Of course, Xin Lingjun could not save Zhao Guo, but saving Zhao Guo showed that Xin Lingjun's foresight was farsighted. Although Xin Lingjun also had selfish intentions, he knew more than his brother King Wei An of the Cold.
Let's see how the "Chronicle of the Duke of Wei" records the Xinling Jun Wei Wujie:
The prince is a benevolent and corporal, and the soldiers are humble and courteous, and they do not dare to be proud of their wealth. Thousands of miles of soldiers rushed to return to it, and three thousand diners were satisfied. When it was, the princes, with their sons and sons, did not dare to add troops to Wei for more than ten years.
- "History of the Duke of Wei"
That is to say, Wei Wujie is kind and modest, whether he is talented or incompetent, as long as he comes to him, he will treat him with courtesy and never treat people arrogantly because of his noble status. Therefore, the tourists who traveled thousands of miles rushed to him, and there were more than three thousand diners under his door. At that time, it was because of Wei Wujie's wisdom and the fact that there were many capable diners under the door, so for more than ten years, the princes of various countries did not dare to send troops to attack the State of Wei.
Twenty years after king Wei An, King Zhao of Qin had broken zhao's changping army and entered the army to besiege Handan. Gongzi's sister was Lady Pingyuanjun, the younger brother of King Huiwen of Zhao, and counted the widows of The King of Wei and gongzi, please save Wei.
In the twentieth year of the reign of King Wei (257 BC), King Zhaoxiang of Qin, after defeating the Zhao army in Changping, marched into an army to besiege the capital of the Zhao state of Handan. Xin Lingjun's sister was the wife of Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Zhao, so Zhao Sheng wrote several distress letters to the King of Wei and Xin Lingjun for help.
However, because King Wei stopped rescuing Zhao after being threatened and warned by the State of Qin, although Xin Lingjun and his protégés lobbied The King of Wei to save Zhao countless times, the King of Wei always held a wait-and-see attitude.
After not being rescued by the State of Wei, Zhao Sheng, the Prince of Pingyuan, sent a batch of emissaries to accuse Xin Lingjun of not being righteous enough, and used his sister's future fate to encourage Xin Lingjun to rescue Zhao Guo with practical actions. In the end, when Xin Lingjun persuaded the King of Wei to no avail, he decided to lead three thousand guests to rescue Zhao Guo with his own death.
The envoy of the Plains Emperor Guan Gai xiang belonged to Wei, and let the Prince of Wei know: "Victory is attached to himself as a marriage, and with the high righteousness of the prince, he is able to be anxious for people's difficulties." Now Handan Dan descended to Qin and Wei could not save him, and An Zai Gongzi could be anxious to be trapped! And the prince won lightly, abandoned it and surrendered to Qin, and did not pity the prince's sister? "The prince was troubled, and the number of pleased Kings of Wei, and the guest debaters said that Wang Wanduan. The King of Wei feared Qin and finally did not listen to the prince. Gongzi Zidu could not get it from the king in the end, and he did not want to be born alone and cause Zhao to die, but to invite guests, ride a hundred rides, and wanted to go to the Qin army with guests, and Died with Zhao.
Here we can see that Xin Lingjun cherished his reputation very much, and in order to keep his faith, he was willing to bring three thousand guests to save Zhao. Finally, under the planning of his disciple Hou Wei, he stole the soldier charm of the King of Wei through Ru Ji, seized the military power of Jin, led the Wei army, and saved the State of Zhao.
Because the King of Wei was originally jealous of the talent and prestige of Xin Lingjun. After relieving the zhao state of plight, Xin Lingjun was forced to stay in the state of Zhao for ten years. If it were not for the Qin army attacking Wei, and Wei would have led an army against Qin, Xinling Junding would have died in the Zhao state.
Gongzi stayed with Zhao for ten years and did not return. Prince Wen of Qin was in Zhao, sending troops to the east to attack Wei day and night. The King of Wei was troubled, and the envoys went to ask for a prince.
Before he could speak, Gongzi immediately changed color and told the car to drive back to save Wei.
At first, the King of Wei asked Xin Lingjun to return to China, but Xin Lingjun was afraid that the King of Wei would hate himself, so he resolutely refused to return. However, when Mao Gong and Xue Gong persuaded him, he immediately returned to China to save Wei Nan. Here we see once again the profound righteousness of Xin Lingjun. When he understood the importance of saving Wei, he immediately packed up his things and returned to China regardless of his personal safety.
The princes heard of the prince's generals, and each sent generals to save Wei. Gongzi led the troops of the Five Kingdoms to break the Qin army outside the river and walked to Mengxiao. So he took advantage of the victory to drive the Qin army to Hangu Pass, suppressing the Qin soldiers, and the Qin soldiers did not dare to come out.
Because of the righteous deeds of Xin Lingjun who "stole the charm to save Zhao" before, he made him intimidate the princes and enjoyed a high prestige among the princes. Therefore, when he returned to the State of Wei, several other princely states also sent troops to rescue the State of Wei. Under the leadership of Xin Lingjun, the Five-Nation Alliance defeated the Qin army, drove out the Qin general Meng Xiao, and forced the Qin army into Hangu Pass.
However, as soon as the external troubles eased, the King of Wei listened to the qin state's counter-plan and abandoned Xin Lingjun. Xin Lingjun died of depression, and soon the State of Wei was destroyed by the State of Qin.
When Prince Wen of Qin died, Meng Xiao attacked Wei, pulled out twenty cities, and initially set up Dong Commandery. Later, Qin slightly encroached on Wei, and at the age of eighteen, he captured the King of Wei and slaughtered Da liang.
