Chapter 21 4. Who is the most important weight

Han Xin is a young man with dreams and talents. According to the current words, he is a potential stock.But few people would realize this at first, Han Xin's fellow countryman, Xiang Yu, including Liu Bang. He came from a humble background, a commoner who was too poor to even have enough to eat, but he didn't take anything seriously.When his mother was alive, he took care of his food and clothing. Later, when his mother passed away, he became a complete homeless man, eating and drinking everywhere, and being looked down upon by others.These things are nothing to Han Xin, and he just laughed off the insults and curses others gave him.When his mother passed away, he specially found a cemetery for her that was wide enough to accommodate 10,000 families, and told others that Han Xin would one day be named "Marquis of Ten Thousand Households". Of course, such words caused ridicule and disdain from others.

With such a dream, Han Xin joined the Rebel Army. He first followed Xiang Liang. Before Han Xin had time to show his talent, Xiang Liang died.In this way, Han Xin followed Xiang Yu again, and Xiang Yu promoted Han Xin a little, and Han Xin became a Lang Zhongling, and his duty was to stand guard for Xiang Yu day and night.Han Xin was very disappointed, but he also saw the good side: After all, there will be many opportunities to get in touch. I, Han Xin, am afraid that I will not be discovered by Xiang Yu? It didn't take long for Han Xin to discover that Xiang Yu would not think that other people had literary and military strategies except himself.Every time Han Xin took the opportunity to present the time, Xiang Yu always cast a contemptuous look at him, and then casually said: "I will think about it carefully, you go down first." This contemptuous look made Han Xin very uncomfortable.When Xiang Yu decided to kill 200,000 Qin soldiers in Xin'an pit, Han Xin shuddered outside the door. It was really a big mistake to do so!When Fan Zeng and others left, Han Xin didn't care so much, so he went in and wanted to advise Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu still asked casually, "What's the matter?" Han Xin said, "General, this is 200,000 lives. If you do this You will lose popular support." Xiang Yu said, "I didn't expect you to care about important military affairs, but you don't understand the marching and fighting at all..." Han Xin wanted to say something, and Xiang Yu waved his hand and said, "You just have to worry about it." Just do your job well." Han Xin backed away in frustration.

The operation to kill 200,000 Qin soldiers was finally carried out. On the second day, when he saw the small hill where the bones of Qin soldiers were buried, he thought: "Will Xiang Yu be the one who unifies the world? What do I do with him?" way out?" Han Xin's ambition turned into disappointment and confusion. He was still working as a small guard, but he was wasting his time. Xiang Yu's victories and defeats have hardly attracted his attention. Without any suspense, Xiang Yu finally entered Xianyang and became the Overlord of Western Chu.The world has been decided, and the princes will be divided up next.The Chu army entered Xianyang and started a carnival.Han Xin thought: "The world is going to be peaceful, is there still room for me to use my force?" With this in mind, he walked in Xianyang, which was occupied by the Chu army.The streets of Xianyang are full of depression, and the north wind howls past, like a choked cry.This is too far from the victory that Han Xinxin envisioned. It is the wish of millions of people to kill the Qin Dynasty. Why does Xianyang City seem to have no joy, but instead, it is full of sadness.Han Xin fell into deep thought.

At this time, the cavalry of the Chu army rushed through the street and scattered the people on the street. The people and horses passed by, and the street was in a mess.Han Xin said to himself: "The king of Chu is leading arrogant soldiers." There was a little girl crying on the street who was too late to dodge and fell to the ground. Her clothes were ragged and her face was disheveled. She got up and said: "Go home early, the street is quite chaotic." When the girl heard it, she cried louder, and then said: "There is no one in the house..." It turned out that the girl's two older brothers both joined the army Later, it was heard that she was killed by Xiang Yukeng. Her parents were sad and hopeless, and finally died of illness.The little girl asked: "Did Xiang Yu really bury my brothers alive?" Han Xin sighed and did not answer.The little girl said again: "Some time ago, when Liu Bang was in Xianyang, we had a good life for a few days. I heard from the folks that Liu Bang will be the king of Guanzhong, and that will be fine." The little girl's words hit Han's confidence On the morning, after Han Xin arranged for the villagers to take care of the little girl, he hurried back to the barracks.He had already made a decision in his heart, and it suddenly became clear.

