Chapter 68: Xiao and Cao
Although there are ridicules such as the so-called success and defeat of Xiao He in later generations, it is for Han Xin, for the old rascal Liu Bang who founded the Han Dynasty that later generations know very well, Xiao He is the first iron under his command, it can be said that without Xiao He, there would be no later Liu Bang, let alone the later Han Dynasty.
Of course, if according to Yinggao's analysis of this period of history in later generations, Liu Bang's biggest advantage is longevity, in addition to daring to jump out of the rules and being thick-skinned enough, this goods lived for almost seventy years in such an era of material scarcity in the late Qin and early Han dynasties.
However, analysis and analysis, Ying Gao had already speculated according to his memory before coming to Fanyang County, Liu Bang at this time was no longer the pavilion chief of the gang in Pei County, Surabaya County, because of the release of prisoners, he had already fallen to the grass, and he was a thief between Dang and Ershan, doing the business of robbing houses and houses, of course, he would definitely claim to be robbing the rich and helping the poor, in fact, it was just for himself to drink wine and eat meat, all of which were full of routines.
But I don't know why, Xiang Xiaohe, a scholar who is both honest and understands the law and understands things, even eats Liu Bang's set, and the most profound thing in Yinggao's memory is that when Liu Bang ran to the mountains with more than a dozen prisoners and fell into the grass, he was at home at the time in his twenties Lu Pheasant, that is, the real person Yi maker, the famous Lu Hou in history, was directly taken to the prison by the county order of Pei County, and it was Xiao He and Cao Shen, the two brothers, who used their positions to get Lu Pheasant out of prison. Not only that, but he also used the convenience of his position to open up a passage to Mangdang Mountain for Lu Pheasant.
This kind of thing is tacitly understood by many people in the local area, not to mention that Lu Pheasant's father had a good relationship with the county magistrate of Pei County in the early years, so people naturally turned a blind eye, otherwise they would rely on Liu Bang's prisoners to send some people to exterminate him, how could he develop to the point where he was in the later stage.
At this time, the winning high doppelganger lacked skills and had no sergeant to drive, of course, he couldn't go all the way to Mangdang Mountain near Pei County to exterminate Liu Bang, and when he finished dealing with the internal affairs of Daqin, he was worried that Liu Bang, an old hooligan, would develop in Mangdang Mountain, so after thinking about it, he decided to use his existing ability and resources to give Liu Bang a salary from the bottom of the kettle.
In this way, even if he develops in the later period, he will definitely not be able to catch up with his previous life, plus he knows what kind of character this guy is, once he has the opportunity, he will not be like a young man like Xiang Yu, watching this guy slip away from under his crotch......
Liu Bang's most powerful arm, of course, is Xiao He, Yinggao knows that many people around Liu Bang can unite closely around him because of Xiao He, if he can pull Xiao He over for his own use...... That sour, winning high is very useful just to think about it, so there is Xu Gong's secret trip to Pei County.
Fanyang is not very far from Pei County, only less than five hundred miles away, and only half of the land of Xue County is separated in the middle.
As for why Xiao He obediently came back with the county order of a foreign county, he also relied on the several bamboo slips prepared by Yu Yu to win the high news, and on those bamboo slips, there was a power that Xiao He had to come.
But as for why Cao Shen also came, it was not within the Yinggao plan.
Speaking of this Cao Shen, compared with Xiao He, a big coffee with the name of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, of course, his reputation in later generations is more than a little, but Ying Gao knows that people are also people with great talents, in the Han Dynasty created by Liu Bang's little old man, Cao Shen was the prime minister, and he was the second after Xiao He, I haven't heard of Cao Shen's name, it doesn't matter, but 'Xiao Gui Cao Sui', a popular word in later generations, is talking about the two old brothers who were standing in front of Ying Gao in rags at this time.
Although these two old brothers are also in their forties, they are enough to be Yinggao's father in terms of seniority, but Yinggao, who is familiar with history, knows that these two old brothers have the same longevity as Liu Bang's goods, so using his status as the prince of Great Qin and the real Daqin high-ranking official Feng Zheng around him, Yinggao still has a lot of confidence that these two can win.
More importantly, in the hands of Ying Gao, there is evidence of the death penalty of these two people. Therefore, this matter is not up to them.
"You and the others, do you know why I summoned you to Dongjun?"
After observing for a while, Ying Gao did not worship Yunyun as he saw in the novel in his later life, because now he is polite and courteous, and he is the orthodox destiny of the Central Plains, you Xiao He harbored the thief Liu Bang, and if I don't behead you as the son of Emperor Daqin, it will already give you face, so for them, Ying Gao will not have a good face as soon as he comes up.
"I'm waiting, I don't know ......"
This time, it was Cao Shen who answered, and Xiao He still lowered his head and said nothing.
As soon as Ying Gao looked at this situation, he knew that the bamboo slips he wrote were probably only seen by Xiao He, and Cao Shen followed them for the sake of their buddies without knowing it. Looking at their attitude towards themselves, Ying Gao was still slightly relieved, because judging from their performance, they still regarded themselves as officials of Great Qin at least now, rather than thieves who were in cahoots with Liu Bang.
"I don't know? So who is Liu Ji, you won't know it, right? ”
I didn't want to grind with them, so I directly took out Wang Fang, and said that it would be dangerous for Lao Tzu not to return to Xianyang, but I didn't have the heart to fight with you here.
Liu Ji ...... Originally the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in the county, the later ...... Fleeing for some reason, I don't know where to go. ”
This time, what Cao Shen said was not as slippery as before, but Ying Gao didn't care, just looked at Xiao He, who had never spoken, and asked, "You are the chief official of Pei County, this matter is ...... How, exactly? ”
Cao Shen didn't know, Xiao He was like a mirror in his heart, the bamboo slips brought to him by Yinggao before had already made it clear that he and Liu Bang were involved, and now that he came out like this, there was a way in it, and he couldn't help but pretend to be stupid here again.
