What is the cause of Han Xin's failure?

Han Xin called himself the God of War, and I believe no one will object. More than half of Liu Bang's world is due to Han Xin. Without Han Xin, it is absolutely unknown whether Liu Bang can fix the world so quickly. So Liu Bang spoke highly of Han Xin. Once, Liu Bang was discussing with others why he was able to win the world. His evaluation of Han Xin was:

Even with an army of one million, the battle will be won and the attack will be taken. I am not as good as Han Xin. -

Historical Records of the High-impedance Biography Liu Bang called it an outstanding person, tied with Xiao He and Zhang Liang, which was later known as three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty. When Han Xin became the king of Chu, Liu Bang heard someone say that Han Xin was going to rebel. His first reaction was to lead troops to attack Han Xin.

Chen Ping asked him at that time, are you good or Han Xin good?

Ping said, "Will your Majesty use his troops to defeat Han Xin?" He said, "It's beyond my reach." -"Historical Records. The Family of Prime Minister Chen"

From this, we can see that Han Xin's strength is recognized.

Han Xin's successful process is also very inspiring and worth learning.

Han Xin's family is poor, but he doesn't want to make a living, so he naturally has no food, so he goes to other people's homes to eat every day. After a long time, who can stand it? Everyone hates this teenager very much. How can there be such a lazy guy? I think this is also human nature. Once in a while, everyone will be very enthusiastic, but eating every day is naturally not welcome.

The problem is that he is still wandering in the street with a long sword, so someone insulted him in public and asked him to stab him, afraid to cross his crotch. As a result, Han Xin chose to drill under his crotch, leaving an idiom: the humiliation of his crotch. Seeing this, many people will admire Han Xin for being able to endure humiliation. This is what a gentleman does, and he can bend and stretch. Is that true? We'll discuss it later.

people at that time would definitely not see it this way, and they would definitely see it as a joke. For Han Xin, this is a joke. It doesn't matter if there is one more. Everyone hates him anyway. Han Xin, a teenager, finally left this sad place.

Han Xin's refuge in Xiang Yu was not reused. Later, he took refuge in Liu Bang, and as a result, he was not reused. On the contrary, he was beheaded because of his mistake. When he was about to be executed on the execution ground, Han Xin tactfully replied to retrieve his life.

Faith means looking up. When I met Duke Teng, I said, "What about the world if you don't want it? What is to kill a strong man! " Teng Gong's words are wonderful, his appearance is strong, and he explains them without cutting them-Historical Records. Biography of Hou Huaiyin

Teng Gong is Xia Houying, who worked as a driver for Liu Bang and later joined the army as a samurai. He was the judge at that time, and he released Han Xin. After talking, he found that Han Xin was a great talent and recommended it to Liu Bang. Xia Houying's weight is not enough, and Liu Bang didn't use it much, but he was promoted to a position of a surname.

It was not until the incident of Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon that Liu Bang really paid attention to it. This time, the conversation between Liu Bang and Han Xin came to the conclusion that

Hanwang was overjoyed and thought he was late. Then listen to the plan and deploy what the generals will strike. -"Historical Records. Biography of Huaiyin Hou"

The following story is familiar to everyone. From then on, Han Xin took a cloud to see the sun, and won every battle. So did Serenade, and so did many soldiers. Anyway, they all won.

The struggle between Chu and Han reached the most critical moment, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were at loggerheads, and Han Xin's position was particularly important. Kuai Tong, his counselor, once planned the route for him. As a result, Han Xin said, Liu Bang is too kind to me, and I don't want to betray him. Finally, with Liu Bang, Xiang Yu was surrounded by a note, and the self-immolation of the overlord left countless writers to mourn.

Some people say that if Han Xin turns against us at this time, history will be rewritten. Then they say that if Han Xin really turns against us, people who follow him may not necessarily turn against us, because there are many old backbones of Liu Bangpei County Group here. Liu Bang can easily get back the control of the army and prove that Han Xin didn't really own the control of the army he brought. Let's put this dispute on hold.

Later, when he was king of Chu, Liu Bangbing won it without bloodshed, and Lv Hou finally killed him with a trick.

why did Han Xin finally smash a good hand? Some people say that Han Xin is too loyal, while others say that Liu Bang is too treacherous. But Zhi Changrong tried to see the reason why Han Xin failed from a small incident.

There is a small detail that many people probably haven't noticed.

Han Xin returned to Chu as the king of Chu, forgave the man who was humiliated by his crotch, and let this man be the lieutenant of Chu. At this time, Han Xin also spoke his mind. He said, why did I choose to drill someone's crotch rather than kill him? Because he is too famous, because killing him is not worth breaking the law, not really flexible.

why forgive him now? Because forgiving him can bring you prestige and make others say that they are generous and tolerant. That's why the temptation of fame made Han Xin make this move, which is insulting to others, but not worth it to Han Xin.

a question: can Han Xin really tolerate people? Obviously, there is a big question mark.

