"Father, my son is going to buy the necessary things along the way."
Xiao Lu got up angrily and left the restaurant with the two people because he really couldn't bear to sit at the same table with a timid and lowly person like Han Xin.
He was a scoundrel who got into people's crotches, but his father was the dignified Captain of Thousand Stones Searching Su Su, a high-ranking official personally named by the Marquis of Changnan who oversaw the distribution of food and fodder for the entire army!
Xiao He just nodded, continued to drink the hot soup slowly, and said to Han Xin, who was a little cautious and a few feet away from the case: "Don't be restrained, just eat."
Han Xin only hesitated for a moment. Although the purpose of the "noble man" in front of him was unclear, he was a person who could even shamelessly eat cold meals brought by his mother. He was forced to do this by life, and he didn't care about anything.
, then he bowed to Xiao He and started eating.
This kid has been hungry for who knows how long. Although he is tall, he has a sallow complexion. Generally speaking, when a person who has been hungry for a long time has enough food, he will eat and drink so much that he wants to stuff all the pottery bowls and lacquerware on the table into his mouth.
inside.
But Han Xin ate very reservedly, or in other words, very vigilantly. After taking a bite, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao He. He was obviously a person who couldn't let go, and was very different from the ordinary free and easy knight.
Xiao He waited for him to take a few bites and regain his breath before saying:
"The inchworm bends to obtain trust; the dragon and snake stings to protect one's body. This sentence comes from the "Yi Zhuan". Many officials don't know, why would it come from the mouth of a Huaiyin commoner like you?"
Han Xin did not expect Xiao He to ask such a question.
It seemed that he had gained Xiao He's favor and was no longer a stranger to him, or that no one knew Han Xin in Huaiyin, and no one could understand what he said or read. Someone finally asked today, and he said with some excitement.
Remember your past.
Different from other accounts, Han Xin claimed that his parents were nobles. It was not known whether they came from South Korea or Huaibei, so Han Xin was taught literacy since he was a child. Later, the old man he rescued who claimed to be a "military strategist"
On this basis, he taught him the art of war and told him many principles of life, including the sentence Xiao He heard...
"military commander?"
Xiao He asked the old man's name, but Han Xin didn't know it either. He knew he couldn't figure out why, so he said: "Then let me ask you again, you are in the market, you clearly have a sword in your hand, but you would rather suffer this humiliation than fight back. Why?
"
This statement successfully hit Han Xin's wound. He stopped chewing in his mouth, puffed out his cheeks for a long time, then swallowed with difficulty, and said:
"The Art of War says: Do not move unless it is advantageous, use it unless it is necessary, and do not fight unless it is dangerous. The master cannot be angry and raise an army, and the general cannot be angry and go to war. Move when it is beneficial, and stop when it is not. Anger can return to joy, and anger can return to joy.
It can be restored to joy, but a destroyed country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be resurrected."
"Lord, this will be the case, and the same is true for the common people in Guizhou. Don't say that I can't beat the butcher's son with my hands. Even if I really kill him, what can I do except to vent my anger? Private fighting is guilty, and the murderer will die. I
Either he was killed by his father and brother in revenge, or he became a wanted murderer and was caught by the government and sentenced to death."
He couldn't get away after being beaten, and he couldn't get away. He fought with him to the death and paid his life for such a butcher. Han Xin, who was ambitious, was unwilling to do so. So in his judgment, crawling and straddling became the best option.
Good choice.
Having said that, a big humiliation is a big humiliation. Han Xin could get under the man's crotch, but he still couldn't pass his level. After leaving the store, he felt that his mind was blank. The "chaos in the world" that he had been looking forward to for a long time was delayed.
In the future, life is becoming increasingly difficult, and it seems that I can no longer even stay in my hometown.
He squatted like this in a daze for half an hour, until Xiao He's men called out to him that there was a distinguished person treating him to dinner, and Han Xin, driven by hunger, followed him.
Now that his stomach is full, Han Xin's vigilance is gradually rising. The Xiao He in front of him is well-dressed, generous, and protected by seven or eight followers. Could it be that he is rich and noble? Such a person must have a purpose for treating him so favorably!
A beautiful husband like Chen Ping, after receiving an unexpected favor, always thought that the other party wanted to anally fuck him. Han Xin was different. He left the table and paid his respects again:
"The noble man gave me a meal, and Han Xin has nothing to offer in return, but although I wield a sword, I do not kill anyone!"
