When Xiang Liang crossed the Huaihe River, Han Xin took his sword to Xiang Liang and lived under his command, with little fame. After the defeat, Xiang Liang defected to Xiang Yu and became a doctor. Han Xin made several suggestions to Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu refused to adopt them. Hanwang entered Shu and Han Xin left Chu for Han, but he still failed to make a name for himself. He is just a petty official in charge of the granary. Later, he was executed for breaking the law, and thirteen people who committed crimes with him were beheaded. When it was his turn, Han Xin looked up and saw Teng Gong. Han Xin said, "Hanwang doesn't want the world? And actually killed a strong man! " Teng Gong was surprised to hear his words. Seeing his extraordinary appearance, he released him. I talked to him and admired him very much, so I suggested Hanwang. Hanwang appointed him as a captain to treat Ji, but he didn't find any special talents.
Han Xin talked with Xiao He several times, and Xiao He admired him very much. In Nanzheng, dozens of generals escaped. Han Xin estimated that Xiao He and others recommended themselves several times in front of Liu Bang, but since they didn't have to, they ran away. Xiao He heard that Han Xin had escaped and had no time to report to Liu Bang, so he went after Han Xin himself. Someone said to Liu Bang, "Prime Minister Xiao He has escaped." Liu Bang was very angry, as if he had lost his right hand. After a day or two, Xiao He came to visit. Angry and happy, Liu Bang scolded Xiao He and said, "Why did you run away?" Xiao He said, "My lieutenant is afraid to run away. They are chasing people. " Liu Bang said, "Who are you chasing?" Xiao He said, "It's Han Xin." Liu bang scolded: "there are dozens of generals who have escaped, so you don't chase them;" It is a lie to say that chasing Han Xin. " Xiao He said: "Those generals are easy to find, but like Han Xin, there is no second person in the country. If the king only intends to be king in Hanzhong for a long time, he can not appoint Han Xin; If you are determined to fight for the world, no one can discuss big things with you except Han Xin. It depends on the king's decision. Hanwang said: "I also want to March eastward. How can I stay here glumly for a long time? " Xiao He said: "Since the King is determined to move eastward, if Han Xin can use it, Han Xin will stay; If you can't use Han Xin, Han Xin will eventually escape. " Hanwang said, "I made him your general." Xiao He said: "Although you appointed him as a general, Han Xin will not stay." Hanwang said, "Then appoint him as a general." Xiao He said, "Great!" So Hanwang summoned Han Xin and made him a general. Xiao He said, "Your Majesty has always been rude to others. Now appointing a general is like appointing a child. That's why Han Xin left. If the king is determined to be appointed, he must choose a day to bathe and fast, and build a square platform for the ceremony. " Hanwang accepted Xiao He's suggestion. The generals were so happy that everyone thought there would be a general. When the general was appointed, the whole army was surprised to find that it was Han Xin.
