Both Historical Records and Hanshu said that Liu Bang was a rogue, lazy, lustful, lazy and stubborn, and never engaged in agricultural production. Therefore, not only his neighbors greatly despise him, but even his father, Taigong, looks down on him and often compares his second son, Liu Zhong.

Liu Bang: An Outstanding Politician
As an outstanding politician, he should have a good reputation and win the support of the masses. Although Liu Bang was born in a lower class, he did not receive a good education and his reputation in the countryside in his early years was not very good. However, after he joined the rebel army and devoted himself to the great cause of anti-Qin, he left an impression of an elder. It is this that gives him a head start in the competition with Xiang Yu.
As an outstanding politician, he should be proficient in political strategy and understand the overall situation. After Xiang Yu entered the customs, he heard that Liu Bang was going to be king, and he couldn't help but be furious. In order to eliminate misunderstanding and prevent military conflict with Xiang Yu, Liu Bang risked his life and rushed to Xiang Yu's barracks. At the Hongmen Banquet, relying on the courage and wisdom of politicians, Xiang Yu was persuaded, direct conflict was avoided, and time was won for later victory.
As an outstanding politician, you should be able to bear the burden of humiliation and not fight for the moment. At the beginning of the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang took advantage of Xiang Yu's eastward expedition to Qi, led various governors to crusade against Chu, captured Pengcheng, the capital of Chu, and fought against Xiang Yu with many troops, resulting in a crushing defeat. With this lesson, Liu Bang avoided direct fighting with Xiang Yu in the later war, but attacked his subordinates, making Xiang Yu exhausted.
