Chapter 83: Natural Talent
As the eunuchs opened the seal, a name appeared in front of everyone:
Han Xin!
Chen Qilin's mouth curled up slightly, and he said to himself: "It's him!"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Qilin curiously and said: "Sir, do you know Han Xin?"
Fusu, Li Si and Wang Ben also focused their eyes on the gentleman.
Chen Qilin said: "I know him, but I don't know him either!"
"What do you mean, sir?" Ying Zheng asked.
Others became more and more curious.
Chen Qilin said casually: "I have deduced the future talents of the Qin Dynasty, and among them is 'Han Xin'."
"Oh, then what about this person's ability to command troops? Is he as good as the military strategy theory he wrote?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.
He believed that the gentleman had the ability to know the past and predict the future!
Chen Qilin simply answered with four words:
"Born as a handsome man!"
Although the four words are simple, they are extremely important!
Han Xin is absolutely worthy of these four words.
He will win every battle and conquer every attack!
Han Xin started his career by trying his hand at the Battle of Three Qins, and then he trapped and killed the King of Chu, Xiang Yu, in the Battle of Gaixia. He never lost a battle in his life, and he had many classics and strategies.
He left behind a large number of tactical allusions:
For example, he repaired the plank road in the open and crossed Chencang secretly; he set up a suspicious situation in Linjin; he crossed the river secretly in Xiayang... he was surrounded by enemies on all sides and ambushed on all sides, etc.
Han Xin was the most outstanding general after Sun Wu and Bai Qi, and a representative of the military strategy school.
The above is just a look at Han Xin from a specific tactical perspective.
In terms of strategy, Han Xin was also a top military strategist.
Han Xin's remarks when Liu Bang appointed him as a general in Hanzhong later became the fundamental strategy to guide the victory of the Chu-Han War.
Although Han Xin's military talent was unmatched, he was almost an idiot in politics...
After achieving many victories, he actually asked Liu Bang to make him a king, which was a taboo for a minister!
Han Xin was also arrogant and looked down on others.
When someone accused Han Xin of treason, not only did no one in the court speak for him, but they also rushed to lead troops to capture Han Xin.
The generals were eager to bring Han Xin down.
When Han Xin was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, he passed by Fan Kuai's house.
When Fan Kuai saw him, he still knelt on the ground to greet Han Xin with the etiquette of a prince.
But Han Xin said:
I didn't expect that I would be reduced to being with a person like Fan Kuai!
The implication was that he should be higher than Fan Kuai and felt ashamed of being with Fan Kuai!
However, Han Xin and Fan Kuai were of the same level at this time, and Fan Kuai had another identity, being Liu Bang's brother-in-law.
Handling interpersonal relationships in this way shows that Han Xin had great shortcomings in dealing with people.
Although Han Xin had many shortcomings in other aspects except military achievements, his brilliant military achievements were enough to make him famous in history.
…
When Chen Qilin finished saying the words "natural talent", Ying Zheng, Fusu, Li Si and Wang Ben were all slightly stunned.
This evaluation is really too high!
Chen Qilin glanced at Ying Zheng and suggested:
"Han Xin's military talent is unmatched in the world. Your Majesty can let him be the commander of a region in the future!
In addition, Han Xin is lacking in interpersonal relationships and politics, and Your Majesty needs to be more tolerant.
But Han Xin's loyalty is not a problem!"
Chen Qilin saw that Han Xin was a rare talent, so he said a few words to Ying Zheng in advance to give him a shot of prevention!
He hoped that Han Xin would not be like following Liu Bang, who had outstanding achievements but ended up with a tragic ending of death and extinction of his clan!
There is a legend about Han Xin's death:
Liu Bang once promised that as long as Han Xin "stands upright in the land of Han, he will never use weapons on himself."
So when Han Xin was killed, Empress Lü hung Han Xin in the air in the big bell of Changle Palace.
His head was covered by a big bell and he could not see the sun, and his feet were suspended in the air.
In this way, he could not stand upright!
