How did Kuai Tong persuade Han Xin?

Kuai Tong said: The stumbling of Qi Ji is not as good as the leisurely walking of a slave horse. Those who do great things should not be fettered by small things. They should be decisive in doing things. Hesitation is the fatal weakness of those who achieve great things.

Kuai Tong's words mainly have three levels of meaning: the first level is the analysis of the current situation; in the current situation, Han Xin has mastered the power to dominate the world. If he supports Liu Bang, Xiang Yu is dead. He supports Xiang Yu, Liu Bang is the one who is destined to die. Whoever you want to die must die. Whoever is allowed to live will have a chance to live. This is a very happy life.

The second level is Han Xin’s strategic choice and consequence analysis. Han Xin had only two choices, either to support Liu Bang or to support Xiang Yu. If he supports Liu Bang, Xiang Yu will lose.

Next, Liu Bang will definitely get rid of Han Xin; because Han Xin has constituted the only force that threatens Liu Bang. Similarly, if Han Xin supports Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu will kill Han Xin after Liu Bang dies, because Han Xin It also constitutes the only force that threatens Xiang Yu.

The third level is Han Xin’s vitality and inevitable choice; Kuai Che sternly pointed out that no matter who Han Xin supports, he will be eliminated by the people he supports. Therefore, Han Xin’s only correct choice is-no one supports it!

The way Kuai Che pointed out to Han Xin was to neither support Liu Bang nor Xiang Yu, but use military power to force them to surrender and compromise, so as to divide the world into three parts and live together as a tripod. If Liu Bang or Xiang Yu dares to be disobedient, they will join forces with another soldier to attack him. Both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, under such circumstances, could only accept their fate and acknowledge Han Xin's authority.

In this way, Han Xin took advantage of Qi's geographical and resource advantages. With a little management, the world fell into Han Xin's hands. The way out for Han Xin was to neither support Liu Bang nor support Liu Bang. Support Xiang Yu, but use military power to force the two to surrender and compromise, divide the world into three parts, and live together as a tripod.

Han Xin’s story:

Han Xin talked with Xiao He many times and was appreciated by Xiao He, but was never reused by Liu Bang, so he took advantage of the moon and left. Xiao He heard that Han Xin had left, and before he could report to Liu Bang, he mounted his horse and chased Han Xin.

After catching up with Han Xin, Xiao He asked Han Xin why he left. Han Xin said: "The King of Han does not trust me and does not need me. There is no point in staying here. I want to join others." Xiao He said: "You Don't leave yet, come back with me. If the King of Han doesn't make you a general this time, it won't be too late for you to leave." After Xiao He's repeated pleas, Han Xin reluctantly went back with Xiao He.
