Chapter 640: A Meal
"Father, son will go buy the necessary things along the way."
Xiao Lu got up angrily and left the restaurant with the two of them, because he really couldn't stand it and sit at the same table with a timid and lowly person like Han Xin.
That's a who drills into the crotch of a man, and his father is a dignified captain of Qianshi Sosu, and he is a senior official named by the Marquis of Changnan to supervise the distribution of grain and straw for the whole army!
Xiao He just nodded, continued to drink the hot soup slowly, and said to Han Xin, who was a little restrained and a few feet away from the case: "Don't be restrained, eat." β
Han Xin only hesitated for a moment, although the purpose of the "nobleman" in front of him was unknown, but he was a person who could be cheeky even with the cold rice brought by his mother, and he was forced to do this by life, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he made a gesture towards Xiao He and ate it.
I don't know how long this kid has been hungry, although he is tall, his face is yellow and thin. Generally speaking, people who have been hungry for a long time will eat and drink heavily when they have enough food, and they are eager to stuff all the pottery bowls and lacquer cups on the table into their mouths.
But Han Xin ate very reservedly, or very vigilant, and after taking a bite, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao He, obviously a person who couldn't let go, which was very different from the ordinary free and easy light man.
Xiao He waited for him to take a few bites and relieved himself before he said:
"The inchworm bends in order to seek faith; The sting of the dragon and snake to survive also. This sentence is from "Yi Chuan", many officials don't know, why did they say it from the mouth of a Huaiyin cloth cloth? β
Han Xin didn't expect Xiao He to ask such a question.
It seems that he has a meal from Xiao He, and he is no longer a passerby, or Han Xin is unknown in Huaiyin, and no one can understand what he said, and when someone finally asks today, he is quite excited to talk about his past.
Different from the accounts of others, Han Xin claimed that his parents were nobles, and he didn't know if he came from Korea or Huaibei, so Han Xin was taught to read and write since he was a child......
"Soldiers?"
Xiao He asked the old man's name, but Han Xin didn't know, so he understood why he couldn't ask, so he said: "Then let me ask you again, you are in the market, you obviously have a sword in your hand, but you would rather suffer this humiliation than fight back, why?" β
This sentence successfully poked Han Xin's wound, he stopped chewing in his mouth, puffed out his cheeks for a long time, and then swallowed it with difficulty, and said:
"The art of war is cloudy, if it is not profitable, it must not be used, and it is not dangerous and not fighting. The Lord shall not be angry and will not be discouraged and cause war. Move in line with the profit, and stop at the point of not the benefit. Anger can be restored, sorrow can be restored, the dead country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be resurrected. β
"Lord, it will be so, and so will the head of the cloth, Hugh said that I can't beat the butcher's son with my hands, and even if I do kill him, what can I do except for a momentary anger? If I am guilty of private fighting, the murderer will die, and I will either be killed by his father and brother in revenge, or I will be wanted as a murderer, caught by the government, and sentenced to death. β
Fight and fight, walk and go, fight to the death, and pay for his life for such a dog, it is the aspiring Han Xin who is reluctant, so in his judgment, crawling and drilling has become the best choice.
Having said that, a big humiliation is a big humiliation, Han Xin can drill through that person's crotch, but he still can't pass his own level. After leaving the market, I only felt that my mind was blank, and the "chaos in the world" that I had been looking forward to for a long time was delayed, but my life was becoming more and more embarrassing, and I couldn't even stay in my hometown.
He squatted in a daze for half an hour, until Xiao He's subordinates shouted that he had a noble person to dinner, and Han Xin, driven by hunger, followed.
Now that his stomach is full, Han Xin's vigilance is gradually rising, Xiao He in front of him is well-dressed, generous, and there are seven or eight entourages around him to protect him, is he a nobleman? Such a person must have a purpose in treating himself so well!
Chen Ping, a beautiful husband, always thought that the other party wanted to anal him after receiving an unexpected grace. Han Xin was different, he left the table and bowed again:
"The noble man gave me a meal, and Han Xin couldn't repay it, but although I fought with a sword, I didn't kill anyone!"
Xiao He shook his head helplessly, this Han Xin, I'm afraid that I have heard too much of Nie Zheng's story, thinking that Xiao He wants to learn from Yan Zhongzi of South Korea, and the city is kind to him, and he wants Han Xin to help kill people!
