Generally speaking, people who become emperors have a certain background, either usurping the throne by military subjects on horseback, or eunuchs secretly operating to guide the emperor's other descendants to succeed to the throne. Very few commoners can become emperors, but it is not nothing, today we will talk about the commoners can become emperors - Han Gaozu, Liu Bang.
Liu Bang, born in Zhongyangli, Fengyi, Pei County (present-day Feng County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province), this person's behavior is a small in the eyes of the township people, who believe that Liu Bang has no great ambitions and is doomed to become a big thing in this life. At that time, the State of Qin had not yet unified the Six Kingdoms, and the reputation of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States was still spread outside, and Liu Bang admired Xin Lingjun very much and wanted to throw himself into his door and be a doorman, but he went too late, and Xin Lingjun was already dead. They had no choice but to throw themselves into Zhang Er's men (Zhang Er had been a disciple of Xin Lingjun) and the two regarded each other as confidants, and when the State of Wei was destroyed by Qin and Zhang Er was wanted, Liu Bang had to return to his hometown.
Later, by chance, Liu Bang became the chief of the Pavilion of Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County (in charge of a small official within ten miles), and after a long time, Liu Bang became famous in the local area. Once, when Qin Shi Huang went on a tour, the majesty was magnificent, who knew that Liu Bang saw this and blurted out that "the big husband should be like this" means that the big husband should be like this. Familiar, a word into chen.
After a little fame, I always had to find a wife, and it just so happened that someone sent me to the door. Lü Wen came to Pei County because he had formed a relationship with someone else in the countryside, and Lü Wen was friends with Napei County Ling. As soon as the locals heard about the relationship between the two, they came to set up a close and close relationship. This Lu Wen has always liked to look at people's faces. When Liu Bang heard of this arrival, he also went to join in the fun, but at that time, someone asked people to bring gift money and stipulated that less than a thousand yuan could not go to the church to sit down. We said earlier that Liu Bang was a jerk in the eyes of the townspeople, and Liu Bang told the bookkeeper that "I will pay ten thousand dollars". When Lu Wen saw Liu Bang's face, he liked it very much. Immediately invited to the hall to sit down, and personally mated his daughter Lü Yanxu to Liu Bang after the meeting, Lü Wen's wife knew and blamed Lü Wen for not giving her daughter to a noble person (a person with status, prestige, and money), Lü Wen just said that this is not something you can understand. In this way, Liu Bang made a scene and married a wife, which was also known as Lü Hou later.
Liu Bang, as the head of the Surabaya Pavilion in the local area, naturally obeyed the instructions of the above. Therefore, when escorting those soldiers to Lishan, many people escaped halfway. After a drink, according to Liu Bang's personality, he simply let everyone go in the night, and Liu Bang himself had to run away to escape, but several people wanted to follow Liu Bang. After drinking, Liu Bang wanted to cut a path to escape, so he asked a person to go to the front to explore the way. This person saw that there was a big snake in front of him blocking the way, so he told Liu Bang, but Liu Bang was not sober, and directly went over to cut off the big snake and walked over. When the people behind them went forward, they saw a woman crying on the side of the road, "The son of the White Emperor was cut off by the son of the current Red Emperor", and the people behind them were even more afraid of Liu Bang after hearing this, and also told Liu Bang after he woke up drunk. This is also the reason why Liu Bang later set up the Red Banner and called himself the son of the Red Emperor during the uprising in Pei County.
After a long time, there was the Dazexiang Uprising, and Liu Bang also joined the wave of rebels in Pei County, setting up the Red Banner and claiming to be the son of the Red Emperor. After that, Liu Bang also led several battles, and the peasant army around Surabaya also joined the large army led by Liu Bang, and then with the development of the anti-Qin wave, Zhang Liang and other good talents also joined Liu Bang's troops. When Xiang Liang and others supported the King of Chuyi, Liu Bang chose to merge with Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu and others. When Xiang Liang was killed in battle, Xiang Yu took Over Xiang Liang's position and assassinated the King of Chu Yi, Yu Julu defeated the Qin army, and after establishing himself as the King of Western Chu, there were roughly only two Liu Xiang and two forces left. Then there was the showdown between Han and Chu, and then there was the Hongmen Feast and other things. However, Xiang Yu was too arrogant and arrogant, and could not make good use of talents, did not listen to the advice of his subordinates, and finally led to Liu Bang's victory, the complete destruction of the Chu state, the establishment of a new empire, the Han Dynasty, and ushered in the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.
I have to say that although Liu Bang is a small, compared with Xiang Yu, Liu Bang can employ people, dare to use people, and can also humbly listen to the suggestions of his subordinates. Moreover, this person can also be tolerated, before Liu Bang was "greedy for goods, good beauty", but when Liu Bang first entered the Guannei, he "had nothing to take, and women had no luck (the meaning of favor)". From this, it can be seen that Xiang Yu said before his death, "Heaven will kill me, and the crime of not using soldiers is also absurd"?!
