Xiao He was the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, one of the three masters of the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He initially served as an official in the Qin Dynasty, served as the chief official in Pei County, in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, uprisings broke out in various places, Xiao He was also dissatisfied with qin II's tyranny and decided to revolt, Xiao He made good friends with Liu Bang, so he found Liu Bang to elect Liu Bang as the leader of the Pei County rebel army, and then assisted Liu Bang to enter Guanzhong to destroy Qin, won the victory in the Chu-Han War, and established the Han Dynasty. So what credit did Xiao He have to the establishment of the Han Dynasty?
First, recommend Han Xin
Han Xin initially served in Xiang Yu's Chu military camp, many times to Xiang Yu's advice was not adopted, Han Xin felt that xiang Yu did not need to be reused and left the Chu camp to go to Liu Bang's Han camp, Liu Bang did not feel that Han Xin had any talent, only let Han Xin take the position of managing grain and grass, Han Xin often talked with Xiao He, Xiao He felt that Han Xin was a talent, Han Xin's ideal was to lead the army to conquest, Liu Bang let him serve as a petty officer in charge of grain and grass, Han Xin felt that he would not be reused by Liu Bang, so Han Xin fled, Xiao He heard that Han Xin fled, Hurriedly chased Han Xin back, and later Xiao He told Liu Bang that Han Xin was a talent, suggested that Liu Bang reuse Han Xin, Liu Bang followed Xiao He's advice, worshiped Han Xin as a general, and then Han Xin also fixed the Three Qins under Liu Bang's account, destroyed the newly restored Wei State, Dai Guo, Zhao Guo, Yan Guo, and Qi Guo, defeated The Chu King Xiang Yu, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that without Xiao He's recommendation of Liu Bang, he would not have been able to get a general like Han Xin, and the Chu-Han War might have been fought longer.
Second, operate Guanzhong
During the Chu-Han War, Xiao He did not follow Liu Bang around as a strategist, but sat in Liu Bang's rear area of Guanzhong, pacifying the people, formulating decrees, renovating the cities and pools in Guanzhong that had been destroyed by the war, practicing benevolent government for the people, encouraging the people to cultivate, and opening up the royal forest garden of the original Qin Dynasty, allowing the people to use these lands for farming. The city was destroyed in Guanzhong due to war, and meritorious people were given knighthoods, and Liu Bang trained troops in Guanzhong. These measures by Xiao He ensured the stability of Liu Bang's rear area in Guanzhong and provided Liu Bang's Han army with a steady stream of soldiers and grain and grass, so that Liu Bang could win the Chu-Han War.
