"Historical Records", one of the Twenty-Four Histories, was originally called "Tai Shi Gong Shu" or "Tai Shi Gong Ji" and "Tai Shi Ji". It is a biographical history book written by Sima Qian, a historian in the Western Han Dynasty. It is one of the most important historical records in China. The first biographical general history in history. The following is Volume 92 of "Historical Records" and the 32nd Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin. Come and take a look!

The Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin, was a native of Huaiyin. When he first became a commoner, he was poor and had no business, so he could not be selected as an official, and he could not manage merchants. He often sent food and drink from others, which was disliked by many people. Changshuo went to the countryside to send food to the pavilion chief in Nanchang. For several months, the pavilion chief's wife got sick, so she cooked and produced food in the morning. Be faithful to each other when eating, not just for food. Xin also knew what he meant. He was so angry that he went to fish for fish under the city. Among the other mothers, one mother saw that Xin was hungry and had no food for him. Xinxi was delighted and said to Piao's mother, "I will definitely repay my mother with kindness." The mother said angrily, "A man cannot feed himself. How can I expect retribution when I eat in mourning for my king and grandson?"

And Xiang Liangdu Huai, trust in the stick and sword, live under the show, and have no reputation. Xiang Liang was defeated, and he belonged to Xiang Yu, who thought he was a doctor. Xiang Yu was sent to serve Xiang Yu several times, but Yu was not used. When the king of Han entered Shu, Xin lost Chu and returned to Han. He was not well-known and was named Lian Ao. Sitting down to behead, thirteen of his generation had already been beheaded. Next came Xin, who looked up to him lightly. When he saw Teng Gong, he said, "You don't want to conquer the world? What do you mean by beheading a strong man?" Teng Gong was surprised at his words and emphasized his appearance. , release without killing. Talk about it in a big way. He said that he was the commander-in-chief of Zhisu, which was unknown to him.

How strange is Xinshu and Xiao He’s words. By the time we reached Nanzheng, dozens of generals had died while practicing the Way. I had already told you how trustworthy they were, and if they were not used by me, they would perish. How can one hear that one's faith is dead? If one does not hear about it, one should pursue it oneself. Someone said: "Why did the Prime Minister die?" The superior was furious, as if he had lost his left and right hands. After staying for a day or two, he came to pay a visit to his superior. He was angry and happy, scolded him and said, "What will happen if I die?" He said, "I dare not die. I pursue those who die." "Shang said: "Who is the person you are chasing? Said: "Han Xin also." "The emperor scolded again: "The generals will die by the number of ten, and the public has no pursuit; pursuing trust is a deceit. He said: "Generals can easily get their ears." Those who truly believe will be unparalleled in their country. The king must want to be a long-term king in Hanzhong, and he will believe in nothing; he will definitely want to compete in the world, and he will not believe in anything and plan things. Gu Wang Ce'an decided to ear. "The king said: "I also want to go to Dong'er. How can I live here in depression for a long time? He said: "The king's plan must be to go east. If you can use your faith, your faith will remain; if you can't use it, your faith will eventually be lost." "The king said: "I am a public servant and a general. He said: "Although I am a general, I will never leave my faith." The king said: "I thought I was a general." He said: "I'm very lucky." "Then the king wanted to summon Xin to worship him. He said: "The king has always been arrogant and rude, and now he is worshiping the general as if he were calling a child's ear. This is why Xin went. The king will definitely want to worship it, so he will choose a good day, fast, set up a mandala, and use etiquette to listen. "The king promised. All the generals were happy, and everyone thought they had won a general. When it came time to pay homage to the general, it was Han Xin, and the whole army was shocked.