The next day, the flags outside the city of Xianyang were buzzing, and Xiang Yu was entrusting the eighteen princes and kings.Han Xin stood in the queue behind the King of Chu, thinking about it: "One of these princes should be me." After the entrustment, Han Xin carefully observed the expression of Liu Bang, the king of Han.Who would be happy?It was originally agreed that whoever entered the pass first would be the king of Guanzhong, but Xiang Yu actually drove him to the land of Bashu.Han Xin felt that Liu Bang had already won the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and he would not be willing to subdue Bashu.It seems that peace in the world is only superficial, and there will be wars soon.

Liu Bang was about to go, and Xiang Yu ordered that as long as he was willing to follow Liu Bang, he could go.Unexpectedly, there were more than 10,000 people who were willing to follow Liu Bang to Bashu, and Han Xin was one of them.Han Xin wanted to place his bet on Liu Bang, and wanted to show off his ambitions. He officially switched from Xiang's Legion to Liu's Legion.This choice made Liu Bang and himself a success. There are always twists and turns when a big shot comes on stage. Han Xin joined the King of Han and began to travel long distances with the Han army, but he was not immediately noticed by Liu Bang, and Han Xin only became a small official in charge of the warehouse.What's even more unfortunate is that someone in the army violated the military order, and Han Xin will also be imprisoned.The thirteen people in the same case had already been executed, and it was Han Xin's turn. Han Xin felt that he had been wronged to die like this. He raised his eyes and sighed, and happened to see Xia Houying. All soldiers in the army knew that Xia Houying was Liu Bang. He is a confidant, and he is kind, and treats his subordinates very well.At the critical moment, Han Xin seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and shouted: "Doesn't the King of Han want to take over the world? Why did he kill the strong man?" Xia Houying ordered not to execute the execution yet. After carefully tasting Han Xin's words, he felt that this was not As an ordinary soldier said, seeing his mighty appearance, he asked: "You say you are a strong man, what is your reason?" Han Xin said: "Let me go, and talk to you in detail." He, talking to him, is really extraordinary.Soon he recommended it to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang granted Han Xin an official position in charge of food and payment, but he didn't find anything special about him.

Xia Houying still firmly believed in his own judgment, and kept propagating for Han Xin, which later reached Xiao He's ears.Xiao He was very interested in Han Xin, so he also came to talk to him. Unexpectedly, Han Xin conquered Xiao He all at once. Conquered by Han Xin, Liu Bang still couldn't see anything strange about Han Xin, not to mention that at this time Liu Bang was still deeply lost in being fooled by Xiang Yu, and he was not so concerned about other things.Xiao He comforted Han Xin in private: "When the King of Han is in a good mood, I propose to make you a general."

But when will Liu Bang be in a good mood?Han Xin didn't have a deep impression of Liu Bang. Although Liu Bang is famous for his benevolence, can he really become the new master of the world?Han Xin, who was eager to make contributions, was shaken again.One night, Han Xin quietly rode his horse and headed north. Xiao He had a premonition about Han Xin's departure, and he felt uneasy, so he came to visit and comfort him.Sure enough, as soon as Han Xin left, Xiao He hurriedly ordered people to prepare horses, and after chasing for a whole night, he finally caught up with Han Xin, and vowed to recommend him as a general.

Han Xin's departure and Xiao He's pursuit forced Liu Bang to start to examine this young man named Han Xin. Does he really have such great abilities?Liu Bang couldn't bear Xiao He's repeated requests, so he omitted the inspection steps and directly worshiped Han Xin as a general.After the general obeisance was over, he had a conversation with Han Xin.Han Xin's whip pierced into it, hit the nail on the head, and every sentence spoke to Liu Bang's heart, completely dispelling Liu Bang's doubts. Liu Bang stood up excitedly, and said: "You really deserve to be the general of this king. If Xiao Xiangguo hadn't helped me chase you back, there would be no hope for this king's world." Then, he went to Han Xin: "I and the great general The general hates seeing each other too late, hates seeing each other too late!" As he said, he clapped his palm on Han Xin's shoulder.

