Video Clip: Opening Inventory of the Ten Emperors

Chapter 166 Bing Xian Han Xin, what dazzling record does he have?
Is Han Xin good?
Of course great.

In the Chu-Han War, no one knows what the original outcome was.

However, Han Xin is that uncertain factor.

Han Xin used his outstanding military talents to pacify the state of Wei in one fell swoop, and then defeated Dai and Zhao in a last-ditch fight.

After that, Han Xin went north and surrendered Yan.

In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin was worshiped as the prime minister, led his troops to attack Qi, captured Linzi, and led the 20 Chu troops who aided Qi to wipe out Longqie in Weishui.

Therefore, Liu Bang made Han Xin the king of Qi, and in October of the following year, he ordered Han Xin to join forces in Gaixia, encircle and wipe out the Chu army, and forced Xiang Yu to slay himself.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, he was relieved of military power and relocated to the king of Chu.

He was accused of treason and demoted to Marquis of Huaiyin.

Empress Lu conspired with Xiangguo Xiao He to trick him into Changle Palace, behead him in the bell room, and Yiqi's three clans.

Han Xin is a representative of the "seeking war" faction in the history of Chinese military thought.

Han Xin was also hailed by Xiao He as "the unparalleled scholar of the country".

Liu Bang commented: "The battle must be won, and the attack must be captured. I am not as good as Han Xin."

Because Han Xin was too powerful, he was regarded as "Soldier Immortal" and "God of War" by later generations.

"Prince and general" Han Xin is in full charge.

"The national scholar is unparalleled", "the meritorious service is unparalleled, and he is not born in the world" are people's evaluations of him during the Chu and Han Dynasties.

Han Xin led the army out of Chencang, established the Three Qin Dynasty, captured Wei, broke the dynasty, destroyed Zhao, surrendered Yan, and defeated Qi, until Gaixia completely wiped out the Chu army. He and Zhang Liang organized war books, and wrote three articles on the art of war.

…………

"What? It turns out that the reason why Xiang Yu failed was because of Han Xin?"

"Miscalculation, what a miscalculation."

"At the beginning, I just thought that Han Xin was a rare talent, and that's all, I didn't expect it!"

"Speaking of which, my vision is too short-sighted. If I can reuse Han Xin like Liu Bang, then..."

Xiang Yu smiled wryly.

Unexpectedly, really unexpected.

What was Han Xin's reputation in Xiangying before?
Besides him, Xiang Yu, who else can afford it?
Most people in Xiang Ying think that Han Xin is a person who can only talk big words and can't do practical things.

The results of it?
Reality slapped them hard.

"Destiny, this is fate."

"The reason why I, Xiang Yu, was defeated was due to timing and fate."

Xiang Yu shook his head and sighed.

Is he wrong?

He was right.

Then why can't he succeed.

He didn't know either.

Maybe this is the choice of fate.

For a moment, Xiang Yu seemed to be a few years older.

This feeling of being spoiled seems... quite uncomfortable.

…………

"Han Xin? His title in later generations is Bingxian? How did later generations praise him so much?"

Seeing this, Lu Zhi felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, Han Xin was killed by her scheme.

If Han Xin found out, how would he feel.

Will he rebel?
"No...he didn't dare."

"This world will eventually be ruled by the king in the future. No matter how powerful Han Xin is, he is nothing more than a military officer."

"He can't control his own destiny."

"If he dares to rebel, he will die without a place to bury him. Besides, even if he doesn't rebel, he can't be allowed to live!"

…………

The video above the sky continues to play.

The reason why Han Xin is called Bingxian is because of his war strategy on the one hand, and the Han Dynasty established because of his victories on the other hand.

His god of using soldiers and his way of using soldiers are hard to compare with him in the entire Chinese military circle.

Without Han Xin, Liu Bang could not win the world.

Is this an exaggeration?Not exaggerating at all.

It can be said that Han Xin is a very important piece of the puzzle for Liu Bang to win the world.

Liu Bang gave Han Xin the opportunity to show himself and make contributions, while Han Xin contributed his strength and proved his worth.

