When Liu Bang was down and out, why did Lv Gong betroth his daughter to him?

Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, did not have a prominent family background, nor did he see his extraordinary talent when he was a child. He is naughty, difficult to read and has a bad reputation. He wandered about in the country, slovenly and penniless. Liu bang has the advantage that he doesn't care about details and is open-minded. In the present words, this person is more advantageous and familiar. As an adult, Liu Bang performed military service in Xianyang. On one occasion, when he saw Qin Shihuang's patrol, he was greatly envious and could not help but sigh: "Ah, a gentleman should be like this!" "

After his military service, Liu Bang returned to his hometown and became the curator of Surabaya Pavilion. This is a small grass-roots official who was not compiled in the Qin Dynasty. He is mainly responsible for conscription, levy and public security in several villages. This pavilion post is generally held by retired soldiers, which is difficult to do. Without a little brain and ability, honest people are unwilling to do it and can't do it well. After Liu Bang became the director of the pavilion, he did not change his role as a gangster in the village. He eats hard and is lazy. He is a glutton and lustful man. I often get drunk when I drink, and I like to find women after drinking. He is a standard person who eats, drinks, whores and gambles. Because he has no money in his hand and likes to drink, he often goes to Wu Jia's restaurant in Wangjiazhuang to buy wine on credit. He drinks when he comes on credit and is often drunk. By the end of the year, Liu Bang could not pay back the old woman's drinks. People in the village are honest. Liu Bang is handsome, young, personable, influential and kind. Knowing that Liu Bang had no money, he ruined the account book signed by Liu Bang, which was equivalent to Liu Bangbai drinking wine from the old woman's restaurant for a year. The next year, Liu Bang came to the old lady's restaurant to buy wine on credit. Of course, he doesn't come to buy wine every day, but comes here every once in a while. Liu bang is not a local strongman. Although the old woman doesn't want Liu Bang's money, she doesn't hate Liu Bang either.

In the place of single father, there is a family named Lu. His parents are good friends with the county magistrate of Pei County, Liu Bang's hometown. In order to avoid the enemies of the single father's place, the whole family moved to Pei County. The hero of Peixian county heard that the magistrate invited guests and sent gifts to the magistrate according to local customs, expressing welcome and congratulations. These gifts are collected by Xiao He. Because there are too many people giving gifts, Xiao He announced: "If the gift is less than 1,000 yuan, please take a seat, and Lv Gong won't accept it." Liu bang lied that he had sent ten thousand yuan. In fact, he only came one person. He is too poor to send money. Liu Bang is also a local celebrity. Xiao He has known him for a long time, so Xiao He immediately exposed Liu Bang and said, "Liu Bang, you dare to talk big. You have never seen a penny." But Lv Gong heard Liu Bang, saw Liu Bang and received Liu Bang. Lv Gong had a talk with Liu Bang, respected Liu Bang's speech and appearance, and seated Liu Bangying. Later, despite the opposition of his family, Lv Gong simply betrothed his daughter Lv Zhi to Liu Bang. Lv Zhi was the later Lv Hou. Writing here, I really don't understand, where did Lv Gong see that Liu Bang would succeed in the future? Why is this Lv Gong's eyesight so good?

At that time, Qin Ershi built a big palace, and the project is still going on. As the director of the pavilion, Liu Bang sent his disciples to Lishan as the county. On the way, many apprentices escaped. Liu Bang estimated that if he couldn't reach Mount Li, the prisoners would run away. If so, he has a great responsibility as a curator and must be beheaded. So, when they arrived in Fengxi Zezhong, Liu Bang ordered to untie the ropes that bound the prisoners and said to everyone, "You all run. I can't go back after you ran away. I have to run and hide. " These prisoners know that it is a capital crime for Liu Bang to let them go! Seeing that Liu Bang is so brave, dozens of brave men are willing to follow Liu Bang's uprising. Liu bang took these strong men as the backbone and began to pull up the team.

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), Chen Sheng and Guangwu revolted, and all localities responded in succession. County Rebels Kill Local Governors of Qin Dynasty. In September, Peixian county magistrate wanted to respond to the Chen Sheng uprising, and Xiao He suggested that the magistrate convene the fleeing personnel and increase the manpower. Pei Ling Fan Kuai (Liu Bang's brother-in-law) called Liu Bang. Liu bang is already a figure, and his men have raised many military forces. In Pei County, Pei Ling felt that there were too many men under Liu Bang, fearing that he could not control Liu Bang and regretted calling Liu Bang out of the city, so he kept Liu Bang out of the city and took it out on Xiao He and Cao Can, trying to kill them. Xiao He and Cao Can were afraid of being killed, so they crossed the city together to find Liu Bang. After Liu Bang captured Xiao He and Cao Can, he plotted to capture Pei County. Several people decided to deceive him, so Liu Bang had the city photographed in silk, which said, "Ku Jin is suffering all over the world, and now anti-Qin rebels are everywhere, and Peicheng will soon be captured. If the city is broken, it will be slaughtered, and none of you will live. Folks guarding the city, I advise you to kill Pei Ling and make an optional county magistrate to respond to the rebels, so that your's parents, wife and children can be safe and sound. Otherwise, you will all be killed by the rebels. By that time, it will be too late. "

The soldiers guarding the city read Liu Bang's letter and felt justified. They immediately defected, killed Pei Ling, opened the city gate, welcomed Liu Bang into the city, and elected Liu Bang as the county magistrate. Liu Bang refused, explaining, "If you choose the wrong person, you will be defeated, but think about it." Liu Bang takes the slide backwards, while Xiao He and Cao Can are old officials in Peixian County, who have prestige and can be candidates for county magistrate. But they are all civil servants, afraid that they will fail every step and be exterminated. They didn't want to be a county magistrate, so they pushed Liu Bang with everyone, so Liu Bang became a county magistrate and used the red flag as a symbol. Xiao He, Cao Can, Fan Kuai and so on. More than 3,000 brave men gathered in Peixian County, and together with Liu Bang's troops, under the command of Liu Bang, rose up against Qin. From then on, they began to seize the Qin Dynasty.

Lv Gong was not mistaken about Liu Bang, Lv Gong's good friend Pei Ling was killed, and the Lu Gong family was protected by Liu Bang. As Liu Bang's prestige is getting higher and higher, the status of Lu Gong's family is getting higher and higher, and no enemy dares to look down upon Lv Gong.
