Friends who are familiar with the history of the Han Dynasty should be familiar with this record. However, many friends may have a question about the history of Liu Bang's uprising.
Before Liu Bangpei County Uprising, it was Xiao He who was bigger than him. Why did Xiao He follow Liu Bang after the uprising?
First of all, let me talk about Xiao He. Xiao He is a highly educated and intelligent person with an easy-going personality. Fan Kuai, Cao Can, Xia Houying and Zhou Bo, the father of Zhou Yafu, a famous Western Han Dynasty, are friends made by Xiao He, and Xiao He works in Peixian County. Although he is only a small civilian, he is still famous locally.
Let's talk about Liu Bang again. At that time, Liu Bang was a small curator in the Qin Dynasty. Liu bang was ordered to escort laborers to Lishan to build the imperial tomb for Qin Shihuang. Because of the huge project of repairing the imperial tomb, his physical strength is exhausted. After the completion of the mausoleum, the emperor usually kills people to keep the secret of the mausoleum. Workers naturally know that many of them just ran away on the way to Lishan.
Liu bang is a clever man. He wanted to run until Li Mountain was probably gone, so he stopped at Mangdang Mountain.
Let the rest of the workers go in the dark, let them run for their lives, and they themselves will run for their lives. Among them, there are more than a dozen laborers who unswervingly follow Liu Bang everywhere.
At the end of Qin Dynasty, due to the dark ruling environment of the powerful ministers of Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, people's lives were in a desperate situation, which aroused the uprising in Daze Township, Chen Sheng. Peixian county magistrate wanted to deal with the uprisings in Chen Sheng and Guangwu. Xiao He and Cao Can were also officials of Pei County at that time. They suggested that the county magistrate call back all those who fled outside the county, so as to strengthen the rebels. The magistrate felt reasonable and sent someone to invite Liu Bang back.
When Liu Bang arrived at the gates of Peixian County, the county magistrate broke his word, ordered the closure of the city gate, and arrested Xiao He and Cao Can. When they heard the news, they fled outside the city. Liu bang heard the news and encouraged the whole city to kill the county magistrate together.
The county magistrate has lost popularity because he doesn't care about the people. The people killed the county magistrate, greeted Liu Bang in Kaesong and entered the city. Xiao He and Cao Can highly recommended Liu Bang, and everyone elected Liu Bang as the leader and led everyone.
The above is the whole process of Liu Bang being elected as the leader. What are the advantages of Liu Bang's victory over Xiao He?
In fact, Liu Bang's greatest advantage lies in winning people's hearts and excellent leadership. Before, I was escorting laborers to repair the imperial tomb, letting them escape, in exchange for the loyalty of a dozen people, encouraging the people to kill the county magistrate, and the people came out to meet them. These two points also directly show that Liu Bang's netting and leadership ability are still outstanding.
And Xiao He this person, in fact, there is not much ambition. Although I want to overthrow the rule of the Qin dynasty in one fell swoop, I have no ambition to be a leader. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend Liu Bang as the leader. A person who is too ambitious will not be led by others.
On the other hand, Liu Bang is ambitious, otherwise he would not be the leader of the rebel army. You know, the uprising is very risky. If you fail, you will lose your life, but Liu Bang wants to change his destiny through the uprising. Once you succeed, you can enjoy all the glory and success.
Although Xiao He is good at strategy and knowledge, he is knowledgeable, but Xiao He is not particularly strong in leadership.
Such people are only suitable for military advisers to strategize, not for leading insurgents. The people who lead the rebel army not only have leadership ability, but also have courage. Although Xiao He is not a timid person, if he is compared with Liu Bang in some things, he is still a little short.
To sum up, although Xiao He is more famous than Liu Bang, he has no leadership ability. After all, it is impossible to be famous without leadership. A good army and a good leader will unite everyone, so that such an army will not be easily broken.
