Chapter 79 The "Three Heroes" in the Early Han Dynasty
Ying Zheng felt inexplicably happy. He said: "Qing just mentioned that Pei Gong said that he had Xiao He, Zifang, and Han Xin to use in order to conquer the world. , who are these three people? "
Xiao He and Han Xin are okay. What did Zhang Liang say? He was the person who assassinated the First Emperor in history. Li Nian hopes that Zhang Liang can hide it better and don't do it because of him. And was arrested.
Li Niandao: "These three people are called the 'Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty'. Of course, they are not the only three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, but they are the best among them."
" Xiao He, the first hero of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, was a native of Fengyi, Pei County, like Pei Gong. In his early years, he became the chief official of Pei County by virtue of his proficiency in laws and law and his ability to enforce the law fairly and without harm. "
He is actually an official of our Great Qin Dynasty?
It seems that Da Qin is really unpopular, even the original officials of Da Qin rebelled.
Ying Zheng was thinking, Li Nian continued: "When Pei Gong was still a commoner, Xiao He was friends with Pei Gong and helped Pei Gong many times. When Pei Gong revolted in Pei County, it was Xiao He and Cao Shen who helped him. , to succeed.”
"At that time, there was an uprising and after the county magistrate was killed, everyone was worried that the matter would not work out and the clan would be destroyed. They pushed each other and did not dare to become the new county magistrate. Only then did Pei Gong become the new county magistrate. He was called 'Pei Gong' according to the old system of Chu State."
The name "Pei Gong" originally came from this.
Ying Zheng commented: "Such pity for wealth and life, no wonder he can only be a minister, not a king."
Li Niandao: "In terms of military exploits, Xiao He is not as good as Cao Shen and Zhou Bo, and in terms of strategy, Xiao He is not as good as Zhang Liang and Han Xin. But he was responsible for guarding the rear and managing logistics for Pei Gong, so that Pei Gong and his men When the generals lead the army, they don't have to worry about lack of troops and food. They are the most solid backing of Pei Gong. "
"When Pei Gong first entered Xianyang, he saw that Xianyang was prosperous and many soldiers were looting property. Even Pei Gong couldn't help thinking. Rest and enjoy themselves in the palace. Only Xiao He did not care about money or be greedy after entering Xianyang. The beauty, however, rushed to the palace of the prime minister and the imperial censor first to collect and protect the books of laws and regulations kept in the mansion. "
When Ying Zheng heard this, he commented: "This is Xiao He's foresight, and he knows that the books of laws and regulations are better. With such wealth and beauty, it’s no wonder that Pei Gong won the world with the help of this person!”
Li Nian nodded in agreement: "That's why the books of laws and regulations collected and protected by Xiao He played a huge role in Pei Gong's victory. Xiao He also recommended Han Xin, one of the 'Three Heroes', to Pei Gong. In later generations, The allusion of "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon"
Is this Xiao He related to another "Three Heroes" Han Xin?
Also, they are both ministers under Pei Gong, so even if they are not familiar with each other, they must know each other.
"After the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Han Xin took refuge with Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu successively, but neither was reused. Then he took refuge with Pei Gong, but was still not reused. But when he was under Pei Gong, Han Xin had many conversations with Xiao He , Xiao He thinks he is a genius!"
"Although Xiao He thinks he is a genius, he has not been able to get it for a long time! When Pei Gong asked Han Xin to leave, Xiao He heard that Han Xin had run away, so he went to chase Han Xin himself. Pei Gong almost thought that Xiao He was going to run away. After the recovery, Xiao He formally recommended Han Xin to Pei Gong and called him "unparalleled in the country."
Speaking of "Unparalleled National Scholars", Li Nian thought of the special chef exam of the young master, and once used "Unparalleled National Scholars" as the test question.
"Under Xiao He's persuasion, Pei Gong went to the altar to worship the general and appointed Han Xin as the general of the army. After that, Han Xin offered advice to Pei Gong to determine the Three Qin Dynasties, capture Wei, replace, defeat Zhao, threaten Yan, attack Qi, and destroy Chu, Xiang Yu's siege at Gaixia was also commanded by Han Xin."
