In the long river of history, many outstanding famous generals have emerged, who have led the army to victory in battles and won many battles, created immortal battle merits, and become immortal heroes in history. However, there are also some famous generals, although heroic, but after achieving fame, they fell into an irreversible fate, and finally ended in tragedy. The five famous generals were Han Xin, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, Lan Yu, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Nian Xianyao, a famous general of the Qing Dynasty. Their life stories are legendary, however, they all ended up with tragic ends.
Han Xin, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, was full of miracles in his life. He was born into a poor family, his parents died young, and his fate was in danger. However, his intelligence and military talent allowed him to rise to prominence on the stage of history. Han Xin served under Xiang Yu, but was not taken seriously. Later, he was appreciated by Xiao He and introduced to Liu Bang. Under Liu Bang, Han Xin rose to prominence and was quickly promoted to general. He commanded many battles, showed excellent command skills, and changed the situation of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony. However, despite being a great military wizard, he was killed in 196 BC on charges of "treason" at the age of 35. His tragedy stemmed from several reasons: the tearing of the covenant without permission, which led to his death; Self-petition to be crowned king, which caused contradictions; Liu Bang begged him, and he took the opportunity to ask for a fief, causing Liu Bang's dissatisfaction. Han Xin's tragedy teaches us that even high-ranking generals should not be greedy and ambitious.
Lan Yu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, is famous for his heroic deeds in the southern conquests and northern wars. He helped Zhu Yuanzhang stabilize Jiangshan and fight against the power of the Yuan Dynasty, and was praised as Wei Qing and Li Jing at that time. However, in 1393, Lan Yu was accused of "conspiracy", and Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he beheaded him. The tragic causes of Blue Jade include: the crime of precaution, killing Mao Wenlong without authorization; exaggerating one's own achievements; Rampant and overbearing, cultivating personal cronies. These actions cost him the emperor's trust, which ultimately led to his tragic end.
Yuan Chonghuan was a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, known for his excellent command and bravery and fearlessness. However, under the reign of the Chongzhen Emperor, he was accused of "treason" and eventually executed. The reasons for Yuan Chonghuan's tragedy include: the crime of precaution, killing Mao Wenlong without authorization; exaggerating one's own achievements; Privately interfering in the emperor's household affairs violated Chongzhen's taboo. These factors combined to lead to his unfortunate fate.
Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, was known for his bravery and loyalty. However, he violated Zhao's taboo in proposing to establish a crown prince and interfere in the emperor's household affairs at the imperial court, and was eventually given death. Yue Fei's tragedy taught us that the road of loyalty should also be cautious and not touch the emperor's bottom line.
The famous Qing dynasty general Nian Xinyao was an important official during the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, and was trusted and treated with courtesy by the Yongzheng. However, Nian Xinyao was finally stripped of his official title by Yongzheng because of his high meritorious service, his good deeds, and his alliance with the party for personal gain, and he committed suicide under the list of 92 major crimes. Nian Xinyao's tragedy stemmed from his pride and intrigue, which eventually led to his demise.
The stories of these five famous generals tell us that despite their great success on the battlefield, their fate was ultimately mortally threatened in the face of court politics and imperial power. Their tragedy teaches us that even military wizards cannot ignore the fragility of political intrigue and imperial power.