After Xin bowed and bowed, he sat down. The king said: "Prime Minister A few words about the general, how can a general teach strategies to a few people? Thank you for your letter, because I asked the king: "Today Dongxiang is fighting for power in the world, isn't it the evil of King Xiang?" The king of Han said: "Yes." He said: "Your Majesty, who is more brave, benevolent and strong than King Xiang?" The king of Han was silent for a long time and said, "It's not as good as that." Xin paid his respects and congratulated him again, saying, "But Xin is not as good as the king." However, I have a taste of what happened, and please tell me what King Xiang is like as a person. King Xiang secretly scolded him and destroyed thousands of people, but he could not appoint good generals. This is a brave man. When King Xiang saw people who were respectful and kind, he spoke vomitingly, he was sick, he cried and shared food and drink, and when he saw people who had meritorious deeds and deserved to be knighted, he sealed his seal and could not bear to give it. This is called the benevolence of a woman. Although King Xiang dominates the world and serves the princes, he does not live in Guanzhong but has his capital in Pengcheng. If one breaks the promise of the Righteous Emperor and loves the king, the princes will be unjust. When the princes saw that King Xiang had moved to the south of the Yangtze River to evict Emperor Yi, they all returned to his lord and fled to the good land of the king. Everything King Xiang did was destroyed, and the world was full of resentment, and the people were not close to him, especially because of the powerful ears. Although he is known as a hegemon, he is actually unpopular with the world. Therefore, it is said that it is easy to be weak when it is strong. Today, your Majesty, I can sincerely say the opposite: If the world is brave, why not punish them? Why not accept the title of meritorious officials with the cities and towns in the world? Why should those who returned from Sidong as righteous soldiers not disperse? Moreover, the three kings of Qin were generals of Qin. They killed Qin's children for several years, and they were invincible. They also deceived them to surrender to the princes. When they reached Xin'an, King Xiang deceived Qin and surrendered more than 200,000 soldiers, except Han, Yi, and Yi. After getting rid of it, Qin's father and brother complained about these three people, and it hurt to the bone marrow. Now that the power of Chu has threatened the king, these three people are not loved by the people of Qin. When the king enters Wuguan, Qiu will do no harm. He will eliminate the harsh laws of Qin and make an agreement with the people of Qin. The law is in three chapters. The people of Qin all want to have the king of Qin. According to the agreement between the princes, the king will be the king of Guanzhong, and the people of Guanzhong will know it. The king neglected his duties and entered Hanzhong, and the people of Qin all hated him. Now that the king has moved to the east, the Three Qin Dynasties can send a message and decide. "So the King of Han was overjoyed and thought that he had received the letter too late. So he listened to the plan and deployed his generals to attack.

In August, the King of Han sent his troops eastward from Chencang to secure the Three Qins.

In the second year of the Han Dynasty, he left the customs and captured Wei and Henan. The kings of Han and Yin all surrendered. Together Qi and Zhao attacked Chu. In April, when they arrived at Pengcheng, the Han troops were defeated and dispersed. Xinfu withdrew his troops and met with the King of Han at Xingyang, and again attacked Chu Jing and Suo, so that the Chu soldiers could not go west.

The Han was defeated in Pengcheng, King Xin of Sai and King Yi of Zhai died, and Han surrendered to Chu. Qi and Zhao also rebelled against Han and made peace with Chu. In the sixth month, King Bao of Wei paid a visit to see his relatives. When he arrived in the country, he cut off the river pass to rebel against the Han and made peace with Chu. The king of Han sent Li Sheng to say that the leopard would not fall. In the eighth month, he made Xin the prime minister of the left and attacked Wei. The king of Wei sent troops to Pu Ban to block the Jin Dynasty. Xin Naiyi was a suspicious soldier. Chen Chuan wanted to cross to the Jin Dynasty, but an ambush force crossed the army from Xia Yang with wooden poppies and attacked Anyi. King Bao of Wei was frightened and led troops to meet Xin. Xin then captured Bao and designated Wei as Hedong County. The king of Han sent Zhang Er and Xin together to lead troops to the east and attack Zhao and Dai in the north. In the ninth month after that, he defeated Daibing and Qin Xia said that he was with the enemy. Under the letter, the Wei Dynasty was defeated, and the Han Dynasty sent people to collect its elite troops and go to Xingyang to distance themselves from Chu.

