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

"On the way to send someone to serve in Xianyang, he accidentally saw the First Emperor going on a tour in a car. He was full of imperial nobility, which attracted Liu Bang's envy and exclaimed: "A real man should be like this! "

"In one sentence, Liu Bang's ambition that has been sealed in his heart is vividly expressed."

"Perhaps Liu Bang has had lofty ideals since he was a boy. He seems to be wild and unrestrained, but in fact he is preparing for the first step in becoming a "big man": accumulating connections."

"It can be seen from Liu Bang's ability to make connections, and another point is from his marriage with Lu."

"There is nothing wrong with what the Queen said just now. When it comes to Liu Bang, how could it be possible without Lu Pheasant, the woman who took great care of Liu Bang in the early stage."

"Lv Zhi's father, Lu Gong, came to settle in Peixian County because of a feud with others. He made good friends with the county magistrate, and local people came to visit him to establish relationships. Liu Bang, who likes to make a lot of connections, also went to join in the fun."

"The person who is hosting the reception of the guests is Xiao He, the chief registrar of Peixian County. It is stipulated that those whose gift money is less than one thousand yuan can only sit in the hall."

"Liu Bang didn't have that much money, so he couldn't bear to admit it, so he just said, "I'll give you [-] yuan as a gift!" ""

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

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

"But Lu Gong didn't care about the so-called gifts and money at all. What he valued was Liu Bang's courage and appearance."

"It turns out that Lu Gong has the skill of fortune-telling. Looking at Liu Bang's face, he thought he was a rich and powerful man, and he was even willing to marry his daughter Lu Pheasant to him."

"So, Liu Bang relied on his thick skin and courage. He was first treated as a guest by Lu Gong, and then became his son-in-law, and accumulated a lot of network resources for himself."

"I won't talk about Empress Lu for now. You may not be satisfied with what I'm talking about now. This woman who carried out Liu Bang's life. Only after talking about Liu Bang can we 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 You should also know at this time that Liu Bang is still a small pavilion chief at this time, and Lu Pheasant is getting married."

"I will continue to talk about Liu Bang."

"In the eyes of outsiders, they may think that Liu Bang is obsessed with saving face and talks all kinds of nonsense, but it's just a show."

"But for Liu Bang personally, this matter is very promising. It's just a big talk. If it succeeds, he will gain a network of connections. If it doesn't, it will just lose face and not be mentioned."

"Weighing the pros and cons, and knowing the pros and cons, his vision is evident."

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

"Correspondingly, his advantage is equally obvious, that is, he dares to do something and fight hard. This is something that many people who achieve great things have."

"He is unrestrained and unrestrained, extremely courageous, and has almost no scruples. Perhaps it is for these reasons that later generations rated Liu Bang as a rogue."

"It's just that it's not objective enough to simply and crudely think that the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty was a ruffian. His "ruffian" was more like an informal style." "Of course, to become a "big man", you only need to have connections. It’s not enough, you also have to control the hearts and minds of the people, this is the most brilliant thing about Liu Bang.”

"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. He never thought that he could ascend the throne and become emperor at the beginning. He only wanted to be a "big man" by accumulating connections."

"Until the end of the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor became violent, promulgated strict laws, launched large-scale corvee labor, and levied strong men to build the Great Wall. The common people were miserable and social conflicts were intense."

"Liu Bang, who was in Peixian County, realized that he had the opportunity to raise an army. Even if he could not become the emperor, he would still be considered a man if he could be granted the title of marquis and prime minister."

"Once, he was ordered to escort his apprentice to Lishan Mountain to serve his sentence. The apprentice knew that once he arrived at Lishan Mountain, he would definitely have a life worse than death. Many people escaped on the way, risking their heads being beheaded."

"Liu Bang couldn't handle it. He knew that if he allowed people to escape, they would definitely suffer disaster when they reached Lishan Mountain. He simply did not stop and released all the prisoners. He bluntly said that he also wanted to escape. At that moment, more than a dozen strong men were deeply moved and were willing to follow."

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

"During this period, many strange legends about Liu Bang suddenly appeared among the people, including what Liu Xiu said last time, "Liu Bang was drunk at night and killed the white snake", and there were also strange legends such as "the son of the red emperor" and "the clouds swirling around".

"Liu Bang has already embarked on the path of rebellion from the moment he released the prisoners. Coupled with his past connections, it can be inferred that he has long been interested in revolt. This so-called legend should be that he and his wife Lu They spread it to create momentum.”

"Anyway, I don't believe it. How can these evil things be so coincidental!"

"Then according to what I said, this is to build momentum, so I have to admit that Liu Bang is indeed smart."

"He already had many connections in Pei County. Now that these legends have spread, Liu Bang's prestige has been greatly enhanced and he has won the hearts of the people."

"He once again put on a benevolent and righteous attitude, attracting young people from nearby Peixian County to come to seek refuge. His power expanded to several hundred people, which became the basis for future uprisings."

"In 209 BC, Chen Sheng joined forces with Wu Guang, chanting "Princes and generals should be more willing to live together" and revolted in Daze Township against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty."

""In this year, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Daze Township and quickly 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 magistrate was afraid of his power and did not dare to open the city gate. Liu Bang devised a small plan and shot a letter into the city, inciting people to kill ordinary people. A county magistrate who doesn’t know how to care about the people.”

"Xiao He and Cao Shen in the city also cooperated. In the end, the people worked together to kill the county magistrate, welcomed Liu Bang into the city, and elected him as the magistrate of Pei County. Therefore, Liu Bang was also called "Pei Gong". He called himself the son of the Red Emperor and recruited troops to expand the army in the surrounding area. .”

"Liu Bang obeyed the public opinion, raised a banner, announced the rebellion against Qin, and sent Fan Kuai, Xiao He, Cao Shen and others to recruit troops separately. The team soon grew to several thousand people. In this year, Liu Bang was 48 years old."

"In the early days of the uprising, Liu Bang led Cao Shen, Xiao He, Fan Kuai and others to fight in Fengyi and Peixian counties, and his force expanded to about 3000 people. During the period, he met Zhang Liang by chance. They hit it off and Zhang Liang joined his army."

"Liu Bang didn't have any great abilities, but he knew people well and knew how to listen to their opinions. This is exactly the characteristic of a "bright master" that many counselors long for, because only such a person will listen to counselors' opinions and give counselors a chance to show their talents."
