About This Novel

Reckless momentum: Liu Bang, a petty official in Peixian County, was forced to flee to Mangdang Mountain due to negligence in escorting a disciple. However, he used the White Snake Uprising to rally people's hearts. With the support of the elders in Peixian County, he responded to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising and called himself Peigong. Fighting for supremacy in troubled times: After Liu Bang defected to Xiang Liang, he and Xiang Yu became brothers with different surnames, but they each had their own agendas. When Xiang Yu's Battle of Julu shocked the princes, Liu Bang adopted Zhang Liang's strategy to march westward to Guanzhong and took the lead in attacking Xianyang to accept the surrender of Prince Qin Ying. Hongmen Cry: Xiang Yu set up a banquet at Hongmen to get rid of Liu Bang. Liu Bang escaped with the help of Fan Kuai Zhongyong and Zhang Liang, and was forced to accept the title of the King of Han and retreat to Bashu, secretly accumulating strength. Secretly assassinating Chencang: Han Xin proposed the strategy of building a plank road to secretly assassinate Chencang, and Liu Bang also decided on the Three Qin Dynasties, starting the Chu-Han struggle with Xiang Yu for hegemony. After the defeat in Pengcheng, Liu Bang was almost desperate, but he was able to regain his strength thanks to Xiao He's logistical support. The decisive battle at Gaixia: Han Xin was ambushed on all sides, Zhang Liang was besieged on all sides, and Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang River. Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and established the Han Dynasty after being elected by the princes, ushering in the first long-term and stable unified dynasty in Chinese history.
