The Xiang Liang Uprising had a great impact on the entire southeast. Therefore, in Huaiyin City, people naturally do not take the government seriously, so more and more private weapons are made. Since Han Xin left Piao Mu, he listened to her and found ways to make money to support himself. Not only that, he also searched for ancient books everywhere, especially various military art books. He also used the money he earned to build himself a sword and named it 'Ya Wu Gou'. Han Xinxin thought that after Chen Sheng's uprising, heroes would surely rise in the world, so he was always ready to wear a sword. This was called "worthy of the name." But he was a foreigner. If he walked around the busy city with a sword on his back all day, he would naturally attract people's attention, so some young and energetic teenagers would not let him go.
In Huaiyin City, the singing houses, dance halls, teahouses and restaurants all over the place are now becoming lively. There are also those beautiful and passionate Huaiyin women walking freely among the crowds, and some distant businessmen are also in the market. Freely discussing goods and prices, small merchants and vendors also gathered together to start business with the haggling buyers. The Dashizi in the center of the city is even more lively. This is the commercial center of Huaiyin City. There are a large number of merchants gathered in the market, both local and foreign merchants. They sell fabrics and satins, water jars and pots, straw sandals and straw hats, clay figurines and paper-cuts, jade and bronze tripods, etc. In short, there are all kinds of goods, and there is a dazzling array of everything. The people in Huaiyin City have gotten rid of the high-pressure rule of the Qin State. They have returned to the Chu State era more than ten years ago, and business operations have naturally returned to freedom. You see, there is a butcher's shop not far from Cross East Street. The owner of the shop is a butcher. He has made a lot of money with his ability to kill pigs. One look at his enthusiasm, and you can tell that his business is very good. Today he is instructing several young men to skillfully chop bones, cut fat, and divide meat for buyers, and he himself is very busy. . His shop is relatively large, with dozens of windows facing the street. There is a long meat table under the windows, with dozens of strips of fresh and tender pork hanging above it, making it look prosperous.
Not far from the shop, a young man in ragged clothes huddled up. He was the poor and depressed Comrade Han Xin. He ran a small business. In front of him were some large and small mats, cushions, straw shoes and straw hats woven from reeds. Such things as these, which were already very cheap, did not attract many shoppers, so Han Xin was also very leisurely, which was completely different from the business of the butcher shop. But this is what Han Xin needs to support himself, because he has great ambitions, he has more important things to do, and he has lofty ideals. Although he was sitting there setting up a stall, he was studying hard, and he was reading very seriously. "Boy! What book are you reading?" Suddenly a rough and hoarse voice came. Han Xin was startled. He looked up and saw that it was the butcher who opened the butcher shop. Han Xinxin thought that this guy relied on his ability to kill pigs and often bullied the market. Why did he suddenly ask me about it today? Who wants to mess with him? Everyone was doing their own business, so they reluctantly lowered their heads and continued reading. When the butcher saw that Han Xin was not paying attention to him, he felt very unhappy and said loudly: "Hey! Boy, are you deaf?"
Han Xin was very angry when he heard his rude words, so he reluctantly replied: "It's a book on war." When the butcher heard that it was a book on war, he became more curious and asked who wrote the book on war. Han Xin said: "It's a book of war written by Sima Ranju." The butcher shouted: "What? What? Die... Ma Zunju? What the hell is he? Can he also write a book of war? You call him here and have a sword show with me first. If the 'Dead Horse' defeats me, I will also read his book!" Han Xin said: "You are mistaken, this Sima Ranju is not a contemporary, he was a minister of Qi Jinggong in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can I call him Come?" The people around him cheered. The butcher couldn't stand it now, so he turned red and pointed at Han Xin: "You bastard! Since you can't call the dead... horse, then you want to compete with me? Don't hold a broken sword." Sitting there to bluff people?" Han Xin heard the butcher provoking him and sat motionless. The butcher saw that Han Xin was timid, so he boldly said: "Do you, a pauper selling straw mats, deserve to carry a sword? I think that sword is a pity!" After that, he continued to insult Han Xin. When Han Xin saw the butcher humiliating him endlessly, he was furious. He thought it was a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that could not be avoided. He stood up quickly, walked to the middle of the street, and confronted the butcher.
