One autumn day in 196 B.C., Yingbu, the king of Huainan, who was hunting, received a special gift from Empress Lu: human meat sauce.

Yingbu felt a burst of fear, "Han Xin is dead, Peng Yue is also dead, what will happen to me?" ”

Yingbu secretly deployed, gathered troops, and entered a state of martial law in the territory of the Huainan Kingdom. Yingbu's retainer Ben He had a conflict with Yingbu, Yingbu wanted to kill him, Ben He simply ran to Chang'an and wrote a letter to accuse Yingbu of rebellion. Yingbu killed Ben He's family and rebelled.

Yingbu was full of confidence and told his subordinates: "I am only afraid of Han Xin and Peng Yue, the generals in the world. Now that they're both dead, who else can beat me! ”

Yingbu was happy too soon! He missed one person, Liu Bang.

Liu Bang's military ability is quite powerful, if he doesn't become an emperor, there is no problem at all to being a general. Liu Bang and Han Xin commented on the ability of each general, and Han Xin said that Liu Bang could lead 100,000 soldiers. This is already remarkable, but it can't be compared with professional bulls like Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

Yingbu first defeated Liu Jia, the king of Jing, and annexed his fiefdom, then crossed the Huai River and marched north to attack Liu Bang's younger brother, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu. Liu Bang personally led his troops to defeat Yingbu, and appointed his seventh son, Liu Chang, as the king of Huainan.

The two armies met at Huijing (Daying Town, Suzhou, Anhui). Liu Bang saw that Yingbu's troop arrangement was similar to Xiang Yu's, and he was very disgusted.

Liu Bangyuan shouted to Yingbu: "Why bother to rebel? ”

Yingbu was ashamed, "I want to be the emperor!" ”

This completely tears the face. Liu Bang was very angry, don't say anything, let's fight. The two armies then fought, and the British fled. Liu Bang ordered his subordinates to pursue, and he led some of his men back to the capital first. Yingbu fled to Poyang and was killed.

When passing through Pei County, Liu Bang stopped, set up a banquet in the palace, and invited his father and fellow villagers to drink. Liu Bang selected 120 young people and taught them to sing in person.

When the wine arrived, Liu Bang hit the piano and sang impromptuly: "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown in the sea, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!" ”

Liu Bang blurted out this "Song of the Great Wind", which is known as the swan song of the ages, which is magnificent and heroic. Zhu Xi praised in "The Later Words of Chu": "For thousands of years, the words of the master have never been magnificent and wonderful. Woohoo! ”

Today, there is still a singing platform in Pei County, Xuzhou, to commemorate the triumphant return of the cloth hero, the founding emperor who returned to his hometown.

Liu Bang asked the young people to learn to sing, and he got up to dance with him, he was emotional, sad in his heart, and shed tears on his line.

Liu Bang is already sixty years old, which is considered an old man in ancient times when the average life expectancy was less than fifty years.

After many years of hardship, now the four seas surrendered and returned to their hometown. The country is picturesque, who guards it! After years of exhaustion, he may have a premonition that the flame of life is about to burn out. Now he remembers his childhood, how carefree and happy he was, his confused youth, and his dead brother.

Liu Bang said emotionally: "The wanderer is sad about his hometown! Although I built the capital of Guanzhong, I will die in the future, and my soul will still miss my hometown. When I rebelled in Pei County, I took Pei County as my Tang Muyi, exempted the people of Pei County from paying taxes and servitude, and did not have to pay taxes and serve for generations. ”

The villagers of Pei County were very happy, drinking and carnivaling like a festival, laughing and talking about old things.

The hotel where Liu Bang often went to eat overlord meals when he was the pavilion chief was still there, and the proprietress Wang Yuan was also full of gray hair, and she swore to her neighbors: "I saw that Liu Ji was not a mortal back then." ”

After more than ten days, Liu Bang is leaving. The villagers struggled to keep Liu Bang for a few more days. Liu Bang explained: "There are too many followers, and I am afraid of causing trouble to the villagers. ”

On the day Liu Bang left, thousands of people in Pei County were empty, and the people of the whole city flocked to the west of the city to say goodbye. Liu Bang stayed again and set up a banquet for three more days to entertain the villagers.

Pei County's father kowtowed to plead for Fengyi, "Pei County has exempted from taxes and servitude, but Fengyi has not been exempted, I hope Your Majesty will have mercy on them." ”

Liu Bang said with emotion: "Fengyi is where I grew up, how can I forget!" It's just that the people of Fengyi followed Yongya to betray me at the beginning, so it will be like this. ”

The villagers interceded for Fengyi, and Liu Bangcai agreed to exempt the Fengyi people from paying taxes and serving and enjoying the same treatment as the people of Pei County.

After Liu Bang's death, Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, set up the Pei County Palace as a temple, and let the 120 Pei County youths who sang with Liu Bang specialize in music work, and formed a national choir of the Han Dynasty.

According to the Hanshu Lile Zhi, during the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang had to sing the "Song of the Great Wind", which was an important ritual system in the Han Dynasty. Occasional impromptu singing generosity, from then on the world is full of voices!
