English Translation:
During the Warring States period, Zhao was besieged by the Qin army. Lord Pingyuan wanted to find twenty people to go to Chu for help. But he could only find nineteen, still one short. The retainer Mao Sui volunteered himself. Lord Pingyuan agreed, and Mao Sui indeed successfully persuaded the King of Chu to dispatch troops.