At this time, a boy in the butcher's shop saw that the owner was about to fight with someone, so he picked up a butcher's knife from the butcher's table, ran over quickly and handed it to the owner. The butcher looked at the knife but did not take it, so he pretended to be the boss, stared at Han Xin and continued to provoke: "Stab me if you dare!" Han Xin was holding the sheath in one hand and preparing to draw the sword with the other, his eyes like a torch. When the butcher saw that Han Xin was really going to risk his life, he straightened his back and watched to see if Han Xin dared to stab him. At this time, when the people around saw the two men like this, they gathered around to watch the excitement. Some people shouted and made a fuss unscrupulously, hoping that Han Xin would rush over to see if the butcher could hide. But Han Xin and the butcher faced off for a long time, but in the end they still didn't take action.
At this time, the butcher saw that Han Xin did not have the courage to challenge him, so he yelled: "Although you look like a warrior, you are actually a coward!" Han Xin heard the other party's provocation, but remained silent. In order to prove his strength to others, the butcher became more courageous and shouted again at the top of his voice: "Come and stab me if you dare!" Han Xin remained motionless. But the butcher was in a position of power and shouted again: "Why don't you stab me with your sword? You're a coward!" Han Xin still stood still. The butcher became even more presumptuous, and made a request that ordinary people could not accept. He spread his legs, pointed at the middle of his legs, and said to Han Xin: "If you don't want to stab me, just get through here!" Han Xin heard This unreasonable request simply made me furious and my eyes were split open. At this time, among the crowd of onlookers, those who sympathized with Han Xin all said to the butcher: "You are so bullying. What do you mean? Why don't you join the army if you have the ability? Why don't you kill the Qin people?" Some people were still looking for it. The people who were irritated shouted excitedly: "Han Xin, stab him with your sword! Hurry up and stab him! He has insulted you like this!" When everyone saw that Han Xin was still standing still, they laughed and said, "If you don't stab him, just stab him!" Drill in, drill in quickly, drill in, hahaha!" Han Xin stared at the other party angrily for a long time, then slowly walked over.
When the people around saw Han Xin walking in front of the butcher, they didn't know whether he was going to dig in or fight for his life, so they all looked at Han Xin nervously. At this time, the butcher also became nervous. He was worried that Han Xin would launch a sudden attack, so he watched the opponent closely, ready to deal with possible consequences at any time. But at this moment, Han Xin suddenly calmed down and slowly crawled towards the butcher's crotch. The surrounding area suddenly burst into laughter, ridicule, abuse, and obscenities. The onlookers seemed to have drunk chicken blood and were very excited. They also wished they could take a dive themselves. At this time, Han Xin had already bent down, his knees on the ground, and climbed up to the butcher on his hands and knees. The butcher lowered his head and stared at Han Xin closely. He was very worried that Han Xin would suddenly stand up and knock him to the ground. But despite being worried, Han Xin had no intention of resisting, and instead crawled under his crotch like a dog. This farce ended with the Butcher stealing the show and Han Xin being swept away. From then on, people all over the streets in Huaiyin City were laughing at Han Xin, saying that he was a coward, a coward, a coward, a coward... In short, Han Xin became everyone's laughing stock and became a news topic after dinner. Everyone also gave Han Xin a nickname, "crotch husband", also called "crotch boy". In today's terms, it is "the guy who drills the crotch". In the following period, Han Xin never appeared in public again.
