In 257 BC, in the fifty-sixth year of Zhou Nanwang, Zhao Haoqi of Qin wanted to avenge Fan Sui. Zhao Haoqi of Qin heard that Wei Qi was in Zhao Sheng's house, so he tricked Zhao Sheng into Qin and locked him up. Zhao Haoqi, king of Qin, sent an envoy to see Zhao Xiaocheng, saying, "Without Wei Qi's head, I would never let your uncle Zhao give birth to Guan." Wei Qi was desperate, so he had to find Zhao Yuxiang Yu Xin. Yu Xin was not even the prime minister of this country, so he gave up Xiangyin and fled with Wei Qi. When they arrived in Wei, they wanted to ask Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, to help them escape to Chu. New Ling Jun was embarrassed and didn't receive them. Wei Qi was very angry and committed suicide. Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao finally gave Wei Qi's head to the State of Qin, and King Qin Zhao ordered it to be returned to Ping Yuanjun. In September, the state of Qin sent five generals to the tomb to lead the army to conquer Zhao again. At this time, Bai didn't go because of illness.
In 258 BC, in the first month of Zhou Nanwang's fifty-seventh year, the tomb attacked Handan, which was defeated repeatedly. Qin recruited more troops to support the mausoleum, and the mausoleum lost five troops: chariot riding, infantry, Yue riding, Changshui and archery. At this time, Tian Lei recovered, and Zhao Haoqi of Qin wanted to send him to the tomb. Bai Qi said, "Handan is really not easy to attack. In addition, the vassal's reinforcements can arrive in one day. Those princes' resentment against Qin was accumulated for a long time. Although Qin won in Changping, our own army also lost more than half, and the country was empty, and then we traveled long distances to attack other capitals. At this time, if Zhao resists internally and other countries attack externally, they will be defeated. " Zhao Haoqi of Qin saw that he could not give orders himself, so he asked Fan Sui to persuade Tian Lei. Tian Lei refused to go because he was ill, so the king of Qin Zhao had to send Wang Bi instead of the tomb.
Zhao Haoqi sent Zhao Sheng to Chu for help. Zhao Sheng is going to choose 20 people who are both civil and military from his diners. As a result, he only chose 19, and the rest are not worth taking. At this time, a man named Mao Sui recommended himself to Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng said, "A wise man in the world is like an awl in his pocket. The tip of the awl can be exposed immediately. It's been three years since Mr. Wang came to see Zhao Sheng, but no one has praised you and never heard of what you have done. Obviously, Mr. Wang has no strong points. Sir can't do it, sir, stay! " Mao Sui said, "Today I will ask you to put me in your pocket! If I had put it in my pocket earlier, I would have stood out, not just showing a cone tip! " Zhao Sheng then asked Mao Sui to go to Chu, and the other nineteen people all smiled at each other.
When Zhao Sheng arrived in Chu, he explained the interests of United Lian Heng to King Gao Lie of Chu. He talked from sunrise to noon, but King Gao Lie of Chu still hesitated. Mao Sui walked up the steps with a sword and said to Zhao Sheng, "We can make it clear in two sentences and then make a decision! Let's talk about sunrise now. We can't decide until noon. What is the reason? " King Gao Lie of Chu angered Mao Sui and said, "Don't go down! I talked to your master. What do you do? " Mao Sui pressed his sword and went forward again and said, "Your Majesty, you reprimanded me because there are so many people in Chu. Now that we are within ten steps, your life is in my hands, and you can't rely on the power of Chu! Why do you blame me in front of my master? It is said that Shang Tang ruled the world with a land of 70 miles, and Zhou Wenwang made the vassals submit with a land of 100 miles. Do they rely on more soldiers? Just follow the general trend and cheer up. Now, five thousand miles away in Fiona Fang, Chu, there are millions of warriors with halberds. This is the capital that dominates the whole country! With the power of Chu, the world is hard to resist. Tian Lei is just a nobody. He took tens of thousands of soldiers to fight against Chu. He captured Yan State and Ying State in World War I, burned Yiling in World War I, and destroyed Chu Gong Temple in World War III, humiliating your ancestors. This is a feud that will last forever. YiWen Zhao is ashamed of you, but the king is not embarrassed. Now, we propose to unite against the state of Qin, for the sake of Chu, not Zhao! My master is here, what are you calling me? " King Gao Lie of Chu only said, "All right, all right, as Mr. Wang said, I am willing to unite with you to fight against Qin with the strength of the whole country." Mao Sui said, "Have you decided?" King Chu Kao Lie said, "That's settled!" Mao Sui said to King Gao Lie's entourage, "Take the blood of chickens, dogs and horses!" Mao Sui raised the copper plate, knelt down and said to King Gao of Chu, "Please swear with your blood! You go first, my master will come again, and I will come last. " So an anti-Qin alliance was formed in the main hall. At this time, Mao Sui held a copper coin in his left hand and a copper coin in his right hand, and said to the accompanying 19 people: "You should also swear together under the hall! You didn't do anything, or you did my thing. " Zhao Sheng returned to Zhao after signing an agreement with Chu, and sighed: "I dare not say that I can identify talents from now on!" Therefore, Mao Sui was honored as a distinguished guest.