If Han Xin is not worthy of attention, then Zhang Liang would not suggest that Liu Bang make Han Xin King of Qi.

Since Han Xin is called Bingxian.

First of all, let's take a look at Han Xin's order of troops.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were uprisings everywhere.

After the Tyrant Qin was destroyed, Chu and Han fought against each other.

Once, Han Xin fought more than 1000 soldiers with General Li Feng of the King of Chu.

After a hard battle, the Chu army was defeated and retreated to the camp. The Han army also lost 500 people, so Han Xin reorganized his troops and returned to the base camp.

When the army reached a hillside, suddenly a rear army came to report that there were cavalry from the Chu army chasing them.

I saw dust flying in the distance, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The Han army was already very exhausted, but at this moment there was an uproar in the ranks.

When Han Xin's soldiers and horses reached the top of the slope, seeing that the enemy was less than [-] cavalry, he hurriedly mobilized his troops to meet the enemy.

He ordered the soldiers to form a row of three, and there were two more.

Then he ordered the soldiers to form a row of five, but there were three more.

He ordered the soldiers to form a row of seven, and there were two more.

Han Xin immediately announced to the soldiers: Our army has more than 1000 warriors, and the enemy is only less than [-].

We are condescending, occupy a favorable position, and we have a large number of people, and we can definitely defeat the enemy.

The Han army had always believed in their commander-in-chief, but once encouraged by Han Xin, they believed in Han Xin even more.

Encouraged by Han Xin, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted.

All of a sudden, the flags were shaking and the drums were beating loudly.

The Han army advanced step by step, fearless of life and death, but the Chu army was intimidated by the momentum of the Han army, and suddenly became a mess.

Not long after the two sides fought, due to the huge gap in momentum, the Chu army was defeated and fled.

Where is Han Xinshen?

He led more than 1000 soldiers to fight, and 500 died in battle. They stood in a row of three, with two extra, in a row of five, with three extra, and in a row of seven, with two extra.

In such a chaotic situation on the battlefield, Han Xin can still maintain such a clear mind, and can immediately tell the exact number of troops left. With this level of calm, few people can do it.

This is the famous Han Xin ordering soldiers.

Mao Kun, a famous bibliophile and essayist in the Ming Dynasty, referred to Sima Qian, Li Bai, Qu Yuan, Liu Ling, and Han Xin as "Wen Xian", "Poem Xian", "Ci Fu Xian", "Jiu Xian" and "Soldier Xian" in his articles.

Looking at the context, we can see that Mao Kun used the word "immortal" to describe the most outstanding person in a certain field.

Mao Kun believes that although Han Xin's art of war has been lost, his military achievements can be seen in historical materials. His military achievements "all come from the sky, but he has never fought bloody battles with the enemy", so he can be called "Soldier Immortal".

The name of "Soldier Immortal" and "the best of ancient military strategists" are the words of Mao Kun's family, not the universally recognized conclusions, so let's just listen to them.

However, Han Xin's military capabilities are indeed extraordinary. In order to avoid the disadvantages of Guan Gong's battle with Qin Qiong, we do not compare the capabilities of Han Xin with Bai Qi, Li Shimin and other famous generals vertically, but only horizontally compare Han Xin with his contemporaries Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Chen Yu , Long Qi and other famous generals have the ability to know that Han Xin is not very powerful.

First, Han Xin's record against Xiang Yu is that he won in one battle.

In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, led his generals to besiege the overlord Xiang Yu at Gaixia.

At that time, the strength of Liu Bang and the princes and kings was several times that of Xiang Yu, but only Han Xin led his army to block the front of Xiang Yu's army. General Chai and others led a small number of troops on the two wings of Xiang Yu's army. Behind Xiang Yujun.

Such a situation, of course, was not Liu Bang's intention, but Xiang Yu's intention to return to the east. Liu Bang chased and fought behind Xiang Yu's army. Han Xin and others came from all directions according to the order, and finally surrounded Xiang Yu. You can only face head-to-head with Han Xinjun who is directly in front of you.

On the head-to-head battlefield, Xiang Yu was never afraid of anyone.