After Han Xin became a general, he sat down. Hanwang said: "The Prime Minister mentioned the general several times in front of me. What clever tricks does the general have to teach me? " Han Xin thanked him for a while and then asked Hanwang, "Now we are fighting for power in the East. Isn't Wang Xiang the only main rival?" Hanwang said, "That's right." Han Xin said, "How does your majesty compare with Wang Xiang in bravery, bravery, kindness and strength?" Hanwang was silent for a long time before saying, "Not as good as Wang Xiang." Han Xin thanked and congratulated him again and said, "I, Han Xin, also think that the king is inferior to Wang Xiang. However, my lieutenants used to work for Wang Xiang. Please let me talk about Wang Xiang's character. When Wang Xiang growled, thousands of people put their words behind them, so that talented generals could not be appointed. This is just the courage of every man. Wang Xiang is respectful and cautious, and speaks softly. When others are sick, he will cry and share his diet with the patients. But when others deserve knighthood for meritorious service, even if he grinds his official seal without edges and corners, he is still unwilling to give it to others. This is called a woman's kindness. Although Wang Xiang ruled the world and had a prince, he did not live in Guanzhong, but built his capital in Pengcheng. He violated the agreement of the righteous emperor and made his cronies king, and the princes were unjust. When the princes saw that King Xiang had expelled the righteous emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, they all went back to expel the original monarch and occupied a good place to stand on their own feet as king. All the places that Wang Xiang passed by were destroyed and hated by people. People didn't want to join them, but because of their arrogance, they reluctantly obeyed. Although Xiang Wang is nominally the overlord, he has actually lost the hearts and minds of the world, so his strength is easy to weaken. Now, if the king can do the opposite and appoint brave people in the world, why worry that the enemy will not be destroyed! All the cities in the world have been sealed to meritorious ministers. Why do ministers refuse to accept them? Lead the homesick rebels back to the east, why worry that the enemy will not be defeated! Besides, the King of Sanqin was originally a general of the Qin Dynasty. He led the children of Qin State for several years. He killed countless soldiers and tricked them into surrendering to the prince. When Wang Xiang arrived in Xin 'an, he defrauded the State of Qin and killed more than 200,000 people, but Zhang Han, Sima Xin and Dong Kun were not killed. Qin's brothers and sisters hate these three people. They hate them. Now Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, has made these three kings with great force, and the people of Qin will not support them. When the king entered Wuguan, Qiu didn't commit any crime, and abolished the harsh torture law of the Qin Dynasty, making three chapters with the people. There is no one in Qin who doesn't want the king to be king in Qin. According to the agreement of the governors, the king of Guanzhong should be king, and the people of Guanzhong are household names. However, the people of Qin were dissatisfied with the fact that the king had lost his due position and called him King Shu. Now, the king is moving eastward. As long as he issues a campaign, the Sanqin area can be solved. " Hanwang was very happy. He thought it was too late to get Han Xin. Hanwang listened to Han Xin's plan and deployed generals to prepare for the war.
Hanwang sent troops from Chencang East to pacify Sanqin. In the second year of Emperor Gaozu's reign, he went to Hanguguan and surrendered Bao Wang of Wei and Shenyang of Henan. Zheng Chang of Han and Sima Yi of Yin also surrendered successively. Hanwang also ordered Qi and Zhao to send troops to attack Pengcheng of Chu, and the Han army was defeated. Later, Han Xin sent his troops to join forces with Hanwang in Xingyang and defeated the Chu army between Beijing and Suo, and the Chu army could no longer move westward.
After the defeat of Hanwang in Pengcheng, King Sima Xin of Sai and Dong Kun of Zhai rebelled against Han and surrendered to Chu, and Qi, Zhao and Wei also rebelled against Han and made peace with Chu. Hanwang sent Li Sheng to lobby Wei, but Wei didn't listen, so Hanwang appointed Han Xin as the left prime minister and led the army to attack Wei. Han Xin asked Li Sheng, "Wang Wei won't use Uncle Zhou as a general, will he?" Answer: "Use wisdom as a general." Han Xin said: "Bai Zhi is an incompetent junior." Just attack Wei. Wei laid a heavy army in Pubanbu and blocked Linjin. Han Xin set up more suspicious soldiers, dispersed ships and pretended to cross the Jin Dynasty. He secretly sent an ambush from Xiayang, crossed the river with a small mouth and a big belly, and attacked Anyi, Wei Du. Wei was frightened and led the troops to meet Han Xin. Han Xin captured Wei Wangbao in one fell swoop, pacified Hedong, and sent someone to ask Hanwang to say, "I hope to send another 30,000 troops. My lieutenant will attack Qi in the east, Yan and Zhao in Peiping, and I will cut off the grain transportation route of Chu in the south and Wang Huishi in Xingyang in the west." Hanwang sent another 30,000 troops to Han Xin, and sent Han Xin eastward to attack Zhao Hedai. After the invasion of Dadi, Dai Xiangxiang said that he had captured Dai Xiang alive. After Han Xin captured Wei and Dai, Hanwang sent someone to take back his chosen men and went to Xingyang to resist the Chu army.