Xin and Zhang Er, with tens of thousands of troops, wanted to go east to Jingxing to attack Zhao. When King Zhao and Lord Chen Yu of Cheng'an heard about the Han Dynasty and attacked, they gathered troops at Jingxingkou, claiming to be 200,000. Li Zuoche, the king of Guangwu, said to Cheng Anjun: "I heard that Han Xin of the Han Dynasty crossed the Xihe River and captured the king of Wei. Qin Xia said that there was a bloody battle, and now he is supplemented by Zhang Er, who wants to conquer Zhao. He will take advantage of the victory and go to the country. When fighting at a distance, one cannot take the lead. The ministers heard that food was sent from thousands of miles away, and the soldiers were hungry. The food supply will be behind them. I hope that I will use the enemy's 30,000 troops to cut off their baggage from the road. I will set up deep ditches and high bases, and do not fight against them. They will not be able to retreat. There will be no plunder in the field, and the head of the Western general will be killed. I hope you will pay attention to your plans. If you don't, you will be captured by your two sons. "Cheng'an Jun is a Confucian, and there is no need to cheat when he is a righteous soldier." Looking for a strange plan, he said: "I have heard that the art of war is to encircle an enemy ten times, and to fight if it is doubled. Today, Han Xin's soldiers number tens of thousands, but in fact they are only a few thousand. They can attack me from thousands of miles away, but they have stopped. If you avoid attacking me now, you will not be able to attack me in the future. If there is a big one, why add to it! Then the princes will say that I am cowardly and come to attack me lightly. "If you don't listen to Guangwu's strategy, you will not use it."

Han Xin was so happy that he dared to lead his troops and went down. Thirty miles before arriving at Jingxingkou, we stopped. In the middle of the night, a message was sent out, and two thousand men of light cavalry were selected, each holding a red banner. They looked at the Zhao army from the Jiandao Mountain, and warned: "When Zhao sees me leaving, he will chase me with an empty wall. If he rushes into the Zhao wall, he will pull out the Zhao banner. He ordered his subordinates to tell him, "We will destroy Zhao today!" All the generals responded, "No," he said to the military officer, "Zhao has taken advantage of the situation. Moreover, he has not seen my general's banners and is not willing to move forward, fearing that I will be blocked and return." Xin then asked ten thousand people to go ahead and go out with their backs. Zhao Jun laughed when he saw it. On the first day of the Ping Dynasty, General Xinjian's banners and drums came out of Jingxingkou. Zhao Kaibi attacked them and the battle lasted for a long time. So Xin and Zhang Erxiang abandoned the drums and flags and went to the water army. The water army moved in and resumed fighting. Zhao Guo fought against Han Xin and Zhang Er with empty walls and drum flags. Han Xin and Zhang Er have joined the floating army. They are fighting to the death and cannot be defeated. A surprise troop of 2,000 cavalry came out of Xinsuo. They waited for Zhao Kongbi to pursue the advantage. Then they galloped into Zhaobi. They all pulled out Zhao flags and set up 2,000 red banners of Han Dynasty. The Zhao army was defeated and could not be trusted. They wanted to return to the wall, but the Han soldiers on the wall were red flags. They were shocked, thinking that the Han army had captured the generals of the King of Zhao. The soldiers then fled in chaos. Although the Zhao generals beheaded them, they could not be restrained. So the Han soldiers attacked from a pinch and defeated the Zhao army. Anjun was cut into pieces and drowned on the river, forcing the king of Zhao to rest.

Xin is ordering the army not to kill Lord Guangwu, and those who can survive will buy a thousand gold coins. Therefore, if there is a person who binds Lord Guangwu and ends up in a show, Xin will untie him, sit down in Dongxiang, face him in Xixiang, and teach him.

The generals followed the example of the first captive, (Hugh) Bi congratulated him, and asked for the letter: "The art of war is divided by the mountains to the right, and the marshes in the front and left. Now the general and the ministers have turned their backs on the water, saying that Zhao Huishi will be defeated, and the minister will If you don't accept it, what's the point of winning?" Xin said, "This lies in the art of war. Isn't it true that the art of war says, 'Succumb to death, and survive after death'? Su Kao Xun, a scholar-official, said that the so-called "driving people to fight" is not to put everyone to death and make everyone fight on his own. Now, all the land given to him is gone, and it is better to use it if it can be obtained! " The generals all obeyed and said: "It is good. It is beyond the reach of my ministers."