Xiao He shook his head helplessly. Han Xin, perhaps because he had heard too many stories about Nie Zheng, thought that Xiao He was trying to imitate Yan Zhongzi from South Korea and wanted Han Xin to help kill people in exchange for favors!
"I... don't kill anyone."
It's true that he doesn't kill people, at least he doesn't need to do it himself.
Xiao He smiled and said: "From what you said, what I learned is not the art of assassination, nor the enemy of ten people, but the enemy of ten thousand people."
However, although Han Xianggong claims to have military strategists as his teachers and can often blurt out a few military tactics, knowing how to recite them and how to use them are completely different things.
Next, Xiao He asked him some questions about military skills, but Han Xin answered fluently. At least it was no problem to fool Xiao He, who knew little about military training and generals. The people in the restaurant looked at this scene in surprise, as if they were meeting Han Xin for the first time.
.
After roughly understanding Han Xin's abilities, Xiao He looked at the sky outside, took out something from his arms, and placed it on the desk. He saw a black ribbon and a bright red copper seal.
The official's eyes almost popped out, and Han Xin quickly bowed down.
"I didn't know that the noble man was a Qin official!"
The black ribbon copper seal is the symbol of an official with a rank of more than 600 stone. It is larger than the Huaiyin County Magistrate!
"I am Xiao He, the captain of Susu, and I have been ordered by the Marquis of Nanchang to go to the south to supervise the army's food supplies. Currently, there is a lack of manpower around me. Han Xin, since you have the art of strategy and strategy, are you willing to follow me and try it in the army?"
He added: "Of course, I started as a foot soldier, but I am the grain inspector. I don't need to go to the front line personally. It is safe and I can have enough to eat."
After the nobleman rewarded the meal and rewarded the work, and changed the housekeeper, he must bow his head and say thank you, but Han Xin hesitated and lay on the ground without saying a word for a long time. Everyone in the restaurant felt that this boy was crazy for joy.
Xiao He didn't force it, or in other words, he didn't particularly care. He stood up and walked past Han Xin. When he got to the restaurant, he left another sentence:
"I'm full, go ahead and eat. After eating, think carefully. Our boat will stop at Nanchang Pavilion and leave Huaiyin in half an hour!"
…
"Father, you actually want to invite that poor, humble and timid husband to accompany you?"
After Xiao Lu learned what happened in the restaurant, he was confused.
"Then Han Xin is courageous and incompetent. What skills does he have? Is it worthy of my father's exploration?"
Xiao He was not as kind to his son as he was to Han Xin, and said calmly:
"I talked to him for a few words and found out that he has self-awareness, extraordinary knowledge, and ambition. That's enough."
There is a saying in later generations that the so-called heroic men in ancient times must have the integrity to surpass others. If you can't endure the kindness of others, if a common man sees humiliation, he will draw his sword and stand up to fight. This is not brave. There are great brave men in the world.
However, he is not surprised when he is faced with it, and he is not angry when he is attacked for no reason. The hostage he holds hostage is very great, and his ambition is far-reaching...
Xiao He's thoughts were similar. He once met a man who was "a man capable of bending and stretching" and had high hopes for him. Unfortunately, Liu Ji met his nemesis and was now sent to Haidong to eat snow by the Marquis of Changnan. He was completely
It's cold.
Today, if Han Xin rose up with his sword and killed the dog butcher, Xiao He would not be surprised. There are many young knights in the world who are just and unyielding, but Han Xin chose to give in immediately. Such cowards can be seen everywhere.
But not many people can explain clearly why they should be timid when they should be timid.
This was just the first impression. Next, Xiao He also set up several tests for Han Xin.
When asking others about Han Xin's past, although he couldn't help himself, as soon as the other person showed disgust, he would leave immediately and no longer stay, which shows that this person is extremely sensitive to the good and evil of human relationships.
After the men found Han Xin, they came as soon as they called and explained that he was easy to trust. They didn't even think that this might be a trap or that he would be humiliated a second time. They came here stupidly. It was really naive.
After understanding his character, Xiao He made some inquiries and found out all about Han Xin's background. He found out that this man was indeed knowledgeable and knew some tactics of war, so Xiao He became interested in recruiting...
"My father actually thought that Han Xin was a piece of jade covered with dust and wanted to be Bian He who dug up jade?"
Xiao Lu understood and found it funny:
"What if he's actually a toilet rock?"
