[Hello everyone, welcome to this short video: taking stock of the top ten famous figures in history!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
[The second among the top ten famous prime ministers in history: Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty, the famous prime minister who rejuvenated the country, Xiao He!]
[Three men cut off Chu, Guan and Liang, and devoured seventeen kings at a time.]
[The meritorious officials of Emperor Gao are the most meritorious, and the Han family has no title to reward Xiao Zhang.]
"Who the hell wrote this poem? This is a frame-up! It's a rumor!!!" As soon as this poem came out, Liu Bang was immediately furious: "Didn't I knight Xiao He and Zhang Liang? You must be held accountable for spreading rumors.
!!!"
However, the fact is that although Liu Bang granted Xiao He and Zhang Liang the title of Marquis, Zhang Liang eventually retired on his own, 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 of the Western Han Dynasty, a statesman, and one of the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty".]
[Xiao He entered the Qin Dynasty in his early years and served as the chief official of Pei County. Later, he assisted Pei Gong Liu Bang in the uprising.
After conquering Xianyang, he received the laws and books stored in the Qin Prime Minister's Palace and the Yushi Palace, and mastered the country's dangerous mountains and rivers, as well as 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 area for the Han army. He continuously provided food and wages for soldiers to the front line to support operations, and 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 re-formulated the legal system as the "Nine Chapters".
In terms of legal thought, he advocates inaction and likes the techniques of Huang and Lao.
In the eleventh year of Emperor Gao's reign (196 BC), Xiao He assisted Emperor Gaozu in destroying Han Xin, Ying Bu and other princes and kings with different surnames.
After Liu Bang's death, he assisted Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.
In the second year of Emperor Hui's reign (193 BC), Xiao He died, and his posthumous title was "Marquis Wen Zhong".]
Regarding Xiao He's achievements, almost all parallel worlds, except the world where Qin Shihuang lives, are quite familiar with it.
[When Xiao He was young, he served as a meritorious officer in Peixian County. He was usually studious, quick-thinking, and studied the laws and regulations of the past dynasties.
Xiao He was diligent and frugal by nature, never extravagant or extravagant; he was easy-going and good at recognizing people, and made many good friends, including Liu Bang, the pavilion chief of Sishui in Qin Dynasty, Fan Kuai, a hunter, Cao Shen, a scribe, Xia Houying, an executioner, and Zhou Bo, a trumpeter.
Because they were of similar age and had similar personalities, they became close friends. Especially for Liu Bang, Xiao He had an even more extraordinary relationship with him.
When Xiao He first met Liu Bang, he felt that his appearance was majestic, his character was extraordinary, and his manner of speaking was different from others, so he admired him very much and used his power to secretly protect him many times.
As an official, Liu Bang went to Xianyang to do corvee service. Each of the county officials gave him three gifts, except Xiao He who gave him five.
Under the threat of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising army, many local officials also had a premonition that Qin's tyranny might not last long, so they rebelled against the court and joined the rebel army.
Liu Bang and others also rose up for various reasons. From then on, Xiao He made suggestions for Liu Bang, followed Liu Bang in the south and north, and repeatedly made great achievements.]
[In the second year of Qin II (208 BC), Duke Xiang Liang beheaded Yin Tong, the governor of Kuaiji Prefecture, and raised the banner of rebellion.
Soon, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses were recruited to support the twelfth royal grandson of King Chu, Xiong Xinxin, who was only thirteen years old.
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 first to enter Xianyang will be 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, adopted a combination of suppression and appeasement, and attacked all the way to Guanzhong.
As the logistics manager, Xiao He is mainly responsible for the appeasement of the local government, as well as the scheduling and supervision of logistics.】
[In October 206 BC, Liu Bang led his army to Xianyang. Prince Qin Ying killed the traitor Zhao Gao, presented his jade seal, and surrendered to Liu Bang, so the Han army entered Xianyang.
Seeing the towering palaces and prosperous markets in the capital of Qin, Liu Bang and his soldiers were stunned.
When Liu Bang's soldiers were all scrambling to divide the property, only Xiao He went to the palace to collect the legal books in charge of the Qin Dynasty's prime minister and censor and kept them.
Later, even after Xiang Yu and the princes burned, killed and looted in Xianyang, Liu Bang was still able to know in detail the dangerous fortresses in the world, the number of household registrations and economic conditions in various places, because Xiao He obtained the Qin Dynasty's books and archives.]
[Liu Bang was named King of Han, and Xiao He was appointed prime minister.
In August of the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), Liu Bang quietly led his army to leave, adopted Han Xin's plan of "building plank roads in the open and visiting Chencang in secret", and led the army to march eastward.
Xiao He's task in Guanzhong was to collect taxes from Shu and supply military supplies. After entering Sichuan, the Han army officers and soldiers missed their hometown and were eager to return to the east. When they returned to the east, they came down from the mountains like ferocious tigers and bravely
Fighting, fighting for the first, until they killed King Yong Zhang Han, all the soldiers 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 be responsible for recruiting and training soldiers as well as collecting food and wages. Liu Bang led a large army in Pengcheng. Due to the devastation of several wars, Guanzhong was very dilapidated. Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was captured by Xiang Yu
It burned for three months and was already in ruins.]
[After Xiao He arrived in Guanzhong, he immediately expressed condolences to 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 governing institutions of the Han Dynasty, and built palaces, county towns, etc.
Moreover, the original royal gardens of the Qin Dynasty were also opened to ordinary people for cultivation, and useful people were awarded titles.
Xiao He also asked the people to elect moral and role-model people and appoint them as "three elders", one in each county; and then select three elders from each village as the "three elders" of the county to 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 area was quickly stabilized, and the needs of the front line were fully guaranteed.]
[In the second year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang took advantage of Xiang Yu's army's eastern expedition to capture Xiang Yu's hometown in Pengcheng.
Xiao He recruited troops in Guanzhong, transported grain and grass, supported the Han army, and also made suggestions for the prince, formulated laws and regulations, and established order in the ancestral hall.
Liu Bang had unconditional trust in the questions and suggestions raised by Xiao He. Xiao He could even implement decrees based on specific circumstances without reporting them.
It can be said that in the early Han Dynasty, the relationship between Liu Bang and Xiao He was as close as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.】
[Liu Bang was defeated several times in his battles with Xiang Yu, and he still managed to escape.
But no matter which time he failed, Xiao He could quickly recruit Guanzhong soldiers and raise food and grass to quickly replenish the army led by Liu Bang.
It was precisely with the stable and powerful logistical support provided by Xiao He that Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu repeatedly, becoming stronger the more he lost!
On the other hand, Xiang Yu fell into the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food during many years of war with Liu Bang.
In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang and Han Xin, and committed suicide in Wujiang, ending his life in an anticlimactic manner.]