So he asked Lord Guangwu in a letter: "I want to attack Yan in the east and attack Qi in the east. Why bother and achieve success?" Lord Guangwu declined. Said: "I have heard that 'a general who has been defeated cannot speak bravely, and a great man who has subjugated his country cannot try to survive'. Now that I am a defeated captive, how can I have any authority to do anything important?" Xin said: "When my servant heard this, Baili Xi was in danger. When Yu died, he was the hegemon of Qin. Yu was not stupid, but he was wiser than Qin. Whether he used it or not, he listened or not. If he sincerely ordered Cheng'an to listen to his plan, he would have become a bird if he didn't use it. You can trust me." Yin Gu asked, "I am committed to the plan, and I hope you will not give up.

Lord Guangwu said: "I have heard that 'a wise man will lose something if he thinks a lot; a fool will gain something if he thinks a lot'." Therefore, it is said that "the words of a crazy man are chosen by the sage." If you are afraid that your minister's plans may not be sufficient, you should be loyal to others. Fu Cheng'anjun has a plan to win every battle, but if he fails, his army will be defeated and his body will be dead. Now the general crossed the Xihe River and captured the king of Wei. Qin Xia said that he wanted to marry him and went down to Jingxing in one fell swoop. In the end, he defeated Zhao's 200,000 people and killed Anjun. He is well-known throughout the country and is powerful throughout the world. Farmers are always plowing the fields, providing food and clothing, and keeping their ears open for orders. If this is the case, this is what a general is good at. However, after all the hard work, it is actually difficult to use. General, are you tired now? The soldiers of the Yan Dynasty are under the strong city. If they want to fight, they may not be able to pull out for a long time. They will see that the situation is weak, the mines will be exhausted, and the weak Yan will not accept it. Qi must stay away from the border to strengthen itself. If Yan and Qi remain in a stalemate, Liu Xiang's power will not be divided. If this is the case, the general is at his shortcomings. I am foolish, I think it is too much. Therefore, those who are good at using weapons do not use short force to attack long force, but use long force to attack short force. Han Xin said: "Then why?" Lord Guangwu said to him: "This is the plan of the general. It is better to suspend the troops in case armor, suppress Zhao and care for his orphans. Within a hundred miles, when the cattle and wine are coming, he will feast on the scholars and officials and kill the soldiers. Head to the Yan Road in the north, and then send the debaters." If you follow the book that is close to you and expose its strengths to Yan, Yan will not dare to disobey. Yan has followed and sent the noisy people east to report to Qi. Qi will obey the wind. Even if there are wise men, they don't know what Qi's plan is. If this is the case, everything in the world can be planned. This is what a soldier should do first to make a sound and then to make a real move. "Han Xin said: "Good. "According to his policy, he sent envoys to Yan, and Yan followed the wind and swept away. He sent envoys to report to Han, because he asked Zhang Er to be made King of Zhao to subdue his country. The king of Han agreed, and he made Zhang Er King of Zhao.< /p>

Chu sent a strange army to cross the river to attack Zhao. King Er and Han Xin of Zhao went back and forth to rescue Zhao. They decided to attack the city of Zhao and sent troops to attack Han. The king of Han rushed south to Wan and Yejian. After getting Yingbu, he entered Chenggao, and Chu again besieged it. In the sixth month, the king of Han left Chenggao, crossed the river eastward, and joined Teng Gong alone. He came from Zhang'er's army to Xiuwu and stayed in Chuanshe. When they entered Zhaobi, Zhang Er and Han Xin were lying on the ground and seized their seals. They summoned the generals under their command. When Yi Xin and Han Xin came up, they saw that the King of Han was coming and he was shocked. , that is, he ordered Zhang Er to guard the Zhao territory, worship Han Xin as the prime minister, collect the Zhao soldiers who had not sent out, and attack Qi.

Han Xin wanted to stop. Kuai Tong, a debater in Fan Yang, said: "The general was ordered to attack Qi, but the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack Qi. Wouldn't it be better to have an order to stop the general?" Why can't you do it? Moreover, Li gave birth to a soldier, and Fu Shi lost three inches of his tongue. He conquered more than seventy cities, and the generals numbered tens of thousands. He conquered more than fifty cities at the age of more than 10 years. If he was a general for several years, it would not be as good as the merit of a single Confucian scholar. ? " So Xin believed it and followed his plan to cross. Qi had heard about Li Sheng, so he stayed and drank while leaving the Han to guard. Xin then attacked Qi Li's army and went to Linyi. King Tian Guang of Qi sold himself to Li Sheng, so Hengzhi went to Gaomi and sent an envoy to Chu to ask for help. Han Xin then pursued Guang east to the west of Gaomi. Chu also sent a general named Long Qi to rescue Qi.

