Although Xiao He was hypocritical to Han Xin, Liu Bang named him Xiangguo
The year 203 BC was the most critical year of the Chu-Han War, and the war situation changed dramatically.
Xiang Yu was unable to give full play to his advantages at first, and even fell into a desperate situation of running out of food. But Liu Bang's situation is very good, he walked down step by step, behind him was a large amount of grain and grass from Xiao He's troops, and in front of him was the battlefield.
At this time, there was no suspense about the outcome of the Chu-Han War, and Xiang Yu could only make a last stand. Due to Han Xin's participation, Xiang Yu, who was invincible at first, was besieged, and under the embattlement, Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang, and the Chu-Han War ended.
Liu Bang killed Xiang Yu, and he could see that he was in a good mood. Seeing this, the gentlemen naturally thought that it was time to come up with some appropriate skills, so everyone worked together"Persuade Liu Bang to take place", the names are all the same, and there is only one purpose - to persuade Liu Bang to be the emperor.
Liu Bang looked at the position of the strategist with mixed feelings, maybe he himself felt like in a dream, from a small pavilion chief to the most powerful emperor, maybe he didn't dare to think about it.
In February 202 AD, Liu Bang officially ascended the throne as emperor. In order to show the joy of the monarchs and ministers, he held a grand banquet for them in the South Palace of Luoyang:
Come on, let's talk about it, why did Liu Bang win and Xiang Yu lose?
So everyone expressed their opinions, but the tone was the same, strongly condemning Xiang Yu for being bad, and praising Liu Bang for being very good.
Liu Bang smiled: You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. I can dominate the world because I have outstanding talents like Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin, while Xiang Yu only has one Fan Zeng, and he has no name yet.
According to Liu Bang, they were all silent for a while, but the names of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty became louder and louder. Among the three masters, Han Xin's fate was undoubtedly the most unfortunate, when he was executed by Empress Lu, Xiao He inadvertently said something that Liu Bang wanted to hear, and was directly appointed prime minister.
Let's see what exactly Shaw says.
Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon.
After the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the remnants of the nobles of the six countries destroyed by Qin returned to the Qin Dynasty one after another, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang resolutely joined and accepted Xiong Xin, the king of Chu Huai, as the main leader, and the military operations were more unified.
But Xiang Yu's power is monstrous, and King Chu Huai is like a puppet in his hands. In order to get rid of Xiang Yu's control, King Chu Huai ordered the princes: King Guanzhong was the first to enter the pass.
Later, when Xiang Yu and Zhang Han confronted each other, King Chu Huai signaled Liu Bang to take a shortcut to enter the customs, but Liu Bang was not polite, he really entered the customs first, accepted the surrender of Prince Ying of Qin, and became the first person to destroy Qin.
After a series of actions at the Hongmen banquet, Liu Bang was out of danger, but Xiang Yu was not stupid. In order to stabilize Liu Bang, he divided Guanzhong into three and gave it to three loyal Qin Dynasty generals, sealed Liu Bang in the distant Hanzhong, and named him the king of Han.
Liu Bang was furious and wanted to fight Xiang Yu to the death, but under the strong persuasion of Xiao He and Zhang Liang, he finally decided to retire and recuperate, train soldiers, gather talents, and wait for the opportunity to fight Xiang Yu again.
However, Liu Bang never recognized her talent, and only appointed her as a small official in charge of grain and grass. Han Xin was depressed and borrowed wine to drown his sorrows.
As the Minister of Logistics, Xiao He is of course responsible for managing grain and grass. By chance, he came into contact with Han Xin, and after an in-depth conversation, Han Xin saw that he was brave and strategic, so he recommended him to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang was always not interested in him.
Han Xin saw that he was not taken seriously, so he left the Han camp angrily. After Xiao He found out, he didn't even have time to report Liu Bang, so he went to chase Han Xin.
Liu Bang thought that Xiao He had escaped, panicked as if he had lost his right hand, and hurriedly sent someone to find Xiao He.
Xiao He plans to trap Han Xin.
After a day or two, Xiao He came back alone. Liu Bang was shocked and angry, and asked Xiao He why he ran away, and Xiao He replied:"I'm not running away, I'm chasing the escapees.
Liu Bang inquired carefully, only to know that Xiao He chased Han Xin, and Han Xin ran away because he was not appreciated, so Liu Bang wanted to make Han Xin a general, but Xiao He said that in this way, Han Xin would still run away, and only by making him a general.
The addition of Han Xin fundamentally changed the balance of power between Chu and Han in the struggle for hegemony. As a result, under Han Xin's outstanding military command, Liu Bang's military strength became stronger and stronger, and he was finally able to defeat the overlord of Western Chu.
In the battle of Qixia, Han Xin was extremely brave and won half of the country for Liu Bang, of course, he was rewarded richly, but Liu Bang was also very jealous of him.
At the instigation of Han Xin, Chen Feng rebelled against Liu Bang, Liu Bang personally went to quell the rebellion, and Han Xin said that he was sick and stayed in Chang'an. Lu Pheasant, who was sitting in the capital, thought that it was too dangerous to do so, so he asked Xiao He to discuss Han Xin's transfer.
Xiao He did not hesitate, and directly came up with a plan, asking Empress Lu to send someone to falsely tell Han Xin, saying that Chen Feng had been beheaded, and let Han Xin enter the palace to congratulate. In order to convince Han Xin, Xiao He did not hesitate to persuade Han Xin to enter the palace by himself to avoid Liu Bang's suspicion.
Han Xin thought that he was entering the palace to seek peace, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the palace, he was tied up by the people arrested by Empress Lu and escorted directly to Changle Palace, which led to Han Xin's death.
Xiao He took another step and stepped on Han Xin's corpse.
After Han Xin's death, Xiao He had mixed feelings, but he also saw Han Xin's huge crisis.
When Liu Bang returned from the Chen Feng rebellion, everything was doomed. He didn't expect Empress Lu and Xiao He to get rid of Han Xin, who he was most afraid of, so he was naturally overjoyed.
As soon as Liu Bang was happy, Xiao He took the opportunity to say a wrong thing:
I, Xiao He, would like to kill Han Xin, but I will live up to the world...
Xiao He obviously told Liu Bang this on purpose, so as not to disappoint the world when he got rid of Han Xin.
This describes Han Xin as a rebel and a thief, and he did this to eliminate evil and share the emperor's worries.
I don't know if Xiao He would have thought that he had Han Xin as a confidant, and he was even not afraid of hardships and dangers, chasing Han Xin under the moon, if so, looking at the aura and strategy on his cold face, he was really a dragon and a phoenix among people.
Of course, Liu Bang couldn't be too angry when he heard Xiao He show his loyalty like this, after all, he used Han Xin to fight the world when he succeeded, and he got rid of Han Xin after his success, which is also very good.
As a result, Liu Bang appointed Xiao He as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the number of food estates increased to 5,000. In order to show Xiao He's difference, he also arranged a five-hundred-member minister's guard for Xiao He, which is recorded in "Historical Records - Xiao Xiangguo's Family":
After the emperor learned the news of the punishment of the Marquis of Huaiyin, he appointed the prime minister He as the post minister, and appointed 5,000 households and 500 people as the national guard.
Xiao He stepped on Han Xin's corpse and took another step forward, Xiao He didn't know if Han Xin would always be a chess piece in Xiao He's eyes, a chess piece that could bring him success.
Date of convocation, etc.
