Here's how it happened:
He fled to his hometown of Pei County, and wanted to settle down to rest first, but his father Liu Taigong, his wife Lu Pheasant and their children were gone. There was no way, he didn't dare to delay, so he had to continue to escape, and seeing that the sun was about to set, he had to find a place to stay.
When twilight fell, he came to a farmer's house.
I saw an old man walking out of it, Liu Bang said to him, he planned to spend the night, the old man saw that he was tired all the way, not like a bad man, so he let him into the house. After taking his seat, Liu Bang asked, "Old man, what is your surname?" Who are the people in the family? The old man coughed and replied: "The old man's surname is Qi, and his hometown was originally from Dingtao, but he fled here after the war. My wife is gone, and I have a daughter by my side. Speaking of this, the old man remembered that he hadn't asked the other party what his surname was, "Look at the strong man, he is not an ordinary person, may I ask ......?" ā
Although Liu Bang has not made too many introductions, his name is already known to women and children.
The old man didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called his daughter out and said, "Hurry up and meet the King of Han, if it weren't for this chaotic year, we wouldn't have invited this distinguished guest!" Daughter, go and prepare some wine and food to entertain King Han. ā
Liu Bangna is definitely a lustful master, wow, he is busy with wars on weekdays, and he has no time to care about choosing beautiful women, but now he has bumped into peach blossoms. Don't look at the girl in front of him as a peasant girl, but she has a different charm, both pure and beautiful, and his eyes are straight.
The old man saw that Liu Bang was in love with his daughter, and called respectfully: "The king of Han is ......, the king of Han is ......" Liu Bang turned his wandering eyes to the old man: "Ah......, old man, has your daughter ever promised to marry someone?" ā
The old man replied, "I haven't promised to marry someone yet." Once upon a time, a face-to-face man showed the little girl a look and said that she would be rich and wealthy in the future. Now that the king has really come to the humble house, you are the noble lady of the little girl! This is fate, a godsend. The old man wants to climb the king of Han, I wonder if the little girl has this blessing? ā
The old man's words just went to Liu Bang's heart, but he didn't like to show it in a disgraceful way. He hypocritically politely said a few words, and then nodded in agreement.
In order to have a certificate in the future, he immediately took off the jade pendant as an engagement token. After the two drank a glass of wine, they had a round room that night. And this peach blossom also bore fruit - with their later son, Liu Ruyi.
Liu Bang didn't dare to stay at Qi's house for a long time, so he left in a hurry after breakfast the next day.
Later, the situation stabilized, and King Han not only took Madame Qi to the palace, but also favored her very much. This extraordinary favor naturally attracted jealousy and hatred, and also planted a time bomb with powerful lethality for Mrs. Qi's mother and son in the future. These are the last words, so I won't talk about them for now.
Liu Bang fled, leaving the entire Han army in a leaderless situation.
Xiang Yu's iron cavalry was like a wolf driving a flock of sheep, driving the Han army to flee in all directions, extremely embarrassed.
From the early morning to noon - "The Chu army compressed the coalition forces in Gushui and Surabaya (now west of Xuzhou, Jiangsu), killed more than 100,000 people, and then pursued the enemy south to the east of Lingbi (now north of Huaibei City, Anhui) above Suishui, and annihilated more than 100,000 people, Suishui was the downstream. The coalition army was surrounded by the Chu army three times! ā
In less than a day's effort, the 30,000 cavalry of the Chu army killed more than 350,000 people in the Han army and the princes' troops. This time is different, these Han soldiers with weapons in their hands were basically chased and cut by the Chu army, and they were killed so that they were all fart and urine, and their souls were scattered! According to the history books, the Han army that drowned by itself was close to more than 100,000 people! The corpse blocked the entire water and could not circulate......
