Chapter 63 Liu Bang's information
Long Hui used Feixin to check the information of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao;
In the fifty-ninth year of King Zhou, Liu Bang was born in Zhongyangli, Peifengyi, and Lu Juan was born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and the two families were very good. When he was young, he was good friends with Lu Juan. Gao Zuchang's forehead was high and bulging, his sideburns and beard were beautiful, and there were seventy-two black moles on his left thigh. When he was a little older, he didn't like to work in the field, so he was often reprimanded by his father, saying that he was not as good as his brother who could run it, and after unifying the world in the future, Liu Bang also joked openly with Mrs. Liu: Do you think who created the foundation between me and Liu Zhong (Liu Bang's second brother)?
Adults think that Liu Bang has no ambitions, can't work, and has no income. But Liu Bang still went his own way. Liu Bang Shaomu Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun is a mowgli person, and he wants to join Xinlingjun's disciples. So he went west to Daliang, but Xinlingjun was dead, so Xinlingjun's guest Zhang Er also summoned the doorman, so he went to Waihuang and threw himself into Zhang Ermen, and the two became confidants. and the fall of the Wei State, Zhang Er became a wanted criminal in the Qin court, and the guests dispersed. Liu Bang returned to his hometown of Pei County.
Later, Liu Banghou became the pavilion chief of Surabaya in Pei County, and after a long time, he was very familiar with the officials of Pei County, and he was also well-known in the local area. Liu Bang was very open-minded, on the way to Xianyang, he encountered Qin Shi Huang's brigade of men and horses, and from a distance, Qin Shi Huang was sitting in a beautifully decorated and gorgeous car, and he blurted out with envy; That's how a husband should be!
Liu Bang's wife was Lu Shi, the daughter of Lu Gong, named Lu Pheasant. After a single father, Lu Gong, and the people in his hometown settled in Pei County, because Pei Ling was friends with him. When he first arrived in Pei, many people heard about his relationship with the county order, so people came to visit. Liu Bang heard about it and went to join in the fun, and the person who presided over the reception of guests was Xiao He, who served as the chief bookkeeper in Pei County, and he announced a rule: Anyone who has less than 1,000 yuan in congratulatory gifts will sit in the hall.
Liu Bang didn't care about these at all, although he didn't bring a single money, he said to the person in charge of delivering the message: I will congratulate you with 10,000 yuan! When Lu Gong heard about it, he hurriedly came out to greet him in person. As soon as I saw Liu Bangqi Yu Xuan Ang, different from the others, I liked it very much, and I invited you to sit down.
Lu Gong likes to give people faces, and when he sees Gao Zu's appearance, he respects him very much. Xiao He said: Liu Ji has always been full of big words, and rarely accomplishes anything. Gao Zu took the opportunity to tease those guests, and simply sat down on the upper seat, not humble at all. After drinking the wine to his heart's content, Lu Gong gave Gao Zu a look and asked him to stay, and Gao Zu finished drinking and stayed behind. Lu Gong said: I like to give people face since I was young, I have given face to face many people, no one can compare to your face, I hope you cherish yourself. I have a daughter who would like to be a wife and concubine for you. When the banquet was over, Lu Yuan was very annoyed with Lu Gong and said: At first, you always wanted this daughter to get ahead and marry her to a nobleman. Pei Ling is good with you, you don't agree to marry this daughter, why did you casually give her to Liu Ji today? Lu Gong said: This is not what a woman's family understands. finally married his daughter to Liu Ji. The daughter of Duke Lü was Empress Lü, who gave birth to Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan.
Liu Bang escorted the apprentices to Lishan for Surabaya County as the pavilion chief, and many of the apprentices escaped halfway. Liu Bang estimated that he would all escape when he reached Lishan, so when he walked to Mangdang Mountain, he stopped to drink and released all the servants at night. Liu Bang said:; Flee for your lives, and I'll be far away from now on!" More than a dozen strong men were willing to follow him.
Liu Bang took advantage of the wine, and took the path through the swamp at night, letting one go first. The man who walked in front came back and reported: There is a big snake in the way, so let's go back.
Liu Bang was drunk and said: The eldest husband walks, what is so terrible!; So he rushed to the front, drew his sword, and slew the serpent. The serpent was cut in two, the road was opened, and he went on for several miles, and when he was so drunk, he lay down on the ground.
