Biography of Huaiyin Hou

Personally, I admire Han Xin. There are many allusions about Han Xin. I will try my best to translate this article according to the original text.

Han Xin is from Huaiyin. When he was a common people, he was poor and had bad conduct. He could not be elected as an official and could not make a living by doing business. He often lives in other people's homes for leisure, and most people hate him. Go to the countryside for idle meals many times. For several months, Tingchang's wife disliked him, made breakfast in advance and took it to the back room bed. At dinner, Han Xin went, but didn't prepare meals for him. Han Xin also understand their intentions. In a rage, he left and never came back.

One thousand yuan for a meal: Han Xin is fishing at the gate, and some old ladies are washing silk cotton. One of them saw that Han Xin was hungry, so he took out a meal for Han Xin. Dozens of days, until the washing is completed. Han Xin was very happy and said to the old lady, "I must repay the old man heavily." Aunt said angrily, "A gentleman can't support himself. I only gave you food out of sympathy for your son. Are you going to repay me? "

Hip humiliation: A young man in Huaiyin butcher insulted Han Xin and said, "Although you are tall and like to carry a sword, you are actually a coward." He insulted him in public and said, "if you are not afraid of death, stab me with your sword;" If you are afraid of death, climb under my crotch. " So Han Xin looked at him carefully, bent down, prone on the ground, and climbed down from his legs. People all over the street laughed at Han Xin and thought he was timid.

When Xiang Liang led the army across the Huaihe River, Han Xin followed him with a sword, but he had no reputation under Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang was defeated and returned to Xiang Yu, who made him a doctor. He made many suggestions for reuse to Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu didn't adopt them. Hanwang Liu Bang entered Shu, and Han Xin surrendered to Hanwang from Chu Army. Because I have no reputation, I only became a small official who received guests. Later, he was beheaded for breaking the law, and his 13 associates were killed. It's Han Xin's turn. He looked up and saw Teng Gong and said, "Isn't Hanwang trying to achieve the goal of unifying the world? Why be a strong man! " Teng Gong felt that his words were extraordinary. Seeing that he was good-looking, I let him go. I talked to Han Xin, admired him, and reported the matter to Hanwang, who appointed Han Xin as a captain to cure millet. Hanwang didn't notice what extraordinary talent he had.

Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon: Han Xin talked to Xiao He many times, and Xiao He thought he was a wizard. In Nanzheng, dozens of generals fled halfway. Han Xin speculated that Xiao He and others had recommended themselves to Hanwang many times, but Hanwang didn't appoint them, so he ran away. Xiao He heard that Han Xin had escaped. Before reporting to Hanwang, he went after him. Someone reported to Hanwang: "Prime Minister Xiao He has escaped." Hanwang was furious as if he had lost his right hand. A day or two later, Xiao He came to visit Hanwang, who was both angry and happy. Scold Xiao He: "You ran away, why?" Xiao He said, "I dare not run. I'll go after those who have escaped. " Hanwang said, "Who are you chasing?" The answer is: "It's Han Xin." Hanwang also scolded: "dozens of generals from all walks of life have escaped, and you have not chased any of them;" It is deceptive to chase Han Xin. " Xiao He said, "Those generals are easy to handle. As for an outstanding figure like Han Xin, he is the second person in the world. If the king really wants to be king in Hanzhong for a long time, he naturally doesn't need Han Xin. If he must fight for the world, no one can discuss great things with you except Han Xin. (The true national warrior is unparalleled) But it depends on what the king decides. " Hanwang said: "I want to develop eastward. How can I stay here in pain for a long time? " Xiao He said, "Your Majesty is determined to develop eastward, and you can reuse Han Xin. Han Xin will stay and can't be reused. Han Xin will eventually escape. " Hanwang said, "I made him a general for you." Xiao He said: "Even if he is a general, Han Xin will not stay." Hanwang said, "Appoint him as a general." Xiao He said, "Great." So Hanwang asked Han Xin to appoint him. Xiao He said, "Your Majesty has always treated people lightly and has no manners. Appointing a general now is like yelling at a child. So Han Xin is leaving. The king is determined to appoint him, choose a good day, fast in person, set up high altars and squares, and have complete etiquette. " Hanwang agreed to Xiao He's request. People are very happy to hear that they are going to worship the general, and everyone thinks they are going to be a general. When the general was appointed, Han Xin was appointed, which surprised the whole army.

