At that time, there was a young man in Huaiyin butcher who humiliated Han Xin and asked Han Xin to drill into his crotch. After Han Xin saw it, he emerged from his crotch. So young people laughed and said that Han Xin had no backbone and no talent. This is the famous "crotch shame".
After the Chen Guang uprising, Han Xin belonged to the army of Xiang Liang, and was later assigned to the army of Xiang Yu, where he became a doctor. When he was an official, he gave Xiang Yu many suggestions, but none of them were adopted.
After Liu Bang entered the Han Dynasty, Han Xin followed Liu Bang as a small official in charge of the warehouse. Han Xin experienced two consecutive sittings in his life. Killed 13 people in the first court session, leaving him alone. But he looked up at Xia Houying and said that Hanwang would not win the world. Why did he kill a strong man?
Tenggong Xia Houying thinks this man is very interesting. At that time, Han Xinsheng was kind and handsome, so he let him go and advised Liu Bang, but Liu Bang thought that he was a small official and didn't take him seriously, while Xiao He, the prime minister of Liu Bang, noticed this nobody. After Liu Bang sealed Hanwang, dozens of officials fled on their way to the territory, but when Xiao He heard that Han Xin had escaped,
Even before Liu Bang left, he rode out overnight. Hearing this, Liu Bang was furious, as if his right-hand man had been taken away. A few days later, Xiao He came back. Liu Bang said how you ran away, and Xiao He said I didn't. I'm chasing a man named Han Xin.
Liu bang said why you want to chase him. Xiao He said, because Han Xin is a talented general, if you want to be Hanwang, you don't need him, but if you want to win the world, then Han Xin is an indispensable candidate, but if you don't give it to General Han, he will still run away.
So Liu named General Bill Han, and listened to Xiao He's words, and completed the award with a formal ceremony. The whole army was surprised to hear that it was Han Xin. But Han Xin played a very important role in numerous subsequent battles.
However, after Liu Bang pacified the world, he was afraid that the powerful ministers around him would compete for their own power, so he wanted to weaken their power. Among them, the most powerful Han Xin is the biggest target. So Liu Bangyong captured Han Xin alive, and after being escorted back to Beijing, he read his merits without killing him, and made him a knight and a Huaiyin Hou. But after being cut, Han Xin felt that his efforts for so many years were in vain, and he was very angry.
Lv Hou always wanted to kill Han Xin, but he was afraid that he could not be cured. So Xiao He lied about Chen Xibing's defeat and invited Han Xin to the palace to celebrate. Han Xin didn't expect the person who recommended him to kill him, so he was taken down as soon as he entered the palace. Lv Hou took Han Xin to Changle Palace and killed him.
So people who have recommended themselves before may kill you in turn. You should always correct your words and deeds in your life, don't cross the line, and be alert to others.

Idiom allusions, this idiom comes from Historical Records Biography of Huaiyin Hou.
At the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty, there was a man named Han Xin in Huaiyin (now Jiangsu Province). He lived a lonely life when he was young and was looked down upon. Later, Han Xin defected to Xiang Yu and took part in the anti-Qin movement. He once put forward some operational suggestions to Xiang Yu, but none of them were adopted. Han Xin saw that his talents could not be put to good use, so he turned to Liu Bang.
At first, Liu Bang didn't reuse Han Xin, but made him a small official. He once committed a military law and was almost put to death. After death, he was only allowed to be a small official in charge of grain and grass (a captain in charge of millet). By chance, Han Xin met Xiao He. Xiao He is Liu Bang's confidant, and Liu Bang is obedient to him.
After a long talk with Han Xin, Xiao He admired Han Xin and thought that Han Xin was a rare military genius. However, just when Xiao He decided to recommend Han Xin to Liu Bang, Han took it away.
It turns out that most of Liu Bang's subordinates are from Xuzhou. Liu bang sealed Hanwang, and the fief was in Hanzhong, which was narrow and difficult to develop. So, his men fled because they were homesick. Han Xin saw that Liu Bang didn't mean to reuse himself and ran away.
Xiao He was worried when he learned that Han Xin had escaped. Before reporting to Liu Bang, he jumped on horseback and chased Han Xin back overnight. Liu thought Xiaohe had escaped, too, and was very angry. Later, I learned that Xiao He personally recovered Han Xin, an obscure little official, and called Xiao He a mountain out of a molehill.
Xiao He introduced the situation of Han Xin to Liu Bang in detail, and then said: "Han Xin has outstanding military talents, not ordinary talents. If you are willing to be the king of Hanzhong all your life, if you want to seize the world, you must reuse this person. " Thanks to Xiao He's recommendation, Liu Bang finally agreed to worship Han Xin as a general, and chose an auspicious day to hold a grand ceremony to worship the general.
After being worshipped as a general by Liu Bang, Han Xin gave full play to his military talents and made great contributions to Liu Bang's unification of the world and the establishment of the Han Dynasty. However, after Liu Bang became emperor, he became more and more uneasy about Han Xin. First of all, Han Xin was relieved of military power and changed from "King of Qi" to "King of Chu"; Soon, Han Xin was arrested again; After the pardon, only one "Huaiyin Hou" was sealed.
Han Xin lives in Chang 'an, depressed and frustrated. He was framed for rebellion and reported to Liu Bang's wife, Lv Hou. Lv Hou wanted to get rid of Han Xin, but he was afraid that he wouldn't give in, so he consulted with Xiao He. Finally, Xiao He tricked Han Xin into the palace, and Lv Hou killed Han Xin in the bell room of Changle Palace on charges of rebellion.
According to this history, later generations derived the idiom "success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He", which means that the success or failure of things is due to the same person.
