A self-recommended story

At that time, the army of Qin surrounded Handan, and the situation of Zhao was very critical, and the power of Qin was so strong. Now the chances of Enemy at the Gates, Zhao and Li Shimin winning the decisive battle are slim. King Zhao Huiwen is as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. Ping Yuanjun, the prime minister, thinks that in this case, there is only a joint Chu state. Chu and Qin have always hated each other, and Qin is a big heart disease of Chu. If you form an alliance with Chu, then Qin Jun can be broken. This is called defense against the enemy.

The question now is whether Chu is willing to form an alliance with Zhao.

Chu is suspicious of Ye Zhao, and the king of Chu is a difficult person to deal with, so the king of Zhao Huiwen has no bottom in his heart. The Prince of Zhao only asked Ping Yuanjun to come out, hoping to convince the King of Chu with his virtue and wisdom.

Ping Yuanjun said, "I will succeed this time. If I can convince him, that's the best. If the king of Chu doesn't believe this, then I will take him hostage in the court of Chu, and the anti-Qin alliance will be established. "

Blood and blood is an ancient alliance ceremony, that is, the blood of livestock is painted on the mouth to show loyalty. Commonly used among governors during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Before leaving, Ping Yuanjun said, "I'm going to choose 20 all-rounders to join me."

He has more than 3000 people under his command. It is easy to choose 20 people. But Ping Yuanjun is also a very strict person. He chose for a long time, only 19 people. There is only one person left, and he chooses repeatedly, but he is not satisfied.

While he was embarrassed, a man suddenly stood out and saw that this man was five big and three thick, with a look of assurance, and walked to Ping Yuanjun in three steps and two steps. Ping Yuanjun looked at him suspiciously. He looks a little familiar. The man said, "Maybe you don't know me very well. I am your disciple Mao Sui. You have to choose 20 people to go to Chu. Now one person is missing. I may be the last person you want. "

The following people gave a gentle laugh, some were whispering, and everyone looked at him contemptuously. Seeing that this man is so bold and not modest at all, Ping Yuanjun said, "How many years have you been under my door?"

Mao Sui said, "Three years." Here is a burst of laughter.

Ping Yuanjun said slowly, "I heard that in this world, a saint is like an awl in a bag, and its tip will soon be exposed. You have been with me for three years, and you haven't done anything important for everyone to praise you. I have never heard of your great ability. This proves that your skills are very limited. I think you'd better stay. However, your spirit is worth learning. "

When Mao Sui heard Ping Yuanjun's obvious contempt for himself, he didn't worry, panic or blush. He still said confidently, "You are right, son. I didn't make my point before, that is, you didn't put me in the bag. Today I just asked my son to put me in the bag. "

At this time, Ping Yuanjun was despised in my heart from the beginning, and now I like this young man very much. Looking at his confident appearance and extraordinary conversation, he already felt that a gyro was exposed. So he took Mao Sui to the State of Chu to accomplish the great mission of the country.

Other 19 people laughed at Mao Sui, and they often made fun of him privately along the way.

When Ping Yuanjun arrived in Chu, he and the King of Chu discussed the issue of union. But the debut of the king of Chu is the king; Then explain how difficult it is for your country to fight this war; Then there is the limited national strength of Chu. If you offend a big country like Qin, it will be difficult to get along with princes in the future. No matter what Ping Yuanjun said, the King of Chu refused.

Ping Yuanjun talked from morning till noon, but the king of Chu seemed indifferent, which really made Ping Yuanjun sweat.

The owner of Ping Yuanjun can't wait to hear the rest of it. A man said, "Isn't this Mr. Mao Sui boasting that he can convince the King of Chu? Now is the opportunity. Hurry up. " People want to see his jokes.

Mao Sui looked at them and really strode over. He held a sword in one hand, his eyebrows bristled angrily, and his big eyes shone with unquestionable light. I saw him go to the side and said, "son, the relationship between the advantages and disadvantages of Qin can be clarified in two words. Why did you talk to him from morning till noon? "

The king of Chu saw this unexpected guest and said, "Who is this?"

Ping Yuanjun said, "It's my master." The king of Chu shouted, "Don't go down. I'm discussing something important with your son. What are you doing here? "

Mao Sui deliberately stepped forward to the king of Chu with his sword and said loudly, "You are rude to me because you are sitting at home and relying on your large number. But can you show the advantage of Chu's large number of people in these ten steps?" The king's life is actually in my hands, and my master is right in front of you. Why are you rude to me? It is often said that beating a dog depends on its owner. If you are rude to me, you are actually insulting my master. "

The king of Chu was beaten by him. I don't know what to do. He looked at Ping Yuanjun for help, and Ping Yuanjun motioned for him to listen to him.

