The historical stories of Neihuang are arranged.

Zhao Haoqi, the king of Qin, asked Zhao for Baoyu and Choi under the guise of fifteen cities. Wang Huiwen of Zhao knew his trick and did not dare to resist. Lin Xiangru recommended himself to go to the State of Qin with Bi, only to find that the King of Qin was insincere. He personally tried the oil tripod. He was in charge of the righteous cause of Qin and returned to Zhao after the Great Wall was completely broken. Zhao Haoqi of Qin also gave a banquet in Mianchi, inviting the prince of Zhao to attend the meeting, accompanied by Lin Xiangru. During the dinner, the king of Qin insulted the king of Zhao by playing drums and musical instruments, but he was humiliated by the other side. Zhao Cheng, the king of Qin, was refuted by Lin Chong. Zhao Wang Lian Po returned home safely. The prince of Zhao named Lin Xiangru as the phase, but Lian Po refused to accept it. He insulted each other many times and avoided each other. Later, Lian Po knew, repented and offered a humble apology. The story of "General Hehe" comes from Sima Qian's Historical Records? Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru. This article consists of three stories: "All belong to Zhao", "Mianchi Meeting" and "Making friends with Lianlin" (or "offer a humble apology").

The word "Bi" in "Return to Zhao intact" refers to "He". It is the name of a piece of Baoyu, which has an extraordinary origin. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, a man named Bian He found a piece of jade (that is, unprocessed jade) in Chushan and presented it to Li, the king of Chu. Li Guowang asked experts to identify jade, and the result was stone. Li was furious and thought that Bian He had deceived himself and cut off Bian He's left foot on charges of deceiving the monarch. Soon after, Li died and succeeded to the throne, and Bian He presented this jade to him. King Wu also invited experts to identify jade, which turned out to be stone. King Wu also cut off Bian He's right foot because he cheated the king. After the death of King Wu, King Wen succeeded to the throne. Bian He held Yupu to Chushan's feet and cried for three days and nights. Tears dried up, and finally I cried blood. When King Wen heard this, he sent someone to ask him, "There are many people in the world whose feet have been cut off. They won't cry like this. Why are you crying like this? " Bian He replied, "I'm not sad or crying because my foot was cut off. I am sad that someone actually called Baoyu a stone and accused a loyal person of cheating. " King Wen sent someone to process this jade pu, and it really is a rare treasure jade. So I named this treasure jade "He Shibi". Because of its rarity and extraordinary origin, this kind of Baoyu has become a world-recognized treasure with great value. This is also the reason why the king of Qin did not hesitate to use the fifteen cities as bait to defraud "He Shibi". Lin Xiangru was not afraid of rape and risked his life. On the one hand, he returned to Zhao intact to safeguard national interests and fulfill his mission. On the other hand, it also lies in the preciousness of "harmony with stone".

Lian Po was a famous soldier of Zhao at the end of the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen was king, he was named Shangqing. He defeated Qi, Wei and other countries many times and made great contributions to Zhao. During the battle of Changping, the solid city wall was stuck for three years. Later, Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao fell into the trap of Qin State and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, which was a fiasco. Yan took the opportunity to attack Zhao. Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao saved Lian Po and defeated the Yan army. The Prince of Zhao named Lian Po as Xinping Army and Ren Xiangguo. When Zhao mourned the king, Lian Po went to Wei in dismay. Wei didn't trust him, so he never used it again. He went to the state of Chu and served as the general of the state of Chu. Finally, he died of old age in Chu.

Lin Xiangru was a minister of Zhao in the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen was king, he got the rare treasure jade of Chu, and Qin Guoqiang exchanged it with 15 cities. Lin Xiangru was ordered to take the jade to the state of Qin to fight with the king of Qin in court, and return it to the state of Zhao intact. Zhao Wang named Xiangru as a doctor. In 279 BC, he followed King Zhao Huiwen to Mianchi (now Mianchi West, Henan Province) to meet the King of Qin, so that the King of Zhao was not humiliated in Qin. After returning home, he was named Shangqing for his work, ranking above Lian Po, and Lian Po was indignant. Lin Xiangru puts national security first and tolerates Lian Po. Lian Po had an epiphany and apologized humbly. They became good friends. Turn a peaceful story into a beautiful talk

Lin Xiangru, whose birthplace and date of birth and death are unknown, was a courtier of Miao Xian, the eunuch leader of Zhao State, and a famous politician, diplomat and strategist during the Warring States Period.

