Liu Bang's ancestors were aristocrats of the state of Wei. Later, after the unification of the six states by the Qin Dynasty, his family declined. During the Qin Dynasty, he served as the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Peixian county. Like Song Jiang, he was an official in the county. Because of his family background, he was also a local power faction.
According to historical records, Duke Lu came to Peixian because he took refuge. When the magistrate of Peixian heard that he had a beautiful daughter, he proposed to him. Duke Lu refused the marriage. Duke Lu invited the celebrities of Pei county to a banquet, and asked Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County, to collect the gift money. The banquet stipulated that the gift money should not exceed 1000 gold, and he could only sit in the hall. Liu Bang went to the banquet and yelled, "I'll pay ten thousand." In fact, he didn't bring any money. Lu Gong was good at meeting each other. Seeing Liu Bang's extraordinary bearing, he quickly asked Liu Bang to take the first place. After the banquet, he married his daughter LV Zhi (241-180 BC) to Liu Bang.
It used to be said that Liu Bang was 15 years older than LV Zhi, and his family was poor. In fact, LV Gong had his own eyes when he married his daughter. Liu Bang's family has a deep background. He can be called a famous family in Peixian. He has many friends and belongs to the local power group. LV Gong came to Peixian to avoid disaster and needed to make friends with powerful people.
When Liu banglie claimed ten thousand gold, he got a beautiful wife.
Through this banquet, Liu Bang made friends with Xiao He (257-193 BC) and got a powerful helper. Later, he got to know Cao Shen, the butcher fan Kuai, Xia Houying, the coachman, and Zhou Bo, the drummer.
When Liu Bang was young, he admired xinlingjun and came to Daliang. When he arrived at Daliang, xinlingjun was dead. He met Zhang Er (264-202 BC), a disciple of xinlingjun, and became a confidant. Later, Zhang Er was also the leader of the uprising in the late Qin Dynasty. He was granted the title of Changshan king by Xiang Yu and was also the king of Zhao in the early Western Han Dynasty.
Liu Bang was surrounded by a group of talented people. The uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty finally made a great achievement.
Lu Gong thought highly of Liu Bang. Later, Lu Gong was granted the title of Linsi marquis by Liu Bang. Lu Zhi's brothers Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi joined Liu Bang in the Chu Han war. They were granted the titles of Zhou Lu Marquis and Jiancheng Marquis respectively for their contributions. His other daughter LV Yi married Fan Yi.
Xiao he had been the backing of Liu Bang from the uprising in the late Qin Dynasty to the struggle for hegemony in the Chu and Han Dynasties. Cao Shen took the second place in the establishment of the Han Dynasty. He was granted the title of marquis Pingyang. When Emperor Huidi of the Han Dynasty was appointed, he was the official to the prime minister. Once he obeyed the restriction of Xiao He, he was known as "Xiao's rules and Cao's obedience". Fan Kuai, the brother-in-law of empress Lu, was the most courageous general under Liu Bang's command. He was granted the title of marquis Wuyang and posthumous Marquis Wu. Xia Houying followed Liu Bang's uprising and made great contributions to the war. Later, he was granted Ruyin marquis. Zhou Bo joined Liu Bang to fight against Qin Dynasty. He worshipped Liu Bang as a general and bestowed him military power.
When the county magistrate invited Liu Bang to a banquet to play a trick, he won a wife, a prime minister, and finally Jiangshan.
