During the turbulent historical period from the end of Qin to the beginning of Han, many famous historical figures emerged, such as Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and the Three Heroes of the early Han Dynasty. In Chinese history, whenever there are troubled times, there are always some counselors who are talented and good at strategies. This was true during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was also true during the period of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony at the end of Qin Dynasty. Speaking of counselors in this historical period, the most famous ones are Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and Fan Zeng. In fact, in addition to these three people, there are two other people who are not as famous as them, but to some extent, they are not inferior to them in terms of strategy. One is Kuai Tong and the other is Li Zuoche.

Li Zuoche’s grandfather is quite famous, and can be described as famous. He is Li Mu, one of the four celebrities of the Zhao family. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The six kingdoms destroyed by Qin Shihuang took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation. Zhao Wangxie also restored his country in Zhao's hometown. As Li Mu's grandson, Li Zuoche naturally wanted to assist Zhao Wangxie. During the Battle of Jingxing, Li Zuoche thought that Han Xin and Zhang Er's troops had traveled thousands of miles and their soldiers were exhausted. Moreover, the terrain of Jingxing is not conducive to chariots and horses. It is recommended to hold on to Jingxing and advocate dividing the troops to cut off Han Xin's food and grass. But coach Chen Yuli took the lead and did not adopt his plan. As a result, Han Xin first ambushed the Zhao camp with light cavalry, and then at the last stop, the main force came out of Jingxingkou to defeat the Zhao army and was killed. Zhao Wangxie was captured and escaped, and Zhao was destroyed. Judging from the process of this campaign, there is no doubt that Li Zuoche's advice and suggestions were quite correct, but coach Chen Yu didn't listen, so he was helpless!

After Li Zuoche escaped, Han Xin learned about Li Zuoche's abilities and offered a reward for his capture. The purpose is not to kill him, but to take possession of him. Soon, Li Zuoche was captured and escorted to Han Xin's account. Han Xin humbly asked him for advice on how to eliminate Yan and Qi. At this time, Li Zuoche left a famous saying that will be passed down through the ages: "If a wise man worries, he will lose; if a fool worries, he will gain something." He advocated that it is not appropriate to attack Yanqi at the moment, but should provide pensions to the people and reward the soldiers. , and at the same time advanced towards Yan with superior troops to create momentum and force Yan to obey. Once King Yan surrenders, Qi will also surrender. To put it simply, it is to cultivate students' physique, comfort soldiers, and appease people's hearts with virtue. Use force to intimidate, win people's hearts with benevolence, justice and morality, and use benevolence, justice and prestige to force the enemy to submit.

This strategy was very strategic, because at that time Han Xin went north to open up a new battlefield, aiming to form a pincer attack on Xiang Yu, but Han Xin did not have enough troops. If the two countries forcefully attack, Yan Qi will not be able to take it in a short time. When Xiang Yu's reinforcements arrive, the situation may change. Han Xin adopted Li Zuoche's strategy, and sure enough, this was a Yan country.

Han Xin established a firm foothold in Tiqi, and Liu Bang discovered Li Zuoche's talent. Afraid that having him by Han Xin's side would make Han Xin stronger, he was transferred from Tiqi and asked to assist Liu Yuxin. After Han Xin was killed, Li Zuoche resigned and lived in seclusion.

Zhang Liang Stiles

From the late Qin Dynasty to the early Han Dynasty, Li Zuoche had outstanding strategies and extremely high military literacy. Although there are not many strategies in history books, it can be seen from his contribution to Zhao Haoqi, Chen Yu and Han Xin that Li Zuoche not only had a unique strategic vision, but also had a tactical strategy comparable to Zhang Liang. It is a pity that history did not give him more opportunities and stages to display his talents.
