The most powerful emperor Liu Bang

Chapter 2 The Mystery of Prosperity and Nurturing
In history, there is a saying that Liu Bang was born rich and nourished, which means that Liu Bang was born in Feng County and grew up in Pei County.

Everyone knows that Liu Bang is a pure peasant boy.At that time, the scope of people's activities was still very small, especially the farmers, who could hardly leave the village for a lifetime. How could he live in Pei County, a hundred miles away, after he was born?
This is related to a catastrophe experienced by Liu Bang's childhood home.

Qin's army couldn't pursue and kill little Liu Bang, so they turned around and rushed to Liu Tian's house.Right from the start, he asked Liu Tian: "Where did your wife go with the baby?"

Liu Tian replied: "I don't know." In fact, he really didn't know, the moment Kong escaped over the wall, he didn't tell Liu Tian where she was going.

The leader shouted: "Search for me again!"

They searched every household in the village again, but they still couldn't find little Liu Bang, so they had to send troops to surround Liu's house and wait for Mrs. Kong to come to the door.

The officers and soldiers waited for several days, but they did not see Mrs. Kong coming back, so they detained Liu Tian in the barracks and asked, "Who are your relatives near your home?"

Liu Tian was afraid that his wife and children would hide in relatives' homes, so he only said that he had no relatives.For this reason, he was severely beaten by the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers approached the head of the village and Liu Tian's neighbors again, and first uttered threatening words.These people were afraid of being implicated, so they quickly told the situation of Liu Tian's family.He also reported some visions when Kong was pregnant with Liu Bang and when Liu Bang was born to the officers and soldiers.Of course, these situations were blown out by Liu Tian and Kong when they were gossiping.

When Guan Jun heard this, he felt that this child was no small matter, and he had to find and kill him.So the head of the village and a few neighbors took the officers and soldiers to search Liu Tian's relatives one by one.

The officers and soldiers have been stationed in Zhongyangli for more than a month, but no results have been found.At this time, another harsh word came from the palace: "The emperor's qi in the southeast has not been eliminated. If you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, you will ask a group of soldiers like you!"

The leader was very anxious, so he came to Li Chang Zhou Zheng to threaten him: "The only kid whose surname is Liu from your village has not been found. This has a lot to do with you. If you don't find it again, I will kill your whole family first."

Zhou Zhengyi was terrified when he heard that. Although he has always been very cooperative, he dared not reason with the officers and soldiers. I was really worried that these gangsters could do anything. In a hurry, he came up with an idea that should not have been made: "The Liu family There are three more children, can they be used as replacements?"

"Damn!" the boss said angrily.Looking back, it might be a good idea.Immediately asked: "What? There are three more children? Quickly catch me, the breakthrough is here, I want to exchange the three big ones for the small one." Then he ordered Zhou Zheng to lead the army to arrest them.

It didn't take long for the general assembly, and the officers and soldiers arrested Liu Tian's three sons, Uncle Liu, Zhong Liu, and Uncle Liu.The leader personally interrogated: "Where did your mother take the younger brother?" He pretended to be gentle.

"I don't know." The three children said together.

"If you don't get beaten, I don't think you will say, quickly bring sticks, and each of you will hit a few sticks first." The leader said honestly.

Hearing that he was going to be beaten, the youngest Uncle Liu cried in fright, and the eldest and second child also looked at each other, but they still said, "We don't know where my mother is."

"If you can't tell where your mother is, I won't call you home, and I won't give you food." The officer continued to threaten.

"If you don't know, you just don't know. Why are you being so unreasonable?" Uncle Liu replied anxiously.

"You're still stubborn." The leader said to his subordinates, "Hit me!"

One soldier hit the boss twice on the head, and shouted: "Say it quickly, if you don't talk, you will still beat him."

The three children cried together.

Liu Tian just went to work in the fields.When I came back and heard that Zhou Zheng led the officers and soldiers to arrest the three children, I immediately ran to the barracks to ask for them.

