After Luo Yi defeated the Qin soldiers in a storm on the bank of the river, he led the defeated troops to organize while walking.
There were only two to three thousand elite soldiers in this army, and all their armor was left behind when they fled for their lives.
Although the Qin people were defeated by the river, after the storm, the armor was cold and difficult to carry, so the army quickly left with only light weapons.
Luo Yizheng was judging the direction of the army's march. His plan was to rush to Zhengdi and Chendi first, which were not within the Qin Dynasty's sphere of influence for the time being, and where the rebels could get supplies of food and grass.
"Sir, a scout came to report that they saw an army of ten thousand people in front. They were in good order and did not have the banner of attacking the Qin Dynasty. They looked like they were rebels led by heroes from Shandong."
At present, in the world, except for the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, no one has openly rebelled. In the vast land of Shandong, heroes have rebelled in almost every county. No cover at all.
Even in later generations, this kind of situation where everyone from the nobles to the head of Guizhou and everyone in the world is rebelling is almost impossible to see. It is a strange sight to be so unpopular.
The army of tens of thousands is not the key, but the scouts said it was in good order, which shows that this rebel army did not just take advantage of the chaos, at least the people leading the army have good abilities.
The two armies stopped not far apart. Luo Yi sent people to run, and learned that the opposite side was indeed a rebel army. The leader was named Liu Bang, and everyone he knew personally called him Liu Ji. He gathered a crowd to revolt, and was recommended by his brothers. He was named Peigong along the way. After gathering the fleeing people of Guizhou, there were tens of thousands of people, and there were many fierce generals in the army, so they wanted to meet them. If it was suitable, they would go together directly, and then gather with the rebels from all over the world.
The envoy directly clasped his fists and said: "I have met Mr. Pei. We are the old army of King Chen. Thanks to Mr. Luo for rescuing us, we are now under his command."
Mr. Luo too?
Due to some special reasons, in the past thousand years, there were only a few dozen people with the Luo family name in the world, and nobles would avoid the word Luo when changing their family name.
Liu Bang's expression perked up and he asked quickly: "But he is a direct descendant of the Luo family, the young master who retreated the Qin army in a storm on the bank of the river."
The envoy said proudly: "He is the blood descendant of King Su and the direct son with the holy mark on his body."
Liu Bang was very happy when he heard this and asked repeatedly: "Can we go and see you?"
The envoy received Luo Yi's order, so it was natural. Liu Bang then said to his left and right: "Brothers, I will go to see you as soon as possible. This is a direct descendant of the Luo family, and ordinary people have never seen it in their lives."
Everyone was moved, and Xiao He was equally happy and said: "We started the uprising in the name of King Su, and did not go through the Luo family. It is finally a wrong name. Now we just meet the direct descendants of the Luo family, and we can point out the way forward for the rebels in the world. Moreover, together with the Luo family, Together with our family, we never worry about falling at any time."
From the remarks of the two men, it is obvious that Liu Bang and Xiao He are still in the first stage of the uprising - drifting with the crowd.
There is no rebel army in this world. They have a very clear goal from the beginning. They want to overthrow the emperor and become the emperor themselves. As their strength grows, they suddenly find that they seem to have the ability to conquer the world, so their ambitions will expand sharply. .
The first time Liu Bang saw Luo Yi, he was shocked by the beautiful appearance of Luo Yi, especially the stigmata between his eyebrows which gave him an inexplicable feeling.
He has always been a bit different from ordinary people. When he was just a pavilion chief in the past, when he saw the carriage of the First Emperor, he could tell that he was a real man.
Maybe it was bragging, but at least Liu Bang dared to think and do it.
Seeing Luo Yi now, he sighed to Xiao He: "I, Liu Ji, come from a humble background. If I can marry a Luo girl for Ying'er and marry this thousand-year-old noble, I will be considered a man. If I can get some more books, Liu Ji will be a man." I can't help but be noble, maybe the anger really fell on me that day."
As he spoke, he burst out laughing, finding it very interesting.
So far, there are no fixed conditions for marrying a daughter of the Luo family. The marriage proposal Liu Bang mentioned is naturally not about mutual love, but a political marriage. Being able to get the Luo family to agree to a political marriage shows that Liu Bang really looks like a person, and it also shows that Liu Ying is not bad either, and can catch Luo's eye.
Xiao He heard the words and said with a smile: "Pei Gong, you are one of the few true heroes in the world. When you have conquered Qin and achieved great success, you can propose to the Luo family. Although the Luo family is noble, they are not arrogant. As long as the young master is kind and dignified, the Luo family will definitely marry him." would agree.