Han Xin and Zhang Er led tens of thousands of troops to attack the State of Zhao in Jingxing. Zhao Wang and Cheng heard the attack of the Han army, so they gathered their troops to the estuary, claiming that there were 200,000. The general of Guangwu entered the stage and said, "I heard that Han Xin crossed the Xihe River and captured Wang Wei and Xia. Now I have an assistant and want to take Zhao. This is an adventure abroad, and its potential is unstoppable. I heard:' If you transport food thousands of miles away, your foot soldiers will be in danger of starvation; When we go to chop wood and cook at dinner time, the army will not be full. "At present, vehicles are not allowed to be parallel on Jingxing Road, and the cavalry marched hundreds of miles, so their food supply is bound to fall behind.
I hope you can lend me 30,000 lieutenants to cut off the food and weapons supply of the Han army from a small road. You can dig deep trenches here to build a high base and fight the Han army, so that the Han army can't fight before and can't retreat after. I will cut off the back road of the Han army with Indiana Jones, so that they can't find food in the wild. Within ten days, the heads of Han Xin and Zhang Er will be dedicated to you. I hope you can pay attention to the strategy of the liegeman, or you will be captured by these two boys. Confucian Cheng often claimed that a righteous teacher did not have to resort to betrayal, so he said, "I heard Sun Tzu's Art of War say,' If you have ten times the strength of the enemy, surround the enemy, and if you have twice the strength of the enemy, engage the enemy.' Now Han Xin's army claims tens of thousands. In fact, there can't be so many. It's exhausting to come all the way to attack us. We should avoid troops like this. If there are bigger enemies in the future, how will we deal with them? Governors will laugh at our cowardice and will be more likely to attack us in the future. "So I don't take the tactic of GuangWuJun.
Han Xin secretly sent spies to spy on him, and was very happy to learn that Guangwujun's plan had not been adopted, so he dared to lead his troops to attack Jingxing Narrow Road. It stopped 30 miles away from Jingxingkou. In the middle of the night, the military order was issued, and 2,000 light cavalry were selected, each with a red flag in his hand. They ran from the alley to the mountains to hide and monitor Zhao Jun, and warned them: "Zhao Jun will definitely rush to chase us when he sees our army escape. You can quickly rush into Zhao Ying, pull out Zhao Jun's flag and erect the red flag of Han Army." At the same time, he asked the lieutenant to order the preparation of food, saying, "We will eat after defeating Zhao Jun today."
The generals don't know why, but pretend to promise: "Yes." Han Xin also said to the officers: "The Zhao army has occupied the favorable terrain first. Before they saw the general of the Han army in full swing, they refused to attack our vanguard troops easily because they were worried that we would retreat when we encountered obstacles. " So Han Xin sent ten thousand people as pioneers and went out of Jingxingkou, last stand. Zhao Jun laughed when he saw it. At dawn, Han Xin raised the general's flag and drummed out of Jingxing. Zhao began to attack the Han army and fought fiercely for a long time. So Han Xin and Zhang Er pretended to give up their flags and drums and fled to the Han army by the river. When they reached the position by the river, they went back to fight. Zhao, out of the nest, really came to compete for the Han army and pursue Han Xin. Han Xin and Zhang Er returned to the position of the Han army by the river, and the whole army fought to the death, so Zhao could not win. At this time, when Han Xin sent two thousand cavalry, when Zhao came out to compete for the spoils of the Han army, they immediately rushed into Zhao's camp, pulled out all the flags of Zhao, and erected two thousand red flags of the Han army. When Zhao saw that Han Xin and the others would not return, he wanted to retreat and return to the village. However, the red flag of the Han army has been erected in the Zhao army camp. He was frightened to disgrace and thought that the Han army had captured all the Zhao generals, so the team was in chaos and fled in all directions. General Zhao killed many deserters, but there was still nothing he could do. So the Han army attacked from both sides, defeated the Zhao army, killed Cheng on the water and captured Zhao Wangxie.