"I ...... Don't kill. β
He doesn't kill people, at least not himself.
Xiao He said with a smile: "Listening to what you said, what I learned was not the art of assassination, nor was it ten enemies, but ten thousand enemies." β
However, although Han Signal calls worshipping soldiers as his teacher, and he can blurt out a few words of the art of war from time to time, he can memorize and use it, which are completely different things.
Next, Xiao He asked him some more military skills, but Han Xin replied fluently, at least it was no problem to fool Xiao He, a guy who knew nothing about military training and generals, and the housekeeper of the restaurant looked at this scene in surprise, as if he knew Han Xin for the first time.
After a cursory understanding of Han Xin's skills, Xiao He looked at the sky outside, took out an object from his arms, and put it on the desk, but saw a black ribbon and a bright red copper seal.
The priest's eyes were about to come out, and Han Xin hurriedly bowed.
"I didn't know that the nobleman was a Qin official!"
The black ribbon copper seal is the symbol of officials with more than 600 stones, which is bigger than the Huaiyin County Order!
"I am Xiao He, the commander of Sosu, on the order of the Marquis of Changnan, to go to the south to supervise the military rations, and there is a lack of manpower around me at the moment, Han Xin, since you have the art of war, are you willing to go to the army with me to try?"
He added: "Of course, I started as a pawn and a soldier, but I am a food officer, so I don't have to go to the front line, I am safe, and I can eat well." β
After the nobleman rewarded the meal and the work, he changed the housekeeper, and he definitely wanted to thank him, but Han Xin hesitated, fell on the ground and did not say a word for a long time, and everyone in the restaurant felt that this kid was happy and stupid.
Xiao He was not reluctant, or rather, he didn't particularly care, he stood up and walked past Han Xin, but when he arrived at the restaurant, he left another sentence:
"I'm full, you can continue to eat, think about it after eating, our ship will stop at Nanchang Pavilion, and after half an hour, leave Huaiyin!"
β¦β¦
"Father, you actually want to summon that poor and timid crotch husband to accompany you?"
After Xiao Lu learned what happened in the restaurant, he couldn't figure it out.
"Then Han Xin is guts, incompetent, and powerless, what skills does he have? Is it worth it for my father to be so conscripted? β
Xiao He was far less kind to his son than he was to Han Xin, and said lightly:
"I talked to him a few times, and I knew that he had self-knowledge, extraordinary knowledge, and ambition, and that was enough."
There is a saying in later generations that the so-called heroes of the ancient times will have a festival of excellence. If there is a human affection that cannot be forgiven, the husband sees the humiliation, draws his sword and rises, and stands up to fight, which is not enough to be brave. There are great brave people in the world, who come suddenly without being surprised, and without being angry for no reason. The number of people it holds hostage is great, and its ambitions are far away......
Xiao He's thoughts in his heart are similar, he once met a person who "a big husband can bend and stretch", and he has high hopes for him, but unfortunately, Liu Ji met a nemesis, and now he has been bombarded by Changnan Hou to Haidong to eat snow, and it is completely cold.
Today, if Han Xin rises with a sword and kills the dog, Xiao He is not surprised, there are many light heroes who are not humiliated in the world, but Han Xin chose to admit it for the first time, such cowards can be seen everywhere.
But there are not many people who can explain why they should be timid when they are young.
This was just the first impression, and next, Xiao He also set up several tests for Han Xin.
Asking others about Han Xin's past, although he couldn't eat himself, once the other party showed disgust, he left immediately and no longer stayed, indicating that this person is extremely sensitive to human feelings, good and evil.
After his subordinates found Han Xin, they shouted and came, and explained that they were easy to believe, and they didn't even think that this might be a trap, or they would be humiliated twice, and they would come stupidly, which was really naΓ―ve.
After understanding his character, Xiao He asked a little about Han Xin's old background, this person did have some knowledge and knew some art of war, so Xiao He had the heart of recruitment......
"Father actually thinks that Han Xin is a dusty jade, and wants to be Bian He, who digs jade?"
Xiao Lu understood it, and only felt funny:
"What if he's actually a stone in a latrine?"