Han Xin analyzed the situation of the two armies: after the ceremony of appointing Han Xin, Hanwang was seated. Hanwang said, "The Prime Minister praised the general many times. What tricks did the general use to teach me? " Han Xin humbly asked Hanwang: "Isn't the current enemy Wang Xiang fighting for the world in the east?" Hanwang said, "Yes." Han Xin said: "The king himself estimates that who is stronger than Wang Xiang in courage, toughness, kindness and strength?" Hanwang was silent for a long time and said, "Not as good as Wang Xiang." Han Xin bowed twice and said approvingly, "I don't think your majesty can compare with him. However, I served him once. Please let me tell you something about Wang Xiang. When Wang Xiang roared with rage, thousands of people were too scared to move, but they couldn't let go of the generals who appointed talents. This is just the courage of ordinary people. Xiang Wang treats people with respect and kindness, and his words are gentle. Some people are sick and crying, so he gives him his own food and drink. Some people are making meritorious deeds, and when they are knighted, they put their engraved seals in their hands, losing their edges and corners, and can't bear to give them to others. This is the kindness of women. Although Wang Xiang dominated the world and made the princes submit, he gave up the favorable terrain in Guanzhong and built Pengcheng as his capital. He also violated the Covenant of the righteous emperor and made his cronies king, which made his ministers indignant. When the governors saw Wang Xiang moving Yidi to a remote place in the south of the Yangtze River, they all went back to expel their own monarch and occupied a good place to stand on their own feet as king. There is not a place where King Xiang's army passed without being wiped out. People all over the world are disgusted and people don't want to join them. They just reluctantly obeyed because of power. Although nominally the overlord, it actually lost the hearts of the people. So his advantage can easily become a disadvantage. Now the king can really do the opposite with him: what can't be destroyed by appointing brave and good fighters? If all the cities in the world are given to meritorious ministers, who will not be convinced? What kind of enemy can't be defeated by the teacher of justice and return to the East according to the wishes of soldiers? Besides, the three kings of Xiang Yu were all generals of the Qin Dynasty. They led the children of the Qin dynasty to fight for several years, many of them were killed and fled, and they also deceived their subordinates to surrender to the princes. When they arrived in Xin 'an, they cunningly buried more than 200,000 people who surrendered. Only Sima Xin and Dong Kun survived, and Qin's buddies hated these three people. Now, relying on his own power, Xiang Yu forced these three men to be kings, and Qin was unloved. Wang entered Wuguan, did not commit crimes in autumn, abolished Qin's violent law, and made three chapters with Qin people. There is no one in Qin who doesn't want the King of Qi to be king in Qin. According to the agreement of the governors, the king should be the king of Guanzhong, and everyone in Guanzhong knows about it. The King of Qi lost his due title and entered Hanzhong, and the Qin people did not resent it. Now the king has launched an army eastward, and it can be settled with only one document. "So Hanwang exultation, thought that Han Xin was too late. Just listen to Han Xin's plan and deploy the targets attacked by various generals.

In August, Hanwang sent troops eastward through Chencang to pacify Sanqin. In the second year of Han Dynasty (the first 205 years)? The soldiers went out of Hangu Pass and subdued Wang Wei and the king of Henan. Hanwang and Yin Wang also surrendered one after another. Hanwang joined forces with the kings of Qi and Zhao to attack the Chu army. In April, to Pengcheng, the Han army was defeated and returned. Han Xin gathered scattered forces to meet Hanwang in Xingyang, and wiped out the Chu army between Jingxian County and Suoting. Therefore, the Chu army must not go west.

