Speaking of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it is inseparable from the names of Sean, Xiao He and Han Xin, the great heroes in the third year of the Han Dynasty. Emperor gaozu Liu bang once asked his ministers, "how can I win the world?" The ministers' answers are beside the point. Liu Bangsui said: "I am where I am today because of three people-I am planning and winning thousands of miles away, not as good as Sean." I am not as good as Xiao He in guarding the country, appeasing the people and constantly supplying rations; If we lead a million people, we will win the battle and take an attack. We are not as good as Han Xin. All three are outstanding people, and I can use them, so I take the essence of the world. "But a careful analysis, three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, can alone, can compete with others. The bottom can be said to be foolhardy Han Xin. From the perspective of military commander-in-chief, Han Xin is a rare commander-in-chief. He was able to exert the potential of weak military forces to the extreme, so that he finally ambushed the powerful Chu overlord Xiang Yu and laid the foundation for the establishment of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, which was inseparable from his superhuman military command ability. In his small talk with Liu Bang, he once thought that Liu Bang only had the ability to command 100,000 troops, but as far as his own command ability is concerned, there is no limit to the number, and the more troops he commands, the better (this is the origin of the idiom "Han Xin will send his troops, the more the better"). As a military commander, Han Xin is brave and qualified. But as a counselor in the power center, he is obviously mentally flawed and failed. To put it bluntly, Han Xin's tactical skills are only equivalent to the level of primary school students. His situation at that time was armed to the teeth, and he contributed to Gao Zhen's life, but he didn't have any sense of self-protection. He was suspected of being framed many times, but he never cared and never wanted to improve. Finally, he died at the hands of Lv Hou in the plot of Weiyang Palace. It can be said that "heroes are real heroes, and they have failed millions of soldiers in their chests"! By the way, the history books more or less allude to Han Xin's rebellious tendency, which I think is very unfair. Judging from the conditions of Han Xin, if he really wanted to rebel, he succeeded one hundred times, but he never rebelled until he was killed.
Xiao He in three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty is a very complicated figure. If you want to sum him up in one sentence, you can only say that he is wiser than benevolence. I don't need to say much about Xiao He's administrative ability to govern the country. Liu Bang said that "I am not as good as Xiao He in defending our country, appeasing the people and constantly supplying rations" is the most accurate evaluation of him. What's particularly surprising is that his effective policy not only failed to repeat the practice of people dying after his death, but even his successor, Cao Can, kept all the laws, regulations, principles and policies formulated by Xiao He before his death, and only cared about eating, drinking and having fun, so he was able to make remarkable achievements and enjoy the prosperity of the country and the people. As a result, this well-known allusion has become the idiom "following the rules" that has been passed down to this day. This shows how excellent Xiao He's administrative ability of governing the country is! Speaking of Xiao He's greatest contribution to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, it is now a well-known allusion of "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon"-the outstanding and handsome Han Xin was so angry that he left without saying goodbye because he was overqualified by Liu Bang, and was later recovered as a marshal by the old and frail Xiao He starry night. But it is a great pity that Xiao He, who was praised by later generations on the issue of Han Xin, was later criticized by later generations on the issue of Han Xin. That is, Xiao He clearly knew that Han Xin would not rebel, but under the consideration of personal difficulties (possibly including avoiding suspicion), he set a trap with Lv Hou to murder Han Xin. This is the origin of the touching idiom "success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He". Throughout Xiao He's life, this unkind and unfair stain may be a flaw, and it can't shake Xiao He's historical position as a famous figure, but it is a stain after all, and it is far from perfect under the historical conditions at that time.
In three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, only Sean is a perfect person with benevolence, wisdom and courage. Sean's wisdom can be best explained in Liu Bang's sentence, "I am not as ingenious as Sean, and I won a thousand miles", and I don't need to say anything; Sean's bravery can be seen from his fearless action with like-minded Lux to assassinate the tyrant Qin Shihuang, who was guarded by a large number of guards in Bolangsha. Needless to say; I think Sean's kindness is worth writing a book. Mencius believed that the ideal perfect temperament should be "wealth can't be lewd, power can't be bent, and poverty can't be moved", and Sean completely achieved this. Sean's performance at the award ceremony after the founding of the People's Republic of China surprised everyone, including Liu Bang: He declined Liu Bang's award to his Wan Huhou (including the privilege of choosing territory at will), and after repeated persuasion by Liu Bang, he only chose a remote and poor county to stay in the county. Sean said, "Your Majesty really wants to reward me, so I left the place where I met your Majesty as a souvenir. I can't be Wan Huhou. I once assassinated the tyrant Qin Shihuang, and the world was shocked; Now, it's too much for me as an ordinary person to take the golden tongue as the emperor's teacher and win the honor of Wan Huhou. I really want to give up the wealth of the world and live the life of ordinary people. " Moreover, Sean did what he said, not only did he not let Wan Huhou take the lead, but even this small county magistrate found a chance to give up. Historian Sima Qian praised Sean: "In planning, winning is better than being invisible; Ovary plans its own affairs, which is not well-known and has no courage. The picture is difficult and easy, greater than fine. " Even Su Shi, a great writer who refused to praise others easily, wrote a famous "Hou Lun" specifically to lament the character: "The so-called heroes in ancient times must have extraordinary festivals. People can't be ninjas. People see humiliation, draw their swords and stand up and fight. This is not brave enough. There are brave people in the world, who are not surprised when faced suddenly, and are not angry when they supplement for no reason. This is a big hostage, and his ambition is far away. "
