Kuai Tong, as a counselor, has given many tricks to his master Han Xin, but he is most famous for two, the first is the strategy of chaos, and the second is the strategy of dividing the world into three parts. And Han Xin only adopted the previous one, and he refused the other one.
It can be said that because of Han Xin's refusal, the balance of history is biased towards Han, which shows that the strategy of "three points in the world" has great influence and can change the whole situation.
in 23 BC, after the invasion of qi, Han Xin occupied 72 cities in succession, and asked Liu Bang to make himself king of qi, which became a force that could not be ignored in the "hegemony between Chu and Han" at that time.
For Han Xin, betrayal at this time can be said to be an excellent opportunity. At that time, neither side in the struggle dared to offend Han Xin. Those counselors, moved crooked brains, just want to encourage Han Xin to choose his side. The first person to persuade was Wu She. He wanted to call Han Xin neutral and let him not help each other, but after all, he was a Chujun, and his persuasiveness was limited.

Kuai Tong was originally from the State of Zhao, envied Qi for its many talents and handsome men, and lived in Qi for many academic halls. Kuai Tong's first appearance was wonderful. After the Chen Sheng Uprising, he attacked various countries in succession, and he was going to attack Zhao, while Kuai Tong, a son of Zhao.
I didn't want to see the loss of life in my country, so I persuaded Xugong to surrender, and I also persuaded Wu Chen. Because of his running around, I could not only save the power against the Qin dynasty, but also avoid a loss of life. With this alone, we can't say that he is a loser.
five years later, he went to Han Xin's account as a counselor. At this time, Han Xin was going to attack Qi. Originally, the army was ready to attack. Unexpectedly, he received an order from Hanwang that Li Shi had been sent to Qi to persuade him.
So, when the army was ready to return, Kuai Tong came forward and said to Han Xin, "If you feed a mere civil servant, you can convince Qi, but the general leads a great army, and you are afraid that you can't attack Qi? This credit has been robbed by eating it. "
So, Han Xin listened to his advice and immediately attacked Qi. Originally, after being persuaded by Qi, Qi weakened the defense line, which led Han Xin's troops to attack Linzi in one fell swoop. After that, there was Han Xin, with hundreds of thousands of mercenaries.
