Xiao He took a fancy to Liu Bang among all the uprising troops and decided to follow him all the time. At that time, the whole Pei county was an uprising team, led by the county magistrate. Liu bang took hundreds of people to join the rebel army, but suddenly the county magistrate broke his word and felt that Liu bang and others could not be controlled. So he closed the city gate and captured Xiao He and some celebrities.
At this time, Liu Bang encouraged others to break Pei County by force and overthrow this reneging county magistrate. Here comes the interesting thing. The people in Peixian county are also very dissatisfied with the practice of the county magistrate. They were oppressed by the county magistrate for a long time, so Liu Bang United the people at home and abroad to overthrow the county magistrate. Liu Bang was also able to go to town to discuss the uprising with the masses.
At this time, the choice of leaders becomes a problem. Although the people have been shouting Liu Bang's name, Liu Bang has always maintained a humble attitude and refused their demands. To put it bluntly, just show them.
Xiao He stood out and asked everyone to choose the ten most respected people in the county. Everyone read out the names, Xiao He wrote them down on the paper, and finally Liu Bang drew lots. But the most interesting thing is that these ten pieces of paper are all written by Liu Bang's name, so Liu Bang is also very grateful to Xiao He for letting him take the upper position without losing face.
