Tell me about the little general.

Under the guise of fifteen cities, Xiang of Qin asked Zhao for Baoyu and Bi, but Zhao knew his tricks and didn't dare to resist. Lin Xiangru recommended himself to the State of Qin and found that the king of Qin was insincere. He personally tried the oil tripod. He was responsible for Qin's righteousness and returned it to Zhao after the complete wall. 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 with a drum instrument, but he was humiliated by the other side. Zhao Cheng, the king of Qin, was refuted by Lin. Lian Po, the prince of Zhao, returned home safely. The prince of Zhao named Lin Xiangru as the phase, but Lian Po refused. He repeatedly abused each other and avoided each other. Later, Lian Po found out, regretted it, and offered a humble apology. The story "General Datong" comes from Sima Qian's Historical Records? Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru. This article consists of three stories: "All Belongs to Zhao", "Mianchi Meeting" and "Connecting with the Forest" (or "Admit a humble apology").

The word "Bi" that "returned to Zhao intact" refers to "He". It's 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. King Li was furious and thought that Bian He was deceiving himself, so he cut off Bian He's left foot on charges of deceiving the monarch. Soon, Li Wang died and acceded to the throne. 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 ascended 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, saying, "Many people in the world don't cry like this because their feet have been cut off. Why are you crying like this? " Bian He replied, "I didn't cry because my foot was cut off. I am sad that someone actually called Baoyu a stone and accused a loyal minister of cheating. " King Wen sent someone to process this jade pu, which proved to be a rare treasure. So I named this treasure jade "He Shibi". Because of its rarity and extraordinary origin, this piece of Baoyu has become a world-recognized treasure, and its value is priceless. This is also the reason why the king of Qin did not hesitate to use the fifteen cities as bait to defraud the "harmony". Lin Xiangru was not afraid of rape and risked his life. On the one hand, he returned to Zhao intact in order to safeguard national interests and fulfill his mission. On the other hand, it also lies in the preciousness of "He".

Lian Po was a famous soldier of Zhao at the end of the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen proclaimed himself king, he was named Shangqing. He defeated Qi, Wei and other countries many times and made great contributions to Zhao. The battle of Changping was impregnable and blocked for three years. Later, Zhao Haoqi and Cheng Xiao fell into the trap of Qin and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, which was a fiasco. Yan took the opportunity to attack Zhao. Zhao Haoqi and Cheng Xiao revived Lian Po and defeated the Yan Army. Zhao Wang named Lian Po as Xinping Jun and Ren Xiangguo. Zhao mourned the king, but Lian Po was frustrated and defected to Wei. Wei didn't trust him, so he never used it again. He went to Chu State again and became a general of Chu State. Finally, he died of old age in Chu.

Lin Xiangru was a minister of Zhao in the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen became king, he got a rare treasure jade from Chu, which Qin Guoqiang exchanged with 15 city. Lin Xiangru was ordered to take the jade to court with the king of Qin and return it to Zhao intact. Zhao Wang made Xiangru a doctor. In 279 BC, he followed Zhao Huiwen to Mianchi (now Mianchi West, Henan Province) to meet the king of Qin, so that the king of Zhao would not be 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 endured an epiphany, offered a humble apology, and the two became close friends. Turn the story of Xianghe into beautiful talk.

Lin Xiangru, whose native place 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 angry. Bian He's left and right feet were cut off, and the king of Chu acceded to the throne. Bian He is crying on the mountain with Yuyu. When King Wen knew about it, he asked someone to cut open Yupu, and sure enough, he got a rare piece of jade, so he named it "Heshibi".

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

Zhao Huiwen got the letter and couldn't make up his mind at once. Embarrassed, he called General Lian Po and other ministers to discuss countermeasures. If the wall of Heshi is given to Qin, I am afraid that Qin will not really exchange fifteen cities and be cheated in vain; If you don't give it, Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, and you are afraid that Qin will send troops to attack Zhao. In a dilemma, I wanted to send a special envoy to the state of Qin to negotiate, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Be elected to Zhao Ting.

