He is the most famous rogue emperor in Chinese history, Liu Bang
Let's start with history.

One day in the winter month of 256 BC, Liu Bang was born in Zhongyangli, Peifeng City. This year is very important, because he and Lu Wan were born in the same year, the same month and the same day, and the two families are very close.

Liu Bang looked a little strange when he was young. Of course, as long as he was an emperor, he looked strange when he was young.

Let's take a look at Liu Bang's appearance.

His forehead is high and protruding, his sideburns and beard are beautiful, and he has 72 moles on his left thigh. When he gets older, he doesn't like to work in the fields, so he is often reprimanded by his father, saying that he is not as good at running a business as his elder brother.

Not only did this not cause confusion to Liu Bang, but after the unification of the world in the future, Liu Bang even joked about this matter with Mrs. Liu: "Which one of my brothers and I created the biggest foundation?"

Liu Bang was idle when he was a teenager, which made adults think that Liu Bang had no ambitions, could not make money, could not work, and had no income, but Liu Bang still went his own way.

Liu Bang envied Wei Gongzi Xinling Lord Wuji very much, he wanted to join Lord Xinling's family, so Liu Bang resolutely bid farewell to his family when he was young. He traveled west to Daliang, but the result was very bad. Lord Xinling was dead. .

And Zhang Er, the guest of Lord Xinling, also summoned the guests, so he came to Waihuang and joined Zhang Er's door. The two became close friends. In desperation, he returned to his hometown of Pei County.

Later, by chance, Liu Banghou became the head of the pavilion in Sishui, Pei County (the head of the pavilion is a small official within ten miles).

After a long time, Liu Bang's hospitable temperament made him get acquainted with the officials of Peixian County very well, and he was also well-known locally.

Liu Bang has a big heart. On the way to send the soldiers to Xianyang, he met Qin Shihuang's brigade. From a distance, Qin Shihuang was sitting in a beautifully decorated car. Like this!"

This is the original dream of the future emperor of the Han Dynasty.

When it comes to Liu Bang, let's talk about Liu Bang's wife first. His wife is Lu Gong's daughter Lu's family, named Lu Pheasant.

Duke Lu forged an enmity with the people in his hometown and later settled in Peixian County. Because Peiling and him were good friends, when he first arrived in Peiling, many people heard about his relationship with the county magistrate.

So people came to visit, and Liu Bang heard about it and went to join in the fun. At that time, Xiao He, who was the chief bookkeeper in Peixian County, presided over the reception of the guests. He announced a rule: Anyone with a gift of less than one thousand yuan will come Sit down in the hall.

Liu Bang didn't care about these things at all. Although he didn't bring any money, he said to the person in charge of sending the message: "I will give you [-] money for congratulations!"

When Lu Gong heard about it, he hurried out to meet him personally. When he saw Liu Bangqi's stately appearance, he liked it very much. Please come to the table and sit down.

Lu Gong is a man who likes to meet people, and when he sees Liu Bang's appearance, he respects him very much.

Xiao He said: "Liu Ji has always been full of big words, and rarely achieves anything."

Liu Bang took the opportunity to tease the guests, and simply sat on the top seat without giving in at all. After drinking to his heart's content, Lu Gong gave Liu Bang a wink and told him to stay. After Liu Bang finished drinking, he stayed behind.

Lu Gong said: "I have liked to meet people since I was young. I have met many people. No one can compare with your Liu Ji's face. I hope you cherish yourself. I have a biological daughter. , I would like to promise you to be your wife and concubine."

After the banquet was over, Lady Lu was very annoyed at Duke Lu, and said: "At first you always wanted this daughter to be famous and betrothed her to a nobleman. Peiling is close to you, and you disagree with wanting to marry this daughter. Why do you want to marry this daughter today?" You just betrothed her to Liu Ji?" Lu Gong said, "This is not what women know." Finally, he married his daughter to Liu Ji.

Lu Gong's daughter is Empress Lu, who later gave birth to Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan.