Heshi wall storm

In 283 BC, King Huiwen of Zhao was awarded He Shibi of the State of Chu. According to legend, this treasure jade was discovered in the mountains by Bian He, a native of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Originally a piece of jade, it was presented to Li and Li successively. The jade worker said it was a stone, and the king was very angry. Bian He's left and right feet were cut off, and the king of Chu became king. Bian He is crying with Yuyu in the mountains. When King Wen knew about it, he had someone cut open the jade pu, and sure enough, he got a rare piece of jade, so he named it "Heshibi".

When Zhao Haoqi of Qin heard that Zhao Haoqi of Zhao had become the new owner of this treasure jade, he wanted it very much, so he sent an envoy to see King Zhao Huiwen. In the letter, he expressed his willingness to exchange fifteen cities of Qin for this treasure jade of Zhao.

After Zhao Huiwen received the letter, he couldn't make up his mind at the moment. He was very embarrassed, so he called General Lian Po and many other ministers to discuss countermeasures. If you give Choi and Choi to Qin, I'm afraid Qin won't really exchange fifteen cities and suffer in vain; If you don't give it, Qin Guoqiang and Zhao Weak, you are afraid that Qin will send troops to attack Zhao. In a dilemma, I want to send a special envoy to the state of Qin to negotiate, but I can't find a suitable candidate.

Be elected to Zhao Ting.

Just then, Miao, the eunuch, came out first and said, "I have a retainer named Lin Xiangru who is both wise and brave. It is better to send him to Qin. " The prince of Zhao asked, "How do you know he can go to the State of Qin? Miao Xian said to the king of Zhao, "I have offended the king of Zhao before, and I am afraid that you will be punished, and I plan to secretly flee to the state of Yan. When Lin Xiangru knew about it, he dissuaded me and said,' How do you know that the prince will accept you?' I told him:' I once followed the king to the border to meet the prince. At that time, the prince held my hand privately and expressed his willingness to make friends with me. Therefore, I decided to go to Yan State to take refuge in the Prince of Yan. "Lin Xiangru listened and said,' Zhao is stronger than Wei Yan, and you are the favorite of the prince of Zhao, so the prince is willing to make friends with you. Now you have offended the prince of Zhao. If you flee to the state of Yan, the prince of Yan is afraid of the state of Zhao and will never dare to take you in. He will only tie you up and send you back to Zhao. At that time, your life will be in jeopardy. Now, why don't you take off your clothes, lie naked on the axe and go to the king to confess your guilt and ask for punishment. The king is generous and kind, maybe you can get his forgiveness. I listened and did, and you really forgave me. Therefore, I think Lin Xiangru can go to the State of Qin and complete the task successfully. ”。

The king of Zhao sent for Lin Xiangru and asked, "Now the king of Qin wants to exchange 15 cities for Hebi. Can you promise? " Lin Xiangru said: "Qiang Qin Zhao Wei, we have to agree." The king of Zhao asked again, "What if the king of Qin won the city wall but refused to give it to Zhao?" Lin Xiangru said, "Yes, but the State of Qin exchanged fifteen cities for the Wall of Harmony. If Zhao disagrees, it will be our fault, and Qin will have an excuse to attack Zhao. " If Zhao gave the city wall to Qin, and Qin refused to give it to Zhao, then Qin would be in the wrong. Comparatively speaking, I think it's best to promise Qin to send the wall and let Qin bear the responsibility of unreasonable troubles. After a pause, he said, "I don't think there is a suitable candidate for the king now. I would rather go to Qin. If Qin really gave these cities to Zhao, I would leave Baoyu in Qin. "If Qin doesn't hand over the city, I will definitely bring Baoyu back intact."

Therefore, King Huiwen of Zhao appointed Lin Xiangru as the ambassador, and took Heshi wall from the west to make him the ambassador of Qin.

Qin Tingzhi has changed.