Just then, Miao Xian, the eunuch chief, came out and said, "I have a courtier 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 first said to the king of Zhao, "I have offended the king before, and I am afraid that you will be punished, and I plan to secretly escape to the state of Yan." When Lin Xiangru learned about this, he dissuaded me and said,' How do you know that the prince will accept you?' I told him:' Once I 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. So 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 sinned against the prince of Zhao. If you flee to the state of Yan, the prince is afraid 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 in person to confess your guilt and ask for punishment. The king is kind, maybe you can get his forgiveness. I listened and did, and you really forgave me. So 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 fifteen 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 seized the city wall and refused to give it to Zhao?" Lin Xiangru said, "That's true, but 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 the city to Zhao, then Qin would be in the wrong. Comparatively speaking, I think it is 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 the king has a suitable candidate 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 bring Baoyu back unscathed."

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

Qin Tingzhi has changed.

King Qin Zhao received Lin Xiangru at Zhangtai (the name of Qin Gong, the former site of Xi Xishui, Shaanxi Province), and Lin Xiangru dedicated the wall to the king of Qin, who accepted it. Look at the brocade symbol again. It turns out to be pure white and flawless, with jewels and flawless carving. 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, and everyone cooed "Long live" and congratulated 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 wall with the city, 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 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 prince of Zhao called the minister of civil and military affairs to discuss, saying that Qin was insatiable and powerful, and wanted to trick Baoyu into 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. In addition, we can't hurt the harmony between the two countries because of a wall. So I listened to my words, fasted for five days, wrote my credentials and sent me to see Qin. Attitude is so respectful. But the king met me when the general left the palace, and his attitude was so arrogant. The king casually handed over such precious Baoyu to the maid-in-waiting attendants to watch, which was obviously teasing me and disrespecting Zhao. I don't think the king has the sincerity to exchange the 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. " With that, he raised the wall, stared at the post and threw it at it on airs.

The king of Qin was afraid that Lin Xiangru would hit the wall, so he apologized and told him not to do that. One side asked the official in charge of the map to send the map. The king of Qin spread out a map and said to Lin Xiangru, fifteen cities from here to there are ready to be distributed to Zhao. Lin Xiangru thought that the king of Qin was just putting on airs 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. Dare not give it to the king of Qin. When I sent this wall away, the prince of Zhao fasted for five days and held a grand ceremony in the court. Now, if the king wants to accept this wall, he should fast for five days and then hold a ceremony for nine guests in court before I can dedicate this wall to the king. " The king of Qin thought that Lin Xiangru had the wall, so he promised to fast for five days. Then, he sent someone to send Lin Xiangru to Guangcheng Hotel to rest.

When he arrived at the hotel, Lin Xiangru thought that although the king of Qin promised to fast for five days, he would not really give the city to Zhao, so he chose an effective attendant, dressed him in coarse clothes, dressed as an ordinary person, 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 of nine guests in the court. The ministers of civil and military affairs were on both sides, ordering Lin Xiangru to offer the wall.

Return the perfect wall in Zhao Yi.

Lin Xiangru came to the imperial court, saluted 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 of being cheated by the king and felt sorry for Zhao, so I sent someone to take the city wall from Qin, and I was afraid that I had already arrived in Zhao. " The king of Qin was very angry. Lin Xiangru still said calmly: "Today's trend; Qin Guoqiang, Zhao Weak, and Qi Weiwang sent messengers to the wall of Zhao, who dared not disobey. Send me to the wall at once. Now, if Qin really ceded 15 cities to Zhao Guolai in exchange for the Great Wall, how dare Zhao Guo demand the cities of Qin to offend the king? The crime of deceiving the monarch is so heinous that I have no hope of survival. Now, please put me in a frying pan and boil me to death, so that the ministers can know that Qin killed Zhao's emissary for a wall, and the reputation of the king can spread all over the world. "

The plot of the king of Qin was thoroughly 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 was stopped by the king of Qin. The King of Qin said, "Even if we kill Lin Xiangru now, there will be no walls. On the contrary, it will damage the friendship between Qin and Zhao and the reputation of Qin. It is better to take the opportunity to treat him well and let him go back to Zhao. "

So the king of Qin still received Lin Xiangru in court according to the ceremony of nine guests; Then politely send him back to China. After that, Qin refused to give fifteen cities to Zhao, and Zhao naturally would not give the city walls to Qin.

Mianchi Zhihui

In 282 BC, Qin sent generals to take Zhao Jian (now Lishi County, Shanxi Province) and Qi (now Qixian County, Shanxi Province). The following year, 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 twenty thousand troops, but his offensive also stopped.