Introducing the East to the West and Defeating Wei Bao: After the defeat of the Han army in Pengcheng, Sima Xin and Dong Min rebelled against the Han to surrender to Chu, while Qi and Ye Zhao betrayed Hanwang and made peace with Chu. In June, I asked Wei for leave to go back to my hometown on the grounds of visiting my mother's illness. As soon as he arrived in the countryside, he immediately cut off the traffic arteries of the Yellow River ferry near Jinguan, rebelled against Hanwang and entered into a contract with the Chu army. Hanwang sent Li Sheng to lobby Wei Bao without success. In August this year, Hanwang appointed Han Xin as the left prime minister to attack Wei. Wang Wei stationed his main force in Puban and blocked the Yellow River ferry near Jinguan. Han Xin added suspected soldiers, deliberately arranged warships to sail, pretending to cross the river in Linjin, while the hidden troops floated across the river from Xiayang with wooden pots, attacking Anyi. Wei panicked and led a great army to meet Han Xin. Han Xin captured Wei Bao, pacified Wei and changed Hedong County. Hanwang sent Zhang Er and Han Xin to lead the troops eastward and attack Zhao Guohe in the north. Leap defeated the Daiguo army in September this year. Wei Xiao and the captured Xia said: After Han Xin conquered Wei and destroyed Daiguo, Hanwang immediately sent people to transfer Han Xin's elite troops to Xingyang to resist the Chu army.

The Battle of Jingxingkou: Han Xin led hundreds of thousands of troops to break through Jingxingkou and attack Zhao. When Zhao Wang and Cheng heard that the Han army was coming to attack Zhao, they gathered troops at Jingxingkou, claiming to be 200,000. Emperor Guangwu said to Cheng, "Today, Han soldiers crossed the Xihe River and captured Wei Bao, but they were captured alive in the summer. He said that he was recently washed with blood, and now he intends to catch Zhao with the help of his friends. This is an expedition to leave the country with the spirit of victory, and its edge is unstoppable. However, I heard that soldiers who travel thousands of miles to transport food will be very hungry, and they will temporarily cut wood and grass to cook, and the army is always hungry. At present, on Jingxing Road, two chariots can't be parallel, cavalry can't line up, the marching army is hundreds of miles away, and the grain transport team is bound to fall far behind. I hope you can temporarily give me 30 thousand raiders to intercept their food and grass from the hidden path, so that you can dig deep ditches, build a camp, stick to the barracks and stop fighting. They can't go forward, and they can't go back. I sent Indiana Jones to cut off their back roads and let them grab nothing in the wilderness. In less than ten days, the heads of the two generals can be sent to the general's account. I hope you can consider my plan carefully. Otherwise, they will capture you. " Cheng is an old-fashioned scholar who believes in Confucianism. He often claims that a just army does not need deception and tricks. He said: "I heard in Sun Tzu's Art of War that an army ten times as large as the enemy can surround it and twice as large as the enemy can wage war. Now Han Xin's army claims to be tens of thousands, but in fact it is only a few thousand. I am tired of coming all the way to attack us. Since such an attack has been avoided, how to deal with the arrival of a strong follow-up force? The princes will think that I am timid and will attack us easily. " Don't adopt the strategy of light military forces.

Last stop: Han Xin sent a spy and learned that he didn't use the tactics of the Guangwu Army. Back to report that Han Xin exultation, dare to lead the troops into Jingxing narrow road. There are still 30 miles from Jingxingkou, so we stop and camp. In the middle of the night, the special command team selected two thousand hussars, each with a red flag, to go up the mountain from a hidden path and observe Zhao's army in the mountains. Han Xin warned: "During the war, when Zhao saw that our army was defeated and fled, he would certainly be anxious to catch up with our army. You rushed into Zhao's camp, pulled out Zhao's banner and erected the red flag of the Han army. " Let the lieutenant convey the order to eat. He said: "Today, Zhao Jun lost a dinner." . The general didn't believe it and replied, "Good." Han Xin said to the generals, "The Zhao army has occupied the favorable terrain. Let's camp first. They will not attack the vanguard of our army because they can't see the flags and ceremonial ceremonies of our generals, fearing that we will retreat to dangerous places. " Han Xin sent ten thousand people as the vanguard, out of Jingxingkou, last stand lined up the battle queue. Zhao Jun saw it from a distance and laughed. At dawn, Han Xin stood up the flag and ceremonial, boasting about opening the mouth of Jingxing. Zhao Kaiying attacked the Han army and fought fiercely for a long time. At this time, Han Er pretended to abandon the flag and fled back to the river. The troops at the riverside position opened the camp gate and let them in. Next, we will have a fierce battle with Zhao. Zhao was destroyed among people, fighting for the Han army and pursuing Han Xin and. Han Xin and Erxin have entered the riverside position. The whole army fought to the death, but Ye Zhao couldn't beat them. Han Xin sent two thousand hussars ahead of time, and when Zhao rushed out to chase the spoils, he rushed into Zhao's empty camp, pulled out all Zhao's flags, and erected two thousand red flags of the Han army. Zhao couldn't win at this time, nor could he capture Han Xin and others alive. He wants to go back to the camp. The camp was filled with the red flags of the Han army and was shocked. He thought that the Han army had all captured the generals of Zhao Wang, so the army was in chaos and fled. Even if Zhao wants to kill deserters, he can't forbid it. So the Han soldiers attacked before and after, completely wiped out the Zhao army, captured a large number of troops, and captured Zhao Wangxie alive on the river bank.