As the head of the pavilion, Liu Bang escorted the apprentices from Sishui County to Lishan Mountain. Many apprentices escaped halfway. Liu Bang estimated that they would all escape when they reached Lishan Mountain. When they reached Mount Mangdang, they stopped to drink. , Taking advantage of the night to release all the servants.

Liu Bang said: "You all run for your lives, and I will go far away from now on!" More than a dozen strong men in the apprenticeship were willing to follow him.

Liu Bang took advantage of his drunkenness to take a small path through the swamp at night, and let the person who walked ahead come back and report: "There is a big snake blocking the road ahead, let's go back."

Liu Bang was already drunk and said, "What's so scary about a man walking!"

So he rushed to the front and drew his sword to cut the big snake. The big snake was cut in two, the road was opened, and he went on for a few miles.

When the people behind came to the place where the snake was cut, they saw an old woman crying in the dark. Someone asked her why she was crying, and the old woman said, "Someone killed my child, and I was crying for him."

Someone asked, "Why was your child killed?" The old woman said, "My child was the son of the White Emperor, who transformed into a snake and stood in the middle of the road. Now he was killed by the son of the Red Emperor. That's why I cried. "Everyone thought the old woman was lying and was about to beat her, but the old woman suddenly disappeared.

The people behind caught up with Liu Bang, Liu Bang woke up, those people told Liu Bang what happened just now, Liu Bang was secretly happy and became more conceited, and those who followed him gradually feared him.

In 209 BC, the peasant uprising broke out at the end of the Qin Dynasty. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the rebel army to capture Chenzhou (now Huaiyang, Henan), Chen Sheng established the "Zhang Chu" regime and openly opposed the Qin Dynasty.

At this time, the county magistrate of Pei also wanted to respond and continue to control the power of Peijun. Xiao He and Cao Shen were the main officials under the county magistrate at that time. Second, it can also prevent future troubles.

The county magistrate thought it was reasonable, so he asked Liu Bang's close friend Fan Kui to bring Liu Bang back, and Liu Bang took people back to drive back. Killing is tantamount to luring wolves into the house.

Therefore, he ordered the city gate to be closed and prepared to arrest Xiao He and Cao Can. After hearing the news, Xiao He and Cao Can hurriedly fled outside the city. Liu Bang shot the letter into the city and encouraged the people in the city to rise up and kill the rebellious county magistrate. hometown.

The people were very dissatisfied with the county magistrate who was not very sympathetic to them. After killing the county magistrate, he opened the city gate to welcome Liu Bang, and elected him as Peigong to lead everyone to revolt. Liu Bang followed the public opinion, set up an altar, set up a red flag, and called himself Red The son of the emperor, led the people to raise the banner against Qin.

This year was already October 209 BC, and Liu Bang was 10 years old. There was still a powerful force in the peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty, which was Xiang Ji (namely Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu's name) and his uncle, the descendants of the original Chu nobles. Xiang Liang raised troops in Wuzhong (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and his army strength soon reached nearly 48.

After Liu Bang's incident, he immediately began to attack the surrounding counties and counties. First, he attacked Huling, Xiaxia and Yufeng, and defeated him. Shoufeng led the army into Xue, and fought against the Qin army. The county guard Zhuang was defeated and fled to Qi.

Then Liu Bang led the army to Kangfu and Fangyu, and Cao Can defended Fangyu. At this time, Wei Xiangzhou came to attack Fangyu, and Cao Can led the army to meet him, but Yongchi surrendered to Wei according to Feng. Liu Bang was furious and attacked Feng and Yongzhou. Tooth occupied the city to defend, and Pei Gong's army could not go down to Feng. At this time, Liu Bang fell ill, so he returned the army to Pei.

At this time, Liu Bang heard that Lord Ning of Dongyang and Jingju of Qin Jiali were the false kings of Chu, staying in Liu (southeast of today's Pei County), so he went to Jingju and wanted to use the army to attack Feng. Ju's Zhang Liang, the two joined forces.