Qin Zhao met Lin Xiangru in Zhangtai (Qin Gongming, the former site of Xishui, Xi City, Shaanxi Province), and Lin Xiangru dedicated the wall to the king of Qin, who accepted it. Look at that brocade dress, it's white and flawless, with sparkling jewels and flawless carvings on it. This is really a rare treasure, and I am very happy. I handed it to the concubines, civil and military ministers and attendants in turn for appreciation. Everyone was amazed and cheered "Long live" to congratulate the king of Qin.

After that, for a long time, the king of Qin never talked about changing walls with the city. Lin Xiangru knew that the king of Qin would never change the city for the wall, and he had a plan. He said to the king of Qin, "This treasure jade is very good, but it has some flaws. Let me show it to the king. " Hearing this, the king of Qin handed over the city wall to him. Lin Xiangru held the wall, quickly retreated, leaned against the post, and his hair almost stood on end. He shouted to the king of Qin seriously, "Your Majesty wants this beautiful jade. Write to Wang Zhao. He promised to exchange fifteen cities. At that time, the king of Zhao called the minister of civil and military affairs to discuss, saying that Qin was insatiable and powerful, and wanted to defraud Baoyu of Zhao with a few empty words. No one agreed to send the wall. But I think: even if people make friends, they will not cheat each other, not to mention Qin is a big country. Besides, we can't damage the harmony between the two countries because of a wall. Wang Zhao listened to me, fasted for five days, wrote credentials, and then sent me as an envoy to take Baoyu to the State of Qin. Attitude is so respectful. But the king was so arrogant when he met me when the general left the palace. The king gave such a precious Baoyu to the ladies-in-waiting to watch at will, which was obviously teasing me and disrespecting Zhao. I don't think the king has the sincerity to exchange this city for the wall, so I want it back. If the king must force me, I would rather smash my head and this treasure jade on the post. " After that, he raised the wall and stared at the post, throwing it at the post on airs.

The King of Qin was afraid that Lin Xiangru would break the city wall, so he quickly apologized and asked him not to do so. Ask the official in charge of the map to send the map. The king of Qin spread out a map and told Lin Xiangru that fifteen cities from here to there could be divided among Zhao. Lin Xiangru thought that the king of Qin was just acting now and would never give the city to Zhao, so he said to the king of Qin; "This, like the city wall, is recognized as a treasure in the world. The prince of Zhao likes it very much, but he is afraid of the powerful state of Qin. I dare not give it to the king of Qin. When I sent this wall away, the king of Zhao fasted for five days and held a grand ceremony at the court. Now, if the king wants to accept this wall, he should fast for five days, and then hold a ceremony attended by nine guests in the court, and then I can dedicate this wall to the king. " The king of Qin believed that the city wall was in Lin Xiangru's hands, so he promised to fast for five days. Then, he sent someone to send Lin Xiangru to rest in Guangcheng Hotel.

When he arrived at the hotel, Lin Xiangru thought that although the king of Qin promised to fast for five days, he wouldn't really give the city to Zhao, so he chose a capable attendant, dressed him in coarse clothes, dressed him as an ordinary man, and quietly rushed back to Zhao from the path overnight. In addition, the king of Qin pretended to fast for five days and held a grand ceremony for nine guests in the court. The ministers of civil and military affairs were on both sides, and Lin Xiangru came to offer the wall.

Return to Zhao with a perfect wall.

When Lin Xiangru arrived at the imperial court, he bowed to the king of Qin and said, "Since Qin Mugong, there have been twenty-one kings in Qin, and none of them kept his promise. I was afraid that I was deceived by the King and felt sorry for Zhao, so I sent someone to take the city wall away from Qin. I was afraid that I had already arrived in Zhao. " The king of Qin was very angry. Lin Xiangru still calmly said: "Today's trend; Qin is very strong and Zhao is very weak, so the king sent a special envoy to the wall of Zhao, and no one dared to disobey. Send me to the wall at once. If Qin really ceded fifteen cities to Zhao for the Great Wall, how dare Zhao offend the king by asking for the cities of Qin? The crime of deceiving the monarch is so heinous that I have no hope of surviving Zhao. Now, please put me in a frying pan and boil me to death, so that the princes can know that Qin killed the envoy of Zhao for a wall, and the reputation of the king can spread everywhere. "

The plot of the king of Qin was completely exposed, and he could not refute it, so he had to smile bitterly. The minister bodyguard around the king of Qin suggested killing Lin Xiangru, but the king of Qin stopped him. The King of Qin said, "Even if Lin Xiangru is killed now, there will be no wall. On the contrary, it will damage the friendship between Qin and Zhao and the reputation of Qin. It is better to treat him well and let him go back to Zhao. "

Therefore, the king of Qin received Lin Xiangru in court according to the ceremony of nine guests; Then politely send him back to China. Later, Qin refused to give these fifteen cities to Zhao, and Zhao naturally did not give the city walls to Qin.