In Julu back then, Xiang Yu wiped out all the Qin army led by Qin general Wang Li by head-to-head.

Back then when Qi was attacked, Xiang Yu forced Qi Wang Tianrong to death by head-to-head.

Back then in Pengcheng, Xiang Yu chased and killed Liu Bang, the king of Han, who succeeded in "stealing the tower" by head-to-head.

Before the Battle of Gaixia, only Han Wang Liu Bang and Liang Wang Peng Yue gave Xiang Yu a headache, because only these two people were unwilling to confront Xiang Yu head-on.

Either shrink up like Liu Bang and fight for consumption with Xiang Yu, or fight a guerrilla with Xiang Yu like Peng Yue.

In other words, Liu Bang and Peng Yue only had a way to make Xiang Yu unable to win, but there was no way to defeat Xiang Yu.

He Shengliang was born Yu Yu, Xiang Yu was born, and Han Xin was born.

To some extent, Han Xin is Xiang Yu's nemesis.

Xiang Yu attacked Han Xin head-to-head. Han Xin pretended to be defeated at first, and Xiang Yu directly covered and killed him. General Chai and other troops lying on the flanks of Xiang Yu's army attacked Xiang Yu fiercely. He came to chase and kill Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu was finally defeated by Gaixia.

In just one battle, Han Xin proved to the world that his military talent is not inferior to Xiang Yu at all.

Xiang Yu could make a comeback with Wang Li, Zhang Han, and Liu Bang, but he couldn't complete a comeback with Han Xin.

Second, Han Xin also won a battle against Longqi.

Long Qi is Xiang Yu's chief Sima.

Da Sima of Chu State is equivalent to the Taiwei of other countries, and is the highest military officer of Chu State.

To be able to achieve the position of Da Sima, one must have ability, prestige and qualifications, and at the same time have a relatively close relationship with Xiang Yu.

Therefore, Long Qi's ability to take the position of Da Sima shows that he is capable.

When Xiang Liang was still alive, Long Qi was already Sima.

Being able to stand strong from Xiang Liang's era to the end of Xiang Yu's period shows that his military capabilities should be very strong.

However, it was such a capable person who was easily defeated by Han Xin in a war where high hopes were placed, and finally died on the battlefield.

In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin disregarded the alliance between the Han envoy Li Shiqi and the Qi State, and arbitrarily sent troops to attack Qi State, which had already proclaimed a vassal to the Han.

The Qi army was defeated by Han Xin, and the king of Qi killed Li Shiqi, and then began to flee and ask for help. Qi State asked Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu sent Da Sima Longqie to lead his army to help Qi State.

The number of soldiers and horses led by Long Qie is unknown, it is said to be 20, and Han Xin had not yet conquered Qi State at that time, and the undercurrent of Qi State was raging, Liu Bang sent reinforcements to Han Xin

But because Liu Bang still had to withstand Xiang Yu's attack, there were not many reinforcements sent to Han Xin, and the situation was very unfavorable to Han Xin.

So Long Qi said arrogantly, "I have known Han Xin as a human being, and he is easy to hear".

It is true that Long Qi will pay the price for the big words he said.

Before Long Qi could finish his sentence, he jumped into the pocket Han Xin had made for him.

Han Xin led his army across the river and took the initiative to meet Long Qie. After crossing the river, he fought against Long Qie. He was unfavorable and retreated.

Why did the river surge when Longqie was crossing the river?

Because Han Xin had ambushed sandbags in the upper reaches of the river in advance, and blocked part of the river water. After calculating the time, when Longqie's troops crossed the river, the soldiers ambushed upstream and removed the sandbags. With the river flooding.

Han Xin gave full play to his subjective initiative, controlled the ups and downs of the river, and used the river to help him deal with the enemy.

Using the power of nature to deal with the enemy, this kind of operation is indeed a bit like the actions of gods.

This battle made Xiang Yu lose his ambition to compete with Liu Bang for the world by himself.

After the war, Xiang Yu took the initiative to send envoys to see Han Xin, and asked Han Xin, who had once been a stickler for him, to stand by his side and be as lonely as himself.

