During the seven-year anti-Qin War, Liu Bang appeared a large number of heroic civil servants and military commanders such as Han Xin, Sean, Xiao He and Cao Can. They advised Liu Bang to bravely kill the enemy. Without them, Liu Bang could not have defeated Xiang Yu.
After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang became a hero and enfeoffed seven princes with different surnames, ranking 29th in the hierarchy. Twenty-nine ranks share the food city with military merits. Among Liu Bang's twenty-nine rankings, Cao Can's food city ranks first, and Xiao He's food city only ranks fourth. According to common sense, Cao Can should take the lead. But Liu wanted to list Xiao He as the first hero, but he was strongly opposed by ministers. They think that Xiao He has no military talent. Later, with the support of a few people, Liu Bang listed Xiao He as the first hero, and Liu Bang insisted on listing Xiao He as the first hero for three reasons.
First, Xiao He did play an important role in Liu Bang's seven-year anti-Qin campaign. Liu Bang rose from Pei County to the battle, and Xiao He only supported him in the rear, but Xiao He did make great contributions to the Western Han Dynasty. Today I will give you a few examples of Xiao He's achievements.
(1) assisted Liu Bang to become Pei Gong.
After the peasant uprising broke out at the end of Qin dynasty, Pei county magistrate wanted to follow suit and oppose Qin state, but he did so many unnatural things to help Qin state that he naturally could not get the support of the people. Later, Peixian county magistrate listened to Xiao He's suggestion and asked Liu Bang to come back to preside over the uprising. However, before Liu Bang came back, Pei County magistrate broke his word and sent people to guard the city gate to prevent Liu Bang from entering. Later, Xiao He jointly killed Pei County magistrate and made Liu Bang Pei Gong.
Pei Gong regretted it, fearing that something would happen, but he sealed the town and wanted to punish Xiao and Cao. Xiao and Cao feared that they would go out of the city to protect Liu Ji. Historical records? Biography of Gaozu
(2) Recommend military genius Han Xin.
Han Xin first worked as a doctor under Xiang Yu and was Xiang Yu's bodyguard. Because it was not reused, he later took refuge in Liu Bang. After Han Xin took refuge in Liu Bang, he was not reused at first and almost lost his life. Finally, Han Xin decided to find another Lord and escape from the Han camp. When Xiao He heard about it, he put down important things and immediately chased Han Xin back. Xiao He then strongly recommended Han Xin to Liu Bang. He told Liu that if you want to seize the world, you have to use Han Xin.
Hearing this, Liu Bang disagreed. Is Han Xin really that powerful? Finally, under the persuasion of Xiao He, Liu Bang made Han Xin a general. After Han Xin was reused, he put forward Liu Bang's strategic policy of seizing the world, that is, to recapture Guanzhong first, and then seize the world based on the land of Guanzhong. Later, under the planning of Han Xin, Liu Bang successfully decided on Sanqin.

After the fiasco of the Battle of Liu Bang and Peng Cheng, Han Xin was sent to the Northern Expedition, and Han Xin successively destroyed Wei, Dai, Zhao, Yan and Qi, which directly threatened Peng Cheng, the base of Xiang Yu. Besides, Han Xin is very good. During the Northern Expedition, he constantly trained elite soldiers for Liu Bang to supplement the loss of Liu Bang's troops in Xingyang, so that Liu Bang could fight against Xiang Yu in Xingyang for 28 months. In the end, Liu Bang and Han Xin surrounded Xiang Yu, who committed suicide after defeat, and the Western Chu State perished.
(3), operating the rear area for Liu Bang.
During the hegemony of Chu and Han, Liu Bang hardly won Xiang Yu. In the Battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang's 560,000 allied troops were defeated by Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite soldiers, and the Han army was almost wiped out. After Liu Bang retreated to Xingyang, he established an effective defense line and fought against Xiang Yu for 28 months in Xingyang area. In this 28-month period, Liu Bang suffered a crushing defeat and repeated defeats, mainly because Xiao He constantly recruited him in Guanzhong to supplement his troops and pay.
Second, Liu Bang and Xiao He have a deep friendship. Xiao He and Liu Bang are fellow villagers. He entered the official career earlier than Liu Bang. Liu Bang was still a nobody when Xiao He helped Peixian County. Xiao He is open-minded and generous, and he likes to meet sages. Among the friends he made, he admired Liu Bang the most.
Liu Bang is not a law-abiding person. Before he became the director of Surabaya Pavilion, he often made some mistakes. Xiao He secretly helped Liu Bang escape. After Liu Bang became the director of Surabaya Pavilion, Xiao He protected Liu Bang even more. Once, Liu Bang was ordered to escort prisoners to serve in Lishan. As a result, half of the prisoners escaped on the way. Later, Liu Bang simply released all the remaining prisoners.

