Liu Bang must be very familiar to everyone, he was a small official at the beginning, and then experienced decades of vicissitudes of life, bloody battles, and then after four years of Chu and Han hegemony eliminated the invincible Xiang Yu, and finally established the Han Dynasty on the ruins of the Great Qin Empire.
Xiang Yu: I said before, interested friends can turn forward
In 247 BC, Liu Bang was born in Pei County (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). Interestingly, it was the first year of Qin Shi Huang's reign, and he was actually getting closer and closer to Qin's death.

Liu Bang's face is high and the bridge of the nose is high, and the eyebrow bones are prominent, and he knows that he is the appearance of an emperor at a glance. In addition, Liu Bang's legs are not amazing, there are only seventy-two black moles on his left leg, which is the number of earth evils, and if there are thirty-six on his right leg, he should be the number of Tiangang, it can really be said that heaven and earth are one person, and he is really well-deserved to be an emperor.
Therefore, I would like to remind you that if you want to be an emperor, you will wait for seventy-two moles to grow on your thighs.
Liu Bang's father is a farmer, so of course Liu Bang is a son inheriting his father's business, and there will be a farmer named Liu Bang in the future, but it is only because Liu Bang is idle and does not do his job properly, which changes his life.
When Liu Bang was in his thirties, Liu Bang became the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion, which is equivalent to the director of the police station and the administrator of the post station. When the Surabaya Pavilion Chief was literate, and he had to take exams, Liu Bang was originally an unemployed vagrant, only because he was literate, and most ordinary people in the Qin Dynasty were illiterate, so he became the Pavilion Chief.
The pavilion chief is a grassroots official, and his annual income is only 1,000 yuan, but Liu Bang dares to "raise his salary".
Let's just say that there was a rich man named Lu Gong at that time, because Lu Gong offended the officials, he wanted the cat to avoid the limelight somewhere, and he had a good relationship with the county magistrate of Pei County, so he moved to Pei County.
This Lu Gong was not a big name or a small V in that piece of land at that time, and the local people naturally had to welcome and warmly welcome it.
Although Liu Bang is a small pavilion chief, he is still willing to join in the fun, and he doesn't consider his lack of money at all.
"Liu Bang, the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, congratulated 10,000 yuan. At Duke Lu's housewarming banquet, Liu Bang shouted when he entered the door.
At this time, the audience was stunned, because at that time, a county's annual salary was only 1,000 yuan, and Liu Bang, as a small pavilion chief, actually took out 10,000 yuan as a meeting gift, you must know that the 10,000 yuan of the Qin Dynasty is almost equivalent to 100,000 yuan now.

Lu Gong was also shocked when he heard this, but he knew that this was impossible: the income of a pavilion chief was actually higher than that of the county order!? But he was shocked by Liu Bang's courage to dare to lie blatantly, so he invited him to take a seat and gave Liu Bang the steps to go up.
The banquet was dispersed, and Lu Gong asked Liu Bang not to leave, and Liu Bang also understood that Lu Gong was willing to marry his daughter to Liu Bang, although later people said that Lu Gong was not old and confused? But it turned out that Lu Gong had made a good move, because if he married that county commander, the ending of his daughter Lu Pheasant would be very different.
Lv Pheasant
Later, Liu Bang worked hard all the way, and finally sat on the throne of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and reached the peak of his life.
Without Liu Bang, there would be no idiom of "people take food as the sky".
After Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought in Pengcheng that year, Liu Bang suffered heavy losses. Retreat to Xingyang, Chenggao, but the Han army's military food is not enough, at that time there was an Ao warehouse in Xingyang's Ao Mountain, which was an important granary in the Qin period. Liu Bang saw that he couldn't hold on to Xiang Yu, and planned to cut the land and sue for peace.
At this time, Liu Bang's adviser Li Shiqi objected, saying: "O king, if you do this, we will be wiped out by Xiang Yu sooner or later, the people take food as the sky, and if we cede Aocang, we will lose the most important grain base, and there is no military rations, what will our soldiers do to fight with Xiang Yu's army?"
Liu Bang suddenly realized, so he defended the city and finally won the victory.
Xingyang City
Speculating about Liu Bang's life, it seems that everything he has gained is due to accident: he became the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion because he was literate, and he married his wife because he lied, and later forced Xiang Yu to a dead end, forced to commit suicide, and became the emperor.
To say that the biggest difficulty encountered by Liu Bang was the battle of Pengcheng.
Liu Bang quickly occupied Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, under the persuasion of his strategist Zhang Liang, and Xiang Yu immediately led 30,000 elite soldiers to fight a decisive battle with Liu Bang, Liu Bang did not take any defensive measures because he relaxed his vigilance after the war, and lost a total of 300,000 people before and after, and almost all the army was wiped out.
A street gangster with no future, who started from scratch and finally became the overlord of the pattern, did not expect to lose 300,000 troops in one day, and must have collapsed to the extreme. But in the end, the reason why he was able to defeat Xiang Yu was because of Xiang Yu's arrogance, which led to a mistake in judgment.
