After that, he was recommended by Xia Houying and paid homage to Su Dawei, but he was not reused. Xiao He recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang, so Liu Bang made Han Xin a general.

So, Liu Bang sent Zhang Liangli Han Xin as the king of Qi, and in October of the following year, he ordered Han Xin to meet with him and panic in the Chu army, forcing Xiang Yu to commit suicide. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he was relieved of the military power and moved to the king of Chu. After being denounced for rebellion and demoted to Huaiyin Hou, Lv Hou colluded with Xiao He, the prime minister, and tricked him into Changle Palace on the pretext of Han Xin's rebellion, and he was beheaded in the bell room, killing his three families.

major achievements
Han Xin is familiar with the art of war, saying that "more troops is better". As a tactician, Han Xin left a lot of tactical allusions for later generations: building a plank road, secretly crossing Chencang, setting up doubts in the Jin Dynasty, smuggling xia yang, crossing the army with a wooden peddler, fighting with the water behind his back, changing his flag, changing his interpretation, sinking sand and breaking the water, and fighting halfway. His tactics of using troops were highly praised by military strategists in past dynasties. As a strategist, Han Xin is the most outstanding general after Sun Wu and Bai Qi. His greatest feature is his flexible use of troops. He is the most skillful general in the history of China War. The battles in Jingxing and Weishui commanded by him are masterpieces in the history of war.

in the 13th volume of the Qing River County Records of Xianfeng, it is recorded that "Han Xin's Three Articles" has a small note: "Emperor Hancheng ordered Ren Hong to discuss four kinds of military books, including Han Xin's three articles. Before and after the Han dynasty, the art and literature records were all recorded. And Yun Hanxing, Zhang Liang, Han Xin ordered the Art of War, where 181 schools were deleted and used, 35 schools were set. Zhu Lv stole it by doing things. Gai Huaiyin is the oldest person who wrote books. " Therefore, Han Xin once wrote three military works, which is the earliest record of Huaiyin people writing books.
during the period of house arrest, Han Xin worked with Zhang Liang to sort out the military books since the pre-Qin period, and won 182 books, which was the first large-scale sorting out of military books in the history of China, laying a scientific foundation for the study of China and military art. At the same time, military laws were collected and supplemented. There are three articles on the art of war, which have been lost.