Liu Bang clearly felt that Han Xin's clothes were too shabby. At that time, the Han army had just arrived in Nanzheng, and supplies were tight, and the soldiers' clothes were also thin.It was autumn and the weather was getting colder. Liu Bang blamed himself for his negligence. Why didn't he prepare a new dress for Han Xin when he bowed to the general?Thinking of this, Liu Bang took off his clothes and put them on Han Xin's body almost without thinking: "It was my negligence that I didn't prepare new clothes for the general. This one is newly made, and it looks suitable for you. Don't dislike it..." Han Xin said: "You can't..." Just as he was about to take it off, Liu Bang stretched out his hand and pressed Han Xin tightly, signaling him not to move. Han Xin felt the warmth of his hands and didn't say a word.

Han Xin thought: There are too many differences between the King of Han and the King of Chu. After that, Han Xin took over the military affairs of the Han army and actively prepared to complete the plan to return the Sanqin.Seeing Han Xin's exhausted figure, Liu Bang gave up his carriage to Han Xin from time to time, and distributed the meals prepared for him to Han Xin. Grace's determination. Han Xin lived up to everyone's expectations, darkened Chen Cang, and successfully completed Liu Bang's set goal. Afterwards, he was invincible and invincible, leading the Han army to create war myths one after another. In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (203 years ago), Han Xin led his troops to conquer the land of Qi. He had the capital to be superior to the heroes, and then he won the title of King Qi from Liu Bang.Xiang Yu learned that his 200,000 troops and commander Long Qie were completely destroyed by Han Xin, and that the Han army surrounded the Chu army. For the first time in his life, this powerful warrior felt regret, confusion and fear. psychology.Who is Han Xin?Isn't it the little Lang Zhongling who often comes to offer advice?Xiang Yu had to admit that he was wrong, and had to admit that there are many capable people in the world today... At this time, Han Xin became the most important weight in the dispute between Chu and Han. Xiang Yu knew that with Han Xin helping Liu Bang, his chances of winning became smaller and smaller.So Wu She was sent to instigate Han Xin's rebellion, and the condition was: one-third of the world.Kuai Che, who does not belong to any faction, also saw the delicate position of Han Xin in the situation at that time, and rushed to join in the fun at the first time, making Han Xin call himself alone in the south and divide the world into three parts.The plans of the two were surprisingly consistent.Both Wu She and Kuai Che had unique eyesight, and their analysis of the situation at that time was well-founded and penetrating. If Han Xin's brain had become hot at that time, his ambition had moved, and the world would be divided into three parts, maybe history would really have to be rewritten.But Han Xin refused. He said: "When I was on duty for King Xiang, I was just a guard with a gun and stood guard. I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, who gave me their clothes and food, and listened to me, so I am today. He trusts me so much, I can’t betray him even if I die.” Han Xin's words are from the bottom of his heart, so he made the Han Dynasty rule the world. Liu Bang's affinity is a deadly weapon. Even Han Xin, the greatest military strategist in Chinese history, was attracted, and he followed him with determination. Naturally, the contributions of Xia Houying and Xiao He cannot be ignored.Then Han Xin was in Xiang Yu's tent, why didn't anyone strongly recommend Han Xin to Xiang Yu?One is because Xiang Yu has no one under his command, and it can be seen that it is difficult for Xiang Yu to accept other people's opinions.According to the situation at the time, if Han Xin followed Han, Chu would perish;Liu Bang is really the lucky one in history, enjoying the fruits of victory in the peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty.However, Liu Bang did not jump out of the stereotype of a politician in the end. Seeing that Han Xin had made too much contribution, he became murderous. Of course, this is a later story.