King Guang of Qi and Long Qi joined forces to fight with Xin, but they failed to unite. People may say that Long Qi said: "The Han soldiers are fighting at a distance, and they cannot take the lead. Qi and Chu fought in their own territory, and their troops were easily defeated and dispersed. It is better to go deep into the wall and order the King of Qi to recruit his loyal ministers to the conquered city. If the conquered city hears that its king is there and Chu comes to rescue it, it will definitely rebel against the Han. The Han soldiers have been away for two thousand miles, and all the cities have turned against them. Their power has no food, so they can surrender without a fight. "Long Qie said: "I have known Han Xin in my life as a man who is easy to talk to. Moreover, if I rescue Qi and surrender without fighting, what will I do? If we win this battle, we can get half of them, so where can we stop! "Then the battle was carried out, and Xin and Xin were caught in the Weishui River. Han Xin sent people to prepare more than ten thousand sacks at night, filled them with sand, blocked the water flow, led the army halfway across, and attacked the dragon. He couldn't win, but he still left. Long Qieguo was happy and said: "Gu Knowing faith is timid. "Then he chased Xin and crossed the water. Xin's messenger broke the bag and the water was huge. Most of Long Qie's army could not cross, so he attacked quickly and killed Long Qie. Long Qishui's eastern army dispersed, and King Guang of Qi died. Xin then pursued north When they reached Chengyang, they captured all the Chu soldiers.

In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty, they all surrendered to Qi. The messenger said to the King of Han: "Qi is a country that is prone to fraud and change. Chu in the south cannot be suppressed by a false king. Its power is uncertain, so I would like to be a false king. "At that time, Chu Fang rushed to surround the King of Han in Xingyang. Han Xin's messenger arrived and issued a letter. The King of Han was furious and cursed: "I am trapped here. If Wang Ruo comes to help me in the evening, he wants to make himself king! Zhang Liang and Chen Ping snooped on the Han king's feet and whispered: "The Han side is not in a good position. Would you rather wait for the king who forbids faith?" It is better to establish it accordingly, meet it well, and keep it on your own; otherwise, it will change. The King of Han also realized this, so he scolded him again: "When a man decides on the princes, he is the true king, why should he pretend to be so!" " Then he sent Zhang Liang to establish Xin as the king of Qi and recruit his troops to attack Chu.

Chu had already lost Longji. King Xiang was afraid, so he sent Wu She from Xuyi to tell King Xin of Qi: "The king of Qi is the best in the world. * Qin has been suffering for a long time, and Xiang Yu fought hard to attack Qin. The Qin Dynasty has been defeated, and the land is divided according to merit, and the king divides the land to lay waste to the soldiers.

Now the King of Han has revived his army and marched eastward, invading the enemy's territory and seizing their territory. He has defeated the Three Qin Dynasties. He has led his troops out of the pass, collected the troops of the princes, and attacked Chu in the east. His intention is not to swallow up the whole world without rest. He does not know how to be satisfied with this. Nothing! Moreover, the King of Han is not necessary. He is in the control of King Xiang. King Xiang lives in pity, but he escapes, often doubles the promise, and attacks King Xiang again. He cannot be trusted like this. Although I now consider myself to be a close friend of the King of Han and use all my troops to fight for him, I will eventually fall prey to him. The reason why I have been here for a moment now is because King Xiang is still alive. The affairs of the two kings today are all under their control. If he throws to the right, the King of Han will win; if he throws to the left, the King of Xiang will win. If King Xiang dies today, he will take the next step. If you have a connection with King Xiang, why don't you join forces with Han and Chu to join the ranks of the kings of the world? At this time, I will attack Chu from the Han Dynasty, and I am a wise man! "Han Xin thanked him and said: "I want to serve as the king, my official position is no more than a doctor, my position is no more than holding a halberd, I don't listen to my words, and I don't use my paintings, so I returned to the Han Dynasty because of the loss of Chu. The King of Han granted me the seal of general, gave me tens of thousands of people, undressed me, fed me, and listened to his advice, so I was able to achieve this. My wife trusts me deeply, I am doubly unlucky, although death will not be easy. Thank you King Xiang for your trust! "