Let's look at this sentence again.

Believe in your country, call your mother to eat and give her a daughter. And the director of Nanchang Pavilion who went to the countryside gave him a hundred dollars, saying, "A man is a man, and a villain is also a virtue." -"Historical Records. Biography of Hou Huaiyin"

Why did this laundry woman receive a gift of money? Because Han Xin was desperate and hungry, she wasted dozens of days on the laundry girl's side. At that time, Han Xin said that I would be grateful if I developed in the future. At that time, the laundry girl called him a man who couldn't even support himself, and I expected you to repay him. But Han Xin made a promise and gave her a daughter.

why give the pavilion a hundred dollars? Give the director an evaluation that he is a villain.

here is a short story.

When Han Xin was a teenager, he ate at Tingchang's home for several months. Tingchang's family was not a rich family, so Tingchang's wife had a different opinion. At the time of the meal, Han Xin came to eat, and Tingchang's wife deliberately refused to eat at home. After repeated several times, Han Xin knew the meaning and broke up with Tingchang. Because obviously, the practice of Tingchang's wife must have Tingchang's meaning in it.

We relate three incidents of repaying kindness to Han Xin, which seem trivial, but we can find the complete defect of Han Xin's character. Han Xin doesn't know a word: Pardon

Han Xin didn't really forgive the man who humiliated himself in those years, but used him as a horse's bone to show off his generosity and increase his name, otherwise he would have been killed in the pattern of Han Xin.

The pavilion leader and the floating mother also give food. Why is the result different? Theoretically, if you eat for dozens of days, you can get thousands of dollars, but if you eat for a few months, you should get at least a few thousand dollars.

Let's throw away their attitude. In terms of real kindness, the pavilion director has helped Han Xin far more than the laundry girl. But Han Xin only remembers Ting Chang's bad, but forgets his good, and only remembers the benefactor's fault. Giving a hundred dollars is obviously humiliating, which is something that ordinary people often do. There are gratitude and resentment.

From these three little things, we can see that the pattern of Han Xin is the pattern of ordinary people. In our opinion, it is reasonable for Han Xin to do this, because we are all ordinary people. But the pattern of an ordinary person sitting in a position like Wang's, the mind is still the mind of an ordinary person, which obviously does not match the position.

when anyone sits in a position that doesn't match his ability, it will bring disaster. Therefore, what Laozi repeatedly emphasized in the Tao Te Ching is that the ability will go up when it reaches its natural position, rather than forcibly taking it away.

I think it's necessary to take the world and do it. The world's artifacts cannot be done, and those who do it will be defeated, and those who hold it will be lost. -"Tao Te Ching" Chapter 29

This is the case in the world, and the position is of course the same. Specifically, you can read the article in the column "The World and History in the Eyes of Zhi Changrong", so I won't expand it here.

Han Xin's ultimate victim is obviously doomed at this time.

On the contrary, let's take a look at the situation of Liu Bang, which is much bigger than that of Han Xin. At that time, after Kuai Tong taught Han Xin to rebel, Liu Bang knew about it. Liu bang said to cook this guy for me. As a result, Kuai Tong said that there was chaos in the world. I only knew there was a Han Xin, but I didn't know there was Liu Bang. What's wrong with me helping Han Xin? So treason is over, and we won't kill him again.

This is a capital crime of rebellion. Liu Bang spared him just because what he said was reasonable. Liu Bang saw the truth and ignored it as a capital crime of rebellion. Han Xin only remembered Tingchang's bad feelings, but forgot Tingchang's kindness. Finally, he chose to report his kindness in a humiliating way.

When "I" is getting bigger and bigger, when I am the only one, the world will naturally become smaller and smaller, and the tolerance will become smaller and smaller. To some extent, forgiveness is a kind of tolerance. The higher your position is, the greater your tolerance will be, instead of being kind and complaining like ordinary people. This is just to look at the world from the perspective of "I". As a vassal, it is a disaster to look at the world like this.

Jiang Hai can be the king of all the valleys, and he can be the king of all the valleys because of his kindness. -Chapter 66 of Tao Te Ching

As an ordinary person, this mentality is no problem, but as a vassal, Han Xin is obviously a failure. His pattern is too small, and he is too haggle over every ounce. He only sees the disadvantages of "me", and his vision will naturally not be long-term. At the beginning, it was normal for Kuai Tong to ignore nature. He said that Liu Bang was very kind to him, so it was understandable that he did not go against nature. The final failure of Han Xin and Xiang Yu is actually the reason why this pattern is too small, and they are too "I". Xiang Yu only saw Fan Zeng's nagging but couldn't see Fan Zeng's sincerity, but this defect happened not to be owned by Liu Bang, which was also an important factor for Liu Bang's success.
