[The second of the top ten famous ministers in history: the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, the famous minister of the country, Xiao He! ] 】

[Emperor Gao's meritorious heroes are always meritorious dogs, and the Han family has no lord to reward Xiao Zhang. 】
"Who the made this poem? This is a frame-up! It's a rumor!! As soon as this poem came out, Liu Bang suddenly exploded: "Didn't Lao Tzu knight Xiao He and Zhang Liang?" Do you understand that rumors are responsible!! ”
However, the fact is that although Liu Bang gave Xiao He and Zhang Liang the title of marquis, in the end Zhang Liang retired by himself, and Xiao He did not hesitate to destroy his reputation in order to protect himself
[Xiao He, a native of Fengyi, Pei County, a founding hero and politician of the Western Han Dynasty, one of the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty". 】
[Xiao He entered the Qin Dynasty in his early years, served as the chief official of Pei County, and later assisted Pei Gong Liu Bang in the uprising.
After conquering Xianyang, he received the laws and books collected by the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial History Mansion, and mastered the national mountains and rivers, county and county household registration, which played an important role in formulating policies in the future. 】
[During the Chu-Han War, Xiao He stayed in Guanzhong, making Guanzhong a consolidated rear of the Han army, and constantly sending soldiers and soldiers to support the front line to support the war, which played an important role in Liu Bang's victory over Xiang Yu and the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
Xiao He adopted the Six Laws of Qin and reformulated the legal system as the "Nine Chapters of Law".
In terms of legal thought, he advocates inaction and likes the art of Huang Lao.
In the eleventh year of Emperor Gao (196 BC), Xiao He assisted Gaozu in eliminating Han Xin, Yingbu and other princes with different surnames.
After Liu Bang's death, he assisted Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.
In the second year of Emperor Hui (193 BC), Xiao He, died, nicknamed "Wen Zhonghou". 】
For Xiao He's exploits, in all parallel worlds, except for the world where Qin Shihuang is located, they almost all know a lot.
[Xiao He served as a gongcao in Pei County when he was young, he was usually diligent and studious, quick thinking, and had a lot of research on the laws and decrees of the past dynasties.
Xiao He is diligent and thrifty by nature, never extravagant and wasteful; He has an easy-going personality, is good at reading people, and has made many good friends, including Liu Bang, the chief of the Qin Surabaya Pavilion, Fan Xu, the catcher, Cao Shen, the scribe, Xiahou Ying, the executioner, and Zhou Bo, the drummer.
Because they are of the same age and have the same personalities, they have become inseparable friends. Especially for Liu Bang, Xiao He's relationship with him is even more unusual.
When Xiao He first saw Liu Bang, he felt that he was magnificent, extraordinary, and different from everyone else, so he admired him very much, and used his power to secretly protect him many times.
Liu Bang went to Xianyang as an official to serve as a conscript, and the officials in the county each gave him three gift money, but Xiao He gave him five.
Under the deterrence of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebel army, many local officials also had a premonition that Qin's tyranny might not last long, so they rose up one after another, rebelled against the imperial court, and joined the rebel army.
Liu Bang and others also rose up for various reasons, and since then, Xiao He has made suggestions for Liu Bang, followed Liu Bang to fight in the south and the north, and made great contributions repeatedly. 】
[In the second year of Qin II (208 BC), Xiang Lianggong beheaded Yin Tong, the governor of Huijifu, and held high the banner of uprising.
Soon, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses were recruited to support the twelfth royal grandson of the king of Chu, Xiong Xinxin, who was only thirteen years old, as king.
Xiang Yu rescued Zhao from the north, broke the siege of Julu, and attacked Qin from north to west; Liu Bang marched into Guanzhong from south to west.
In order to motivate the princes, Xiang Yu set up a reward of "the one who enters Xianyang first is the king".
Liu Bang decisively led his army into Xianyang.
