Chapter 28: Depressed

There is a saying that the world is chaotic and thinks of good generals, and the poor family misses good wives.

Although Liu Bang's fierce generals are like clouds, Cao Shen, Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, Guan Ying, etc., these people are powerful, but even if they are put together, they are not Xiang Yu's opponents. Compared with kung fu, brute force, and bravery, at that time, no one could compare to Xiang Yu.

The only possibility, outwitting.

Liu Bang needs a wise general.

God, please give me Liu Laosan an an excellent commander. Liu Bang prayed every day.

Zhang Liang has excellent wisdom, he is a weak scholar, he went to the battlefield, he can't be neat with a bare head, and he has to rely on his hands and feet to survive. Moreover, Zhang Liang is a strategist and politician, if he is asked to command the army, it is difficult for him, the so-called art industry has a specialization, the first strategist of the Han army, before taking Han Wangcheng to attack the homeland of Korea, there is not much success, it can be seen that he is not an outstanding commander.

He is a strategist and is good at strategizing, although the art of war and strategy also have a certain level, but because of the appearance of Han Xin, he can completely ignore how to use troops to fight, and make strategic suggestions with peace of mind.

It is not that the military advisor cannot command the army, and Zhang Liang's own image is also a reason that restricts him from leading troops.

Sima Qian once said that he thought that Zhang Liang was just an ordinary Confucian student, but when he saw Zhang Liang's portrait, he was surprised, Zhang Liang actually looked like a white jade, red lips and white teeth, and a thin body.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Gao Su, the king of Lanling in Northern Qi, had a soft appearance, and was recorded as a "white beautiful woman" in history. It's a good thing to look good, and it's okay to be an idol by participating in some talent shows such as the Good Boys of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in peacetime. But in the war years, the prince and the prince had to lead troops to fight, and his handsome appearance brought him endless distress, and the enemy generals often deliberately grinned at him and laughed at his wives when they were fighting. In desperation, he ordered someone to make a hideous mask, which he wore every time he went into battle.

A general, standing in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, if you are weak, can the soldiers believe you? When you go out on the battlefield, when you go to the battlefield, you always have to shout a few slogans, and the voice that shouts out is soft and soft, like a little girl, can the soldiers give you their lives? I'm afraid that my subordinates will feel ashamed to have such a general.

As soon as the outstanding general puts on his armor and stands there, without saying a word, the blood of the soldiers below will boil.

To put it simply, it's heroism!

Stripping away the so-called external factors such as time, location, grain and grass, political environment, and the purpose of war, in order to win a victory, in addition to being brave, we must also have courage.

Courage means courage and fearlessness, and if the two armies shake their legs or even pee their pants, it will be more auspicious than lucky; Qi includes morale, murderous spirit, and momentum. To put it bluntly, a group of people are slashing each other, no one wants to die for no reason, how can you fight with others if you don't have murderous spirit, how can you kill people? The morale is not high, the spirit is not high and the spirit is not concentrated, how can the sick survive?

How can a general without momentum bring out an imposing army?

The reason why Xiang Yu won all battles was that his heroism could inspire the brave fighting spirit of the Chu army.

With such an army, how can you fight with others?

If you can't fight, you can only outwit.

Therefore, for the Han army, what is most needed is a general with murderous spirit and extraordinary wisdom.

Cao Fan, Zhou Xia and other generals have murderous energy, but they don't have that kind of intelligence.

He is the embodiment of both heroism and wisdom, courage and strategy. He once drilled into the crotch of other people's trousers, was hated by everyone, received charity from others, he made progress in wandering, he matured in suffering, he lost his father when he was young, he was neither farmer nor businessman, he was extremely poor, he was unable to support him when he was in high school, and his mother died in poverty and illness.

He did not sink, he would study the art of war when he was hungry and his stomach hurt, he walked the world with his sword, but he never drew his sword out of its sheath, he was patient, he was waiting, he was suffering.

The poem says, there is poetry and writing in the belly. He continued to sublimate in the midst of poverty.

Han Xin, the world's most prominent great military strategist, tactician and military theorist of the third century BC. He was called the soldier fairy and the god of war by later generations.

Han Xin, a native of Huaiyin (now Huaiyin District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province), whose parents died, did not like to work and liked to eat. I have some friendship with the Nanchang Pavilion Chief, I often go to his house to rub rice when I am hungry, I rub it too much, the Pavilion Chief's wife is very unhappy, one day the Pavilion Chief's house finished eating early, Han Xin arrived on time, I waited for a long time and did not see the Pavilion Chief's house have a move to eat, I was muttering, the Pavilion Chief's wife rolled his eyes at him, Han Xin was smart after all, and understood the deep meaning, so he never went to his house to eat (or a little self-esteem). He ran to the city of Huaiyin and began to fish, sometimes he caught a few and could sell them for some money, sometimes he couldn't catch them, so he could only go hungry. On the bank of the Huaiyin River, there are many old women who wash clothes there, and can often see Han Xin, one and two, everyone knows Han Xin, among them, there is a drifting mother, seeing Han Xin is strange and pitiful, he will always share his meals with Han Xin, Han Xin is very grateful to her, and often says to the drifting mother: "Thank you for your love, he will be prosperous every day, and I will thank you heavily." ”

The drifting mother was a little unhappy: "You are a big man, but you can't make a living, I don't expect you to report anything on me in the future!" But I think you're pitiful and pitiful because I look like you're noble! ”

I believe that Han Xin remembered the words of the drifting mother for a lifetime.

