Here's the translation of "The General Who Won Three Empires" into English: **The General Who Conquered Three Empires** Alternatively, if you want a more literal translation: **The General Who Won Three Empires** Both are correct, but "conquered" might sound more natural in English depending on the context.
From begging for meals at strangers' tables and enduring humiliation in the marketplace, to commanding a million troops—the greatest military genius of the early Han Dynasty, ultimately undone by his own emperor.
Han Xin was born into poverty in Huaiyin. So destitute was he that he often ate at others' tables and was frequently ridiculed. The greatest humiliation came when, to avoid a brawl, he crawled between the legs of a man in the marketplace. He joined Xiang Yu's army as a common soldier but never gained recognition. He then defected to the Han side and served under Liu Bang as a low-ranking officer. One night, Prime Minister Xiao He rode after Han Xin as he fled the camp, saying, "If you flee again, you will die—but you possess great talent!" Xiao He recommended him to Liu Bang, who appointed him a general. Thereafter, Han Xin won battle after battle—annihilating Qi, destroying Wei, and defeating Chu. He conquered three kingdoms for Liu Bang. Yet he was never fully trusted. When someone informed Liu Bang that Han Xin might rebel, Liu Bang had him seized. At Gaixia, Han Xin was executed by a bamboo pole in a woman's home. His genius and his tragedy were equally complete.
