This time, Liu Bang did not return to Peixian.
Instead, he returned to Feng County!
The two counties of Peifeng are adjacent to each other. Liu Bang's family is in Feng County, not Peixian. However, he mostly hangs out in Peixian. Later, with the help of Xiao He, he becomes the chief of the pavilion of Peixian. This gives Liu Bang that he is a native of Peixian. the illusion.
In fact, Liu Bang is a native of Fengxian County through and through, and this is his hometown where he was born and raised.
It's just that Liu Bang liked fancy clothes and enjoyed playing games with dogs and horses. At the same time, he didn't do his job or production, and caused trouble to his family all day long. Therefore, his reputation in his hometown of Feng County was not very good.
To be precise, it is very bad!
When he was young, Liu Bang was taught many lessons by his father. He was just a second-rate boy, no different from a gangster. He also liked to show off and brag about himself to build momentum for himself. Therefore, most of the gangsters in Feng County did not Even the powerful families in Feng County looked down upon Liu Bang.
When he was young, Liu Bang was probably equivalent to a gangster in Feng County who liked to show off but was exposed many times.
He couldn't survive in Feng County.
Later, by chance, he came to Peixian County, which is adjacent to Yufeng County, and met Xiao He and other brothers. Only then did he have a second spring in his life.
Under Xiao He's operation, Liu Bang became the chief of the pavilion, which was a small class jump. He met a group of brothers, both black and white, and finally became a well-known gangster leader in Peixian County.
But that's all.
People in Fengxian County know Liu Bang best and have always looked down upon Liu Bang. To put it bluntly, Liu Bang just became a small pavilion chief and turned from a gangster to a big gangster. There is far from a class jump.
Liu Bang suffered much more contempt and resentment towards the villagers in Feng County than he imagined.
Historically, Liu Bang revolted in Pei County and captured Peifeng County in one fell swoop, so he handed over Feng County to the powerful Yong Chi of Feng County for garrison.
As a prominent local family, Yongchi had always looked down upon Liu Bang, and was dissatisfied and succumbed to the notorious gangsters in Feng County in the past. When Liu Bang led his troops out, Yongchi offered Fengyi and joined the Zhou Dynasty of Wei.
Liu Bang was furious and returned to attack Feng County but failed to capture it. Liu Bang hated Yong Chi very much. He recruited soldiers and horses from Dang County to attack Fengyi again, but failed again. Finally, he borrowed 5,000 soldiers and horses from Xiang Liang, attacked Fengyi for the third time, and finally drove Yongchi away.
Feng County!
The hometown where Liu Bang was born and raised!
In this case, stab Liu Bang in the back!
The most damning nonsense is that under the leadership of Yong Chi, the folks in Feng County defended Feng County like a tie. They almost knocked out Liu Bang's teeth. If he hadn't borrowed 5,000 troops from Xiang Liang, he would have died. Even Liu Bang couldn't take Feng County.
As long as there is someone among them who has Liu Bang's heart, it will not be so difficult to defeat him.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Bang completely hated the people in Feng County to their core.
From then on, Liu Bang no longer considered himself a native of Fengxian County, but called himself a native of Peixian County, and later also called Peigong. He also made no secret of his hatred for Yongchi.
Later, when Liu Bang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he returned to Peixian County and met the elders and brothers of Peixian County. The first thing he did was to reduce or reduce taxes in Peixian County. From then on, people in Peixian County did not need to pay taxes for farming.
The people of Fengxian County were dissatisfied because of this. They also wanted to be free of rent. Moreover, it stands to reason that Fengxian County was the place where Liu Bang was born and raised. When he became emperor, he would no longer recognize his fellow villagers. Why would such a good thing not be given to his real fellow villagers?
The dissatisfaction of the people in Feng County became more and more intense. After all, this was the real hometown of the emperor, and the county officials did not dare to interfere blindly. They could only report it and spread it to Liu Bang's ears.
Liu Bang, he doesn't play tricks, he just hates, he makes it clear directly.
His mother went out to fight, and Yong Chi led the people of Feng County to rebel collectively. Fengpei was the first place Liu Bang occupied, and it can also be regarded as Liu Bang's two hometowns. Logically speaking, it should be Liu Bang's safest rear area. Who would have thought that the people of Feng County would Collective betrayal?
The most terrible thing is that the people of Fengxian County guarded it tightly. Liu Bang attacked dozens of times without success, and no one opened the city gate for him.
Throughout the success of Liu Bang's uprising, the people of Peixian County have always contributed manpower and material resources, constantly comforting him and persuading him. There is no reason why you still want to shamelessly say that this is your hometown after becoming the emperor.
Liu Bang did not recognize Feng County as his hometown, he only recognized Peixian County in his heart.
Although there is no collective betrayal in Feng County in the current time period, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive in Feng County and was looked down upon by others, how could Liu Bang have gone to Pei County to hang out?
As long as Liu Bang has some status in Feng County now, Liu Bang will not be collectively betrayed by the people of Feng County when the uprising occurs.
Enthusiastic fellow villagers sometimes collectively target an individual.
The simplicity of rural sentiment cannot be generalized, at least not for Liu Bang.
It is precisely because he encountered countless rolls of eyes and cold words in his hometown in Fengxian County that Liu Bang's obsession with returning home in rich clothes is so strong.
Fellow townspeople, distinguished families, relatives!
No one thinks highly of Liu Bang!
And now, he, Liu Bang, is back!
"Have a rest first, I'll take charge!" Liu Bang signaled his ministers to stop the car and asked him to drive it himself.
Li Chen did not refute, he just got out of the car respectfully and followed on foot. As a Li Chen, of course he was not qualified to let Liu Bang drive him.
