26, Xiao He chased Han Xin under the moon

However, it was said that Teng Gong went to Xiao He Mansion to meet in the evening, and Teng Gong said: "Han Xin abandoned Chu to come to Hanzhong, and he has outstanding discussions, and his academic origins are really strange people in the world." Xiao He said: "Han Xin also heard his name, this person is poor, fishing in Huaixia, sending food to drift mother, encountering evil and humiliation, willing to accept the crotch, everyone in the city laughs at it." After the battle sword was thrown into Chu, Chu was awarded the halberd officer, and it was not reused, but Fan Zeng repeatedly recommended it, and King Xiang did not use it. I thought it was because Chu didn't use it, so I abandoned him and left it at that. But the king of fear of Han knew that he was a person, and he refused to reuse it. Teng Gong said: "It's a pity that this person has not been encountered, if it is reused, it will definitely be able to establish miraculous achievements and live up to the example." Xiao He said: "I can see you tomorrow." Teng Gong left Xiao He and returned to the house, and sent someone to the store the next day to ask Han Xin to see Xiao He. Xiao He lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the access control is serious and far-reaching, first there is a waiting official to report into the house, and then a gate official comes out and asks the name of the Prime Minister. I saw a rafter come out and invite the wise men into the house to meet them. Han Xin entered the hall, and Xiao He went out of the eaves to pull the letter into the hall, and there was no sitting and talking. Xiao He said: "Teng Gongshen is called a university, and I am fortunate to see you today. Han Xin said: "The letter is in Chu Wen Han King Shengming, the prime minister is virtuous, the seeker is thirsty, humble and courteous, and he has come thousands of miles." I have seen Teng Gong for a few days, and I have not fallen down since I met yesterday; After seeing the prime minister today, he wants to return to his hometown, and he would rather be willing to be a spring stone and not give in to others. Xiao He said: "The wise man has not seen the sac cone fall off, why did he see the color change?" Han Xin said: "The king of Xiqi is good at drumming, and there is a wise man in Jin who is good at drumming, and the king has repeatedly extended his visits." One day when the Magi came to the Kingdom of Qi, the king sat down in the hall and wanted the Magi to drum. The wise man said, 'If the king is good at hearing it, let him burn incense and give him to sit and listen to the drums of his ministers, and the ministers will do it with all their hearts.' Now the king sits on the courtiers and treats the servants as if they were servants, why do the ministers despise themselves and be happy for the king? 'The drummer is still ashamed to stand on the king's side, and the prime minister seeks talents for the country, and wants to hear about the need to govern the country, but now he is arrogant to receive the wise men, so Han Xin wants to go, and does not want to stay in his country! When Xiao He heard this, he sat down and bowed: "Xiao He is ignorant, he has lost the courtesy of hospitality, and I hope to forgive my sins." Han Xin said: "The prime minister's quest is really for the country, and a certain person wants to fall in love with him in order to make up for it, which is not the selfishness of one person." Xiao He arched his hand and asked: "May the wise men discuss the situation of the world, decide the safety of the world, control the chaos tomorrow, judge the strength and weakness of the world, and then the world can be profitable." Han Xin said: "Guanzhong has one hundred and two mountains and rivers, the country of abundance, and the emperor has been the place where the capital was built since ancient times. King Xiang did not live here, but moved the capital to Pengcheng, and the situation of losing the world is also! Although the king of Han moved to the left in Hanzhong, he cultivated a sharp accumulation, and the momentum of the tiger and leopard in the mountains made the wise man unable to use his strategy, and he was not also satisfied? King Xiang is invincible, and the princes of the world are afraid of his strength, but the heart of betrayal is hidden in the unexpected, and there is a hidden disaster inside the outside, but it is not as good as the Han Dynasty in the distance. King Xiang killed Emperor Yi in the middle of the river, wantonly, and the King of Han about the law of three chapters, in addition to the Qin Law, although the left moved to Nanzheng, and the heavens looked down, if the army was raised to face the east, the people would not lead to return. This is the situation in the world. What is the prime minister's doubt? Xiao He said: "According to the Magi, Chu Kehuahu? Han Xin said: "At this time, King Xiang moved eastward, the princes rebelled, the people screamed, the three Qin were not strictly prepared, and the Han soldiers were just the right day." Xiao He saw Han Xin say this, but he said in front of him: "The plank road has been burned out the day before yesterday, and the Han soldiers are in a hurry, so what can I do!" Han Xin smiled and said: "Why is the prime minister so deceitful? The day before yesterday, the plank road was burned, and it must be a wise man and the prime minister who discussed that there must be another way to lead the Han soldiers, and then burn the ears. This plan can be concealed from the king of Xiang, and the wise man can see through it and cannot be deceived! When Xiao He heard this, he couldn't help but leave the table with a smile on his face and bowed down: "Xiao He has never talked about it with anyone since he entered Hanzhong, and today he heard the words of the wise man like a drunken party, which made me feel happy in my chest!" "He called the horses to the left and right, and went back to the private house with the wise men to sit less, and sent someone to prepare the banquet first.

