Hearing that Liu Bang was in Guanzhong, Xiang Yu was furious and went to Hong Men to attack Liu Bang. Because Liu Bang was defeated by his army, he listened to Sean's advice, went to the Hongmen and made a humble speech. Xiang Yu named Liu Bang Hanwang, ruling Bashu and Hanzhong. Unwilling to be monopolized by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang led the army eastward and launched the Chu-Han War for four years. In the early stage of the war, Liu Bang was at a disadvantage and suffered repeated defeats and wars. However, he knew people well, paid attention to training, gave full play to the talents of his subordinates, paid attention to uniting forces against Xiang Yu, and finally turned defeat into victory. In the winter of the fifth year of Hanwang, Liu Bang invited Han Xin, Peng Yue and others to lead the troops into the Chu army. Xiang Yu led his troops to break through and commit suicide in Wujiang River. In February of that year (according to the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, October was the beginning of a year, and February of the same year was after October), Liu Bang became emperor, with Luoyang as his capital, and soon moved to Chang 'an, which was called the Western Han Dynasty in history.
After Liu Bang ascended the throne, he took many important measures, such as reducing rent, paying 15% tax, and "sharing interest with the people". All people who sell themselves as slaves because of hunger are exempt from being Shu Ren, and soldiers are demobilized and go home without taking corvee. He continued to implement the system of dividing fields and houses according to military service in the Qin Dynasty, stipulating that businessmen were not allowed to travel by car and increasing taxes. In order to restore the broken social economy and stabilize the feudal ruling order. He also cut down governors with different surnames to strengthen a unified centralized country. He thought that Qin failed to enfeoffment his children, which led to loneliness, so he divided the land and enfeoffment nine princes with the same surname. He also accepted Lou Jing's strong and weak suggestions, and moved 65438+ Wan Qiang heroes from the six Kanto countries to settle in Guanzhong.
After Qin's death, Xiongnu in Mobei took the opportunity to go south and reoccupy Henan (now Hetao area in Inner Mongolia). At the beginning of Han Dynasty, Xiongnu invaded the border counties of Han Dynasty. In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu (20 1), Han Wangxin surrendered to the Huns. The following year, Liu Bang personally led the troops to conquer, and was besieged by more than 300,000 tarkan for seven days and nights in Deng Bai (now northeast of Datong). After using Chen Ping's stratagem, E Shi, who was guilty of modu chanyu, escaped from danger. Since then, Liu Bang had to adopt a pro-Xiongnu policy, open the market between Han and Xiongnu, and ease the relationship between the two sides.
When Liu Bang was young, he was bohemian and looked down on Confucian scholars. After he proclaimed himself emperor, he thought that he could win the world at once, and his poems and books were useless. Lu Jia said, "I'll get it soon. Why not treat it immediately?" Liu bang ordered Lu Jia to write a book to discuss the reasons why Qin lost the world for reference. He ordered Xiao He to re-enact laws and regulations, namely "Nine Chapters of Han Law". In his later years, Liu Bang doted on his father and son, alienated him, and tried several times to depose Lv Hou's daughter Ying. However, due to the minister's opposition, I had to give up. In the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, Liu Bang was shot by a flowing arrow because of his crusade against Ying Bu rebellion, and later he became seriously ill and died.