In 279 BC (the twentieth year of Zhao Huiwen), Zhao Haoqi, the king of Qin, wanted to make peace with Zhao in order to concentrate on attacking Chu. So he sent messengers to see Zhao and asked him to meet in Mianchi (now Mianchi County, Henan Province) outside Xihe River to cultivate mutual 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 the king of Zhao to go: "If the king of Qin doesn't go, it will appear that Zhao Guoli is timid. It is better to go. " The prince of Zhao listened to Lian and Lin'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 case of any eventuality, 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, please play a song for fun! " The prince of Zhao dared not refuse, so he had to play a song. At this time, Qin Yushi came over 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 presented 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 guards of the king of Qin hurriedly drew their swords to kill Lin Xiangru. Lin Xiangru stare eyes, drink, guards repeatedly retreat. The king of Qin was very unhappy and had to knock a few times. Lin Xiangru turned to Zhao's suggestion and wrote it down: On a certain day in a certain year, the king of Zhao and the king of Qin held a banquet in Mianchi, and the king of Zhao ordered the king of Qin to knock chopsticks to entertain guests.

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, saying, "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. Qin also knew that Lian Po's army was stationed at the border and was not good at fighting, so he had to respectfully send Zhao and his subjects home. After that, the war between Qin and Zhao was temporarily stopped.

Lian Po

Lian Po, whose date of birth and death is unknown, was an outstanding military general of Zhao during the Warring States Period. 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, Qi was the most powerful of 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 remove obstacles, the king of Qin sent troops to attack Zhao many times. Lian Po led the army of Zhao to defeat many times, forcing Qin to change its strategy and implement the alliance. In the fifty-fourth year (first 258 years), King Huiwen made peace with Zhao in Zhongyang (now west of Zhongyang County, Shanxi Province). In order to unite the divisions of Korea, Yan, Wei and Zhao against Qi, the Qi army was defeated. Among them, in the 16th year of King Huiwen (the first 283 years), Lian Po led the Zhao army to cut Qi, marched straight into Qi, captured (now Dancheng West, Shandong Province, was originally a patriotic territory, and later belonged to Qi) and became a vassal, and Ye Zhao became the first of the six countries. Lian Po moved troops back to Korea and worshipped Shang Qing (Shang Qing was the highest-ranking civil servant at that time, equivalent to the later prime minister). The State of Qin did not want to rashly attack Zhao, only because of Lian Po's power. Since then, Lian Po led the army to fight, held his ground and captured it, and almost won every battle, which had a great influence on other countries.

In the thirty-second year of Zhou Nanwang (the 16th year of Zhao Huiwen, the first 283 years), Qiang Qin was willing to exchange fifteen cities after winning the Yong Wall. Zhao sent Lin Xiangru to the State of Qin, and Lin Xiangru was just a "Scheeren" under the eunuch Miao Xianmen. After Miao Xian recommended to King Huiwen, he took the "Choi of Harmony" and became the envoy of Zhao to the State of Qin. Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao with great wisdom and courage, and won the diplomatic victory over Qin.

Later, Qin conquered Zhao and occupied Shicheng. In nineteen years, King Huiwen attacked Zhao again, killing twenty thousand troops of Zhao. At this time, the king of Qin wanted to make peace with the prince of Zhao in Mianchi (now Mianchi County, Henan Province). The prince of Zhao was afraid and didn't want to go. Lian Po and Lin Xiangru negotiated to 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, "Your Majesty's visit is only thirty days. If you don't pay it back in 30 days, please ask the prince to blackmail Zhao Zhiwang by breaking Qin. " Lian Po's general demeanor and careful arrangement strengthened the image of the prince 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 the king 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 Shangguan", ranking above Lian Po. Lian Po was dissatisfied with Lin Xiangru's title of Shangqing, thinking that he, as a general of Zhao, had made great contributions by attacking wild 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. After Lin Xiangru knew it, he didn't want to compete with Lian Po, but adopted a forbearing attitude. In order not to make Lian Po rank lower than himself in the imperial court, he always admitted that he was ill every time he was in the imperial court. 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, Lin Xiangru, the covetous king of Qin, dared to curse in court and humiliate his ministers. Will I still be afraid of Lian Po? The reason why we dare not send troops to Zhao is because Lian Po and I are both DPRK officials. If we fight with 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. " Upon hearing this, Lian Po was deeply moved. He chose the day when Lin Xiangru had the most guests. With thorns on his back, he came to Lin Xiangru's house with bare arms and demanded that Lin Xiangru be punished. From then on, the two became friends, life and death and * * *.

