"Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He" is a proverb, which is a classic summary of the life of Han Xin, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. This sentence comes from Hong Mai's Rong Zhai sequel? "Xiao He to Han Xin" wrote to the general, which was actually recommended by Xiao He. Today, he died and made a plan. Therefore, slang has the expression' success is also Xiao He, failure is also Xiao He'. "
Xiao He was the prime minister of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. He chased Han Xin under the moon and made Han Xin. However, Han Xin's death is also due to his planning, so the success or failure of General Han Xin depends entirely on him, so there is a saying that "success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also me". Han Xin was young and poor, and later went to Xiang Liang, unknown; After being attached to Xiang Yu, he just became a doctor and made several suggestions to Xiang Yu, but none of them were adopted. When Liu Bang entered Shu, Han Xin abandoned Chu for Han and only got the position of usher, but he was almost beheaded for breaking the law. His wild words alarmed Teng Gong and Xia Houying, and he was recommended as the captain to treat Xiaomi. Xiao He found that Han Xin was a wizard and recommended him to Hanwang, but he was still not reused. Han Xin consciously out, then fled with people. Xiao He didn't ask for instructions, so he chased Han Xin under the moon. Later, Han Xin was worshipped as a general, that is, "Ye Cheng Xiao He".
After that, Han Xin and Xiang Yu competed for the Central Plains, which made great contributions to the Han Dynasty and became princes. But then someone accused Han Xin of rebellion, and Liu Bang cut his relieving. Wang Chen rebelled, and Han Xin secretly contacted him, but he was condemned by the retainer. Lv Hou wanted to call Han Xin, fearing that Han Xin would not obey, and consulted with Xiao He. Xiao He wily, sent someone to see Han Xin, saying that he had been captured and killed, and his ministers would go to the palace to offer their condolences. Xiao He deceived Han Xin and said, "Although you are ill, you should go to the palace to congratulate you, lest the emperor be suspicious." Han Xin was confused and stepped into the palace door. He was kidnapped and bound by Lv Hou's crouching knife and axe hand, and was killed in Weiyang Palace. This is "what losers do"
In a word, Xiao He played a key role in Han Xin's life. It's amazing that Han Xin was reused because of him and finally died because of his scheming. Now people use this allusion to describe that the success or failure of things is caused by one person.