When the people behind came to the place where the snake was slain, they saw an old woman weeping in the darkness of the night. When she was asked why she was crying, the old woman said, "Someone killed my son, and I was crying for him." Someone asked; Why was your child killed? The old woman said: My son is the son of the White Emperor, who has changed into a snake and blocked the middle of the road, and now he has been killed by the son of the Red Emperor, so he cries. The crowd thought the old woman was lying, and was about to beat her, but suddenly the old woman disappeared.
The people behind caught up with Liu Bang, and Liu Bang woke up. Those people told Liu Bang what had just happened, and Liu Bang was secretly happy in his heart and became even more conceited. And those who followed him grew to fear him.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, a peasant uprising broke out, and after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the rebel army to capture Chenzhou, Chen Sheng was established; The Zhang Chu regime was openly opposed to the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, Pei's county commander also wanted to respond to the uprising to continue to control the power of Pei County, Xiao He and Cao Shen were Pei county officials at that time, and they persuaded the county magistrate to gather back the exiles in the county, so as to increase their strength and prevent future troubles. The county magistrate felt reasonable, so he asked Liu Bang's best friend Fan Hao to find him back, and Liu Bang led people to rush back. However, at this time, Pei Ling regretted it again, afraid that Liu Bang would not be able to control it when he came back, and he would be killed by him if he didn't get it right, which was tantamount to luring a wolf into the house. Therefore, he ordered the city gates to be closed and prepared to arrest Xiao He and Cao Shen. When the two heard the news, they hurriedly fled outside the city, and when Liu Bang heard this, he shot a letter into the city, encouraging the people in the city to rise up and kill the county order of rebellion, and everyone defended their hometown together.
The people were very dissatisfied with the county order that was not very sympathetic to them in normal times, and after killing the county order, they opened the city gate to welcome Liu Bang, and elected him as Pei Gong to lead everyone to start an incident. Liu Bang obeyed the will of the people, set up an altar, erected a red flag, proclaimed himself the son of the Red Emperor, and led the people to raise the anti-Qin banner.
At this time, Liu Bang was 48 years old. There was also a powerful force in the peasant war at the end of Qin, that is, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, the descendants of the original Chu nobles. They raised troops in Wuzhong, and their strength soon reached nearly 10,000 people.
After Liu Bang's uprising, he immediately began to attack the surrounding counties, first attacking Huling, Xiahe, and Surabaya to fight against Yu Feng and break it. At this time, the Surabaya soldiers, Zhou Ke, and Zhou Chang brothers joined Liu Bang's camp. Then he ordered Yongya to defend Feng, and led his army into Xue to fight the Qin army. The county was defeated and fled to Qi, and Pei Gongzuo Sima Cao pursued Zhuang without injury.
Then Liu Bang led the army to Kang's father and Fang He, and Cao Shen defended Fang He. At this time, Wei Xiangzhou City came to attack Fang He, and Cao Shen led an army to meet him. But Yongya was descended to Wei according to abundance. Liu Bang was furious and attacked Feng. Yongya was based on the city to defend, Pei Gong's army could not go to Feng, at this time, Liu Bang was sick, so he returned to Pei.
At this time, Liu Bang heard that Dongyang Ningjun and Qin Jia established Jingju as the fake king of Chu, so he defected to Jingju and wanted to borrow the army to attack Feng. On the way to Jingju, I met Zhang Liang, who was also going to Jingju. The two then joined forces.
After Zhang Liang and Liu Bang met, as soon as they talked, the two had the intention of hating each other. So Zhang Liang gave up the idea of defecting to Jingju and went directly to Liu Bang's side. Liu Bang took Zhang Liang as his general.
At this time, the Qin general Zhang Han faction sent Sima Ni to attack Chudi, slaughter Xiang, and go to Dang. So Pei Gong and Dongyang Ning led their army to the west, met Sima Ni, and fought with the Qin army in the west of Xiao County, but the result was unfavorable, and Liu Bang and Dongyang Ningjun retreated to stay. After replenishing the army and grain and grass, he attacked the Qin army again, and took the cannon in three days, and obtained five or six thousand soldiers. Then he took advantage of the victory to capture Xiayi.
