Mao Sui
Mao Sui (fl. 3rd century BC), was born in the
Zhao state (current
Hebei province) during the
Warring States period. He was a retainer of
Lord Pingyuan, namely Zhao Sheng. Mao lived in Zhao for three years but success eluded him. In 257 BC, after the
Battle of Changping, Zhao refused to cede territory to the
Qin. As a result, Qin attacked
Handan, the capital of Zhao. On its part, Zhao sought assistance from
the Chu state. Mao Sui recommended himself to the Chu State and was successful in persuading the Chu to assist Zhao. In return, Mao Sui gained fame, and it was widely believed that: "A good tongue of Mao Sui is stronger than a million soldiers."