Don't underestimate those meals, as the saying goes, a full man doesn't know a hungry man. We need to eat and dress well, and in those precarious years, it is a luxury to have a full meal.

Han Xin remembered the great kindness of the drifting mother.

Han Xin had a portable sword hanging from his waist, and he was wandering around in his spare time, and his majesty was very majestic, but it also caused him trouble.

A butcher in Huaiyin City, seeing that Han Xin was unpleasant, thought: A poor ghost, so arrogant, I have to treat him. So he stopped Han Xin, who was showing off on the street, and said with a fierce face: "Han Xin, you kid always swing with this sword, what are you pretending?" Do you still take us people seriously? I think you're a coward! ”

This sentence attracted a lot of people on the street to watch the excitement. Han Xin ignored him. The butcher pointed to the bridge of his nose, then spread his legs apart and said, "If you dare to die, stab me, if you don't dare, you will get through my crotch!" ”

Seeing the excitement to see, the people on the street stopped one after another, and several thugs on the street followed suit.

"Han Xin, coward!" "Han Xin, it's not planted! Death is called Hanako. What's in it? "Drill, drill!"

Everyone was waiting to see a good show.

Seeing the butcher's contemptuous face, Han Xin frowned, didn't say anything, slowly bent down and knelt down to get through the butcher's crotch, got up again, patted the dust, and looked calm. There was a burst of laughter, and the streets were filled with laughter and invective.

"Grandson Turtle, it's just a dog that hasn't been planted!" The butcher looked at Han Xin's back and scolded.

It was such a cowardly act, such a humiliating act, and with Han Xin's unremitting efforts, it turned into a beautiful talk in history. Why is a famous person who can lead thousands of troops and horses in the future and conquer all battles willing to drill people's crotch? You know, Han Xin still has a sword in his hand. In this regard, Han Xin also has his own explanation, "When Fang insults me, I would rather not kill the evil?" There is no name to kill, so endure it here. ”

Forbearance is just one word, and he only does it once.

There is a lyric that reads: Exercise the muscles and bones on the outside, and practice a breath on the inside.

Han Xin: He is refining his heart.

As a great commander, it is not only the outside that is honed, but also the heart, and the inner strength is really strong.

Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew revolted and crossed the Huaishui. He defected to Xiang Liang and became a small soldier. Xiang Liang was defeated and died, and he followed Xiang Yu again, and Xiang Yu made him a deacon. He has offered advice to Xiang Yu many times, but Xiang Yu's reply is very simple and will not be adopted.

Xiang Yu doesn't like to engage in intrigues, in his eyes, instead of wasting time on brain-wrenching, it is better to exercise more muscles.

Over time, Han Xin became more and more chilled.

Although Xiang Yu ignored him, Ya Father noticed him. His advice to Xiang Yu was: either use him, or kill him if you don't use him, so as not to be used by others.

Fan Zeng is in his seventies, but his heart is ruthless.

Xiang Yu's reply was also very refreshing: Father, you are too worried, what kind of storm can a small halberd man set off?

Fan Zeng could only let out a long sigh, and never mentioned it again.

Han Xin's head is saved, but his future cannot be saved, if he mixes with the Chu army and can't get Xiang Yu's appreciation, what future can he have! During these days in the Chu army, although Han Xin was unknown, he followed Xiang Yu through several major battles. He was lonely, but fulfilled.

A great commander must endure loneliness and perfect himself in theory and practice.

Han Shin is not a person who can rest on his laurels.

He had dreams, a million heroes in his chest, and he would rather die if he didn't use them on the battlefield. At this time, Xiang Yu came back from Xianyang, and after the sealing was completed, the soldiers of the world rested. Liu Bang, the king of Han, was forced to enter Shu, and Han Xin had long heard that the king of Han was generous, benevolent, and attached importance to talents, so he left the Chu army and entered Shu with the Han army.

At this time, Liu Bang had a belly full of fire, how could he have the heart to investigate talents, and there were many soldiers who fled along the way, and there were many people who followed, and the military camp was like a vegetable market, in and out. Therefore, Han Xinlai defected, but he did not attract attention, and he only got the official position of Lian Ao (Chu official name, similar to Sima in the army).

Lian Ao didn't do it for long, Han Xin accumulated a stomach full of complaints and had nowhere to vent, drinking with thirteen colleagues a day, a few glasses of wine in his stomach, as soon as the alcohol got into his brain, his mouth couldn't control it: what Chu Overlord is a fart, Han Wang is a fart, what they are worthy of lifting my shoes Yunyun...