Han Xin ordered the whole army not to kill Guang, and he was rewarded for taking him alive. So someone tied Guang to the barracks. Han Xin untied the rope for him personally, made him sit facing east and west, and treated him like a teacher.

The generals presented their heads and the prisoners congratulated Han Xin, and took the opportunity to say to Han Xin, "Sun Tzu's Art of War said,' The marching array should be backed by mountains on the left and right, with water in front and behind'. This time, the general asked us to last stand and said,' We defeated Zhao Jun and had a formal dinner'. We were not convinced, but we really won. What tactics is this? " Han Xin replied: "This is also in the art of war, but you didn't pay attention. Didn't Sun Tzu's Art of War say,' You will be born when you are trapped, and then you will live'? Besides, I didn't have a chance to train your soldiers, which is what we call "market people fighting." In this case, we don't execute soldiers, so everyone can fight for their own protection; If you give them a chance to live, they will all run away. How can you win with them? " All the generals were amazed and said, "Good. The general's strategy is beyond our power. "

Han Xin asked Guang, "I want to attack Yan in the north and Qi in the east. How can I succeed? " Guang declined, saying, "I heard that a defeated general is not qualified to talk about bravery, and a doctor who has lost his country is not qualified to plan the survival of the country." Now that I am a captive of the country's defeat, what qualifications do I have to discuss major issues? " Han Xin said, "I heard that Priscilla was in the state of Yu, and the state of Yu perished, but he was in the state of Qin, and the state of Qin could still dominate. This is not because he was stupid in Qin, but because he was smart in Qin, but because the monarch did not appoint him and adopted his advice. If Cheng adopts your strategy, like me, Han Xin will be captured alive. I can serve you because I didn't adopt your strategy. " Han Xin asked firmly, "I sincerely listen to your plan. I hope you won't refuse." Guang said: "I heard that' wise men think long and lose something; A fool who worries too much will gain something. Therefore, as the saying goes,' If a madman speaks, a saint can choose'. I'm afraid my strategy is not enough, but I'm willing to offer my loyalty. Cheng had a plan to win every battle, but once he failed, his army was defeated at the gate of Yancheng and he died at the water god. Now the general has crossed the Xihe River and captured Wang Wei alive. He said that in summer, Jingxing was captured in one fell swoop, and in less than one morning, 200,000 Zhao troops were defeated, thus killing Cheng. Fame spread all over the world, and prestige shook the world. The farmers had a premonition that a war was coming. They didn't stop farming, dressed well, ate well, passed the time, listened attentively to the news of the war and waited for death. These are the strategic advantages of the general. But at present, the people are working hard and the foot soldiers are tired, so it is difficult to fight. If the general launches a tired army and stays at the solid gates of Yan, I'm afraid it will take too long and the troops are not enough to conquer it. When the truth is exposed, prestige will be weakened and food will be consumed for a long time. The weak Yan refused to surrender, and Qi refused to defend the border in order to strengthen itself. Yanji insisted on refusing to surrender, so the outcome of Liu Xiang was uncertain. Like this, it is the general's strategic weakness. I have little knowledge, but I think it is wrong to attack Yan and cut Qi. Therefore, people who are good at leading troops to fight do not use their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, but use their own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. "Han Xin said," even so, what should we do? Guang replied: "Now, for the general's benefit, it is best to stay where you are, stabilize Zhao's social order, and pay for the orphans of the fallen soldiers. "Within one hundred miles of Fiona Fang, beef wine is sent to reward soldiers every day. Put on a gesture of attacking Yan state to the north, and then send lobbyists and hold letters to show their strategic advantage in Yan state, but dare not disobey. After Yan obeyed, he sent lobbyists to the east to persuade Qi to surrender. Qi will yield to the wind. Even if there are smart people, they don't know how to plan for Qi. If this is the case, then all the major events that win the world can be sought. When using troops, there should be bravado first, and then actual action. This is what I said. " Han Xin said, "Good." I listened to his plan. When an envoy was sent to Yan, Yan surrendered immediately after hearing the news. So he sent someone to report to Hanwang and asked Zhang Er to be the king of Zhao, so as to appease Zhao. Hanwang agreed to his request and named Zhang Er the Prince of Zhao.