Xiao He and Han Xin arrived at the house, sat down with the guests, and set up wine. Xiao He saw that Han Xin's discussion was like a big river in the Yangtze River, pouring thousands of miles, and his heart was very surprised. Because the king of Sihan was blessed, he felt that this hero came to vote, and praised him, and the marshal of Chu was the only one who believed it, so he stayed in Han Xin's private house to rest, and paid the two servants to serve day and night. Han Xin lived in Xiao He's house from then on, but he hid Zhang Liangjiao's book by his side and refused to take it out.

Xiao He was proud of Han Xin, happy but not sleepy, and thought: "Zhang Liang once had a corner book contract, and he had to find a generalissimo who broke Chu and recommended it with the corner book." Today, there is this Han Xin, who is the Marshal of Pochu, but he missed it and did not recommend it, thinking that Zhang Liang had never met it. I will go to court tomorrow morning, and I strongly recommend it with Teng Gong. ”

The next morning, Xiao He and Teng Gong went out to play and said: "The minister is equal to a wise man in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and he is proficient in Tao strategy and far-sighted, and he can be the marshal of Pochu." Beg the king to reuse. The king of Han said, "Where are the Magi?" Have you ever been a professional? I would like to say my name, and I will be hired. Xiao He said: "This person was originally from Huaiyin, and his surname was Han Mingxin." He used to be the official of Chu Halberd, and the overlord did not need it, because he abandoned Chu and returned to Han, he came thousands of miles away. Yesterday knocked on its implications, although Yi Yin and Ziya couldn't pass. King Han smiled and said: "When I was in Pei County, I heard that this person was humiliated in his crotch, begging for food and drifting his mother, and a villager despised him. If the prime minister raises this person as a general, the three armies will not accept the princes and laugh, and Xiang Yu will not laugh when he hears it? Think I'm blind! Xiao He said: "The generals of the ancients, most of them are from the cold, how can they talk about people at the door?" Yi Yin Xin Ye Pifu, Taigong Weishui Fishing, later became a big event. Although Han Xin is lowly, and what he has learned in his chest is a wonder in the world, if he does not use it, so that he will throw himself into another country, it is the best of abandoning the city, and the treasure of the broken and clan. May the king listen to the advice of Weichen and urgently use Han Xin, Xiang Yu can be destroyed, and Xianyang can be restored. If you are guilty of what you have done, you will be guilty of the sin of ruling the ministers. King Han said: "If you are recommended by Qing and others, you can summon Han Xin to meet you." Xiao He passed on the order, and the forbidden ambassador summoned Han Xin to the court.

Han Xin pondered: "The king of Han summoned me like this and will never reuse it, and I will go inside to see how he treats me." So he went in to see the king of Han. The king of Han asked, "You have come thousands of miles, but you have not seen talent." There is a shortage of officials in the current warehouse, and you are promoted to a company official, try to see how you do your duty. Han Xin thanked him, slightly unashamed. Xiao He Tenggong was very uneasy.

