On one occasion, Liu Xiu sent Geng He to attack Zhang Bu, a strongman who occupied twelve counties in Qingzhou, Shandong Province. Zhang Bu's soldiers are stronger than Mazhuang's, and they are the strong enemies of Geng He. Zhang Bu heard that Geng led the troops to attack. He sent generals and soldiers to guard lixia, zhua and linzi to prepare for them. Geng He captured Zhuan Xu first, and then successively captured Lixia and Linzi in a planned way. Worried, Zhang Bu personally led the troops to counterattack Linzi, so he launched a bloody battle for life and death outside Linzi. In the battle, Geng got an arrow in his thigh, but he bravely cut off the shaft with his sabre. Although he was injured, he still insisted on fighting. Liu Xiu heard the news. Lead troops to support in person. When reinforcements haven't arrived, Jun Chen thinks that Zhang Bu is very strong, suggesting a temporary truce, and then attack when reinforcements arrive. However, Geng He believes that difficulties cannot be left to others. After a fierce battle, Geng He finally defeated Zhang Bu. A few days later, Liu Xiu came to Linzi to comfort the army. In front of many generals, he praised Geng He and said, "In those days, Han Xin broke history and started an inheritance. Now the generals have conquered Zhu A. Lien Chan and Jie Jie have similar merits. Once upon a time, you suggested in Nanyang that Zhang Bu should be pacified. At that time, I thought your tone was too big, and I was afraid it would be difficult to succeed. Now I know that where there is a will, there is a way! "

This sentence shows that no matter how difficult it is, a person can succeed as long as he has ambition and perseverance. On the other hand, if a person has no ambition, even doing the simplest things is not satisfactory. /CA & gt；
