Lin Bai's post maintained its usual concise and straightforward style. In a certain context, a particular event was shared. With an extremely succinct and precise expression, the achievements of Han Xin were gradually laid out before everyone.
At that moment, people began to awaken from their slumber. It turned out that within the long and profound history of the Dragon Kingdom, there existed a general whose military prowess seemed almost divine, deeply buried in layers of thick and impenetrable historical fog.
It was because of Han Xin that during the critical period of the Chu-Han Contention, which determined the fate of the world, he vividly showcased extraordinary and unparalleled military talent. He skillfully employed the brilliant strategy of feigning an attack while secretly advancing, breaking through the enemy's seemingly impenetrable defenses.
With the determination of fighting with their backs against the wall, he turned desperate circumstances into triumphs. Despite being outnumbered, he achieved a glorious victory, causing the enemy forces to collapse like a house of cards.
In the Battle of Gaixia, he meticulously planned an ambush from all sides, creating a situation where the enemy was surrounded on all fronts. This ultimately forced the Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu to take his own life at the Wu River in a tragic conclusion.
Han Xin was not only an outstanding military commander but also a strategist with profound foresight. He excelled at discerning situations and accurately grasping the direction of warfare. His command was flexible and varied, with tactics that were uniquely ingenious.
He endured humiliation and hardship, able to bend and stretch as needed; his early experiences forged his unyielding will. He contributed significantly to Liu Bang's establishment of the grand Han Dynasty, leaving behind an indelible legacy.
Moreover, Han Xin was loyal; despite holding significant military power, he never harbored ambitions for himself and devoted his efforts solely to Liu Bang's imperial cause. Yet, such a renowned general ultimately did not meet a good end.
After establishing the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang became increasingly suspicious of his ministers, and Han Xin was no exception. Someone falsely accused Han Xin of plotting rebellion, and Liu Bang, already wary of Han Xin's formidable power, seized the opportunity to demote him to Huaiyin Marquis. Despite Han Xin's repeated declarations of loyalty, Liu Bang's doubts remained unshaken. Ultimately, Empress Lü and Xiao He conspired to lure Han Xin to Changle Palace, where they cruelly murdered him.
Han Xin's death was a source of deep regret and became one of history's great tragedies. His military thought and strategic wisdom had a profound impact on future generations, marking him as a brilliant star in ancient Chinese military history. However, it is surprising that all this has been forgotten. Whether this was intentional or merely coincidental remains unclear, as does the existence of some unknown, deeply hidden reasons behind it.
Yet, is the content of Lin Baihua's post truly credible? Can it really be trusted? This question loomed over everyone's minds like a dark cloud. Internet users engaged in heated debates over this issue. One side vehemently argued that it must be false, claiming that Han Xin was entirely fabricated and that such a figure never existed in history. They insisted that there were no unknown generals and that Lin Bai was simply concocting stories for attention.
On the other hand, another user quickly countered: How could Professor Lin Bai possibly lie? You are being too extreme! Didn't the cases of Bai Qi and Yue Fei prove to be true? Why should we dismiss Han Xin's existence this time? Perhaps there were indeed hidden truths we were unaware of before. It seems suspicious that someone so remarkable as Han Xin has never been mentioned in official histories.
You just refuse to believe that our country had such heroic figures. Professor Lin Bai has studied history extensively; his professional competence and rigorous attitude are well recognized. But we cannot blindly trust everything without solid evidence. To accept Han Xin's existence based solely on one post from Professor Lin Bai is too hasty. Evidence? What about the awakenings of Bai Qi and Yue Fei? Isn't that compelling evidence?
That doesn't guarantee that it's always right. Perhaps this time it was just a mistake.
A mistake? You just can't stand to see more heroes from our country being discovered; you're jealous of Professor Lin Bai's achievements.
Don't put labels on us; we are just looking at things rationally. We can't easily believe in things without evidence.
Professor Lin Bai's research is the evidence; every one of his viewpoints has been carefully considered.
But what if he is wrong this time?
Impossible. Professor Lin Bai has never made a mistake.
You are blindly worshiping him without any independent thought.
You are maliciously speculating and deliberately smearing his name.
Both sides held their ground, arguing endlessly, and the entire internet was filled with a heated atmosphere of debate.
Meanwhile, a group of self-proclaimed public intellectuals began to surge forth like a tide.
All their forces turned against Lin Bai, launching a storm of criticism.
They were like sharks sensing blood, eagerly revealing their vicious faces.
Their starting point was the tale of Han Xin.
They did not hesitate at all, resolutely concluding that the figure of Han Xin was entirely fictional.
From this, they recklessly inferred that Lin Bai was stealing fame.
What was even worse was that they added some outrageous and malicious speculations.
For instance, they baselessly claimed that Lin Bai had stolen important data originally belonging to the university's research body.
Or they maliciously gossiped that Lin Bai was the illegitimate son of some powerful bigwig, which allowed him to use such special connections to build his reputation nationwide.
They even resorted to extremely vulgar and crude language to attack Lin Bai's appearance, mocking him for being ugly and claiming he achieved his current status through improper means.
They fabricated rumors that Lin Bai's private life was chaotic and that he had ambiguous relationships with multiple women.
They shamelessly claimed that the videos of the rescues were fake. As for the so-called "Terminal Illness," it was an absurd lie. They asserted with great confidence that Lin Bai must be completely unharmed and unaffected. After all, those who had been attacked by Exotic Species had almost universally ended up with lifelong disabilities.
In order to tarnish Lin Bai's reputation, they even distorted the facts and took things out of context, magnifying irrelevant details to mislead the public. There had never been a case like Lin Bai's, where someone on the brink of death showed no signs of any problems at all. Remarkably, he was still able to post videos and updates day after day.
They seized upon this situation, concocting various conspiracy theories to explain it away. They suggested that Lin Bai was a puppet controlled by some mysterious organization with hidden motives. Some even maliciously speculated that Lin Bai was deliberately creating topics to attract attention for undisclosed financial gains.
These public intellectuals had long been manipulating the public opinion in Dragon Kingdom, effortlessly redirecting the attention of netizens who were originally engaged in heated debates toward a completely new direction. They stirred up trouble online, turning truth into falsehoods, and for their own selfish interests, they created a chaotic environment in the realm of public discourse!
