After Liu Ruyi was promoted to King Zhao, Liu Bang named another concubine Liu Heng as acting king. If Liu Ying is not liked because she is not like Liu Bang, then Liu Heng is even less liked by Liu Bang. Liu Heng's mother Bo Ji was unknown and not favored by Liu Bang. Although Liu Heng is kind and kind, he is as unknown as his mother Bo Ji. With his mother and son in the palace, it was as if they didn't exist at all. When Liu Heng was young, Chen Xi temporarily went to Dai County to manage Liu Heng's affairs.
Chen Xi was from Wanqu (now southwest of Heze County, Shandong Province). He was brave but not resourceful. This Chen Xiping always admired Han Xin. Before going to Daiguo to take office, he wondered if he would have a chance to return to Chang'an to say goodbye to Han Xin.
Over the years, Han Xin has always said that he is ill and cannot go to court. Han Xin took this move because he was afraid that Liu Bang would be jealous of his talent. However, this made the court more resentful of him. Han Xin was proud of his talent and did not care what the courtiers thought of him. He said that during the days when he was ill at home, only two people came to visit him. The first was Fan Kuai, and the second was Chen Xi.
Han Xin, who was once an all-powerful man and had great power in the world, was now forced to stay at home due to illness, with no entertainment or friends to visit, so he was naturally extremely depressed and miserable. When you think of a close friend, a close friend will arrive. When Han Xin was depressed and miserable, Chen Xi came to visit.
Have friends come from afar!
Of course Han Xin was happy when Chen Xi came. He took Chen Xi's hand and walked leisurely in the courtyard, walking around and around. Han Xin looked up to the sky and lamented as he walked, sighing again and again, and finally said: "You came to see me, but are you someone who can tell the truth? I have a lot to say to you."
Seeing Han Xin being so frank, Chen Xi was flattered and immediately replied: "When the general issues an order, he must obey his order."
Han Xin was a genius as a general, and Fan Kuai, a man as powerful as him, could not express his admiration for him even after marrying Lv Zhi's sister. Han Xin wanted to tell the truth, and Chen Xi was naturally very happy.
"You are going to a place where the best soldiers from all over the world are deployed, and you are a person whom the emperor loves and trusts very much. The first time someone accuses you of rebellion, the emperor will not believe it; the second time someone accuses you, the emperor will become suspicious; and the third time , the emperor will definitely be angry, and he will go to war personally. As soon as the emperor leaves, I will start an uprising in Guanzhong, and you will support me from outside, and the world will be ours."
Chen Xi has no doubt about Han Xin's ability, and even in this regard, he believes in Han Xin more than he believes in himself. If you can do great things with such a peerless general, even if you fail, you will fail with great joy, and even if you die, you will die with a lot of energy. Chen Kui convinced Han Xin, risked his life, and prepared to fight.
So, when Chen Xi arrived in Daijun, he immediately recruited guests and vigorously cultivated his power. Chen Xi admired the style of the ancients and made friends with the common people at his door. Therefore, he had many guests and the official house was full. As soon as you enter and exit, there are thousands of guests accompanying you. Chen Xi's every move involves thousands of retainers, which makes people afraid.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Chang wrote to Liu Bang saying that Chen Xi had too many retainers and was leading troops outside to prevent him from rebelling. Liu Bang sent people to check the resumes of Chen Xi's retainers and found that most of them had criminal records. At this time, Chen Xi had already sent people to secretly collude with Wang Huang, Manqiuchen and others to plot a rebellion. Before the rebellion was launched, the emperor already knew the information. Han Xin immediately ordered Wang Huang to persuade Chen Xi to proclaim himself the acting king, and immediately attacked Zhao and seized the base. Since Zhou Chang is upright and outspoken, Chen Xi should let him suffer the pain of informing.
The State of Zhao had Liu Bang's beloved son Liu Ruyi and the outspoken Zhou Chang. Liu Bang was furious and ordered Prince Liu Ying to conquer them.
The prince's personal conquest is not as simple as it seems. Shangshan Sihao, who came to protect the prince, strongly opposed it. They believed that it would be dangerous if the prince led troops to conquer. They said to Lu Ze: "The prince leading troops to conquer the country will not be of much benefit to him in inheriting the throne. If he fails to achieve success, he will have something to say and hinder his succession to the throne. Besides, letting the young and weak prince go with the founding heroes, those founding heroes. But all of them are brave generals who follow the emperor to conquer the world. They are so arrogant that letting the prince lead them is not driving sheep into the tiger's mouth. Those veteran generals must not be willing to listen to the prince's orders. Fighting without soldiers will definitely be in vain. We heard that , if the mother is favored, the child will be loved by the father. Qi Ji will accompany the emperor day and night, and when King Zhao sees the emperor every day, the emperor will definitely say, "I will never let an incompetent person take the place of the child I love." Above', King Zhao will be made the crown prince by then. Quickly ask Empress Lu to cry to the emperor while Qi Ji is away, saying, 'Chen Xi is a fierce general in the world and is good at using troops. Now all the soldiers led by the prince are you. I'm afraid they won't listen to your orders. If Chen Xi hears about this, he will attack westward and take Chang'an with all his strength. Although you are not feeling well, cheer up and sit in the car. Someone will take care of you even when you are lying down. , you are the commander of the expedition, who among those generals dare not to die. I know it is very hard, but for the sake of our mother and son, you go ahead."
Liu Bang wanted to use the crown prince to go on an expedition, so he found a way to depose Liu Ying and make Liu Ruyi the crown prince. However, Shangshan Sihao had already seen through it and used this trick on Lu Pheasant. It seemed that Liu Bang still had to control him. Personal expedition.
