01 The fog and truth that spans thousands of years
Xiao He chased after Han Xin, and in the "Records of History" and the "Book of Han", he said it well, and later added oil and vinegar to the Stage of Peking Opera, but when he carefully examined it, it was suspicious.
There are at least three doubts:
First, Han Xin was 25 years old, Xiao He had already passed middle age, and Han Xin ran away first, in the case of "Shu Dao difficulty", which is so easy to catch up?
Maybe you will say that Xiao He is a senior leader and has fast horses, and Han Xin only has inferior horses, or on foot, and can always catch up.
So be it.
Then the second doubt comes:
As a military general who is familiar with military books, he should have basic anti-reconnaissance ability. In the future, Han Xin led his troops - "Darkness Chen Cang" surprise attack on the Three Qins, "Sound East Strike West" smuggled across the Yellow River, "half crossed and attacked" flooded dragons and 200,000 Chu troops, even the famous "Backwater Battle" is a cover-up, there are two thousand cavalry sneaking into the enemy camp with the back hand, what he is best at is camouflage and strange plots, if he really wants to escape, how can a "little white warrior" civilian can be pursued?
Maybe you will also say, "If it weren't for the cold creek rising overnight, it would have been four hundred years for the Han Room", it was the heavy rain that the creek had soared, which blocked Han Xin from the river.
Not to mention, this plot is not recorded in the history books, as long as you go to today's Madao Town, Liuba County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi, there is indeed a stone stele of "Hanxi Night Rise", and if you look closely, you will know that it is the Great Qing Dynasty Xianfeng Nianli, and you will know that this is just a legend of posterity. Mr. Gu Jiegang's "historical layers of tired theory" explains such phenomena clearly.
Local monuments and stone tablets
Maybe you will also say, even if there is a big water, maybe Sima Qian did not write it in the book?
Well, the third suspicious point came: thank God for catching up, why did Xiao He persuade Han Xin to go back?
In fact, Han Xin left Xiang Yu to defect to Liu Bang, initially only mixed with a granary administrator, and then promoted by Xiahou Bao, promoted to the position of Commander of the Su Capital, roughly equivalent to the chief of the army, and finally hooked up with Xiao He, who was in charge of logistics. Xiao He appreciated Han Xin and continued to recommend him upwards, but he got stuck in this case, and several times and three times, Liu Bang did not use it. Han Xin was discouraged and went away.
This time "chasing and fleeing under the moon", how can Xiao He be sure that he will be able to promote him when he returns? No matter how lax the military discipline of the Han army is, it will not be punished for deserters, right? Why should Han Xin believe in you again, take this risk, and eat the grass again?
The explanation of the Peking opera "Xiao He Chasing Han Xin Under the Moon" is that Han Xin has Zhang Liang's recommendation letter on his body, but he has never taken it out with arrogance and arrogance, and was later used by Xiao He as a skill. This routine, just like in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei went to Eastern Wu to marry Lady Sun, and Zhuge Liang gave Zhao Yun three tips, which is a novelist's saying at first glance, and it should not be true.

Holmes used to say:
When you have eliminated the impossibles, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Then in this case, the remaining truth is: "Chasing and fleeing under the moon" is that Xiao He and Han Xin have colluded for a long time, playing a double reed, the purpose is to force Liu Bang to force the palace to "Han Xin to worship the general", and the mastermind is likely to be Xiao He.
02 A loyal but dishonest middle-aged uncle
As soon as he appeared in the history books, Xiao He was a middle-aged uncle and a loyal elder. We often say "loyal and honest", Xiao He is a loyal person, but in all fairness, it is not necessarily "honest". There are many such people in daily life, they seem to be generous, but in fact, there is no lack of eyesight and heart, they just use their eyesight and heart to protect themselves, not to hurt people.
Xiao He, as the chief official of Tangtang Pei County, never "lacked heart and eyes".
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was great chaos in the world, and the people everywhere killed the Qin officials stationed there and launched an uprising. In order to protect himself, Peixian County Ling sent Xiao He to contact Liu Bang, who had fled abroad, and organized forces to start an incident together. Later, seeing that Liu Bang's people were numerous, the county order repented again, closed the city gate and refused to defend, and killed the liaison officer Xiao He. Xiao He, who had a keen sense of smell, quickly sensed his embarrassing situation, and crossed the wall with Cao Shan and defected to Liu Bang, not only saving his life, but also meeting the Lord.

