Han Xin, a good minister, will not escape the poison after all. When his life collapses, who will be the real beneficiary?The powerful Liu Bang avoided future troubles;The traitor Xiao He swept away the thorn in his eye;Or are those soldiers who have lost their wise leaders?At this moment, Xiao He looked at Han Xin's body coldly, and said coldly, "The matter has come to this", with few words, but he said countless thoughts hidden behind this tragedy.
How can we assert that this is just a political game of recklessness for power?Or out of desperation, you have to choose self-protection?When the gears of fate begin to turn, who can predict the ups and downs?
Han Xin's death is not only the end of his personal fate, but also the end of many years of feud between him and Xiao He and Liu Bang. The relationship between them is not only a community of interests, but also a competition for power;There has been a sincere friendship, but also a hidden careerist's variant and suspicion. A combination of factors ultimately led to this tragedy.
Han Xin is a person with a lot of fate, and he has encountered a lot of ups and downs in the early days of his career, which has also cultivated the stubborn and stubborn side of his character.
When Han Xin was young, he was bullied by a landlord and forced to take off his pants and prostrate on the ground, and this humiliating experience became an indelible stigma in his heart. This incident also made him determined that he must make a difference in his career and wash away this shame.
At first, Han Xin chose to take refuge in Xiang Yu, the world's number one fierce general. He hopes to give full play to his talents under Xiang Yu and make great contributions. However, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Xiang Yu's style of doing things was too arrogant, and he didn't take Han Xin, the new strategist, into account. Xiang Yu only trusted his henchmen and veterans, and Han Xin's talent was not displayed, and he gradually became dissatisfied with Xiang Yu, the lord.
Later, under the recommendation of a mutual friend Xiao He, Han Xin switched to Liu Bang. At first, Liu Bang was still in the stage of the uprising, and he was weak and needed an excellent military strategist like Han Xin. Han Xin soon rose to prominence under Liu Bang, and he led the Jiujiang ** team to defeat the Qin army in the Battle of Slippery Terrace, and became famous in a battle.
After that, Han Xin successively defeated the Qin army in Dubu, Xingyang, Dingtao and other places, and made great achievements. He also established a deep friendship with Liu Bang and Xiao He during this period, and the three became Liu Bang's right-hand men thereafter.
It can be said that Han Xin's choice to join Liu Bang was the most correct decision in his life. In Liu Bang's place, his talents have been fully displayed, and he has made great contributions, and the stigma under Xiang Yu in his early years has been cleared.
In 206 BC, Liu Bang, with the help of Xiao He and other strategists, finally defeated Xiang Yu in the Battle of Qixia and unified China. The victory of this four-year Chu-Han War depended on the strong support of Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He. Among them, Han Xin, as a rare fierce general under Liu Bang, has made great contributions.
Liu Bang was weak at first and suffered many setbacks. Whenever he was in trouble, he relied on Han Xin to lead the army to break the siege and turn the danger into a disaster. In the Battle of Pengcheng in 204 BC, Liu Bang suffered a crushing defeat and was forced to flee on his own. At this time, Han Xin led an elite army to arrive and successfully rescued Liu Bang.
Two years later, Han Xin made great contributions in the important Battle of Qixia, and finally defeated Xiang Yu, which wiped out the stigma of Liu Bang's many defeats. It can be said that without Han Xin's outstanding military strategy and brave and combative troops, it would have been difficult for Liu Bang to defeat Xiang Yu and unify China.
After four years of baptism of war, Han Xin not only recovered his hometown of Jiujiang, but he himself also grew into a prince-level general who deterred the Quartet in the war. And his relationship with Liu Bang and Xiao He has also been sublimated in this life-and-death war with Xiang Yu.
After the war, Han Xin became one of Liu Bang's most prominent commanders. For his military prowess, he was also entitled to demand a higher reward. However, Liu Bang only named him the king of Chu, but did not satisfy his ambition to become emperor.
According to the "Historical Records: The Biography of Han Xin", Han Xin asked Liu Bang for the title of emperor many times, but was rejected each time. Liu Bang was narrow-minded and suspicious of the generals with high merit, for fear that they would have different intentions after expanding their power outside.
After the failure of the crown, Han Xin became dissatisfied with Liu Bang. Legend has it that he once made a proposal to Liu Bang together with Xiao He, suggesting that the princes and kings be divided to consolidate the unification situation. Liu Bang adopted their suggestion and divided Han Xin and other heroes into kings in order to consolidate local power.
However, Liu Bang's inner suspicion deepened. He suspected that Han Xin had secretly befriended the princes with different surnames and plotted rebellion. In 196 BC, Chen Feng rebelled against Qi State, and after Liu Bang killed Chen Feng, he became more vigilant against the king with a different surname around him. He gradually came up with the idea of purging the king with a different surname.