Han Xin ordered not to kill Guang Wu Jun. Whoever can capture Guang Wu Jun alive will be rewarded with his daughter. Soon, someone tied Guang Wu Jun to Han Xinshuai's camp. Han Xin untied his tie and asked Guang Wu Jun to sit facing east, while he faced west and treated him as a teacher.
After the generals dedicated Zhao's head and prisoners to Han Xin, they all congratulated Han Xin. Someone took the opportunity to ask Han Xin: "According to the art of war, the disposal should be' right back to the mountains and left to Shui Ze'. Now the generals ordered us to carry water arrays, and even said that Zhao would have dinner later. At that time, we refused to accept it. However, we won. What tactics were used? " Han Xin said: "This is also true in the art of war, but you don't realize it. Didn't Sun Tzu's Art of War say,' If you are trapped, you will live; if you stay, you will survive'? I didn't get trained soldiers in Han Xin who could obey the transfer. As Sun Tzu said in The Art of War,' Drive people in the market to fight'. In this case, only put them to death, so that each of them can bravely fight for survival; If I put them in the wasteland today, they will all run away. Can I still use them to fight? " The generals all said admiringly, "We didn't think of that!"
Han Xin asked Guang Wu Jun, "I plan to attack Yan in the north and Qi in the east. How can I succeed? " Guang declined and said, "I heard that' the minister of national subjugation is not qualified to talk about the prosperity of the country, and the defeated general is not qualified to talk about brave battles'. How can a person like me weigh the state affairs with you! " Han Xin said, "I heard that when he was in the state of Yu, the state of Yu perished, and when he was in the state of Qin, the state of Qin dominated. This is not because he was stupid in Yu, but because he was clever in Qin, but because the monarch used his talents and listened to his tricks. If Cheng Anjun had listened to your plan, I would have been a prisoner. I sincerely ask you for advice, and I hope you won't refuse. "
Guang Wu Jun said: "I have heard:' Even if a smart person has a long-term idea, he will lose it; A fool's deliberation will bring gains, so people say that a madman's words can be adopted by a saint. I'm afraid my plan will not be adopted, but I hope it will only help foolish loyalty. Cheng won every battle, but once he made a mistake, he was defeated and died in Xiongzhou on the water. Today, the general caught Wang Wei, but Xia said that in less than one morning, he broke Zhao's 200,000 troops and killed Cheng. Famous princes and people must stop working, take out light clothes and delicious food, and obey your orders. However, the people are tired and the foot soldiers are tired. It is really difficult to fight. Now the general is using tired soldiers, and Lawton is under the strong Yancheng, which is obviously regarded as insufficient strength. Want to attack, but can't attack, protracted, run out of ammunition. If we can't break the Yan State, Qi will definitely refuse to defend its borders to enhance its own strength. Because Yan and Qi were at loggerheads, the outcome of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu Can was unknown. This is my humble opinion, or it may be wrong. "
Han Xin said, "What do you think we should do?" Guang replied, "Today, it's best to stay where you are. People within 100 miles take out beef and wine every day to reward soldiers." The general arranged troops on the way to Yan in the north, and then sent an envoy to lobby Yan with a letter less than a foot. Yan must be afraid to listen. Then from Yan to the East and then to Qi, no matter how resourceful people are, they can't come up with a better plan for Qi. In this case, major events in the world can be drawn. Sun Tzu's Art of War says that it is the truth to be virtual first and then real. "Han Xin said," well, I sincerely thank you for your advice. Therefore, people were made to see Yan by using the tactics of guangwu, and Yan listened and went away by the wind. Then he sent messengers to report to Hanwang, asking for the appointment of Zhang Er as the king of Zhao to appease Zhao. Hanwang agreed to this request.