Han Xin retreated to the warehouse, checked the bucket-level people, etc., inspected the estimated grain in the warehouse, took an operator, and according to the number of rice piles, the expulsion was not bad. The old man at the Cangdou level, seeing the letter and checking the calculations, bowed to the ground and said: "Since you have come to manage the cang, you are not as shrewd as a virtuous man." Han Xin smiled and said: "What's so difficult about measuring this servant?" ”

For several days, the king of Han did not come to court. Xiao He because of his small enlightenment, Fu Zhi eunuch passed in, and the king of Han sent an order: "I want to go east for days, and if I don't have a good plan, I won't go out of the court, and I should see you tomorrow." After the next morning, the king of Han retreated to the palace and summoned Xiao He to discuss the matter. The king of Han said: "I have lived here for a long time and want to go east, but there is no good plan, what can I do? Xiao He said: "If it is difficult to criticize the east, it must be held only if Marshal Chu is broken." The king of Han said, "The one who thinks about it is exactly what it is." Xiao He said: "The king doesn't have to think about it, just reuse Han Xin, and the big thing is decided!" Wang said: "When Han Xin was poor, he was incapable of living, how could he be an enemy of Xiang Yu for this great task?" Xiao He said: "Han Xin is really talented!" Don't miss out! King Han said: "That is the case, and Han Xin will be promoted to the commander of Su Du." Han Xin happily accepted it.

The next day, Xiao He entered to see the King of Han, and after the early ceremony, the King of Han Xuan He went to the palace and said: "I have been in a dream many times recently, and I think that my parents and family are in Pengcheng, when can we meet?" Depressed here, not a place to live for a long time! Xiao He said: "In the past, when Qi Jinggong returned from hunting, Yan Zi said: 'Every dream of the widow is ominous, and his heart is unhappy. Yan Zi said: "The ominous dream is ominous, please speak." Jing Gong said: 'I go up the mountain to see the tiger, and when I go to the Ze to see the snake, why not? Yan Zi said: "The mountain is inhabited by tigers, and Ze is hidden by snakes, what is ominous." There are three ominous countries in today's country, and I have not been tried, does the king know? Jing Gong said, "I don't know." Yan Zi said: "The country has a wise man but does not know it, and it is ominous; If you know it and can't use it, it's ominous; Use it without taking on a heavy responsibility, three ominous. 'The danger in the dream of the king today is that there are wise men who cannot be reused. The minister is afraid that the king of Xiang will follow Fan Zeng's plan and raise troops to the west, who will the king take over? This minister worries day and night! The king of Han said: "There are virtuous people in the country, how can I not reuse them?" When I went to Hanzhong for a long time, how could I be virtuous and not use it? Xiao He said: "There is a great sage today and the king does not need it, it is a long time to think about the present, and it is not wrong." The king of Han said: "Where is the great sage?" In other words, I am also promoted. Xiao He said: "The minister wants to recommend, but I am afraid that my king will be afraid of the coldness of the door and the humility of his background. The king of Han said: "Qing does not need to say much, that is, the name of the wise man will be known." Xiao He kowtowed and said: "The wise men of the country, but Han Xin, a native of Huaiyin." King Han said: "Qing recommended it for the second time, and he has been crowned as the governor of Su Du, how can it not be used?" Xiao He said: "The commander of Su is not enough to fulfill Han Xin's talents, so he must worship the post of generalissimo, and then he can stay with Han Xinye." Otherwise, Han Xin will go! The king of Han said: "Jue should not be added indiscriminately, and power should not be lightly followed." Han Xin was rewarded twice in January, and now he has not seen the size of the merit, if he is added to the position of Yuan Rong, the other soldiers will complain that my reward and punishment are not appropriate, and they will retreat. Xiao He said: "Since ancient times, the Emperor Shengming has been used according to the material, and he has been appointed by people. Although the abundant soldiers worked hard, they were not comparable to Han Xin. The minister Han Xin is a pillar of the material, so he has repeatedly recommended the king! The King of Han said: "Follow the words of the prime minister, wait for Zhang Liang or a wise man to come, I should reuse it, and live up to the promise of the old corner book; If Zhang Liang did not guarantee the promotion, it would not be too late to use Han Xin at that time. ”