To say that Xiao He has "outstanding acting skills", the most prominent example is the "Liu Bang Cheating Lu" incident.
Lü Gong, a native of Shan County, was a good friend of PeiXian County Ling, and the county order hosted a banquet for him. Liu Bang did not bring a single piece of money, but only wrote a post of "congratulatory money of ten thousand", which surprised Lü Gong personally greeted the door and took it to the upper seat.
Xiao He's position at that time was roughly equivalent to that of the director of the county government office, and it was likely that he was the chief manager of the feast, and the rules for the guests to sit were set by him: "Anyone who gives gifts and less than a thousand dollars will sit down under the hall." ”
They are all old acquaintances of Pei county, who does not know who? Liu Bang, such a "scoundrel", could not make up ten thousand dollars by knocking out the marrow, and today it was made clear that he came to the door to extort a meal of wine and meat. Normally speaking, it is time to reprimand him sternly, blast out, catch up with the lord's kind words, quietly take it to the last seat, and get drunk and full.
But how did Xiao He, the general manager, "manage" Liu Bang?
It was to see through and not to say that it was broken, to hand over the "ten thousand dollars" gift sticker to Lü Gong, and let Liu Bang go straight into the public court to occupy the upper seat, allowing him to deceive Lü Gong and be shocked and respected. However, this kind of thing, pretending to be deaf and dumb is not good, so Xiao He interjected in Lü Gong's ear: "Liu Ji, this person, usually likes to talk big, and there are very few things that really happen." "The performance was impartial, and no one could blame him afterwards.

Because of this "deception", Liu Bang married a powerful daughter-in-law, Lü Yan, and rewrote the history of the Han Dynasty. Although there is a reason for the Lü Guild to meet and know people, it is also thanks to the performance of "General Manager Xiao".
With such a "previous crime", it is not so strange to say that Lao Xiao is playing a double reed with Han Xin, right?
The play should be fully acted.
"Chasing under the moon" returns, how does the plot advance?
03 An aggressive palace that has not been encountered in a hundred years
Hearing that Xiao He had run away, Liu Bang was furious and frustrated, "as if he had lost his left and right hands."
Who knew that two days later, the "left and right hands" came back on their own, and brought back a person. Liu Bang loves and hates, while scolding and asking, just don't understand, there are so many people fleeing, you old Xiao don't care, this greeting does not fight, hurriedly panic to chase, just for this little white face called Han Xin? Wouldn't that be lying to me?

Xiao He said, "The other generals who escaped could easily be recruited again, but Han Xin was the only one who was 'incomparable to the guoshi'!" If the king wanted to stay in Hanzhong for a lifetime, he could let him go now; if he wanted to fight for the world, he could only rely on wizards like Han Xin. See what the king thinks. ”
Liu Bang blurted out: "That must be going out, how can you hold back here for a lifetime?" ”
Xiao He continued, "Then reuse Han Xin!" That way he could stay, or else he would have to go. ”
Liu Bang was still unconvinced, saying: "I am a public servant, and I think I will." That is to say, I look at your face and give him a general to do it.
Xiao He did not let it go at all: "If it is not reused, a talent like Han Xin will still have to go after all." For now only a general, he will not stay. ”
As the first person to understand Chu Han, Liu Bang immediately understood this situation and agreed to worship Han Xin as a great general.
Knowing that Xiao He still did not give up, he said, "Great King, you are not very polite, this time to worship the general, not to greet children, so casual words, people Han Xin still have to leave." You have to have a sense of ceremony, choose an auspicious day, bathe and fast, build a high altar, and formally worship. ”
What can Liu Bang say? I had to promise to do it all.

