From self-recommendation to self-nomination

The story of Mao Sui's self-recommendation is in the biography of junlie in the historical plains, and I believe that everyone knows this allusion very well and has heard of it.

The Qin general Bai Qi defeated the State of Zhao in the Battle of Changping, and when Bai Qi led his troops to directly besiege the capital of the State of Zhao, Handan, the State of Zhao sent Zhao Sheng, the prince of pingyuan, to ask the State of Chu for help.

Pingyuan Jun carefully selected among thousands of disciples, only 19 people were selected, and there was still one person left, at this time, Mao Sui proposed to follow Pingyuan Jun on his mission to the Chu Kingdom, but Pingyuan Jun had no impression on Mao Sui, who had been in the palace for 3 years, and ridiculed him for not having an awl into his pocket to show his talent, but Mao Sui retorted that once he was put into his pocket, the whole awl would be exposed, meaning that he had talent, as long as Ping Yuanjun gave him the opportunity to put it in his pocket.

When the State of Chu and the State of Zhao were negotiating a joint resistance against Qin, and the progress was as fast as a turtle, Mao Sui took a few steps up the steps and confronted the King of Chu: "The Great King relies on the large army of the State of Chu, and he can rebuke Pingyuan Jun and me at will, but I am only ten steps away from the Great King, and the Life of the Great King at this moment is in my hands, and no matter how many soldiers you have, you can't help at this time." Bai Qi only led tens of thousands of troops, and he defeated the Chu state and burned the tomb of the ancestors of the king of Chu, did the king even forget the hatred of the family and the country? The joint resistance against Qin was not only for the zhao state, but also for the great king, for the chu state. ”

The king of Chu nodded his head after hearing this, and finally signed a pact to jointly resist Qin, and the State of Chu sent troops to Handan to rescue him. In other words, the situation was compelling, and the king of Chu was forced by Mao Sui not to agree to it on the spot, but Mao Sui, as an excellent diplomat, achieved the goal of attacking the heart.

After returning to China, Mao Sui was reused by the King of Zhao because he avoided the crisis of the destruction of the Zhao State, but a year later, the Northern Yan State also sent an army to attack the Zhao State, and the King of Zhao and Pingyuan Junze believed too much in Mao Sui's ability, this time it was not Mao Sui who recommended himself, but took the initiative to recommend That Mao Sui to turn the tide and solve the Yan attack.

However, history tells us that Mao Sui proposed himself to become famous in the first world war and become a good diplomat, but he was not a good general who led the army to fight. After Mao Sui, who was forced to play the role of a general, went to the front, it can be said that it was not a paper soldier, it was simply ignorant, and finally it was regarded as a child's play by posterity, and after a defeat, the Zhao army was completely annihilated by the Yan state, and Mao Sui was ashamed to draw his sword and kill himself.

The brilliant performance of the Chu State Court, Mao Sui can be said to be bold, resist the Yan army, lead the troops to conscription, do not know the excuse, Mao Sui can say that he does not know enough about himself, an excellent diplomat role should not be transformed into the iron horse glacier of the leading soldiers, we can only regret.
