Lian Po's conversation

Lian Po is old enough to eat, which is a poem by Xin Qiji. In this poem, Xin Qiji wants to express his willingness to fight for the country and serve the motherland through this sentence. Lian Po is old enough to eat, which is actually an allusion from historical records. It was Lian Po who wanted to tell the prince of Zhao that he was still strong enough to kill the enemy.

Lian Po is a famous general of Zhao. He was brave and good at fighting, and made great contributions to Zhao. Together with Lin Xiangru, the prime minister of Zhao, he was highly valued by Li Douzai, the king of Zhao Huiwen. Later, after Zhao Huiwen's death, Lian Po's age gradually increased. After taking office, the new monarch has been worried about whether Lian Po can still have enough physical strength to support the consumption on the battlefield.

So he sent a soldier to explore the recent situation in Lian Po. Lian Po ate a bucket of rice and ten catties of meat in order to prove that he could go into battle to kill the enemy. But because the soldier was bought by the enemy, he reported to Zhao Guojun that Lian Po went to the toilet three times a meal, so Lian Po was never reused.