Moreover, although Madam's family is far more dilapidated than before, it is still Jiang's surname Lu. With this connection, as long as the young master is not too bad, there will definitely be no problem. "
Liu Bang's eyes lit up. He actually forgot that his wife, Lu Fei, was from the Lu family with the surname Jiang. This was actually because the Lu family was a duke of Qi. After the fall of Qi, a large number of Lu's dukes were moved to Guanzhong. There were only two or three big cats and kittens left.
As one of the major shareholders of Bang Zhou, the Lu family suffered a major blow after Zhou's death. Many people changed their family names to seek refuge. Those like the Lu Pheasant family who did not change their family names were already considered stubborn, so they had to move and seek refuge. , was constantly hit along the way, and now, he is not even considered a powerful person in the county, but can only be regarded as a relatively wealthy landowner.
Liu Bang was happy in his heart. The relationship between relatives is not afraid of distance. As long as they move around more, it will be fine. If it doesn't matter, it will be difficult to contact them. After all, they are not their own.
The two of them rode forward while chatting and laughing. Luo Yi looked at the two of them. Although he was not as good at recognizing people as Luo Cai, he could still tell some basic things.
The leader is a little older, his attire is a little irregular, and there are no traces of years of hard work, indicating that he is not a real farmer. There is a sense of wantonness between his eyebrows. At first glance, he is a person who does not stick to etiquette. He should be working at the grassroots level. There are a lot of people who crawl around, and they are either a ranger or a smart little official who often interacts with people.
As for the people around him, judging from their attire and the looming calluses on their hands, they should be swordsmen and pen officials. There were too many such people in the Qin Dynasty, but they could serve as the second-in-command in such an army of tens of thousands of people. , at least the ability should still be very good.
When Liu Bang saw Luo Yi, he immediately dismounted and clasped his fists, saying: "Liu Ji has met the young master. Previously at home, he often heard his beloved mention all the glorious deeds of the Luo family. He was full of praise and said that the most glorious thing in his life was having the blood of the Luo family in his family." , but seeing is worth hearing a hundred times. After meeting you today, I realized how precious you are."
Liu Bang has no problem in dealing with others. He is a typical knight-errant character with a straightforward personality. If you don't like someone, you will naturally be humiliated in every possible way. But for those you value, he will definitely make people feel like a spring breeze. This is a person with great personality and charm. .
Everyone was carrying the sedan chair, and Luo Yi also dismounted and clasped his fists, saying: "Pei Gong, you are really over-honored. You just rely on some of the achievements of your ancestors and the people in the world give you a little face. I don't know which branch of the Luo family your wife is." Descendants of the tribe?”
Liu Bang said with a smile: "My beloved is the Lu family with the surname Jiang. The third generation ancestor married the noble daughter of the Luo family and gave birth to her."
When Luo Yi heard what Liu Bang said, there was a hint of intimacy in his words. After all, Liu Bang was willing to draw out this relationship, which proved that he had good intentions, so he asked with a smile: "I see, then we are a family." Now, where is Pei Gong going with all the heroes?"
Liu Bang then said: "I heard that the Luo clan and the Xiang clan in Jiangdong raised an army against Qin together and wanted to gather the heroes of the world. I was about to take my brothers to seek refuge. I didn't expect to meet you on the way, which saved me time."
Luo Yi said with some pride: "The person who rebelled against Qin in the land of Jiangdong was Yi's eldest brother Ling, the current head of the Luo family. The eldest brother has unparalleled wisdom, his vision can see through all the fog in the world, and his strategies are all perfect. successful.
In the thousand-year history of the family, there are only a few people such as the ancestors Wen Gong and Xuan Gong who can surpass the eldest brother.
As long as the eldest brother takes action, the only outcome for Bao Qin is destruction. "
Xiao He and Liu Bang looked at each other. The Luo family has been in the direct line for thousands of years. There are countless talented people, but now they respect this eldest brother so much.
What kind of gods are Duke Wen of Luo and Duke Luo Xuan? They are called ministers, but they are actually kings. After going through the Xia Dynasty for thousands of years, they can be regarded as holy kings. Now the prince also uses these two to compare them. A big brother's mausoleum is really the highest praise.
Liu Bang smiled and praised: "In such troubled times, a wise man like your eldest brother appeared in the Luo family. Is it a coincidence? King Su must have sent him to the world to kill the violent Qin and return the world to the world. The world is clear for everyone.
