Li Shiqi took out a wine jar from the house, patted it, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I was thinking that the Qin State banned drinking, and I was afraid that I would not be able to buy wine in the future, so I was reluctant to finish it. I left some, just in time to entertain the general."
He found two pottery bowls and poured the turbid yellow wine into them.
There wasn't much wine, half of the bowl was filled, and at the end there was some black and yellow sediment flowing down.
"General please!"
Li Shiqi laughed, picked up the bowl and poured it into her mouth.
Zhao Tuo smiled slightly, picked up the pottery bowl, and drank half of the bowl of wine in one gulp.
Li Shiqi watched this scene, secretly amazed in her heart, knowing that the young man in front of her must not take it lightly.
He put down the bowl, sat up straight and said, "I wonder what the general's orders are when he comes here?"
"Nothing else, I just heard about Mr.'s name and came here to see him."
"Oh? It's amazing that my name can spread to the Qin army and let the general hear about it."
Zhao Tuo's face was calm.
The person in front of you.
It was named Lishiqi and had a great reputation at the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
In addition to his reputation as a drunkard in Gaoyang, there were two things that people talked about in his life.
One was that he persuaded Liu Bang to surrender to King Tian Guang of Qi, and asked more than 70 cities in Qi to raise flags to surrender to the Han.
The other thing was that Han Xin took advantage of Li Shiqi's suggestion to surrender to the King of Qi. When Qi was completely unprepared, he directly led troops to make a surprise attack.
As a result, Li Shiqi was killed by the furious King Qi.
Although Li Shiqi's end was not good, his ability must not be underestimated.
With one tongue, he can bring down seventy cities in the whole land.
A teacher capable of defeating millions.
Such achievements are enough to be called the number one lobbyist in the late Qin Dynasty, comparable to that of Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the past.
Zhao Tuo carefully looked at the man in front of him who had not yet made a fortune.
The robe on his body was old, and the Confucian crown on his head even had two holes, which showed that the other party was in poor financial condition.
The yellow wine stains all over the clothes showed that the other party was bohemian, or that he didn't care about appearance.
"I heard that your husband once learned the art of juggling long and short things."
"Of course."
Li Shiqi was surprised that the other party knew her very well.
In his early years, he did learn the art of vertical and horizontal, and he had the intention of galloping among the princes and imitating Su Qin.
A real man should be like Zhang Yi with a rhinoceros head.
When you are angry, the princes are afraid, and when you live in peace, the world is at peace.
In this way, your trip to this world will be worthwhile.
It's a pity that reality does not allow him to try.
His parents died early and the family fell into decline. The responsibility of raising his younger brother Lishang fell on his shoulders.
Li Shiqi could only extinguish her ambition and wanted to wait until Li Shang grew up to make contributions.
However, more than ten years later, his dream was shattered.
The Qin family was so powerful that it had the power to swallow up the whole world. Under that terrible army conquest, the six countries had no power to fight back and could only perish one by one.
Li Shiqi knew very well that under such circumstances, let alone him, even if Su Qin was resurrected and Xishou was still alive, he would not be able to make the Six Nations come back.
The Qin State could unify the world just by relying on war.
Lobbyists and strategists.
Xiaodaoer.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and sighed: "The world is about to return to Qin, and the skills of vertical and horizontal are of no use. Now I just want to live in Chenliu and be a common citizen of Qin."
Hearing this, Zhao Tuo smiled and shook his head.
"Sir, you are wrong."
"Who said that when the world is about to be unified, the art of verticality and horizontality will be useless. In my opinion, now is the time for you and other lobbyists and strategists to gallop on the battlefield."
Li Shiqi asked: "What do you mean by the general's words? Now that Qin has destroyed the three kingdoms, it will be a matter of time for Wei to fall. By then, only Qi and Chu will be left in the world. The strength of the countries is no longer equal. Even if we can make Qi and Chu Even if Chu joins forces, there is no way to save the world."
Zhao Tuo said: "Sir, you can see that the world is about to return to Qin, but you can't see the way to make contributions."
"Why do you always stick to serving the six kingdoms instead of serving me, Qin?"