Xiao had no choice but to go back home and ask Han Xin to talk about it. Ask him how he can go down to Qin? How can I get out of the boardwalk? How can I receive six countries? Han Xin avoided Xi Zheng and said: "I know the art of war as a prime minister, even if I look at it in this way, I don't know it!" The soldier's camera moves, changes at any time, can not be passed first, can not be remote, such as the flow of water, the battle and the victory, the ghosts and gods are unpredictable, the father and son can not reach their fingers, and there is a clever calculation when the time comes. How can the prime minister ask questions and want to hear what he says? Xiao He was overjoyed and became more respectful.

Han Xin resigned and returned to the mansion, and there was no movement for several days, Han Xin pondered: "The king of Han today does not know the weight, and everyone does not admire it, even if the horn book is surrendered, it is not enough to subdue the hundred officials." What's in it for me? It's better to run away and choose another thing. So he packed his luggage and went out, and he didn't go to Xiao to say goodbye.

When Xiao He heard that Han Xin had gone, when he hurriedly went to the mansion to ask, everyone on the left and right said: "Last night, I ordered to prepare a horse, saying that I wanted to travel far away, and I didn't dare to disobey." I didn't want to stop dressing overnight, and I set off at five o'clock this morning, and I went out from the east gate, not knowing where to go. Xiao He shouted when he heard this: "I don't need to recommend the King of Han many times, but he is gone!" But if I don't recover it, I won't be able to sleep all day long. The attendants hurried to the east gate and asked the officers and soldiers guarding the gate: "Have you ever seen a general go out on horseback with a sword on his back?" The doorman replied: "I opened the door at five o'clock this morning, and I saw this person passing through the east gate, and it is estimated that he is fifty miles away from here." Xiao He listened and rode his horse to catch up. When I came to a village, I asked the villagers: "Have you ever seen a general in the past?" The villagers said, "This morning someone came from the west on horseback and with a sword, and now there are 50 or 60 miles away." Xiao He immediately got on the horse and chased after him. Gradually late, a round of moonrise, Xiao He took advantage of the moonlight to come to the Hanxi River. At this time, it was July, the night was quiet and the river was cold and the mountain road was dangerous, and the new horse could not cross the autumn water. Then he grabbed the bridle with the servants. At this time, another horse came from behind, and it was the prince of Teng, Xiahou Yingye. The baby said: "When a certain party returned, there was an ambassador from Cang who came to report that General Han went out of the east gate on horseback, and I expected that the wise man wanted to join another country because the king of Han had not been of great use, so he hurried here. Unexpectedly, the prime minister also came to catch up! Han Xin saw that Xiao He and Xiahou Ying were so earnest, and they were extremely loyal, so he sighed: "The second prince can be described as a pure minister. The world is the prime minister, or jealous of the virtuous, or the authoritarian, who is willing to make a mistake and try his best to raise the virtuous, the second public is rare, enough to know that the Han industry is prosperous. If you believe in bandits, dare not to obey your fate, and are willing to be a wise man. Xiao He and Xiahou Ying shook Han Xin's hand under the moonlight and said: "The ancients said: 'The one who meets a confidant dies. 'The two of us know very well that the Magi is the best of Iro, and the horse of the orchestra is enough to cut down Qin and break Chu. The two of us are willing to do our best to protect the promotion with our wealth, if the king of Han is still not reused, the two of us will also abandon the official and return to their hometowns, and they do not want to be trapped here for a long time. When Han Xin heard this, he had to go back and live in Xiao He's mansion for the time being.
