The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
During the Chu-Han war, there was such a legendary figure who advised Liu Bang and successively took more than 80 cities and pools in the State of Qi, this person was not Han Xin or Zhang Liang, but the unknown Li Shiqi.
History does not describe Li Shiqi much, during the Warring States period, the Wei people, after the Qin dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Li Shi fell in the middle of the road and became a doorman, but even so, Li Shiqi did not change his mind, always untamed, after Chen Sheng and others opened the banner of the uprising, all walks of life responded, Li Shiqi also wanted to show their grand plans, but after hearing that this group of people were all a bit of calculations, after being self-absorbed, Li Shiqi immediately cut off contact with them, usually living in simplicity, almost no one paid attention.
However, Li Shiqi had been looking for the Ming Lord, and later heard that Liu Bang was stationing troops in Chen, looking around for young talents, and Li Shiqi said: "Others say that Pei Gong is arrogant, that is his far-sighted thinking, this is the person I should follow, but I am suffering from no one to recommend." Later, Li Shiqi learned that the neighbor's son was serving as a soldier in Liu Bang's army, and tried to get the neighbor's son to introduce himself.
Hearing that Liu Bang was angry, many Confucians often talked about ideals after seeing Liu Bang, which aroused Liu Bang's disgust, so they took off their hats, peed inside, and often scolded in the face of Confucians, so they persuaded Li Shiqi not to behave too "elegantly", and later Liu Bang sent someone to invite Li Shiqi, after the two met, Liu Bang was sitting on the edge of the bed and let two women wash their feet. Then he said, "If you want to gather righteous soldiers, you shouldn't treat the elders with this attitude, it is rude, just imagine that there will be people who will faithfully follow you?" ”
Liu Bang suddenly woke up, hurriedly apologized and invited Li Shuqi to the upper seat, the two talked freely about the future pattern, Li Shiqi believed that Liu Bang gathered a ragtag crowd, adding up to only 10,000 horses, how to confront the regular army of Qiang Qin, the most secure way now is to control Chen Liu and make plans, Chen Liu is a key transportation point, the grain in the city is enough for a large army to garrison, Li Shuqi volunteered to persuade Chen Liu County, Liu Bang followed closely and took Chen Liu as a stronghold.
After that, Li Shiqi served as an envoy and lobbied for Liu Bang, when Xiang Yu's army suppressed the territory and captured Xingyang, Liu Bang was surrounded by regiments, Han Xin was attacking the State of Qi and could not be rescued, Liu Bang had no way, he wanted to abandon Xingyang, Li Shiqi took the opportunity to persuade Liu Bang, but all those who achieved great things took the people as the sky, and the people valued grain the most, and now there is a good place - Ao Cang, Ao Cang Tun has a large amount of grain, although the Chu people said that they took Xingyang, they did not garrison Ao Cang, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled guards. This was exactly the opportunity that Heaven had given the Han Army, and if they escaped now, wouldn't they have thrown out the fat meat in their hands?
Chu and Han have been holding each other for a long time, the whole country is in turmoil, the cultivated land is destroyed, the people have lost their field grain, and now the situation is not clear, the people have no desire to belong, at this critical juncture, send troops to capture Ao Cang, block the traffic points, the princes of the world naturally know which side is stronger, the people can also submit to us.
Han Xin was invincible, the land of Yan Zhao could be conquered in a few days, only the State of Qi had not yet been taken down, the State of Qi was vast, with the help of the natural barrier of the Yellow River and Jishui, even if there were hundreds of thousands of troops could not be easily taken, or Li Shiqi came forward to request lobbying the State of Qi, Li Shiqi saw Qi Wang Tian Guang, the two sides were on the opposite side, Li Shi said that the Chu and Han sides had already agreed to enter Xianyang as the king, Xiang Yu betrayed his faith, and even sent people to hunt down and kill Liu Bang, Liu Bang thought about the world, gathered the descendants of the pre-Qin princes, and laid the land to the descendants of the princes. The captured money was shared with the soldiers, but Xiang Yu was a cruel man, no one was willing to serve him, and at this critical moment, if he wanted to save the Qi state, he could only surrender to the King of Han.
After some persuasion, Tian Guang thought that Li Shiqi's words were reasonable, and then withdrew his defenses, and drank and enjoyed himself all day, after Han Xin's great victory, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack the State of Qi, so that he did not expect that Li Shiqi had already taken the King of Qi without spending a single soldier, Han Xin wanted to withdraw his troops, but his subordinate Kuche was strongly opposed, persuading Han Xin: "The general has good command, the troops will fight in blood, we have fought for so many years, only to lay down 50 cities in the Zhao State, and now a Li Shi will easily take down the State of Qi. Aren't so many of our soldiers inferior to him alone? ”
Han Xin felt that it was reasonable, so he rectified the soldiers and horses to attack the State of Qi, originally Li Shiqi had already negotiated with the King of Qi and revoked the border defenses, Han Xin's army did not waste any effort, and drove straight into the capital Linzi, where Tian Guang, the King of Qi, believed that Li Shiqi had deceived himself and forced Li Shiqi to come forward to let Han Xin retreat, and as a result, Li Shiqi did not comply, and was thrown into a pot by Tian Guang and boiled alive.
Then fled south, turned to Xiang Yu for help, Xiang Yu sent the general Long Ji to the rescue, and was about to fight with Han Xin, but Long and his subordinates said that although Tian Guang had lost a large amount of land, his prestige was still there, as long as he gave an order, there were still many henchmen who would respond, and Han Xin had traveled a long way, and the supply of grain and grass was a big problem, so there was no need to come forward to calm the crisis.
Long He, however, thought that Han Xin was from a humble origin, and there was no need to be afraid at all, han Xin sent people to find out the details of Long He, no matter how Long He shouted in front of the battle, Han Xin could not hold out, Long he made meritorious efforts, after Han Xin pretended to retreat, Long He led the army to pursue, and as a result, he was ambushed, the Chu army was defeated, Long and the King of Qi were killed, after this battle, the Han army finally took the State of Qi.
Han Xin occupied the state of Qi and threatened Liu Bang to make him the King of Qi, Liu Bang was furious but had no choice but to agree, but unfortunately Li Shiqi had originally made a great contribution, but he was tragically executed, among the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty, Li Shiqi was not as good as Zhang Liangxiao He, or even as good as Chen Ping, he indulged in wine, wild and unruly, but he was very angry with Liu Bang's temper, and dared to act boldly, helping Liu Bang to lay down the Great Han Dynasty with extraordinary political foresight.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