Since Han Xin suffered the "crotch humiliation", his spirit has been greatly stimulated. He cried and cried alone in a place where no one was around. He felt sad, painful, ashamed, and ashamed. He cried for several days and nights, and suddenly one night between grown up. He learned from the painful experience and slowly calmed down. Han Xinxin wants to be humiliated, which may be an insurmountable hurdle for an ordinary person, but for people with great ambitions, it is just a way to enlightenment. He will use this as motivation to move forward and work hard from now on. Through this incident, he also began to realize the coldness, selfishness and ruthlessness of human nature. There is no essential difference between this and animals. You see, those strong animals suddenly want to eat weak animals when they see them. The same is true for people. Those who are of low quality and have no moral sense of right and wrong rely on their own huge bodies to magnify the interests infinitely. Once they see someone who is in a lower status than themselves or a group that is more vulnerable than themselves, they will I want to conquer them and give them some color. My arrogance is simply indescribable. This is common in people's real life. But once they encounter an opponent who has a higher status than themselves or is a powerful opponent, they want to turn themselves into a little donkey for the opponent to ride, and they also want to use their tongues to fuck the opponent's stinky feet to show absolute loyalty or obedience. Those who are kind are villains, or snobs. It is said that they were reincarnated by wolves and dogs in their previous life. They have both the ferocity of wolves and the servility of dogs. But those gentlemen with self-cultivation and magnanimity are not like this. They never bully the weak, and they always protect the weak. For example, those heroic warriors, if they encounter those people or groups who rely on the strong to bully the weak, they will draw their swords to help them when they encounter injustice. There are also those heroes, their spirit is even more praiseworthy. For the benefit of a certain group, ethnic group, or country, once they are called by the times, or when they are asked to appear, they will stand up resolutely and decisively to face the situation. In the face of dangers and difficulties, they even sacrificed their own lives to help the strong and the weak, uphold justice and save the masses, thus making great achievements for mankind and becoming famous throughout the ages. Han Xin has read a lot of books and knows a lot, so he no longer sinks. He wants to cheer up and use "crotch humiliation" as motivation. He dismisses other people's jokes and puts them aside, so he vows to have something. What he did made him stand out, so he took the time to study hard, day and night, tirelessly, and he wanted to change his destiny. Of course, he also deeply understands the principle of "a small impatience will mess up a big plan". Although he hated the butcher for humiliating him in public and causing him to lose face, what was the loss to him? Don’t you lose any meat? If he had actually raised his sword to kill him, even if he hadn't stabbed him to death, if he had stabbed him and the government still came to arrest him, would the butcher's friends still have let him go? So we must not get burned over this meaningless thing! A person who wants to do big things cannot take risks and risk his own life just because of some small grudges. That is a very stupid and irrational behavior. Therefore, in life, people encounter some bad people and bad people. When it comes to things, you have to be patient and give in.
When Han Xin thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He thoughtfully thought of a very profound truth: If I suddenly attacked his crotch that day when I drilled his crotch, he would definitely be in unbearable pain, and then I could take the opportunity to kill him. Got him. Because when I drilled his crotch, his legs were shaking. Although people from a distance couldn't see this, I felt it. According to my judgment, he must have been very nervous at the time, otherwise why would he be shaking? After I got through, I took another peek at the guy. There was a large stain of sweat on his back. Does this better indicate how nervous he was at that time? The Art of War says, 'Attack the enemy unprepared and take him by surprise. 'The same goes for fighting with soldiers. When you can't defeat a strong opponent, you should show weakness. Just like when I got into his crotch, the opponent will definitely think that I am weak and will become careless. At this time, you should look at the opponent's vital points, and then strike hard, and the opponent or enemy may fall down. If this experience and lesson is used in the art of war, it may be possible to achieve extraordinary feats. This will be the profound lesson I learned from this incident.
When Han Xin thought of this, he mentally defeated the butcher and himself. This is called "A fool will gain something after all his worries." 'But this time it's not a war with soldiers, it's purely a personal grudge. Even if I kill that guy, it doesn't mean anything? Forget him, forget this matter, I want to achieve great fame and I cannot let him delay my lifelong fame and wealth. I, Han Xin, must not give up on myself because of a little person, nor should I ruin my future for an insignificant person? I have a mission, a great mission entrusted to me by God. Talents like Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, and Pang Juan are my role models and role models for me to learn from. I have more important things to do. A real man should not get entangled or brood over a small thing...