Mianchi Zhihui

In 282 BC, Qin sent generals to take Jian 'an (now Lishi County, Shanxi Province) and Qi (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province) of Zhao. The following year, the State of Qin sent troops to capture Shicheng of Zhao (now southwest of Park County, Henan Province); Another year later, we attacked Zhao again, and the two countries went to war. Zhao lost more than 20,000 soldiers, but Qin Jun's offensive also stopped.

In 279 BC (the twentieth year of King Zhao Huiwen), Zhao Haoqi, king of Qin, wanted to make peace with Zhao in order to concentrate on attacking Chu, so he sent envoys to Zhao to meet in Mianchi (now Mianchi County, Henan Province) outside Xihe River to enhance friendship. The prince of Zhao was afraid and couldn't think of going. General Lian Po discussed with the doctor Lin Xiangru that it was not good for the Prince of Zhao not to go. He advised Zhao Wang to go: "If Qin Wang doesn't go, it will appear that Zhao Guo is timid, so it is better to go." The prince of Zhao listened to Lian and Lin Xiangru's advice, and Lin Xiangru followed the prince of Zhao.

Lian Po led the army to send the prince of Zhao to the border, and they parted ways. He said to the prince of Zhao, "The round trip to Mianchi this time, plus the time for the meeting, is estimated to last no more than 30 days. In order to prevent accidents, if the king has not returned after this date, please allow us to make the prince king, so as to cut off the idea of Qin detaining the king and threatening Zhao. " Wang Zhao agreed. Lian Po also deployed a large number of troops on the border to guard against the attack of Qin.

Forcing the king of Qin to attack

When I arrived at Mianchi, I met the King of Qin, and the two sides saluted each other, so we chatted at the banquet. Halfway through the wine, the king of Qin said to the king of Zhao, "I heard that you like playing the piano. I have a harp here, so please play a tune to add fun! " The prince of Zhao dared not refuse, so he had to play a song. At this time, the imperial censor of Qin came and wrote on the bamboo slips: On a certain day, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao gave a banquet in Mianchi, and the king of Qin ordered the king of Zhao to play the piano.

Seeing this displeasure, Lin Xiangru went up to the king of Qin and said, "The king of Zhao heard that the king of Qin was good at playing clay pots. I have a hammer here. Please knock it and make everyone happy. " The king of Qin flew into a rage and refused to agree. Lin Xiangru took the ribbon and gave it to the king of Qin, who still refused to knock at the door. Lin Xiangru said, "Now I am only five steps away from the King. If the king doesn't agree, I will fight to the death and spill blood all over you. " It means fighting hard with the king of Qin.

Seeing that the king of Qin was threatened, the bodyguard of the king of Qin drew his sword to kill Lin Xiangru. Lin Xiangru stare eyes, drink, guards repeatedly retreat. The king of Qin was very unhappy and had to knock on the door several times. Lin Xiangru turned to the advice of the King of Zhao and wrote: On a certain day in a certain year, the King of Zhao and the King of Qin gave a banquet in Mianchi, and the King of Zhao ordered the King of Qin to knock chopsticks to entertain him.

When the ministers of Qin saw that the king of Qin did not take advantage, they said, "Please give the king of Zhao fifteen cities for his birthday!" Lin Xiangru did not show weakness and said, "Please ask the king of Qin to take Xianyang (the capital of Qin State, now the east of Xianyang County, Shaanxi Province) to bless the king of Zhao!"

Until the end of the banquet, in order to safeguard the dignity of the country, Lin Xiangru bravely and tactfully waged a tit-for-tat and indomitable struggle with the monarch and minister of Qin State, and defeated the plot of Qin State. Wang Jian also knew that Lian Po was stationed at the border with a great army, and the use of force was not clever, so he had to respectfully send Zhaojun and his subjects home. After that, the war between Qin and Zhao was temporarily stopped.