The story of "harmony but difference" 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 innovative, sincere and frank personality makes people feel more amiable and lovely.

In the twentieth year of Zhao Huiwen (278 BC), Lian Po conquered an army of Qi. In the second year of Zhao Huiwen's twentieth year (276 BC), he cut Qi again and captured Jiucheng. The following 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 Lian's friendship with Lin that Zhao was United and devoted to serving the country that Zhao was once powerful and became a barrier for eastern governors to stop Qin from advancing eastward. /kloc-Qin dares to attack Zhao after 0/0 years.

In 266 BC, Zhao Huiwen died and became king. At this time, at the request of Fan Sui, the State of Qin adopted the strategy of "making friends with Qi and Chu", and at the same time attacked small neighboring countries. In the fifty-fifth year of Zhou Nanwang (260 BC), the State of Qin attacked Shangdang in North Korea. The south Korean defenders attending the banquet were helpless, so the satrap dedicated the banquet to 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. So, Lian Po was ordered to command two hundred thousand Zhao soldiers and keep them out of Changping (now northwest of Gaoping County, Shaanxi Province) (see the battle of Changping). At that time, Qin Jun had taken the wild king from the south (now Qinyang, Henan) and slightly joined the Party from the north (now central Shanxi), cutting off the connection between Changping and the south, and his morale was high. The Zhao army came from afar, not only at a disadvantage, but also at a passive disadvantage. Faced with this situation, Lian Po correctly adopted the operational policy of establishing base areas to hold on, consuming the enemy and attacking the enemy with cameras. He ordered Zhao to build a tight barrier by virtue of mountain hazards. Despite Qin Jun's several challenges, Lian Po always shuts the crowd out. At the same time, the people in Shangdang area were concentrated, engaged in battlefield transportation, and committed to building fortifications against Qin. Zhao heavily guarded, unable to meet the challenge, and his spirit gradually lost. In order to defeat Qin Jun's plan of a quick victory, Lian Po fought hard and persisted for three years. Seeing that a quick victory was not enough, Qin asked, convincing the prince of Zhao that Qin was most worried about replacing Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Wang was eager to win, and finally fell into a trap. He thinks that Lian Po is afraid of war, forcing him to resign from Lian Po and use Zhao Kuo as his general. Although Lin Xiangru protested that Zhao Kuo, an armchair strategist, was not suitable for this post, the prince of Zhao did not listen and appointed Zhao Kuo as general. After Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Po, Lian Po's strategic plan was completely changed and many officers were replaced. Seeing that Zhao Kuo became a general, Qin secretly asked Wu's troops to attack Zhao. In Changping, he defeated the Zhao Kuo army, shot and killed Zhao Kuo, and trapped 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 was greatly reduced.

Yan took Zhao to Changping, and Prime Minister Li abdomen was the general. In view of Zhao's situation that "the strong are all in Changping, but they are unable to do their own thing", Qin sent troops to attack Zhao in the 56th year (the first 25 1 year). Zhao named Lian Po as a general and commanded the famous battle of governance. He divided the whole army into two roads. One led by Lecheng went straight to the local area to fight against the Yan army on the West Road, and the other led by himself to face the main force of the Yan army in Juancheng (now Baixiang County, Hebei Province). Lian Po commanded Zhao, who was jointly guarding the township, and adopted the tactics of concentrating his forces and bashing the enemy head-on. The first battle was successful, which defeated the enemy soldiers and knocked out the arrogance of the Yan army. Then, he led the Zhao army to defeat the main force of the Yan army and cut the chestnut belly. Commander-in-Chief Yan Jun was beheaded and fled in panic. 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 to see that Yan was in danger, so he had to agree to all the requirements of Zhao, such as ceding 5 cities and making peace with Zhao. Lian Po was honored as the 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, the troops captured Longyang (now the northwest of Neihuang County, Henan Province), indicating that Zhao Guoli had recovered.