According to the plan of Zhang Liang and others, he covered up the truth, resorted to lies, and adopted a parallel method of suppression and pacification, attacking all the way to Guanzhong.
As the head of logistics, Xiao He is mainly responsible for the pacification of the local government, as well as the scheduling and supervision of logistics. 】
[In October 206 BC, Liu Bang led his army into Xianyang, and the prince of Qin killed the traitor Zhao Gao, sacrificed the jade seal, and surrendered to Liu Bang, so the Han army entered Xianyang.
Seeing the towering palaces and thriving markets of the Qin capital, Liu Bang and his soldiers were stunned.
When Liu Bang's soldiers were scrambling to divide the goods, only Xiao He went to the palace to collect the decree books in charge of the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty and the imperial history and kept them.
Later, even after Xiang Yu and the princes burned and looted in Xianyang, Liu Bang was still able to know in detail the dangerous points in the world, the number of household registrations in various places, and the economic situation, etc., because Xiao He obtained the books and archives of the Qin Dynasty. 】
[Liu Bang was named the king of Han and let Xiao He serve as prime minister.
In August of the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), Liu Bang quietly led the army to leave, adopted Han Xin's plan of "repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and darkening the Chen Cang", and led the army to the east.
And Xiao He's task in Guanzhong is to collect taxes and supply military supplies in Shu. After entering Sichuan, the Han officers and soldiers missed their hometown and were anxious to return to the east. When they returned to the east, they came down from the mountains like ferocious tigers and fought bravely, fighting for the first, until the soldiers of Yongwang Zhanghan who had killed them all fled. In less than a month, the Han army occupied the land of Sanqin.
Liu Bang ordered Xiao He to sit in Guanzhong to pacify the people, and to be responsible for collecting and training soldiers, as well as collecting food and money. Liu Bang led a large army in Pengcheng. Due to the devastation of several wars, Guanzhong has been very dilapidated. Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was burned by Xiang Yu for three months, and it had already become a ruin. 】
[After Xiao He arrived in Guanzhong, he immediately comforted the masses, resumed production, and tried his best to clean up the dilapidated situation in Guanzhong.
On the one hand, he restored the decentralized order; On the other hand, he promulgated and implemented new laws, implemented the order and ruling institutions of the Han Dynasty, and built palaces, county seats, etc.
Moreover, the original royal gardens of the Qin Dynasty were also open to ordinary people to cultivate, and titles were awarded to useful people.
Xiao He also asked the people to elect people with morality and role models, and appointed them as the "three elders", one in each county; Then select three elders from each village as the "three elders" of the county, assist the county magistrate, educate the people, exempt them from taxes, and give them wine and meat at the end of each year.
Under these targeted policies, agricultural production began to recover, Liu Bang's rear quickly stabilized, and the needs of the front line were fully guaranteed. 】
[In the second year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang took the opportunity of Xiang Yu's army's eastward expedition to capture Xiang Yu's nest in Pengcheng.
Xiao He recruited troops in Guanzhong, transported grain and grass, supported the Han army, and also gave advice to the prince, formulated laws and regulations, and established the order of the ancestral hall.
Liu Bang took unconditional trust in Xiao He's questions and suggestions, and Xiao He could even implement the decree according to the specific situation without reporting.
It can be said that in the early Han Dynasty, the relationship between Liu Bang and Xiao He was as close as that between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. 】
[Liu Bang lost several battles in the battle with Xiang Yu, and he was the kind who fled in the wilderness.
But no matter which one failed, Xiao He was able to quickly recruit soldiers in Guanzhong and raise grain and grass to quickly replenish the army led by Liu Bang.
It is precisely with the stable and powerful logistics support provided by Xiao He that Liu Bang was able to defeat and fight again and again in the battle with Xiang Yu, and the more defeated he became, the stronger he became!
On the other hand, Xiang Yu, he fell into the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food in the war with Liu Bang for many years.
In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang and Han Xin, and committed suicide in Wujiang, ending his life of being a tiger. 】
