If you don't have a good breath, if you have a little Qi, you will be tired, if you have a bow and a hook, you will get a hundred hits.

After two weeks, he defeated Han and attacked Liang, but failed in one fell swoop. "It's better to call a man sick than not to come out."

Source translation

In the 34th year (281 BC), Su Li said to Zhou Jun, "Qin conquered Korea and the state of Wei, defeated general Shiwu of Wei, and went north to capture Lin and Lishi counties of Zhao. These were all from Bai Qigan. This man is good at using troops and has the help of God. Now he led his troops to attack the state of Liang. If the state of Liang was defeated, Zhou would be in danger. Why don't you send someone to persuade Bai Qi? You can say: "there is a yangyouji in the state of Chu who is good at archery. If you shoot from a hundred paces away from the willow leaves, you can hit a hundred goals. There are thousands of people in the left and right emperor's temple who say that he can shoot arrows well. But a man stood beside him and said, "OK, I can teach him archery." Yang Youji was very angry. He threw away his bow, held his sword and said, "what skills do you have to teach me to archery?"? The man said, "it's not that I can teach you how to stretch your left arm to hold the bow, how to bend your right arm to pull the bowstring. If a person does not stop at the best time of shooting, after a while, his strength will be weak, his body will be tired, his bow will not swing properly, and his arrow will not shoot straight. As long as one shot fails, all the 100 shots will be invalid. ". Now, you have conquered Korea and Wei, defeated Shiwu, and captured Lin and Lishi counties of Zhao to the north. Your contribution is great. Now you are leading your troops out of yique fortress. After two weeks, you will turn your back to South Korea and attack the state of Liang. If you fail this time, you will abandon the front attack. You might as well pretend that you are ill and don't go out to attack the state of Liang. "