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the complaints of Han Xin and others reached the ears of the Han King. Originally, the Han army was unstable, and the soldiers thought about returning, but Han Xin said wildly, and he should be killed. During the special period, Liu Bang ordered these people to be executed.

If it's normal, it's nothing, who doesn't know how to drink, who drinks and drinks high is not nonsense, I think back then, when Liu Bang was drunk, I don't know how many people he cursed!

Brothers, don't blame me, borrow your heads. Liu Bang is very helpless, now people's hearts are fluctuating, and he can only make an example.

Han Xin and the thirteen sergeants who drank together were escorted to the execution ground, and Xiahou was beheaded.

There was silence on the execution ground.

Xiahou Ying gave an order, and the executioner raised the knife in his hand, and several heads had already landed. When it was Han Xin's turn, the executioner took a bowl of deadly wine and made a few standard gestures, and just when he was about to go down, Han Xin suddenly shouted: "If you don't want to go up, the world cares?" What is a strong man! ”

The originally quiet execution ground was shaken by the voice of this death row inmate.

Everyone was shocked, especially the three words "on the world", the effect is particularly obvious, when it comes to people's hearts, a death row prisoner shouted before he died that he didn't knock down Liu Bang, not to turn into a ghost to find someone or something like that, but to send out the emotion of "on the world", can people not take a second look?

Xiahou Ying glanced at him more, and it was this glance that saved the Han Dynasty.

He hastened to order the executioner and so on.

Han believed that there was salvation.

Oh, Han Xin, what are you doing, why didn't you say this earlier? Make everyone be careful and their livers are fluttering! (Voiceover)

Oh, I'm playing with Han Shin in a heartbeat. Han Xin's eyes showed the joy of being in a desperate situation.

Xiahou Ying felt that this prisoner was very special, so he stepped forward to ask the strong man what his last words were, but he didn't expect Han Xin to say not his last words, but a strategy to fight for the world, although Xiahou Ying heard it in a fog, but his intuition told him that this young man was not simple, he knew that Han Wang was employing people, so he left Han Xin's life.

Xiahou Ying returned to the King of Han with excitement: King Han! King Han! I found a wizard.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bang, who was a good candidate in the past, gave him a surprising reply: Oh, I know.

Xiahou Ying was stunned: Why is King Han so cold.

King, he's a genius. Xiahou Ying continued.

Liu Bang glanced at him lazily, and replied strangely: Okay, then upgrade him to one level. Go down, I'm tired!

Liu Bang was really in a bad mood and couldn't keep his spirits up.

Although Xiahou Ying is strange, it is not good to say anything, since he has already promoted Han Xinguan to a level, it is interesting enough, let's observe for a while before talking. Han Xin escaped the clutches of death and became the governor of Su Du (the official in charge of grain).

Therefore, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot.

Of course, Han Xin is not very satisfied with this official, and managing food is not his forte.

Anyway, the head is still there, and he has been promoted to an official. Let's do it first! Han comforted himself confidently.

The official Zhisu Duwei actually has no future, but fortunately Han Xin met his boss, Xiao He. Food belongs to logistics work, Xiao He is the prime minister in charge of logistics, Han Xin naturally became Xiao He's direct subordinate, everyone has worked together for a long time, and they will naturally brag together, string doors, and bubble baths.

In addition to Xiao He's carefulness, he also has a skill: knowing people.

With a channel of communication, after a period of time, it is inevitable that the brothers will be called brothers and brothers, and after a long period of contact, Xiao He finally confirmed: Han Xin, the countryman is unequaled. He is a unique talent in the world, a talent who can surprise the situation, and a talent who can help King Han dominate the world.

A man who had never led troops to war met another man who had never led troops to war, and after knowing him for a while, he was decided to be the best choice for a general. It takes a lot of courage and a lot of old eyes. If you look away, Xiao He will have to capsize in the gutter for the rest of his life. This is not something that ordinary people can have.

Xiao He promised Han Xin to sponsor him as a general, and Han Xin was very happy and full of expectations.

But as the days passed, there was no news. Han Shin began to be disappointed again, and the long-term disappointment turned into despair.

Xiao He is not a person who speaks, he is still thinking about it, and he is also looking for an opportunity to recommend. After all, you are also taking a huge risk yourself. Han Xin finally lost patience after waiting for a long time: Prime Minister Xiao, thank you for your kindness, I know that King Han doesn't look down on me. I'd better go. I can't be trapped here, I'm going to find my ideals, to find someone who really appreciates me.

Yes, you can't wait, and there's no need to wait.

There is no master at the end of the world, why stay in the Han Wang's house.

After making up his mind, Han Xin packed up his soft clothes, handed over the official seal, did not say goodbye to Xiao He, and took advantage of the night to ride his horse and escape from the Han army camp. At this time, many soldiers also fled from Bashu in groups of three or five.

Bashu is too desolate and not a place for people to stay, so it's no wonder that Liu Bang is depressed.

Han Xin was discovered soon after he slipped away, so he reported to Xiao He, Xiao He was shocked, quickly put down everything at hand, and quickly chased after Han Xin.