After Zhang Liang and Liu Bang met, they had a conversation, and the two felt that they hated seeing each other later, so Zhang Liang gave up the idea of ​​defecting to Jing Mingju, and went directly to Liu Bang, who took Zhang Liang as his stable general.

At this time, Qin general Zhang Han sent general Simani to attack Chu, Tu Xiang (now Huaibei City, Anhui), to Dang (now Mangshan Town, Yongcheng, Henan).

So Pei Gong and Dongyang Ning led their troops to the west to meet Simani, and fought with the Qin army in the west of Xiao County.

The result was unfavorable. Liu Bang and Lord Ning of Dongyang retreated to stay. After replenishing the army and food, they attacked the Qin army again. They captured Dang in three days and got 6000 soldiers.

This time, Liu Bang thought that his army was about the same. He set off from Xiayi and attacked Feng again, but he still failed. , Xiang Liang Yipei's army of five thousand and five generals and ten generals attacked Fengyi three times, but Yongchi was defeated and fled to the state of Wei.

In this way, Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, became one of Xiang Liang's generals, and soon after Xiang Yu captured Xiangyi, he returned to Xue.

When the news of Chen Sheng's death was confirmed, Xiang Liang summoned all the generals to return Xue, and adopted the proposal of Fan Zeng, the man who lived in the nest, that the descendant of King Huai of Chu during the Warring States period was the king of Chu, still named King Huai of Chu, and his capital was Xuyi. Infant is the kingdom of Shangzhu, and Xiang Liang is named Wu Xinjun.

After Queen Huai of Chu was established, Xiang Liang led his army northward to rescue Qi and Zhao, and defeated the Qin army at Kangfu and Dong'a.

So Xiang Liang ordered the Chu army to divide the army. With Liu Bang and Xiang Yu as commanders, he led a part of the Chu army to attack Chengyang, and Liu Xiang led the army to capture Chengyang and slaughter it.

Then pursue the Qin army to the east of Puyang, and defeat the Qin army again. At this time, the Qin army was supplemented, and the army regained strength, defending Puyang and Huanshui. , gave up, and attacked Yongqiu (now Qixian County, Henan Province) in the west. Pei Gong defeated the Qin army with Cao Shen, beheaded Li You, the guard of Sanchuan, and captured the Marquis of Qin.

The death of Xiang Liang made the princes terrified, and the Qin army even chased northward with the remaining power of the victory. After a series of victories, Zhang Han believed that the state of Chu was not enough to worry about, so he went north to attack the state of Zhao, captured Handan and moved to his hometown. The people were in Hanoi, and the Zhao army retreated to Julu. Zhang Han led his army to encircle Zhao Wangxie and Zhao Xiang Zhanger in Julu.

At this time, King Huai of Chu moved the capital from Xuyi to Pengcheng, and appointed Xiang Yu and Lu Chen's army as their own generals. Lu Chen was Situ, and his father Lu Qing was Ling Yin. After some adjustments, the situation in Chu State stabilized.

Zhao Wang and Zhang Er were trapped in Julu, and sent envoys to Chu to seek help from Chu State. After discussion, King Huai of Chu agreed to rescue Zhao. With Song Yi as the main general, and the West Route Army with Liu Bang as the main general, it was agreed that whoever entered Guanzhong first would be the king of Guanzhong.

At that time, due to the strength of the Qin army, the whole state of Chu was not optimistic about the Western Expedition, and they were unwilling to lead the Western Expedition. Therefore, they took Pei Gong as the commander of the Western Expedition Army. The excuse was that Liu Bang was generous and could reduce the resistance to the West, while Xiang Yu Because of his uncle's death, he actively requested to follow Pei Gong to the west, but all the veterans of Chu rejected Xiang Yu's request on the grounds that Xiang Yu was a "Bian thug" and "all his mistakes were ruined" were not conducive to the west expedition, and let him serve as the Northern Commander. The second general of the Route Army went north to rescue Zhao.
