The most powerful emperor Liu Bang

Chapter 11 Beginning to be called Peigong
Liu Bang's words boosted everyone's ambition.The people came down to the mountain and told the story that Liu Bang was the son of the Red Emperor vividly and vividly, and affirmed that the future emperor was Liu Bang, and the common people were skeptical.

Some young and middle-aged men were about to go out for a stroll, and when they heard that Liu Bang was recruiting soldiers and had food to eat, Yongyue followed them up the mountain.

At that time, the common people had been plundered by the government until they had eaten all their grains of rice, and they really had nothing to eat to help the rebels.There was no way, Liu Bang and the others learned from the government’s method of raising food and withdrawing money, and borrowed it from some big households. They said it was a loan, but in fact they forcibly picked it up, and there was never a time to pay it back.Taking root in Mount Mangdang in this way, and coming out at night, in less than ten days, three to four hundred people were gathered, and the food raised was enough to last for ten days and a half months.

Seeing that a team was pulled up in a blink of an eye, Liu Bang was secretly happy.He thought, so the uprising is like this, as long as you look for the right opportunity, dare to think and do anything, anything is possible.A few days ago, I was worried that my future would be bleak. Once I gritted my teeth and took a step forward, it will be a different world.Strange, if we follow this path from now on, no one can say for sure how much we can do.

Seeing that the team had almost rested on Mangdang Mountain, Liu Bang divided everyone into three groups, asked Shi Jin, Xu Heng, and Hao Song to lead each group, and left dozens of people around him to be dispatched at any time.When he was full and had nothing to do, he asked someone who knew some martial arts to teach others how to practice martial arts.If there is no weapon, let everyone chop some sticks instead. When it comes to putting an iron head under the mountain, it is a spear.Along the way, Liu Bang's troops have always been good at spears.

Liu Bang had never led a soldier before, so he thought it was a great thing to have such an army in his hands.In addition, he is very eager to make contributions, and he can't help but go down the mountain from time to time.Those soldiers were full for a few days and had nothing to do, and they were in a panic all over, eager to find a place to try their skills.As soon as the two factors collided, like two women meeting, they hit it off and sparked quickly.

There is a city called Yongcheng at the foot of Mount Mangdang. The city is very strong and there are many soldiers guarding it.Liu Bang and his gang were not afraid of tigers when they were born, and the first goal of the uprising was to attack Yongcheng.

The news that they gathered on the mountain these days also reached the ears of Wen Zhen, the prefect of Yongcheng.Prefect Wen said: "I'm sorry that his gang of thieves can't make a big deal. When I free up my hands, I will send a few officers and soldiers to disperse them in one fell swoop."

Before the officers and soldiers could spare their hands, Liu Bang and the others came uninvited.Mount Mangdang was to the east of Yongcheng, and they chose to attack the city from the west gate.Due to lack of any precautions, while the gate of the city was still closed at night, the small squad first took care of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and then the large troops swarmed in.Before, they had a clear understanding of the situation in Yongcheng City. Three squads captured the government office, one occupied the city gate, and the other attacked the guard camp.At that time, the government of Yongcheng was so corrupt that it could not be easily attacked. Liu Bang's team broke into the city with lightning speed.The officers and soldiers were caught off guard, and before they had time to fuck the guy, they were shot and killed by the rebels.The whole battle was straightforward, Liu Bang counted the rebels, and there were only a few casualties.

The rebel army occupied Yongcheng, but the court didn't know it for a while, and even if it knew, it didn't care about this place.Liu Bang Shouyi felt very smooth and happy when he achieved a great victory. He let the rebel army have a good time in Yongcheng, replenish supplies, equip weapons, expand the team, and prepare for greater things in the future.Liu Bang also drank and had a good time.A large family gave Liu Bang a peerless beauty, and he accepted it according to the order, and stayed in the army as a geisha.

Yongcheng is the place where Liu Bang made his fortune. In his subsequent campaigns, although he won less and lost more, he often mentioned "I used a three-foot sword to kill snakes and revolted, and he attacked Yongcheng for the first time" to motivate the soldiers.Until today, 2000 years later, he still lingers in Yongcheng.It is said that in recent years, Yongcheng people have newly erected a "Snake Slaying Monument". At this place, when the lights are illuminated at night, one can clearly see the figure of an ancient hero holding a sword.This situation has baffled some experts.This is a later story.

Liu Bang is a very intelligent person.After a while, he realized that no matter how good Yongcheng is, it is not a place to stay for a long time.It is impossible to accomplish great things with our own personnel.He handed over Yongcheng to Shi Jin to garrison, and led his team to march northward, deciding to take refuge in Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who were attacking Xianyang.

With the experience of attacking Yongcheng, Liu Bang believed that as long as there is no place to garrison troops, the city is easy to attack.His team quickly grew to more than 1000 people. When passing through Cao County, Shandong, another surprise attack came here.Unexpectedly, Cao County has already strengthened its defenses because of the frequent haunts of the rebels.After they entered, the city gate was quickly closed.The several troops that marched separately were met with fierce counterattacks.The rebels could not occupy the government, nor could they control the city gates. The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and finally came to the main street in the middle of the city.Seeing the large number of officers and troops, Liu Bang ordered the troops to retreat from the south gate.As soon as the team heard that they were about to retreat, they no longer had the will to fight, so they flocked to the south gate.Fortunately, the heavy soldiers guarding the gate were all concentrated in the city just now, and the city gate is relatively empty.Several warriors in Liu Bang's team went up and beheaded the city gate officer, broke the iron lock and let the team out.The officers and soldiers chased for a while, fearing that there would be an ambush outside the city, so they quickly withdrew.Liu Bang counted the number of people, and lost more than half, and the team leader Hao Song disappeared.