Lian Po was dismissed by 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 electricity, 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 as king, and his son Zhao Dunxiang succeeded him. King Xiang listened to the slanderers of treacherous court official Guo Kai, dismissed Lian Po and sent Lecheng instead of Lian Po. Angry at being excluded, Lian Po attacked Lecheng, and Lecheng fled. 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 him. Because Zhao was besieged for many times, the king of Zhao wanted to appoint Lian Po and Lian Po wanted to be appointed by Zhao. The prince of Zhao sent Tang Jiu, the eunuch, to see Lian Po with a pair of precious armor and four fast horses to see if Lian Po could still be used. Guo Kai, the enemy of Lian Po, secretly gave Tang Jiu a lot of money and spoke ill of Lian Po, fearing that Lian Po would take power again. After Zhao's emissary 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 and 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 meet him. After Lian Po became a general of Chu, he made no achievements. He said: "I want to show my attachment to the folks in my motherland with Zhao people (Biography of Historical Records, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru). However, after all, Zhao failed to reuse him, which led to the depression of this generation of famous soldiers who made great contributions to Zhao Li, and finally died in Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) of Chu State. Ten years later, Zhao was destroyed by Qin (see the battle of Qin destroying Zhao).

Lian Po Mausoleum is located on the south slope of Niufang Mountain, Bagong Mountain, 7 kilometers north of Shouxian County. The tomb faces west and has a circumference of 300 meters. It is bordered by Huaihe River in the west and surrounded by mountains in the north, south and east. A generation of romantic scenery attracts mountains and rivers, and heroic spirit stirs up the future.

Lian Po was an outstanding military general in the Warring States Period. He fought for decades, besieged numerous cities and never lost. People are also worried and dare to correct their mistakes. His life, as Sima Guang said, "Whether Lian Po is used or not is really related to Zhao's life and death. Only in this way can we 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 biographies such as Historical Records, Lian Po and Lin Xiangru. This article consists of three stories: "All Belongs to Zhao", "Mianchi Meeting" and "Connecting with the Forest" (or "Admit a humble apology").

The word "Bi" that "returned to Zhao intact" refers to "He". It's 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. King Li was furious and thought that Bian He was deceiving himself, so he cut off Bian He's left foot on charges of deceiving the monarch. Soon, Li Wang died and acceded to the throne. 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 ascended 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, saying, "Many people in the world don't cry like this because their feet have been cut off. Why are you crying like this? " Bian He replied, "I didn't cry because my foot was cut off. I am sad that someone actually called Baoyu a stone and accused a loyal minister of cheating. " King Wen sent someone to process this jade pu, which proved to be a rare treasure. So I named this treasure jade "He Shibi". Because of its rarity and extraordinary origin, this piece of Baoyu has become a world-recognized treasure, and its value is priceless. This is also the reason why the king of Qin did not hesitate to use the fifteen cities as bait to defraud the "harmony". Lin Xiangru was not afraid of rape and risked his life. On the one hand, he returned to Zhao intact in order to safeguard national interests and fulfill his mission. On the other hand, it also lies in the preciousness of "He".

Lian Po was a famous soldier of Zhao at the end of the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen proclaimed himself king, he was named Shangqing. He defeated Qi, Wei and other countries many times and made great contributions to Zhao. The battle of Changping was impregnable and blocked for three years. Later, Zhao Haoqi and Cheng Xiao fell into the trap of Qin and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, which was a fiasco. Yan took the opportunity to attack Zhao. Zhao Haoqi and Cheng Xiao revived Lian Po and defeated the Yan Army. Zhao Wang named Lian Po as Xinping Jun and Ren Xiangguo. Zhao mourned the king, but Lian Po was frustrated and defected to Wei. Wei didn't trust him, so he never used it again. He went to Chu State again and became a general of Chu State. Finally, he died of old age in Chu.

Lin Xiangru was a minister of Zhao in the Warring States Period. When Zhao Huiwen became king, he got a rare treasure jade from Chu, which Qin Guoqiang exchanged with 15 city. Lin Xiangru was ordered to take the jade to court with the king of Qin and return it to Zhao intact. Zhao Wang made Xiangru a doctor. In 279 BC, he followed Zhao Huiwen to Mianchi (now Mianchi West, Henan Province) to meet the king of Qin, so that the king of Zhao would not be 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 endured an epiphany, offered a humble apology, and the two became close friends. Turn the story of Xianghe into a beautiful talk.

Or simply introduce the story of "Harmony but Difference": 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 attend the Mianchi meeting arranged by the king of Qin, so that Wang Zhao would not 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, is proud of taking credit. He refuses to accept this, but he deliberately provokes again and again. Lin Xiangru has always been patient, focusing on national affairs. Lian Po finally woke up and offered a humble apology to Lin Xiangru. Make peace, * * * auxiliary country, national security.
