3. Liu Bang
The founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. The character Ji. He was a native of Pei County, Sishui County (present-day Pei County, Jiangsu Province) in the Qin Dynasty. His posthumous name is Emperor Gao. Liu Bang was born in a farming family and worked as a pavilion chief in his early years. He was open-minded and generous and did not engage in production. During the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang was released from prison, and died in the mountains of Mangdang and Dangdang. In September of the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty (209 BC), Liu Bang gathered people in Pei County to respond to Chen Sheng & Wu Guang's uprising and called himself the Duke of Pei, and soon defected to Xiang Liang. In October 206 BC, Liu Bang arrived at Bashang. Prince Ying of Qin surrendered and Qin fell. Liu Bang abolished Qin's harsh laws and made a pact with the fathers and mothers in Guanzhong: "Murderers will die, and injuries and thefts will be penalized." Thus he was welcomed by the people. After Xiang Yu defeated the main force of Qin army, he also led his troops to enter Guan.
After the reign of Liu Bang, he took many important measures, such as reducing the rent, tithe one, "rest with the people", where the people are hungry to sell themselves as slaves, are exempted from common people, soldiers demobilized home, exempted from corvée service, etc., to continue to implement the system of granting fields and houses according to the military service of the Qin Dynasty, and to stipulate that merchants are not allowed to ride in cars with clothes and silk and to increase the rent and tax, etc., to restore the dilapidated social economy. He also restored the dilapidated social economy and stabilized the feudal order. He also eliminated the vassal kings with different surnames in order to strengthen the unified centralized state. He believed that the Qin dynasty did not divide the sons and daughters, which led to the isolation and defeat, so he divided the land into nine vassal kings with the same surname. He also accepted Lou Jing's suggestion of strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches, and moved more than 100,000 people from the strong clans of the six states in the east of Guanzhong to settle in Guanzhong.
After the death of Qin, the Xiongnu in the desert took the opportunity to move south and reoccupied Henan Province (the Hetao region of present-day Inner Mongolia). At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu continued to invade Han's border counties, and in the sixth year of Gaozu's reign (201 BC), Han Wangxin surrendered to the Xiongnu. In the following year, Liu Bang personally led an expedition and was besieged by more than 300,000 Xiongnu cavalry for seven days and nights at Baideng (present-day Datong, northeast of Shanxi). Later, Liu Bang used Chen Ping's scheme to bribe the Xiongnu of Boldun to escape from the siege. After that, Liu Bang had to adopt the policy of peace with Xiong Nu and open the customs market between Han and Xiong Nu to ease the relationship between the two sides.
When Liu Bang was young, he was a debauchee and despised Confucians. After he was crowned emperor, he thought he had won the world immediately, and the Poetry and the Book were useless. The first time I saw this was when I was a young man, and I was a young woman, and I was a young woman. Liu Bang then ordered Lu Jia to write a book on the reasons why Qin lost the world for reference. He also ordered Xiao He to rewrite the "Nine Chapters of the Han Laws". In his later years, Liu Bang favored Qi Ji and her son, Zhao Wang Ruyi, and alienated Empress Lu. He tried several times to depose Liu Ying (Emperor Hui), the crown prince born to Empress Lu, in favor of Ruyi. However, due to the opposition of his ministers, he had to give up. In the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu's reign, Liu Bang was shot by a stray bullet while crusading against Ying Bu's rebellion, and later died of a serious illness.
-Zhou Bo (周勃)
A native of Pei County, Jiangsu Province, Zhou Bo was one of the founding marquis of the Western Han Dynasty, and was given the title of Marquis of Jiang by Liu Bang.
-Xiahou Ying
Native of Pei County. He began to be in charge of horse breeding and driving in the stable of the county government of Pei County. Whenever he passed by Sishang Pavilion in Pei County on his way back from delivering emissaries or guests, he would seek out Gaozu for a chat, and the chat would last for most of the day. Later, Xiahou Ying became a probationary county official and became even closer to Gaozu. Once, Gaozu hurt Xiahou Ying by mistake because of a joke, and was reported to the government by others. At that time, Gaozu was the chief of the pavilion, and he had to be severely punished for hurting someone, so Gaozu complained that he had not hurt Xiahouying originally, and Xiahouying also proved that he had not been hurt. The case was later reversed, and Xiahou Ying was imprisoned for more than a year for his involvement in Gaozu's case, and received hundreds of floggings, but in the end, this saved Gaozu's life from being punished.