The state of Chu sent raiders across the Yellow River many times to attack the State of Zhao. Let's talk about the two men, who led Han Xin to come to the rescue, pacified the cities of Zhao, and led troops to meet Hanwang. Chu Jun tightly besieged Hanwang in Xingyang, and Hanwang attacked from the south, and went to Wanxian and Yexian, where he accepted Qing Bu and rushed to the elevation, and Chu Jun quickly surrounded the elevation. In June, Hanwang escaped from the elevation and crossed the Yellow River eastward. Only Deng Gong accompanied him to Zhang Er's military station in Xiuwu. Upon arrival, I checked into the guest room. The next morning, he claimed to be the messenger of Hanwang and rode to Zhao's camp. Before Han Xin and Zhang Er got up, Hanwang grabbed their seals and military symbols in their bedrooms, called people together with military flags and took their place. Han Xin and Zhang Er got up and learned that Hanwang was coming, which was a big surprise. Hanwang captured his own army, ordered him to guard Zhao, appointed Han Xin as the country's minister, and asked him to collect the troops that Zhao had not yet sent to Xingyang to attack Qi.

Han Xin led the troops to the east, but he hasn't crossed Peiping and Tianjin. I heard that Hanwang sent Shi Li to persuade the king of Qi to submit. Han Xin intends to stop marching. Kuai Tong, a lobbyist in john young, advised Han Xin: "The general was ordered to attack the State of Qi, but Hanwang only secretly sent an emissary to lobby the State of Qi to surrender. Is there a decree to stop the general from attacking? Why not March? What's more, just a scholar, sitting in the car, encouraging the golden tongue, has conquered more than 70 cities in Qi. The general led tens of thousands of troops and took more than a year to conquer more than 50 cities in Zhao. For so many years, isn't it better than the credit of a reading boy? " So Han Xin thought he was right, listened to his plan and led the army across the Yellow River. The King of Qi listened to Li Sheng's suggestion, and let Li Sheng drink to his heart's content, and dismantled the facilities to guard against the Han army. Han Xin seized the opportunity to raid Qi's army and soon reached the capital. Tian Guang, the king of Qi, thought that Li was sold raw, so he boiled him to death, then fled to Gaomi and sent messengers to Chu for help. After Han Xin pacified Lintong, he pursued Tian Guang to the east and to the west of Gaomi. Chu also sent Long Qie to lead his troops, claiming to be 200,000 to save Qi.