Liu Bang regretted going to Cao County without knowing the situation.He originally wanted to take down a few cities, strengthen his team, and then join Zhang Chu Wang Chen Sheng, but now that he has been beaten to pieces, what qualifications does he have to join others?For a while they became rogues, moving aimlessly during the day and earning food by robbing houses at night.Some people didn't have much idea, and proposed to go home, but Liu Bang didn't force them to stay.

There is a large population in the Central Plains. Although Liu Bang and the others ran around everywhere, they did not forget to persuade the common people to "join the army with honor", so that many people knew about them and knew about killing snakes.Liu Bang believed in the power of public opinion more and more. He told Lu Gong about the strange things that happened when he was born, and said that he was a noble man, and deliberately spread it through the people around him. fuck him.The morale of the team gradually rose again.

At this moment, Fan Kuai from Pei County suddenly appeared in front of Liu Bang, and shouted at first sight: "Oh, I found you!"

"How did you find us?" Liu Bang asked in surprise.

Fan Kuai said: "The story of you has been spread everywhere, and the story is miraculous. The elders in Pei County are looking forward to your return, so they sent me to find you."

"Is there such a thing? How do you expect us to go back?" Liu Bang asked puzzled.

They are now in a threshing floor, Fan Kuai said: "Go to the house and pour me a bowl of water to drink, and then I will tell you."

Liu Bang, Xu Heng and others let Fan Kui into the house, and Fan Kui lowered his loud voice and said: "The magistrate of Peixian County wants to hand over our place to other rebels. Xiao He, Cao Can, Zhou Bo and others discuss it. You hang around outside There is a lot of movement, so instead of handing it over to others, it is better to hand it over to you and let you take charge of the government, so that the people of Pei County can also have hope."

"I also want to go back, but how can Cao De tolerate me?" Liu Bang said.

"You have a team in your hands now, so you're afraid of him. If you want to go back to govern, all the fathers and folks in Pei County will turn to you." Fan Kui analyzed.

"Okay, we will go back with you in a few days." Liu Bang replied straightforwardly.As soon as he thought of going back, Lu Zhi's figure immediately appeared in front of him, wishing he could leave now.

After getting drunk that night, Liu Bang mentioned Fan Kuai's dog meat reminiscently, and said, "I haven't eaten your dog meat for more than half a year. I'm so hungry, I wish I could see a live dog bite it."

"You are so delicious, it's hard for you not to eat dog meat for half a year. When I go back, I will cook a pot for you so that you can eat enough at one time." Fan Kui said with a hahaha smile.

"I won't go back if I don't look at your dog's face." Liu Bang said with a chopstick.

"Come on, you, that little bitch of yours is no better than my dog ​​meat, and I miss her even more." Fan Kuai sneered.

"That's true. After serving in the army for three years, I saw sows with double eyelids. This man really can't live without women." Liu Bang said with emotion.

Several people talked in the middle of the night before falling asleep.

The next day, Liu Bang told everyone that he was going back to Pei County, and the children of Pei County who came out with him cheered in unison.Not the children of Peixian County, but I was very happy when I heard that I could stop traveling when I arrived in Peixian County, so I set off smoothly.

The Qin Dynasty was about to fall, and Cao De, the county magistrate of Pei County, wanted to find a backer as soon as possible.The chief officials Xiao He, Cao Can and others thought, if the rebel army they invite is a gang of robbers, what kind of harm will it do to the people of Pei County.So he said to Cao De: "You are an official ordered by the imperial court. If you take the lead in betraying the imperial court and taking refuge with others, what will the people think of you? How will you mess around in the officialdom in the future? I heard that Liu Bang has pulled up a team outside. Why don't you invite him back and put him under your command?" , to prevent other rebels from invading."

As soon as Cao De heard that it was reasonable, he immediately said: "Okay, you can do it."

Cao County is not too far from Pei County, knowing that this is returning home, Liu Bang's team traveled day and night, and drove to Pei County in two days.

When Cao De saw that Liu Bang brought so many people back, he immediately realized that he had made a huge mistake and led the wolf into the house, so he instructed the city gate officials to close the city gate firmly.No matter how much Liu Bang shouted, he just didn't open it, so he shot a book with an arrow and asked the people inside to help him enter the city.

After all, the people of Pei County were on the side of Liu Bang, and it was unknown whether it was Xiao He's secret operation or the people's voluntary actions. At night, a large group of soldiers surrounded the soldiers guarding the city gate, opened the city gate, and let Liu Bang's team in.

When Liu Bang entered the city gate, he was so angry that he didn't have time to greet his elders, so he led the team straight to the county government gate, found the backyard where Cao De lived, and killed his whole family.Those who resisted among the officers and soldiers were all killed by the rebels.Liu Bang avenged the county magistrate for harming him, and felt relieved for a while.

Kill the county magistrate, and Pei County has no owner for a while.Xiao He, Cao Can and others who used to serve in the county government were unwilling to take charge due to their own strength.Some prestige elders in the folk have the heart of serving their elders, but in troubled times, no one dares to stand out blindly.Everyone pushed back and forth, but no one came out to take the lead.Liu Bang's mind is outside, and he has little interest in serving in his hometown.But Xiao He, Cao Can, Guan Ying, Fan Kui, Zhou Bo and others repeatedly persuaded him, and the rebels he brought supported him together, saying: "If you don't become the county magistrate, we will break up." Liu Bang reluctantly agreed.

Xiao He and a group of scribes said: "County magistrate is the title of an official sent by the imperial court. You are the head of a county elected by the elders of Pei County, so you should be called 'Pei Gong'."

Liu Bang said: "This title is good, yes."
