What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Incorruptibility is heard, and the flesh bears the burden of the thorn, because the guests are like the door to apologize. - "History of the Seventy Columns, Lian Po Lin Xiang Xiang Biography"
This is the description of the story of the sin of the bearer in the Chronicle of History.
King Wuling of Zhao
After King Wuling of Zhao carried out the reform of Hufu riding and shooting, the State of Zhao annexed the State of Zhongshan, defeated the nomadic tribes in the north, and expanded its territory. The state of Zhao rose rapidly, and after King Wuling of Zhao starved to death in the Dune Palace, King Huiwen of Zhao was young and was held hostage by the powerful minister Zhao Cheng. After that, King Huiwen of Zhao defeated Zhao Cheng and seized the power of the Zhao state.
After King Huiwen of Zhao ascended the throne, he implemented the policy of Qingming in the State of Zhao, appointing many sages, including Lian Po and Lin Xiangru. For Lian Po and Lin Xiang, we all know the story of "bearing jing and asking for sin", which makes zhao guo's courtiers harmonious.
Lin is similar
Lin Xiangru was a famous civilian official of the Zhao State. At that time, King Huiwen of Zhao received the Heshibi of the Chu State, and when King Qin Zhao heard the news, he said that he would exchange fifteen cities for heshibi. King Huiwen of Zhao thought that the deal was a good deal, so he asked Lin Xiangru to take Yubi to the Qin Kingdom.
After King Qin Zhao got the Heshibi, he did not want to sign a land cession contract, and Lin Xiangru saw that the Qin state wanted to occupy the Heshibi. He stepped forward and reported to King Qin Zhao: "Your Majesty, there is a scar on the jade bibi, I will show it to Your Majesty." King Qin Zhao gave Heshi Bi to Lin Xiangru, who retreated to the pillar and raised his hand to smash Yu Bi.
Only then did King Qin Zhao sign an agreement to cede the city, and Lin Xiangru handed over the jade bi to King Qin Zhao, completing the mission entrusted by King Huiwen of Zhao. After that, after the end of the Rope Pond Alliance, because Lin Xiang was as meritorious as he was, he was worshipped as a shangqing and his status was above lianpo. Lian Po believes that he has been fighting outside for many years, but he is not as high as Lin Xiang, and his heart is not convinced.
King Qin Zhao
Lin Xiangru heard that Lian Po was not happy in his heart, so he tried to avoid him and did not appear in front of him. During the dynasty, Lin Xiangru pretended to be sick and asked for leave, and when he encountered Lianpo on the road, Lin Xiangru took the initiative to avoid the road and let Lianpo pass first. Lin Xiangru's doorman asked Lin Xiangru, "Your status is quite high compared to Lian, why do you still let him go everywhere?" ”
Lin Xiangru replied, "We are all courtiers of the Zhao Kingdom, and fighting each other for personal grievances will not only destroy ourselves, but also destroy the entire Zhao Kingdom." When these words reached Lian Po's ears, he realized the gap between himself and Lin. Lian Po was a rough man, and in order to show his apologies, he came to Lin Xiangru's door with his bare back and thorns on his back.
Lin Xiangru quickly helped Lian Po up, but Lian Po refused to get up and said to Lin Xiangru:
"Despicable people, I don't know that the general is so lenient."
The Shangqing and the Great General of the State of Zhao resolved the contradiction and achieved the good story of general harmony. After that, with the full cooperation of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, they defeated the State of Qi and the State of Wei successively, and defeated the Qin army at Fu and Yi. In 266 BC, King Huiwen of Zhao died of illness and King Xiaocheng of Zhao ascended the throne.
King Xiaocheng of Zhao ascended the throne
Four years later, the Qin army pressed the border and attacked the Shangdang area of the Zhao State. At this time, Lin Xiangru was seriously ill, and Zhao Guo's burden was all on Lian Po. Lian Po led the Zhao army to clear the field, prepared to consume the Qin army, and waited until the Qin army ran out of grain and grass, and then went out to meet the attack. A few months later, the Qin army still made no progress, and fell into a situation of lack of food and grass.
Bai Qi proposed to the King of Qin that a divisive strategy be adopted, and the spies of the Qin state spread everywhere: "The Qin army is afraid of Zhao Kuo, not afraid of Lianpo, and Lianpo will only stick to it and will undoubtedly lose." At this time, not only was the grain shortage in the Qin state, but the grain supply of the Zhao state was also stretched, and the King of Zhao believed that the honest and prudent adherence to the strategy would only consume the country's grain in vain.
Lin Xiang died of illness
Bai Qi's divisive plan was successful, Lian Po was removed from his post, and Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Po as a general in the Zhao army. Later, in the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi defeated the Zhao army and buried 400,000 Zhao troops alive. Most of zhao guo's national strength was exhausted, and from then on it went downhill. Lin Xiangru was already seriously ill, and when he heard the news of Changping's defeat, he was devastated and died in anger.
The Zhao state was defeated, and various countries also sent troops to prepare to destroy the Zhao state together. The King of Yan sent an army to prepare to capture the land of the Zhao state when the Zhao state was dead. Lian Po led his troops to resist and defeated the Yan army in the case of a shortage of troops in the Zhao state. After the death of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, King Xiang of Zhao ascended the throne, and as soon as he ascended the throne, he dismissed Lian Po from his military post.
King Xiang of Zhao sent Le Cheng to take over Lian Po's military post, but Lian Po was angry and sent troops to attack Le Cheng. Later, Le Cheng fled, and Lian Po could only flee to the State of Wei. After Lian Po left the Zhao state, the state of Qin attacked the state of Zhao many times, and the state of Zhao suffered heavy losses, and the king of Zhao deliberately recalled Lian Po and sent someone to visit Lian Po.
Lianpo was exiled to a foreign land
Guo Kai, the enemy of Lianpo, took the opportunity to bribe the emissary and let the emissary say bad things about Lianpo. After Lian Po saw the emissaries of the Zhao Kingdom arrive, he wanted to show that he could still fight. So I ate a bucket of rice and ten pounds of meat at a meal, changed into armor, and practiced martial arts. However, the emissary had already been bribed by Guo Kai and went back to report to King Xiang of Zhao:
"Although General Lian is old and still good at eating, he sits with his subjects and is the third of them."
King Xiang of Zhao saw that Lian Po was older and no longer considered letting him lead the army, and Lian Po eventually lost the opportunity to lead the army for zhao guo. The State of Chu heard the news that Lian Po was in the State of Wei and sent emissaries to meet Lian Po and go to the State of Chu to serve as a general. Lian Po said to the emissaries of the Chu state:
"I want to use Zhao Ren."
Lian Po had no choice but to go to the Chu State, serving as a great general, and being in a foreign land, so that Lian Po was sullen and unhappy every day, and eventually died of depression. Shortly after Lian Po's death, the State of Qin sent troops to destroy the State of Zhao. Lian Po and Lin Xiang are like two national soldiers, one is dedicated to the country, one died of grief and anger after the Battle of Changping, and the other died of homesickness in a foreign land, which is really sad!
