Han Xin said in his letter: "King Yan, I know that you are a peace-loving country, and since the division of the world, you have kept yourself clean and not easily participated in any war in the Central Plains. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHowever, Chu and Han are fighting each other, and the war has affected the people of the world; And King Xiang is bloodthirsty and killing, never regards the people as his subjects, never takes the soldiers of the princes as his own soldiers, and even kills the righteous emperor. Therefore, the king of Han raised righteous soldiers and opposed Qiang Chu, and the princes of the world responded. I hope that you not only love the peace of your own country, but also conform to the general trend of the world, contribute to the peace of the people of the world, and work with us to complete the cause of ending the war and eliminating the violence! ”

Han Xin is not known for his literary talents, and this letter is naturally written by Li Zuoche. However, the letter of persuasion came to the king of Yan, and the effect was surprisingly good, and the king of Yan immediately replied to the letter, expressing his willingness to surrender to the king of Han and follow the Han army to complete the cause of ending the war with war and making peace in the world. The two sides signed a peace treaty, and the king of Yan sent an army to follow Han Xin and continue eastward to attack the state of Qi.

Qi is located in the Bohai Bay area, rich and populous, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period are a strong country, in the early days with the art of war was stronger than the world, and later because it was too rich, the people were greedy for comfort, and gradually went downhill.

Qi was originally the fuse at the beginning of the Chu-Han War, and earlier we wrote that Zhang Liang sent a letter to the three heroes of Qi, instigating them to join forces to resist Chu, but as a result, Tian Rong, a rebel general appeared in Qi, killed the king of Qi, and led his troops to resist Chu. Xiang Yu deliberately laid down a suspicious array of [Sound East and West], led the army to attack Qi, and exposed the entire rear line to the Han army, causing Liu Bang to think that he had a plan, and led the five princes, 560,000 troops and 100,000 troops to capture Pengcheng. The next thing is clear, Liu Bang was defeated, and all the princes once again surrendered to the state of Chu; And Tian Rong of Qi was destroyed by the original three kings of Qi, and everyone swore allegiance to Chu and followed Xiang Yu with an iron heart.

The problem is that when Han Xin took more than 10,000 people and marched east along the Yellow River, first destroying the Wei State, then pacifying the Warring States Period, and then surrendering the Yan State, the soldiers pointed directly at the territory of the Qi State, and the Qi people were afraid, Han Xin took Cao Shen and Guan Ying to recruit troops and horses all the way to the border of the Qi State. The country of Qi has become a mess, and none of the three Qi kings has a hard bone, so everyone is discussing what to do? Is it to drop or to fight? Or go to the state of Chu to ask for help?

Persuasion has always been Liu Bang's patent, and it is also Liu Bang's favorite thing to do. Although Liu Bang is still playing the Turtle Breath Formation in Xingyang, he pays more attention to the war in the east than anyone else. When he heard that Han Xin's army had arrived in the Qi State, he immediately called his first diplomat, Li Shiqi, and asked him to persuade the Qi State to surrender. This logic is actually very simple, since the Yan State has surrendered, there is no reason why the Qi State can't handle it; Liu Bang is extremely confident in his charisma. The truth went more smoothly than Liu Bang imagined, Li Shiqi had just taken the letter of persuasion to Qi State, and the people of Qi immediately swore to surrender when they saw it. Why? The situation of Qi is similar to that of Yan State, who is not with it? Anyway, the army is in our own hands, and it is more comfortable with the King of Han, at least on the surface, the King of Han is more reasonable than Xiang Yu. Li Shiqi received the highest level of hospitality, and the three Qi kings held a banquet, singing and dancing day and night, and let Li Shiqi be a guest in the Qi country to show his gratitude. This day and night song and dance can make the great diplomat eat it!

Han Shin is not happy! Why? If you want to persuade you to surrender, it should be Lao Tzu to persuade you to surrender? Why should an irrelevant eater come all the way to rob me of my credit? Han Xin was very unhappy, so he summoned all the generals and strategists to discuss the situation in Qi State. Everyone said: Since the King of Han has already surrendered the State of Qi, we are allies, there is no need to fight again, not to mention that the soldiers of the State of Qi are strong and strong, if the State of Qi is forced to be in a hurry, they will take refuge in the State of Chu and move to the rescue, we may not be able to eat and walk around. Han Xin didn't say anything, but he was still very unhappy in his heart, but he really couldn't find a reason to send troops, so he really planned to give up.

After the meeting, a strategist named Kuaitong came to Han Xin's big tent, and he came to persuade Han Xin, the god of war, to march into the Qi country.

It should be said that Kuaitong is a very good strategist, very far-sighted and ambitious.

Kuaitong said to Han Xin: "Why doesn't the general march into the army? ”

Han Xin said: "Didn't Li Shiqi already persuade the Qi State to surrender? Everyone thinks that the march may not win, and it will offend the king of Han. ”

Kuai Tong smiled, shook his head and said, "The general is wrong, may I ask, did the King of Han inform you of the withdrawal of the army?" ”

Han Xin said: "No! Naturally, King Han never said such a thing! ”

Kuaitong laughed and continued to seduce: "That's it! Did the King of Han send someone to tell you that he sent Li Shiqi to persuade the Qi army to surrender? Has anyone asked you to cooperate with him? ”

Han Xin said: "No! This is the secret messenger of the Han King faction! ”

Kuaitong paused, sold a pass, and said with a wicked smile: "You should understand the result!" You don't need to tell me, do you? ”

Han Xin was very innocent and continued to ask: "What should we do?" Please sir teach me! ”
