When discussing heroes in history, there will always be people mentioning Liu Bang and Xiao He, these two figures who emerged during the turbulent period of the late Qin Dynasty and became the figures on the stage of history, but I am always curious, why is Liu Bang, a "scoundrel", a "scoundrel" in Pei County, the final winner, and Xiao He, a thoughtful person who racks his brains all day long, failed to become the boss? Today, I will talk to you about these two people, and by the way, unlock the real story behind them

Walking in the long river of history, it is not difficult for us to find that heroes are born in troubled times, a group of poor people are oppressed so much that they can no longer bear it, and they have risen up, in this context, Liu Bang and Xiao He rose from Pei County and became part of many rebel armies, Liu Bang is a pavilion chief from a flat-headed people, not only has good popularity, but also has a "Zhongshan wolf" momentum, so that those who follow him have the same passion, and Xiao He is a master Peng, smart and capable, thoughtful, so he has shown extraordinary ability since he was a child, It is these two people who seem to have opposite personalities who end up on different destinies
Putting aside the heavy sense of history, let's start with the character, Liu Bang's bold personality is like a neighbor who ignores the scoundrel, always makes people feel close, his casualness and generosity have attracted a lot of followers, it's like "call me, I'll come" that feeling, he will chat with people in the bazaar, pull the relationship, play Tai Chi, eat some snacks by the way, as a result, everyone followed him, became a warm current, in the subsequent uprising, Liu Bang showed his personality charm, everyone is willing to follow him to the north and south, why? He always has a picture of "buddy is so helpful".

As for Xiao He, it is a steady man like an old firewood, who can roast you warmly, he is delicate, always thinking about the future, but sometimes, this kind of caution makes him hesitate at a critical moment and loses the best opportunity, for example, Xiao He is the kind of person who will bow his head and pick up the fallen silver in a mess, and Liu Bang is the guy who doesn't care about whether it is silver or copper coins that falls, in this contrast, Liu Bang is more comfortable in the turbulent changes of the troubled times, In the end, he won the opportunity to interpret history
When it comes to employing people, it is simply Liu Bang's forte, Liu Bang is not the kind of person who can only shout, but knows how to "use people", he likes to unite the people around him tightly, and move forward with a group of like-minded partners, for example, he reused Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He, are the key to his success, under the leadership of Liu Bang, everyone feels that "I also have the opportunity to shine", so he enthusiastically joined this rebel army, and Xiao He is wise, knows how to recommend talents, In the end, he could only succumb to Liu Bang and silently assist

No matter how good the talent is in the torrent of history, you have to keep up with the pace of the times, as the deeds say, Liu Bang seized the right time and place, and took the lead in raising troops against Qin, he obviously knew that the times were changing, and the opportunity had to be seized, he could not hesitate to take Pei County, and even strive for the union of all forces, in order to realize his vision, in such a situation, although Xiao He is loyal, but lacks a sense of change, can not share this country with Liu Bang, and it is impossible to become an emperor through the ages
If Liu Bang is an actor who sways freely on the stage, Xiao He is more like a detective, taking care of the details, but unfortunately his grasp of the situation is half a beat slower, the two heroes are equally wonderful on the stage of history, but they each represent different destinies, I feel that history is a big scroll, Liu Bang wrote a brilliant chapter with his pride and ambition; And Xiao He is silently illuminated with loyalty and wisdom on the other side, but he can never become the center

We have to go back to the people who used to be in Pei County, they may all be envious of the ambition and pride of following Liu Bang to fight the world, or they may also be thinking, if it was Xiao He who did it at the beginning, what kind of trajectory might history go to, every choice has its historical significance, and history has no ifs
The story of Liu Bang and Xiao He tells us that combined with personal character and the general environment of the times, the choice of fate is actually intertwined, just like us now, when facing various choices, the seemingly simple life hides countless variables in history, you and I need to seize our own opportunities in our own "troubled times" and deduce a brilliant life

All in all, the story of Liu Bang and Xiao He is really a wonderful play, which not only gives us a taste of the charm of history, but also brings us a lot of thinking
Next time you talk about Liu Bang and Xiao, don't forget the buried stories behind them and the thoughts you and I can trigger! I hope this sharing can give you a deeper understanding of this period of history, after all, history is not only history, it is a part of our lives