This time, Liu Bang thought that his army was about the same, and set out from Xiayi to attack Feng again, but the result was still not captured. At this time, he heard that Xiang Liang was in Xue, so he left the army to surround Feng, and led more than 100 horsemen to Xue to see Xiang Liang. Xiang Liang Yipei's army of 5,000 and 5 doctors and 10 generals attacked Fengyi three times. Yongya was defeated and fled to the Wei State.
In this way, Pei Gong Liu Bang became a general under Xiang Liang. Soon, Xiang Yu captured Xiangyi and returned to Xue. When the news of Chen Sheng's death was confirmed, Xiang Liang summoned all the generals to return to Xue, adopted the proposal of Fan Zeng, a person living in the nest, and the descendants of King Chu Huai when the Warring States Period were the King of Chu, and they were still called King Chu Huai, all of which were Xuyi. King Chu Huai took Chen Ying as the upper pillar of the country, and Xiang Liang was called Wu Xinjun.
After establishing Queen Chu Huai, Xiang Liang led his army north to rescue Qi Zhao, and broke the Qin army in Kang's father and Dong'a. At this time, the Qi army led troops back to Qi because of the fields, fields, and corners. Only the Chu army pursued the Qin army. So Xiang Liang ordered the Chu army to divide the army, with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu as commanders, and led the Chu army to attack Chengyang. Liu Xiang and the others led the army to capture Chengyang and slaughter it. Then pursue the Qin army to the east of Puyang and break the Qin army again. At this time, the Qin army was replenished, and the army was revived, guarding Puyang and Huanshui. Liu Xiang and the two did not fight, bypassing the attack on Dingtao. Dingtao did not go down, gave up, and attacked Yongqiu in the west. Pei Gong's general Cao Shen broke the Qin soldiers, beheaded Li You, the defender of Sanchuan, and captured one of the Qin Marquis.
After that, Liu Xiang and the others also attacked Chen Liu, but they did not go down. At this time, the Qin general Zhang Han broke Xiang Liang in Dingtao, and Xiang Liang himself was also killed in battle. Liu Xiang and the others were shocked, and after discussing it, the two decided to give up Chen Liu and return to the east. Liu Xiang and the two divided their troops, Xiang Yu's army was stationed in the west of Pengcheng, Lü Chen's army was stationed in the east of Pengcheng, and Pei's army was stationed in Dangjun.
Xiang Liang's death shocked the princes. And the Qin army was even more coerced to defeat Yu Wei, often chasing the dead and chasing the north. After a series of victories, Zhang Han thought that Chu was no longer worried, so he went north to attack Zhao. After conquering Handan, he moved his people to Hanoi. The Zhao army retreated to Julu, and Zhang Han led the army to besiege Zhao Wangxi and Zhao Xiang to Julu.
At this time, King Chu Huai moved the capital from Xuyi to Pengcheng, and Xiang Yu's army and Lü Chen's army were self-generals. Feng Xiangyu is the Marquis of Chang'an, Ren Lu Gong; Feng Peigong Liu Bang was the Marquis of Wu'an, served as the magistrate of Dangjun, and stationed his headquarters in Dangjun. With Lu Chen as Situ, his father Lu Qing as Ling Yin. After some adjustments, the situation in Chu stabilized
King Zhao and Zhang Er were trapped in Julu and sent an envoy to Chu to ask for help from Chu. After deliberation, King Chu Huai agreed to save Zhao. However, in order to disperse the Qin army, it was decided to send a force west to attack Qin directly. The Chu Army on the North Route was led by Song Yi as the main general, and the Western Route Army was led by Liu Bang as the main general. It is agreed that whoever enters the customs first will be the king of the gates.
At that time, because the Qin army was strong, the Chu State was not optimistic about the westward expedition and was unwilling to lead the army to the west. So they took Pei Gong as the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, under the pretext that Liu Bang was generous and could reduce the resistance to the west. And Xiang Yu actively asked to go west with Pei Gong because of his uncle's death. However, the veterans of Chu rejected Xiang Yu's request on the grounds that Xiang Yu was a fierce thief and that everything he had done was ruined and not conducive to the Western Expedition, and let him serve as the deputy general of the Northern Route Army and go north to save Zhao.