The Battle of Weishui: Tian Guang, the King of Qi, and the armies of Longyi and Sima jointly fought against Han Xin. Before the war, Long Qie was advised: "The Han army is far away from home, and it will fight to the death, and its border is unstoppable. The two armies of Qi and Chu fought in their homeland, and the soldiers fled easily. It's better to be deep ditch and high base, and you can't stick to it. Let the King of Qi send his trusted ministers to appease the captured city. The officials and people in these cities all know that their king is still there, and the Chu army will come to save them and will definitely resist the Han army. The Han army lives 2,000 miles away. When the people of all cities in Qi rise to revolt, they will have no food and can surrender without fighting. " Long Bian said, "I always knew Han Xin was a man, and I was easy to get along with him. And rescue qi, make Han Xin surrender without a fight, I have what credit? Now that we have defeated him, half of Qi's land can be enfeoffed to me. Why not fight? " So he decided to go to war and set out across the Wei River with Han Xin. Han Xin ordered that more than 10,000 bags be made overnight, filled with sand, blocked the upper reaches of the Weihe River, led half the troops to cross the river, attacked Longyou, pretended to be defeated, and ran back. Long Min said happily, "I knew Han Xin was timid." So he crossed the Wei River and caught up with Han Xin. Han Xin ordered the sandbags that blocked Weifang water to be dug out, and the river surged. Before more than half of Long Miao's troops crossed the river, Han Xin immediately returned to Li and killed Long Miao. Long Qie's troops who had not crossed the river on the east bank of the Wei River fled when the situation showed, and Qi Wang Tian Guang also fled. Han Xin pursued the defeated army to Chengyang and captured all the Chu soldiers.

Han Xin was king: In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (203 BC), Han Xin surrendered and pacified the whole territory of Qi. Send someone to write to Hanwang. He said: "Qi is treacherous and capricious, and the southern border is bordered by Chu. Unless the King of the Times is appeased, the situation will certainly not be stable. In order to benefit the current situation, I hope to allow me to represent Wang Qi for the time being. " Just then, ChuJun tightly besieged Hanwang in Xingyang, and Han Xin's special envoy arrived. When Hanwang opened the letter, he flew into a rage and scolded, "I'm trapped here, waiting for your help day and night, but you want to be king yourself!" " Sean and Chen Ping secretly stepped on Hanwang's foot, leaned close to Hanwang's ear and said, "At present, the Han army is at a disadvantage. How can Han Xin be forbidden to be king? It is better to take the opportunity to make him king, treat him well, and let him guard Qi by himself. Otherwise, there may be confusion. " Hanwang woke up and deliberately scolded: "The real king is a gentleman who pacifies his ministers. Why should he be the temporary acting king? " He sent Sean, made Han Xin king of Qi, and called troops to attack the Chu army.

After the Chu army lost the Dragon Boat, Wang Xiang was so scared that he sent Xu Yi's troops to persuade Wang Qi Han Xin, saying, "Everyone has hated the rule of the Qin Dynasty for a long time, so let's unite to attack it. After the collapse of the Qin dynasty, according to the credit, it was divided into two kingdoms, thus stopping the struggle. Now Hanwang has moved eastward, encroaching on other people's fields and plundering other people's fiefs. He has already broken the Three Qin Dynasties, led his troops to leave Hangu Pass, and collected the troops of various governors to March eastward to Chu State. His intention is not to annex the whole world, nor will he give up. He's not so greedy. It's too much. In addition, Hanwang can't be trusted, and he fell into the hands of Wang Xiang many times. It was Wang Xiang's pity that kept him alive. However, once he escaped, he broke his covenant and attacked Wang Xiang again. He is so inaccessible and untrustworthy. Now, even if you think you have a deep friendship with Hanwang and try your best to fight for him, you will eventually be captured by him. You can continue to this day because Wang Xiang still exists. At present, Liu Xiang is fighting for the outcome of the world, and it is you who matter. You stand to the right, then Hanwang wins, you stand to the left, and then Sheng Wang. If Xiang Wang is destroyed today, you are the next one to be destroyed. You and Wang Xiang are old friends. Why not unite Han and Chu and stand on their own feet as kings? Now, if you miss this opportunity, you must stand on the side of Hanwang and attack Wang Xiang. Should smart people do this? " Han Xin politely declined to say, "I serve Xiang Wang, but I am just a doctor. My position is just a guard with a halberd. I don't listen to anything and turn my back on the Han Dynasty. Hanwang gave me the seal of the general, tens of thousands of troops, undressed me and gave me good food to eat, so I was able to do this. People are close to me and trust me. It is unlucky for me to betray him, even if I die. I hope you can help me politely decline Xiang Wang's kindness! "

After the intervention of Wu State, Kuai Tong, a native of Qi State, knew that Han Xin was the key to victory or defeat in the world. I wanted to impress him with my ingenuity, so I persuaded Han Xin as a fortune teller, saying it was persuasion, but it was actually rebellion. Han Xin felt that he had made great achievements, and Liu Bang would not take anything from himself.

