Why did Liu Bang's wine and meat brothers quickly become military geniuses who commanded a thousand armies after they started an army? The success of the ancient Liu family seems to be quite inspiring, when the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was young, the identity of the Han dynasty did not bring him any status, the position of the emperor was played out step by step by himself, Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms period, in his 30s, was still selling straw shoes, and Liu Yu, the founding monarch of the Liu Song Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, when he was a child, the poor family could not open the pot, and his father once wanted to abandon him. Liu Bang, the founder of the old Liu family, was originally just a bastard in the family of a rich man, and he was 37 years old when he brought a group of his wine and meat friends to raise an army against Qin.
However, the establishment of a powerful force is inseparable from the storage and convocation of talents, and the people under Liu Bang's hands, most of whom are disciples of the city and friends of wine and meat, can quickly become military geniuses who govern the country and command thousands of troops after Liu Bang's uprising? In fact, the reason is also very realistic. First of all, the first point is that Liu Bang's friends are not ordinary people. The Book of Han records that Liu Bang's ancestors came from the State of Wei and were descendants of the Great Master of the Jin Dynasty, although Liu Bang's generation was a commoner, but he was open-minded and generous from a peasant family, serving as the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County, and still made many good brothers.
Among them, Xiao He, who loyally followed Liu Bang here, was the chief official of Pei County, to put it bluntly, he was the chief of the personnel department of the Pei County government agency, liu Bang was good friends with him, which was mixed with a position as the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, and Liu Bang's other good friend Cao Shan was the prison guard of Pei County, that is, the warden, who was actually the superior of Liu Bang, the pavilion chief responsible for escorting prisoners, and Xiahou Bao, who later saved Liu Bang's sons and daughters at the risk of his life, and was in charge of raising horses and driving in Pei County, and later became a county official The relationship with Liu Bang is not shallow.
The above few people are actually people with talent and management experience, not ordinary ordinary people, so they can stand out in the later military uprising, proving that Liu Bang's vision is not wrong. The second point is that Liu Bang knew that people were good at use, and when he was young, he greatly admired Wei Guoxin Lingjun, one of the four princes of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, and once wanted to defect to him, but gave up because of the death of Xin Lingjun. Xin Lingjun had many idle disciples under his hands, including Zhu Hai, the Hercules, and even a doorman who learned to call chickens.
Perhaps it was under the influence of Prince Wei that Liu Bang recruited sages and appointed them at will, and did not value his honorable status. When he was young, Han Xin was poor and could only rely on others to survive, and he was also humiliated by his crotch, and when he arrived at Xiang Yu, the people did not pay attention to him, and Han Xin turned to Liu Bang, and as a result, Liu Bang immediately made Han Xin, who had never brought soldiers, into a general.
The third point is that the talents appointed by Liu Bang, including Han Xin, who later rebelled, were actually loyal, which was in stark contrast to the capricious princes under Xiang Yu's hands. In the second year of han, Liu Bang was defeated at Pengcheng, hundreds of thousands of troops only had dozens of cavalry left to flee back, Xiao He zhen defended Xianyang, in fact, there was a chance to defect to the extreme poverty of Liu Bang, but he did not do so.
After Han Xin conquered the State of Qi, Xiang Yu had sent Wu Shi to lobby Han Xin to oppose Han Xin and Join Chu, but he was unsuccessful. Another loyal subordinate of Liu Bang, Fan Duo, began to follow Liu Bang from the moment he fled to Mount Mangzhong, becoming the most trustworthy helper around him. Just as the so-called "fighting righteousness and slaughtering more dogs", Liu Bang's success is inseparable from these talented and loyal subordinates.
