[Hi everyone, welcome to this short video: Inventory of the Top Ten Famous Figures in History! 】

【Producer: Su Qian】

[Second place among the top ten famous figures in history: the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, the famous Prime Minister of Xingguo, Xiao He! 】

[Three people cut off Chu Guanliang, and one scorpion swallowed seventeen kings. 】

[Gaodi's meritorious officials are all dogs, and the Han family has no nobles to reward Xiao Zhang. 】

"Who the hell wrote this poem? It's a frame-up! It's a rumor!!!" As soon as the poem came out, Liu Bang immediately exploded: "Didn't Lao Tzu ennoble Xiao He and Zhang Liang? You must bear the responsibility for spreading rumors." !!!"

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 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 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, and later assisted Peigong Liu Bang in the uprising.

After conquering Xianyang, he received the laws and books collected by the Prime Minister's Mansion and Yushi 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 solid rear for the Han army, and continuously sending soldiers, food and salaries to support the battle, 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 Dynasty and re-established the system of laws and regulations as "Nine Chapter Laws".

In terms of legal thinking, he advocates inaction and likes the art of Huang Lao.

In the 11th year of Emperor Gaodi (196 BC), Xiao He assisted Gaozu to eliminate Han Xin, Yingbu and other princes with different surnames.

After Liu Bang died, he assisted Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.

In the second year of Emperor Hui (193 BC), Xiao He died, and his posthumous title was "Marquis Wen Zhong". 】

As for Xiao He's achievements, in all parallel worlds, except for the world where Qin Shihuang lived, almost everyone knows about it.

[Xiao He served as a meritorious service officer in Pei County when he was young. He was usually diligent, studious, quick-thinking, and studied the laws and regulations of the past dynasties.

Xiao He was diligent and frugal by nature, never extravagant and wasteful; he was easy-going, good at knowing people, and made many good friends, including Liu Bang, the chief of Qin Sishui Pavilion, Fan Kui, the arrester, Cao Can, the scribe, Xia Houying the executioner, and Zhou Bo, the trumpeter.

Because they are similar in age and have similar personalities, they have become close friends.Especially for Liu Bang, Xiao He's relationship with him is even more unusual.

When Xiao He met Liu Bang for the first time, he felt that he was imposing, powerful, and his speech was different from others, so he admired him very much, and used his power to secretly protect him many times.

Liu Bang served as an official in Xianyang. The officials in the county each gave him three gifts, 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 due to various reasons. From then on, Xiao He made suggestions for Liu Bang, followed Liu Bang in the South and North Wars, and made great contributions repeatedly. 】

[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 uprising.

Soon, more than 20 soldiers and horses were recruited to support the No. 12 royal grandson of King Chu, Xiong Xinxin, who was only 13 years old, became king.

Xiang Yu rescued Zhao from the north, broke the siege of Julu, and attacked Qin from north to west; Liu Bang marched from south to west to Guanzhong.

In order to encourage the princes, Xiang Yu set up a reward of "the first to enter Xianyang 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, adopted methods of suppression and appeasement in parallel, and attacked all the way to Guanzhong.

As the logistics manager, Xiao He is mainly responsible for appeasing the local government, as well as logistics scheduling and supervision. 】

[In October 206 BC, Liu Bang led his troops to Xianyang. Prince Ying 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 prosperous markets in the capital of Qin, Liu Bang and his soldiers were stunned.

When Liu Bang's soldiers were all scrambling to divide up the property, only Xiao He went into the palace to collect the decrees and books in charge of the prime minister and censor of the Qin Dynasty and preserved them.

Later, even after Xiang Yu and the princes burned, killed and looted in Xianyang, Liu Bang was still able to know the dangerous fortresses in the world, the number of household registrations and economic conditions in various places in detail, because Xiao He obtained the books and archives of the Qin Dynasty. 】

[Liu Bang was named the King of Han, and Xiao He became the prime minister.

In August of the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), Liu Bang quietly led the army away, adopted Han Xin's plan of "building plank roads in the open and darkening Chen Cang" and led the army to march eastward.

The task of Xiao He in Guanzhong is to collect taxes from Shu and supply military supplies.After entering Sichuan, the officers and soldiers of the Han army 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 fought bravely, fighting to be the first one, until they killed King Zhanghan of Yong, and 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 appease the people, and was responsible for expropriating and training soldiers, as well as collecting food and salaries.Liu Bang led a huge army in Pengcheng.Due to the devastation of several wars, Guanzhong has been very dilapidated.Xianyang, the capital of Qin Dynasty, was burned by Xiang Yu for three months, and it was already in ruins. 】

[After Xiao He arrived in Guanzhong, he immediately condoled the masses, resumed production, and tried his best to clean up the dilapidated situation in Guanzhong.

On the one hand, he restored the scattered 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 towns, etc.

Moreover, the original royal gardens in the Qin Dynasty were also open to ordinary people for cultivation, and titles were awarded to those who were useful.

Xiao He also asked the people to elect moral and role models, and appoint them as "three elders", one for each county; 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 frontline were fully guaranteed. 】

[In the second year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang took advantage of Xiang Yu's army's eastward expedition to capture Xiang Yu's lair in Pengcheng.

Xiao He conscripted soldiers in Guanzhong, transported grain and grass, supported the Han army, and also advised the prince, formulated laws and regulations, and established order in the ancestral hall.

Liu Bang took unconditional trust in Xiao He's questions and suggestions, and Xiao He could even implement government orders according to specific situations without reporting.

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 the battle with Xiang Yu, and he was still the kind who fled in despair.

But no matter which one failed, Xiao He was able to quickly recruit Guanzhong soldiers and raise food and grass to quickly replenish the army led by Liu Bang.

It is because of the stable and strong logistical support provided by Xiao He that Liu Bang was able to lose a little bit in the battle with Xiang Yu, and the more he lost, the stronger he became!

On the other hand, Xiang Yu fell into the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food during the 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 anticlimactic life. 】