The Chu army repeatedly sent raiders across the Yellow River to attack Zhao. Zhang Er and Han Xin, King of Zhao, exchanged visits to save Zhao, pacified the cities of Zhao along the way, and sent troops to support Hanwang. At that time, Chu was eager to besiege Hanwang in Xingyang. Hanwang escaped from Xingyang, went south to find Wan and Ye, and found Wang from Jiujiang. Chu quickly besieged the elevation. In the fourth year of Emperor Gaozu, Hanwang escaped from the elevation, crossed the Yellow River and came to Xiuwu Zhang Er Barracks alone. Upon arrival, I stayed in the guest house. The next morning, Hanwang claimed to be the messenger of Hanwang and rode into the barracks. Before Zhang Er and Han Xin got up, Hanwang sneaked into the bedroom, took their seals, summoned the generals and changed their positions. Han Xin and Zhang Er got up, only to find Hanwang coming alone. When Hanwang seized the military power of Zhang Er and Han Xin, he immediately ordered to defend Zhao, worshipped Han Xin as prime minister, and recruited Zhao troops who stayed in Xingyang instead of going to Xingyang to attack Qi.
Han Xin led his troops eastward to attack the State of Qi. Before he crossed Peiping and Tianjin, he heard the messenger of Hanwang Shili say that Tian Guang, the king of Qi, had surrendered. Han Xin was ready to stop marching, and Kuai Tong lobbied Han Xin to persuade him to attack Qi. Han Xin followed Kuai Tong's advice, crossed the Yellow River, attacked the Qi army stationed in Lixia, and arrived at Lin Mao. The King of Qi fled to Gaomi and sent messengers to the State of Chu for help. After Han Xin captured Lintong, he pursued the King of Qi eastward to the west of Gaomi. The king of Chu sent a general, Long Qie, to lead 200,000 troops to save Qi.
Qi Weiwang and Long Qiong joined forces to attack Han Xin. Before the confrontation, someone said to Longche, "China soldiers are on a desperate expedition, and their potential is unstoppable. Qi and Chu fought on their own land, and the soldiers were easily dispersed. It's better to have a deep ditch and a high base, and let the king of Qi send his trusted ministers to appease the captured city. Once people in the city heard that the King of Qi was still alive, Chu sent troops for help, and they would certainly rebel against the Han army. The Han army lived in Qi from 2,000 miles away, and the people in all the cities of Qi rebelled, and food supply was bound to be lost. The Han army could surrender without fighting. "
Qi Long said, "I have known Han Xin for a long time. He is easy to deal with. He once asked his wandering mother for food and could not support himself; Being insulted and crawling out of other people's pants is not enough without the courage of ordinary people. Besides, I'm here to save the state of Qi and let the Han army surrender without fighting. What credit do I have? Now, if I win this battle, I can still get half of Qi's land. Why should I stop attacking? " So he decided to cross the Weihe River with Han.
Han Xin sent people to make more than 10,000 bags overnight, which were filled with sand and mud, blocked the rivers in the upper reaches of the Weihe River, and led half the troops across the Weihe River to attack Longpan. Han Xin pretended to be invincible and turned back. Long Qie said happily, "I knew Han Xin was born timid." So he led the troops across the Weihe River to pursue Han Xin. Han Xin sent someone to dig up the sandbags to keep the water out, and the water rushed in. More than half of Long Qie's troops stayed on the shore, unable to cross the river. Han Xin immediately attacked the Chu army crossing the river and killed Long Qie. Long Qie's troops were scattered on the east bank of Wei River, and Tian Guang, the king of Qi, fled on hearing the news. Han Xin pursued the Qi army until Chengyang and captured Tian Guang alive. The Chu army surrendered in succession and finally pacified the State of Qi.
Han Xin sent someone to see Hanwang, saying, "Qi is a treacherous and changeable country, and its south is adjacent to Chu. If you don't set up an agent to appease it, the situation will not be stable. At present, Qi has no king, and its power is too light to settle down. I ask to be the agent of Qi. " At that time, Chu was besieging Hanwang in Xingyang. When the envoy of Han Xin arrived, he delivered the letter. Hanwang was furious and reprimanded: "I am trapped here, hoping that he can help me day and night, but he wants to stand on his own feet!" " Sean and Chen Ping hid behind and stepped on Hanwang's foot. They leaned close to Hanwang's ear and whispered, "The Han army is at a disadvantage now. How can Han Xin be forbidden to stand on his own feet as king? Let's make him king, treat him well and keep him safe. Otherwise, there will be chaos. " Hanwang immediately understood, and then reprimanded: "A gentleman is the real king when he pacify his ministers. Why should he be the acting king? " So he sent Zhang Liang to make Han Xin king of Qi, and called Han Xin's army to attack Chu.