Lian Po

Lian Po, an outstanding military general of Zhao during the Warring States Period, was born and died in an unknown year. The main activities were in Huiwen, Zhao Haoqi (298-266 BC), Cheng Xiao, Zhao Haoqi (266-245 BC) and Daoxiang, Zhao Haoqi (245-236 BC).

At the beginning of Zhao Huiwen's reign, Qi was the most powerful country among the six eastern countries, and Qi and Qin were both powerful countries in the East and the West. When he wanted to expand his power in the East, Zhao was the first person to do so. In order to clear the obstacles, the king of Qin sent troops to attack Zhao many times. Lian Po led Zhao's army to defeat Qin Jun many times, forcing Qin to change its strategy and unite. In the fifty-fourth year (the first 258 years), King Huiwen made peace with Zhao in Zhongyang (now the west of Zhongyang County, Shanxi Province). In order to unite the divisions of Korea, Yan, Wei and Zhao to jointly crusade against Qi, the Qi army was defeated. Among them, in the 16th year of King Huiwen (the first 283 years), Lian Po led the army of Zhao to cut Qi, marched straight into it, captured Jin Yang (now Dancheng West, Shandong Province, was originally a patriotic place, and later belonged to Qi), became a vassal, and Zhao became the first of the six countries. Lian Po moved troops back to Korea and worshipped Shangqing (Shangqing was the highest-ranking civil servant at that time, equivalent to the later prime minister). The State of Qin was unwilling to rashly attack Zhao, only because of Lian Po's power. Since then, Lian Po led the army to fight, defended resolutely, captured and won almost every battle, which had a great influence on other countries.

In the thirty-second year of Zhou Nanwang (in the 16th year of Zhao Huiwen's reign, in the first 283 years), Qiang Qin was willing to exchange fifteen cities. Zhao sent Lin Xiangru to the State of Qin, while Lin Xiangru was just a "Scheeren" under the eunuch Miao Xian. Miao first recommended it to King Huiwen, and then took "He Shibi" as the envoy of Zhao State to Qin State. Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao with great wisdom and courage, and achieved diplomatic victory over Qin.

Later, Qin conquered Zhao and occupied Shicheng. King Huiwen of Zhao attacked Zhao again in nineteen years, killing twenty thousand Zhao troops. At this time, the king of Qin wanted to make peace with the king of Zhao in Mianchi (now Mianchi County, Henan Province), and the king of Zhao was very afraid and unwilling to go. Lian Po and Lin Xiangru discussed that they should show Zhao's strength and courage. Zhao Wang walked with Lin Xiangru, and Lian Po saw him off. He said to the prince of Zhao alone, "Your majesty's trip is only thirty days. If you don't return it within 30 days, please ask the prince to cut off the hope that Qin will blackmail Zhao. " Lian Po's general demeanor and careful arrangement strengthened the image of the king of Zhao. At the same time, because he was as humble as Mianchi when dealing with the king of Qin at the meeting, he responded to the various means used by the king of Qin without weakness, which not only saved the reputation of Zhao, but also shocked the king of Qin and his ministers. Finally, Zhao Wang returned safely.

After the meeting, the prince of Zhao "made great contributions to each other and worshipped him as a minister", ranking above Lian Po. Lian Po was dissatisfied with Lin Xiangru's title of Shangqing, and thought that he, as a general of Zhao, had made great contributions in attacking deserted cities and expanding territory, while Lin Xiangru, who was in a low position, was above me just by talking, which was intolerable. He publicly threatened to humiliate Lin Xiangru in public. When Lin Xiangru knew this, he didn't want to compete with Lian Po, but took a forbearing attitude. In order not to make Lian Po rank lower than himself in the court, he admitted that he was ill every time. Sometimes, when Lin Xiangru goes out by car and sees Lian Po coming from a distance, he simply leads the car to avoid it. This aroused the dissatisfaction of Lin Xiangru Scheeren, and Lin Xiangru explained: "Compared with Lian Po, the tiger-like king of Qin, like Qiang Qin, dared to scold him and humiliate his ministers in court. Will I still be afraid of Lian Po? Qiang Qin did not dare to send troops to Zhao because Lian Po and I were both officials in North Korea. If we fight each other, it's like killing two birds with one stone. The reason why I avoided him was nothing more than putting the national crisis above personal grievances. " Lian Po was deeply moved after hearing this. He chose the day when Lin Xiangru had the most guests. He came to Lin Xiangru's home with thorns on his back and bare arms, demanding that Lin Xiangru be punished. From then on, the two became friends, and they lived and died together.

