Chapter 439: Where Have All the Talents in the World Gone?

"Xiao Xiangguo, I found a talent and I would like to recommend it to you!" Xiahou Ying deliberately found Xiao He and said.

At this time, Xiao He had been appointed by Liu Bang as the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, so there was no problem for Xiahou Ying to call Xiao He the prime minister of Xiao.

However, in the face of Xiahou Ying's recommendation, Xiao He was very surprised.

Although Xiahou Ying often recommended some talents, almost all of the talents he found were military talents, and finally recommended them to Cao Shen, and Xiahou Ying never recommended talents to himself, because the talents he needed were all in government affairs.

But this time, Xiahou Ying took the initiative to recommend him, which made Xiao He very surprised, and at the same time he was very interested, after all, he was able to let Xiahou Ying foresee the talent here, and Xiao He was also very interested in the other party's talent.

So next, Xiahou Ying introduced Han Xin, the origin of the other party, and the people he kept under the knife, as well as some of the words that the other party said when the two sides chatted, and so on.

The more Xiao He listened, the more surprised he became, if what Xia Houying said was true, Han Xin was indeed a rare talent.

So Xiao He said, "You ask him to wait for a few days, and then come and summon him after I'm done with the things at hand!" ”

Xiao He's words are already quite face-saving, it stands to reason that Xiahou Ying should leave with interest at this time, but Xiahou Ying hesitated in place for a long time, Xiao He saw the problem and said, "What, do you still hope that I will see him immediately?" ”

Xiahou Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, Xiao Xiangguo Mingjian, that's exactly what I mean." ”

"Hmph, except for Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, there is no second person in the world who is worthy of going to see him now!" Although Xiao He is also quite modest, he still has his own arrogance after all.

For such a little-known little person, Xiao He is willing to take the initiative to summon him, which is already a very polite corporal, if he still takes the initiative to see him, it will really damage his majesty.

Xiahou Ying seemed to have anticipated Xiao He's attitude, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Prime Minister Xiao, do you know why this Han Xin left Xiang Yu and joined us?" ”

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Xiao He said angrily.

"Yes, Han Xin told me that after the division of the heroes and the king of Han was about to set off, news suddenly came from the Qi country, saying that Tian Rong had rebelled, and the three Qi kings of Xiang Yu were all driven away by Tian Rong, and the entire Qi country fell into chaos."

Xiang Yu immediately decided to lead his troops to quell the rebellion, but the king of Han had not yet set off into Hanzhong, and Xiang Yu could not leave Guanzhong. Because Xiang Yu understands that with the ability of King Han, no one in the whole world can deal with King Han except for him Xiang Yu. Zhang Han and the others were not the opponents of the King of Han at all, so he had to see the King of Han into the cage of Bashu with his own eyes before he could rest assured. ”

"But the Qi country is very tricky, and no one except Xiang Yu can quell the rebellion, so even if it is Xiang Yu, he can't help but sigh that night, where are all the capable and capable people who can lead troops to fight in this world? Why didn't I see any of them! ”

And when Xiang Yu said this, Han Xin was standing at the door of Xiang Yu's tent, so the next day, Han Xin left the project directly and came to join King Han.

Xiahou Ying's story was finished, and Xiao He's expression was very complicated, he looked Xiahou Ying up and down and said, "Let's go, take me to meet this Han Xin!" ”

Xiahou Ying naturally took Xiao He away, but halfway through the road, Xiao He suddenly stopped again and turned back.

Xiahou Ying was puzzled, but Xiao He did not explain, but threw a letter of appointment to Xiahou Ying, which appointed Han Xin as the governor of Su.

Before, Han Xin was a petty official in charge of a granary, but now Han Xin has become an official in charge of the grain and grass of the entire Han army, and then Xiao He told Xiahou Ying to let Han Xin leave the army with him and go to Hanzhong first.

Xiahou Ying was puzzled by this, so she went back and told Han Xin everything that happened, and Han Xin smiled after listening to it, "It seems that the Han army has not much food and grass, I'm afraid it won't be able to support half a month!" ”

Xiahou Ying was very surprised after hearing this, and asked Han Xin why he knew that the Han army did not have much grain and grass, when they set off, they obviously brought enough grain and grass for three months, but now it has only been a month, there should be about two months of grain and grass left, how can it be less than half a month?

As a result, Han Xin told him that everyone knew that Xiao He was the right-hand man of the King of Han, and the King of Han could not leave Xiao He for a day, but now Xiao He had to leave the military camp in advance and go to Hanzhong, so there must have been a big crisis about the lives of the whole army, and Liu Bang had to send Xiao He to solve the problem.

And since Xiao He rushed to Hanzhong in advance, and at the same time deliberately appointed himself as the governor of Su Du, it means that this crisis has appeared in the grain and grass.

Thinking of the Shu Road is difficult to walk, especially the trucks that transport grain and grass, it is even more difficult to walk on the Shu Road, and dozens of people fall off the plank road because of accident every day, not to mention the grain and grass escorted by the army.

Three months of grain and grass, these days have lost half of it, and this morning, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng ordered all the soldiers to go to the grain depot to receive half a month's of grain and grass, this is worried that the remaining grain and grass will fall off the plank road because of transportation problems, it is better to simply let all the soldiers carry half a month's of grain and grass with them, so that at least half a month can be maintained.

After listening to Han Xin's analysis, Xiahou Ying was greatly admired, and then asked suspiciously, "Then why did Prime Minister Xiao bring you with you?" And he's clearly decided to come to see you, but halfway through it, he turns back. ”

"I'm afraid that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng thinks that I have no evidence, so he wants to use this grain and grass incident to test me!" Han Xin smiled, "That's fine, if I don't show some real skills, I'm sorry for his good intentions." ”

So, Han Xin followed Xiao He's men and horses, took the first step, broke away from the bloated army, drove lightly, hurried day and night, and arrived in Hanzhong in only 5 days.

As soon as he arrived in Hanzhong, Xiao He's order went directly to Han Xin, asking Han Xin to immediately take over all the granaries in Hanzhong, take stock of all the grain and grass in the granaries, and at the same time prepare 30,000 troops to eat half a month's worth of grain and grass, load all these grains and grasses, and prepare for transportation, and all this is only one day.

But Xiao He, who hurriedly issued the military order, soon found that he had actually issued an impossible order.

Because the grain and grass in the whole Hanzhong are actually distributed in more than a dozen different granaries, the nearest two of these granaries are dozens of miles apart, and the farthest is only hundreds of miles, it is impossible to gather all the grain and grass in these granaries in one day.

The second is that it is now the time of the bumper grain harvest in Hanzhong, and a lot of tax grain collected from all over the country has to be sent to the granary every day, but at this time, the granary has to go out for grain.

In this way, the granary with only one gate has to enter and exit at the same time, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the efficiency of grain transportation.

After learning about these situations, Xiao He suddenly felt worried, and he didn't care about anything else, so he went to the granary to inspect as soon as possible.

The address was modified for various reasons