"Han Xin was invincible in every battle and captured every attack. He was honored as the 'Soldier Immortal' in later generations. When later dynasties set up martial temples, Han Xin was often among them, and ranked first."
Can be Being called the "Soldier Immortal" is enough to show that this person has great ability in commanding troops.
Ying Zheng asked: "How does Wang Jian rank in the Martial Temple?"
When Li Nian heard this, he knew that the First Emperor was not really asking about Wang Jian's ranking, but asking: Who is more powerful between Wang Jian and Han Xin?
Of course it was Han Xin. Although Wang Jian had the power to destroy the country, what kind of battle did Wang Jian fight, and what kind of battle did Han Xin fight?
Compared with Han Xin, Wang Jian's battles were obviously much richer. Han Xin was deprived of military power several times by Liu Bang and had to recruit his own soldiers, but Han Xin was still able to defeat the enemy with fewer soldiers and more recruits. It would be unimaginable to replace Han Xin's troops with the Qin army led by Wang Jian!
“Later dynasties set up martial temples, and ten ancient famous generals were divided into ten philosophers. Han Xin was among them, but General Wang Jian was not.”
Li Nian specially added: "Wu Anjun was once one of the ten philosophers!"
It's just that Bai Qi's seat in the martial arts temple was kicked out by Song Taizu during the Song Dynasty.
The reason is that he rises and kills in vain, and he is not worthy of enjoying the incense of the Wu Temple.
‘This Han Xin’s ability can be compared with that of Lord Wu An. I wonder if it can be used by others? ’
Li Nian continued: “However, Han Xin’s final death and clan destruction were also due to Xiao He, so later generations have a saying, ‘Success is due to Xiao He, and failure is due to Xiao He’.”
As soon as he heard this, Boss Zheng was immediately happy. Then Pei Gong killed Han Xin?
It seems that its capacity is no more than this!
Look at him, his heroes are all doing well.
The political boss felt that he had found a place that was stronger than Pei Gong, and asked with interest: "Why did Pei Gong kill Han Xin?"
Li Niandao: "The reason why Han Xin was killed Many of them were extremely greedy, disobedient to Pei Gong’s orders, and had conflicts with Pei Gong.”
"Han Xin's meritorious service was the first among the generals in the early Han Dynasty, and his prestige in the army was extremely high. When Pei Gong was besieged in Xingyang, the situation was critical. Han Xin did not save Xingyang, but in his letter, he wanted Pei Gong to make him king..."
Only these two points, Ying Zheng understood why Han Xin was killed.
It should be said that it is normal for Han Xin to be killed, and it is strange to be alive. That would be a great honor for the king.
Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely kill Han Xin.
No matter how talented you are, no matter how strong you are as a leader?
If you disobey the king's orders and even dare to take advantage of the danger to threaten the king, you will be killed.
I am not much better than Pei Gong!
The joy in my heart suddenly dissipated.
"Han Xin was killed, and Pei Gong also had problems. When Han Xin was leading the army, Pei Gong usurped his military power several times, causing Han Xin to fear that Pei Gong would harm him."
Ying Zheng commented: " The monarch and his ministers are suspicious, so the result is not surprising.”
Li Niandao: "Han Xin's death was not directly at the hands of Pei Gong, but was killed by Pei Gong's wife. When Pei Gong learned about it, later generations recorded in history that 'I returned to Luoyang and heard about the death of Huaiyin Marquis, and he was happy and pitied him'." "
Ying Zheng said: "I am glad that Han Xin is dead and is no longer a worry in his heart. I pity Han Xin for his talent. There is no such unparalleled scholar in the world. Pei Gong later learned that. I don’t believe it. Without his permission, how dare his wife harm the general?”
Li Nian corrected Ying Zheng: “The king doesn’t know something. Even without Pei’s permission, his wife would dare to kill Han Xin.”
Ying Zheng uttered a confused "Oh?", and then he realized that this woman must be an unusual woman, maybe a woman like the Queen Mother Xuan.
After careful consideration, I found that it was not feasible for Lu Fei to be Fusu's wife. It was okay if Fusu was entrusted overseas, but if it was within the territory of Da Qin, the First Emperor would not allow it.
