dissatisfied and he often pretended to be ill and did not attend the morning court.
In 197 BC, Liu Bang led his troops to attack Chen Xi. Empress Lu I heard that Han Xin wanted to help Chen Xi seize the Han Dynasty. She found Xiao He, deceived Han Xin into the palace and killed him.When he was killed, Han Xin said: "I regret not adopting Kuai Tong's plan and being deceived by women and boys. Isn't it God's will?" Han Xin regretted not listening to the nobleman Kuai Tong's advice. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