It was not the swords that killed Han Xin, but the palace maids holding hammers, who rushed up and beat Han Xin to death.
Liu Bang and Empress Lu did not break their original promise.
Ying Zheng came to his senses, nodded and promised:
"Don't worry, sir, I will naturally use those who have talents and make the best use of their talents!
As long as they are loyal to my Qin, I will definitely not harm them!"
Chen Qilin knew that with Ying Zheng's promise, Han Xin should not end up dead and his family exterminated.
"Sir, is this Han Xin really that amazing?" Wang Ben, who was also a general, said in disbelief.
Chen Qilin just smiled: "Tong Wu Hou, you will know whether Han Xin is powerful or not in the future!"
Then, Ying Zheng ordered people to remove the seal of Wu Bangyan, revealing another name:
Peng Yue!
Seeing this, Chen Qilin's mouth curled up again.
What a coincidence, the two most important generals who helped Liu Bang conquer the world are now on the list at the same time!
Ying Zheng saw the gentleman's expression and asked: "Sir, have you also calculated this Peng Yue?"
Fusu, Li Si and Wang Ben also looked at the gentleman closely!
Chen Qilin said: "Your Majesty, I did calculate it! This Peng Yue is also a rare military general! He is a genius in guerrilla warfare!"
Peng Yue was the first military strategist in the history of world wars to use guerrilla warfare tactics regularly, and he was the ancestor of guerrilla warfare.
In terms of military strategy and command ability, he is not as good as Han Xin, but in terms of achievements, he is not inferior at all.
In the Chu-Han War, it was Peng Yue who carried out guerrilla warfare in the rear of the Chu army, attacked the Chu supply, and used the tactics of retreating when the enemy advances and chasing when the enemy retreats, so that Xiang Yu was exhausted from fighting on both sides and could not get effective supplies.
This also gave the front-line Han army the opportunity not to be annihilated by Xiang Yu.
Only with Liu Bang's frontal defense, Han Xin's thousand-mile encirclement, and Peng Yue's rear guerrilla warfare, did the Chu-Han War have the opportunity to annihilate Xiang Yu and achieve the final victory in the final battle of Gaixia.
However, Peng Yue's death was more miserable than Han Xin's!
He clearly did not rebel, but in the end, Liu Bang exterminated his three clans on the charge of "rebellion", beheaded him and his body was made into meat soup!
Many famous generals in ancient times could not escape the fate of being killed by the cunning rabbit and cooked by the running dog.
"Guerrilla warfare genius?" Ying Zheng asked.
Chen Qilin briefly told Ying Zheng.
As for the third place Wu Tanhua and the Wu Jinshi behind him, Chen Qilin looked at the names and lost interest.
Many of them came from the powerful and wealthy class.
Their fame and talent were far inferior to Han Xin and Peng Yue.
Chen Qilin believed that with the help of Han Xin, Peng Yue and other super generals, plus the original Wang Jian, Wang Ben, Li Xin, etc., the territory of the Qin Empire would surely expand at a faster speed!
Half an hour later.
Chen Qilin left the palace and returned to Tiandao Tower.
He had completed the palace examination for Ying Zheng and selected the top three and the ranking of the thirty-six military scholars.
The results of the civil imperial examination yesterday have been announced, causing a huge response in the circle of the rich and powerful.
Although the children of the rich and powerful have an absolute advantage in the number of civil scholars, occupying 30 of the 36 seats, the top scholar in literature was obtained by a poor boy.
The rich and powerful have a deep sense of crisis!
If a large number of poor children can read and write in another ten or eight years, what will the children of the rich and powerful have to do with the imperial examination?
Chen Qilin knew that when Ying Zheng announced the results of the military imperial examination tomorrow, it would greatly touch the sensitive nerves of the rich and powerful.
[Ding! Daqin successfully implemented the imperial examination system and successfully held the first civil and military imperial examinations. The host has made an indelible contribution. I will reward you with 2000 Heavenly Dao Points! ]
Suddenly, the system sounded.
