Chapter 562 You have to clean up your own mistakes!

Gao Yao's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking Han Xin. He stared at Gao Yao with wide eyes, looking at him in horror, as if he had seen something terrible.

Han Xin said quickly: "My lord, please take back your order. My loyalty to you is witnessed by heaven and earth, and by the sun and the moon. If you don't believe me, I am willing to die to prove my loyalty!" There was a hint of panic in Han Xin's voice, and it was obvious that he attached great importance to Gao Yao's words.

Gao Yao nodded, seeming to be satisfied with Han Xin's attitude. He slowly said: "Well, it's good that you realize the seriousness of the problem. In addition, I will still send someone to check the matter to make sure nothing is missed."

After saying that, Gao Yao looked at the sky outside the window and continued, "It's getting late, and I should go to rest. The rest of the matters are left to you to handle." He patted Han Xin on the shoulder, then stood up and walked straight to the backyard.

Seeing Gao Yao slowly leaving, Han Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he did not intervene directly in this matter, Gao Yao still had high expectations for him. After all, Han Xin is no longer the small role he was when he first started. He has his own reputation and trusted team.

As for Gao Yao, he knew very well that these things could not be stopped. As Han Xin's status and position continued to rise, his subordinates would naturally form their own small groups. This was a manifestation of strength and was inevitable.

If Gao Yao cannot tolerate even this kind of thing, then his desire for control is too strong and the pressure he puts on others is too great. Such a person will not only work himself to death, but also make his subordinates extremely wary of him. After all, no one wants to work under a leader who is ruthless and calculating about everything.

Therefore, Gao Yao very wisely gave Han Xin a chance, a chance for him to deal with those disobedient subordinates himself. This was a matter that could be big or small, but it had to be handled by Han Xin. Because if Gao Yao took action personally, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some generals.

This dissatisfaction sometimes directly leads to some adverse consequences. After all, people's minds are unpredictable, and it is inevitable that someone will take advantage of this incident to make a fuss and sow discord between Han Xin and Gao Yao. No matter how confident Gao Yao is, he cannot resist the gossip of the crowd.

As the saying goes, "dripping water wears away a stone", with more and more similar things happening, Han Xin will inevitably become suspicious and begin to suspect whether Gao Yao is deliberately targeting him and creating opportunities for him so that others can take the position. Once this idea takes root in Han Xin's mind, the relationship between them will probably become precarious.

Therefore, Gao Yao decided to seize the opportunity of Han Xin's initiative to report this matter and let Han Xin handle it personally. This contains the truth that "the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager". Although Gao Yao has a high status and the entire southern border is under his control, for most middle and low-level generals, they may not even have seen Gao Yao. In actual work, they most often come into contact with Han Xin, or even Han Xin's subordinates.

In this case, Han Xin needed to set an example. He personally dealt with these subordinates, which not only established his own prestige, but also benefited the future construction of the army. In this way, similar incidents could be effectively prevented from happening again and the discipline and order of the army could be ensured.

In addition, Han Xin's personal handling of the matter also demonstrated his upright attitude, which was crucial in future work and had a positive impact on both his personal reputation and the image and atmosphere of the entire army.

Gao Yao didn't need a general who only knew how to fight, but a general who could take charge of a region. That's why Gao Yao spent so much time training Han Xin. It was for this reason that Gao Yao stayed for three days.

This plan was not aimed at just Han Xin, but the small group headed by Han Xin expanded very quickly after destroying the imperial army. Especially after Gao Yao left the county city, power basically fell into the hands of Xiao He, Cao Shen, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang.

At this time, several people restrained each other and formed a delicate balance. In this situation, it was not easy to attack others' subordinates, because no one could bear the charge of such an incompatibility. Xiao He was no exception.

In fact, Xiao He did remind Han Xin, but there were two main reasons why Han Xin was able to quickly gain prestige in the army and win over the hearts of the troops.

First of all, Han Xin had extraordinary personal charm. What he said was often from the perspective of the soldiers, taking into account their interests and needs. Such a general would naturally be supported and loved by more soldiers.

Secondly, Han Xin's ability to stand out on the battlefield is also unquestionable. No matter how great a general's personal charm is, if he does not have the ability to win on the battlefield, it will be difficult to win the trust and following of the soldiers for a long time. Han Xin just has this ability. He repeatedly defeated the enemy on the battlefield and demonstrated his outstanding military talent.

For those who join the army, they may just join to make a living, but who would refuse the opportunity to make achievements? After all, everyone is eager to achieve something in their life, and following a general who can lead them to victory is undoubtedly the best way to achieve this goal.

At this time, Xiao He's reminder hit Han Xin's heart like a heavy hammer. Coupled with the deliberate influence of some people with ulterior motives, Han Xin began to gradually feel that Xiao He seemed to be doing this intentionally in order to suppress the promotion of his subordinates.

Han Xin naturally could not tolerate such a thing from happening. After all, the better the position of each individual's small interest group, the more important they would be under Gao Yao's command, and the higher their prestige would be in the future, and the more benefits they would naturally get.

Of course, similar situations did not only occur under Han Xin, but also under the command of several other people. However, in sharp contrast to them, the probability of similar situations occurring in the new generation faction led by Zhang Liang and Ying Bu was very small, or the influence they could produce was also minimal.

This is like the fisherman gaining from the quarrel between the snipe and the clam. Gao Yao originally expected that many people would pay the price of their lives in this incident, and there would probably be many people affected from top to bottom. Through this incident, Gao Yao finally understood deeply why the emperor must not leave the palace easily, and why he could not easily leave the political center. He was not even an emperor yet, but the impact was not small.