The story of "harmony is the most important thing" was expressed by later generations in various literary forms, and its strong patriotic feelings made people cry and moved people to work hard. And Lian Po's courage to mend after the sheep is dead, sincere and frank personality, makes people feel more amiable and lovely.

In the twentieth year of King Huiwen of Zhao (278 BC), Lian Po attacked the State of Qi eastward and defeated an army of the State of Qi. In the second year of Zhao Huiwen's twentieth year (276 BC), he cut Qi again and captured Jiucheng. In the second year, Lian Po attacked Wei and captured Fangling (now twenty miles south of Anyang, Henan Province) and Anyang City (now forty-three miles southwest of Anyang County, Henan Province). It is precisely because of the friendship between Lian and Lin that Zhao was United and devoted to serving the country, which made Zhao once strong and became a barrier for eastern governors to stop Qin from advancing eastward. 10 years later, Qin dared to attack Zhao.

In 266 BC, Emperor Zhao Huiwen died and became the Emperor of Zhou. At this time, at the request of Fan Sui, the State of Qin adopted the strategy of "making friends with Qi and Chu" and attacked small countries around it. In the fifty-fifth year of Zhou Nanwang (260 BC), the State of Qin attacked Shangdang in North Korea. After the South Korean garrison entered the DPRK, it was isolated and helpless, so the Taishou held a banquet for Zhao. As a result, there was a war between Qin and Zhao in Shangdang area. At this time, Zhao She was dead, Lin Xiangru was seriously ill, and only Lian Po was in charge of military affairs. Therefore, Lian Po was ordered to lead 200,000 Zhao troops to stop Qin Jun in Changping (now northwest of Gaoping County, Shaanxi Province). At that time, Qin Jun seized the wild king from the south (now Qinyang, Henan) and joined the small party from the north (now central Shanxi), cutting off the connection between Changping and the south, and his morale was strong. However, the Zhao army came from afar, not only at a disadvantage, but also in a passive and unfavorable position. Faced with this situation, Lian Po correctly adopted the operational policy of establishing base areas, consuming the enemy's physical strength and attacking the enemy with cameras. He ordered Zhao to build a tight barrier by virtue of the mountain danger. Despite Qin Jun's several challenges, Lian Po always stopped the crowd. At the same time, he concentrated on the people in Shangdang area, engaged in battlefield transportation, and devoted himself to building fortifications to resist the work of Qin State. Zhao was heavily guarded, unable to fight again, and his morale gradually lost. In order to defeat Qin Jun's plan of a quick victory, Lian Po fought hard for three years. Seeing that a quick victory was not enough, Wang Jian put forward countermeasures and convinced the prince of Zhao that Wang Jian was most worried and afraid of replacing Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Wang was eager to win and finally fell into the trap. He believed that Lian Po was afraid of war, forced him to resign from his post in Lian Po and used Zhao Kuo as his general. Although Lin Xiangru remonstrated and pointed out that Zhao Kuo, an armchair strategist, was not suitable for this task, the prince of Zhao refused to listen and appointed Zhao Kuo as the general. After Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Po, Lian Po's strategic plan was completely changed and many officers were replaced. Seeing that Zhao Kuo was used as a general, Qin secretly asked An Jun of Wu to lead troops to attack Zhao in Tian Lei. He defeated Zhao Kuo army in Changping, shot and killed Zhao Kuo, and entrapped more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers. In the battle of Zhao Changping, Zhao lost 450,000 people.

After the battle of Changping, Qin took the opportunity to surround Handan, the capital of Zhao (see the battle of Handan), which lasted more than a year. Fortunately, Wei's son Xin stole the military symbol and saved him, but his national strength dropped greatly.