Liu Bang's eclectic character subconsciously wanted to invite Li Chen to come in and ride in the car, but after thinking about it, it would be more majestic for Li Chen to walk below to clear the way for him, so he stopped abruptly.
"I am selfish, please forgive me!" Liu Bang bowed his hand, and the officials immediately returned the courtesy.
Liu Bang stood in front of the double carriage, high-spirited!
In fact, Liu Bang's driving skills were not very good. The class was there, and there were so many opportunities for Liu Bang to practice driving.
But it doesn't matter, he doesn't intend to drive fast, he just wants to drive slowly, the slower the better. He can't wait to move from here to home like a snail.
The two-horse carriage moved slowly and officially entered the boundary of Feng County.
It is now approaching autumn, the harvest season is approaching, and there are already people busy in the farmland.
Liu Bang stood still in the car, watching the figures working in the fields from a distance.
The first one, I don’t know.
The second one, I don’t know!
I still don’t know the third one, what a pity!
Feng County is a county after all. How could everyone know Liu Bang?
But he was already eager to use a loudspeaker to spread the word. It was the time when he needed to find someone he knew to say hello.
There is no other way. You can't stand on the carriage and shout, "Fathers and fellow villagers, I, Liu Ji, am back again, right?"
Liu Bang could not find anyone to say hello, and people busy in the fields only glanced at the double carriage from a distance, thinking that some noble person was traveling.
Liu Bang stayed in Pei County for a long time and did not return to Feng County. Naturally, not many people remembered Liu Bang's face, so no one came up to say hello.
This made Liu Bang feel itchy like a cat scratching his heart. He returned home in fine clothes, but he suddenly felt like walking in fine clothes at night.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, Liu Bang finally saw a figure that he seemed to have seen before.
It just seemed that he had met him before... and probably only had one or two spoken words from afar. Liu Bang didn't even know who the other party's name was.
But that's enough!
Liu Bang stopped the carriage as if he had caught prey, then straightened his clothes and leaned over.
"Old man, what are you busy with? I think this food is growing well!"
Liu Bang walked closer. He was dressed in fine clothes. The neatly arranged clothes looked so rich and powerful. The surprised old man hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then looked at Liu Bang's familiar manner and asked uncertainly: "God has eyes, so I haven't surrendered." What kind of disaster is coming? I dare you to ask..."
good!
Liu Bang was waiting for this sentence!
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw busy people nearby, although they were silent and did not dare to speak, but they were secretly peeking. He quickly stepped forward to help him up and the old man said eagerly: "Old man, you don't recognize me? I'm Liu Ji!"
"Liu Xuan, my dad! I'm the third child!" Liu Bang said in a loud voice, for fear that the people around him wouldn't hear.
"Liu Ji?"
With disbelief on his face, the old man looked carefully at the wealthy Liu Bang in front of him, only to find that between his eyebrows, he was really the once-disgraceful libertine!
There seemed to be whispers all around!
Liu Bang couldn't hear clearly what was being said, and he didn't need to know what they were saying. He just needed to know that the center of their discussion was himself.
"You are..." The old man couldn't believe it.
"I was lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty's minister Zhao Si and Zhao Siche. He did not dislike me, a wanderer who hung around in the market, so he made me his disciple and entrusted me with important responsibilities.
I now have to continue my journey with His Majesty's Grand Tour of the World. Time is running out and I have come home to say goodbye to my father. "
Liu Bang stood still and said very loudly!
This is also the loudest and most powerful thing he has ever said in front of his real fathers and fellow villagers.
After the words fell, there were bursts of exclamations and gasps from the crowd.
Zhao Si's reputation is widely spread!
Mainly because of the three kinds of immortal food, to a certain extent, Zhao Si's name is more widely spread than the names of the three gongs and nine ministers in the court.
This also avoided the embarrassing situation of Liu Bang pretending that they didn't know who Zhao Si was.
"Hi, but Zhao Shilang came back from the sea and brought back three kinds of immortal food?" The old man had a look of surprise on his face.
"Exactly, but my lord has now been promoted to doctor!" Liu Bang nodded and corrected the old man's small mistake.
A country fool, what kind of servant? Now he is a doctor, doctor!
After eliciting a satisfactory response, Liu Bang exchanged a few pleasantries before getting in the car and leaving.
No, this place is still too far away from home, there are too few acquaintances, and the pretense is not smooth enough.
The greatest happiness in life is nothing more than gaining satisfaction.
Liu Bang got into the car happily, and the smile on his face could not be wiped away. He continued to drive the car forward.
The further you go home, the more acquaintances you see.
People's reactions varied. Some people recognized Liu Bang and took the initiative to greet him.
Some people recognized them but deliberately pretended not to recognize them, kept their heads down and continued busy.
Some people don't recognize it at all.
Liu Bang didn't care. As long as he looked familiar, he should know him. He would get out of the car and greet them one by one. The main point was that if you don't want me to show off today, I would also pretend to be cool.
At this moment, Liu Bang was forcibly grabbing a neighbor who wanted to pretend that he didn't know him. The smile on the other person's face was full of embarrassment, and the words of congratulation he said were full of hypocrisy. It was precisely because of this that the smile on Liu Bang's face seemed Became more enthusiastic.
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, another person walked by on the road and stared at Liu Bang carefully for a long time.
"Liu Bang? It's you!" Yong Chi frowned and looked at the gangster he once looked down upon.
"Ah! Yong Chi? How did you know that I became Mr. Zhao's disciple? Mr. Zhao valued me and personally rewarded me with a two-driver car?" Liu Bang let go of his hand that forced him to greet Yong Chi, and looked at Yong Chi, Put your hands on your hips and look proud!
