Snipe and clam quarreled
Zhao Qie attacked Yan, and Su Dai said to King Hui of Yan: "Now when I come and cross the Yi River, the clam comes out and the snipe pecks at it. The snipe said: "If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, there will be dead clams!" The clam also said to the snipe: "If it doesn't come out today, and it won't come out tomorrow, there will be dead snipe!" The two are unwilling to give up. If the fishermen get it, they will capture it together. Yan and Zhao have been fighting against each other for a long time, and they are afraid that they will be the father of fishermen." He said: "Good!" and stopped.
Translation: The State of Zhao was about to attack the State of Yan, so Su went to persuade King Zhao Hui on behalf of the State of Yan: "When I came today, when I was crossing the Yishui River, I saw an old clam that was afraid of coming out to bask in the sun, but A snipe came and pecked at its meat. The clam immediately closed its two shells and just caught the snipe's beak. The snipe said, "If it doesn't rain today and it doesn't rain tomorrow, you're dead, little clam." He said: "If you can't pull your mouth out today, and you can't pull it out tomorrow, you will be the one waiting to die." Both of them refused to give up, and at this time an old fisherman happened to walk by and caught them both. Now Zhao is attacking Yan, and the long-term stalemate between Yan and Zhao is not good for either. I am afraid that the powerful Qin State will become a fisherman. So please, Your Majesty, consider this matter carefully. King Zhao Hui said: "Okay." "So the plan to attack the State of Yan was stopped.