Wu She has gone, Qi Ren Kuai informed Han Xin that the power of the world belongs to him, and he wanted to be moved by a strange plan. He told Han Xin as a fortune teller and said: "I have tried to accept the skill of fortune tellers. Han Xin said, "How do you treat me, sir?" He said: "Nobleness or disgrace depends on the bones, happiness or sorrow depends on the appearance, success or failure depends on the decision. If you take this into account, you will never lose one." "Han Xin said: "Good. "Sir, how do you treat the widowed people?" He said to him, "I wish I could have a little time." Xin said, "Let's go." Tong said, "The face of the prime minister is not more than the title of a prince, but it is also dangerous. The back of the prime minister is precious. "What do you mean?" said Han Xin. Kuai Tong said, "When the world is in trouble, Jie Jian calls out, and the people in the world gather together in clouds and fog, and the wind blows." The worry is only the destruction of Qin. The current conflict between Chu and Han has caused the death of innocent people in the world, and the corpses of fathers and sons have been exposed in the middle of the country. There are countless people in Chu. Shocked the world. However, the troops were trapped between Jing and Suo, and were forced to attack the Western Mountains. They had been here for three years. As a result, he turned north without saving, defeated Xingyang, and was injured in Gao, so he walked between Wan and Ye. This is what is called a person who is both wise and courageous. His energy was frustrated by the dangerous fortress, and the food was exhausted in the inner palace. The people were extremely resentful. There is nothing to rely on. According to the ministers, the world's sages cannot stop the disasters of the world. The lives of the two masters now hang on one step. If the step is Han, then Chu will win. Heart and soul, lose the liver and gallbladder, it will be a fool's errand, and you may not be able to use it with one step. If you are sincerely able to listen to the minister's plan, you can't do it for the benefit of both sides. Holy, there are soldiers in armor, strong Qi, from Yan and Zhao, out of the empty land and control them. Because of the people's desire, Xixiang pleads for the people, and the world will respond. Who dares not to listen! The strong, the weak, establish the princes. When the princes are established, the world will obey and return to Qi. Therefore, there are places like Jiao and Si, and the princes will be virtuous and bow to each other deeply. Then the kings of the world will follow each other and come to court. I am in Qi. Gai Wentian and Fu Tie will be blamed. If the time comes, I will be punished. "

Han Xin said: "The king of Han is very kind to me. I use my chariot, I clothe myself, I eat my food. How can I double my righteousness by benefiting my country?" Kuai Sheng said: "I thought I was a good king of Han and wanted to build a legacy for all generations, but I thought it was a mistake. Later, they fought over Zhang Xian and Chen Ze, and the two men complained. The king of Changshan carried Xiang's head and fled to the Han Dynasty. , The world laughs when these two people get along, and the world is happy. However, what is wrong with those who are like birds? If you want to be loyal to the king of Han, you will not be able to stick to it. As for the two monarchs, the situation was greater than that of Zhang Xian and Chen Ze. Therefore, I thought that the king of Han would not be in danger with one step, but it was also a mistake. The officials Zhong and Fan Li survived and died. The wild beasts are gone but the hunting dogs are strong. If you talk about making friends, it is not as good as Zhang Erzhi and Cheng'an Jun; if you talk about loyalty, it is not as good as the great minister Zhong and Fan Lizhi. I hope you will think deeply about it. I heard that those who are brave enough to shock the Lord will not be rewarded, but those who have achieved great success will not be rewarded. I would like to ask the king for his strategy: I will step across the Xihe River and capture the king of Wei. Qin Xia said that he would lead his troops to Jingxing and punish Cheng'an. The king favored Zhao, threatened Yan, captured Qi, destroyed 200,000 soldiers of the Chu people in the south, killed Long Qi in the east, and repaid Xixiang. This so-called merit is the same as in the world, but it is unparalleled in the world.

