There have been many heroes in my country's history. They have made achievements and defended their country. Some of them are founding heroes. They are glorious and have been passed down for generations. Later generations have taken them as examples. However, many of the famous generals were not treated well. Instead, they died tragically in the hands of their own people. For example, Han Xin , a famous general who was known as " Soldier Immortal " during the Han Dynasty.
He was Liu Bang for the whole life. It is no exaggeration to say that he fought half of the Han Dynasty. Many famous battles were also taken by him, but in the end he was killed, and his way of death was also very strange. The ending was that a group of palace maids stabbed to death with bamboo . After his death, two idioms were born. So what are these two idioms? Why did Han Xin end up like this?
A generation of generals cannot value
Although Han Xin was born in a poor family, he has been familiar with military strategy since childhood and has his own opinions on many military theories. However, because he was born with poor and humbleness, he did not have the chance to be reused. Later, Xiang Yu rose up and wanted to overthrow the slogan of Qin Dynasty . Han Xin also regarded Xiang Yu as a hero of the world and decided to follow him to fight for the world.
It’s a pity that he has never been noticed by Xiang Yu. After all, Han Xin was just an unknown man at that time. He had never done anything whether he was leading troops to fight or managing the army. Xiang Yu naturally would not believe some of the theories and opinions that Han Xin said.
is so unsuccessful, Han Xin did not continue to wait, but instead found his master. Then he came to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang, like Xiang Yu, was not optimistic about Han Xin, thinking that he was just a small official who could look at food and grass, and he had no style of a general at all. Such an environment in once disappointed Han Xin, but in the disappointment, there was also a dawn illuminating his life, and this dawn was his later friend Xiao He .
As a strategist around Liu Bang, Xiao He not only has the ability to plan and distinguish people. He could see that Han Xin was definitely not a mediocre person. The two of them had met each other and had a long talk all night, from some simple battles and combat plans to the future of the world and how to develop their own strength, etc. through these talks, Xiao He further learned that Han Xin could become the commander, but Han Xin chose to leave because Liu Bang did not value him.
After saying goodbye to Xiao He as a confidant, he left. When Han Xin walked away, the more Xiao He thought about it, the more he felt that losing Han Xin would be a big loss, and he was very likely to lose the future world. So he thought about it and took advantage of the moonlight to ride a fast horse to chase Han Xin back, and promised him that he would recommend him like Liu Bang and let him serve as the general. This incident also became a good story, that is, Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moonlight and hiding him.
was tragically plotted - "Success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He."
Afterwards, Xiao He fulfilled his promise. The unknown Han Xin became a general as he wished. Although he was in this position at the beginning, it was indeed difficult to convince the public. However, after winning the battles one after another, Han Xin's position in the army increased day by day, and there were also many classic battles, such as the Battle of Chen Cang, the Battle of the Forbidden Water, the Siege of Gaixia, etc., which made Han Xin a household name at that time and was regarded as a "soldier immortal" because he could win more with less and use his troops as a god.
When later, Han Xin helped Liu Bang successfully defeat Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty. As a founding general, he was also named Duke of Qi . is also a success. Logically speaking, it should be a good time to enjoy the good fortune when he reached this step! But in fact, this is not the case. Not only was Han Xin not treated well, but his status was reduced again and again. From Duke of Qi to Duke of Huaiyin Hou , he directly dropped a large rank.
At the same time, the military power in his hands was also taken away by Liu Bang many times. It can be seen that Liu Bang had already had a grudge against him at this time, and was worried that Han Xin would rebel in the future. After all, such a person with extremely high prestige and military talents would have to worry about any ruler. If he had made great contributions, the master would inevitably experience such suspicion.
If it were someone else, he would definitely restrain his own sharpness and live his life well. If he does not fight or fight, he can avoid the suspicion of the emperor. However, Han Xin has always been arrogant and arrogant. After he became famous all over the world, he even confronted Liu Bang in front of everyone. Although Liu Bang performed very well on the surface, he had already begun to prepare for how to get rid of him in private.
Later, due to the front-line war, Liu Bang went to war personally. He handed the matter over to Empress Lu . Empress Lu found Xiao He and Zhang Liang and others to make suggestions. When Xiao He heard that Han Xin was going to rebel, he immediately changed from a friend's identity to a hostile relationship. He didn't know whether it was for self-protection or not to care about this friendship at all.
Later, under Xiao He's plan, he tricked Han Xin into Empress Lu's palace. Han Xin didn't think much about it. After all, it was his good friend Xiao He who called him, but he didn't expect to harm him. As a result, Han Xin was tied up. By this time, Han Xin had already declared that he was going to be executed. This incident also created an idiom, namely, "Success is Xiao He and failure is Xiao He."
Han Xin died - "The Clock Room Disaster"
After being tied up by five flowers, Han Xin understood that it was Xiao He and Empress Lu who united to harm him. This was the intention of killing him directly. Han Xin immediately remembered his privilege as a founding hero. This privilege was specially customized for him by Liu Bang. s are "I will never die when I see the sky, I will never die when I see the earth, I will never die when I see the king, I will never die when I see him, I will never die when I see him, I will not have a rope to tie him, and I will not have a knife to kill him." This also means that it is impossible to kill him, Han Xin, unless Liu Bang personally wants to kill him. .
But this did not stump Lu Hou and Xiao He and others. Empress Lu first asked someone to put Han Xin in a sack, so that he did not tie him with a rope, and at the same time it also isolated the sky. Then she hung the sack high and tied it to the beam of the bell room. As a result, she left the ground. Then she ordered the palace maid to poke him to death with a bamboo stick, so that he would not use iron weapons to kill him. No matter which one it was, Empress Lu did not violate Liu Bang's will, and this incident also created an idiom, namely "The disaster of the bell room."
Conclusion
When Liu Bang came back, he learned that Han Xin had been killed by Empress Lu, and was happy and sad. It was obvious that there was no actual sadness at all. It seemed that even Empress Lu did not help Liu Bang deal with it, Liu Bang would do it himself. Unexpectedly, Han Xin fought for the rest of his life, did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own people, and he was his former friend. It was really ironic.
This is exactly the same as the saying "The birds are hidden, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked." Although founding heroes like Han Xin have extraordinary achievements, they will eventually be liquidated because of their strong power and great merits.