Liu bang released the prisoners without authorization. According to the law of Qin empire's birth and death, Liu Bang fled to Mangdang Mountain to live in seclusion. Pei County ordered the arrest of Liu Bang's wife, Lv Zhi. Later, Xiao He released Lv Zhi on bail.
The relationship between Liu Bang and Xiao He is old colleagues, old classmates and close friends, and Liu Bang has always attached great importance to his hometown, which Zhang Liang can't match. Sean was a counselor who was killed in the middle. Although Liu Bang has great respect for Sean and has no personal relationship with Sean, Liu Bang and Xiao He have a profound friendship.
Third, Liu Bang needs a prime minister to run the country. There are two points mentioned above. In fact, the author thinks that it is mainly because Liu Bang needs a prime minister after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and Xiao He has the talent of a prime minister. Han Xin, such a military genius, and such an excellent counselor are what Liu Bang urgently needs to fight against the genocide of Qin. After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, the large-scale war ended, and it entered the era of peaceful construction. What Liu Bang urgently needs is a prime minister who can rule the country and rule the world, and Xiao He is the first choice. Why do you say that?

After Liu Bang was ordered by Chu Huaiwang to enter Xianyang, everyone was busy grabbing gold, silver and jewels. Even Liu Bang himself was attracted by Qin Gong's luxury and refused to come down on Qin Shihuang's bed. Only Xiaohe collects confidential documents such as maps and household registration books. With the hukou book, Xiao He will know how many young men are preparing to recruit in the future. With the map, Xiao He knew the granary distribution map of the Qin Empire, and he could go out to fight in the future without worrying about rations. So Liu Bang was able to confront Xiang Yu in Xingyang and Gaoping for 28 months, mainly because Xiao He constantly provided troops and food to the front in Guanzhong, which was the talent of the Prime Minister.
When Liu Bang went to war at the front, Xiao He helped him deal with state affairs at the rear, appeased and sympathized with the people, and kept state affairs in order. Liu Bang himself said that he was inferior to Xiao He in governing the country and keeping the country safe. After Liu Bang occupied Guanzhong, he did not dismiss the original grass-roots officials, but all remained in office. In addition, Liu bang only abolished some harsh laws of the Qin dynasty, and those laws that maintained social order still existed. When it comes to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, Xiao He is all too familiar, because Xiao He once worked as an assistant to Pei County Order, which is the talent that Liu Bang really needed after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After Liu Bang became emperor, his ministers opposed the enfeoffment of Xiao He food city. Liu Bang gave a very indecent example. He said that people who lead troops to fight in person are like hounds, and Xiao He is the hunter who commands hounds. The opposition of ministers was finally suppressed by Liu Bang. Later, Liu Bang wanted Xiao He to be the first minister. In fact, his heart is also uneasy. He knew that ministers would definitely resist more fiercely, but Liu Bang really wanted to give Xiao He the title of taking the lead, because he had to rely on Xiao He to govern the country.

As Liu Bang expected, when he put forward the title of Xiao He as the first hero, he was opposed by his ministers. Ministers agreed that Cao Can should take the lead. At the critical moment, e Qian Qiu stepped forward. He said that Cao Can's contribution is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement, while Xiao He is an eternal achievement. How can a once-in-a-lifetime achievement be compared with an eternal achievement? Qian Qiu's words touched Liu Bang's heart. No sooner had he finished than Liu Bang applauded. In the end, Liu Bang allowed Xiao He to wear shoes and dance swords in the temple, sealed two thousand food cities in Xiao He, and named Xiao He's parents and brothers as liehou, so that no one spoke to ministers, and Xiao He became the first minister who made great contributions.
In a word, Sean is the highest counselor of Liu Bang. He has no real power and has never handled administrative affairs. Han Xin, Cao Can and Zhou Bo are all military commanders, and they don't know how to govern the country. Moreover, Cao Can and Han Xin are among the best in the military, and Liu Bang did not dare to hand over the state administrative power to them. Therefore, Liu Bang made Xiao He the first hero in the Western Han Dynasty for a reason. On the surface, Xiao He was the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was looking to the future, and Xiao He was an expert in governing the country. Everything Liu Bang did was to consolidate the Han Dynasty.