When Guling was besieged, Hanwang adopted Sean's plan and enlisted Han Xin, the king of Qi, so Han Xin led the army to join forces with Hanwang. After Xiang Yu's defeat, Gaozu seized the military power of the King of Qi by surprise attack. In the first month of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, king of Qi, was renamed King Chu, and Pi was its capital.

When Han Xin arrived in Xiapi, he summoned the floating mother who gave him food and gave her one thousand catties of gold. It was Nanchang Tingchang's turn to go to the countryside, gave him 100 yuan and said, "You are a villain, and you have done a good thing from beginning to end." He called the young man who had insulted himself and let himself climb over his crotch, appointed him as the second lieutenant, and said to the generals, "This is a strong man. You can't kill him if you insult me? There is no point in killing him, so I endured a temporary insult and achieved today's achievements. "

The rabbit died, the dog cooked, and the bird hid: Li Zhongmei, a fugitive general from Wang Xiang, lived in the country of Iru and had always been friendly with Han Xin. After the death of King Xiang, he escaped and took refuge in Han Xin. Hanwang resented Zhong Limei, and when he heard that he was in Chu, he ordered Chu to arrest Zhong Limei. When Han Xin first arrived in Chu, he toured the counties and cities to which he belonged, and there were armed guards in and out. Han six years, someone wrote to report Han Xin rebellion. Gaudi adopted Chen Ping's plan, pretending that the emperor went out to inspect and meet the prince. There was a Yunmengze in the south, and an envoy was sent to inform the princes to meet in Chen County, saying, "I want to inspect Yunmengze." Actually, it was to attack Han Xin, and Han Xin didn't know it. When Gaozu was going to Chu, Han Xin wanted to send troops to rebel, but he thought he was innocent. He wants to appear before the emperor, but he is afraid of being captured. Someone said to Han Xin, "If you kill Sister Li Zonglin and go to see the emperor, the emperor will be happy and there will be no harm." Han Xin went to see Li Zonglin Mei to discuss. Li Zhongmei said: "Hanwang didn't attack Chu because I was with you. You wanted to arrest me to please Hanwang. If I die today, you will die with me. " So he scolded Han Xin and said, "You are not a loyal minister!" Finally strangled and died. Han Xin took his head and went to Chen County to worship Gaudi. The emperor ordered the samurai to tie up Han Xin and put him in the accompanying car. Han Xin said: "when the cunning rabbit dies, the excellent hunting dog will be cooked and killed;" The birds in Gao Xiang are gone, and the excellent bows and arrows are collected; The enemy country was shattered and the counselor died. Now that the world is safe, I should have been boiled to death! " The emperor said, "Someone accused you of rebellion. "He put the instruments of torture on Han Xin. In Luoyang, Han Xin was pardoned and renamed Huaiyin Hou.

Han Xin ordered more soldiers, the more the better: Han Xin knew that Hanwang was afraid of his talents, and often refused to go to court because of illness. From then on, Han Xin resented day and night and moped at home, ashamed of being equal to Jiang Hou and Guan Ying. Han Xin once visited General Fan Kuai, and Fan Kuai bowed down to meet him, calling himself a courtier. He said, "How dare your Majesty come?" Han Xin went out and said with a smile, "I have been in contact with people like Fan Kuai all my life." The emperor often talks calmly with Han Xin about generals, thinking that each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The emperor asked Han Xin, "How many soldiers and horses can my talents command?" Han Xin said, "Your Majesty can only command 100,000." The emperor said, "How are you?" The answer is, "The more I have, the better." The emperor smiled and said, "The more, the better. Why are you still captured by me? " Han Xin said, "Your Majesty can't lead troops, but he is good at controlling generals. That's why I was captured by your majesty. Besides, your majesty is a godsend, beyond human power. "

