"In 223 BC, Liu Bang passed the assessment and became an official of the Qin State and the pavilion chief of Surabaya County."

On the way to Xianyang to serve, he happened to see the first emperor on a patrol, full of imperial nobility, which aroused Liu Bang's envy and blurted out: "The husband should be like this!" ”

In a word, Liu Bangchen's ambition sealed in his heart is vividly expressed.

Perhaps Liu Bang has been ambitious since he was a teenager, and he seems to be a wanderer, but in fact, he is preparing for the first step to become a "big husband": accumulating contacts. ”

"It can be seen from Liu Bang's ability to make contacts, and another point can be seen from the marriage with the Lu family."

"What the empress said just now is fine, if you want to talk about Liu Bang, how can there be no Lu Pheasant, this woman who took care of Liu Bang a lot in the early stage."

"Lu Pheasant's father, Lu Gong, came to Pei County to settle down because of his enmity with others, he made friends with the county order, and the locals came to visit Pan's relationship, and Liu Bang, who likes to make friends, also went to join in the fun."

"The person who presided over the reception of the guests was Xiao He, the chief bookkeeper of Pei County, and it was stipulated that those who had less than 1,000 yuan in congratulatory gifts could only sit in the hall."

Liu Bang didn't have so much money on him, he couldn't pull his face to admit it, so he opened his mouth: "I'll give 10,000 yuan as a congratulatory gift!" ””

"When Gong Lu heard about it, he personally came out to greet him."

"Xiao He works in Pei County, so he naturally knows who Liu Bang is, and he is next to expose Liu Bang's lies."

"But Lu Gong doesn't care about the so-called congratulatory gifts and money at all, what he likes is Liu Bang's courage and physiognomy."

"It turns out that Lu Gong has the skill of face-to-face, looking at Liu Bang's face, he thinks that he is a rich and noble person, and he is even willing to marry his daughter Lu Pheasant to him."

"So, Liu Bang was thick-skinned and bold, first he was regarded as a guest by Gong Lu, and then became a son-in-law, and then accumulated a network of resources for himself."

"I won't talk about Lu Hou here, now everyone may not be satisfied, this woman who has carried out Liu Bang's life, can only know why she changed from a good wife and mother to a demon queen who brought disaster to the country and the people, but everyone should also know at this time that Liu Bang was still a small pavilion chief at this time, and Lu Pheasant was married."

"I'll continue to talk about Liu Bang."

"In the eyes of outsiders, they may think that Liu Bang wants to save face and is full of flowers, but it is just a false appearance."

"But for Liu Bang personally, this is a promising matter, but it's just a big talk, and if you become a network, if you don't succeed, it's nothing more than a loss of face, and it's not enough to worry about."

"Weighing the pros and cons, there is a way to gain and lose, and his vision can be seen."

"Of course, Liu Bang also has shortcomings, and it is obvious that he is greedy, lustful, and has a good face."

"Correspondingly, his advantages are equally obvious, that is, he dares to do and fight, which is shared by many people who have achieved great things."

"Chic and uninhibited, bold, and almost unscrupulous, perhaps it is precisely because of these reasons that later generations rated Liu Bang as a scoundrel."

It's just that it is not objective enough to simply and rudely think that the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty was a ruffian and hooligan, and his "ruffian" is more like an informal style. ”

Of course, to become a "big husband", it is not enough to have connections, but also to grasp the hearts of the people, which is Liu Bang's most cleverness. ”

Liu Bang did not have the ability to predict the future, he could not have known in advance that the Qin Dynasty would be in chaos, and he never thought that he could ascend the throne as an emperor at the beginning, he accumulated contacts, just wanted to be a "big husband". ”

"Until the end of the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor was violent, promulgated strict laws, launched a large-scale conscription, and levied strong men to build the Great Wall, the common people suffered unspeakably, and social contradictions were violent."

"Liu Bang in Pei County realized that there was a chance to raise an army, even if he couldn't become the emperor, he could be regarded as a big husband if he could be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister."

"Once, he was ordered to escort the prisoners to Lishan to serve their sentences, and the prisoners knew that once they arrived in Lishan, they would definitely live a hard life worse than death, and many people escaped at the risk of killing their heads on the way."

"Liu Bang couldn't control it, he understood that he let people escape, and he would definitely suffer when he arrived in Lishan, so he simply didn't do anything, released all the prisoners, and bluntly said that he also had to run for his life, and there were more than ten strong men who were deeply moved and willing to follow."

"Liu Bang took these people to hide in the mountains to avoid the pursuit of the Qin Dynasty, and the Lu family and others secretly helped them tide over the difficulties."

During this period, there were many strange legends about Liu Bang that suddenly happened among the people, including "Liu Bang was drunk at night and killed the white snake" mentioned by Liu Xiu last time, as well as "Red Emperor", "Cloud Qi Circling" and other strange legends. ”

"Liu Bang has embarked on the road of rebellion since the moment he released the prisoners, coupled with his past contacts and deeds, it can be inferred that he had the intention of starting an incident, and this so-called legend should be spread by him and his wife Lu Shi to build momentum."

"Anyway, I don't believe it, these evil things, how can there be such a coincidence!"

"According to what I said, this is to build momentum, which has to admit that Liu Bang is indeed clever."

"He already has a lot of contacts in Pei County, and now these legends have spread, which has greatly enhanced Liu Bang's prestige and won the hearts of the people."

He put on a gesture of benevolence and righteousness, attracting young people from the vicinity of Pei County to come to take refuge, and his power expanded to several hundred, which became the basis for future uprisings.

In 209 BC, Chen Sheng united with Wu Guang, chanting "The prince will be Xiangning has a kind of", and rebelled against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty in Daze Township. ”

In this year, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Daze Township, and soon captured Chen County and established the "Zhang Chu" regime. ”

"After Chen Sheng's uprising, Liu Bang wanted to respond, when he led his troops back to Pei County, the county commander was afraid of his forces and did not dare to open the city gate, Liu Bang used a trick and shot a letter into the city, inciting people to kill the county order who usually did not know how to sympathize with the people."

Xiao He and Cao Shen in the city also cooperated, and finally the people worked together to kill the county order, welcome Liu Bang into the city, and elected as the county commander of Pei County, so Liu Bang also has the name of "Pei Gong", he called himself the son of the Red Emperor, and recruited soldiers to expand the army in the surrounding area. ”

"Liu Bang obeyed the will of the people, erected a banner, announced the rise of troops against Qin, and sent Fan Xu, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others to recruit troops separately, and the team soon grew to several thousand, this year, Liu Bang was 48 years old."

"In the early days of the uprising, Liu Bang led Cao Shen, Xiao He, Fan Xu and others to fight between Fengyi and Peixian, and their power expanded to about 3,000 people.

Liu Bang doesn't have any great skills, but he knows how to make good use of people and knows how to listen to opinions, which is precisely the "master" characteristic that many strategists crave, because only such people will listen to the opinions of strategists and give strategists a chance to show their talents. ”
