Idioms and allusions

After Liu Bang became emperor, Han Xin was granted the title of king of Chu by Liu Bang. Soon after, Liu Bang received a secret report that Han Xin accepted Xiang Yu's old zhonglimao and was ready to rebel. So he used Chen Ping's stratagem to pretend that he was going to visit yunmengze and wanted the princes to meet in chendi. When Han Xin knew about it, he killed Zhong Limai and came to see Liu Bang in chendi. Liu Bang ordered Han Xin to be arrested. Take him back to Luoyang. After returning to Luoyang, Liu Bang knew that Han Xin had not rebelled against him. He remembered his past military achievements and demoted him as Marquis of Huaiyin. Han Xin was very dissatisfied, but he had nothing to do. Liu Bang knew what Han Xin was thinking. One day, he called Han Xin to the palace for a chat and asked him to comment on the talents of the generals in the court. Han Xin said it one by one. Of course, those people are not in Han Xin's eyes. Liu Bang listened, then asked him with a smile: "in your opinion, how many people can I take?" "Your Majesty can take 100000." Han Xin replied. Liu Bang asked again: "what about you?" "for me, of course, the more the better!" Liu Bang said with a smile: "the more soldiers you lead, the better. How can you be caught by me?" Han Xin knew that he had said something wrong. He quickly covered up and said: "Your Majesty does not lead many soldiers, but he has the ability to control the generals!" Liu Bang was very unhappy when he saw that Han Xin was still so arrogant after he was demoted to Huaiyin marquis. Later, Liu Bang went to war again, and his wife, empress Lu, finally designed to kill Han Xin.

Cultural knowledge

After the fall of the state of Qin, Liu Bang was enfeoffed in the Han Dynasty (today's Hanzhong City in Shaanxi Province), and soon fought for the world with Xiang Yu. The Han army was only a few thousand people and a mob, under the command of Han Xin. Han Xin's first battle was against 200000 Zhao troops in Jingxing. He fought against the back of the river and defeated the Zhao army, so his morale was greatly boosted. This is the famous "battle of Jingxing" in history. After that, the Han Army under the command of Han Xin defeated Xiang Yu and forced him to commit suicide in Wujiang. Therefore, the idiom has "Han Xin leads the army, more is better".