Xiao He didn't care much: "Jade has its own uses, and stone has its own uses. If you don't even understand this, how could I be a good official? Even if Han Xin is a stinky stone, I only spent one meal.
Meal money can be exchanged for a grateful heart."
In these troubled times, more favors will bring more protection. Even if he is just a small person, this has been Xiao He's way of doing things for many years. It's a pity that he could have made a huge profit investment, but he was ruined by the black man who came out halfway.
Already.
Xiao Lu was still mumbling: "But would the Marquis of Changnan like such a useless villain? What he wants is a strong man..."
"Who said I should recommend it to the Marquis of Changnan?"
Xiao He glanced at Zhou Chang, who was shouting at everyone and preparing to set off, and whispered to Xiao Lu:
"This Han Xin, I want to stay by my side! He still needs to be polished!"
"Furthermore, after arriving in the south, I was named the Captain of Su Su appointed by the Marquis of Changnan, but in fact, the grain officials under me were all Tu Sui's old subordinates. If we want to subdue them, how can we not have anyone around us who can be used?
"
Xiao Lu nodded in confusion, still not understanding that his father wanted to have a sharp eye again and started his second investment.
But just as the ship was about to leave, Han Xin didn't arrive for a long time. Xiao Lu couldn't help but cursed: "Then Han Xin wouldn't be like Fan Kuai of Pei County, afraid of the southern miasma and run away, right?"
"He will come."
Xiao He stood on the side of the ship, not worried at all.
"After suffering this great shame and humiliation, Han Xin can no longer stay in his hometown. Even if I don't invite him, he will leave on his own."
In this era of relocation, why do people leave their hometowns?
Because I can't stay any longer...
Also because of my ambition...
Although they only met once and exchanged a few words, Xiao He had eaten Han Xin to death!
Sure enough, just as the appointed time was about to come, Han Xin came. He came from the river and was wet. It turned out that he had taken a bath in the river...
Han Xin strode to the dock, faced Xiao He who was looking down at him on the boat, knelt down on one knee, and held his sword in front of him!
The young man lowered his head, because of the favor of a meal, because of the conversation and recognition when he was at his lowest, he will be grateful to Xiao He for the rest of his life!
"Xiao Jun, Han Xin is willing to go!"
…
As the rope was untied and the paddles were rowed, the ship left Nanchangting Pier and headed towards Hangou.
Xiao He didn't show too much concern for Han Xin. He just asked someone to throw him a clean set of Qin soldiers' clothes. Han Xin thanked him repeatedly and put them on silently in a corner. He could feel that, except for Xiao He, everyone else on the ship was looking at him.
All the time, there was contempt in his eyes.
The same goes for the people on the shore. The Nanchang pavilion chief and the pavilion guards watched the ship go away, and his wife was still pointing at Han Xin on the ship. They were probably happy that this wandering prodigal had disappeared, right? Then they slowly forgot about it, but
When I was chatting, I mentioned that reserved young man and said:
"Han Xin has been away for a long time."
Then, the idle people must have talked with great interest about Han Xin's feat of cowardly and cowardly getting into someone's crotch!
Yes, the water of the Huaihe River that gave birth to Han Xin could wash away the filth on his body, but it could not wash away the heavy shame. Han Xin knew that the humiliation of his crotch would probably accompany him throughout his life.
How to fade it?
The master who taught him the art of war once said that Gou Jian was humiliated by Kuaiji and tasted excrement for King Wu's husband. Later, he used his merits and revenge to wash away this humiliation.
Unlike Gou Jian, Han Xin is not interested in revenge. What he longs for is to find a stage where he can prove himself and create dazzling achievements!
Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited and shouted loudly to the people on the shore.
"Nanchang Pavilion Chief!"
"Han Xin will repay your family's favor!"
Whether those people could hear it or not, Han Xin didn't know and didn't care. He was shouting this to himself.
"I will return……"
Looking at Huaiyin in the distance, the city that raised him and humiliated him so that he could not gain a foothold, Han Xin secretly made up his mind!
"One day, I will return home rich and wealthy!"
The boat disappeared downstream and the tourists were far away. At Nanchang Pavilion Pier, the pavilion chief's wife spit in the water with great disdain.
"What kind of meal? Han Xin had at least two hundred meals for free at my house!"
…
In Meng Chun, the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang, when Xiao He took Han Xin to Yuzhang, Changnan Hou Heifu also arrived in Anlu County, Nanjun. He returned to his hometown with rich clothes and angry horses...
