Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Playing with Thick Skin

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many heroes fighting for hegemony, and there were not many famous people in the world. Only Cao Cao was able to stand out because he had a thicker skin than anyone else.And what can best show Cao Cao's thick skin is Cao Cao's "Three Smiles" after the bloody battle in Chibi. The three laughs of Cao Cao happened when Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi and left in the wilderness. He was like a bereaved dog, and his life was still in danger.Anyone who fell into this situation would feel ashamed and shameless, but Cao Cao didn't feel this way at all. Instead, he laughed three times in a row, which actually attracted three ambush soldiers.

Cao Cao's first smile was that of Yiling: Cao had to look at Yiling and leave.I bumped into Zhang He on the road, and the order was broken.Riding on the horse and whipping, walked to the fifth watch, looked back at the flames fading away, worried and decided, and asked: "Where is this?" The left and right said: "This is the west of Wulin, the north of Yidu." Cao saw the trees There are many clusters and steep mountains and rivers, but Yu immediately looked up and laughed.The generals asked, "Why is the Prime Minister laughing so much?" Cao Cao said, "I don't laugh at others. I only laugh at Zhou Yu for his lack of strategy and Zhuge Liang's lack of wisdom. What if I lay down an army here beforehand when I use troops? What can I do?" Before the words were finished, the drums on both sides vibrated, and the flames shot up from the sky, so shocked that Cao Cao almost fell off his horse.A Biao army rushed out from the stab, shouting: "I, Zhao Zilong, have been waiting here for a long time under the order of the general!"

Yiling's laughter provoked Zhao Zilong from Changshan, Cao Cao didn't care, fled to Hulukou, and laughed a second time: When they reached the mouth of the gourd, the army was hungry and starved, unable to walk, and the horses were tired, and many fell on the road... Sitting under the sparse forest, he looked up and laughed.The officials asked, "Prime Minister Shilai laughed at Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, provoked Zhao Zilong, and defeated many troops. Why are you laughing now?" Cao Cao said, "I laughed at Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu after all because they were not wise enough. If I used soldiers, Just in this place, I am going to ambush a big army and horse, and wait for work. Even if we escape our lives, we will be seriously injured. If you don’t see this, I will laugh at it.” While talking, the front and rear soldiers shouted together, fuck Shocked, he abandoned his armor and mounted his horse.There are many armies who are not as good as the horse collectors.Seeing the fire and smoke everywhere, the Shankou army spread out. The leader was Zhang Yide from Yan, who immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Where are you going, the thief!"

After encountering Zhao Zilong and Zhang Fei one after another, Cao Cao should have learned his lesson, right?But Cao Cao's thick skin is immune to other people's ridicule and ridicule, and he doesn't feel the slightest.So Cao Cao Huarong laughed for the third time, which attracted Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang: He couldn't travel for a few miles, so he swung his whip and laughed.The generals asked, "Prime Minister, why are you laughing again?" Cao Cao said, "People say that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are resourceful and resourceful, but from my point of view, they are incompetent people. If you put a brigade of teachers here, we will all be handcuffed. bound."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of gunfire, and five hundred school swordsmen on both sides opened their hands. The leader, Guan Yunchang, raised the green dragon sword, straddled the red rabbit horse, and blocked the way.When Cao Jun saw him, he was frightened and looked at each other in blank dismay. We can see that Cao Cao smiled three times, showing a kind of cheekiness that ordinary people cannot match. This kind of person regards life and death as child's play. Just laugh it off. Thick skin is invincible.Because thick-skinned people are separated from normal feelings in the world, and the matter of Wang Lang and Meng Xizi's life and death can fall on thick-skinned people, just like flies on the buttocks of elephants, there will never be any Feel.

You can't touch him with normal human emotion, you can't catch his weakness, you can't make him expose his inner vulnerability, and you can't beat him.Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty who created the foundation of the Western Han Dynasty, was such a person, so even Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty who was able to lift mountains and lift a tripod, could only be helpless when he encountered him: Peng Yue went back and forth to Liang several times, cutting off the food of the Chu army, and King Xiang was deeply worried about this.He made a high-legged chopping board, put the grandfather of the King of Han on it, and declared to the King of Han, "If you don't surrender quickly, I will boil the grandfather to death." According to King Huai's order, he once said, 'Meet and become brothers', in this way, my Lao Tzu is also your Lao Tzu, if you must cook your Lao Tzu, I hope you can give me a cup of broth."

This is "Historical Records?A section of records in Gaozu Benji.Here it is said that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was cut off by the hero Peng Yue, and it was difficult to fight for a long time. He took Liu Bang's father Liu Taigong as a hostage and threatened him: If Liu Bang didn't surrender immediately, he would kill Liu Taigong.But never expected that Liu Bang didn't take his father's life seriously at all, and said nonchalantly: "Kill, kill, kill my father, please give me a cup of broth..." On the contrary Xiang Yu was helpless. This kind of psychological quality is really scary when you think about it.And Liu Bang's psychological quality is so strong that it has reached its peak.Not only does this person have no feelings for his father and wife, but he also has indifferent feelings for his children, as if they were abandoned:

On the road, the king of Han met Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan, so he took them into his chariot and fled west together.The cavalry of the Chu army chased the king of Han. The king of Han felt that the situation was critical, so he pushed Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan off the chariot. Tenggong Xia Houying got off the chariot every time and helped them back into the chariot. Second-rate…… This paragraph is also from "Historical Records?"The Benji of Gaozu", it is written that Liu Bang met his own son and daughter on the way to flee for his life, and let the children get in the car to escape together, but when the pursuers caught up, he pushed his own son and daughter out of the car Go... as the old saying goes: the poison of a tiger does not eat its child.The cruelest and most ferocious animal in the world is the tiger, but even the tiger has a kind and compassionate side when it treats its own cubs.

As stated in the theory of good nature, the love for fathers, wives and children is an innate instinct of human beings, and it is a common nature shared by all creatures in nature. However, Liu Bang has lost even this lowest animal instinct. Analysis The success of this person has solved the mystery of the "thick skin" of human beings for us.