Cheng also defeated Xiao He in Xiao He: Chen Yi was appointed as the Chief of Julu County and bid farewell to Huaiyin Hou. Huaiyin Hou took his hand, avoiding the left and right attendants and pacing up and down in the courtyard. He looked up at the sky, sighed and said, "Can you listen to my confidence? I want to talk to you from the heart. " Chen Yi said: "Everything is under the command of the general!" Huaiyin Hou said: "The place under your jurisdiction is a place where the best soldiers in the world gather;" And you, your majesty's trusted and beloved courtier. If someone reports your rebellion, your majesty will not believe it; If you report it again, your majesty will doubt it; After the third exposure, your majesty was furious and personally led the troops to encircle and encircle. I'll be your inside man in Beijing, and you can get it all over the world. "Chen Yi always knew Han Xin's talent. He said firmly, "I will definitely follow your advice!" " "Ten years of the Han Dynasty, Chen Yi really rebelled. The emperor personally led the military forces to go, and Han Trust was ill without entourage. Send someone to see Chen Yi secretly and say, "Just get up and I'll help you." Han Xin consulted with his retainers and sent false letters at night to pardon criminals and slaves who worked in various houses, intending to launch them to attack Lv Hou and the prince. Deployed, waiting for news from Chen Yi. Then, the younger brother of a retainer reported to Lv Hou that Han Xin was going to rebel. Lv Hou was going to call Han Xin, but he was afraid that he wouldn't give in, so he consulted with Xiao, assuming that Chen Yi was captured and put to death, and all his ministers came to congratulate him. Guo Xiang Jr. deceived Han Xin and said, "Even if you are sick, you should try your best to go to the palace to congratulate you." After Han Xin entered the palace, Lv Hou ordered the samurai to tie up Han Xin and kill him in the bell room of Changle Palace. When Han Xinlin beheaded, he said, "I regret that I didn't adopt Kuai Tong's strategy and let me be cheated by women and boys. Isn't it providence? " So he killed three families in Han Xin.

High-impedance returned to Peking from the army that counterattacked Chen Yi, and saw that Han Xin was dead. He was happy and pitied him, and asked, "What did Han Xin say when he died?" Lv Hou said: "Han Xin said that he regretted not adopting Kuai Tong's strategy." Gaozu said, "That man is a lobbyist of Qi." He ordered Qi to catch Kuai Tong. When Kuai Tong was taken, the emperor said, "Did you instigate Huaiyin Hou to rebel?" The answer is: "Yes. I did teach him. The boy didn't adopt my plan, so he finally gave up on himself. If that boy adopts my plan, how can your majesty destroy him? " The emperor said angrily, "Cook him." Kuai Tong said: "Oh, I'm killing myself, wronged!" The emperor said, "What's wrong with you instigating Han Xin to rebel?" Kuai Tong said: "The laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty were corrupted, the regime collapsed, the six countries in Shandong were in chaos, and various governors rebelled in succession. At that time, heroes in the world gathered like crows. The Qin Dynasty lost its throne, and all the heroes in the world came to snatch it, so people with superior intelligence and quick action took the lead. The metatarsal dog barked at Yao, and Yao was not unkind, just because he was not the owner of the dog. At this moment, I only know there is a Han Xin, but I don't know there is your majesty. Besides, there are too many people in the world who want to do what your majesty is doing, but they can't. How can you boil them all to death? " Gaozu said, "Let him go." Kuai Tong's sins were forgiven.

Sima Qian said: When I went to Huaiyin, Huaiyin people told me that even if Han Xin was a common people, his mind was different. His mother died and his family was too poor to be buried, but he still looked for a high and spacious cemetery everywhere so that thousands of families could be next to the grave. I saw his mother's grave, indeed. If Han Xin can give in modestly, don't brag about his achievements, and don't rely on his own talents, it will be almost the same. His exploits in the Han Dynasty can be compared with those of Duke Zhou, Zhao Gong and Taigong in the Zhou Dynasty, and future generations can enjoy endless sacrifices. However, he failed to devote himself to this, and the world has been stable. Instead, he planned a rebellion and destroyed the family. Isn't that right?