Mao Sui went on to say, "I heard that Shang Tang only had 70 Li of land at that time, but later he won the world, while Zhou Wenwang only had 100 Li. Later, the governors all bowed to him. It can be seen that the country's prosperity lies not in the large number of soldiers and land, but in benevolence, morality and power. Today, Chu has five thousand Li and millions of soldiers. This is the foundation of hegemony. With the strength of Chu, who can compete in the world? Sadly, however, Tian Lei was just an ordinary general with less than 10,000 troops, but he was able to defeat your Chu state again and again, which not only occupied your important strategic position, but also insulted your ancestors. This is really a pity for your Chu state, and even we Zhao people are ashamed of the king. But you are not ashamed of it, and you are still sleeping at home, waiting for others to completely ruin you! My son put forward the art of union, not for Zhao, but for you. It's ungrateful to insult me in front of my master. What the hell are you doing? "

The king of Chu was taught a lesson by a young man, and the lesson was still reasonable, which made him unable to step down. He thought that Zhao was a talented person, and it would be a bad thing to form an alliance with them. He said: "Then according to Mr. Mao's statement, we will form an alliance between Chu and Zhao to jointly resist Qin Jun for the benefit of our two countries."

Afraid it was just perfunctory, Mao Sui said, "Has the integration strategy been decided?"

The king of Chu said, "Of course."

Mao Sui said to the servants of the King of Chu standing under the stage, "Bring chicken blood, dog blood and horse blood quickly."

After a while, blood came up. Mao Sui took the plate, knelt in front of the king of Chu, raised the blood to the king's chest and said, "Please make blood for the king of Chu. You go first, then my master, and then me." The king of Chu did it one by one.

Thanks to Mao Sui's courage and wisdom, Chu and Zhao formed an alliance. The King of Chu sent Chun Shen Jun to lead 80,000 troops to save Zhao, which played a great role in easing the siege of Handan.

After selection, there is still one person missing at last.

A man named stood up and recommended himself to Mao Sui, saying, "I heard that Mr. Wang is going to the State of Chu to sign a contract of union, and it is agreed that 20 public guests will go with him and not be outside to watch. However, one person is still missing. I hope that Teacher Wang will start with the number of people! "

Ping Yuanjun said, "How many years has Mr. Zhao Sheng been here?" Mao Sui said, "Three years." Ping Yuanjun said, "A wise man in the world is like an awl in a bag, and its tip will be revealed immediately. Now, I have been under Zhao Shengmen for three years, and no one around me has praised you, and Zhao Sheng has never heard any compliments. This is because Mr. Wang has no talent.

So Mr. Wang Can can't go with us, please stay! "He said," I only asked to enter the bag today. If I had been in the bag, I would have exposed the whole edge like an awl, not just the tip. "Ping Yuanjun finally took away.

In the State of Chu, the King of Chu only received Ping Yuanjun. Two people sat in the temple, from morning to noon, with no result. Mao Sui stepped up the steps and shouted at a distance, "It's either good or bad to send troops. Simple and clear. Why not decide to discuss it? " The king of Chu was very angry and asked Ping Yuanjun, "Who is this man?" Ping Yuanjun replied: "This man's name is Mao Sui, but he is my guest!"

He put the sword in his hand and said, "Now, in ten steps, your king's life is in my hands!" " Seeing that Mao Sui was so brave, the King of Chu stopped scolding him, so he listened to Mao Sui.

I went to Chu to negotiate with the king of Chu to unite against Qin.

Ping Yuanjun is going to take twenty all-around athletes to Chu. He has 3000 clients, but he really needs to find them.

It's not easy to be a talented person with both civil and military skills. Pick and choose, only 19 people were selected, and the rest were all gone.

Just as he was in a hurry, a doorman sitting at the bottom stood up and recommended himself and said, "Can I make up the number?"

And then what? "

Ping Yuanjun was a little surprised and said, "What's your name? How many days have you been in our house? "

The doorman said, "My name is Mao Sui. I have been here for three years."

After some sweet talk, he quietly said to him, "Teacher Mao, it's up to you!" "

What? "

The king of Chu looked at him with a sword and listened to him. He was a little scared and changed his amiable face to him.

And said, "What do you think? Please say it. "

Mao Sui said: "Chu has more than 5,000 miles of land and 1 million soldiers. It turned out to be a hegemonic country. I didn't expect Qin to be a real person.

With the rise, Chu was defeated again and again, and even the monarch became a prisoner of Qin and died in Qin. This is the greatest shame of Chu.

Insult. Qin was just a lad, with tens of thousands of people, who won the capital of Chu in World War I-

Ying du city was taken, forcing the king to move the capital. This shame, even we Zhao people are ashamed of you. I can't believe the king has fallen.
