Explanation

Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. 4. Ancient text: The more the better

In the first year of Han Dynasty (206 BC), Han Xin defected from Chu to Han and followed Liu Bang, the king of Han Dynasty, to Nanzheng (today's Hantai District, Hanzhong City). This seven-foot tall man who once "begged for food and drifted away from his mother" and "had his crotch humiliated" was not a coward, but a wise and foolish general. Han Xin, who was entrusted by Liu Bang with the minor post of "Captain of Grain Control", often talked about his failure in front of the Prime Minister Xiao He. Xiao He discovered that Han Xin was a military wizard with "unparalleled national scholars", so he recommended him to the King of Han. Liu Bang finally adopted Xiao He's suggestion, set up an altar in Hanzhong to worship generals, and granted Han Xin the power to command the three armies. The talented and strategist Han Xing built a plank road in the Ming Dynasty and secretly conquered the Three Qin Dynasty through Chen Cang's plan. Later, he went to the Central Plains to eliminate Xiang Yu and win the world for Liu Bang. He became the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty.

According to "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", Han Xin, a native of Huaiyin (now southwest of Qingjiang, Jiangsu), was good at leading troops in war. Liu Bang deepened his understanding of Han Xin from actual combat. He often discussed with Han Xin the strategies of leading troops in war, and also commented on the generals' ability to lead troops. Once Liu Bang asked Han Xin: "How much can I general?" The letter said: "Your Majesty can only general one hundred thousand." He said: "How about you?" He said: "The more ministers, the better the ears" ("Historical Records: Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin") . This dialogue says that the King of Han asked: "In your opinion, how many troops can I bring?" Han Xin replied: "You can bring up to one hundred thousand." The King of Han asked again: "Then, how many troops can you bring?" Han Xin replied: "I The more the merrier,” that is, the more the better. Later, people summarized this allusion as "Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better."

In May of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (201 BC), Liu Bang cut off all the heroes and conquered the world. He held the Nangong Palace in Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan) A banquet was held to honor the founding heroes. At the celebration banquet, the King of Han praised Han Xin's achievements: "With an army of millions, we will win the battle and win the victory. I am not as good as Han Xin" ("Historical Records: The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu"). Liu Bang also admitted that he was not as good as Han Xin in leading his own troops. Later, "Han Xin ordered troops, the more the better" was simplified to "The more the better". Now, this conventional phrase means more is better. 5. Classical Chinese Translation
