Legend has it that Cao Cao couldn't find water along the way in a March, and the soldiers were tired and thirsty, and the marching speed was very slow. In order not to affect the marching speed and delay the fighters.

Cao Cao made a plan according to his own will, and ordered the left and right to tell him that there was a large piece of Meilin on the way forward, so that the soldiers could go there to pick plums to quench their thirst. The soldiers heard that there were plums in front of them, and their mouths and throats were full of saliva, which greatly boosted their morale and greatly improved their marching speed. The soldiers met the enemy in their advance, and in order to quench their thirst with plums early, they all struggled hard and defeated the enemy.

Of course, the soldiers didn't eat plums, but they found water. This is the famous story of looking at plums to quench thirst in history.

2. The story of Napoleon

Napoleon once fought against the enemy and met with stubborn resistance, and his team suffered heavy losses. The situation is very dangerous. Napoleon also fell into the mire because of carelessness, covered in mud and embarrassed.

But at this time, Napoleon ignored this and had only one belief in his heart, that is, to win the battle anyway. I only heard him shout "Go!"

His soldiers couldn't help laughing when they saw his funny appearance, but they were also encouraged by Napoleon's optimism and self-confidence. At that time, the soldiers were full of passion and bravely took the lead, and finally won the final victory of the battle. No matter in any critical predicament, we should keep an optimistic and positive attitude and turn the corner.

3. Han Yu's story

Han Yu offended the court by writing Pinghuai Xibei, and dismissed him as the secretariat of Chaozhou.

When Han Yu arrived in Chaozhou, he called the officials of Chaozhou Prefecture and asked what the sufferings of the local people were. Some people say: "The output here is small, and the people live a hard life. There is also a crocodile in the evil stream in the east of the city (now Hanjiang, Guangdong), which often goes ashore to hurt livestock. The people are really miserable. " Han Yu said, "In that case, we have to try to get rid of it."

Having said that, Han Yu is a scholar. He can't shoot arrows with a knife. How can he get rid of the crocodile? Later, he wrote an article "Sacrificing Crocodiles", specially sent people to the river to read this eulogy, and asked people to kill a pig and a sheep and throw them into the river to feed crocodiles. In that eulogy, he ordered crocodiles to move into the sea within seven days, otherwise he would shoot all crocodiles with a strong bow and poisonous arrows.

It is said that the crocodile in the big pool really never appeared again. Now people call the place where Han Yu offered sacrifices to crocodiles "Hanpu", the ferry is called "Handu" and "Crocodile Crossing", the great river is called "Han River", and the mountain opposite the river is called "Hanshan Mountain".
