At least the biography of Huaiyin Hou written by Sima Qian, a great official, records that Han Xin considered rebellion when he was the king of Chu.
When reading Biography of Huaiyin Hou, I was deeply impressed by Han Xin's unparalleled talent, and also by Han Xin's hesitation and timidity.
According to Sima Qian's viewpoint in Biography of Wei Bao and Peng Yue, there is nothing wrong with being afraid of death and not wanting to die. Once people like Wei Bao and Peng Yue can survive, they will escape one day, which will definitely stir the world.
Han Xin would rather be humiliated by his leg than fight back, so he was hesitant and timid. But hesitation and timidity helped him save his life, so that he could one day find a place to play his talents and light up the sky at the time of Chu and Han Dynasties.
For his own ending, Han Xin is not completely ignorant. Kuai Tong, the counselor, once told Han Xin that a cunning rabbit died in sorrow. After the world is decided, Liu Bang will find a chance to kill Han Xin, so when Han Xin was caught by Liu Bang, Han Xin said that he was Gao Zhen's master.
In the face of Han Xin's accusation of political persecution, Liu Bang denied it. Liu told Han Xin that I arrested you Han Xin because someone accused you of Han Xin's rebellion.
Is Han Xin rebellious? Before Liu Bang captured Han Xin, there was no definite rebellion in Han Xin, but there was rebellion in Han Xin. Han Xin is just too timid, have a wicked heart and no thief bravery, and considering his own merits, Liu Bang won't do anything to himself, so there is no opposition.
In a word, Han Xin didn't object, not because he was heartless, but because he had no guts. Han Xin, the king of Chu at that time, was armed to the teeth everywhere he went, and took many ranks to protect himself, which showed how afraid he was of the Chu people.
Han Xin was afraid of the Chu people and Liu Bang knew that he was harboring Xiang Yu's general Zhong, so he discussed with Zhong and asked Zhong to offer his head. Christy Chung told Han Xin that Liu Bang didn't move your Han Xin, not only because he was afraid of your military talent in Han Xin, but also because of my talent in Christy Chung. Once I join hands with you, Liu Bang can do nothing. But Han Xin still wants to flatter Liu Bang with Li Zhong's head. Then, Li Zhong's throat was cut, and Li Zhong commented on Han Xin in front of his throat, saying that Han Xin was unfaithful.
Han Xin disloyal, renamed Huaiyin Hou, and said to Chen Yi, The stag you want to take office now has a good soldier in the world. If you have a good soldier in your hand, someone will falsely accuse you of rebellion. Liu Bang won't believe the first false accusation against you. The second time I falsely accused you, Liu Bang became suspicious. The third time I falsely accused you, Liu Bang believed me. Instead of waiting to be falsely accused later, it is better to make plans for rebellion as early as possible.
After brainwashing Chen Yi, Han Xin assured Chen Yi that when you rebel, I will be your inside man in Beijing. On that day, the world will be profitable! Han Xin's talent, the general of the Han dynasty governors, Chen Yi naturally admired Han Xin, so he followed Han Xin's idea and actively prepared to rebel after arriving at Julu.
In the tenth year of Han Dynasty, Chen Yi rebelled. Han Xin sent someone to contact Chen Si and tell Chen Si that you are here to send troops this time and I will help you. As a result, Han Xin "lied to the minister at night to forgive the official slaves, with the intention of attacking Lv Hou and the prince." After all the arrangements are completed, wait for good news from Chen Yi.
At this time, Han Xin is no longer a question of faithfulness, but has a clear anti-trace, and will naturally be killed.
Han Xin is an ambitious man since he was a teenager. He is not satisfied with mediocrity.
Mother died and had no money to buy a cemetery, but Han Xin still tried to bury her mother in a good cemetery; During the Xiang Liang Uprising, this timid boy who had been humiliated by his legs dared to join the army, which showed his great ambition to make a difference in troubled times. However, after two years in office, although Han Xin repeatedly looked for opportunities to give advice to Xiang Liang, none of them were adopted. So after Xiang Yu was enfeoffed, Han Xin turned to Liu Bangjun to look for opportunities; Han Xin, who managed Asu's surname in Liu Bang's army, still felt hopeless, so he wanted to change to other governors to look for opportunities. ...
Being demoted to Huaiyin Hou, Han Xin was full of grievances and unwilling to be lonely. When he visited Fan Kuai's house, Fan Kuai bowed down and saw him off, calling himself a minister and calling Han Xin king. But Han Xin was very unhappy and felt that he was in the company of Fan Kuai. Therefore, Han Xin at this time, for the sake of self-esteem, of course, there will be betrayal!
If there is rebellion and betrayal, it is natural to be killed.