With Luo's leadership, we will surely achieve the final victory. Young Master, please allow us to go with you to form an alliance with the heroes of Shandong. We are from humble backgrounds, do we have the qualifications to participate? "
This shows that Liu Bang is different. He is a person who is unwilling to be subordinate to others, even Luo. Although he hopes to get some benefits from Luo and even get help and respect from Luo, he is not willing to Not even Luo Shi can lose his control over his power.
Luo Yi was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he looked at Liu Bang in surprise. His evaluation of him changed a little. He was a hero with the qualifications to be a master. He just didn't know what his qualifications were. This still requires continuous observation. .
The qualification of a leader is a very rare thing. It has little to do with personal ability. Many people with outstanding abilities in all aspects can only be ministers and not monarchs. This is a difference in thinking. Liu Bang It is precisely someone who has this kind of thinking.
Xiang Yu was originally the best choice, but he has huge character flaws, and they are all fatal to being the leader.
The only solution is to marry him a daughter, and perhaps influence him through relatives.
However, Luo Shi has not given up on him completely. After all, people's personalities can be changed. However, out of caution, he still started to look for new candidates.
Now Liu Bang showed this trait in front of Luo Yi, and his wife was born in the Lu family with the surname Jiang. Liu Bang made himself appear in Luo's inspection sequence with just a few words.
"Pei Gong, you are a hero from Shandong, and there are so many rebels willing to follow you. If you are not qualified to join the alliance, who else is worthy of joining?
You said that you have a humble status, but Chen Sheng was born as a farmer, but that did not prevent him from being a hero who initiated the uprising. He called him King Chen. His eldest brother Ling once said that Chen Sheng was not noble because he was called king. On the contrary, King Chen was called King Chen because of his existence. And noble.
The most noble thing in this world is never blood, but virtue and ability.
Just like the ancestor Su Wang, Su Wang's original intention is that he does not occupy the throne but has the character and achievements of a king. Can anyone surpass the ancestor's achievements and virtues?
After thousands of years, can anyone still use the title Su Wang?
In this glorious land of Xia, is there anyone who has the dignity to use the title Su Wang to praise himself? "
Liu Bang said resolutely: "Of course not. King Su is the real Three Emperors of Gonggai and the Five Emperors of Demai. If there was no King Su, I am afraid there would be no Zhuxia now. Would we people still appear in the world?"
Even the people who followed Liu Bang looked like they should take it for granted. The world Ji Zhao traveled to was the most difficult one. This was not just a matter of time.
As the biggest main line in the early stage, the struggle between the Xia and the barbarians was very fierce, even far exceeding that in real history, especially the rebellion of the Yin and Shang remnants.
No one can calculate exactly how many tribes Ji Zhao conquered during the Eastern Expedition. Anyway, traces of various mass graves from the past can be seen under the big cities of various countries.
This is the most glorious history of the Luo family, and it is constantly promoted among the Xia. Although the First Emperor tried to erase it, he could not succeed in a short period of time.
Luo Yi laughed loudly and said: "Pei Gong, you may not be like other rebels, you are a descendant of the so-called nobles of the six countries or even the six kings, but a real man always relies on his own hands. Princes and generals are not born noble. kind.
You are Pei Gong. If one day, with your own efforts, you can make the word "pei" as noble as the word "zhao", wouldn't this be the most satisfying thing? "
Liu Bang was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect Luo Yi to say this to him. These chicken soups for the soul are very useful for people like Liu Bang. This is what Luo Yi and his sister Luo Cai learned.
Anyway, goodwill and encouragement are free of charge, so let’s talk more. When the world is in chaos, who knows which hero will be able to ride the wind and rise. If you show more goodwill now, you will have many more retreats and trump cards in the future.
"Sir, I really don't know what to say. If I become rich one day, I will definitely not forget your kind words today."
Luo Yi walked up to Liu Bang and laughed loudly: "You will definitely become rich!"
Everyone laughed and walked together.

Emperor Gaozu had a banquet in Changle. After three rounds of drinking, he said to Marquis Ying: "We met at the beginning of the year. I am a humble person. You treat me with courtesy. I dare not or forget it."
Marquis Ying said: "Your Majesty has a heroic appearance in the sky, which is different from ordinary people. I see that there is purple energy entrenched on the top of your majesty's clouds. Our ancestor King Su said: Purple energy comes from the east and a saint is born. This is a sign of innate nobility, so I dare not neglect it." "
The great ancestor Sa Ran gave the city thousands of households, and the honor and favor of the Yinghou were immeasurable for a time. ——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu"
