A Brief Comment on Han Xin, the Character in Zi Tong Zhi Jian
Han Xin, a founding hero and strategist in the Western Han Dynasty, was one of Liu Bang's three outstanding men. During the turmoil at the end of Qin Dynasty, he defected to Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, but failed to be reused. He defected to Liu Bang, was recommended as a captain by Xia Houying, and was later confirmed as a general by Xiao He. Han Xin first laid the Kaesong plan for Emperor Gaozu and started an uprising with him in Hanzhong. After pacifying the Three Qin Dynasties, we divided our forces to attack Wei, capture Dai, destroy Zhao, coerce Yan and break Chu. The establishment of the Han Dynasty was largely attributed to Han Xin. The world is undecided, and Liu Bangli made Han Xin king of Qi. At that time, Kuaiche, an adviser in Han Xin, advised Han Xin to rebel, but Han Xin refused to listen and vowed not to rebel. At the beginning of the world, Liu Bangfeng named princes with the same surname and belittled ministers with different surnames. Han Xin was superior to the rest of the world. Liu Bang was jealous of his talent and demoted Han Xin to Huaiyin Hou. After being demoted, Han Xin was disgruntled and deliberately rebelled. After Lv Hou knew it, he consulted with Xiao He, tricked Han Xin into the palace and killed him in the bell room of Changle Palace.

Sima Guang said: "It is the ambition of ordinary people to seize the opportunity to gain benefits, and those who are interested in learning have the mind to render meritorious service and repay kindness." Isn't it too difficult for Han Xin to seek benefits with the ambition of ordinary people and seek others' return with the heart of a gentleman? Therefore, Sima Qian, the Taishi Duke, commented: "If Han Xin is allowed to learn the way of monarch and minister, be courteous and courteous, not boast of his achievements and reserve his talents, the situation will probably be different. His contribution to the Han family can be compared with that of Duke Zhou, Zhao Gong, Taigong Lu Shang and others, so that future generations can enjoy sacrifices. He doesn't do this, but he has been planning a rebellion every once in a while in the world. Isn't it natural to be beheaded? "However, as Fan Li said," Birds are exhausted, a good bow hides, a wily rabbit dies, and a running dog cooks. "Even if Han Xin did as Sima Qian said, he was doomed to a tragic fate. In order to consolidate his achievements, Liu Bang will still weaken Han Xin's strength and kill him. If Han Xin had followed Kuaiche's advice, history would have been rewritten.
