Why did Liu Bang's early friends later become top talents?

Before Liu Bang became emperor, he was a real rascal. Because Liu Bang has a loose personality and idleness, he is always surrounded by a group of friends. It can't be said that after Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor in his later period, all his early friends became top talents, but only a few of them.

Xiao He may be the only real talent. There is an idiom in China called Xiao He and Xiao He's downfall. It is because of Xiao He's foresight that he recruited many talents for Liu Bang. At that stage when Liu Bang was still idle, Xiao He was actually a teacher. The reason why he followed Liu Bang was because he regarded Liu Bang as an emperor.

Legend has it that Liu Bang's ears are above his shoulders and his arms are above his knees, which is absolutely attractive to this kind of literati. And some other early friends, later don't rank. It was also because Xiao He recruited Han Xin into Liu Bang's pen, which made great contributions to Liu Bang's establishment of the Han Dynasty. But in the end, Liu Bang killed Han Xin because of Xiao He's own words. Although Liu Bang has no talent, he likes to make friends, and he likes to make friends with just people all over the world.

I feel that he is similar to Song Jiang, and this is his character. After his uprising, so many people will follow him willingly. There is another person who is very helpful to Liu Bang's success, and that is his father-in-law. Because when Liu Bang was a gangster, his father-in-law was already an influential rich gentleman, and his father-in-law also thought that Liu Bang would make a difference before betrothing his daughter to him, which laid a solid foundation for his future success.
