The Chronicle of Lian Po Lin is like a biography: "The city enters Zhao and Bi stays in Qin; the city does not enter, and the subject asks bi to return to Zhao." ”
Heshi Bi is a treasure of the world, of course, it has been lost now, so people have no way of knowing what the real Heshi Bi looks like. At most, it can be imagined from the limited written records, and the reason why it is so famous in Chinese history is mainly caused by two things. It is said that the piece of jade seal of Qin Shi Huang was made of Heshi Bi, and this jade seal was regarded as a symbol of orthodoxy by later emperors, so it was fought for more than two thousand years.
However, judging from some circumstances, the true jade seal should have been lost in the process of circulation, and it is not true that Liu Bang got it. This is the last word aside, another thing is the return of the Bibi to Zhao during the Warring States period, this matter must be more or less impressed by everyone, after all, it is a language book that has been learned. At that time, King Huiwen of Qin got this piece of jade, and when King Qin Zhao, who was the great-grandfather of Qin Shi Huang, heard about it, he offered to exchange 15 cities for it.
King Qin Zhao was not a dimwitted king, he naturally would not be so generous, and King Zhao also knew it. But he was very embarrassed, at that time, the Qin State was already a boss-level country, and it would be heart-wrenching to give or not to give zhao Guo. Lin Xiangru stood up at this time and said that he was going to see the prince, and the city would give it if he got it, and the city would definitely come back with Heshibi if he didn't give it. Later things are known, Lin Xiangru used a clever trick to make Heshi Bi finish Bibi and return to Zhao.
General texts only write that the State of Qin did not give the City Pool to the State of Zhao, and the State of Zhao did not give the State of Qin and the Clan Bi, but what about later? The situation later was actually very tragic, on the surface it seemed that King Qin Zhao was bad and stupid, but the people were really a great king. After returning to Zhao, Lin Xiangru became a doctor, and it sounded gratifying to be with the honest general Xianghe. It seems that the Zhao Kingdom will become stronger and stronger under the cooperation of this pair of generals, but the truth is completely opposite, and the Warring States Era is about to come to an end.
On the other side, the State of Zhao will be harmonious and the atmosphere will be harmonious, and on the other side, the State of Qin will also put the attack on Zhao on the agenda. King Huiwen of Zhao had Lin Xiang as incorruptible, and it was very unfortunate that King Qin Zhao had a god of war who was born out of nowhere, Bai Qi. The following year, Bai Qi led people to attack the western border of the Zhao Kingdom, killing 20,000 people and capturing Shicheng. Zhao Guo did temporarily save Heshi Bi, but the price paid was also very heavy, and Qin Zhao had been fighting for several years.
The most tragic one was in Lin Xiangru's later years, in 259 BC, the 22nd year after the return of Bi to Zhao. At this time, King Huiwen of Zhao had died, Lin Xiangru was critically ill in old age, and the State of Qin attacked Zhao again because of the Shangdang. This is the famous Battle of Changping in history, baiqi destroyed 400,000 Zhao troops, and Zhao Guo has never been able to fight back since then. The Qin army was approaching handan city again, and Lin Xiangru, who was lying on the hospital bed, was definitely anxious, but it was useless, and if he lost, he was defeated.
In the end, the five kingdoms sent troops to help, and Zhao Guo was able to survive, and around this time, Lin Xiangru died. His good friend Lao Lianpo was replaced in the Battle of Changping and never had the opportunity to be reused, eventually dying in Shouchun in the Chu state. In fact, looking at the Warring States, a two-pronged strategy is really not important, what is important is strength. Lin Xiang was as flexible as the turnover, first there was a complete Bi return to Zhao, and then there was a Pond Society, but he could not make the Zhao State as powerful as the Qin State.
On the other hand, the State of Qin has not been weak since the Duke of Qin Xiaogong, and its strength is booming, and it has a Ming Jun. Zhao Guo did not lose on the lips, but when it really fought, the strength was as important as the mouth? The Warring States was an era that relied on strength, so that piece of jade was not obtained by King Qin Zhao, but his great-grandson Qin Shi Huang could easily get it. Of course, even if Zhao Guo was willing to give heshibi to him, it was nothing more than a temporary peace, and it could not change the general trend.