Yan took Zhao Zhida's injury to Changping, and Prime Minister Li Zhibu was the general. In the fifty-sixth year of Qin Dynasty (the first 25 years1year), in view of the situation of Zhao, "the strong are all in Changping, but they are not strong", they sent troops to attack Zhao. Zhao named Lian Po as a general and commanded the famous Zhizhi War. He divided the whole army into two roads. One, led by Lecheng, went straight to Daidi to fight the Yanjun on the West Road, and the other led by himself, and confronted the main force of Yanjun in Juancheng (now Baixiang County, Hebei Province). Lian Po commanded Zhao to jointly defend the land and adopted the tactics of concentrating forces to attack the enemy head-on. He won the first battle, defeated the enemy and knocked off the arrogance of the Yan army. Then, he led the Zhao army to defeat the main force of the Yan army, and cut open the chestnuts' belly. Commander-in-Chief Yan Jun fled after being beheaded. Lian Po seized the opportunity of the retreat of the Yan army, and ordered the Zhao army to pursue 56-point attack and drive five hundred miles. In the first 250 years, he entered Ji (now Beijing), the capital of Yan State. The prince of Yan was very happy when he saw that Yan was in danger, so he had to agree to all the requirements of Zhao, such as ceding five cities and making peace with Zhao. Lian Po was honored as prime minister for his work. About 67 years before and after Ren Xiangguo, Lian Po repeatedly repelled the invading enemy and waited for an opportunity to attack. In the first 245 years, troops were sent to capture Longyang (now the northwest of Neihuang County, Henan Province), indicating that Zhao's national strength had recovered.

Lian Po was expelled from Changping and went home. When he lost power, all his former clients left. When he was reused as a general, the public gathered again. Lian Po was very excited and asked them to retreat. The public told him that it was nothing strange. Now we make friends by buying and selling in the market. If you have the strength, we will follow you. If you have no right, we will leave. This is common sense in business. What's to complain about?

In the second year of Qin Shihuang (245 BC), Zhao Chengxiao died and his son Zhao Dunxiang succeeded to the throne. King Xiang listened to the slanderers of treacherous court official Guo Kai, dismissed Lian Po and sent Le Cheng to replace Lian Po. Angry at being excluded, Lian Po attacked Lecheng, and Lecheng escaped. Lian Po left Zhao and went to Liang of Wei (now Kaifeng, Henan). Lian Po lived in Daliang for a long time. Although Wang Wei took him in, he didn't trust and value him. Because Zhao was besieged by Qin Jun for many times, the prince of Zhao wanted to appoint Lian Po again, and Lian Po wanted to be appointed by Zhao again. The prince of Zhao sent Tang Jiu, the eunuch, to visit Lian Po with a pair of precious armor and four fast horses to see if Lian Po still had a chance. Lian Po's enemy, Guo Kai, secretly gave Tang Jiu a lot of money to speak ill of Lian Po, fearing that Lian Po would come to power again. After the envoy of Zhao met Lian Po, Lian Po ate a bucket of rice and ten catties of meat in front of him, and put on armor to show that he was still useful. But the messenger came back and reported to the king of Zhao: "General Lian is old, but he still eats well, but he sat with me and shit three times in a short time." The prince of Zhao thought Lian Po was old, so he was not appointed, and Lian Po never had a chance to serve his country again.

When Chu heard that Lian Po was in Wei, he secretly sent someone to welcome him to Chu. After Lian Po became the general of Chu, he made no achievements. He said, "I want to use Zhao people" (Biography of Historical Records, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru) shows my attachment to the villagers in my motherland. However, after all, Zhao failed to reuse him, which led to the depression of the famous generation who made great contributions to Zhao, and eventually died in Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) of Chu. More than ten years later, Zhao was destroyed by Qin (see the battle of Qin destroying Zhao).

Lian Po's mausoleum is located on the south slope of Niufangshan, Bagong Mountain, 7 kilometers north of Shouxian County. The tomb faces west and has a circumference of 300 meters. It borders the Huaihe River in the west and is surrounded by mountains in the north, south and east. A generation of romantic leads mountains and rivers, and heroic spirit stirs the future.

Lian Po was an outstanding military general in the Warring States Period. He fought for decades and besieged countless cities without failure. People are also worried that they dare to correct their mistakes. His whole life, as Sima Guang said, "Whether Lian Po is used or not is a matter of Zhao's survival. This can truly serve Yin Jian for future generations. " This conclusion not only summarizes the historical facts of Lian Po's life experience of honor and disgrace, but also reveals the important relationship between talents and the rise and fall of the country, which is really worth pondering by future generations.