Now I am going to wear the power of Zhenzhu and return to Chu with unrewarded achievements. The Chu people don't believe me. I am going to Han, and the Han people are frightened: Is it safe for me to return with this? The husband is in the position of a minister and has the power to shake the master. His reputation is high in the world, and he who steals it is in danger for his subordinates. Han Xin thanked him and said, "Sir, it's time to rest. I will remember it." "

A few days later, Kuai Tongfu said: "The time of hearing is the time for things to happen, and the timing of things is to plan. It is rare to hear that the plan is wrong and can be settled for a long time<. If you don't miss one or two things in listening, don't use random words; if you don't lose sight of the essence in planning, don't use random words. Those who follow the servants and support them will lose the power of ten thousand chariots; those who guard the salary of Danshi will lose the position of prime minister. Therefore, those who know are the ones who make decisive decisions, those who are doubtful are the ones who will do harm, those who scrutinize the smallest plan will leave behind the vast numbers, and those who know it wisely and sincerely will never dare to do it, which will be the cause of all kinds of disasters. Therefore, it is said that "the hesitation of a fierce tiger is not as good as the sting of a bee; the stumbling of a horse is not as good as the calm pace of a horse; the suspicion of Meng Ben is not as good as the certainty of a mediocre man; even though he has the wisdom of Shun and Yu, he chants without saying anything, which is not as good as a fist." Deafness refers to the subordinates'. You can do what you say. Fu Gong is difficult to achieve but easy to fail; time is rare but easy to lose. When time comes, it will never come again. I would like to take a closer look at it. "Han Xin hesitated and couldn't bear to do as much as the Han, and he thought that the Han would not take away our Qi because he had more merits, so he thanked Kuai Tong. Kuai Tong refused to listen and was already crazy about being a witch.

The king of Han was trapped in the mausoleum. Using Zhang Liang's plan, he summoned King Xin of Qi and gathered his troops in Gaixia. Xiang Yu had been defeated. In the first month of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, King Xin of Qi moved to Pi. When the letter came to the country, he summoned his mother and gave her a thousand gold coins. She went to the Nanchang pavilion in the countryside and gave her a hundred coins, saying: "Young man, you are a villain, and you will not die for your virtue." "He summoned the young man who had humiliated him and ordered the one who came out of his crotch to be the lieutenant of Chu. He told the generals and ministers: "This is a strong man. When someone insults me, would I rather not kill him? There is no reason to kill, so I endure it and do it here. ”

King Xiang’s dead general Zhongli lived in Yilu, and he was a good man. After King Xiang died, he returned to Xin. The king of Han resented him and heard that he was in Chu, so he ordered Chu to arrest him. In the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, people sent a letter to the king of Chu to report the rebellion. Emperor Gao took Chen Ping's plan and the emperor visited the princes. There was Yunmeng in the south, and he sent an envoy to the princes to meet Chen: "I will travel to the clouds." Dream. "You really want to attack Xin, but you don't know it. When Emperor Gaozu came to Chu, Xin wanted to launch an army to rebel, and he wanted to save himself from guilt. If he wanted to pay a visit, he was afraid of seeing birds. Some people may say that Xin said: "If you kill the ignorant and pay a visit to the superior, the superior will be happy. Suffer. "Xin saw that Mei was planning something. Mei said: "The reason why the Han did not attack Chu was because Mei was in the public office. If you want to arrest me in order to flatter yourself to the Han Dynasty, if I die today, you will also die easily. Then he scolded Xin and said, "The public is not an elder!" "He committed suicide. Xin took his head and paid homage to the great ancestor in Chen. He ordered the warriors to tie the letter and carry it to the back of the carriage. The letter said: "As expected, people say: 'When the cunning rabbit dies, the good dog thrives; when the tall bird is gone, the good bow is hidden. ; The enemy's country is destroyed, and the advisers are killed. ’ The world has been settled, and I will surely prosper! "Shang said: "People report rebellion. "Then the weapons were doubled. When he arrived at Luoyang, he pardoned Xin's crime and made him the Marquis of Huaiyin.