And Han Xin's expansion of power abroad also caused Liu Bang's dissatisfaction. According to the "Biography of Han Xin", Han Xin "appointed a full-time person and set up an official office to levy and distribute", which further intensified Liu Bang's vigilance against his power. The deepening contradictions between the two sides eventually led to the outbreak of tragedy.
After Liu Bang decided to kill Han Xin, the biggest problem he faced was that Han Xin had a heavy army, and it was difficult for him to directly confront him. At this time, his confidant Xiao He took the initiative to propose a plan to get rid of Han Xin when he came to the court.
According to historical records, Liu Bang was on the front line at that time, and those who stayed in Chang'an were Empress Lu and Xiao He. Xiao He then made a statement to Empress Lü, claiming that Han Xin, the king of Chu, had rebelled and should be killed immediately. He suggested that the design lure Han Xin into the palace and then get rid of it.
At first, Han Shin was skeptical about entering the palace. Because Xiao He suddenly invited him to Chang'an, it was a little strange. But in the end, under Xiao He's repeated persuasion, he still agreed to this action with a tentative mentality.
However, as soon as he entered the palace gate, Han Xin noticed something abnormal. I saw that the guards on the left and right were holding swords and were heavily guarded. Before Han Xin could react, the ambush soldiers attacked from all sides, surrounding him in the middle and stabbing him in the middle.
Han Shin is an experienced fierce general, and he has the ability to fight back. But because he was outnumbered, he soon collapsed in a pool of blood. In this way, a generation of famous generals Han Xin died young, and his bones were gone.
After witnessing Han Xin's killing, Xiao He watched coldly and said a very brief sentence - "The matter has come to this." Although these four words are plain, they express the helplessness and mood of the moment.
The relationship between Han Xin, Liu Bang and Xiao He has undergone dramatic changes, from the initial friendly cooperation to the later dismantling of suspicion.
At the beginning of Liu Bang's uprising, his strength was weak and he was in urgent need of talents. At this time, Xiao He recommended Han Xin to join Liu Bang to help Liu Bang grow his strength. The three also established a deep friendship and called each other brothers.
During the four years of hard fighting with Xiang Yu, the three worked closely together around a common goal, and the relationship became stronger and stronger. In particular, Han Xin, as the main battlefield general, made great contributions to Liu Bang's defeat of Xiang Yu. Liu Bang also praised him many times as his "arm help".
However, the good times were short-lived. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's desire for power swelled day by day. He began to be wary of the heroes around him, for fear that they would have different intentions after establishing their prestige outside. Gradually, friendships turn to suspicion and relationships break down.
Xiao He sided with Liu Bang and became his mastermind to get rid of the heroes with different surnames;Han Xin had a long-standing grudge and finally died in Huangquan. The three allies of the year ended up being inseparable enemies. This is a sad epitome of the power struggle.
When Xiao He looked at Han Xin's body and said, "The matter has come to this", the meaning of his words was quite complicated. On the one hand, it represents the spurning and revenge on Han Xin;On the other hand, there is also a sense of helplessness.
Han Xin's expansion of power and self-reliance have seriously touched the sensitive nerves of Liu Bang, the son of heaven. And Liu Bang's suspicious nature also exacerbated this sense of crisis. In order to protect oneself, getting rid of dissidents has also become a last resort.
Xiao He, as Liu Bang's confidant, was helplessly involved in this power struggle. He also believes that Han Shin has posed a substantial threat and must be eliminated quickly. Although the two used to be close friends, the national righteousness has taken precedence over this personal relationship.
At this point, we can only calculate what we can do. Xiao He set up a trick and finally put Han Xin to death. When he watched his old friend's life pass away, he couldn't help but feel sorry. The words "the matter has come to this" not only have the element of helplessness, but also the contempt and resistance to Han Xin's actions.
Han Shin's death was a tragedy. We should not simply judge the right and wrong of the parties involved in the incident, but should analyze the various dilemmas in depth.
Liu Bang needs the strength of the heroes to seize the world, and he is afraid that they will become a threat in the future;Han Shin wants to seek higher power to fill the imbalance in his heart;And Xiao He, as Liu Bang's confidant, also faces a dilemma between loyalty and friendship.
The relationship between them is a community of interests and a microcosm of the relationship of power competition. In the end, their respective choices led to this tragedy that harmed others and themselves. But there are also hidden dilemmas that cannot be decided.
This is the end of it", which is not just a simple summary of the ending. We need to use this historical case to reflect on the dilemmas behind the power struggle. Perhaps it is precisely because of these irreconcilable contradictions that this tragedy broke out.