Xiao He didn't care much: "Jade has the use of jade, and stone has the use of stone, if you don't even understand this, how can I be a good master back then?" Even if Han Xin is a stinky stone, I only spent the money for a meal, but I can exchange it for his gratitude to Dade. β
In this troubled era, one more favor, one more guarantee, even if he is just a small person, this is Xiao He's way of life for many years. It's a pity that he could have made a profitable investment, but he was ruined by the black man who was killed halfway.
Xiao Lu was still muttering: "But such a villain, will Chang Nanhou like it?" What he wants, but a strong man......"
"Who said I should recommend it to Chang Nan Hou?"
Xiao He glanced at Zhou Chang, who was shouting at everyone and preparing to leave, and whispered to Xiao Lu:
"This Han Shin, I want to stay by my side! He still needs to polish and polish again! β
"Besides, after arriving in the south, my name is the commander of Sosu assigned by the Marquis of Changnan, but in fact, the grain officials under my command are all Tu Sui's cronies and old subordinates, if you want to subdue them, how can there be no available people around you?"
Xiao Lu nodded confusedly, still not understanding his father, and he was about to start the second investment with a discerning eye.
But seeing that the ship was about to leave, Han Xin was in the future for a long time, and Xiao Lu couldn't help but scold: "Then Han Xin won't be like Peixian Fan Xu, afraid of the southern miasma, and run away, right?" β
"He'll come."
Xiao He stood on the side of the ship, not worried at all.
"Suffering this great humiliation, Han Xin can't stay in his hometown anymore, even if I don't invite him, he will leave by himself."
In this era of resettlement, why should people leave their hometowns?
Because I can't stay any longer......
It's also because of ambition......
Although he had only met once and talked a few words, Xiao He had already eaten Han Xin to death!
Sure enough, just when the appointed time was about to expire, Han Xin came, he came from the river, his body was wet, it turned out that he had taken a bath in the river......
Han Xin strode to the dock, facing Xiao He, who was looking down on him on the boat, kneeling down on one knee, and the sword pillar was in front of him!
The young man bowed his head, because of the grace of a meal, because of the conversation and recognition when he was most down, he would be grateful to Xiao He for the rest of his life!
"Xiao Jun, Han Xin is willing to go!"
β¦β¦
As the rope was untied and the paddles were rowed, the boat left the Nanchang Pavilion Wharf and headed for Hangou.
Xiao He didn't show too much concern for Han Xin, just asked people to throw him a set of clean Qin clothes, Han Xin thanked him repeatedly, and silently changed it in a corner, he could feel that except for Xiao He, the other people on the boat, when they swept towards him, their eyes were full of disdain.
The same is true for the people on the shore, the Nanchang Pavilion Chief and the pavilion guards are looking at the ship from afar, and his wife is still pointing at Han Xin on the boat. They would probably be happy that this wandering prodigal son was gone, right? Then he slowly forgot about it, just chatting without words, mentioning the restrained young man, and then saying:
"Han Xin has been in the future for a long time."
Then, the idlers must have chatted with interest about Han Xin's cowardly feat of drilling people's crotches!
Yes, the Huaihe River water that gave birth to Han Xin can wash away the filth on his body, but it can't wash away the heavy shame, Han Xin knows that the humiliation of his crotch may accompany him for the rest of his life.
How can it fade?
The master who taught him the art of war said that Gou Jian had been ashamed of Huiji and tasted dung for Wu Wangfu, and later, he used his work to wash away this humiliation with revenge.
Han Xin is not like Gou Jian, he is not interested in revenge, what he is eager to do is to find a stage to prove himself and create dazzling achievements!
Thinking of this, he suddenly became agitated, and shouted loudly to the people on the shore.
"Nanchang Pavilion Chief!"
"Your family's kindness, Han Xin will pay it back!"
Those people can't hear it, Han Xin doesn't know, and he doesn't care, he shouts it to himself.
"I'll be back......"
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!
"In the coming day, I will return home rich and rich!"
The boat disappeared downstream, the wanderer was already far away, and at the Nanchang Pavilion Wharf, the pavilion chief's wife spat in the water, which was extremely disdainful.
"What kind of meal, Han Xin's meal in my house for nothing, at least two hundred meals!"
β¦β¦
In the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang, when Xiao He coerced Han Xin to go to Yuzhang, Hou Heifu of Changnan had also arrived in Anlu County, Nanjun......