Third, Han Xin fought against Chen Yu, destroying a country in one battle.

Chen Yu, Zhang Er's student and friend, was once Zhang Er's close friend, and his ability is far above Zhang Er.

And Zhang Er is Liu Bang's in-laws. Princess Lu Yuan, the eldest daughter of Liu Bang, married Zhang Ao, Zhang Er's direct son. As early as when Xiang Yu split the world, when Liu Bang was sealed in Bashu by Xiang Yu, Zhang Er was sealed by Xiang Yu Zhao land.

Counting forward, Zhang Er and Chen Yuzao took the initiative to join Chen Sheng when Chen Sheng arrived in Chendi, and were once reused by Chen Sheng.

Later, Chen Yu invited troops to pacify the land of Zhao, but Chen Sheng refused, but he also let Zhang Er and Chen Yu go northward with the general Wu Chen who he appointed to Beiding Zhao land. As the king of Zhao, Chen Yu was worshiped as a general by the military officials.

Chen Yu can become a general, while Zhang Er can only be one of the two prime ministers. This fact already shows that Chen Yu's ability is far superior to Zhang Er's when it comes to fighting.

Later, during the Battle of Julu, Zhang Er was trapped in Julu. Chen Yu supported tens of thousands of soldiers, unwilling to die with Zhang Er with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, and was hated by Zhang Er. After Xiang Yu rescued Julu, Zhang Er Seizing Chen Yu's military power, Chen Yu did not go to Xianyang because of this, and in the end he was not able to be crowned king by Xiang Yu like Zhang Er. Er also welcomed back the former King Xie of Zhao. So far, Chen Yu has monopolized the power of Zhao State.

After Han Wang Liu Bang experienced the defeat of Pengcheng, he decided to adopt a war of attrition against Xiang Yu and an annihilation war against other princes.

Han Xin and Zhang Er, who took refuge under Liu Bang's command, were sent to attack Zhao Guo. Because Liu Bang had limited troops at the time and had to carry Xiang Yu's onslaught, Liu Bang could only distribute tens of thousands of troops to Han Xin, and Han Xin led tens of thousands to be exhausted. The army of the army rushed thousands of miles, and cooperated with other troops sent by Liu Bang to destroy Zhao Guo in one battle. This is the famous last stand in the history of Chinese military affairs.

At that time, Chen Yu had 20 soldiers. According to "Sun Tzu's Art of War", with so many troops, Chen Yu could completely confront Han Xin head-on and win in the end.

Of course, Han Xin, who is familiar with "The Art of War" also understands this truth, so Han Xin used the extremely abstract concepts in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" "to be trapped in a dead place, then to live in a dead place, to survive" and "to drive people from the city to fight". Out of last stand.

The specific operation of the last stand is to put one's own team to death while ambush a group of light cavalry, taking advantage of the time when Chen Yu is coming out of the nest. Inserting into Chen Yu's barracks and replacing Chen Yu's banner, Chen Yu's soldiers finally fell into despair when the battle was unfavorable.

Compared with Xiang Yu's "Last Stand", the Last Stand is more subjective and extremely sophisticated calculations. If it is said that the Last Stand is a matter of luck, the Last Stand is big data computing, with a success rate of nearly 100%.

Isn't Han Xin, who can creatively come up with a last stand, not good enough?Can't be called a fairy?
If you compare Han Xin with his contemporaries, there have been some battles.

Like Xiang Yu, Long Qi, Chen Yu and others, Han Xin was victorious.

For those who have never fought against each other, such as Liu Bang, Peng Yue, Yingbo, etc., Liu Bang himself admitted that he was inferior to Han Xin as Chen Ping, and Yingbo also admitted in front of his subordinates that he was afraid of Liu Bang, Han Xin, and Peng Yue. Peng Yue is not as capable as Liu Bang, and Liu Bang is not as good as Han Xin, so of course Peng Yue is not as good as Han Xin.

Han Xin is more powerful than all the famous generals of the same era, this is what makes Han Xin so powerful.

There is a reason why he can be called a soldier fairy.

It is by no means invented.
