高中三年级英语(人教版)全一册 Unit 11 Reading and Speaking

　　Years later, Liu Bang, who founded the Han Dynasty, asked Han Xin to serve as one of his generals. In times of peace, Han Xin took up the post of a high official back in his hometown. The bad guys who had made his life so miserable in his youth still lived there. On taking up his post, he called them to his office for some "business".

　　Everyone remembered what these men had done to Han Xin in the past. When they arrived at his office, they were all afraid of what Han Xin would do to them, and what horrible punishment he was going to give them. When Han Xin heard of their arrival, he told his secretary to keep them around, while he ignored them to do other matters. By the end of the day, Han Xin called them into his office. He poured them some wine and asked them about the things that had happened in the town while he had been away. When they had finished, he just sent them home.
