Preface.
Speaking of feudal dynasties, we have to say that the Han Dynasty, the second unified power, can be said to be the first prosperous era in Chinese history.
Among them, the most eye-catching is Liu Bang, the great monarch who established the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bang was already in his forties when he started, simply put, he has been idle for decades, but the people who can build his empire in troubled times are definitely not ordinary people.
Why did Liu Bang achieve nothing in the first half of his life?
1.Do nothing.
It can be said that at the beginning, it was not because Liu Bang didn't want to be idle, but because the times didn't give him this opportunity, Liu Bang's life spanned three dynasties. From the beginning of the end of the Warring States Period, to the unification of China by Qin Shi Huang, and then to the establishment of the Han Dynasty by himself.
Liu Bang, who was born in an ordinary family, was not interested in reading, so he was often reprimanded by his father, but he still did not have much impact on Liu Bang.
When he was young, Liu Bang had been wandering around Chu and Wei, which also led to the fact that most of the people who followed him when he got into trouble.
After the fall of the Chu State, Liu Bang also realized that he couldn't be idle like this all the time, so he became a small cabinet chief in Surabaya. After becoming the cabinet chief, Liu Bang did not forget his original intention, and in the following days, Liu Bang always drank and chatted with friends. During this period, Liu Bang.
Many friends were made, many of whom had an impact on Liu Bang's later events. Liu Bang is open-minded and charitable, and every time Liu Bang goes out, he is always surrounded by a large group of friends.
and Liu Bang. is also very good, at that time, he just asked Lu Gong to willingly marry his daughter to Liu Bang, even if Liu Bang is nearly fifty years old and still has nothing to do, Lu Gong has never regretted it, in fact, Liu Bang's unique personality charm can also be seen from it.
After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, Liu Bang realized that the time had come.
2.Know people and make good use of them.
It can be said that Liu Bang still has many advantages, and it is precisely because of these advantages that he has achieved great things. Of course, Liu Bang in the early days also had these advantages, but unfortunately there was no room for display.
As we all know, Liu Bang's background was not high, and he was also an ordinary family at that time, a family that relied on farming for a living, and he had no talent in learning, which directly led to his low personal quality. At this time, you may think about the reasons for his success in the future, and one of the most important reasons is that he will use people.
Liu Bang's success is inseparable from three people, namely Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin, who are known as the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. It can be said that in the troubled times at that time, there were not a few people who were more hopeful than Liu Bang, but these three people have been following Liu Bang from the beginning.
And Liu Bang can easily see the strengths of each person and use them correctly. Zhang Liang has his own military strategy, and it can be said that Liu Bang is an indomitable military adviser. Han Shin's specialty is to lead troops to fight in battle, and he is the best candidate for a general. And Xiao He also has his own unique views on the economy.
Liu Bang was already old when he got up, and perhaps everyone has a stubborn idea about the elderly, that is, they are very stubborn and can't listen to other people's opinions. But Liu Bang.
Although he said that he was old, Liu Bang did not have this idea at all. Regarding Zhang Liang's military propositions, Liu Bang can be said to be obedient and will hardly go against Zhang Liang's original intentions. Of course, this has proven to be a positive thing.
Xiao He can say yes.
He is very talented in terms of economy, but Liu Bang can be said to know nothing about it, and in the face of Xiao He's decision, Liu Bang will not interfere too much, but directly hand over all the rights to Xiao He. For Hanshin, more.
Yes, as we all know, "generals will not be subject to the life of the monarch outside", so for some of Han Xin's actions on the battlefield, Liu Bang gave him great trust, so to speak, gave him enough room to play. Liu Bang commanded Han Xin's battle and never intervened.
It can be said that Liu Bang's way of controlling people is unparalleled, and it is precisely because of his unquestionable profession that everyone follows him wholeheartedly.
Among them, there is another thing, once Liu Bang caught a fugitive who escaped from elsewhere, no one knew about this person's past, but the day after Liu Bang took him in, he directly asked this person to follow him. Through this incident, it can also be seen that Liu Bang's unique personal charm as a leader and his means of persuading people.
Just said that Xiao He chased Han Xin back then, just.
It can be seen that Xiao He is already the prime minister next to Liu Bang at this time. Needless to say, Han Xin's previous experience is needless to say, he always felt that he was not reused, so after coming to Liu Bang's side for a long time, he was still a person who had nothing to do, and he was moved to leave.
Xiao He was shocked when he learned that Han Xin was gone, and before he had time to say anything to Liu Bang, he immediately chased him out. Here, Liu Bang suddenly received the news that Xiao He had escaped, and for a while Liu Bang could be said to be angry and anxious. After all, there is not only the love of master and servant between Xiao He and him, but the relationship between the two has been very deep from the beginning.
After Xiao He came back, Liu Bang could be said to be very annoyed, but he was also a little happy in his heart. When he knew that Xiao He was just chasing Han Xin, Liu Bang was very puzzled. Because Han Xin has also been under his command for many days, but he has never seen him.
However, he still listened to Xiao He's words and made him a general, not to mention the gap between the two later. Han Xin's help to Liu Bang is also undoubted.
3.Personality traits.
It is often said that character determines success or failure, and this sentence also applies to Liu Bang. Even if Liu Bang did not have any great achievements in the early days, his character also determined that Liu Bang would not be an idle person in the future. Liu.
His early experiences also laid the foundation for his later success, Liu Bang had wandered around before, and it can be said that he had seen all the warmth and coldness of the world. also forged his resolute character, even Liu Bang, who faced failure later, was able to quickly get out of failure.
Perhaps because he has not made great achievements for decades, the dashing Liu Bang still maintains an open-minded character even if he is in trouble, and in the following years, Liu Bang has always carried out this open-minded spirit to the end, and he will never be distressed by it when he encounters difficulties.
In today's words, it is to see that in the dispute with Xiang Yu at that time, Liu Bang was also frustrated many times, but every time he quickly adjusted the next step, and he was not in a hurry when he encountered things, it was precisely because of his calmness that many tricky things became simple. And Liu Bang is very broad-minded, and it is precisely because he is broad-minded and can listen to the words of the minister that Liu Bang won the whole world and calmed down the world of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.
His bravery and tenacity are also a big part of his success.
Conclusion. Looking at Liu Bang's success, of course, there are many personal factors, but I have to say that Liu Bang is also in an era suitable for him to shoot. As the ancients said, "The right time, the right place, and the right person are indispensable."
Liu Bang's ability to seize the opportunity also shows his unique vision, from which we can see the bravery and perseverance of a generation of heroes, as well as the recognition and good use of a generation of emperors.