Needless to say, Han Xin "even a million people, the battle will be won, the attack must be won", becoming a generation of "soldier immortals", one of the "three masters of the early Han Dynasty" in the emperor's mouth.
If we erase all the previous doubts and only look at the records in the history of letters, in this dialogue, Xiao He's performance is extremely impulsive, it is definitely not his consistent style, and his attitude towards Liu Bangzhi is tough and unforgiving, even if it is placed in the Han Dynasty Meritorious Hero Group, it is almost unique.
Is this a monarch? Isn't it the broker who negotiates the contract with the boss on behalf of the customer?
Xiao Zong, you fight so hard, what is the set?
04 Middle-aged workplace sandwich man who carries weight forward
Before the answer is revealed, let's say a paragraph:
"I'm going to join the Imperial Court and transfer you to Xianyang to work." The imperial court's Imperial History went to the countryside to supervise, Xiao He's KPI ranked first in the county, and Yushi was very satisfied, and immediately said that he wanted to promote him.
In Yu Shi's view, this is to choose the best and the best, to do the friendship of Bole, in Xiao He's hearing, but it is tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, he repeatedly resigned, Shi Zai: "He Gu please", and finally was not transferred.
Giving up the opportunity to go to the "north, Shanghai and Guangzhou" development and staying in the third-tier small county is simply incredible in the eyes of post-00s young people, but for middle-aged people in the post-70s and post-80s workplaces, it is empathetic.
Middle-aged workplace sandwich man
Killing to death does not go to Xianyang, which is a helpless choice for a middle-aged workplace sandwich man.
When people are young, they always yearn for "poetry and far away" and "the world is so big, I want to see it", but for middle-aged people, this may be just a luxury. Xiao He's entire clan, parents, brothers and nephews, at least dozens of people, under the strict system of sitting and clan annihilation in Qin Law, he had to walk carefully on the tip of the sword, seeking both merit and no fault. He has been operating in PeiXian for most of his life, and he is also considered to be able to do everything left and right, jumping out of the familiar environment and going to the strange and fiercely competitive "North, Shanghai and Guangzhou", even if he is still in the system, but it is no less than a second venture.
Such a "heartbeat", a middle-aged man really can't afford to play.
When people reach middle age, it is not that they cannot be tossed, but the cost has been greatly increased, just like Liu Bang can run away after the defeat of the war, and he will not hesitate to push his own children out of the car, which Xiao He cannot afford.
Xiao He was never alone in battle, he was leading the whole clan out with Liu Bang to make a revolution. The ironclad evidence is what Liu Bang said when the heroes of the early Han Dynasty were ranked in the first place: "All of you are single and follow me, and the largest family is only two or three people." But Xiao He, dozens of people in the whole clan have followed me to join the army, and this credit cannot be forgotten..."
Dragging the family out of the mix, and one person to eat enough and the whole family is not hungry, it is completely two realms, and the way of thinking is also very different.
Xiao He's every move and deed was never considered from a personal point of view, but he had to bear the safety and glory of the whole clan.

Although Liu Bang had a family, the most tragic time was a fugitive in the Mangzhong Mountains, who came and went without concern and could afford to play. Therefore, after Xiang Yu was sealed, Liu Bang saw that he had worked hard and achieved high achievements, but he was assigned to hanzhong who rabbits don't, and in a rage, he was going to attack Xiang Yu and fight a fish to break the net - if this were the case, the Han Kingdom would be completely finished.
At the critical moment, Xiao He quoted the scriptures to state the interests and harms, and painstakingly persuaded each other to stop this act of death. The alert is temporarily dismissed. But if the situation continues to deteriorate, God knows next time, why can Xiao hold on?
At that time, Liu Bang Group left its hometown and had reached the most dangerous moment. Korea had been restored, Zhang Liang had returned to his homeland, and the talent on Liu Bang's side had withered; Xiang Yu had only given the Han state 30,000 soldiers, and he had fled a lot; the three Qin tigers in the north were looking at each other, and their swords were hanging high. At this time, if even Han Xin's talent is lost again, there is really no hope of overturning. For people, the loss of hope is the most terrible, and at that time, the Liu Bang Group is really going to collapse.
The image of Xiao He in film and television works
Xiao He originally wanted to be a quiet workplace sandwich man, but the premise is that the upper and lower oreo are still sticky and can clamp the sugar heart, otherwise, you must be impulsive and try to save yourself - yes, it is to help Liu Bang, but also to save yourself. For the sake of the family, for the sake of the family, it is worth taking a big risk. Moreover, with his understanding of Liu Bang, the risk of doing so may not be great!
This is why there is a painstakingly planned "pursuit under the moon", there are unusually impulsive people to force the palace, everything is so illogical, and everything is so logical. Of course, acting impulsively is a dangerous act, not a conventional weapon, and it must be used with caution. In the end of His life, Xiao He was only impulsive once.
Many years later, Han Xin was the Marquis of Huaiyin in Chang'an, and he was lonely and self-congratulatory behind closed doors, and even the emperor's concubine and the hero of the Hongmen Banquet, Fan Duo, did not pay attention to it. Only Xiao He, Bei Er had face, only he could say that han xin moved, moved to changle palace, and handed it over to Lü Hou to cut. The reason for this, perhaps, is complicated.
Among the vast Chu and Han stars, Xiao He was the most human. He was not the "soldier immortal" Han Xin, nor was he the "zhisheng" Zhang Liang, nor did he have Liu Bang's domineering spirit and skill, nor did he have the clever tongue of Li Zhiqi and Pu Tong, or even the courage of Yingbu and Chen Feng to come to a rebellion that could be left after talking... Xiao He is an ordinary person who can be expected, like you and me, some small calculations, some small tricks, conscientious work, carry the weight forward. And what we do is only for our families to better survive in this world.
So-called:
The young man did not understand Xiao Xiangguo,
It's been a long time since I read it.
