The first appearance was Sun Bin, a famous strategist and strategist in the Warring States Period. In the early days, Sun Bin and Pang Juan studied under the hermit Guiguzi. Compared with Sun Bin's hard work, Pang Juan yearned for the rich and luxurious life at the foot of the mountain, so he quickly went down to Wei and became a general of Wei.
When he became a general, Pang Juan thought of his classmate Sun Bin, whose military strategy was much higher than his own. In order to keep his position, he tricked Sun Bin into Wei, kept him under strict control, and framed him, so that his legs and knees were cut off and he could not walk from now on. Just when Pang Juan wanted to murder Sun Bin's life, it happened that the envoys of Qi visited and smuggled Sun Bin away.
After Sun Bin arrived in Qi, he quickly developed his talents. First of all, he became famous through the "Tian Ji Horse Racing" incident. He also used the plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" to save Zhao from the quagmire; In the end, when he rescued South Korea attacked by Wei, he successfully shot and killed Pang Juan and got revenge. He wrote the famous Art of War by Sun Tzu.
The second is Han Xin, a famous soldier in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. At the mention of this name, everyone will immediately think of an idiom "the humiliation of legs", which happened before Han Xin made his fortune. Han Xin lived in the street in his early years. Although he often likes to wear a sword, he doesn't actually use it, so he is often satirized by his neighbors.
One day, a butcher stopped Han Xin in the street and told him, "Although you are tall and often carry a sword, you are actually a coward. If you are not afraid of death, stab me with your sword; If you are afraid that you don't want to be killed by me, climb under my crotch. " Hearing this, Han Xin climbed over the butcher's leg, and they all laughed at him.
But it was for this reason that Han Xin made up his mind to make a fortune and eventually became a general who opened up territory for the Han Dynasty. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin returned home dressed in rags and killed the butcher who had insulted him.
The third place is Gou Jian, one of the famous five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. In 496 BC, He Lv, one of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, was beheaded by Gou Jian, the newly enthroned king of Yue, and died of serious injuries. Before he died, he said to his son Fu Cha, You must avenge me and fight for Yue.
When Gou Jian learned that the State of Wu was going to attack Yue, he was prepared to strike first, regardless of dissuasion. Indeed, he was defeated. Mr. and Mrs. Gou Jian became servants of Fu Cha and were arranged to be humiliated at He Lv's grave. In order to reduce Fu Cha's vigilance, Gou Jian did not dare to resist, and finally succeeded in paralyzing Fu Cha and was released back to China.
When Gou Jian returned to Yue, he dared not forget the humiliation he suffered in Wu, so he hung a gallbladder on the bed and licked it every day to remind himself of this bitter taste. In 476 BC, Gou Jian completed the great cause of destroying Wu and endured humiliation for ten years.