When Gaozu was preparing to attack Pei County with his disciples, Xiahou Ying liaised with Gaozu as a magistrate. On the very day that Gaozu subdued Pei County, Gaozu installed him as the Duke of Pei, bestowed on Xiahou Ying the title of Seventh Doctor, and appointed him the title of Imperial Servant. While following Gaozu to attack Huling, Xiahou Ying and Xiao He together recruited and surrendered Ping, the county supervisor of Surabaya County, who surrendered Huling, and Gaozu gave Xiahou Ying the title of Fifth Doctor. He followed Gaozu to attack the Qin army to the east of Dang County, attacked Jiyang, took Tubai, and defeated Li Yu's army in the area of Yongqiu. He drove a chariot to attack quickly and bravely during the battle, and Gaozu bestowed on him the title of Deupai. Xiahou Ying also commanded the troops and chariots to follow Gao Zu to attack Zhang Han in the area of Dong'a and Puyang. He drove the troops and chariots to attack quickly and bravely in the battle and defeated the Qin army, and Gao Zu gave him the title of Gui (执珪). He also commanded a troop car and followed Gaozu to attack Zhao Ben's army in Kaifeng and Yang Xiong's army in Quyu. In the battles, Xiahou Ying captured sixty-eight prisoners, surrendered 850 soldiers, and seized a box of golden seals. Then he once commanded a troop car to follow Gaozu to attack the Qin army east of Luoyang. He drove the chariot and fought hard, and Gaozu granted him the title of Duke of Teng. Then he commanded his troop car to follow Gao Zu to attack Nanyang and fought in Lantian and Zhiyang. He drove his troop car and fought bravely until he reached Bashang. After Xiang Yu entered the pass, he destroyed the Qin Dynasty and crowned Pei Gong as the King of Han. The King of Han gave Xiahou Ying the title of Liehou, and his name was Marquis Zhaoping. He also followed the king of Han to march into the Shu and Han regions with the post of Taisu.
Later, when the King of Han returned to pacify San Qin, Xiahou Ying accompanied the King of Han to attack Xiang Yu's army. Advancing to Pengcheng, the Han army was defeated by Xiang Yu. The king of Han fled in a hurry in his carriage and horse due to the unfavorable defeat of his army. Halfway there, Xiahou Ying met Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan, and took them on board. Horses have run very tired, the enemy is close behind, the king of Han is particularly anxious, there are several times to kick the two children off the car, want to throw them away, but every time is Xiahouying get off the car to collect them, and has been carrying them in the car. Xiahou Ying drove the car, first walking slowly, and only after the two frightened children hugged his neck tightly, he drove the car. The king of Han was so angry about this that he tried to kill Xiahou Ying more than ten times, but finally he escaped from danger and sent Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan to Fengyi unharmed.
When the king of Han arrived at Xingyang, he collected the routed army and revitalized its strength, and the king of Han gave the city of Chiyang to Xiahou Ying as a place of food. After this, Xiahou Ying commanded his troops to follow the king of Han to attack Xiang Yu, and pursued him all the way to Chen County, where he finally pacified the land of Chu. When he traveled to the land of Lu, the king of Han gave him an additional county of Zi as a cognac.
