The origin of express.
Kuai Tong's family background is recorded. Fanyang, the old city, was born at the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty. Its original name was Kuaiche, and it was renamed Kuai Tong because it was the same as the later historians of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. What he did before he appeared, whose student he was, and even his age were not clear. Later historians didn't find more historical materials about Kuaiche, except that he was good at vertical and horizontal techniques and wrote books about the contingency of the Warring States. Probably making a living by looking at faces.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Wufeng, a rebel general, was ordered by Chen Sheng to attack Zhao in the north. At this moment, Kuai Tong suddenly appeared. It turned out that Chen Wu asked Kuai Tong to test the victory or defeat of this battle before the war to see if he could win. Kuai Tong should be a famous fortuneteller at that time, but he was not just a fortuneteller, so he volunteered to say that the magistrate of Fanyang had surrendered. When Kuai Tong went to lobby the county magistrate of john young, he introduced himself simply by lobbying strategy. First of all, he said that the county magistrate of john young was dying, and he expressed his condolences in advance, which immediately attracted the attention of Xu Gong. Then he said Xu Gong wouldn't have to die because he met himself. A surprised a happy let john young county magistrate had to ask KuaiChe what's going on.
Kuaiche told Xu, the then magistrate of Fanyang County, that he was very interested in it. First of all, it is clear that Xu Gong, the magistrate of Fanyang County, killed many people according to the law of Daqin. Now the laws of the Qin Dynasty are harsh, the monarch is cruel, and the people can't survive. There was chaos in the world, and the laws of the Qin Dynasty no longer worked. The fathers, brothers and sons of those who were slaughtered will take this opportunity to come to you for revenge. Kuaiche's analysis is well-founded, and Xu Gong also understands that even if those people are punished by law, it is inevitable that some people will retaliate against the officials responsible for punishment during the riots.
He said that he sent someone to ask, and told him that if he directly broke through the city to get it, he might be in danger. With my strategy, we can win a city of thousands of miles without fighting. Successfully persuaded Chen Wu to agree to the generous proposal of senior officials.
So what's the strategy? Even more, Fan Yang county magistrate took the lead in surrendering. Chen Wu gave Fan Yang county magistrate the favor and glory, and he also showed off Xu Gong in a luxurious carriage. In this way, the generals in the capital who did not surrender but wanted to surrender would scramble to come and defect. Sure enough, Chen Wu adopted this strategy, and more than 30 cities in Zhao Yan surrendered one after another.
As soon as Kuai Tong appeared, he helped Chen Sheng insurgents win more than 30 cities without fighting. It can be said that he not only went down in history, but also saved many lives.
Kuai Tong followed Han Xin.
Kuai Tong and his good friend An Shuaisheng went to Xiang Yu's men for an appointment. Xiang Yu just wanted them to have a title without their tricks. They couldn't realize their obligation to show their talents, so they not only refused to accept it, but also ran away. Five years after Kuaiche announced the order to surrender to john young, Kuaiche appeared beside Han Xin as a counselor. How did Kuaiche get to Han Xin's side, and why did he choose to be Han Xin's counselor?
There is no autobiography of Kuaiche in Historical Records, and there is no detailed record of his life in historical books. He is only mentioned more or less in other people's biographies. Before going to Han Xin, Kuaiche also spent some time under Xiang Yu and chose to flee to Han Xin. Among them, in Zhang Er's biography, Kuaiche wrote several things when he was a counselor under Han Xin.
When Han Xin was ready to attack the State of Qi, Shi Li said that he had surrendered to the King of Qi, and Han Xin was ready to stop attacking. At this moment, Kuai Tong appeared again. Kuai Tong asked Han Xin: "Does Hanwang have an imperial decree to stop the general from attacking Qi?" And give Han Xin an analysis of why Hanwang knew that Shi Li said he would drop Qi but didn't order to stop the attack. Han Xin followed Kuai Tong's advice and continued to attack Qi. Later generations thought that Han Xin Kuaiche was jealous of Shili, in fact, it was mainly to prevent Liu Bang's stratagem from being forced to protect himself.
Han Xin wanted to be the King of Qi after he captured the State of Qi, and let the King guard the State of Qi temporarily. Although Liu Bang was very angry, he listened to Sean's plan and pretended to be happy and generous to make Han Xin King of Qi. At this time, in fact, three strongest forces were formed, namely Liu Bang, Xiang Yu and Han Xin. As all major power groups know, this is the most critical moment. Whoever can win Han Xin will win the world. Therefore, Xiang Yu sent Wu She to persuade Han Xin to join forces with the King of Chu to attack Liu Bang. In fact, Han Xin followed the King of Chu at first, but it was not reused. Then he switched to Hanwang, whose men are all knowledgeable. After recommending Han Xin many times, Han Xin was able to show his talents as a general. After Han Xin hesitated, Liu Bang refused the military intervention out of gratitude to him.
