In the rule of our country's feudal dynasties, especially in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period when all heroes came together, there were many grassroots people who ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors; it is not surprising that grassroots counterattacks are also common. However, these things can be Perhaps the only person who has achieved a lasting reputation and is often used to talk about it by future generations is today's protagonist - Han Gaozu Liu Bang.

To talk about the main achievements of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, he can sum it up in eight words: "Destroy Qin, destroy Chu, and establish the Han Dynasty." As for the various conquests in the south and the north, they are basically what must be done to establish a new dynasty. However, what is more worthy of people's admiration for Liu Bang is his skill in recognizing and employing people. This is the fundamental reason why many history buffs later praised him.

So Liu Bang is so good at recognizing and employing people, is it innate? Today we will discuss this matter.

According to the records in "Hanshu", Liu Bang's ancestors are also a branch of the royal family, and are the descendants of the Jin Kingdom Dafu Shihui. However, after several generations of reproduction, this "descendant of the Shihui " It has also become a branch within a branch. According to this record, it basically has nothing to do with the royal family.

And Liu Bang's family was just an ordinary farmer's family. Since he was a child, Liu Bang has been somewhat neglectful of business and production. I act like a street gangster all day long. However, he is open-minded and generous, likes to give things to others, has a free and informal personality, and has made many friends in the world.

In the twenty-fourth year of the First Emperor of Qin (223 AD), the state of Qin destroyed Chu. Later, Surabaya County was established due to administrative divisions. At this time, Liu Bang, who was already in his prime, became a minor official of the Qin State after passing a series of examinations and took the position of the Pavilion Chief of Surabaya.

Although the position of the Pavilion Chief of Surabaya is not a big one, it was the beginning of Liu Bang's official career and the foundation for his later uprising and his victory over the world. As for this period of time. Some records in history say that after Liu Bang saw the scene of Qin Shihuang's troops traveling, he said, "Oh, a real man should be like this!" "". Let’s not talk about whether someone will record his every word and deed as a small Sishui pavilion director; even if it is true, it is human nature. After all, whoever sees something better than what he has in hand will not feel admiration or even covet him. Where is the heart.

There is an old saying that goes, "If you are born like an ant, you must have the ambition to become a swan." You must have ambitions. Whether it can be realized later is another story.

The wisdom of the market got his first wife

At that time, there was a man named Lu Gong. Because he had enmity with the people in his hometown, he fled his hometown and settled in Peixian County. Because the magistrate of Peixian County and Mr. Lu were good friends at that time, and for this reason, many local people took advantage of the occasion of moving to visit him, hoping to build relationships. Liu Bang, as the pavilion chief, was no exception.

On that day, Xiao He, as an official of the county magistrate, was responsible for collecting and recording the gifts. And out of consideration for the large number of guests, a rule was set: "Those whose gifts exceed one thousand should be seated in the sword hall, and those whose gifts are less than one thousand should sit down." Although Liu Bang was the head of the Sishui Pavilion at this time and was considered a national civil servant, his monthly salary was only a few dollars. How could he be willing to spend so much money for a meal. However, he confidently shouted "Congratulations on 10,000 yuan" in front of everyone.

Hearing such a wealthy visitor, Lu Gong naturally stepped forward to greet him personally. However, when he saw Liu Bang for the first time, he was particularly interested in his appearance, and the so-called congratulatory money had long been forgotten.

In fact, according to historical records, Liu Bang " had a straight nose, a high forehead, and somewhat sassy sideburns and beard. ". According to this statement, it is basically related to good looks, but Lu Gongyan However, Liu Bang felt that "'s majestic talent will definitely have a bright future". Later results can indeed prove that Lu Gong has a unique vision and is a rare physiognomist master.

It was because Liu Bang was a talented person that Lu Gong later even betrothed his daughter to Liu Bang. This woman was Lu Pheasant who was later called "the first person to wield power in the harem".

The Snake Rebellion can only be said to be courageous at best.

As the director of the Surabaya Pavilion, Liu Bang had the obligation to follow the imperial court's orders and escort the disciples to Lishan on schedule. That is to say, a group of laborers are regularly escorted to work in Lishan Mountain. However, during an escort, many laborers chose to risk their lives and escape because they were well aware of the ups and downs of their fate in the later period. Liu Bang thought to himself that if he ran away all the way, all the people might escape before reaching Lishan.

According to the laws at the time, he was unpardonable, so he simply let him go as a favor. So I decided to stop for a drink and have fun, release all the slaves at night, and prepare to live a life of running around. However, among the remaining people, more than a dozen disciples believed that Liu Bang was a loyal man and decided to follow Liu Bang. However, in the current situation, they would definitely not be able to go back if they wanted to. Finally, after research, we came to the conclusion that rebellion is the only way to go back. The only way out.

did what he said, dividing the people into two groups, one group in front to explore the way, and one group in the back to defend. After a while, the defender in front came back and reported that there was a big snake in front of him. At this time, Liu Bang had just finished drinking. As the saying goes, "wine makes you brave", Liu Bang went up with his sword and chopped down the big snake blocking the road ahead. This is what happened later. Said " kills the snake and revolts ". Just imagine, what does this have to do with the legend that the emperor's spirit should conquer the world?

However, it becomes interesting among the stories fabricated by later generations. There is a legend in related unofficial history that after Liu Bang killed the snake. An old man was sitting on the roadside crying. Liu Bang came up and asked her why. The reason told by the old woman adds a mysterious color to this historical story. The old woman said that the snake was transformed by her son. His son was originally the son of Baidi , and the only person who could kill her son was the "Red Emperor". In this way, this story indicates that Liu Bang will definitely be an emperor in the future.

Looking at the path we mentioned above about Liu Bang's path when he was young, whether it was a clever trick or destiny, in short, many of them were forced to go to hell.

However, Liu Bang was completely different after the uprising. He conquered cities and territories along the way and recruited a group of his younger brothers. And he is good at employing people. If he is lacking, there will definitely be someone who can help him. This is true for Xiao He, Han Xin , Fan Kuai .

A husband is strategizing in the tent, and the victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as my wife. I am not as good as Xiao He in controlling the country, pacifying the people, providing wages, and constantly supplying food. With an army of millions, we will definitely win in battle and capture when we attack. I am not as good as Han Xin. These three are all outstanding people, and I can use them. This is why I conquer the world. Xiang Yu has a fan that has increased but cannot be used. This is why he was captured by me. "