In the fall of the year when the king of Han became emperor, Zangtan, king of Yan, rebelled against the emperor, and Xiahouying, as a minister, followed Gao Di to attack Zangtan. The next year, he followed Gao Di to Chen County and arrested Han Xin, the king of Chu. Gao Di reappointed Xia Hou Ying's cognizance in Ruyin, and he cut the symbol for Xin, so that the title could be passed on from generation to generation. He also followed Gao Di to attack the Dai land as a Taiservant, and fought as far as Wuquan and Yunzhong, and Gao Di increased his cognac by 1,000 households. Then he followed the king of Han to the vicinity of Jinyang and defeated the Xiong Nu cavalry attached to Han Xin. When pursuing the defeated army to Pingcheng, he was surrounded by Xiong Nu cavalry and trapped for seven whole days without being able to free himself. Later, Gao Di sent his men to give many gifts to the Xiongnu King's queen Xiongnu, and only then did the King of Xiongnu, Heng Dun, open a corner of the encirclement. Gao Di tried to run away from the siege just after leaving Pingcheng City, but Xia Hou Ying firmly stopped the carriage and horses from walking slowly, and ordered the archers to draw their bows to the outside, and finally he got out of the danger. For this achievement, Emperor Gao gave Xiahou Ying 1,000 households in Xiayang as his cognizance. He also followed Emperor Gao to attack the Xiong Nu cavalry in the area north of Gouzhi Mountain as a Tai Servant and won a great victory. In his capacity as a Tai Servant, he attacked the Xiongnu cavalry in the south of Pingcheng and broke through the enemy's formation many times, and got the most merits, so Gao Di gave him 500 households of the captured cities as his cognacs. He also attacked the rebel armies of Minister Chen and Brandon Bu with the post of Tai Servant, and charged and repulsed the enemy, so he was granted another 1,000 households as a cognac. Finally, the emperor fixed Xiahou Ying's cognizance in Ruyin, ****6,900 households, and revoked the other cognizances he had previously granted.
Xiahou Ying, who had followed Emperor Gao Di to rise up in Pei County, held the post of a great servant for a long time, until Emperor Gao Di's death. After that, he served Emperor Xiaohui as a servant of the emperor. Emperor Xiaohui and Empress Lu were very grateful to Xiahou Ying for saving Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan on the way down to Yi County, so they gave him a first-class mansion in the north of the palace, which was named "Near Me", meaning "so that you can be closest to me", as a token of their special favor to Xiahou Ying. After the death of Emperor Xiaohui, he gave him a first-class mansion named "Near Me", meaning "so that he could be the closest to me", thus showing his special favor to Xiahou Ying. After the death of Emperor Xiaohui, he served Empress Gao as the Imperial Servant. When Queen Gao died and King Dai came to the capital, Xiahou Ying entered the palace to clean up the palace with Liu Xingju, the Marquis of Dongmou, in the capacity of the Imperial Servant, abrogated the young emperor, and greeted King Dai in his mansion with the law of the Son of Heaven, and set up King Dai as the Emperor of Filial Piety and Wenship together with his ministers, and Xiahou Ying still served as the Imperial Servant. He died eight years later and was posthumously named Marquis Wen. His son Yihou Xiahou Zao succeeded him and died seven years later. His son Xiahou Chi, Marquis of ****, succeeded him and died thirty-one years later. His son Xiahou Po married Princess Pingyang, and in the nineteenth year of his succession, that is, in the second year of Yuanding (115 BC), he committed suicide in fear of committing adultery with his father's royal maid, and his fiefdom was revoked.
-Zhou Bo
(? ~169 BC) A famous general of China in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties. He was a native of Pei County (now Jiangsu Province). His family was poor when he was young. In the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty (209 BC), he followed Liu Bang to start an army, and three years later, he was given the title of Marquis of Weiwu, and then promoted to general. When he followed Liu Bang from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, he participated in the attack on Zhao Ben, defeated Zhang Ping, besieged Zhang Han, and made many achievements in battle. In the Battle of Chenggao between Chu and Han, Zhou Bo first stayed in the town of □ Guan (northwest of present-day Shang County, Shaanxi Province), and then led his troops to fight in the main battlefield of Chenggao (present-day Bishui Town, Xingyang, Henan Province). In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Zhou Bo led his army to capture the counties of Sishui and Donghai (about present-day Anhui and northern Jiangsu). In the following year, he was appointed Marquis of Jiang. Afterwards, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant because of his success in suppressing the rebellion of Han Wang Xin. Later, he led the army to fight against the rebel minister of Zhao, Chen □, and the king of Yan, Lu ò, and successively pacified more than a hundred counties south of the Great Wall. When Liu Bang was critically ill, he told Empress Lu, "Zhou Bo is a man of great generosity and few words, but the one who will protect Liu will be Bo" (Records of the Historian - The Chronicles of Gaozu). After the death of Empress Lu, Zhou Bo, together with Chen Ping and others, took over the military power of the Lu Clan, killed all the kings of the Lu Clan, and established Emperor Wen, who later became the right prime minister. He died in the eleventh year of Emperor Wen's reign.
