When it comes to lobbyists, many people look down on them, saying that they are playing tricks and will only talk emptyly and have no practical effect, but the role played by the two major lobbyists around Liu Bang, Li Shiqi and Lu Jia, cannot be underestimated, and Li Shiqi stole the limelight of Han Xin and made Qi Wang Tian Guang take the initiative to surrender.

Lu Jia was a native of the Chu state, a famous lobbyist around Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, and a famous person with Li Shiqi. Liu Bang attributed the reason for his ability to defeat Xiang Yu to the help of the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty", in fact, it was the key to the problem to win over the princes to establish an anti-Chu alliance, and in the final battle, the Chu army was defeated by the combined forces of the princes commanded by Han Xin, rather than by the Han army alone. Liu Bang could not have lobbied the princes himself, so he sent lobbyists, and the most powerful lobbyists under him were Li Shiqi and Lu Jia.

Liu Bang did not want to continue to use troops to the outside world, and his main experience after establishing the Western Han Dynasty wanted to focus on stabilizing the political situation and dealing with princes with different surnames, so he recognized Wei's rule over South Vietnam and gave him the seal of the King of Nanyue.

Lu Shengyinjin said to him: "The foot is Chinese, and the tomb of the relative Kundi is in Zhending." This foot is against nature, abandoning the crown belt, and wants to make the enemy of the Son of Heaven with the mere transgression of the Heavenly Son, and the disaster will be ruined. ——" The Biography of Lu Jialie, Li Sheng
Lu Jia knew that people like Wei Him must let him know that he was afraid, otherwise he would not be at ease and obedient, and he said to Wei: "You are a Han Chinese, your ancestors have lived in the Central Plains for generations, and the graves of your ancestors are in the Central Plains." Now that you have forgotten your ancestors, you have given up your etiquette, and you want to use the land of Nanyue to fight against the Great Han, and as the enemy of the Great Han, I am afraid that you will soon be in trouble with yourself and great trouble! I'm really worried about you! ”
"And Fu Qin lost his government, and the princes rose up together, but the king of Han entered the pass first, according to Xianyang. Xiang Yu doubled his name as the king of Western Chu, and all the princes belonged to it, which can be described as the supreme. However, the king of Han raised up Bashu, flogged the world, robbed the princes, and then cursed Xiang Yu to destroy it. In five years, the sea was pacified, this is not manpower, the heavens are built. ——" The Biography of Lu Jialie, Li Sheng
Then Lu Jia greatly boasted about Liu Bang's ability, saying: "Qin has no way, the crowd rises together, among these people, only Liu Bang, the king of Han, entered Guanzhong and occupied Xianyang, and according to the reason, Liu Bang wants to be crowned king." However, Xiang Yu violated the covenant and established himself as the overlord of Western Chu, dividing up the princes of the world and acting perversely. Liu Bang obeyed the Mandate of Heaven, and in only five years, he destroyed Xiang Yu and then unified the world, which was not something that human beings could achieve, which was called the Return of the Mandate of Heaven. ”
"The Son of Heaven heard of the king of Nanyue, did not help the world to rebel, and cursed the king for wanting to move his troops, and the Son of Heaven pitied the people for their new hardships, so he rested, and sent his ministers to grant the king's seal and dissect the messenger." - "The Biography of Lu Jialie"
Lu Jia said that Liu Bang was the son of heavenly destiny, so why not clean up after him? Lu Jia said: "Originally, Liu Bang heard that you were king in South Vietnam and did not help him to oppose Qin and destroy Chu, and his generals also advised him to send troops to attack you, but Tianzi pitied the people who suffered from war and did not want to continue the conquest, so he refused their request." Let me come to South Vietnam and reward the king with a letter and confess your throne as long as you are a subject of the Great Han!" ”
"The king shall be greeted by the outskirts of the country, and the north shall be called a vassal, but he shall bend here with the new creation of the unfinished cross.

Lu Jia saw that his face had changed, he knew that this Nanyue king was no longer so confident, he took advantage of the hot iron and said: "Facing the envoys of the Great Han, you as the king of Nanyue must have the appearance of a king, you should go to the outskirts to meet the emissaries of Shangbang, and consciously call yourself a vassal." If you don't do this, first of all your clan will be destroyed, the graves of your ancestors will be excavated, and at the same time, sending a partial general with an army of 100,000 people can destroy your projectile land, which is simply easy for the Han! ”

Wei He listened to Lu Jia's words, stood up at once, and said to Lu Jia, "I have been in this barbaric land for too long, and I have forgotten the etiquette of the Central Plains, so I have just been disrespectful, please don't be surprised!"

Lu Jia knew that Wei was the lord of a country after all, and wanted to save face, so he said, "You seem to be stronger than them!"

Fu Yue: "Who am I with the Emperor Xian?" Lu Sheng said: "The emperor rose up from abundance, begs qin, curses Chu, and eliminates harm for the benefit of the world, and inherits the business of the five emperors and three kings to rule China."

Now the kings are only hundreds of thousands, all barbarians, rugged mountains and seas, for example, if Han is a county, the king is better than Han! ——" The Biography of Lu Jialie, Li Sheng
Wei Wei asked again, "You said that Liu Bang and I are stronger than each other?" Lu Jia said: "The emperor raised an army in Fengpei, rebelled against the tyrannical Qin, attacked Western Chu, and avoided harm for the sake of the world, which is the cause of inheriting the three emperors and five emperors, the population of the Central Plains is hundreds of millions of miles, the square circle is thousands of miles, and the government and decrees are unified, which is something that has never been done since the opening of the world."

"The more I was born, I would never hear anything." "Give Lu Sheng a thousand gold in the middle of the bridge, and he will send a thousand gold." - "The Biography of Lu Jialie"

Although he had a hard mouth, he was not strong, and he and Lu Jia drank and had fun all day, and it was a few months at once. He said to Lu Jia, "Although I have become the king of Nanyue, it is quite painful, the people here are barbarians, there is no culture, there is not even a person who can speak, after you came, I finally found Zhiyin, every day I can hear some interesting things!" He did not spare gold and silver, he used a large amount of gold and silver to give to Lu Jia, the purpose of course is to let Lu Jia speak in front of Liu Bang, to keep his position as the king of Nanyue, after all, he is a foreigner, he must always resist the counterattack of internal opposition forces, accept Liu Bang's reward, can create a momentum for himself, let Liu Bang as a foreign aid, and pose a strong deterrent to internal opposition forces.

And Tang Wu took it against the grain and kept it in accordance with it, and used both literature and martial arts, and the art of longevity also.
