Chapter 44 Mao Sui's Excellence

Zhao Dan looked at him Li Si is also this person, in his heart he must be a little unable to understand his own approach, in his opinion, Zhao Dan is very reasonable and strategic, his previous arrangement can also be seen that this person is really powerful?

Li Si is a talent and an excellent person, he can see Zhao Dan's approach, but he doesn't support Zhao Dan's approach just now? In his opinion, Zhao Dan is indeed very powerful, right? After all, if the emperor who will dominate the country in the future is not powerful, how can he be called a real emperor, a real king of a country.

Zhao Dan also smiled and said to Li Si: "Mengxing, you have some doubts about the widow's approach, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the widow still listens to other people's opinions!" Besides, this time, if you have doubts about the opinions of the widows, the opinions of others that the widows can hear, Mengxing! Mengxing has an opinion, just mention it, the widow is not a tiger and will not eat you. ”

Li Si secretly thought in his heart that you are more terrifying than a tiger, decisive in killing, and sinister and treacherous character, I really don't know what to say? I can say that I am very afraid of you in my heart.

Li Si can be very afraid of Zhao Dan in his heart, in his opinion, the most terrifying thing in Zhao Guo is not Lian Po or Lin Xiangru, but he Zhao Dan is a person, who seems to be a meritocrat, but in fact, he is good at mental skills and strategy, and no one knows what he is thinking?

What is the real situation of Mao Sui! He doesn't know either? Here I want to talk about Mao Sui's self-recommendation. There is a saying that "gold always shines". In China, there is an idiom called "Mao Sui self-recommendation", which refers to such a thing.

During the Warring States period in ancient China, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was surrounded by the powerful Qin army and was in danger.

In order to save Handan, King Zhao wanted to unite another regional power, Chu, to fight against Qin. To this end, he sent Prince Pingyuan Jun to the state of Chu to lobby.

Pingyuan-kun planned to select 20 brave and resourceful people from his thousands of retainers to accompany him, but he could pick and choose, and only 19 were selected. At this moment, a guest came uninvited and offered himself to fill the vacancy. He is Mao Sui.

Pingyuanjun looked Mao Sui up and down and asked, "Who are you?" What are you looking for me? ”

Mao Sui said: "My name is Mao Sui. I heard that in order to save Handan, you will go to the state of Chu to lobby, and I am willing to go with you. ”

Pingyuanjun asked again: "How long have you and I been here?" ”

Mao Sui said: "It's been three years." ”

Pingyuanjun said: "Three years is not a short time. If a person has any special talents, just as an awl in a bag reveals its spikes at once, his talents will soon be revealed. But you've lived in my house for three years, and I haven't heard of any special talents for you. I went to Chu State this time, shouldering the heavy responsibility of asking for help to save Sheji, and people with no talent could not go together. You're just going to stay. ”

Pingyuan-kun's words were very frank. But Mao Sui replied confidently: "You are not right, it's not that I don't have special talents, it's that you didn't put me in your bag." If I had been put in my bag, my special talents would have stood out like an awl. ”

From the conversation, Pingyuan Jun seemed to feel that Mao Sui was indeed talented, so he accepted Mao Sui's self-recommendation, gathered 20 followers, and went to Chu State. When he arrived in the state of Chu, Pingyuan Jun negotiated with the king of Chu. After Pingyuan Jun explained in detail the necessity of uniting against Qin, he asked the king of Chu to send reinforcements to rescue Handan as soon as possible, but the king of Chu was silent. Their negotiations lasted from early morning to noon, and no result had been reached. The 20 attachés who were waiting outside became anxious.

Mao came here, because he was self-recommended, so the 19 attachés looked down on him in their hearts, and always felt that he was a little boastful. At this time, they wanted to see what kind of talent Mao Sui had, so they encouraged him:

"Mr. Mao, the negotiations have been fruitless for a long time. You go in and ask what happened. ”

Mao Sui immediately agreed. He pressed the sword tightly at his waist, came to the king of Chu and said:

"King, Chu and Zhao unite to fight against Qin, and things must be done. This is something that can be agreed upon in just two sentences. However, since the morning has not been able to come to a conclusion, why is that? ”

Mao Sui's appearance and questioning made the king of Chu very unhappy. He ignored Mao Sui, turned around and asked Pingyuan Jun angrily:

"Who is he?"

Pingyuan-kun said, "He is my attaché. ”

The king of Chu was angry, turned around and rebuked Mao Sui and said:

"The widow is discussing with your lord, what kind of person are you, and you have come up to intervene!"

The words of the king of Chu aroused Mao Sui's anger. He drew his sword out of its sheath, then approached the king of Chu two steps, and said loudly:

"Honorable King of Chu, why do you dare to reprimand me, isn't it just because your Chu State is a big country? Isn't it just that there are many guards around you at this time? However, I will tell you now, at the moment, within these ten steps, it is useless for your national university, and it is useless for you to have many people. Your life is in my hands, what are you crying out? ”

After Mao Sui said this, the king of Chu was so frightened that his head was sweating and he was silent.

Mao Sui said again: "Chu is a big country and should dominate the world. However, you are afraid of the Qin State to death in your bones. What a shame it is for the Qin State to invade the Chu State many times and occupy a lot of your territory! Thinking of these, even we Zhao people feel shy. Now, we are here to unite you to fight against Qin, saying that it is to save Handan, and at the same time, it is also to avenge your Chu State. But you are so cowardly. What are you called a king? Aren't you ashamed? ”

In front of Mao Sui's passionate words, the King of Chu was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.

Mao then said:

"Venerable King Chu, how is it? Are you willing to fight Qin together with our Zhao State? ”

"Yes! Willing! ”

The king of Chu was full of mouths.

After Chu and Zhao signed an alliance to jointly resist Qin, Pingyuanjun and his party quickly returned to Handan. Seeing King Zhao, Pingyuan Jun said:

"I went to the state of Chu this time, thanks to Mr. Mao Sui. His three-inch tongue made our Zhao State heavier than Jiuding Dalu. He's better than a million soldiers! ”

Within three days, Mao Sui's name became a household name in Handan, the capital of Zhao. Now this idiom is often used to refer to a talented person who has the courage to recommend himself to others. This is also what happened not long after Zhao Guo and King Zhao ascended the throne, of course, such things have not changed with the situation of Zhao State, but this Mao Sui is just different from history, and before these were just stretching the connection between the two, after all, Qin Chu naturally had contradictions, Mao Sui had his own ideas, he hoped that he could assist, of course, this is just a later story.

Of course, it was also because of Li Si that he arrived in Zhao State, and there were many things that he himself could not know, and he had no way of knowing what the situation was, and he had no way of knowing.
