“楚方急围汉王于荥阳”辨析

The Discrimination of Chu's Siege of Han-king at Xing-yang

韩信求封“假王”之事,一直被学术界认为“借机争权”或“居功要挟以求利”。仔细分析史料,我们发现,当时不管是从楚汉双方力量对比,还是战争发展的态势,汉王刘邦均已掌握了战争的主动权,韩信求封,并非是邀功请赏,而是从亡楚兴汉的战略目的出发,增强对齐这一战略要地的控制力量。刘邦执行军功封赏的原则,分封韩信为齐王,既顺应了时代潮流,又能够利用韩信的势力,稳定齐这一战略要地的局势,为取得楚汉战争的最后胜利奠定了坚实的基础。

Han-xin＇asking for “Furlough-King” has been throught “to scrabble for the authority” or “take credit to himself in order to benefit” by the academe.Earnestly analyzing historical data, we are to dig out that Liu-Bang had masteried not only the powers of Chu and Han but also the development posture of the war. Han-xin asking for “Furlough-King” was to strengthen the military power in order to control Qi, not to take credit for his merit. Curriing out the principle of military exploit＇s reward, Liu-bang nominated Han-xin as Qi＇s king, not only to go with the tide of historical development, but also to make use of Han-xin＇s force to stabilize the Qi＇s situation, and lay solid foundation for the final victory of the Chu-Han＇s war.
