"Xiao Cao in Troubled Times" - the creator behind the Han Empire
Xiao He, a petty official in Peixian County, and Cao Shen, a jailer - no one could have imagined that these two low-level people would become the founders of the Han Empire.
A person who is good at planning the overall situation is a genius in logistics and political strategy; a person who is good at fighting is a sharp blade in attacking cities and territories. From raising troops in Peixian County to returning the Three Qin Dynasty, from the struggle between Chu and Han to the unification of the world, they are Liu Bang's sharpest double-edged sword, and they are also the most familiar people in each other's mirror.
Xiao He sat in Guanzhong, transported grain and mobilized troops, and created a rear area that would never fall; Cao Shen was wounded seventy times, destroyed more than a hundred cities, and established the strongest territory for the Han Dynasty. One of them is at the height of the temple, the other is in the danger of the battlefield, and together they supported Liu Bang's imperial hegemony.
However, after the success, there was an undercurrent.
When Xiao He became the number one hero of the Han Dynasty, was Cao Shen unwilling to do so?
When Cao Shen succeeded as prime minister, why did he follow Xiao He's old system of "Xiao rules and Cao follows"?
This is not a simple reconciliation between generals and generals, but an ultimate tacit understanding that spans life and death.
They are both opponents and confidants - I understand your talents and strategies, and you know my pragmatism.
Open this book and see through the grudges, hatreds and peerless wisdom of the first partner in the founding of the Han Dynasty. Their cooperation and competition defined what is the cornerstone of the empire, what is the character of a scholar and the demeanor of a military commander.