Xin knew that the king of Han was afraid of his power and often complained of illness and refused to obey the court. From this, Xin looked resentful day and night, and lived in the martingale. Shame, Jiang, Guan, etc. Xin tasted General Fan's Kuai, knelt down to greet him, and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to come to you!" Xin went out and said with a smile: "I am in the company of Kuai and others!" "The superior always calmly and confidently said that the generals' abilities differed greatly. The superior asked: "How many generals can I do? The letter said: "Your Majesty can only command one hundred thousand." "Shang said: "How is it for you? Said: "The more ministers you have, the better your ears will be." Shang smiled and said: "The more the merrier, why do you want to be a bird for me?" Xin said: "Your Majesty is unable to command troops, but he is good at generals. This is why Xin is your Majesty's bird." Moreover, what Your Majesty calls divine gift is not human power. "

Chen Xi worshiped him as the guardian of the giant deer and said goodbye to the Marquis of Huaiyin. The Marquis of Huaiyin took his hand and walked with him in the court. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Can you talk to me? I want to talk to my son. Xi said: "Only the general orders it." The Marquis of Huaiyin said: "The residence of the Duke is the place where the best soldiers in the world are located; and the Duke is the trusted and honored minister of Your Majesty." Your Majesty will not believe someone's words when you come to your side; if you come again, your Majesty will be suspicious; if you come three times, you will be angry and take control of yourself. From the moment I become a public servant, I will be able to conquer the world. Chen Xisu knew what he was capable of and believed in it, saying, "I sincerely accept my teaching!" "In the tenth year of the Han Dynasty, Chen Xiguo rebelled. The superior went to the general, but Xinbing refused to follow. Yin sent people to Xi's place and said: "My brother raises the army, and I will help the duke from now on. "Xin Nai conspired with his retainers at night to pardon the officials, disciples and slaves, intending to attack Empress Lu and the prince. The arrangements have been made, waiting for Xi's report. His family has offended Xin, and Xin is a prisoner, and wants to kill him. She's younger brother is going to change. , and reported the letter to Empress Lu. Empress Lu wanted to call her, but she was afraid that her party would not do it, so she conspired with Xiao Xiangguo and deceived people to come from above, saying that Xi was dead, and all the princes and people congratulated him. The letter said: "Although I am ill, I am strong enough to congratulate you. When Xin came in, Empress Lu ordered the warriors to bind the letter and kill it in the bell chamber of Changle. Xin Fang killed him and said: "I regret not using Kuai Tong's plan, but I was deceived by my children. Isn't it God's fault!" "The three tribes of Suiyi and Xin.

Gaozu had already arrived from the Xi army. When he saw Xin Xin's death, he was happy and pitied him, and asked: "What can I say if Xin is dead?" Empress Lu said: "Xin Yan's words are regrettable without Kuai Tong's plan." Emperor Gaozu said: "He is a debater in Qi." He ordered Qi to capture Kuai Tong. Kuai Tong arrived and asked: "If you teach the Marquis of Huaiyin, what will happen?" He said to him: "Of course, I will teach him. Shuzi does not use the minister's strategy, so he ordered himself to be here. If Shuzi uses the minister's strategy, your majesty will be safe. But what's wrong?" Shang said angrily, "Heng Zhi." Tong said, "Oh, it's unfair!" Shang said, "How can it be unfair to teach Han Xin to rebel?" , Shandong was in great turmoil, different surnames emerged, and the handsome men and women gathered together. Qin lost his deer, and the world was conquered, so the talented and fast-footed ones were the first to get it. Lord. At this time, I only know Han Xin, but not Your Majesty. There are many people in the world who are eager to do what Your Majesty does. How can they be so evil? "It's Shitong's crime.

Tai Shigong said:

I am like Huaiyin, and the people in Huaiyin are Yu Yan. Although Han Xin was a commoner, his ambition was different from others. His mother died, and she was too poor to bury her, so she camped in a high and open area, so that thousands of families could be placed beside her. I regard his mother's grave as a good one. If Han Xin were taught to be humble in his studies, not to attack his achievements, and not to be proud of his abilities, then he would be a commoner. His family honors in the Han Dynasty would be comparable to those of Zhou, Zhao, and Taigong, and future generations would be devoured by blood. It is not appropriate to go out of this way and the world is already gathered to plot rebellion and destroy the clan!
