During the conflict between Chu and Han, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, had elite troops, but he never took the initiative to lead his troops to the front line of Xingyang to help Liu Bang. Instead, he adopted a wait-and-see behavior for three reasons.

First of all, Han Xin's mission is not to "save Liu Bang", but to eliminate some vassal states for Liu Bang.

In the second year of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ping, who later became the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, returned to the Han Dynasty. As soon as Chen Ping arrived at the Han camp, he proposed a plan to the King of Han Liu Bang. This plan was recorded in the history books as Liu Bang robbed the five princes and attacked Chu. This plan went smoothly.

Xiang Yu was fiercely resisting by the Qi people for burning, killing and looting in Qi, so he had to stay in Qi to deal with the Qi people. At the same time, Xiang Yu's capital Pengcheng was very empty, and Liu Bang's Han Dynasty The army and the plundering soldiers from the five princes totaled 560,000 people and quickly captured Pengcheng. Liu Bang, the king of Han, moved into the Bawang Palace, seized Xiang Yu's concubines and treasures, and held parties in the Bawang Palace every day.

Xiang Yu ignored the resistance of the Qi people and returned to Pengcheng with his elite troops. Liu Bang, who was dazzled by the victory, was caught off guard. The soldiers of the five princes immediately neutralized. Liu Bang led the Han army to fight alone. The enemy Xiang Yu's elite troops, more than 100,000 Han troops, were forced by Xiang Yu's Chu troops by the Sui River, suffering heavy casualties.

After experiencing the defeat of Pengcheng, Liu Bang finally escaped from the encirclement of the Chu army. In Xiayi, Liu Bang dismounted his horse, leaned on the saddle and made a great wish. If anyone could help him take over the world, he would give up all the land east of Shanhaiguan. The remaining marquis Zhang Liang took this opportunity to recommend Yingbu, Peng Yue, and Han Xin. After returning to Xingyang, Liu Bang sent Han Xin to conquer Wei Bao's Western Wei Kingdom. Han Xin fulfilled his mission and captured Wei Bao in one battle. Liu Bang also used Han Xin more seriously. Han Xin was given tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Han Xin and Zhang Er, the former king of Changshan, pacified Zhao. After Han Xin pacified Zhao, he forced Yan to surrender, and Liu Bang ordered Han Xin to attack Qi.

Various evidence shows that as Liu Bang's general, Han Xin's task is to send troops outside to conquer various vassal states for Liu Bang. Therefore, there is no need for Han Xin to personally lead troops to support Liu Bang when he fails to complete his task.

Secondly, Han Xin’s ambition is to split the earth and become king. Only when the generals are outside can he have the opportunity to split the earth and become king.

Before Ma Qian of Taishi Company compiled "Historical Records", he visited Han Xin's hometown Huaiyin County. In Huaiyin County, Sima Qian asked about many anecdotes about Han Xin. Sima Qian knew that before Han Xin became successful, his ambitions were not the same as those of the people around him. Different, this can be seen from the incident of Han Xin burying his mother.

Before Han Xin became successful, his life was very miserable. He was so miserable that he could not even make a living by himself and could only follow others to freeload. However, Han Xin was so poor, but he was able to find a high and spacious cemetery for his mother after her death. Sima moved to Han Mu's cemetery and found that the Feng Shui of the cemetery was very good, and 10,000 families could be placed next to the cemetery.

The incident of Han Xin burying his mother shows that Han Xin’s ambition before he became successful was to break the earth and become king, or at least to be the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

In order to realize his ambition, when Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew arrived in Huaiyin, Han Xin took the initiative to join the army. When he was in the Xiang family's team, Han Xin worked hard to show his talents and offered advice to Xiang Yu many times. Unfortunately, none of them were accepted, so Han Xin turned his back on Chu and defected to the Han. In the Han camp, Han Xin thought that Xiao He had recommended him to Liu Bang many times, but Liu Bang still didn't reuse him. He thought that he had no chance, so he ran away again, so he led Xiao He under the moon. Chasing the historical story of Han Xin.