Pei Gong's army sent troops from Dang and went north to collect Chen Sheng and Xiang Liang's scattered soldiers. To Chengyang, he was sandwiched between the wall bars with the Qin army. Pei Gong's army attacked the Qin army, broke the Qin army, and the Qin general Wang Li fled. Then, Pei Gong led his troops westward and met Peng Yue in Changyi. The two joined forces to attack Changyi, but before they fell, Pei Gong returned to the army. In Li, Yu Gangwu Marquis seized his army, and Pei Gong's army increased by more than 4,000 people. Then he joined forces with Wei General Huangxin and Wei Shentu Wu Pujun to attack Changyi, but did not capture it. Pei Gong Liu Bang decided to abandon Changyi and lead his army westward. Liu Bang marched to Gaoyang and visited the Magi. It happened that there was a knight in Peigong's army whose family was in Gaoyang, so he went home to visit his relatives. At this time, the Gaoyang people ate him as their fellow villager, so they asked him to introduce themselves to Liu Bang on his behalf. He said to the knight, "I have heard that Pei Gong is arrogant and looks down on people, but he has many great strategies, and this is the person I really want to follow, but I have no one to introduce me. When you see Pei Gong, you can say to him, there is a Mr. Li in my hometown, who is over 60 years old and eight feet tall, and people call him a madman, but he himself says that he is not a madman. The knight said, "Pei Gong did not like Confucianism, and many people came to him wearing Confucian hats, so he immediately took off their hats and urinated in them." When talking to people, he scolds at every turn. So you'd better not lobby him as a Confucian scholar. Li Shiqi said to him, "Just say what I taught you." After the knight returned, he calmly told Pei Gong according to Li Sheng's instructions.
So through the knight's recommendation, Li Shiqi met Pei Gong. But when Liu Bang summoned him, he was sitting on the bed and asked the two women to wash his feet. Li Shi was so full that he didn't bow down, and directly reprimanded: Do you want to help the Qin State attack the princes, or do you want to lead the princes to destroy the Qin State? Liu Bang scolded: You are a slave and a Confucian! The people of the world have suffered from the Qin Dynasty for a long time, so the princes have successively raised troops to resist the tyrannical Qin, how do you say to help the Qin State attack the princes? Li Sheng said: If you are determined to gather the people and gather volunteers to overthrow the tyrannical and unscrupulous Qin Dynasty, then you should not use such a stubborn and rude attitude to meet the elders. So Liu Bang got up and apologized, and after tidying up, he received Li Shi with courtesy.
At that time, Li Shiqi had a younger brother named Li Shang, and when Chen Sheng raised an army, he also gathered thousands of people to respond. Li Shiqi returned to Han, and Li Shang led more than 4,000 of his subordinates to join Pei Gong's team.
Li Shiqi persuaded Liu Bang to attack Chenliu, and Liu Bang took Chenliu from his plan and got a large amount of supplies. Then ordered Li Shang to be the general, attacked Kaifeng, and did not go down. Bypassing the westward advance, he fought with the Qin army led by the Qin general Yang Xiong in Baima and Quyu, and defeated the Qin army. Qin defeated Yang Xiong.
The Pei Gong army pursued him closely to Baima and broke the Qin army again, Yang Xiong fled to Xingyang, and Qin II sent envoys to kill Yang Xiong.
After destroying the Qin army under Yang Xiong, Pei Gong led his army south to attack Yingyang and slaughter it. At this time, Zhang Liang met Liu Bang again. Previously, Zhang Liang persuaded Xiang Liang to become the king of Han, and followed the king of Han to the west to the land of Han. However, for more than a year, every time the land was lost, the situation was never opened, so the guerrillas were in the Yingchuan area.
Liu Bang led the army to this point, joined forces with Zhang Liang's Han army, and attacked Xuanyuan and fixed the Han land. Zhao Bei sent Sima Wei to cross the river into the pass, and Liu Bang led the army north, attacked Pingyin, and destroyed the ferry. Go south and fight with the Qin army again in the east of Luoyang, which is unfavorable, go south to Yangcheng, and collect the military horses in the city. Fought with Nanyang Shouqi in the east of Lili (now southwest of Pingdingshan in Nanshan), and broke the Nanyang Qin army.
