Li Shiqi, a famous lobbyist in history, was a courtier of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.
In 204 BC, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was attacking the State of Qi in the east, but Liu Bang was repeatedly besieged by Xiang Yu's army on the xingyang and Chenggao lines, so Liu Bang wanted to abandon the territory east of Chenggao; Tunbing Gong and Luo were around to fight against the Chu army. Li Shiqi then said, "I have heard that those who can know that heaven is heaven can achieve the great cause of unification; but those who do not know why heaven is heaven cannot achieve the great cause of unification." As the king who achieved the great cause of reunification, he regarded the common people as the sky, and the common people regarded the grain as the sky. In this place of AoCang, the world has been transporting grain to this place for a long time. The Chu people conquered Xingyang, but instead of holding on to Ao Cang, they led their troops to the east, only letting some criminals divide and defend Chenggao, which was the heavens to fund the Food to the Han Army. Therefore, I ask you to quickly send troops to retake Xingyang and take possession of the grain in AoCang... Now that the State of Yan and the State of Zhao have been pacified, only the State of Qi has not yet been conquered, the State of Qi is backed by the sea, with the barrier of the Yellow River and the JiShui, close to the State of Chu in the south, even if you send hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible to defeat it in a year or a few months. I request that you be instructed to persuade the King of Qi to return to Han and become a vassal state of the East. Liu Bang replied, "Well, that's it!" ”
Liu Bang obeyed Li Shiqi's plan and once again sent troops to defend Ao Cang, while sending Li Shiqi to the State of Qi. With his three inches of incorruptible tongue, Li Yuqi moved Qi Wang Tian Guang to heed his advice, and the two of them drank together every day and had fun.
Han Xin heard that Li Shiqi had no effort, sat on the car and ran, and with three inches of uncorrupted tongue, he obtained more than seventy cities and pools in the State of Qi, and his heart was very unconvinced, so he took advantage of the cover of night to lead his troops to secretly attack the State of Qi. When Qi Wang Tian Guang heard that the Han soldiers were coming, he thought that Li Shiqi had betrayed himself, so he said to Li Shiqi: "If you can stop the Han army from attacking, I will let you live, otherwise, I will cook you!" Li Shiqi said: "People who do big things are not informal, and people with great virtue are not afraid of being blamed by others." I won't lobby Han Xin for you again! In this way, the king of Qi cooked and killed Li Shiqi and led his soldiers to flee eastward.
Chu and Han dynasties competed for the ruins of the ancient battlefield
In ancient times, there was a kind of criminal law called "cooking punishment", and "cooking punishment" was the criminal law of cooking people in a pot. Li Shiqi was killed by Han Xin in Huaiyang, which was very tragic!
Han Xin was later murdered, and I don't know if it has anything to do with Li Shuqi's tragic death?