Li Shiqi blinked his eyes and said: "I think so too, but now the King of Qin has the power to annex the world and does not value our powerful people. Besides, I am a poor man in Wei, how can I go to Qin? The stage of advancement."
What Li Shiqi said is true. Although the Qin State has the tradition of scholars from the Six Kingdoms, it does not taboo about nationality.
But not every scholar from the Six Kingdoms who enters the Qin Dynasty can be reused, and someone needs to be recommended as a stepping stone to enter the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, let alone reuse, you won't even be able to see the King of Qin.
For example, in order to strengthen the country, Qin Xiaogong issued an order seeking talents.
But after Shang Yang entered Qin, he still had to rely on Qin Xiaogong's favorite minister Jing Jian to talk to Qin Jun.
Another example is Ying Hou Fan Ju. After entering the Qin Dynasty, he also relied on Wang Ji as his introducer to leave an impression on King Qin Zhaoxiang.
Even today's chief minister Li Si was not valued by the King of Qin from the beginning. He had to work as a disciple under Lu Buwei for a long time.
Even talented people such as Shang Yang, Fan Ju, and Li Si need to be recommended by someone before they can show their talents.
Not to mention Li Shiqi.
Zhao Tuo laughed, pointed at himself, and said, "That being the case, Sir, let me see if I can be your first step."
"If sir is willing, I would like to do my best to help."
"Sir's talent will be of great use in this world."
"Xiao, you can say that you will be demoted to the county and become the king."
"Big, capable of recruiting princes and princes to surrender."
"For example, that King Qi!"
…
When Huan Zhao returned to Chenliu angrily, he was shocked to find that Yang Xiong, whom he deliberately left here to idle, had actually made a small contribution.
The light knights attacked at night and were killed by the Qin army, beheading more than three hundred people.
This number of beheadings is not many, and it cannot even upgrade the doctor's title.
But compared to the situation in which they led an army of 4,000 men to pursue them, Wei Bao took advantage of the terrain and walked away, and in the end, they only intercepted 100 rear soldiers in a full-scale attack, which was much better.
Huan Zhao couldn't keep it off, but he still praised Yang Xiong, who looked proud, in front of all the generals.
"Very good, my previous compliment was indeed correct."
However, something he didn't expect happened. Yang Xiong actually volunteered and said: "Chief Zuo, Chenliu has been settled now, but there are still several cities around it in the hands of the Wei people. I am willing to lead the army to attack the city and seize the territory!"
Huan Zhao's eyelids twitched, knowing that Yang Xiong wanted to make meritorious deeds again.
The purpose of their partial division was not only to occupy Chenliu, but also to capture surrounding cities and control major transportation routes.
Now that Chen Liu has occupied it, it is reasonable to send people out to attack nearby cities.
The last time, Huan Zhao asked Yang Xiong to stay behind while he led 4,000 men to pursue him.
Now that Yang Xiong has taken the initiative to ask for help, Huan Zhao can't stop him.
Everyone takes turns to go out and make meritorious deeds. This is an unspoken rule in the army.
"In that case, Yang Xiong, how about you lead a thousand of your men to attack Xiao Huang?"
Huan Zhao said calmly, and the generals around him smiled as if they were laughing.
Among the cities near Chenliu, Xiaohuang and Waihuang were the strongest.
There were hundreds of soldiers in each of the two cities. If they followed the order and recruited young knights or young men to assist in defending the city, they could reach a force of a thousand people. The Qin army of a thousand people could not easily capture it.
Huan Zhao originally planned to lead three to four thousand people to attack these two cities, but now he asked Yang Xiong to lead a thousand people, which can be described as naked difficulty.
However, when Yang Xiong heard this, he unexpectedly said excitedly: "Thank you, Chief Zuo, I will definitely capture Xiao Huang!"
Huan Zhao was startled, and the surrounding generals also looked at Yang Xiong with stunned expressions.
Isn't this kid crazy about making meritorious deeds?
A thousand people also want to attack Xiaohuang City?
Yang Xiong didn't care about them. When he saw Huan Zhao agreeing, he turned back to Zhao Tuo who was standing behind him.
A smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's lips.
Siege?
