〃For　a　genius　like　you；　it　is　nothing　extraordinary；〃　said　the　guest。

Zhou　Yu　again　seized　his　hand；　and　they　sat　down。

＇e＇　Su　Qin　was　prime　minister　of　six　states　during　the　Warring　States　period。　Su　Qin　was　the　leader　of　the　〃Perpendicular　Unionists〃；　the　diplomats　who　lobbied　a　group　of　states　from　north　to　south　to　make　war　with　Qin。　。。。。。

＇e＇　Zhang　Yi　was　prime　minister　of　Qin　during　the　Warring　States　period。　Zhang　Yi　was　the　leader　of　the　〃Horizontal　Unionists〃；　the　diplomats　who　persuaded　a　group　of　states　from　east　to　west　to　make　peace　with　Qin。　。。。。。

＇e＇　Li　Yiji　was　a　diplomat　and　adviser　of　Liu　Bang。　Li　Yiji　went　on　mission　to　discuss　peace　between　Liu　Bang　and　King　Tian　Guang　of　Qi。　Li　Yiji　demanded　a　ceasefire　as　condition　for　talk。　Tian　Guang　plied。　While　the　discussion　was　going　on；　Liu　Bang　attacked。　Tian　Guang　enraged　and　threw　Li　Yiji　into　boiling　oil。　。。。。。

＇e＇　Lu　Jia　was　a　philosopher；　diplomat；　and　counselor　to　Liu　Bang。　Author　of　〃New　Discourses〃　that　advocaded　goodness　and　justice　instead　of　harshness　and　punishment。　In　BC　196；　Liu　Bang　made　it　a　law　that　people　with　virtues　were　to　be　remended　to　the　government　for　office。　。。。。。

〃A　man　of　the　time；　I　have　found　a　proper　lord　to　serve。　In　his　service；　we　rely　upon　the　right　feeling　between　minister　and　prince　outside；　and　at　home　we　are　firm　in　the　kindly　feeling　of　relatives。　He　listens　to　my　words　and　follows　my　plans。　We　share　the　same　good　or　evil　fortune。　Even　when　the　great　old　persuaders　like　Su　Qin*；　Zhang　Yi*；　Lu　Jia*；　and　Li　Yiji*　lived　again；　even　when　their　words　poured　forth　like　a　rushing　river；　their　tongues　were　as　a　sharp　sword；　it　is　impossible　to　move　such　as　I　am！〃
