The "Will Xianghe" in the sixth lesson of the fifth grade of the primary school book is believed to be very familiar to everyone, which mainly tells three stories that happened between Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, the return of Bibi to Zhao, the meeting of Shi Chi, and the guilt of Jing. So do you know what happened to Lian Po and Lin Xiangru?
Lian Po and Lin Xiangru can be described as two important ministers of the Zhao Kingdom, supporting the two Optimus Pillars of the Zhao Kingdom.
Return to Zhao
After passing the Shang martingale transformation method, the Qin state became stronger and stronger, and soon became a powerful country in the Warring States period, so the other six kingdoms were more jealous of the Qin state, and one day, the King of Zhao got a priceless treasure, named Heshi Bi. When the King of Qin heard about it, he wanted to get him, so he wrote a letter to the King of Zhao, wanting to exchange 15 cities for Heshibi, but the Ambition of the King of Qin was well known, and his desire for Heshibi was real, but it was impossible to give the city pool.
King Zhao's side didn't know what to do for a while and a half, so he didn't take Heshi Bi and went there, for fear of angering the King of Qin and bringing war to the Zhao kingdom. Take Heshi Bi with you, and you are afraid that the King of Qin will not believe that the treasure will go and there will be no return.
Therefore, lin Xiangru could only go out to the Qin kingdom with treasures and clan bi, and after the king of Qin got the heshi bi, he loved it, but he only did not mention the matter of the fifteen cities, Lin Xiangru knew that the king of Qin did not intend to give the city pool, so he said to the king of Qin: "Great king, there is a flaw in the heshi bi, I will show it to the king", and then deceived the heshi bi from the hands of the king of Qin.
After that, he threatened the King of Qin that if he did not give him 15 cities, he would destroy Heshibi. In order to make peace with shibi, the king of Qin pretended to agree to Lin Xiangru, but Lin Xiangru did not trust the king of Qin and asked the king of Qin to fast for five days before he was willing to hand over heshibi to the king of Qin. During this period, Lin Xiangru had people bring Heshi Bi back to the Zhao Kingdom, and the King of Qin was very angry when he found out, but he was afraid that killing Lin Xiangru would offend the Zhao Kingdom, so after some hospitality, he could only put him back.
The Meeting of the Pond
Soon after, there was a meeting of The Pond, where the King of Qin feasted on the King of Zhao, who was afraid but did not dare not go, so Lin Xiangru volunteered to accompany him. However, at the banquet, the King of Qin was very arrogant, insulted the King of Zhao many times, and asked the King of Zhao to play for him, etc. It was Lin Xiangru who stepped forward and argued according to reason, so that the King of Qin had to fight, obtaining an equal status for the Zhao State and saving face for the King of Zhao.
These two events made King Zhao feel that Lin Xiangru was a rare talent, so he promoted him to Shangqing, surpassing the famous general Lian Po who had distinguished himself in battle.
Bear the sin of thorns
Seeing a person who can only brush his lips, his status is even higher than his own, Lian Po is very unhappy, let go of the words to teach Lin Xiangru, and Lin Xiangru in order to avoid arguing with Lian Po, see Lian Po hides, which makes the people around him extremely dissatisfied, after all, Lian Po's status is not as good as Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru explained: I am not afraid of him, I just don't want to have a conflict with him, only two people work together, Qin Guo has no chance, why can't Zhao Guo."
After Lian Po learned of this, he was very ashamed, and all the people who carried thorns on their backs came to apologize for Lin Xiangru's sins, and Lin Xiangru was very happy to welcome Lian Po into the palace, which is the famous story of Xiang He.
The State of Zhao, thanks to the efforts of two important ministers, Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, had maintained a strong strength that prevented the State of Qin from destroying them, but during the reign of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, the State of Zhao offended the State of Qin because of its coveting of The Shangdang County in Korea. The King of Qin asked Wang Gong to lead an army to attack the State of Zhao, and the King of Zhao sent the famous general Lian Po to meet Wang Gong. The Qin state was powerful, so Lian Po adopted a defensive strategy, and the two sides immediately fell into a stalemate.
The long-term confrontation made both countries unable to eat, and the Zhao state had a serious shortage of grain, and they borrowed grain from the State of Qi, but the State of Qi refused, and the State of Qin also had a grain and grass dilemma. At this time, both countries wanted to fight a quick battle, so the Qin state spread rumors that the Qin army was not afraid of the veteran general Lian Po, but was afraid of Zhao Kuo, the son of the famous general Zhao Hao. Zhao Hao had led his troops to defeat the Qin army, and at this time, King Xiaocheng of Zhao, who was worried about the grain and grass problem, also pinned his hopes on Zhao Kuo, hoping that Zhao Kuo would defeat the Qin army like his father, so he won the qin state's counter-plan and let Zhao Kuo replace Lian Po.
Subsequently, the State of Qin secretly let the famous general Bai Qi replace Wang Gong, who was the god of war in the Warring States period and won hundreds of battles in his life, so the inexperienced Zhao Kuo was not his opponent at all. Zhao Kuo was lured by Bai Qi and entered the encirclement circle set up by Bai Qi. After the 45th army of the Zhao army was surrounded by the Qin army, it fell into the dilemma of lack of food and water, and Zhao Kuo led his troops to break through many times in order to save the Zhao army, but all failed, and Zhao Kuo was also shot in the breakthrough. After Zhao Kuo's death, the Zhao army was leaderless and soon surrendered to the Qin army, and they were subsequently killed by Bai Qi.
During the Battle of Changping, Lin Xiangru was already an elderly man, and he opposed the replacement of Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, but King Xiaocheng of Zhao did not listen to his advice, and after the fiasco of the Zhao state, Lin Xiangru died of illness in pain.
After this incident, King Xiaocheng of Zhao reused Lian po, he led his troops to defeat the Qin army at the Battle of Handan, and then led the Zhao army to beat up the Yan army that took the opportunity to attack, so that the Zhao state, which was seriously injured, avoided the disaster of the fall of the country.
However, after the death of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, his son King Xiangxiang of Zhao was more faint than him, and after he became the monarch, he began to exclude Lianpo and sent Le to replace Lianpo to seize Lianpo's military power. This infuriated Lian Po, who led an army to attack Le Cheng, but afterwards, Lian Po feared revenge from King Xiang of Zhao, so he fled to the Wei state of Daliang.
Soon after, King Zhao sent envoys to visit Lian Po and asked if the old general Lian could still eat. Lian Po proved that he could still fight, specially ate a bucket of rice, ten pounds of meat, and put on a horse with armor, indicating that he was still useful, but unfortunately the envoy was bribed by Lian Po's enemy Guo Kai, and came back to tell king Zhao that Lian Po's meal was OK, but after sitting with him for a while, he went to the toilet three times. When King Zhao heard this, he thought that Lianpo was already old, so he stopped thinking of using Lianpo again.
Lian Po was then taken by the State of Chu, and Lian Po waited for The King of Zhao to use him again, but he never waited, and eventually died in the State of Chu.
Who asked: Honest and old, can you still eat?
