How to evaluate Han Xin's life?

Han Xin, a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, a strategist, one of the four sages of military strategists, and one of the three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, is a representative figure of China's military thought, and is regarded as a "soldier fairy" and a "handsome god" by later generations. But in the end, it was inevitable to be killed. The reason is that what Zhang Liang said was "excessive sharpness", that is, high work covered the Lord, which was feared by Liu Bang. His life can be summarized as being down and out in the early stage, showing his sharp edge in the middle stage, and being too sharp in the later stage, ending with Lu.

Many people have heard the story of Han Xin when he was young. He was able to endure the humiliation of his legs and never went back for revenge when he grew up, but he was able to repay the kindness to the old people who helped him. It is said that when he was down and out, he didn't even have money to eat. At the beginning, an old man helped him and gave him food every day, but Han Xin always kept it in mind. When he became rich, he sent troops to look for the old man and gave him a lot of wealth.

after joining Liu Bang's camp, Han Xin showed great military talent. But he didn't see that Liu Bang had been very afraid of him, and even behaved very arrogantly. His position as a vassal, or even his own coming, would make Liu Bang very dissatisfied. It's just that he didn't have that ambition at all, and he finally died at the hands of Lv Hou. And Lv Hou finally didn't get any punishment, that is to say, Lv Hou's behavior, in fact, Liu Bang is also very recognized.

In fact, Han Xin is still loyal to Liu Bang and has no intention of rebellion. In the Qing Dynasty, Bao Bin wrote poems to defend him: "A bird close to a good bow is bound to hide, and a thousand years of history will cost a lot of comments." A meal in the district is still rewarding, and I am willing to bear the Hanwang for the minister. " The ancients have long said that "a sly rabbit dies, a running dog cooks, birds are exhausted, and a good bow hides;" The enemy country is broken, and the adviser is dead. " But more people think that his mistake is that he doesn't know how to protect himself.
