Lin Xiangru was a famous diplomat in the Warring States era, as long as he personally went out on the horse in everything, Zhao Guo would certainly not suffer losses. When he was a student, I believe that many people were deeply impressed by him, after all, several historical allusions such as "the return of the bibi to Zhao, the meeting of the pond, and the sin of bearing the jing" have been well known to the world. However, Lin Xiangru is certainly a capable person, but he lacks a big picture view, you know, a momentary prestige, do not know the weight of the blind play, will only lead to disasters, the reason why the teacher does not tell you the follow-up of "complete Bi return to Zhao", it is also because of this.
In 283 BC, King Huiwen of Zhao received the Heshibi of the State of Chu, and when King Zhaoxiang of Qin heard about it, he immediately expressed his willingness to exchange 15 cities and pools. However, King Zhao was very worried in his heart, the King of Qin was very powerful and powerful, if he did not agree to his request, it might lead to disaster, and if he was given to him and Shi Bi as agreed, it was very likely that there would be no return. Suddenly, King Zhao, Lian Po, and the courtiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Just when the atmosphere was embarrassed, Miao Xian stood up, and he recommended lin Xiangru to the King of Zhao and praised him greatly. After a while, Lin Xiangru was called up, and he boasted to king Zhao about Haikou, saying that he would definitely let the king of Qin fulfill his promise, and even if it was not good, he would send Heshibi back to the Zhao kingdom safely. As a result, Lin Xiangru was appointed by King Zhao as an envoy to escort Heshi Bi, and his words and deeds were related to the interests and honors of the Zhao state.
A few days later, the King of Qin summoned Lin Xiangru, who had been observing the King of Qin's actions after presenting heshibi. Unexpectedly, the King of Qin not only focused on Heshi Bi and never mentioned the matter of giving zhao guocheng pool, but also passed on the incomparably precious Heshi Bi to concubines and attendants, no matter what kind of psychology, the Qin King's move successfully angered Lin Xiangru, and also strengthened his determination to "burn jade stones". Therefore, he took back heshibi from the King of Qin on the pretext that "Heshibi has flaws".
After arriving, Lin Xiangru smashed he and shibi while asking the King of Qin to fulfill his promise, and at the same time, he also asked the King of Qin to follow the procedures according to etiquette. The King of Qin was helpless, and in order to get Heshi bi, he had to agree to Lin Xiangru's request, but as everyone knew, at this time, Heshi bi had already been secretly sent back to the Zhao kingdom by Lin Xiangru's messengers, and would only be handed over to him after he ceded the city. At first glance, Lin Xiangru seems to be a hero of the Zhao Kingdom, and he has "arranged" the King of Qin clearly and clearly, and has been following his "script".
According to the "Records of History", after Lin Xiangru returned to China, he soon became a "hero" of the Zhao State, and he was not only able to increase his rank and become a knight, but even the limelight was above lianpo. However, the King of Qin was not easy to provoke, and after being threatened in person, he did not take long to retaliate against Zhao Guo: "Qin cut down Zhao and pulled out the stone city." Next year, he will re-attack Zhao and kill 20,000 people. "In 282 BC, the general Bai first captured two places in the Zhao state, and the following year captured Shicheng, and then killed more than 20,000 soldiers of the Zhao state, putting everyone in the Zhao state at risk.
Just because of a piece of jade, the Zhao state offended the powerful Qin state, Lin Xiangru could not fail to understand the principle of "Taoguang yang obscure", but in order to make a name for himself, instead of giving reasonable advice, he went up to the difficulties, marched dangerously, and put the Zhao state in a dangerous place, resulting in the loss of 20,000 soldiers in the Zhao state, and the military prestige was greatly damaged. For the King of Qin, what he lacked was not the city pool, nor the Heshi Bi, but the question of who to fight first and who to fight later. In the end, the Zhao state became the second country after Korea to be destroyed by the Qin state, and sometimes, the dispute between words and tongues can still save the province, what do you think?