After the alliance, King Gao Lie of Chu sent Chun, Shen Jun and Huang Xie to lead the army to save Zhao, and King Wei Anli also ordered the general to lead hundreds of troops to save Zhao. The king of Qin sent someone to see Wei Anli and said, "If I attack Zhao, I will occupy it sooner or later. Whoever dares to save Zhao in all countries, I will attack him if I destroy Zhao! " King Wei Anli was afraid, so he sent someone to stop Jinbi from advancing. Station troops in Yecheng, stand firm, nominally to save Zhao, but actually at both ends of the first mouse. King Wei Anli sent Yan, a general, to sneak into Handan. By persuading Cheng Xiao, he planned to jointly respect him as emperor to prevent him from sending troops. Lu Zhonglian, a native of Qi, happened to be in Handan. When he heard about it, he came to see Xin Yuanyan and said, "Qin is a country that abandons ceremony and respects killing. If it can openly claim the world, I, Lv Zhonglian, will only die by jumping into the East China Sea, and will never be a subject of the State of Qin! In addition, after Zhao Haoqi proclaimed himself emperor, Wei did not see any serious harm. I'll let the king of Qin cook Wang Wei into a paste! " Yan asked Lv Zhonglian sullenly, "How can you let the king of Qin cook Wang Wei to a paste?" Lu Zhonglian said, "Yes, you listen to me slowly. At that time, Jiuhou, Hubei Hou and King Wen were the three princes of Shang Zhouwang. Jiuhou has a beautiful daughter. She married Zhou Wang, but Zhou Wang hates her, so he chopped Jiuhou into a paste. Hubei Hou tried to maintain Jiuhou, crying grievances, and was beaten to a pulp by Zhou Wang. When Zhou Wenwang heard about it, he sighed, and was kept in a warehouse in Guanli by Zhou Wang for one hundred days, asking him to die. Now Qin is a country with thousands of cars and Wei is also a country with thousands of cars. They all have strong strength and their own titles. Why do you have to yield when you see that Qin has won the battle, respect yourself as the emperor, and let yourself be chopped into meat sauce and made into dried meat? If the King of Qin proclaimed himself emperor, he would command the world with the gift of the emperor, replace ministers of various countries, deprive those he thought unworthy of virtue, deprive those he hated of those he loved, and give his daughter concubines to the prince as concubines. Will Wei be so at ease with these people in Daliang Palace? And general, can you still get Wang Wei's favor? " Yan Xinyuan left his seat, made two obeisances, and said, "I just learned today that Mr. Wang is the best scholar in the world!" " I'm leaving for home now, and I dare not mention respecting Qin as emperor again. "
At the beginning, Wei's son was a corporal with benevolence and virtue, and there were 3 thousand diners under his door. Hou Ying, a hermit of Wei, is seventy years old and his family is very poor. He is a gatekeeper in Yimen and a girder in Wei. Once, Wei Wuji gave a banquet to entertain guests. Everyone was seated, but Wei Wuji ordered to prepare chariots and horses, vacated the position on the left, and personally greeted Hou Ying. Wearing old clothes and a broken hat, Hou Ying got on the bus directly, which was not humble at all. Wei Wuji personally driving, more respectful. On the way, Hou Ying said to Wei Wuji, "I have a friend who sells meat in the market. I hope to take this opportunity to visit him. " Wei Wuji ordered the car to enter the market, and Hou Ying got off to see Zhu Hai. While peeking at Mowgli, he deliberately stood there and talked with him for a long time, only to see that his attitude was more modest, so he left his friend to board the bus and arrived at Wei Wuji House. Wei Wuji asked Hou Ying to sit at the top of the table and praised him to the guests, who were all surprised.
At this time, Guo is attacking the city of Handan, the capital of Zhao, and Zhao's wife is her sister. Zhao Sheng sent messengers to Wei for help, accusing him of saying, "Zhao Sheng, I married Wei because I admire your kindness and spirit of helping others. Now Handan will fall into the hands of Qin sooner or later, and Wei's reinforcements are also containing it. Even if you look down on me, Zhao Sheng looks down on me. Don't you pity your sister? " Wei Wuji was very anxious. He repeatedly asked King Wei An to order Zhao's rescue and sent his eloquent guests to lobby everywhere. However, King Wei Anli remained unmoved. So we had to gather more than 100 guests to ride horses and prepare to fight to the death with Zhao. After Yimen, Wei Wuji went to see Hou Ying. Hou Ying said, "Be careful, son. I am too old to walk! " After Wei Wuji left, he walked a few miles, feeling depressed and unhappy, and returned to see Hou Ying. Hou Ying smiled and said, "I knew you would come back! Now you have no other way to face Qin Jun personally, which is like feeding meat to a hungry tiger. What's the use? " Wei Wuji, thank you again. Hou Ying backed away and said, "The tune I heard is in Wang Wei's bedroom. His favorite is Ji. Ruji has a way to steal it. I heard that you avenged Ruji's father, and Ruji was willing to die for you. As long as you open your mouth, you can get the tiger symbol, seize the Jin soldiers, save Zhao in the north and resist Qin in the west. This is a feat similar to the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. " Wei Wuji did as Hou Ying said, so he got the military code. Wei Wuji was going to Handan, and Hou Ying said, "Your orders will not be affected if you are not in Handan. If Jinbi doesn't hand over the military power after checking the bugle, it will be dangerous for him to ask Wang Wei for instructions again. My friend Zhu Hai, a strong man, can go with you. If jinbi listens, it is best; If you don't listen, let Zhu Hai kill him! " So Wei Wuji asked Zhu Hai to go with him.
When he arrived in Yecheng, Jinbi was still very suspicious after checking the military signs. He raised his hand, looked at Wei Wuji and said, "I led a hundred thousand troops to guard the border, and you rode a bicycle alone instead of me. What's wrong? " Zhu Hai took an iron cone weighing 40 Jin from his sleeve and killed Jinbi. Wei Wuji ordered the troops to say, "Father and son are in the army, and father can go back! Both brothers are in the army. Brother can go back! If the only son has no brothers, he can go back to serve his parents! " So he chose 80 thousand people and led the army forward.
