In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang destroyed the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi, completed the great cause of unifying the world, laid the political system pattern of China for more than 2,000 years, and was praised by the Ming Dynasty thinker Li Zhen as "an emperor in ancient times". However, in the end, the Qin Dynasty regime was overthrown without the second generation, and after the Chu-Han war, the world eventually fell into the hands of Liu Bang, who was of extremely ordinary origin.
Liu Bang was born in 256 BC, and at first he was just a pavilion chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County, Qin Dynasty. The family was also not prominent, and not even the names of their parents were left. Later, when Sima Qian wrote the Records of History, he called Liu Bang's father Liu Taigong.
Moreover, Liu Bang was particularly lazy when he was young, and he was not even willing to do farm work, so he was often reprimanded by his father Liu Taigong. Later, after unifying the world, Liu Bang also joked with Liu Taigong about this matter: "Do you see me and Liu Zhong's second brother who runs the foundation?"
From this point of view, even his father, Liu Taigong, did not expect that Liu Bang would finally be able to create such a big foundation. If Liu Bang is an example, after all, history has never lacked the existence of genius. If Liu Bang is a genius, it is still reasonable. However, not only Liu Bang, but also the people who followed Liu Bang to fight the world seemed to be like this.
For example, Fan Duo, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Bao, Cao Shan, and others. Don't look at these people are all well-known founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty, in fact, they are all inconspicuous little people at the beginning. For example, Fan Duo is a butcher who kills dogs, Zhou Bo is a trumpeter at funerals, Xiahou Bao is a coachman, and Cao Gan is a petty official who manages the prison. In short, they are ordinary people.
But then what happened to them? First of all, let's look at Fan Duo, who used to slaughter dogs in his early years, but had a close relationship with Liu Bang, who made Fan Duo his retinue aide-de-camp when he was the Duke of Pei. Later, Liu Bang's power grew stronger and larger, and Fan Duo did not even fall. ，
Fan Huo fought bravely and unusually, often taking the lead in entering the city and trapping the enemy army, killing and capturing the enemy army, and was promoted to langzhong cavalry general for his merits. After Xiang Yu defeated the Han king Yu Pengcheng, Fan Huantun defended Guangwu in Xingyang, and then pursued Xiang Yu with Gaozu, took Yang Xia, captured 4,000 soldiers of the Chu general Zhou, and surrounded Xiang Yu in Chen County, and finally returned with a great victory. After Liu Bang ascended the throne, he was given the title of Zuo Cheng Xiang .e.
Zhou Bo was a native of Feng County, Pei County, and a fellow villager of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, who made a living weaving silkworm utensils in his early years and often served as a drummer for the families of people with funerals. In the first year of Qin II (209 BC), Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, rebelled against Qin. He successively served as the Fifth Doctor, the Tiger Commander, and the General. Repeated achievements. After Liu Bang ascended the throne, he was even given the title of Chancellor. He is also the father of the famous general Zhou Yafu.
Xiahou Infant began to take charge of raising horses and driving in the stables of Pei Province. Whenever he drove the emissary or guest back, passing through the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County, he had to talk to Liu Bang, and the relationship between the two could be said to be extremely good. Later, he followed Liu Bang's uprising, made military achievements, and was given the title of Marquis of Ruyin, who was also a famous founding general of the Han Dynasty.
As for why these "fox friends" of Liu Bang were able to make such meritorious achievements, perhaps they only lived to the day of victory, did not live to the day of victory, even if they were far more talented than them, they could not become military talents or governing talents. And people are constantly improving. They are undoubtedly lucky, but they must also be the ones who have come to the end through their own efforts.
