2. Referring to Zhang Liang, who later helped to exterminate the Qin Dynasty. At Xiapi he met an old man who had dropped a shoe under a bridge and asked him to put it on for him. Zhang did as he was told. The old man told Zhang to come and meet him at midnight. Twice Zhang was late. Finally when Zhang came to the bridge before the old man, the latter gave him a copy of The Patriarch Lü Shang’s Art of War (《太公兵法》).
