Han Xin's Way of Death (7)-After several victories, Han Xin began the rhythm of death.

Two months after the Battle of Gyeonggi, Wei, who had surrendered to Liu Bang, asked for leave to go back to Hedong to visit relatives. As a result, when he arrived in Wei, he immediately blocked Pujin Pass at the Yellow River Ferry and declared anti-Han. Liu Bang sent Shi Li to persuade him, but Wei Bao wouldn't listen.

The so-called war is the continuation of politics, soft and hard. Liu Bangpa Han Xin led an army against Wei Bao.

This is the first time that Han Xin stepped onto the historical stage as a military general. As soon as he stepped onto the stage, his face lit up immediately.

Han Xin, a man born for war, made full use of every battle he experienced and won Liu Bang's evaluation that "the war will win and the attack will take", which is well deserved.

In September, Wei was attacked, Wei Bao was captured, and Wei was changed to Hedong County. Leap in September, attack the country, defeat the national army, and seize the summer in stagnation. Han Xin broke through the two countries with a small experiment, just like going shopping.

If Chu and Han struggle, they are not afraid of not fighting, and they are afraid of not winning. In October of the third year of Emperor Gaozu, Han Xin and Zhang Er led the troops to Jingxingkou, ready to attack Zhao.

This is a beautiful battle for Han Xin to win more with less. Through this battle, Han Xin contributed an idiom to us, which is called "the last battle".

When Zhao Wang, Zhao Xie and Cheng got the news of Han Xin's attack, they gathered 200,000 troops in Jingxingkou to meet the enemy.

At this time, Han Xin's troops won two games in a row, and their morale was full. Fortunately, they traveled thousands of miles without food and grass. However, the mouth of Jingxing is very narrow, and the chariots and horses can't be side by side, which makes Han Xin's troops stretch very long and the grain and grass are backward. This is a very unfavorable situation for Han Xin's troops. This situation was noticed by Li Zuoche, the general of the prince of Zhao, so Li Zuoche did not advocate confrontation.

Li Zuoche is also the first. He suggested to Chen Yu that he should lead his troops to attack Han Xin's grain and hay from behind, and the troops only need to reinforce the fortifications in front and stick to the camp without going to war. Within ten days, Han Xin and Zhang Er will be captured, otherwise, they will be captured by Han Xin.

Chen Yu has his own ideas. Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud. If there are ten times more troops than the enemy, we can surround them. If we can double the enemy, we can fight the enemy. At present, Han Xin's army claims to be tens of thousands, but in fact there are only a few thousand people, and they are exhausted by Wan Li Road. In the face of such an opponent, if you can't retreat, can you fight with a stronger enemy in the future? Don't the princes laugh at us? So he flatly rejected Li Zuoche's suggestion.

The birth of a famous star, in addition to his own talent, present situation and opportunities, often needs the close cooperation of opponents like pigs. For Han Xin, Chen Yu is almost such a role.

Chen Yu rejected Li Zuoche's suggestion, while Han Xin learned the situation through spies.

It's not just God's help. Han Xin should be responsible for this battle.

Han Xin, who got the information, led the troops to a place 30 miles away from Jingxingkou, and the troops stopped to have a rest. By midnight, the whole army was ordered to get ready. After some deployment, the whole army was ordered to have breakfast, pad a stomach first, and then bury the pot for cooking after defeating Zhao Jun, so that the whole army would have food to eat.

The disparity in strength is well known to the whole army. Everyone can't believe whether Zhao Can will be defeated, except Han Xin, but when the boss speaks, everyone is even more afraid not to follow.

Han Xin sent 10,000 people out of Jingxingkou to cross the river with their backs lined up. Zhao smiled at first, but he was in no hurry to attack. The thief tried to slap the king. At this time, Han Xin was hiding behind the army. He has an absolute advantage in strength, but he is a little short of brains, so he is not in a hurry to attack.

Laugh, you'll cry later. As soon as the sun came out, Han Xin raised the general's flag and appeared in front of Zhao with drums. Zhao, you Han Xin finally appeared, completely annihilated. When the two armies were at war, Han Xin's 10,000 men could not beat others. Han Xin gave the order and the whole army retreated. So, no matter the flag or drum, it was thrown away on the spot, and the whole army retreated to the ship.

You don't need to teach Reservoir Dogs. The enemy's flag is the meritorious military service, not to mention picking up cheap things. So, Zhao Wofeng ran away in full swing, and really hit Reservoir Dogs when he couldn't grab anything. At this point, Han Xin's two thousand Qingqi troops deployed in advance had already laid an ambush flag on the mountain. When he saw Zhao's nest, he immediately rushed into the base camp at lightning speed, pulled out Zhao's flag and inserted the red flag of the Han army.

