But it is one thing to say when opening up territory, and another thing after pacifying the world. Killing heroes is a common problem of emperors in past dynasties, and Liu Bang is no exception. Sean finally left, but Han Xin came to a tragic end.
Xiao, he lives in the imperial court. How can he protect himself?
Young friendship
Liu Bang and Xiao He have been friends since they were young. Liu Bang is young and easy to make friends, with friends from all walks of life. Xiao He is one of his bosom friends. He is brilliant, has his own demeanor in dealing with people, and is also affectionate and righteous to Liu Bang. It was on his recommendation that Liu Bang became a curator. Usually, he is often bohemian and deviant, and it is also a matter of pleading for him and thinking for him.
At that time, Liu Bang didn't seem to have any signs of achieving great things. Xiao He should really appreciate his natural and unrestrained personality and forged true feelings. Later, Xiao He followed Liu Bang to conquer the world and made a lot of contributions. He chased Han Xin at night and brought back a general to Liu Bang. But Liu Bang's status has become a leader at this time, and their relationship has also changed from a friend to a minister. The attitude towards Xiao He can't be measured by friendship alone.
Xiao He's ability is excellent, and Liu Bang also trusts him very much, otherwise he will not entrust the rear to him again and again. But for the superior, the better the minister, the more dangerous it is. From the beginning when Liu Bang led the troops to his rule of the world, there were many temptations and doubts about Xiao He. But with the foundation of friendship, Xiao He can keep pace with the times, listen to other people's suggestions in time, and save the day every time.
After Liu Bang entered Hanzhong, he appointed Xiao He as the Prime Minister to govern the country with him. Xiao He also devoted himself to the governance of Hanzhong, appeased the people on weekdays, and continuously transported military forces and hay to the front line in wartime, so that Liu Bang could rest assured that he would lead people to fight.
But later, in the battle with Xiang Yu's Pengcheng, Liu Bang was defeated. After summing up his experience, he felt that because of the lack of an elite cavalry team, his strength was weakened by defeat, so Xiao He, who was in Guanzhong, went to the front to recruit and transport goods.
And Liu often wrote to Xiao He, asking about the recent situation in Xiao He and the news in Guanzhong. Xiao He reciprocated, but he never satisfied Liu Bang. In fact, Liu Bang is worried at this time.
Xiao He manages Guanzhong well, and he knows it. But it is because Xiao He is so capable that the Guanzhong area respects and loves him. And Liu Bang's side has just been defeated. After hearing the news, Guan Zhong was very flustered and sad. Liu thought, if Xiao He, known as the sage, wanted to rebel at this time, the Han army would not turn back.
