Military strategist Li Zuoche
In October of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, a general around Liu Bangpa, led an army of more than 10,000 people, crossed the Taihang Mountains and marched eastward to attack Zhao, the vassal state of Xiang Yu. At this point, he and the commander-in-chief concentrated 200,000 troops in Jingxingkou, Taihang Mountain, occupying favorable terrain and preparing for a decisive battle with Han Xin. Li Zuoche thinks that the foot soldiers of the Han army are hungry and tired. The terrain here is dangerous, and the horses and chariots can't go hand in hand. They can only defend and can't attack. As long as it is strictly observed, it can be foolproof. So, he told Zhao's coach his interest and invited 30,000 troops to start from the path and cut off the food and grass of the Han army. From here, Li Zuoche's military plan can be reflected. Unfortunately, teammates didn't give strength, which eventually led to Zhao's demise.
In addition, Li Zuoche enjoys a high reputation among the people and is regarded as the god of hail. Long live Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. Zhangqiu has one.

As for his death, it should be due to illness. No relevant history.
At that time, Han Xin killed Zhao's general Chen Yu, captured Zhao Wang and defeated Zhao. Later, Han Xin ordered a reward for the capture of Li Zuoche. Soon after, someone caught and kidnapped Li Zuoche and sent him to Han Xin's account. Han Xin untied him as soon as he saw it, let him sit facing east and treat him with courtesy, and then asked him about the strategy of attacking and destroying Qiyan. Li Zuoche believes that after the last war, the soldiers of the Han army were exhausted and their fighting capacity was greatly reduced. If they fight the armies of Qi and Yan, the result is hard to predict. It is better to stop the war by pressing armour and send people to surrender by force, just like a trick to defeat Qi and Yan. So Han Xin adopted Li Zuoche's strategy to conquer Yan.
Later, in order to contain Han Xin, Liu Bang transferred Li Zuoche to Liu Yuxi's side and asked him to help himself. Li Zuoche taught Liu Ying to train in the mountains outside Xingyang. Therefore, this mountain was named Guangwu Mountain. After Han Xin was killed, Li Zuoche resigned from his post and lived in seclusion, concentrating on the mountains, cultivating his mind and realizing the Tao. Since then, there has been no news, so his death should be due to old age and illness.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Li Zuoche returned to Haiquan Village, an ancestral home in Anqiu, Shandong Province, asked friends and relatives around him and found his ancestral home, so he lived an idyllic life here and was dehydrated.
As for where he was buried after his death, due to the lack of relevant historical materials, there are still doubts about the location of his real cemetery. As many as five graves are known to be credible. According to the investigation, there are many tombs in Li Zuoche in China, which are distributed in Yuanshi County, Shenzhou, Hengshui, Tongxu, Kaifeng, Henan, Shandong and other places. Although some of these cemeteries have been proved to have nothing to do with Li Zuoche, just like his own story, their graves are still in coastal cities.
However, in order to show his loyalty, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang named him "Yin", built a temple for sacrifice, and named him "Fu Shen". Among the people, Li Zuoche has great prestige and many legends are circulating. One of the most famous is the legend of the appearance of Hail God. According to legend, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a drought in Chu in the south of the Yangtze River, which was called the land of plenty. The crops withered, the seedlings dried up and there was no harvest at all. It didn't rain until the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. Only buckwheat can be planted at this time and this season, but seeds are hard to find. When the people were helpless, an old man with a long beard, a wide face and white hair appeared in the streets and alleys of various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and gave a car full of even buckwheat seeds to the people for free. When people asked the man where his home was, he replied, "I'm Lao Li from Hail Spring." After the autumn harvest of buckwheat, the people passed the famine year safely.
