Defining a Hero While Warming the Wine

From Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao wanted to pry into Liu Bei's thought to see whether he would like to rule the country. So he invited Liu to have a drink. Cao Cao set various kinds of wine containers and cooked green plums in the kettle. The two sat down facing each other, drinking to their heart's content. Liu Bei pretended to chest no ambitions, hooking Cao Cao to believe that he was a mediocre as timid as a mouse. Thereafter, Cao Cao gradually lost his wariness on Liu Bei.
