Chapter 438 The Unknown Xia Houying
For this plot, Liu Xu originally added an extra plot from his own creation, so that when Xia Houying was beheading Han Xin, Han Xin made a generous statement and told Xia Houying how Pei Gong would leave Hanzhong in the future. And how to unite the princes to resist Xiang Yu's remarks, so as to become a blockbuster, get Xia Houying's approval, and keep people under the knife.

Liu Xu thinks this is a reasonable plot, otherwise, how could Xia Houying let Han Xin go just because of such a sentence of beheading a strong man?

But after writing this paragraph, Liu Xu always felt a little strange, because it was not in line with Han Xin's character and personality.

So Liu Xu deleted the plot he wrote, and then repeatedly recalled the records about Han Xin in the history books, but he couldn't find many valuable clues.

It wasn't until Liu Xu changed his mind and began to ponder about Xia Houying's related records that he finally figured out some historical clues.

Then Liu Xu found himself in a misunderstanding. He always thought that it must be Han Xin, and he did something at this time to make Xia Houying think that Han Xin was a valuable talent, so he didn't kill Han Xin.

But this was actually a mistake, because Han Xin was too dazzling, so Liu Xu naturally focused on Han Xin.

But in fact, it was Xia Houying who held the knife in his hand at that time, and he was the one who decided whether to kill Han Xin. If you want to study why Han Xin escaped death at that time, you should focus on Xia Houying.

And once you study Xia Houying carefully, you will find that this person is actually very interesting.

In the historical memory of most Chinese people, Xia Houying is a very unfamiliar name, and most people have no memory of this name at all.

The few who know something probably only know that Xia Houying is Liu Bang's coachman, who is responsible for driving Liu Bang.

If you know more, you will know that Xia Houying is the savior of Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan. When Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu and fled in a car, because he disliked these two children and affected his speed, the result was several times. Kicked the two children out of the car for the first time, and let Xia Houying drag him to run quickly.

But Xia Houying was very determined to stop every time, and put the two children back on the car before starting again. This saved the lives of the two, otherwise, if they were chased by Chu's pursuers, they would be killed. God knows what the outcome will be.

And this is the Xia Houying that 99% of Chinese people know, a generous and honest person, not very smart.

But in reality, Xia Houying was far from that simple.

First of all, although Xia Houying is a member of Liu Bang's Peixian Tiantuan, Xia Houying is different from the other members. He did not grow up with Liu Bang since he was a child, but joined Liu Bang's small group later. In terms of time, it was even later than Xiao He and Cao Shen.

But once Xia Houying got in touch with Liu Bang, he was very close to Liu Bang. Even if Liu Bang didn't respect Xia Houying very much, and even hurt Xia Houying by mistake once because of a joke, Xia Houying laughed it off.

But this incident was later exploited by someone with a heart, and was sued to the county government, saying that Liu Bang was abusing lynching and fighting at the same time. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, this was the crime of being dragged into the army.

However, Xia Houying has always firmly stated that the wound was not caused by Liu Bang, but that he accidentally fell while walking. In the end, Xia Houying was even imprisoned in a prison for about a year before he came out. But he never let go, which completely won Liu Bang's trust.

But what many people don't know is that Xia Houying is actually an extremely ferocious general.

When many people mentioned Liu Bang's fierce generals, Fan Kui must be the first thing that comes to mind, and Guan Ying after that. I am afraid that no one would think that Xiahou Yinghui, who was a full-time driver for exile, was a fierce general.

But as long as you carefully study the achievements of Xia Houying in the history books, you will find that in the early stage of Liu Bang's rise, Liu Bang used Xia Houying as a fierce future.

Every time there is a big battle, the first one to rush up is not Fan Kuai, but Xia Houying.

What's even more amazing is that while others rode horses to charge, Xia Houying charged in his chariot, and the charge was extremely ferocious.He was able to drive the chariot towards the army lined up, and then with his superb driving skills, he directly rushed out of a gap in the army, and along the way he controlled the chariot to directly collide with many people to death.

After dismounting, he was still able to kill the Quartet, so that Liu Bang's first reward was actually Xia Houying, and Fan Kuai was behind Xia Houying.

And after Liu Bang started to march into Guanzhong, Liu Bang asked Xia Houying to collect a large number of chariots, and finally formed a chariot army, which seemed quite retro in the Chu and Han Dynasties, and then handed over this army to Xiahou baby command.

And this army is extremely powerful in field battles. When Liu Bang fought, Xia Houying often led the chariot army to the front, followed by the infantry led by Fan Kui, and Guan Ying's cavalry surrounded him from both sides. The first person who contacted the enemy and then opened his mouth was Xia Houying.

Therefore, Xia Houying's record was quite strong during the entire period of entering Guanzhong, and he was comparable to Fan Kuai in terms of force.

Xia Houying really became Liu Bang's full-time driver when Liu Bang won Guanzhong and then fought head-on with Xiang Yu.

And the core purpose of Liu Bang letting a member like Xia Houying come to be a full-time driver for him is to let Xia Houying protect him.

After all, Liu Bang was the one who kicked his two children off the chariot in order to make the chariot faster.Therefore, Liu Bang is often the only one in the car, and Xia Houying who is in charge of driving.

So in many cases, besides the driver, Xia Houying's more important role is actually Liu Bang's bodyguard, responsible for protecting Liu Bang's life.

Think about it, everyone, if you choose a personal bodyguard, do you have to choose someone who is the most loyal to you and has a very high force value to be your bodyguard.

It's like Cao Cao asked Dian Wei and Xu Chu to be his bodyguards, Sun Quan asked Zhou Tai to be his bodyguards, and Zhao Yun was also Liu Bei's bodyguards for a long time, so Xia Houying is actually the same person as Zhao Yun.

And this fully reflects Xia Houying's force, so what about Xia Houying's wisdom?

Many people may think that Xia Houying is a simple-minded guy, but he was able to survive the period when Empress Lu was in power, and was always regarded as her own family by Empress Lu, but when Empress Lu died, she was the first to join the Zhulu Group , and even entered the palace in person, took out the emperor and several princes and kings to kill him, would this be a person without wisdom?
