Chapter 47 Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He

When Liu Ruyi was promoted to King Zhao, Liu Bang made another concubine Liu Heng the acting king. If Liu Ying was not liked because she was not like Liu Bang, then Liu Heng was even less liked by Liu Bang. Liu Heng's mother Bo

Ji was unknown and was not favored by Liu Bang. Although Liu Heng was kind and kind, he was as unknown as his mother Bo Ji. It was as if he and his son were not in the palace. When Liu Heng was young, Chen Xi temporarily went to Daijun to manage Liu Heng.

Chen Xi was a native of Wanqu (now southwest of Heze County, Shandong Province). He was brave but not resourceful. This Chen Xi had always admired Han Xin. Before going to Dai 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 did this because he was afraid that Liu Bang would be jealous of his talent. However, this made the court more resentful of him. Han Xin relied on his talent and was arrogant, and did not care about the courtiers.

What do you think of him? During the days when he was sick at home, only two people came to visit him. The first one was Fan Kuai, and the second one was Chen Xi.

Han Xin, who was once all-powerful and powerful in the world, now had to stay at home due to illness, with no entertainment and no friends to visit, so he was naturally extremely depressed and miserable. When he thought of a friend, he would come. Just when Han Xin was depressed and in pain, Chen Xi came to visit.

What a joy it is to have friends from far away!

When Chen Xi came, Han Xin was of course happy. He took Chen Xi's hand and walked in the courtyard, going round and round. As he walked, Han Xin looked up to the sky and sighed, sighing again, and finally said: "Come and 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 gives an order, he must obey it."

Han Xin is a genius as a general, and it is difficult to express my admiration for a man as powerful as Fan Kuai, who after marrying Lv Zhi's sister, said "King" first and "King" second to him. Han Xin wants to tell the truth, Chen

Xi was naturally very happy.

"The place you are going to is 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 someone accuses you, the emperor will not believe it.

, The emperor will definitely be angry, and he will go to war personally. Once 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. Even in this regard, he believes in Han Xin more than he believes in himself. If he can do great things with such a great general, even if he fails, he will fail violently and even die.

He was so angry that he died. Chen Xi convinced Han Xin, risked his life, and prepared for a big fight.

So, when Chen Xi arrived in Dai County, he immediately recruited guests and vigorously cultivated his influence. Chen Xi admired the ancient style and made friends with the guests in his family. Therefore, there were many guests in his family, and the official house was full.

, were accompanied by thousands of guests. Chen Xi’s every move involved thousands of retainers, which made people frightened.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Chang wrote to Liu Bang saying that Chen Xi had too many retainers and was leading troops 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. Chen Xi at this time

Someone has been sent to secretly collude with Wang Huang and Man

Qiu Chen and others planned 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 was upright and bold, 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 the crown prince Liu Ying to conquer them.

The prince's personal expedition is not as simple as it seems. Sihao from Shangshan, 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 leads troops to conquer, and he will inherit the throne."

The throne is not of much benefit. If it fails, it will leave a source of gossip and hinder the succession of the throne. Moreover, the young and weak queen

The prince went with the founding heroes. Those founding heroes were all brave generals who followed the emperor to conquer the world. They were so arrogant that letting the prince lead them was not driving sheep into the tiger's mouth. Those veteran generals must not be willing to listen to the prince's orders and would be useless in fighting.

Soldiers and generals must be in vain. We heard that if the mother is favored, the child will be loved by the father. Qi Ji Ri

Accompanying the emperor day and night, King Zhao will see the emperor every day. The emperor will definitely say, "I will never let an incompetent person be placed above the child I love." Then King Zhao will be established as the prince. You

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 the soldiers led by the prince are all you."

I am afraid that they will not listen to my old subordinates. If Chen Xi hears about this, he will rush westward and take Chang'an. Although you are not feeling well, cheer up and sit in the car. Someone will take care of you even if you lie down.

, you are the commander of the expedition, who among those generals dares to refuse 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 to war, so he deposed Liu Ying at random and made Liu Ruyi the crown prince. However, Sihao of Shangshan had already seen through it and used this trick on Lu Pheasant. It seems that Liu Bang still has to control him.

Personal expedition.

Lu Pheasant cried to Liu Bang, cried, made trouble, and hanged himself. Just as the four of them expected, and as Han Xin expected, Liu Bang personally went to war. I am the one who conquers the world, and I am the one who guards the world. How about Liu Bang?

He was feeling depressed. He was really tired and exhausted.

In the winter of the eleventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (196 BC), Liu Bang personally conquered Chen Xi and sent all his officials to Bashang. Liu Bang started fighting in Pei County and started fighting in all directions. He was young at that time, so it didn't matter much; however, every time he got older,

, his body is getting worse day by day. After fighting for most of his life, he finally conquered the world, but Liu Bang still wants to fight again. It is difficult to conquer the world, but it is even harder to defend the world.

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 people to Chen Xi, and planned with his retainers how to pretend to amnesty criminals and slaves, and take the opportunity to send troops to attack Lu Pheasant and the prince, seize Chang'an in one fell swoop, and dominate the world. Han Xin

Everything was arranged properly, 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 when he saw that Chen Xi did not defend Handan but garrisoned Zhangshui, thinking that Chen Xi's death was not far away. Liu Bang attacked Chen Xi, and Lu Wan also

He 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 and was arrested and imprisoned. He was about to be executed. Luan Shuo had a younger brother,

Tell Lu all about Han Xin's plot

Pheasant. Lu Pheasant wanted to directly recruit Han Xin into the palace to kill him, but he was also worried about Liu Bang's absence. Han Xin refused to accept the edict, so he recruited Xiao He to conspire. Han Xin claimed to be ill, and the tyrannical Lu Pheasant was so afraid. This shows that Han Xin's power is intimidating.

Scary, yet 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 congratulate him. Xiao He came to see Han Xin and said, "Although you are not feeling well, you still have to go to congratulate and explain such a big happy event."

The court is suspicious of you." Han Xin didn't know the truth and didn't know the truth. He took this opportunity to go to the palace to 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 fell, and in the blink of an eye, Han Xin died in the Bell Room of Changle Palace. It turned out that Liu Bang hadn'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 court.

Ask and chop.

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 was 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, and as a result, the woman died today. Isn't it God's will?"

For most celebrities, their last words always have some 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.

I'm happy and sad at the same time, it's 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 suffering the woman's plot. 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 the gods to send ghosts. Kuai Tong seemed to have predicted that he would be implicated in Han Xin's death. But Kuai Tong was a lobbying advocate.

, his eloquence is not hindered, of course he also has to acquit himself.

"Why did you teach Han Xin to rebel?" Liu Bang asked bitterly.

Kuai Tong did not pretend to be crazy, and said word for word: "When I persuaded Han Xin, I only knew Han Xin, but 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 was reasonable, 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.