When Chu lost Long Pan, Wang Xiang was a little scared and sent Xu Tai to lobby Han Xin, saying, "Why didn't the general oppose the Han-Chu alliance? The king of Chu and the general have an ancient friendship. Besides, Hanwang may not be credible. His life was in the hands of Wang Xiang several times. However, once he escaped, he immediately abandoned the Covenant and attacked Wang Xiang. Not credible to this extent. Now the general thinks his friendship with Hanwang is rock solid, but he will arrest him eventually. You can live today because Xiang Wang is still here. If Wang Xiang dies, he will kill you next. Why don't you make peace with Chu and ask for the title of king and land? Now if you give up this opportunity, you must help Hanwang attack the king of Chu together. Can you do this as a smart person? "
Han Xin sternly declined to say, "I have served Xiang Wang for several years, but my official position is only a doctor and a bodyguard with halberd. He didn't listen to me, and his strategy was not adopted, so I left Chu for Han. Hanwang allowed me to go to general print, lead tens of thousands of people, take off his clothes and give me his food, so that I can have this position. People are so close to me and trust me. If I betray him, I won't have a good result. Please politely decline, Han Xin. " After Wu Yong left, Kuai Communication understood that Han Xin was the key to the world situation. He analyzed a third of the world and the king. Han Xin couldn't bear to betray Hanwang. He thought he had made great contributions. Hanwang won't come to seize his own state of Qi, so he won't listen to Kuai Tong's persuasion.
Hanwang adopted Sean's plan when Guling was defeated, and recruited Han Xin to join forces with Hanwang in Gai. After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu, unexpectedly seized the military power of Han Xin, changed Han Xin to King Chu, and made Pi his capital.
When Han Xin arrived in Chu, he summoned his wandering mother who gave him food and gave birth to a daughter. When it was the director's turn to go to the countryside, he was only rewarded with 100 yuan, saying, "You are a villain, you did good things, but you never finished what you started." He also summoned the young man who insulted himself, let him climb over his crotch, made him a lieutenant, and told his generals: "This man is a strong man. When he insulted me, I would rather not kill him; Because even if I killed him, I couldn't make a name for myself, so I endured it, and I didn't realize it until now. "
Mei Zhongli, a fugitive general from Wang Xiang, lives in Iru and has always maintained a good friendship with Han Xin. A defeated, and defected to Han Xin. Hanwang was very dissatisfied when he heard that Mei Zhongli was in Chu, so he ordered the king of Chu to seize Mei Zhongli. When Han Xingang arrived in Chu, he toured all the counties and cities and led troops in and out. Han Xin was accused of wanting to rebel, and the book of the report spread to Hanwang, who also felt that Han Xin was a hidden danger. So Chen Ping adopted his plan and pretended to cruise the cloud dream. In fact, he wanted to attack Han Xin, but Han Xin didn't know it.
When Gaozu was about to arrive in Chu, Han Xin planned to rebel, but he thought he was innocent. I want to see Hanwang, but I am afraid I will be arrested on the spot. Someone advised Han Xin to say, "If you kill Mei Zhongli to see Hanwang, Hanwang will be very happy and you won't be hurt." Han Xin discussed the matter with Mei Zhongli. Mei Zhongli said, "Hanwang didn't capture Chu because you still have Mei Zhongli. If you arrest me to flatter Hanwang, if I die today, you will die immediately. " And cursed Han Xin: "You are not a loyal elder!" Then he killed himself. Han Xin took his head to see Han Wang Chen. Gaozu really ordered the samurai to tie Han Xin up and put him in the back car. Han Xin said: "As someone said,' a sly rabbit dies, a good dog cooks and kills'." Hanwang said, "You are accused of rebellion." So he put Han Xin in the machinery factory. After returning to Luoyang, Han Xin was pardoned and renamed Huaiyin Hou.