Here, the Han army has retreated to the water's edge, and there is no way out. Either jump into the river and swim to the other side, or go back and fight. Zhao fought for a bite to eat, or wanted to make a meritorious military service, but this side became a fight for his own life.

As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes. Once Zhao found the red eye of the Han army and began to work hard. He was a little discouraged and wanted to go back to the camp. But looking back, all the flags of the Han army floated in the camp, which made the morale of the army chaotic and the people distracted. The Han army took advantage of the situation to attack, attacked from inside and outside, defeated Zhao Jun, killed Chen Yu and captured Zhao Wangxie alive.

The last World War fully reflected Han Xin's military wisdom. The battle was over and the generals still didn't understand. Everyone who leads troops to fight has read a little about the art of war. Sun Tzu's art of war teaches us that the mountains are facing the water. But today, you made us back on the river and won. What is the reason?

Han Xin smiled. The truth lies in the art of war, but you just didn't notice it. Sun Tzu's art of war has a cloud. When you are sleepy, you must live and then stay. Now I am not leading my old subordinates, and I have never been kind to them. I am directing them now, just like driving a group of people to war at a fair. Whoever has any difficulties will run. If there is no retreat, who will fight to the death?

Chen Yuxian smiled when he saw the Han army's back water array. It was because he didn't understand the truth that "a letter is better than no book" that Zhao Jun was defeated and Chen Yu died.

Han Xin's smile is a smug smile. Han Xin found the truth from an unreasonable place, and then won the battle, winning the absolute advantage with an absolutely inferior force. It is natural for him to be proud of his complete victory.

Apart from pride, Han Xin did two things, one was to show his military sobriety, and the other was to show his political confusion.

"Take Yan and Zhao in the north, attack Qi in the east, take the grain route of Chu in the south, and meet the king in Xingyang in the west." This is Han Xin's mission. Now Zhao Ping, and Yan Heqi.

Before the war, Han Xin ordered not to kill Li Zuoche and offered a reward for the capture of Li Zuoche. So, soon, Li Zuoche and Han Xin tied together.

Han Xin got up and untied him personally, let him sit at the table, regard him as a teacher, and asked him about cutting Qi.

After Li Zuoche refused, he first praised Han Xin, and then analyzed the current situation of soldiers' fatigue in Han Xin's continuous operations. Think about the first conversation between Han Xin and Liu Bang, and then look at Li Zuoche's art of speaking. Being a teacher in Han Xin is more than enough. It's a pity that Han Xin took Li Zuoche's advice, but didn't learn the key to life.

Li Zuoche suggested that Han Xin stay put, rest his foot soldiers, settle the land of Zhao, support orphans, kill thousands of wines every day, reward soldiers, and make a gesture of attacking Yan. At the same time, he sent debaters to lobby Yan, fully demonstrating the prestige accumulated by several victories and threatening Yan with force. When Yan surrendered, Qi was bound to be invincible. Even if it refuses to surrender, then the troops will rest almost, and then lead the elite troops to attack, and Qi will be defeated.

Han Xin was overjoyed and accepted Li Zuoche's plan. The prince really surrendered when he heard the news.

Han Xin can defeat the enemy without fighting, although he has the power of planning, but without Han Xin's sweeping victory, even the best plan is useless.

From attacking Wei State to surrendering to Yan State without fighting, Han Xin won four governors in four months, which showed Han Xin's unparalleled military talent, but at the same time fully exposed Han Xin's political ignorance.

First of all, Li Zuoche suggested that Han Xin should leave his foot soldiers and be loyal to Yan Qi. Li Zuoche's suggestion was correct, but Han Xin fully accepted it and put it into practice, but it was not the most important thing for Han Xin at that time. Let's talk about it later.

Second, after the surrender of Yan, Han Xin took the initiative to write to Liu Bang, requesting Zhang Er to be the prince of Zhao.

Han Xin asked Zhang Er to be the prince of Zhao, but he certainly didn't get on well with Zhang Er. As long as Zhang Er becomes king, he will be happier than himself. Liu bang began to pacify the Three Qin Dynasties, and all the pacified land was not crowned king, but established counties and counties according to the practice of Qin Shihuang. And Han Xin is keen on sealing the king, but even if he made several exploits, he didn't dare to make a move, so he thought about taking Zhang Er to explore.

It is the duty of a general to fight well, and politics should not be involved, not to mention such a major personnel issue as sealing the king. Han Xin thought he was smart, but he forced Liu Bang into a dilemma. He refused to seal Zhang Er, which offended Zhang Er at first, and may also cause other governors to worry and refuse to submit. Promise to seal Zhang Er, but also against their own major policies, other people who have made the meritorious military service but failed to seal the king can't explain it. As a boss, a bowl of water is even, isn't it? To say the least, when Zhang Er became king, should Zhang Er thank Liu Bang or Han Xin?

After several victories, Han Xin began to dig his own grave.