Lu Pheasant cried to Liu Bang, cried, made trouble, and hanged himself. As the four people expected, and as Han Xin expected, Liu Bang went to the army to fight in person. I am the one who conquers the world, and I am the one who protects the world. Liu Bang is so depressed, he is really tired, and his heart is so tired.
In the winter of the eleventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (196 BC), Liu Bang personally conquered Chen Xi, and the ministers were sent to Bashang. Liu Bang started his army in Peixian County and started to fight in all directions. It didn't matter that he was young at that time. However, with every year he got older, his health became worse day by day. After fighting for most of his life, he finally conquered the world, but Liu Bang still wanted to fight again. It is difficult to conquer the world, but even harder to defend it.
Liu Bang went out to fight in person, but Han Xin pretended to be ill and did not follow him. As soon as Liu Bang left, Han Xin secretly sent someone to Chen Xi's place, and planned with his retainers how to pretend to amnesty criminals and slaves, and take the opportunity to send troops to attack Lu Fei and the prince, seize Chang'an in one fell swoop, and dominate the world. Han Xin arranged everything properly and was just waiting for news from Chen Xi.
"God is really helping me!" This was Liu Bang's mood after arriving in Handan. He was very happy to see that Chen Xi was stationed at Zhangshui instead of Handan, thinking that Chen Xi's death was not far away. Liu Bang attacked Chen Xi, and Lu Wan also tried his best to show his loyalty and attacked Chen Xi from the northeast. Chen Xi was defeated and sent people to ask for help from the Xiongnu. Lu Wan also sent Zhang Sheng to persuade the Xiongnu not to help Chen Xi, but Zhang Sheng turned Lu Wan into a rebel.
Han Xin had been waiting for news about Chen Xi for a long time, but a traitor arrived. At the time of the important event, a member of Han Xin's family named Luan Shuo offended Han Xin, was arrested and imprisoned, and was about to be executed. Luan said that he had a younger brother who told Lu Pheasant all about Han Xin's plot. Lu Pheasant wanted to directly recruit Han Xin into the palace to kill him, but he was worried that Liu Bang was away. Han Xin refused to accept the edict, so he recruited Xiao He to plot. Han Xin complained about his illness, and even the tyrannical Lu Pheasant was so afraid. This shows that Han Xin is a powerful person who is both fearful and admirable.
Suddenly, there was a big news in the palace that Liu Bang was back and Chen Xi was dead. All the courtiers went to the court to pay their respects. Xiao He came to see Han Xin and said, "Although you are not feeling well, you still want to go to congratulate such a happy event and dispel the court's suspicions about you." Han Xin did not know the truth and took this opportunity to go to the palace. Find out the truth.
The so-called "Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He" comes from this. Han Xin trusted this old friend too much. As a result, as soon as he entered the court, a group of warriors jumped out and tied him up neatly. Lu Pheasant Ordered to be beheaded immediately. The executioner immediately raised his knife and dropped it. In an instant, Han Xin died in the bell chamber of Changle Palace. It turns out that Liu Bang hasn't come back yet, and everything was Xiao He's idea: he falsely claimed that Chen Xi was executed, and when Liu Bang came back, he announced that Han Xin had entered the dynasty, and he was immediately executed.
The idiom "Success is due to Xiao He, failure is also due to Xiao He" was spread in later generations. It originally meant that Han Xin's life and death were all thanks to Xiao He, and later it meant that something related to success or failure.
Before Han Xin died, he left a message, saying: "I didn't listen to Kuai Tong's plan at the beginning, which led to the death of the woman today. Isn't it God's will?"
For most celebrities, their last words will always have a little impact on history, and Han Xin's is no exception. Han Xin mentioned Kuai Tong in his words, and he was implicated. It turned out that when Liu Bang returned from defeating Chen Xi, he heard that Han Xin was dead. He was happy and sad at the same time. It was really a mixture of emotions.
"What did Han Xin say when he died?" Liu Bang asked Lu Pheasant.
"What's there to say? He said he regretted not using Kuai Tong's plan and ended up being tricked by the woman. Isn't it God's will?"
Liu Bang was furious, saying that Kuai Tong dared to teach people to rebel, and immediately ordered Kuai Tong to be arrested and served with hot water.
Kuai Tong persuaded Han Xin to rebel, but Han Xin refused to listen. He was afraid of being punished, so he pretended to be crazy and stupid, and instead asked gods to send ghosts. Kuai Tong seems to have predicted that he would be implicated in Han Xin's death. But Kuai Tong was a lobbying debater, and his eloquence was unimpeded. Of course, he had to exonerate himself.
"Why did you teach Han Xin to rebel?" Liu Bang asked bitterly.
Kuai Tong did not pretend to be crazy, and said word by word: "When I persuaded Han Xin, I only knew Han Xin, and I didn't know you Liu Bang. The Qin State was unruly and lost the world. The world is like a big piece of fat. Everyone is You can rob. Who doesn’t want to be the emperor? What you did today? It’s just that you are not capable. Can you kill all these people?”
After Liu Bang heard this, he felt that what he said made sense, so he let Kuai Tong go.
Kuai Tong was so eloquent that he calmed down the angry Liu Bang with a few words. Kuai Tong served Han Xin for more than a day, and he reasoned with Han Xin more than once, but Han Xin just didn't understand. This is the difference between people. Han Xin had such an adviser and did not use it, so he was killed as a woman. It is sad and lamentable!
