After Zhao's death, Han Xin asked him for advice and put forward a good strategy of "winning every battle", which enabled Han Xin to recover the land of Yan Qi.

Life legend

In October of the third year of Emperor Gaozu (204 BC), Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang sent people to lead more than 10,000 newly recruited Han troops across Taihang Mountain and eastward to attack Zhao, a vassal state of Xiang Yu. Li Zuoche led Zhao Wangxie and Zhao Commander Cheng to concentrate 200,000 troops in Jingxingkou (now Jingxingdong, Hebei Province) in Taihang Mountain area, occupying favorable terrain and preparing for a decisive battle with Han Xin. Li Zuoche thought that the Han army was short of food, the foot soldiers were hungry and tired, the Jingxing Valley was narrow and long, and the horses and chariots could not go hand in hand, so it was better to attack them than to defend them. As long as it is strictly observed, it can be foolproof. So, he stated his interests to Zhao's head coach and invited 30 thousand troops to go out of infernal affairs and cut off the food and grass of the Han army. Chen Yu, not strictly Jingxing, resolutely used troops.

Han Xin quickly picked two thousand Qingqi, and went around the flank of Zhao Daying from the path in the middle of the night, lurking for attack. The next morning, Han Xin and his main forces left Jingxingkou and laid a "back water array" on the east bank of Mianhe River to lure Zhao to attack it. Sure enough, Zhao pursued them with a nest of Han troops. The Han army took advantage of its surprise and seized Zhao's camp. Zhao Jun saw this chaos. The Han army took advantage of the situation, attacked from front to back and defeated Zhao. Han Xin beheaded Chen Yu, captured the prince of Zhao and destroyed Zhao.

After Zhao's death, Han Xin offered a reward for his capture. Soon, someone tied Li Zuoche to Han Xin's account. Han Xin untied him at once, made him sit facing the east, treated him with courtesy, and asked him about the strategy of attacking Qi and Yan. Li Zuoche believes that now the foot soldiers of the Han army are tired and their fighting capacity is greatly reduced. If we fight with Qi Yan and the two armies, the outcome is unpredictable. As a truce, Zhao Anmin sent soldiers to say that Ji Yan could decide. Han Xin adopted the new plan, but Yan didn't cut it.

No matter how smart a person is, he will be lost if he has more concerns; If you think hard, even fools will occasionally come up with good ideas.

Li Zuoche left a legacy to future generations: "A wise man sometimes nods; The famous saying "a fool gets what he thinks" comes from the historical records of Huaiyin Biography. There is also a military book "Guangwujun", which discusses the strategy of using troops and is widely circulated. Li Zuoche is very famous among the people, and is considered as the Hail God. In Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio Hail God, he tells the legendary story of hail in Zhangqiu, and filling ditches does not hurt crops.