The barracks of the officers and soldiers is not a place for the common people to reason.As soon as Liu Tian arrived, he was arrested by soldiers.The leader yelled and cursed: "You stupid bastard, if you don't hand over your little bastard, you will kill all three of you bastards. Get out and find someone for me!" Tian blasted out.

At this time, Liu Tian had heard from a fishmonger in his village that he saw a man who looked like Kong when he came back from Weishan Lake and passed through Pei County, but he was not sure.Several newborn boys had been killed in the whole village, and he thought that no matter what, he could not tell the officers and soldiers the news.Now the officers and soldiers have arrested his three older children, and they want to exchange the older ones for the younger ones.When he came out of the barracks, he went to find Mr. Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng didn't see him first, and Liu Tian kept cursing at his door, and then he had to come out to meet Liu Tian.When Liu Tian saw it, he was like a mad lion, went up and grabbed his clothes, and cursed: "You bad bastard, you brought someone to arrest my son, and you bring him back to me, or I will go with you!" You're not done!"

Zhou Zhengzhi murmured, "Who are you scolding? The officers and soldiers arrested them. Why bother me?"

"The officers and soldiers arrested you. If you don't tell the officers and soldiers, how would they know? What are you going to do when the officers and soldiers arrest you?" Liu Tian asked a series of rhetorical questions.

The two wrestled together, and neighbors rushed to pull them apart.But Liu Tian turned around and said, "The surname Zhou, I can't finish it for you, just wait!"

For more than ten days in a row, Liu Tian went to the barracks to ask for someone every day. The officers and soldiers either drove him away with sticks, or asked him to hand over his wife and youngest child.

The three children were locked in a room in the barracks and were not given food or water. They yelled at first, but then they became silent.One day, Liu Tian happened to be there again, and several soldiers carried three children out of the barracks and threw them to the ground, saying, "Here are your children, take them back."

Liu Tian was dumbfounded when he saw that the three children seemed to be dead. He immediately cried, "You killed my child, you inhuman things." He called on the neighbors to take the children home.

The neighbors helped to quickly feed the children water, and found that Uncle Liu was dead, and the other two children slowly recovered after drinking some water.

Liu Tian was in so much pain that he cried and scolded, scolding the officers and soldiers for a while, scolding Zhou Zheng for a while, until his voice became hoarse and his eyes stared straight.

After Kong's mother and son fled to Peixian County, they were first taken in by a kind woman, and then they lived by washing and cooking for others.She has been away for a few months and misses the children at home very much.But the wind in Fengyi has been very tight, and she dare not go back.

The officers and soldiers couldn't catch Liu Bang's mother and child, and the temper of the emperor in the southeast became more and more prosperous. From time to time, the king of Qin sent orders, urging them to step up their search, and found that the newborn babies were shot and killed.

After Uncle Liu died, Liu Tian fell seriously ill.The daughter-in-law ran away with the child, and her survival is unknown. Now another child has died. Isn't this the family ruined?He thought about what to do with his life, he must avenge his child.

In the winter of this year, he first sent the two children to a relative's house in another village. One night, when the north wind was blowing and the dripping water turned into ice, he locked the door of Zhou Zheng's house from the outside, and piled a pile of firewood behind the house. , and then lit the fire.The wind boosted the power of the fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind to quickly illuminate half of the sky red. .
After leaving Zhou Zheng's house, Liu Tian went to the officer's barracks and set fire to it.The sound of someone shouting was heard in the distance.

After that, Liu Tian took his two children to Pei County, and found his wife Kong after a few months.From then on, they settled down in Pei County, opened up wasteland and cultivated land by the Weishan Lake in the east of the county, and managed their family and business.

Many years later, Liu Tian heard that a fire broke out in Zhongyangli in his hometown, burning the whole family of the head of the village to death, and also burning away the officers and soldiers who slaughtered the babies. The people said it was God's will.

Liu Bang originally ranked fourth among his brothers. Because one of his elder brothers was killed by the army when he was very young, many people didn't know it and thought he was the third. This is why Liu Bang was also called Liu San.