The story "General Taiping" comes from Sima Qian's Biography of Historical Records Lian Po and Biography of Lin Xiangru. This article consists of three stories: "All belong to Zhao", "Mianchi Meeting" and "Making friends with Lianlin" (or "offer a humble apology").

The word "Bi" in "Return to Zhao intact" refers to "He". It is the name of a piece of Baoyu, which has an extraordinary origin. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, a man named Bian He found a piece of jade (that is, unprocessed jade) in Chushan and presented it to Li, the king of Chu. Li Guowang asked experts to identify jade, and the result was stone. Li was furious and thought that Bian He had deceived himself and cut off Bian He's left foot on charges of deceiving the monarch. Soon after, Li died and succeeded to the throne, and Bian He presented this jade to him. King Wu also invited experts to identify jade, which turned out to be stone. King Wu also cut off Bian He's right foot because he cheated the king. After the death of King Wu, King Wen succeeded to the throne. Bian He held Yupu to Chushan's feet and cried for three days and nights. Tears dried up, and finally I cried blood. When King Wen heard this, he sent someone to ask him, "There are many people in the world whose feet have been cut off. They won't cry like this. Why are you crying like this? " Bian He replied, "I'm not sad or crying because my foot was cut off. I am sad that someone actually called Baoyu a stone and accused a loyal person of cheating. " King Wen sent someone to process this jade pu, and it really is a rare treasure jade. So I named this treasure jade "He Shibi". Because of its rarity and extraordinary origin, this kind of Baoyu has become a world-recognized treasure with great value. This is also the reason why the king of Qin did not hesitate to use the fifteen cities as bait to defraud "He Shibi". Lin Xiangru was not afraid of rape and risked his life. On the one hand, he returned to Zhao intact to safeguard national interests and fulfill his mission. On the other hand, it also lies in the preciousness of "harmony with stone".

Lian Po was a famous soldier of Zhao at the end of the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen was king, he was named Shangqing. He defeated Qi, Wei and other countries many times and made great contributions to Zhao. During the battle of Changping, the solid city wall was stuck for three years. Later, Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao fell into the trap of Qin State and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, which was a fiasco. Yan took the opportunity to attack Zhao. Zhao Haoqi Cheng Xiao saved Lian Po and defeated the Yan army. The Prince of Zhao named Lian Po as Xinping Army and Ren Xiangguo. When Zhao mourned the king, Lian Po went to Wei in dismay. Wei didn't trust him, so he never used it again. He went to the state of Chu and served as the general of the state of Chu. Finally, he died of old age in Chu.

Lin Xiangru was a minister of Zhao in the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen was king, he got the rare treasure jade of Chu, and Qin Guoqiang exchanged it with 15 cities. Lin Xiangru was ordered to take the jade to the state of Qin to fight with the king of Qin in court, and return it to the state of Zhao intact. Zhao Wang named Xiangru as a doctor. In 279 BC, he followed King Zhao Huiwen to Mianchi (now Mianchi West, Henan Province) to meet the King of Qin, so that the King of Zhao was not humiliated in Qin. After returning home, he was named Shangqing for his work, ranking above Lian Po, and Lian Po was indignant. Lin Xiangru puts national security first and tolerates Lian Po. Lian Po had an epiphany and apologized humbly. They became good friends. Turn the story of Xianghe into a beautiful talk.

Let's briefly introduce the story of "Meeting": During the Warring States Period, Lin Xiangru, the counselor of the State of Zhao, was ordered to go to the State of Qin, and he lived up to his mission and returned to the State of Zhao. He also sent Wang Zhao to the Mianchi meeting organized by the King of Qin, so that Wang Zhao wouldn't be caught off guard. In order to reward Lin Xiangru's meritorious service, the Prince of Zhao named Lin Xiangru as Prime Minister. Lian Po, a veteran, prided himself on taking credit for this and refused to accept it. Instead, he deliberately provoked him many times. Lin Xiangru put national affairs first and always remained patient. Lian Po finally woke up and offered a humble apology to Lin Xiangru. Reconciliation with each other, help the country together, and the country will be safe.