Knowing that Hanwang was jealous of his talent, Han Xin refused to appear before him or follow him. Han Xin became more and more resentful and dissatisfied at home, and was ashamed of being in the same position as zhou bo and Guan Ying after Jiang. Han Xin once passed by the door of general Fan Kuai, and Fan Kuai bowed down to meet him, calling himself a vassal and saying, "I didn't know your majesty would come to the door of his vassal." After going out, Han Xin smiled and said to his subordinates: "I didn't expect to be with Fan Kuai in this life!"
Hanwang talked with Han Xin about the talents of generals when he was happy. Hanwang asked Han Xin, "If it were me, how many soldiers could I lead?" Han Xin said, "Your Majesty cannot exceed 100,000 at most." Hanwang said, "If it were you, how many soldiers could you lead?" Han Xin said, "If it were me, the more the better." Hanwang said with a smile, "Since the more you have, the better. Why are you caught by me?" Han Xin said, "Your Majesty will not lead troops, but he is good at controlling generals. This is why I, Han Xin, was caught by your Majesty. Besides, your majesty's power is given by heaven and cannot be achieved by manpower. "
Later, Chen Yi went to inspect the country on behalf of Guo Xiang and said goodbye to Han Xin. Han Xin took his hand and walked back and forth in the yard several times. He looked up and sighed and said, "Do you have anything to tell me? I have something to tell you. " Chen Yi went on to say, "Everything is subject to the general's orders." Han Xin said, "The place under your jurisdiction is the gathering place of elite soldiers in the world, and you are the favorite of your majesty's cronies. If someone says you are rebellious, your majesty will not believe you; If someone accuses you of rebellion again, your majesty will be suspicious; If someone informs on you for the third time, your majesty will be furious and personally lead the army to conquer you. If I work for you in North Korea, you can plan the world. " Chen Yi always knew Han Xin's talent, so he believed what he said: "I will definitely take your advice."
In the tenth year of Emperor Gaozu, Chen Si rebelled. Emperor gaozu personally led the army to conquer, but Han Xin refused to go. On the one hand, Han Xin secretly sent someone to contact Chen Si. On the other hand, he plotted with his retainer to prepare a false imperial edict to pardon criminals and slaves serving in the government at night. Then he sent his troops to attack Lv Hou and the prince. The deployment has been decided. While waiting for news from Chen Yi, the public guest of Han Xin has offended Han Xin, and Han Xin has imprisoned him and is ready to kill him. Gongdi wrote to Lv Hou, accusing Han Xin of rebellion. Lv Hou was going to call Han Xin, fearing that Han Xin's henchmen would not give in, so he conspired with Prime Minister Xiao He, pretending that someone had come back from the emperor, claiming that Chen Yi had been killed, and all the ministers went to the palace to congratulate him. Prime Minister Xiao He deceived Han Xin and said, "Although you are ill, go to North Korea to congratulate you." As soon as Han Xin entered the palace, Lv Hou ordered the samurai to tie up Han Xin and kill him in the bell room of Changle Palace. Han Xinlin said, "I didn't use Kuai Tong's trick at first, but now I'm cheated by women and boys. Isn't this an act of god! " So Lv Hou wiped out the three clans of Han Xin.
Emperor Gaozu returned to Beijing after putting down the rebellion in Chen Yi. When he heard the news of Han Xin's death, he was both happy and sad. He asked, "What did Han Xin say when he died?" Lv Hou told the great-grandfather what Han Xin said when he died. Gaozu said: "Kuai Tong is the eloquence of Qi." So a letter was issued to arrest Kuai Tong and prepare to cook and kill him. After Kuai Tong was arrested, he defended himself. Gao Zuyu just released Kuai Tong without killing him.
